BIrdmen!

Motto:
It is out noble call to hold back the dark plague of hostile
aliens that invade our boarders and spread crime, death, and disorder
to our member worlds. Only our fleet can be the arsenal of freedom
that can stop the Cyborg menace. We strike from the darkness and
leave as silently as we came. Unseen and very deadly. Our enemies
fear us. We are the invisible warriors.
Description:
Sneaky types with the best cloakers around. Did
someone say Romulans? Especially good versus Borg.

How to play:
Place photon torpedoes on your high attack bonus ships. Use the very
fast Deth Specula to disrupt enemy freighter runs. Take advantage of
your strong ground combat power to capture lightly guarded enemy bases.
Be careful not to destroy your own fighter craft with the Nemesis Torpedo
super weapon. Your scanners are weak on most ships so be sure to build
Skyfire class ships to be your eyes. Have Skyfires travel ahead of your
cloaked ships. Use the Darkwings with world crusher missiles to get
close to unshielded enemy bases while under cloak. Fire the world crusher
missiles and return to cloak and move to a new location. Board enemy
ships from cloaked ships. If the enemy is grouping to attack your fleet
scatter your ships and take out many of their bases at once. If the
enemy is spreading out to defend his planets group your ships into strong
fleets and take out his spread out ships a few at a time. Try to make
friends with other races, they would most likely want to trade ship
plans or want you to help them fight the Cyborg. One of the most powerful
attacks you can use on an enemy ship is a boarding action from a Deth
Specula using all Birdmen High Guard Rangers. Your boarding High Guard
will be able to kill 2 to 50 enemy crew and guests each and get away
back to your cloaked ship if they fail to take the enemy ship. Packs
of Deth Speculas can do a lot of harm to an enemy ship's crew.
Blah:
