The climactic showdown between the Kintark Empire and Terran Federation!

This chapter was a fun one to write, and I ended up 'storyboarding' it to make it easier to keep track of all the scenes. I really hope you like the end result.

P.S. I'll be making a few more minor editing tweaks over the next couple of days as I read it through from the start, and before I post it to the free sites. I'll update the text on this post when I update the downloaded version with the final one. I figured there was no point making you wait for that though.

 Why are you still reading? Go find out what happens to Buckingham's Fleet! :-) 

17th Jan update: I did a bit more editing, and have added the final version of Chapter 68 to this post. (Just a few minor tweaks here and there).

I found a general description at the end of chapter 20.  Note, he also said that most races have only one or two worlds so those would not have been mentioned in his overview.  The general overview was: To the immediate "North" along a small border are the Malari but no one knows what their territory looks like except for the trading stations on the borders. To the west was the Kintark and John said that they let him travel around freely.  He has even been in their home world. To the east is the Ashanath.  On one side of them are the tribes of the Drakkar . To the south are the Trankarans and Brimorians. I am not sure where Karron on was in relation to the map but on the other side of that was Kirrik space.

hi, really enjoyed the last installment, felt a bit sorry for amber as all the other colours had a first name like fluorescent and lurid but I suppose amber is its own first name.

I suspect that the task force to counter John must be all male because... We read that Gabriel has arranged for all the captain's under her to be female.  We read that she promised Sasaki to make her young again.  It is presumed that when interviewed these ladies will reveal why they turned traitor and how Gabriel changed.  That means for John that fact is out of the bag also.  They can't risk someone on the task force from becoming compromised.

While re-reading this chapter on SOL (it is easier on a phone) I had another thought.  How many fighter pilots or other crew are recovered.  Surely some of those that didn't explode ejected safely, right? Do the personnel in combat wear space suits?  If rather than exploding the ship just slowly died or broke apart there could be survivors if someone got to them in time. Will they assist with the recovery effort and end up with "spies onboard"?  What about the 600+ men already on board?

While on that topic what the hell will Terrans do with over 100 ships surrendered will they tractor beam them somewhere or try to crew them of course if they know how to operate them. There must be tens of thousands prisoners I imagine the logistics of either locking them in cells ( if they have so many cells ^^ ) or guarding them on their own ships will give terrans some headache not to mention possibility of mutiny with so many prisoners.

What an amazing read! Certainly the best battle scene so far, and a ballsy move by John to get the Federation firces to stop fighting amongst themselves. Love the ending!

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't replied to all these comments, but I promise I've read all of them. I've been busy writing chapter 69, and figured you'd prefer me spending my time doing that instead! A lot of the discussions on here were awesome, and you'll see me shamelessly borrow the discussion points in this chapter. ;-) Thanks a lot for your contribution to the story!

Arghh!!!! The suspense with waiting for the next update and/or chapter is killing me Tefler!!! Jokes hopefully your feeling better this week? I'm happy to wait just excited to find out the fallout of the battle and to see if the Invictus bed debriefing happens this chapter or the next lol. On another note if my memory serves me correctly this post has had the most comments ever including the ones on Lit. Congrats Tefler on your ever increasing ability to draw in and keep a loyal and often highly educated following. It truly show that this epic space opera is a once in a lifetime story. Also consider after this adventure has finished approaching some of the anime production houses in Japan (preferable the ones that did the final fantasy films) and see if they will be willing to produce this space opera and give it the proper realisation that it deserves without cutting anything out or changing the story like that has happened to other epic stories *cough* game of thrones and lord of the rings*cough lol

Great to hear that Chapter 69 is done, Tefler! Only one question. Why don't you post the announcements here, first? Not criticizing, just curious.

Hahahaha just had a thought, The admiralty gives him thor's hammer because they are afraid of the "AI" he took it over with
