(OOC: This is an abridged history of everything that has happened in my country AE (After Exodus- from earth), and as events continue to happen, I will post them. I will also RP anything I design/build here to keep it in one place.)

Note: AE years are not equal to "Earth" years

10 AE-
Makaan system in the Andromeda galaxy discovered, Most of the personell that made the journey were brought down to the planet, some were left in space on a space station, made from colony ships, which would later be converted into a shipyard.
60 AE-
Plasma engine and power and weapon technology first sucessfully used in a ship, mass production of Alpha class Corvettes begins.
80 AE-
First sentient AI created, prototypes installed on destroyer class vessels.
200 AE-
Fully sentient AIs have been mass-produced, all controled by so-called Unit 0001. Unit 0001 succeeds at hostile takeover of Blademasters government, placing AIs in control of the populace
203 AE-
Human populace revolts, well over 300 million humans massacred by Unit 0001.
208 AE-
Unit 0005 placed in starship codename Drayus (The ultimate survivor, designed to last as a contingency ship)
230 AE-
Unit 0005 (aka Drayus) Launches full-scale war on AIs of Blademasters, sucessfully eradicating every last one
231 AE-
Drayus begins construction of "The Barrier" a massive sphere of FTL inhibitors and defensive weapons around Makaan system, also begins construction of massive spaceyards in solar orbit
300 AE-
Barrier, spacedocks completed
310 AE-
Blademasters begins construction of BWS Excalibur and begins to replace aging fleet
320 AE-
BWS Excalibur completed, fleet replaced as well

Today, the Armed Republic of Blademasters announced its intent to begin designing a monstrosity of a ship, estimated size will be about 200 kilometers long, as a project to flex our construction muscle. This project will be codenamed: Argive, and designed as a massive ship to annex nearby systems in the Andromeda Galaxy.

Well, Whoop-De-Doo! :D

(OOC: don't post here unless you have something relevant to post, with that in mind, yes it is a "whoop-dee doo", 200km is longer than any other ship I've seen... not to mention I'm just going to blow it up later ... like I do with everything else I build that is ourtrageously pontless)

As f yet, Blademasters is still working on desigining propulsion systems for the Argive project, the ship itself is in the final stages of design

(*Tries for the fifth time to post*)

I say, i'd like to send some of my engineers. To apprentice with your ship building crew, as a step to shed more light on our own ship building methods.

Sure, you can send some engineers, we can get around to that in the Kurai expedition thread. We have completed teh design of the Argive, but will be keeping it classified until long after the ship is launched. Our shipyards have begun laying down the framework for these ships, estimated time until completion is 30 years (30RL days) (OOC: I'm gonna have this pushed back for various reasons though...)

Do you still possess the technology to build AI,s if you desired to?

considering ~90% of our population consists of AIs, and an AI is still in charge, I'd say yes.

Would you be willing to sell/trade, and or give the Free Worlds League, AI technology as a message of good faith and freindship between our two empires?

sure. you can have our basic AI systems (comprable to about 4 HAL 9000s operating together intelligence-wise) for $14 Billion we'll give you the plans, and for another $1 billion, we'll throw in a prototype. At this time, we're not selling our more advanced AIs.

The blademasterian government would like to announce that the designs for the PDF Drive (a more advanced version of the Gravimetric drive) and the Shift Drive (a more advanced version of the Jump Drive) Both will be installed on our current ships, as well as the Argive.

The Argive will be 190,000 meters long, when completed, the largest ship (AFAIK) in the entirety of NS.
