Have any of you space nations wanted to brag about where you live, but you don't really know what it looks like yourself? Ever wanted to be able to give very good directions, but you have no clue where anything is? Have you ever wanted to just describe it for a guy who's passing through, but you can't find the words? Well, now you can.

I, the Duke Klonor, will personally contact the Galactic Cartography Administration for you, and will return with a detailed report about your system, it's planets, and it's surroundings.

All I need is a few of the minor details, and you shall get many more in return.

So contact me, either post or by TG, and and I shall do the rest.


The Current Database

Alpha Minoris Beta:

Alpha Minoris Beta is a blue giant star. Tarsonis is an almost earth-like planet of comparable size and climate, the "moons" are really asteroids that got caught in the gravity, but they are rich in iron and such so we have several mining facilities on them, sorta penal colonies.

Aquarii (11.26ly from Sol):
50 million inhabitants. This systems is classified.

Argaia:

This sickly solar system revolves around a supergiant. There are ten planets, some of which are habitable. The best planet has uncountable moons. Its location quite near the center of a spiral galaxy, which is immersed in an interstellar war, is dangerous. This bustling system, known as Argaia, is legendary.

Barnards Star (6.0ly from Sol):
48 million inhabitants. Research system, many new ships contructed and designed here. Long range sensor nets. Ion defence platforms. Two fleets stationed at all times. No entry, even to allies.

BD Gliese 229 (8.8ly from Sol):
Advanced weapons testing grounds. Fleet training exercise grounds.
At least one battle group stationed here at all times. 20 million inhabitants stationed on various outer moons, using the geothermal activity for power.

Chellia:

Six massive planets orbit a binary supergiants. One of these planets is habitable by human standards, two of them are gas giants, and the other three are barren wastelands with various toxic gasses and materials. The inhabitable planet, farthest from the suns is called "Homeworld" by Blademasterians, has two moons, and countless orbital production facilities. The gas giants are inhabited by small floating colonies, and are unnamed, the three barren planets are simply called I, II, and III. They are completely uninhabited, and II is used as a weapons testing range.

Deneb:

This holy solar system revolves around a binary system of two stars, one of which revolves around the much bigger other. There are eleven planets, two of which are habitable. The smallest planet has three moons. Its location at the edge of a spiral galaxy, which is surprisingly far from the center of the universe, is propitious. This colonized system, widely known as Deneb, has planets with solid cores.

Epsilon Pegasi:

This deadly solar system revolves around a supergiant. There are a dozen planets, three of which are habitable. The smallest planet has five moons. Its location nearly outside of a barred spiral galaxy, which is immersed in an interstellar war, is unsafe. This high-tech system, widely known as Epsilon Pegasi, has an asteroid belt which separates the planets.

Gamma Draconis:

This loved solar system revolves around a red giant. There are eleven planets, two of which are habitable, one serving as a military base. The most wild planet has six moons. Its location at the edge of a spiral galaxy, which is surprisingly far from the center of the universe, is dangerous. This hostile system, universally known as Gamma Draconis, has a bad reputation among the civilized peoples of the galaxy.

Gamma Eridian
270ly from Sol

Gregor System:

Eight planets orbit a yellow star. The first four are "rocky", and the third planet is Vernii, and is the most habitable. Vernii is 97% of the Earth's mass, and has a single moon, not counting asteroids that have been moved into orbit. It's moon is officialy named "Alpha". Vernii is heavily fortified, with an orbital naval station, orbital fortress, and several civilian and military shipyards.

The fourth planet is named Endicott, and is barely habitable, with only a naval station based on it. There is a mineral rich asteroid belt between the fourth planet and the fifth. Planets five through eight are all gas giants.

Hanoli:

This garish solar system revolves around a collapsed star. There are eleven planets, half of which are habitable. The biggest planet has a dozen moons. Its location near the ever-changing center of a spiral galaxy, which is a center of commerce and trade, is harmful. This uninhabited system, widely known as Hanoli, is contracting slowly.

HPMS (7.5ly from Sol):
5 million inhabitants. Currently a traders depot, and a mining colony. Regular fleet movements tracked with another sensor net.

Kiosk:

This vibrant solar system revolves around a brown dwarf. There are eleven planets, two of which are habitable. The best planet has three moons. Its location in the middle of a spiral galaxy, which is in an unexplored area of the universe, is detrimental. This hostile system, galactically known as Kiosk, is legendary.

Midna Beta (14.5ly from Sol):
Current Capital/Homeworld. 546.5 million colonists.
31 Ion Orbital defence platforms around capital planet, Midania.
4 rocky planets, 6 gas giants. Huge mining operations within the interior solar system, as well as the outer moons. Three battlestations around the exterior of the system. Long range sensor nets track movements of craft over 20 lightyears away.

Midna Ceti (4.2ly from Sol):
30 million ihabitants. This system is classified.

Midna Solaris (11.3ly from Sol):
Ex-Capital/Homeworld.
Destroyed 2705 by a massive implosion caused by experimention with Gravatics.

Punjabia:

This wild solar system revolves around a red dwarf. There are ten planets, two of which are habitable. The most vibrant planet has uncountable moons. Its location quite near the center of a spiral galaxy, which is in an unexplored area of the universe, is harmful. This hostile system, secretly known as Punjaba, contains an Oort cloud.

Rakis:

This glittering solar system revolves around a collapsed star. There are six planets, two of which are habitable. The best planet has nine moons. Its location nearly outside of a spiral galaxy, which is immersed in an interstellar war, is beneficial. This warring system, secretly known as Rakis, is legendary.

Rana (29.5ly from Sol):
10 million inhabitants. Resource extraction operations center - waste from all surrounding systems is taken to be processed into raw materials.

Regulus:

This unique solar system revolves around a yellow dwarf. There are seven planets, one of which is habitable. The most gorgeous planet has five moons. Its location quite near the center of a spiral galaxy, which is in an unexplored area of the universe, is favorable. This inhabited system, known as Regulus, is stationed at an advantageous point in the galaxy.

Rhetalia Pleasure Planet:

It is apart of a six planet system including two habitable planets. the system also sports a twin superring gas giant (6th planet) that has the unique characteristic of changing optical frequency depending on the season. Famous for its space tours

Ross 154 (9.68ly from Sol):
90 million inhabitants. Huge sensor net, tracking movements over 100ly away. Commuications center, where millions of overlight radio transmissions are routed to their destinations. Extremely resource rich. Distant from our homeworld, therefore has slightly different cultures.

Ross 248 (10.32ly from Sol):
70 million inhabitants. This system is classified.

Ursae Majoris:

Home to the Chromestar Alliance, there's one planet about 3 times the size of Jupiter. Of the many moons, only Eurydice is inhabited.

Vorall
840 ly from Sol

Wolf 359 (7.8ly from Sol):
95.5 million inhabitants. Luxury holiday destination and mining system. Incredbily rich in resources. Currently home to 1 battlestation. 5 planets.

Zaraph System:

The system is 31.327 light years from Sol. It is surrounded by a very large and hard to navigate asteroid belt rich in most metal ores, presumably created by one or more planet collisions in the past. The center of the system is a blue star, so the planets orbiting it are fairly far away, except for a few closer in planets that are completely baked. The only inhabited planet, Zaraph,is a larger than earth planet that is msotly water and teeming with strange animal life. Two moons orbit this planet named Tartarus and Olympus. More habitable planets may exist, but the system has not been fully explored.

Ok cool, I posted the info on your Klonor Empire Star Systems post.


As A diplomatic offering, we send you a Helios Battlecruiser (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=46137&highlight=), to use as you see fit.

Nice, very nice, as for mine sorry the pic is down, its the Battlecruiser from starcraft with my own specs added.

Though that destroyer seems lightly armed in comparison, I am sure that it could put up a very good fight, if not destroy a helios depending on who is in command, after all its the man not the machine......

See, that's the secret.

Look at a modern battleship. How many guns does it have? Only 4 or 5. The thing is, those guns are massive. In Star Wars (and other sci-fi stuff) the ships are powerful because they have 50 or 100 guns. But say there's an accident, and you're left with one gun. Those guns are not powerful, and can't do much against another capital ship.

The Beam Cannons are the futuristic equivelants of those giant guns. They're designed to take out capital ships without the need for hundreds of them. It gives me an advantage in more than one way.

I say speed over firepower. Your damned Beam cannons cant hit my Attack Cruisers if they're going to fast. The various houses in my country have always agreed that speed works. This is just the ramblings of an old fashioned nation however. >_<
Klonor
30-08-2003, 11:21
Well, the beams move at the speed of light, how could they not hit your ships? Unless you found some way to move FTL in real space while engaging in combat.
The Eastern Bloc
30-08-2003, 11:28
Well, it all depends. If your targeting systems cannot keep up with the speed at which my vessel travels... then you wouldnt be able to hit it easily. That usually seems to be the case when I see laser fire miss. Its not that the laser is to slow, its that the targeting system or fire control operator cant keep up with the object. And unless your beam cannon can fire in a complete 3 dimensional sphere without turning the ship at all, my ship could stay out of the path of the beam lasers range. If your laser can somehow fire in any direction at any given time... then I have never seen that. Most huge beam cannons fire in a strait line. Just my observations.
Klonor
30-08-2003, 11:33
You do know that there's more than one Cannon on each ship, right? And there's also Laser Turrets and other guns. The Beam Cannons are designed as anti-capital ship weapons (with much smaller variations for anti-fighter guns and other stuff). I have seperate guns that are designed to shoot fighters, and other fast moving craft.

If you'll look back to my battleship anology a few posts ago, it still applies. I have the huge cannons designed to sink other battleships, smaller cannons for quick patrol boats and the like, and machine guns (or something else) to work against fighters and bombers.
The Eastern Bloc
30-08-2003, 11:38
That makes sense... I was just a little concerned that a nation as seemingly respected as yourself would consider a gigantic laser cannon capable of blowing up everything out of the water. I didnt think that was the case, and now I most certainly dont. I was just throwing another idea out, cause when you said something about you having the advantage in more than one way... I dont know. I just wanted to give another possible thing to consider when building a larger warship... speed.

Hope I didn't offend.
Klonor
30-08-2003, 11:44
No probelm (I'm seemingly respected! YAY!)

When I said I had the advantage in more than one way, I meant that people often thought my ships were under-armed, and that I don't need dozens of guns to make a dent. I didn't mean that my guns are super guns that can kill everything easily.

If you'd like to look at my ships (and maybe buy one?) you may visit my thread at http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=59081

Each ship is given a description of it's purpose, it's armaments, and different things about it.

Feel free to stop by
Klonor
30-08-2003, 11:46
Oh, I also do have fast capital ships. The Orion (what we're discussing) is our Heavy Destroyer. We also have cruisers, corvettes, Strike Cruisers, etc. (I try to keep my fleet varied)

(Actually, I got all my ships from the game FreeSpace. They thought up all the different ships)
The Eastern Bloc
30-08-2003, 11:47
We already have a very... plentiful supply of ships. We may however take some of your ideas into consideration for future ship designs.

Uber power... and speed!

I was wondering... what kind of propulsion do you use... and power source? I have a ship of almost the same class as your Orion... and it costs me over 300 billion to make.
Klonor
30-08-2003, 11:49
I'm an influence! Yay!

Now, getting back onto this threads main topic, would you like any of your systems mapped?

Galactic Alliance Exploration teams have discovered three new life-bearing systems. No native or visiting intelligence has been discovered in them, and they are up for colonization. Priority will go to GA members, but if no one is interested, non members may also apply.

*NOTE* The colonizing rights are for planets in the systems, not for the entire systems. There are more than three plots for sale.

First System:

This lush solar system revolves around a supergiant. There are five planets, four of which are habitable. The most alien planet has scores of moons. Its location quite near the center of a barred spiral galaxy, which is a center of commerce and trade, is unsafe. This low-tech system, galactically known as Ocatie Tchuekimuu, contains an Oort cloud.

Oort cloud: Somtaaw

Second System:

This expansive solar system revolves around a binary system of two stars which revolve around each other. There are five planets, three of which are habitable. The smallest planet has innumerable moons. Its location in the inner edges of a spiral galaxy, which is surprisingly close to the center of the universe, is favorable. This advanced system, widely known as Sooshuawuy'Qoitea, has planets with solid cores.

Second planet: Bobaria

Third System:

This advanced solar system revolves around a red giant. There are eleven planets, all of which are habitable. The best planet has six moons. Its location near the explosive center of a barred spiral galaxy, which is surprisingly close to the center of the universe, is advantageous. This advanced system, galactically known as Tau Etchoimnea, has planets with solid cores.

There is no money required to colonize one of these planets, bidding will only commence if two, or more, nations both claim the same planet.

FYI - Not a very environmental system, primarily mining, construction, etc. It's good for those cause it has a massive asteroid belt, and considering most asteroids are rich in iron (usually in the 90% range, sometimes 100%, but there's no such thing as a naturally pure substance, so it'd be like 99.9%)

Vernii is heavily fortified, with an orbital naval station, orbital fortress, and several civilian and military shipyards.

The fourth planet is named Endicott, and is barely habitable, with only a naval station based on it. There is a mineral rich asteroid belt between the fourth planet and the fifth. Planets five through eight are all gas giants.

We would like to update our entries.

We have claimed the following:

A nebula in unclaimed space, with a "hole" in space (not a wormhole or a black hole, read on.), that leads to an area detached from normal space, a place devoid of everything, except for a star, and four class M planets orbiting the star. The nebula, and the region whose entrance is inside it, have been claimed by The Federation of Science and Exploration. It is 78 Lightyears from Alpha Centauri A.


Another nebula, 30 lightyears from Alpha Centauri A

A previously uncharted and unclaimed system, 100 Lightyears from Alpha Centauri A

I suppose it can't hurt to give some descriptions of my more interesting explored systems:

37 Gem:

37 Gem is a G0V Yellow Dwarf Star with 3 planets- two terrestrial, and one gas giant. The first terrestrial planet is small, hot, and generally hostile to every known form of life. The second terrestrial planet, known as Labyrinth, is slightly larger than Earth, but has a low density and only 6.13 m/s^2 of gravity. It is habitable, but not for humans, due to high levels of carbon monoxide and ozone. The gas giant is approximately 2.3 Jovian Masses. A thin asteroid belt circles the system beyond the orbit of the gas giant. Orion Arm, visible from Earth.


Arcosa:

Arcosa is a set of binary T-tauri stars with three planets. One planet, similar to a triple-sized version of Europa, was once a Uranus-like subgiant, until it had most of its atmosphere stripped away by the solar wind. It is named Halcyon. A second planet is slightly larger than Earth, and is still cooling from its initial formation. Much of its surface is still molten, giving it the name Ronaír. It's atmosphere is similar to early Earth's, and it has one large moon, fully cooled but also with a life-friendly atmosphere, and one smaller moon. Both of these planets follow internal orbits around different stars in the binary pair. The third planet, named "Éntornaizet" (literally, "Freakin' Huge Giant"), is similar to Uranus, but far more massivem, approximately 2 Jovian Masses. In other respects, it is similar to Saturn. It follows an external orbit around the entire system, centered on the lagrange point between the two stars. Perseus Arm.

BDS-12409+7:

BDS-12409+7 is a B2Vm Blue Dwarf Star with two gas giant planets. A has two moons and harbors life on one of them, as well as within the habitable zone of its atmosphere. A's habitable zone gravity average 9.5 m/s^2 and pressure averages 1100 millibars. Unfortunately, extreme temperatures, poisonous atmospheres, and the lack of ground make A and its moons unsuited to humans. B is a larger gas giant. Saggitarius Arm.


BDS-1427+4:

BDS-1427+4 is a brown dwarf superplanet which forms a subsystem of RDS-1427+9. It has five regular moons (A-E). A is high in metal and a gas-torus sustained atmosphere of nitrogen, helium, argon, and xenon. B has a thick gas-torus sustained corroding reducing atmosphere, and is volcanically active. C is an ice world with an ozone atmosphere and a subsurface saltwater ocean. D has a thick gas-torus sustained reducing atmosphere of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, methane, water vapor, ammonia, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, argon, helium, neon, hydrogen chloride, and hydrogen fluoride. The hydrosphere is composed primarily of water, ethane and various hydrocarbons, and trace amounts of iodine, chlorine, sodium, and flourine. The lithosphere is composed of iron, oxygen, silicon, aluminium, and zirconium, and surface gravity is .62g. D may harbor life, and would be easy to terraform, but is currently inhospitable to humans. E is an ice world, covered in waxes and other hydrocarbons mixed with water ice. Norma Arm.

The Wolf System:

Is 200 light years from the Sol system. It has 5 planets in it. The first one, Wolf I, look like Mars but 3 times the size. The second one, Wolf Earth, look like Earth but is 4 times the size and has three moon. The third and fourth planets, Wolf III & Wolf X, looks like all the planet in the sol system together and both are about 2 times the of mars and has 2 moons. The last one, The Dark Planet, is all black and is 5 times the earth and 8 moons. The whole system has a belt around it.

hehe... remove my old system please, I no longer inhabit it.
