Other than that, you can write as freely as possible, but remember, only GW stories. My example post will be posted sometime tommorow and this thread will be transferred over to the new forum.

Cmdr. David "Raven" Svenson
October 3rd, 1949
ERNS Faroe C-01, 7 Miles Off Of Oceanus, TCC
Ravens Personal War

The Faroe, known as "good old roe" by its crew, was visiting the TCC to let the crew relax and the ship refueled. It was scheduled to leave the next day to New Colradia and join the 1st "Colonial" Fleet. Cmdr. David Svenson or Raven as he prefers to be called was on duty on the bridge so Capt. Maria Terrace could take a relax day while the Cmdr. watched over. Raven was your typical military officer, he loved his ship and its crew. However, the TCC was at war and the Faroe being there was risky, as the Karnetvorians would potentially confuse it for a Terminan ship, but Emerald had declared complete neutrality at the start of the war, so that was the last of Ravens worries, until fate decided otherwise.

"The Hell?"

Raven heard what sounded like heavy aircraft above him. He stepped out onto the bridge wing and saw multiple Karnetvorian Naval Bombers. "Can they not see the Emeraldian Flag???" He thought as he ran inside and sounded the general alarm as bomb struck the forward magazine, causing the bow to arch up as the ammo deep inside the ship violently exploded. Raven was thrown across the bridge as he watched the arch explode violently sheering the entire bow off the ship. Raven was in shock, but quickly composed himself.

"Get AA crews trained on those planes!"

"Sir, we're taking on water, and our AA crews aren't aboard!"

"Well, get somebody to man them! I want water-tight doors sealed immediately and all non-essential personnel evac'd now!"

Another explosion rocks the ship.

"Bomb hit aft! WTD's aren't closing and boilers are down. Guns 1-3 are down, as are secondaries. AA guns have been shaken to pieces, sir, what do we do?"

"Abandon Ship"

"Sir?"

"You Heard Me, we must evacu-"

Another ammo explosion splits the ship in two as the bridge deck is sheered off landing in the water where the #2 Gun would've been. Raven is washed away from the bridge, but the other bridge crew weren't so lucky, either being thrown off the bridge or being dragged under. Raven surfaces and sees the Faroe split in two sinking quickly, he sees that every lifeboat wasn't launched. Raven grabs onto a piece of the deck as he sees his ships final plunge. He is later rescued by TCC coast guard vessels, he is of only 5 who survived the sinking. He is sent back to Emerald to be transferred to a new ship as the Karnetvorian Rats apologize for the sinking, Raven, however would never forgive the Rats for sinking his beloved ship and killing his friends.
