Can't remember. That was only a couple months after I even joined ASVS, when the only denizens I understood were Chuck, Dalton, and Elim.

Anyway:

From the ASVS Vault

Well, I felt it appropriate in this case.. To begin my stay here with
something of interest. It's a space combat scenario, to be precise. The
Eclipse class Command Ship Indefetigable, under the command of a clone
of Grand Admiral Thrawn, with full flash-printing of his memories, of
course, has had it's primary and backup hyperdrives disabled by a
Federation saboteur, though otherwise it's fully operational. A
replacement Hyperdrive and escort vessels are expected to arrive in
nine hours. However, the disabling of the Indefetigable's hyperdrives
was part of a well prepared trap. A massive Federation fleet is baring
down upon the Indefetigable, intent on crushing the massive flagship of
the Empire's invasion force, and killing their commander and brilliant
strategist, in one swift stroke. The Federation fleet includes 5
Sovereign class Starships, four Prometheus class starships, Thirty
Galaxy class starships, forty Nebulas, ten Ambassadors, one hundred
Excelsiors, one hundred Mirandas, fifty Akiras, thirty New Orleans,
twenty Centaurs, 50 Steamrunners, 30 Norways, 30 Defiants, and 200
Peregrines. However, The Indefetigable isn't out there by it's self. In
it's holds, and fully combat capable, are 600 TIE Defenders, 96 Missile
boats, 72 armed shuttles, and 72 armed boarding transports.
Still, it isn't just numbers. The combat is taking place inside an odd
star system, consisting of three massive Blue-white supergiants, and
two Green large stars, all co-orbiting in a very complex system, doused
with radiation. Though no planets are capable of being formed, the
system is strewn with millions.. possibly billions.. of asteroids and
small planetoids, which combine to make sensor readings much less than
spectacular. So.. Will the Federation fleet be able to destroy the
Indefetigable before the escort and ships containing it's new
Hyperdrives arrive to drive them off, or will the Federation survivors
be fleeing an intact Indefetigable and a squadron of ISDs?




Cue Elim to come in and lose his fucking mind...
I remember before ICS when I thought that was a somewhat fair matchup...
Howedar is no longer here. Need to talk to him? Talk to Pick.
