What is the purpose of Forbidden Ops?

	_Forbidden Ops_ is a term in the universe for which I have 
created  too mean something that can not be done. Can not be done 
meaning it is forbidden, penalty of imprisonment or worse depending on 
what planet you current live on. Who does these forbidden things? A 
select group of  people who were chosen due to their knowledge, talent 
and various other reasons. The main group of people who investigate or 
do these deeds would be The Phantom Riders.
	_The Riders_ are a group of people selected to defend planets 
against evil. In the universe I've created there are Rider everywhere, 
some people just don't know or understand what they may be. A Rider 
simply defined is some one who takes up arms against something evil.
	In the Rider Universe there is one group of good guys and one 
bad. 
	The one group of good guys is lead by the Secoians. The bad is 
largely made up of a race called the Tendors.
	The Secoians have the Phantom Riders.
	The Tendors have the QRS = Queen's Royal Satyrs.
	Both groups are well matched against each other. Each group has a 
secret weapon of sorts with the Secoians it would be the Phantom 
Riders. With the Tendors a Tendorian Huntsman. All four of these groups 
put together are very dangerous, put against each other they are almost 
equally matched.
	Now there are some things both groups have found out about 
themselves as well as other things in the universe. Some things they 
don't want to get out into the public. The main goal of the Riders is 
to make sure the Tendorian Huntsmen don't infest the universe. The main 
goal of the QRS is unknown at the moment. The Secoians along with the 
Tendors are very tight lipped about things they find out. They like to 
bury things under so much garbage that no one could find it.
	That is where Forbidden Ops gets it's name. A few certain Riders 
have taken upon themselves to dig and find out what is hiding in the 
night. These are people who never get the credit, who risk their lives 
doing and are wanted dead by the governments of certain races.

	Quick History:

	The original Phantom Riders were assembled to defend Seco and the 
outlining planets from the Tendors and their Huntsmen. The Tendors are 
Huntsman are the same people. Any person can attain the rank of 
Huntsman, after a "turn around" they become this 7' shadow with glowing 
red eyes. Huntsman are very very hard to destroy. The Huntsman like to 
kill, the reason is unknown. What is known is that they are very smart, 
very powerful and can not be reasoned with. Why they attacked Seco is 
unknown. The Phantom Riders fought back against the Tendors and won the 
first round. At this point the select group of Phantom Riders begin to 
open their ranks to new people so they can grow. As they grow they get 
bigger and better stuff. They begin to police the universe. The 
skeletons in some peoples closet's begin to rattle as the Phantom 
Riders begin to colonize new worlds and such. The government soon 
begins to turn against their protectors as a war with the Tendors 
begins and escalates until a final showdown between the Phantom Riders 
and Tendor Main Fleet occurs. The Phantom Riders are winning, the Tendo
rs are retreating and then......
	Various reports come in to the news channels and governments that 
the Phoenix, the Phantom Rider's flag ship and the Tendor Main Fleet 
disappears.
	This event starts to put things into motion. Certain people on 
Seco, magic users, powerful magic users begin to see a prophecy form as 
all contact with the Tendors cease completely. The Phantom Riders 
disband and the Landos Commandos take over the reigns.

	A recall for certain Phantom Riders happens, people that they met 
over their long journeys who could be trusted. These people are the key 
to things to come and things already written in stone. Dead races will 
walk space once more while a powerful race sleeps and the sacred 
warriors train for the day of reawakening......

	(wow sounds like a movie promo! :)))

	We have two groups: The good and the bad.
	The good is Hitomi's Dragoons.
	The bad are the QRS. Who have re-appeared to continue their work. 
On what we don't known.
	What these people are dealing with is the past and the future all 
rolled into one. Since the reawakening doesn't happen for another 5,000 
years.
	At the moment: A person has been given something to take to 
Earth. That person is Sapphire, someone with a key to open a few doors. 
The remaining Tendors who have not cut off talks with Seco want her 
alive while the Seco government wants her dead. This really isn't her 
day.

	(whew)

	Now as for numbering the chapters and such:

	Originally I labeled Ops Prologue as Chapter 1. So it read 
something like Prologue Chapter 1. What I decided on was to label it 
Ops Prologue and make Chapter 2 into Chapter 1. I know this may give 
people some head aches, I know what I want to say but can't type it 
out. ;)

	Old Version	       =	New Version
	Prologue Chp.1     =	Prologue
	Chapter 2	       =	Chapter 1
	Chapter 3	       =	Chapter 2

	To repeat: The only thing that's changed is the chapter numbers 
and besides some of the new stuff I added to the story ;)
	I hope that helped, if not take two aspirins and call me in the 
morning.

	I hope that answered some questions, any comments or other stuff  
mail me. I've got access from home so I'll be here all the time.
