I've been running into a lot of those. It is much better hearing these stories with some voice acting and actual feelings. Also sometimes net narrator will have out takes.
Or the author has a functional understanding of EW/ECM. The only weapons useful at range against a spacefaring military would be dependent on accurately guessing where your enemy would be with respect to travel time.
I liked that the antagonist understood that they were not enemies. They were noble without being super men. They lived their values. This story is something that I could see one of our militaries doing for another without being over the top schlock about it. Nicely done.
Right? We're living in "funny" times and I always say race is irrelevant, only culture matters. And these lizard peeps believe in protecting civilians (the defenseless or vulnerable in other words) lives as a matter of principle same as most of us. And shared principles are common ground everyone can build on. Regardless of background. Now how do I get off this soapbox? :)
Good story. I like how the alien captain gets his due. In most HFY stories the humans take the lead in everything. The fact that he got the top admiral slot says alot.
I had to look up what the dreadnought ship class was. They were ships that specialized in large caliber guns vs other ships that had a wider variety of guns. Who knew?
I am ashamed to admit I was trying to imagine a captain with a stereotypical British accent only to realize Mr. Narrator is stereotypically British... cough...
Great story! I thought the "rock like debris" was a nice Easter Egg. This channel always comes up with wonderfully narrated stories. Live long and prosper.
Excellent, excellent, Great loss for an exceedingly positive outcome. Sadness and Dignity. The writer should submit more and this channel is the best HFY out there. Thank you.
Quantity is a quality of it's own! You learn this in games like Helldivers 2. End of mission look at the stats. The higher kills usually have a thousand plus shots taken. Then you have those worrying about accuracy with maybe 300-400 shots and not even half the kills of the happy trigger puller.
Well narrator, I really like you. CIWS is an acronym for close in weapon system, or something like that. But most of the military guys pronounce it SEE-Wiz.
Finally a HMS designation and not the stereotypical USS American designations (in star trek USS doesn't mean United states, it means United systems ship so it's why I always use that for USS and human ships)
@@samsignorelli They have both mate. The enterprise is referred to as the U.S.S enterprise and just enterprise. However the U.S.S. stands for United space ship, I got that wrong. Its weird as they've used both designations
@@Valacar Not to mention that with some stories you can literally hear him trying not to chuckle, and with a few videos, he even gives out takes of him trying to pronounce things and yelling at himself for goofing up.
Dorsal and ventral seem to be the wrong words to use here? “Heavy dorsal armour” when I imagine it looks like a turtle. And when imagined that way, the position of the main guns look funny.
I don't think that 'only' is a suitable epithet for a George Cross, the most high of honours awarded to civilians in recognition of gallantry without the presence of an enemy, or 'acts of the greatest heroism or of the most conspicuous courage in circumstances of extreme danger.'
You can always depend on the british navy on sea in space thru time and in dimensions other we protect we save we serve ,fight to last and hold the lines
This is the most plausible description of a space battle i have heard. Too many people buy into that crap from atomic rockets without considering things like point defenses and damage control teams.
George Cross is the Highest Award that can be given to a Non-British Serviceman. It's not like the Yanks give out the Congressional Medal of Honor to Non-U.S. Citizen Servicemen.
Erm, why the George Cross? It almost seems to me the Author is unaware of the differences between the two awards.... Neither is subordinate to the other, both are awarded for Valour above and beyond the call of duty, the difference, is the George Cross is awarded for valour shown either by Civilians, or by military personnel when not in contact with the enemy, which is why so many GC's have been awarded to bomb disposal. The Victoria Cross however is awarded for the same valour IN CONTACT WITH THE ENEMY. Tsssas would not have been awarded the George Cross as the action was most definitely in contact with the enemy, he would have been awarded the Victoria Cross. And yes, the VC can and HAS been awarded to members of other nations militaries.... Usually to Commonwealth members true but I know of at least one to a serving member of the US military.
George Cross do get rewarded by military personnel outside the British common wealth. Victorian Cross is for the Commonwealth military personnel. Else, both would be awarded the Victorian Cross

12 mile range ? In a space battle ?
Sounds like the enemy's already within windshield-wiper range.
Spitting distance. Or a rounding error.

Rest easy, Dreadnought. Your sacrifice was not in vain. And may your sailors rest well in the afterlife.
Love stories about camaraderie and courage, especially between species. I like how Captain Tsass was shown to be brave and capable in his own right.
Lets make sure that history remembers the name, Dreadnought.

Picard Moment , for Sure
@@GeorgeOrwell-yz6zxum... lots of people!
The dreadnought class began an arms race between Britain, Germany, Japan and the US.

You did this fine story justice in your narration, well done!

Damn fine story. Not to find more like it instead of the usual fluff stories.
Good work as always on the narration and the voices.
Fantastic story, edge of my seat stuff!
Side note, I imagined Sir Pentious as Tsass. Seemed fitting.
Hahaha!!! Accuracy of firing through sheer volume, LOL!!!

Beautiful story beautiful
Well narrator, I really like you. CIWS is an acronym for close in weapon system, or something like that. But most of the military guys pronounce it SEE-Wiz.
Nvm, you got it. The first instance threw me.
Yep Ciws, or R2D2 with a boner. Also the C-ram if used on land.
Finally a HMS designation and not the stereotypical USS American designations (in star trek USS doesn't mean United states, it means United systems ship so it's why I always use that for USS and human ships)
No USS in Trek...it's NCC (Naval Construction Contact).
@@samsignorelli They have both mate.
The enterprise is referred to as the U.S.S enterprise and just enterprise.
However the U.S.S. stands for United space ship, I got that wrong.
Its weird as they've used both designations
@@Twist-The-Friendly-Hunter Oops...I was thinking of the hull registration number...my bad!
@@samsignorelli it's all good.
They use both USS and NCC so people are bound to get them mixed up.
Now that was a great story and narrated fantastically! Thank you.
such a nice story. also, i love the fact, that this channel isnt ai voiced, but by an actual human.
I agree 110%. AI always sounds... Off.
Plus he tries to do different voices for the characters. Definitely brings the stories more to life.

"Fear God and Dreadnought!"
Space equivalent of ordering arty on your own position. Good story and narration.
Actually really cool story, thanks for narrating it.
And in her final breaths, she cried "come get some!"
Dorsal and ventral seem to be the wrong words to use here?
“Heavy dorsal armour” when I imagine it looks like a turtle. And when imagined that way, the position of the main guns look funny.
It makes me think of U-556's pledge to help the Bismarck and it feels like a space version of that
THAT is a great story. Well done.
Great story well told. Thank you for reading to us.
Nothing unites like a common enemy.
I really really enjoyed that story. Thank you.
Thank you good story, and well narrated!😊❤
Thank you for the reading
And they shall dread not.
It is the dread not for their enemies will be the ones filled with dread.
Really liked this story ,thank you
I her wake she shall leave naught but dread
i dread her naught till she energy blast
Now this is the way a story should be told both in writing and using a human narrator.
Great story and a great story teller...thank you

With all the stories containing nuclear bombs, none of them seem to mention or describe the consequences of EMP on ships when they explode.
Maybe by the time of space warfare they would have shielded agenced emps
Fantastic!

Sucks that i can only give one like
