Disclaimer: Outlaw Star, Aisha Clan Clan, the Ctarl Ctarl Empire and any references to any persons or things shown or spoken of on Outlaw Star are the property of Bandai Corporation. They don't belong to me, though I wish they did. ^_^

The Irrelatic Coalition and all Ctarl Ctarl characters not mentioned in the show are of my own creation. I hope you learn to like them as much as I have.

Warning: This story is pretty much PG-13: some language, violence by not of the graphic nature, brief nudity, and brief sexual situations. Chapter 5 deals with a sexual encounter. The version of chapter 5 within this story will be toned down for the PG-13 audience. For those over 17 and not offended by lemon, another version of chapter 5 will be posted separate from this story but is intended as a substitute for the chapter 5 of this story. When I get around to posting chapter 5, I will post the lemon version as well and let those interested in it know where to find it. For those of you under-age and not interested in things of a lemony nature, please disregard this and just enjoy the story at hand.

Acknowledgements: I'd like to extend a BIG thank you to B G whose writing has inspired and challenged me. If you want to read truly great OLS fan fiction read B G's stories. You won't be disappointed. Another BIG thank you to WarDove for encouraging me and helping me with my venture into lemonland. In my opinion she is the very best lemon writer in anime fan fiction. If you're over 17 and enjoy serious passion, WarDove's work is second to none. A very special thank you to Norm for putting up with my constant badgering. There may be better beta readers out there but none more patient or thick-skinned. Thanks Jeremy for your enthusiasm and questions when I described my story idea to you before I even typed my first word. You forced me to think things through, and a special thanks to the rest of my family for putting up with me and my hours in front of the computer. Without your patience and understanding, I would have never gotten this story done.

I am posting the first two prologues and chapter one to start. I will try to post one chapter a week. Expect about 17 chapters in total. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. ^_^

Description: Ever wonder how Aisha ever became an Ambassador? I have. Aisha Clan Clan is one of my all time favorite anime characters but even I know she lacks the diplomatic skills needed to be an ambassador. Also, how could the governor deal with her so harshly when she didn't even know the ship that got way from her was her prey? And when do his/her officers ever ignore the orders of the commander? This story is my attempt to answer some of these questions. As I see it, Aisha is a warrior, not a diplomat and what happened at Blue Heaven is just a little too fishy. Also, ever wonder about Aisha's family and friends? Well, I delve into that part of her life too. I hope you all enjoy. =^_^=

The Rise before the Fall

Prologue 1: The History of the Coalition

800 years ago in a region of space beyond the Ctarl Ctarl Empire, there existed seven species that occupied three neighboring star systems. Combination Reptilian/Humanoid in origin: the Krill, the Korill, the Sooric, the Sourik, the Ollong, the Prollong, and the Drax. Each occupied its own planet in relative peace and isolation. Their collective misfortunes were occupying the only planets rich in natural resources in that sector of space. For this reason, each planet fell under attack from neighboring empires that were seeking the raw materials their planets had to offer. For over four centuries these seven species were ruled by hostile mammalian alien forces, first by the Covac, then by the Egytaal, then the Syriial, then the Babaal, then the Purssious and finally by the Greelock.

From the very beginning, these seven species fought for their freedom and though they managed to win major battles against their oppressors over the centuries, the failure of all seven to work together eventually led to their defeat. It wasn't until the reign of the Purssious Empire that these seven species were first introduced to each other. Wide spread famine on Sooric and Ollong made the Purssious immigrate people from the other five planets to these two. Learning for the first time of their shared suffering, they swore allegiance to each other.

Slowly, over the next seventy years these seven species worked secretly, developing weapons and ships to use against their oppressors. In the thirty-fifth year of the reign of the Greelock, these seven species fought and won their freedom. It was then that the Irrelatic Coalition was formed, a tight confederacy of these seven species. A council was formed to act as a single unilateral government for all seven species. "Strength in Unity" was the Coalition Slogan.

But winning their freedom was no longer enough. After four hundred years in bondage, the members of the Coalition wanted vengeance against their former mammalian rulers. The Coalition instituted a policy of global genocide. Extermination was viewed as the only acceptable form of restitution, and along with this policy was expansion throughout the neighboring sectors. Over the next three hundred years, as the Coalition encountered new, different life forms they dealt with them based on their classification. None mammalian species and humanoids were allowed to relocate outside the newly expanded territory, mammalian species were simply exterminated. This lead to the first encounter between the Coalition and the Ctarl Ctarl Empire at Sector Alpha 66. And although they were later defeated at an encounter at Sector Alpha 59, the Coalition chose at that time not to retaliate. This region of space was still far from the heart of the Coalition Empire, so over the next hundred years only minor skirmishes broke out. It was not until 41429 of the Ctarl calendar that full scale war broke out between these two powerful Empires. The following story tells of one decisive battle, twenty years into that war and the young captain that turned the tide of the battle and the war with her courage and tenacity.
