following some recent discussions with neighboring nations, Dying Camels has come to the descion to attack klonor's colony fo Ross 128.
2 fleets, each with:
1 Destroy-class capitol ship
2 Annex-class Carrier:
5 Death-class Cruiser.
10 Doom-class Destroyer:
15 Annihilate-class Frigate:
20 MMU/MSU- (Mobile Medical Unit/Mobile Scientific Unit)
20 Quickmove-class transporter

we hope that this war can come to a quick and descisive victory.
((resurrected))((Klonor has agreed to this war))
-the camelhand

OOC: What, no reason? And what planet are they attacking?

Reason and place suggested on original thread.

OOC: So you're Destroy-class Capitol Ship is made of money? Because that is what capitol is...

"prepare a course. . "

"where to sir?"

"Klonor, we have unsettled buisness with them, prepare to link up with our allies in Dying Camels. Lets give them hell."

"Takian wargroup, you are not cleared for departure. . . repeat, Takia. . . " the space trafic controler was cut short as the Dreadnaught and her entorouage made the fold out of Takian controled space.

* * * * *

Takian news buletin

A Takian wargroup has begun wargames activity, if seen, please keep your distance from this group, and relay your coordiance to Takian Authorities so we may monitor that no part of this fleet moved too close to civilian territory.

So, Ross128? Works for me

IC:

"Sir, we have ships incoming!"

"Hold on a sec. I'm just getting the final reports in now. This station is now officially re-operational. Now, what did you want to say?"

"We have massive ships incoming! They are not responding to hails and are readying weapons. Attack is probable."

"Oh ****. Ready the fleet, let's give these guys a good reason to high-tail it out of the system"

EDIT: Sorry, thought this was just a clueless n00b... now that Taka's involved, we'll back down till Klonor asks for help.

OOC: You do know that this was my idea, right?

((OOC: W00t, I've got swagga ^-^))

The fleet burst from fold, regaining thier shape and form in the proximity of Ross 128. The fleet was large, the largest one ever borrowed by the Takian Civil Militia for the benifit of Robert McGinnly's hidden agendas. The massive force moved in on the defencive station, preparing to annihilate any opposition on thier way to free the general.

((OOC note 2: I know that the general is dead, they don't, aslo the fleet contains the following

1 Dreadnaught
3 Battleships
1 Supercarriers
2 Carriers
5 Battlecruisers
12 heavy cruisers
40 Light cruisers
150 Frigates
300 Destroyers

The S-S government has agreed to send battlefleets to meet the threat made by Klonor. He persents a threat to peace, and has denied us to may peace orgs. This is a SHOWDOWN

(OOC: Blademasters now selling antimatter torpedoes and missiles for use against Klonor! get them while they're hot! j/k
Anyway, what is witht he whole invade Klonor thing... I could make a killing off selling weapons around here... if you all didn't make your own ships like the smart space nations you all are. hey, anyone want support from me? I'll help whoever asks by TG first :P)

SS, I stopped being evil.

Taka, how can you have 300 Destroyers?

SS, I stopped being evil.


No you are evil.

How am I evil? What evil actions have I taken?

How am I evil? What evil actions have I taken?

n00b beating, and you denied me a membership to a org were peace had a chance.

WHat organization did I deny you membership to? The only organization where I was a leader was the GA, and I let everybody into that

OOC: I'd like to point out that I've seen DC's stats on his ships, and the larger ones are godmodded. The ones that carry roughly 6000 ships (2000 of which are dropships).

((OOC: our destroyers fall into the escort role, and are much smaller than most everyone else's destroyers, sorry for the confusion, ours are only about 300 m long.))

WHat organization did I deny you membership to? The only organization where I was a leader was the GA, and I let everybody into that

It was one you co-founded.

I still don't see how you'd have 300 of them

I haven't co-founded anything

OOC: I'd like to point out that I've seen DC's stats on his ships, and the larger ones are godmodded. The ones that carry roughly 6000 ships (2000 of which are dropships).
the ship that carries 6,000 is 7 KM/1 KM/1 KM.

g2g. my friend may rp for me

DC, I gotta go with Benderland on this one. 6000 ships wont fit on a 7 km ship (sorry)

OOC: Last time I saw the stats, it was about 1 km long, not 7. But still, 6000 ships, 2000 of which are dropships, that's pretty iffy. And, also, the fact that you're changing stats kind of discredits the legitimacy of your fleet.

FYI, I have a 7.35 km long capital ship, and it only fits 300 attack-class ships, and about 50 dropships.

Klonor: Link (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=71631&highlight=)

I've been constructing at full till since late september, thats how I have so many ships.

There's still the problem of supporting those ships, but I don't really care. Congrats on your large fleet!

Ther Harbinger Cannons in orbit around the in-system station rotate on their movement collar (new invention) so that all 20 are aimed at the invading fleet. With a soundless Bang! they unleash a volley at the lead attacking ships, restraining themselves from further attack until they see the damage caused.

Supporting any fleet is a bitch, hence why 91% of our fleet is in dry dock at any given time, cuttind down maintaninace costs, what we have up we can suport, granted this is really the largest I could hope to mobilize without an army of logistics behind them. Bob isn't concerned with a long war, he wants in and out, hopefully before Taka realizes one of its 11 dreadnaughts is missing. anywho, doing anything to hinder my approach, or do I get to move to firing range without any harrassment?

I've already posted. The combined might hurtling at your lead ship at .999999999 light speed equals 100 gigatons. Hope your lead ship likes it

What do i have to do with this?

I was wondering the same thing

At the Guanyan Navy HQ:

"Admiral, we have reports that Dying Camels and Taka made the first move against Klonor several hours ago."

"Several HOURS? Wasn't Johnson supposed to be monitoring that situation?"

"Yes sir, but it appears he fell asleep after getting completely drunk on some DR vodka."

"$%&*@! Have him shot, I won't tolerate that in my staff."

"Yes sir, that makes 12 this week."

"Damn hooligans. Anyway, send the Fifth Fleet under Vice-Admiral Rogan to defend Klonor from-say where is the attack anyway?"

"Ross-128 sir."

"Then send them to Ross-128. Keep the Seventh on standby. Notify Yeltsin of the situation."

"Aye, sir."

EDIT: The Fifth Fleet is comprised of the following ships, all but the first of which can be found on my storefront (search for GAT Storefront):

The GANS Haliburton (modified Annihilator, classification GH-WX 90a, has same fighter compliment, length, and speed but more weapons)
7 GH-WX 90 Annihilators (With full Fighter/Bomber compliment)
34 GH-WX 80 Scimitars(Ditto)
The 131st-148th Rapier II wings
The 74th-89th Death's Hand wings
And 9 Klonor Orions to bolster planetary defenses (The Orions will be under Klonor's RP control)

Leader of the Militia forces is one Robert McGinly, or Bob, as for the Harbingers. .. .


The lead ship, a noble and ancient battleship tried to avoid the incoming ordnance, its ID drivers straining to pull the bulk of the ship to the side, but it was not fast enough. The twenty warheads impacted into it, causing the fields to flash, flicker, fade, fall before the remaining Harbingers tore into its skin, pock marking its hull. It survived six, but the seventh, and each after it tore deep into it, blasting it into freefloating scrap. The rest of the ships watched with horror as the battleship was pounded relentlessly by the massive weapons, not even her overlaping shields or meters of heat reflective armor able to withstand so many blows.

The ordinace officer on the dreadnaught pipped up

"both Nova cannons are armed and ready, should we give them a taste of thier own medicine?"

"make it so, target the guns with both barrels, and ram a return shot home, order all other nova cannons to follow suit, and hit them with everything we've got. Prepare to gun the verners, I want an inner system jump to right behind those guns, then open up with the slicers, we'll see how well they work when cut in half. . ."

The dreadnaught crackled along the internal spine, the massive MAC cannon aiming its own fusion warheads at the defencive line. The magnetic accellerator coils sparked with the infusion of electricity, and a pair of high yeild anti-matter fusion warheads streaked towards the Klonorian guns, intent on destroying them from within. The other large ships took aim and fired as well, unleashing a hail of seve nova shells towards the line of guns, a total of nine massive warheads traveling at near light speed.

A Vzxlackian Scoutship dropped out of hyperspace near the beginning battle and activated its cloaking device. Recent reports had spread through the Empire of Vzxlack that Klonor had returned to all of its previous alliances and that extreme caution was to be held before making any moves.

The progress of the battle would be observed and recorded and then an envoy of ships sent for. So were the orders of the Exalted Hivelord.

Seedling Military Officials have activated their Capital Fleet and offer their support to Klonor and Gunya.

That has to be the third time this month you've mispelled my name...GUANYU.

Gunya sounds better :)

"Don't wanna pay? I'll gunya!"

OOC: So you're Destroy-class Capitol Ship is made of money? Because that is what capitol is...

Actually, that would be "capital". Capitol is the building I live in.

ooc: Finally, all you space brats destroy yourselvesin a full scale galactic war! I've been waiting for this...

To: Klonor
From: Free Bonstocknian High Command
Subject: We wish to help you, old friend

Dear sir,

Bonstock is ever greatfull for your help of our still fledgling spacewaffe. In this war, we will send to help you space task force one: RBSV Deflector,[i] the Imperial Star Destroyer, as well as the flak escorts you have given us. We have so far not used them for anything, and they have been dying to test out their big guns.

But a lot has changed in Bonstock since we spoke last. Recently, the government of our nation was overthrown by a communist revolution. Ever since, our government has been in exile in the Bonstocknian colony of Maropian Coast. We are building up land forces for an all out invasion of Bonstock proper, in order to liberate our motherland.

In this action, our small space fleet is worthless. We wont even try to use it to subdue the rebels. But we have one fear in the back of our minds, and that is that the rebels will capture the vessel, and use its many space fighters and AT-AT walkers against us. This would be devestating against us. Fortunatly, most Bonstocknians know nothing about RBSV [i]Deflector. The ship and its escorts are merely a silent guard, hovering somewhere near the moon, waiting for a day when it can actually fly in combat. We feel that in sending the craft to war, we will be preventing it from falling into enemy hands. The crews are prepared to help you for a long while in space.

We also wish to be more helpful then simply sending one capital ship. If you could arrange an effective package of ships for us to help you, it would be most appreciated. The force's commander, Rear Admiral Arthur Clark, has been appropriated a certain amout of money to help in this. We wish to help your war effort in anyway possible.

Thank you.

---End transmission---

Seedling's space fleet begins the journy to Klonor to defend their land. This fleet consists of:

2 Taiidan Space Carriers
5 GH-WX 90 Annihilators
72 GH-15 Stinger II
2 Arcadia class Stellar Installation Warship's
9 GH-WX 80 Scimitar
2 The Moroni-Class BattleCruiser
7 GH-RX 70 Fireheart's

2mil troops are being used on these ships. No infantry has been activated as of yet.

Wow. Is anybody else seeing Galactic War 1 here? We've got 10 nations in here so far, and there's been two shot fired. This thing is gonna grow.

Also, I'd like to refrain from posting more until Dying Camels gets back, since he's the person that I'm actually fighting.

OOC: I need to stay free from war for a few RL Days, due to Research with an on-going nation so I need to withdraw my ships until further notice. I will supply your land with 20,000 Infilitrator BattleArmours . Thats the best I can do for now.

On a more diplomatic level, I probably wasn't around when that happened.

I've fixed my stats to make you guys happy. anyway, multiply everything here by 2, because i'm sending 2 fleets

I will aid D.C. in this, as I've been very close allies with him forever, and seeing as I control the system that he resides in. I'm not sure what I plan on using yet, but that will be determined.

DC, you still need to post what your ships are doing

my ships are currently coming out of hyperspace 10,000 KM from Ross 128. they will take about 1 hour to arrive there and begin the attack. the men ready the ion cannons and fighters, which will work in tandem to black out Ross 128 while the dropships land

Um, this is a military base. There's nothing else in the system, and nothing on the planets. What are the dropships for?

the dropships will land men who will begin building a new set of docks and shipyards to be a staging ground for an attack on Klonor's homeworld.

My ships are nearing Ross 128, and will be in system shortly. I am manufacturing a new line of capital ships, which may be finished in time to bolster my forces already in this war.

The cloaked Vzxlackian Scoutship continued to monitor to progress of the battle. The ability of how well the Klonor held against the assault would determine how many ships they would send for to aid in defense of the system. There was no reason to waste resources needlessly.

~~~~~~~

OOC: Oh, in case anyone's wondering about the stats on the scoutship....

Vzxlackian Scoutship
Crew: 20
Length: 60 m
Defense: Armored hull
2 shield generators
1 cloaking device
Weapons: 3 plasma cannons
1 space mine ejector
Carry: 1 repair droid
Travel: 1 hyperspace drive
4 propulsion jets
Landable
Power: 1 fusion reactor

Oh, okay. I don't see why you'd be building this stuff here, but your choice.

Is this going to go anywhere, because it seems to have sort of fizzled...

OOC: Damn, I sure hope it goes somewhere.... Klonor, shoot at Taka again or something.

Somebody has to do something here. I've made the first shot, but nobody else has done anything (except Taka). We've got 20 participansts and nobody dead yet

OOC: Well Taka shot back trying to destroy your guns... react to that, something, anything to give me enough data to send for "backup." :twisted:

Actually, I'm having some problems with Taka's guns. They seem to pass through any shields and armor, and then detonate inside the ship or station. I'm just confused by that

Does it actually say "pass through, etc." in the description? If so I think we all know what that is...

Me and him had a very long AIM talk about this. I've forgotten the techno babble, but due to the composition of the warhead it blasts through shields and armor (any type) so that it's inside the ship/station when it blows up

Umm... I hate to break it to you but a blanket declaration of "it goes through anything" is godmodding and bad RP.

That's why I haven't responded yet

Might you be able to tell me this? Does the missile phase into another dimension to pass through the shielding?

Plus he didn't even post (that I am aware of) what type of warhead it IS...

It's a Nova warhead (like I said, long OOC discussion. He had some pretty impressive techno babble. it violated every law of physics that I can think of, but it looked scientific)

Might you be able to tell me this? Does the missile phase into another dimension to pass through the shielding?

No, it physically blasts through the armor and shielding. I can't remember very clearly, but I'm pretty sure anti-matter played a role

*nods* well I'm sure my NDF could take care of it. If it doesn't phase into another sort of dimension... then that would be a sort of Godmoding.

It's a Nova warhead (like I said, long OOC discussion. He had some pretty impressive techno babble. it violated every law of physics that I can think of, but it looked scientific)

Oh in that case, I'll allow it!

Note the sarcasm. :?

Hence why I haven't responded yet.

However, I don't like to go around yelling GODMOD, so I'm waiting for Taka to respond before any accusations.

Might you be able to tell me this? Does the missile phase into another dimension to pass through the shielding?

No, it physically blasts through the armor and shielding. I can't remember very clearly, but I'm pretty sure anti-matter played a role

If that were the case... the missile's size would be large enough that you could shoot it down. Antimatter cant be touching anything thats... matter, and so it must be kept in a vacuum of sorts... held in a sort of limbo... and that cant all be done in a small sized missile.

Might you be able to tell me this? Does the missile phase into another dimension to pass through the shielding?

No, it physically blasts through the armor and shielding. I can't remember very clearly, but I'm pretty sure anti-matter played a role

That's impossible. Triggering an antimatter explosion would detonate the warhead. Thus attempting to use antimatter to bust through the shields would simply cause the warhead to detonate on impact with shields or armor. Doing heavy damage if it was armor of course.

So, anybody going to make an IC post (this war is pretty much dead)

So, anybody going to make an IC post (this war is pretty much dead)

I would but there is nothing happening for me to get involved in.

Attack DC (who is sending dropships to one of the planets in the system)

Attack Taka

Attack anybody

Hell, attack me

Just do something

(The urgency of this should be noted)

((OOC: sorry I'm late, real life has waylaid me. . . alright, I'm going to try and explain the Nova Cannon Shells to the best of my ability. . . last time I explained it to Klonor I think I simply confused the hell out of him, so I'm going to do the best I can to keep it simple this time. . .

The nova cannon does NOT bypass armor, it is designed to hit with such force that it slams through armor and shielding, as well as detonating in such a fassion that it can do effectivly penetrate both shielding and armor. The shells work like an H bomb, that is, it fuses hydrogen together for the majority of its power. Unlike a fusion warhead however, its fusing material is made of antimatter. When the warhead is fired, it passes through the barrel of the gun, picking up speed through magnetic accelaration *that is, its fired from a rail gun* untill it approaches the speed of light. As it leaves the barrel the warhead is turned on, and a simple proximity detector is activated. when the warhead detects that it is about to impact, the containment field shrinks in size by increasing in power massivly, causing the antimatter begins to fuse. When matter fuses, it produces energy, ergo it can be assumed that when anti-matter theorecticaly fuses, it would produce a similar phenominon. . . albeit not energy so much as anti-energy, and judging by the relationship between matter and anti-matter *ie, the violent reaction that they form with the mass releace of energy* it should can be safely assumed that when anti-energy meets energy the opposite would become likewise true, a violent reaction that releaces matter. The shields thus become physical matter *at least in that one portion* about the same time that the remains of the anti-matter impact. As the shields have become matter, they lose most, if not all properties they would if they were energy, they can be ignored for the most part by the charge, wich then causes a matter/anti-matter reaction near the hull of the ship. That is how it gets through shields. . . now, to get through armor. After the anti-matter has reacted with the matter that was once the shields it begins to detonate with great force, while still for the most part traveling at great speed *let us assume it loses little velocity when impacting against the shields as for all we know, the energy/anti-energy reaction would create a gas or plasma, though most likely it would create a very thin layer of some mass at absolute zero, though that assumes a perfectly efficient reaction.* When the explosion impacts against the armor, it is traveling at great velocity, generaly enough to cut through armor with sheer force. Onve it has cut through the armor, the explosion continues through the ship hit, expanding behind it and using the shockwaves to both widen the point of impact and the point where it exits *on the other side of the ship* as well as opening the area it traveled through and causing the hull to expaned. .. generaly making it lose integrety and shattering the ship. I do hope this clears up any confusion, the warhead is relativly large *about the size of a large minivan* and travels at extreme speeds *about 4/5 the speed of light* and while it is impossible to intercept with conventional fighter craft *because of speed* most fast computer systems can target it with AA systems and throw enough flak into the air to cause it to detonate prematurly, though there is still the factor of a masivly poweful ordinacne going off near your ship *as the antimatter would eventualy react with the matter of the casing*. If you do not use shields, the anti-energy generaly is able to react with energy found in your ships hull, or simply ambient photons. *and unless you have a hull constructed of light absorbant matterials that is kept at absolute zero, there will be energy to react against, though the fussing mass can still react against the hull itself*. I appologise if I made it sound like the warhead phases through material to detonate inside the ship, That woudl be a godmod from hell, plain and simple, and I'm not some newbie who doesn't know better *I've roleplayed for 9 years, thank you, even revamped a LARP system, I know what balance is* and I appreciate Klonor giving me a chance to explain before shouts of Godmod, though I hardly see how that violates any law of physics. Assuming that anti-matter has the same properties as matter, then it strictly follows them. . . I've ranted long enough, and this thread seems to be digressing into an OOC war, rather than an IC war. . . I pray you can post damage now.))

The Holy Empire of Kythr will fully support the war with its help. :?

((OOC: which side, how many troops, and move forces somewhere.))

OOC: Erm, isn't Klonor 'back to normal'? Why is DC attacking him?

Because Klonor wanted a war, I belive the link is on the front page. The IC reason is that DC and the rouge Takian factions don't know the general is dead and are trying to replace him in power.

We have an IC reason? When did that happen? I thought it was just random violence

Everywar has an IC reason. . . this one just happens to be a "pulled it out of my ass at the last minute" reason, though random violence is always good.

The Star Empire of Thunderstraat has three battlegroups that just turned back from the Capsule Corporation after Saturday night's near-war. Many, many more are in production after we set up mass-production warship facilities. Right now we are producing a "Snark"-class battleship every NS day. I will join this war on the side of the anti-Klonor alliance. Fleets posted once I have the time.

Oh, and S-S is mad because Mindset kept him out of the ESUS.

Standard ITN battlegroup:
2 "Mundanstraat"-class flagships
10 "Snark"-class battleships
20 asteroid battlecruisers
25 long-range fighters
50 short-range interceptors
3 carriers
10 dropships (these are huge, see my OFF wargames)
more, edit later

Onboard the GANS Haliburton, General Smith commanding, en route to Ross 128:

"Sir, there is another fleet nearby, they seem to be heading for our destination."

"Are they with us, or are they enemy ships?"

"One moment, General...They appear to be Dying Camels ships."

"Send a message to the fleet. The third squad (8 Scimitars and 3 Annihilators) will remain here to deal with the enemy ships. The rest of the fleet will continue to the main battle location."

"Aye sir, relaying message now."

The third squad reverted to realspace nearly on top of the DC force. The ships immediately launched all fighters and maneuvered to open fire on the enemy.

(OOC: In case you haven't figured it out, this is Guanyu)

The new Bonstocknian Spacewaffe (A Klonor Ship package reinforced by an Imperial Star Destroyer) are now ready...

"All systems are condidered GO for a hyperspace jump to Klonor's main system."

"Roger. RBSV Volvgrad to RBSV Maropia, all systems are go."

"Roger Volvgad systems are go."

"RBSV Deflector to all ships in Task Force 14. This is a command. Initiate hyperspace jump."

"Roger, starting initiation."

The ships engines roared to life. Earth's moon was a backdrop to the scene as the ships started gliding, then dissapearing.

This was the first hyperspace jump for Bonstock. All of the crews were inexperianced. RBSV Deflector had a depleted crew, and most of the former crew of that ship were training new recruits. But there were not many recruits. Most were down on the ground, fighting another war. This was mostly a "training" process. They were to find new technologies for use after the war. Most didn't know about the war, actually. They operated in an induced state of "not knowing;" thier memories were temporarily destroyed, and when they were gone, all memories would be destroyed. That may be why all the crew were ex-convicts, or political enemies who disappeared from their Earth houses for life sentences. Many were former communists, leading life sentences. They thought Bonstock was a small, fledgling space nation, alone in the world, with no Earth base, and they had no recollection of their lives on Earth. Their families back home thought they were dead, and an assignment here might as well have been a death sentence. Only the most senior of officers knew anything abotu the "real" Bonstock. Only they knew of the revolution that had taken place. There could be a problem... if any of the crew knew of the revolution and of their past lives, they would automatically seek to help the revolutionaries. It was the task of these officers to keep the men in line, for all of Bonstock depended on it.

As the ships sailed through space, passing the stars streaking by, they sang songs about the small nation, of their inevitable victory in the help of Klonor. They flew on to the Klonor main system, some talking about the civilization they would find. Some were anxious as all soldiers were. But they had nothing to worry about, no families back home, no lives to worry about. They simply cared about "Bonstock," despite the vague definition of the word.

following some recent discussions with neighboring nations, Dying Camels has come to the descion to attack klonor's colony fo Ross 128.
2 fleets, each with:
1 Destroy-class capitol ship
2 Annex-class Carrier:
5 Death-class Cruiser.
10 Doom-class Destroyer:
15 Annihilate-class Frigate:
20 MMU/MSU- (Mobile Medical Unit/Mobile Scientific Unit)
20 Quickmove-class transporter

we hope that this war can come to a quick and descisive victory.

DC's a revived nation.

That's why he always posts the word "resurrected" at the bottom of his posts. But, it never seems to work, since there's always somebody saying how young he is

OOC: One, two, three.... CLEAR!! *ZAAAAAAPP!*

IC: The Vzxlackian Scoutship ruled that Klonor was facing extreme difficulties against the forces of Taka and its (slightly moderish) anti-matter weapons. It was decided that they would need the fully planned defense team. Sending out the signal across space, the message reached the waiting fleets near the galactic core.

The awaiting forces powered up their systems and entered hyperspace, paving their way towards the conflict in Ross 128. The approaching vessels consisted of 4 Dreadnoughts, 64 Battleships, and the addition of 300 Border Patrol Ships to aid in keeping the order after the conflict is won.

((OOC: w00tness, another fleet, and didn't I declare a state of hostile neutrality towards you already? Anywho, still waiting for Klonor to post damage and get a return volley off. And what do you mean by Moderish? I'll have you know those weapons are theoreticaly possible, give me some starships, a way to synthesize and contain anti-matter, and a two kilometer long railgun, and I'll prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt.))

The leader of the expadition looked over the reports, Thunderstraat had joined the rather impromptue alliance against Klonor, while some other small nation whose name he could not pronounce had gone against them, Things were getting interesting as it seemed every young space power in the galaxy had polorized in what was meant to only be a small raid. . . no matter, they had supplies enough to stay here as long as they needed, and if they could level Klonor in the proccess, so much the better. From the bridge of the second fleet's flagship, the Battleship Errant Warrior, Robert McGinnly watched the flashes of light on his HUD that indicated the battle going on before him. Yes, there would be hell to pay for this, but it was going ot be worth it, a powerful ally, and who knew what kind of resources they could exploit from Klonor once they had taken the capital systems. . . perhaps, just perhaps, that dream of taking the Takian throan was not out of his grasp afterall.

Hey Klonor..... if you want some help...

The Assington fleet is sitting around doing nothing.

((OOC: I think Klonor has enough suport for now, htough if you'd like to jump in on the invasion force you are welcome to. If you really want to support Klonor and we get a few more invaders in I'll TG you to let you know.))

((OOC: sorry I'm late, real life has waylaid me. . . alright, I'm going to try and explain the Nova Cannon Shells to the best of my ability. . . last time I explained it to Klonor I think I simply confused the hell out of him, so I'm going to do the best I can to keep it simple this time. . .

The nova cannon does NOT bypass armor, it is designed to hit with such force that it slams through armor and shielding, as well as detonating in such a fassion that it can do effectivly penetrate both shielding and armor. The shells work like an H bomb, that is, it fuses hydrogen together for the majority of its power. Unlike a fusion warhead however, its fusing material is made of antimatter. When the warhead is fired, it passes through the barrel of the gun, picking up speed through magnetic accelaration *that is, its fired from a rail gun* untill it approaches the speed of light. As it leaves the barrel the warhead is turned on, and a simple proximity detector is activated. when the warhead detects that it is about to impact, the containment field shrinks in size by increasing in power massivly, causing the antimatter begins to fuse. When matter fuses, it produces energy, ergo it can be assumed that when anti-matter theorecticaly fuses, it would produce a similar phenominon. . . albeit not energy so much as anti-energy, and judging by the relationship between matter and anti-matter *ie, the violent reaction that they form with the mass releace of energy* it should can be safely assumed that when anti-energy meets energy the opposite would become likewise true, a violent reaction that releaces matter. The shields thus become physical matter *at least in that one portion* about the same time that the remains of the anti-matter impact. As the shields have become matter, they lose most, if not all properties they would if they were energy, they can be ignored for the most part by the charge, wich then causes a matter/anti-matter reaction near the hull of the ship. That is how it gets through shields. . . now, to get through armor. After the anti-matter has reacted with the matter that was once the shields it begins to detonate with great force, while still for the most part traveling at great speed *let us assume it loses little velocity when impacting against the shields as for all we know, the energy/anti-energy reaction would create a gas or plasma, though most likely it would create a very thin layer of some mass at absolute zero, though that assumes a perfectly efficient reaction.* When the explosion impacts against the armor, it is traveling at great velocity, generaly enough to cut through armor with sheer force. Onve it has cut through the armor, the explosion continues through the ship hit, expanding behind it and using the shockwaves to both widen the point of impact and the point where it exits *on the other side of the ship* as well as opening the area it traveled through and causing the hull to expaned. .. generaly making it lose integrety and shattering the ship. I do hope this clears up any confusion, the warhead is relativly large *about the size of a large minivan* and travels at extreme speeds *about 4/5 the speed of light* and while it is impossible to intercept with conventional fighter craft *because of speed* most fast computer systems can target it with AA systems and throw enough flak into the air to cause it to detonate prematurly, though there is still the factor of a masivly poweful ordinacne going off near your ship *as the antimatter would eventualy react with the matter of the casing*. If you do not use shields, the anti-energy generaly is able to react with energy found in your ships hull, or simply ambient photons. *and unless you have a hull constructed of light absorbant matterials that is kept at absolute zero, there will be energy to react against, though the fussing mass can still react against the hull itself*. I appologise if I made it sound like the warhead phases through material to detonate inside the ship, That woudl be a godmod from hell, plain and simple, and I'm not some newbie who doesn't know better *I've roleplayed for 9 years, thank you, even revamped a LARP system, I know what balance is* and I appreciate Klonor giving me a chance to explain before shouts of Godmod, though I hardly see how that violates any law of physics. Assuming that anti-matter has the same properties as matter, then it strictly follows them. . . I've ranted long enough, and this thread seems to be digressing into an OOC war, rather than an IC war. . . I pray you can post damage now.))

I assume that you expect everyone will be so confued by this techno-babble that they will just allow you to get away with it. WRONG. This is not only impossible, the entire premise is incorrect. Anti-matter does NOT have the same properties as matter.

Vzxlack, there is no conceivable way you have a 20 KILOMETER warship in space...I sincerely hope that was a typo, and that the fighter compliment was also.

care to show me proof of that? last I had heard, anti-matter was simply a different combination of quarks in the atom that caused it to react violently with the nucleus of the the matter atom. I appologise if my explaination was a bit too. . . advanced, for you, I had no intention of scaring people away with it, belive you me, if I wanted to write something incomprehensable, I would have. now, put up your proof that anti-matter can not fuse, or remove yourself from the vincinty of my back before I lose my temper.

There is no intrinsic difference between particles and antiparticles; they appear on essentially the same footing in all particle theories. This means that the laws of physics for antiparticles are almost identical to those for particles; any difference is a tiny effect. But there certainly is a dramatic difference in the numbers of these objects we find in the world around us; all the world is made of matter. Any antimatter we produce in the laboratory soon disappears because it meets up with matching matter particles and annihilates.

Scientific American Article, 'what is Anti-Matter' (http://www.sciam.com/askexpert_question.cfm?articleID=000848AB-9450-1CD1-B4A8809EC588EEDF)

Taka, hat you said for the Nova cannon makes no sense. You're assuming stuff that doesn't even have the slightest evidence. I'm sorry, but those things are just impossible

granted its largely based on conjecture, however it is theoreticaly sound *and if you want more sources, by god you'll get sources* and IS based off of solid physical evidence.

In have an excellent rebuttle to your link.

Who says that web-site is right?

Produce evidence against it and the possibility that my sources are biased will be taken into further consideration. However, Scientific American is a legitimate and accepted publication for science FACT, not flights of fantacy.

Sorry if I sounded a bit rabid, but my main questions are this:

How do you keep the warhead from detonating when it touches the hull of another ship? Wouldn't the entire warhead be destroyed in the reaction against the shield? If so, how does the explosion get past the hull? (Other than the impact from the explosion.)

All of this seems very theoretical (I understand that much NS space tech is), do you have foundations for your premises other than the assumption that anti-matter functions as normal matter? (EDIT: This was written before you posted that link.)

Did I ever tell you about my friends Greek web-page?

In case i didn't, I'll explain it here.

A friend of mine made a web-site (as a joke) that claimed to be historicle fact about Greek civilization. It was way off in everything. it claimed that the Greek golden age was somewhere around 900 A.D., all Athenians sacrificed their first born, men often cannibalised their wives right after the wedding, and other such idiotic stuff.

The web-site looked official, and even had scientific sounding sources (none existed).

Imagine our surpise when a week later the New York Times publsished an aritcle about Greece, and my friends web-site was used as a reference! they said all the wrong facts that he'd posted, and supported it by saying "These facts have been proven by XXXXXXXXXX" (those would be the fake sources he'd listed).

Don't trust what you find on-line

Guanyu, sorry that I snapped at you, just getting extremly frustrated people aren't understand what should be a relativly simple pheomenon.

The antimatter is contained in a powerful magnetic field inside a vacume in the warhead, being that it doesn't take much fusing matter, and the warhead is about as big around as a large minivan, it has enoug hroom for all the instrments, electromagnets, and a powerful battery to both run the magnetic field, trigering mechanism and a way to increase the containment field to squish the antimatter down to roughly the size of a walnut, thus causing fision. Triddum is sprayed ont the fissioning mass, causing the helium to fuse . . its basicly an enlarged H bomb with anti-matter raher than matter.

The warhead detonates shortly before it hits the hull of the ship, the warhead is simply a delivery system, its not built to penetrate teh hull, it is the energy/anti-matter that hits moving at a near relativistic speed.
the exlosion penetrates the hull as a result of a massive amount of energy put into the point of impact, a much smaller and more pinpoint area than a normal explosion would cause. Other than the massive ammounts of energy hitting the hull *remember, this is a near perfect transferal of mass to energy, a lot is created from a small amount of matter, or both mater and anti-matter in this case.*

Finaly, this is all theoretical, however so are all of the FTL drives, starships in general, ortilary platforms, railguns, and Klonor's 5 GT railnukes, and no one is bitching about them. I'm honestly a little upset that I come up with something creative, something logically based and theoreticaly sound, and am having people jump down my throat for it. The foundations of this are a single, proven premise, and logical conjecture from there out. Everyone else's stuff in a far future setting is built the same way, however, because I didn't rip something from a movie or a game, I am the bad guy?

Klonor, disprove me, go for it. You are trying to discredit Scientific American, a benchmark for disseminating scientific knowlege to the world at large? would you like me to pull the NASA papers on it? or will you simply attempt to discredit them as well? Show me one source, ONE from a credible group, that disproves me. Scientific American is not some kid's idea of a prank, its a respected source of information, and if you want to go toe to toe with me in debate, you would be well advised to bring ammunition, not paltry and halfasses attacks on invioble sources. *edited with those NASA papers for you*

**EDIT**

Interestingly, there is no real difference between particles and antiparticles in particle physics theories. They are equivalent. Most theoreticians believe that at the time of the Big Bang antiparticles and particles were created in almost equal numbers. But why, then, is antimatter so rare today?

NASA.gov website, article on antimatter 'Whats the matter with Antimatter' (http://science.msfc.nasa.gov/headlines/y2000/ast29may_1m.htm)

Okay, so what you are describing is not a warhead that penetrates hull and explodes from inside, but rather a focused explosion that ruptures the hull? If that is so, then I have no problem with it.

I must agree with Taka. His explination alone, whether its proven fact, theory, or just plain stupid, warrants that he be given a little credit. Rather than come up with a run of the mill piece of technology, he takes a bit of a twist and comes up with something truely original. I find everything he says to be explained out enough to me. There's no way you could disprove anything he's said, just like there's no way Taka can prove what he has said.

Just take it for what it is, an innovative piece of technology. Now that you've done that, you need to find a way to counteract it. Kind of like what I did for "Phasing" missiles and ships. I created a dampening field that prohibits the use of phasing technology within 5000 km of any given capital ship used by the republic. So instead of disproving the abality to "phase," I merely came up with a reasonable way to counteract it. I must admit the "NonSpace Dampening Field" has some issues of its own... but if it didn't, it would be a godmod.

Basically... just come up with a way to make it around those missiles.

My new RX line of ships already have preventative technology for this type of explosion, but none of them are involved in the war at this time.

Basicly, I've tried to explain this to Klonor for the past few days but just doesn't get that. Granted I could have used more concise language as it doesn't bypass the hull of the ship so much as it just hits so hard that the hull is generaly breached.

THAT is what I had an issue with. Thanks for clearing it up.

No problem Ganyu, and it really isn't that hard to counteract this kind of a threat, simply something that requires you to be creative about it. Foreveryhting there is a counter, and a counter to the counter, and so on and so forth.

The Kharra's gorges are hurling their spawn towards taka's ships now. Feeling that taka and DC's hostilities are getting too close to home, and taka and dc are messing with a long time ally we must take action.

When the spores (roughly the size of a moniter, travling 60k km/h) hit the hull, they pass through the hull and stop wherever the are in the ship. They then explode open in a violent mess of organic matter, coating everything with an organic substance. this substance soon forms a mat, and a flower forms. This flower soon turns into a hive. From this hive spawn the basic life form, a skulk.

http://www.natural-selection.org/images/lev1-a_8x6.jpg


They slowly gain hormones from the hive, but if they ingest anything, they absorb the hormones of that creature. They can then evolve new abilities, and evolve into higher life forms.

:twisted:

http://www.natural-selection.org/images/post-2-89351-level_4_page_2.jpg


There are more life forms...and i have offense chambers, sensory and movement chambers. Gorges can spawn new hives.

Waiting for taka to declare results of barrage.

(Note: about 2,000,000 spores were launched at you. 80,000 came from earth. 100,000 came from Klonors colony, 820,000 came from Nadrid, less than 900,000 miles from klonors colony. You are getting to close to home, Taka)

DC, Taka, and Klonor, I call for a consensus to issue a cooperative ignore to Kharra.

Why? I've been a long time ally of Klonor, I helped found the GA.

Good times, eh klonor.


And is it because im an alien race? can you not deal with alien races?

....I think anyone who has seen your posts on this and other threads should understand why I am doing this.

All my posts have been related to the tendancies of my species, and great RPs I spend hours typing out great stories and i get shit. Now i try and RP with you guys, and im casted out without even godmoding or anything. Explain to me why i cant be in it.

You just jump out of nowhere and say that you're taking over Taka's ship(s), and the entire post makes almost no sense.

I didnt say that, i said my gorges are hurling their spores at them. Then i procceeded to explain what the seeds did. I'm waiting for taka to reply what happened.


Do not think i am a n00b, ive been coming here longer than you have. So please dont think im new at this.

I'm perfectly willing to wait for Taka and Klonor's opinions. And by the way, being around for a long time does not neccessarily mean you can't be a n00b. N00b is a mindset, not an age group.

I've been here for awile, i know the ropes.


But please, dont be ignorant. Explain why i cant be here.

Ignorant...oooookaaaay. Anyway, I personally dislike your style of RPing. If the others on this thread decide to allow you into the war, I'm fine with that. Keeping in mind of course that the nation you are using has 12 million population.

When the spores (roughly the size of a moniter, travling 60k km/h) hit the hull, they pass through the hull and stop wherever the are in the ship.

You cannot claim it 'went through the hull', only Taka can declare losses. You cannot control what happens to his ship, you can only say what you are doing to his ship. There is a major difference.

They slowly gain hormones from the hive, but if they ingest anything, they absorb the hormones of that creature. They can then evolve new abilities, and evolve into higher life forms.

IMHO, this sounds too 'anime' for me. I don't have anything against Anime, in fact i'm a big fan - its just I don't believe anythying in it is realistic.

(Note: about 2,000,000 spores were launched at you. 80,000 came from earth. 100,000 came from Klonors colony, 820,000 came from Nadrid, less than 900,000 miles from klonors colony. You are getting to close to home, Taka)

Hmm... has Klonor ever claimed to have spore laucher thingies on his systems? Besides.... travelling at 60,000 km/h from a colony 900,000 miles (1,448,409.6 kilometers) would take approx. 1.1 days to reach Taka's ships.... Plenty of time for them to move out the way.

First off Kharra, you would have to penetrate the Takian AS's anti aircraft fire, secondly, you would have to get past the HEPD fields, which are designed to stop meteor impacts, and would easily be able to vaporize your spores, third matter, how do you intend to get through not one, not two, but three hulls, the first a tungstun ceramite to disperce heat, the second a neotitanium layer to shunt off balistic impacts and resist corrosion, the third a titianium polymer blend to absorb impacts and be extremely flexable, though go back to true rapidly, not to mention that the entire hull is several meters thick, and that once you breached it you would have the depressurization pushing your spore out, not in, as well as a very hostile internal defence system that would not lose any sleep over popping boarding hostiles.

What the hell's happened to Klonor?

Okay, Taka, I didn't say that that site was wrong. I never even looked at it. What I was trying to say was that I'd prefer something more concrete, since there is no way of telling whether or not an internet web-site is correct or just some cock and bull story that a kid made up in his spare time.

Also, on our AIM onversation, you said that it passed through the armor and detonated inside the ship. You actually said that it "passed through". You did not say that it blew up the armor and kept going, you said it went through the armor. How can I understand whether or not your theory is correct if I'm thinking it does something totally different?

Since I now know that it does not phase through all defences (like was insinuated in the aforementioned conversation) I shall accept it and move on.

I'll post damage in a little while, I'm still at school and don't have access to my home computer, where I have all me defences and stuff listed.

I did not declare loses for taka. I stated what my spores do. Therefore, if he declares that any got through, that is what would happen. I realise that it would take awile for the spores to get there, but even so some would get close. Close enough for defenses to take most to even all of them out. Then we keep trying. This isnt cheap, and i havent declared anyones losses. im just explaining my race so its not like


I HAVE SPIKE ATTACK, SO I JUST SPIKED YOUR SHIP.

Its more like:

I have spike attack. Preassure in glands behind the spikes burst causing the spikes to fly out at high speeds and impale soft targets, and some armor.

(example^)


Like i said, im just waiting for taka to state any losses, if any :)

Its like klonors harbinger attack, he fired and waited for the casualties. They can be shot down, miss, etc etc. Just like me, except i have spores.

Those spores should be arriving in a few RL minutes...(like 10)

do your spores have any way to avoid AA fire, some way past HEPD fields other than mass numbers, and how do they get inside the ship, answer me that and I'll post loses if any.

SS, I stopped being evil.


No you are evil.umm(i am neutral in this war) if anyone is evil it's YOU! besides, you falsely accused klonor of denying you access to an alliance.( how dumb :roll: )

OOC: 5 pages, 5 frikin' pages :x response to Guanyu
IC: DC ships detected something on sensors. "SHIT! LAUNCH ALL FIGHTERS, I REPEAT, ALL FIGHTERS" 300 fighters launched. then Ion and power cannons opened up, hoping to get some hits on cap ships. all AA lasers opened up, AI targeting systems firing to perfectly evade thier own ships.
losses:
3 destroyers, 6 MMU, 9 transports, 5 Ion frigate

OOC:if i don't get more allies, i'm gonna retreat so Klonor can launch an attack on me.

OOC: More allies? Pracitcally everyone who has joined is with you

Taka, I can't find the actual post where you attacked, but if I remember correctly it's 9 Novas

IC:

7 of the Nove bombs strike home, blasting through the armor on the Harbinger Cannons and slicing a path straight through it's gut. Detonating inside, the cannons begin to slide on the rotatory cuff, their control crews either dead or the motivators to damaged to stop the rotation.

The two bombs that missed merely float off into space, causing no damage to anything (I just wanted to through that in, since you just cost me 7 trillion dollars)

The remaining 11 Harbinger Cannons, seeing the damage done to their mates, start firing full speed. (1 shot every 4 seconds per Cannon. 11 Cannons. That makes it a total of 165 Harbingers per minute. 5 gigatons per warhead. I'm thinking payback!)

(OOC: Klonor, does that imply you want help? I will help you if you don't mind)

"Sir, we've taken out some of the enemy ships, but they are returning fire on the fleet. The 3rd battle group is taking the brunt of the fire. They report 1....no, make that 2 Scimitars and several fighters destroyed, as well as another Scimitar mostly disabled and 1 Annihilator damaged."

"All right, now they know we're here. God, I HATE slugging matches. Fire a full spread of Shatterstars from groups four and six at the closest groupings of DC ships."

Launching from the Guanyan fleet, two hundred and sixty Shatterstar missiles streak out, 65 each at the most compact groupings of enemy vessels. As the first missile reaches the enemy, it explodes into the starburst flash that gives the missile its name. Each additional missile increases the size and power of the explosion, creating huge star-shaped blasts that strike violently at nearby ships.

The three nearly-obsolete ((We advance FAST)) ITN battlegroups that had been allocated for the Capsule Corporation war arrived at Dying Camels' home planet. ((I can do that, can't I?)) They were there mainly for defense, until the alliance leader gave them something to do.

beat the sh*t out of Klonor at ross 128. i've got enough system defense between me and my system allies to take care of about 150 Destroy-class capital ships.

losses from Guanyu's missles: 3 cruisers damaged, 5 destroyers hurt, and 1 cruiser damaged beyond all repair, with a hull breach in 2 sectors. an MMU shows up to gather survivors and treat them. please do not shoot it, as it has been de-armed most missle shot down by AA lasers and fighters.
suddenly, 15 MAC (magnetic Accelerator cannon) frigates drop out of hyperspace and begin to fire rounds from 3-at a time cannons. with 4 per ship, at a rate of 1 per 2 seconds, that comes to 5,400 200lb. balls of lead per minute, hurtling at the Guanyu fleet in speeds over 2,500 KPH.

"Sir, we're coming out of the hyperspace jump."

The crew was then treated to the sight of Klonor's main system, with space stations and fleets everywhere...

"Send a message to Klonor."

"Roger."

---Transmission To Klonor---

"We are your Bonstocknian allies. We're awaiting orders. Tell us where to find the war."

---End---

Four Annihilators, twenty-six Scimitars, and nine Orions reverted to realspace in the Ross 128 system just in time to see the nova cannons hit.

Transmission from the Haliburton:

"Klonor forces, this is General Graham Smith of the GANS Haliburton. Heard you could use a little help, and it looks like we're just in time for the party. Brought you a few presents too, 9 Orions to be transferred to your command. You gonna invite us in or are we not wanted?" (OOC: General Smith has a very dry sense of humor.)

((OK, will everybody STOP equating nation size with power. The US has half the population of India. Ever noticed that? Huh? And I only sent my fleets to DC because he didn't tell me what to do with them. And I have maybe 600 million people in my puppets. I'm an imperialist empire, you know.))
*Orders to DC Battlegroups*
Commanders:
There has been a massive revolt at Fleet Headquarters. We need all the military we can get. Return home at full speed.
((withdrawing in disgust))

I have over 4 billion in my puppets, but since no one said puppet forces can be used in this war I assumed they can't. If Klonor or DC tells me otherwise, fine.

DC: Are you sure you want to do that? I suggest revising the post because my GAT Point Defense Webs will prevent most of the damage from that type of attack. See add-ons and accesories at the top of my storefront for a description of them. If you keep the post the way it is I will sustain only minimal damage. The storefront thread is here:

((OK, will everybody STOP equating nation size with power. The US has half the population of India. Ever noticed that? Huh? And I only sent my fleets to DC because he didn't tell me what to do with them. And I have maybe 600 million people in my puppets. I'm an imperialist empire, you know.))
*Orders to DC Battlegroups*
Commanders:
There has been a massive revolt at Fleet Headquarters. We need all the military we can get. Return home at full speed.
((withdrawing in disgust))

Thats how things are done here on NS, like it or not. The bigger you are... the more you can have, its that simple. It may be stupid... or whatever, but thats how it is.

And puppets dont count if you control them. Thats a big mistake if you use the puppet arguement to justify your fleet numbers and whatnot.

the fleet continues on it's way to the ross 128 system. just within range of ion and Magnetic Accelerator cannons, it stops.
OOC:prepare for a pounding. :twisted:
IC:the MAC's and Ion cannons fire for 2 full minutes. all units sit in space. meanwhile, back at the site of the Guanyu-DC initial battle, an MMU, a damaged cruiser, and a destroyer for defense, sit in space, waiting for tugs to come...(feel free to attack it, but if you touch that fricking medical frigate, you will be an enemy of the Desert forever. :evil: )

I don't attack medical or any other unarmed ships.

good. the government of DC would like to say
"even though he's fighting us, Guanyu isn't so bad after all. now declare your damn losses from the MAC attack!"
-the camelhand
OOC: :D

OOC: Don't say I didn't warn you...

IC:
"Sir...we're getting several hundred contact....no, several THOUSAND contacts inbound."

"What?! What kind of contacts?"

"That's the good news, sir. Projectiles."

"Ha! They're using PROJECTILE weapons on GAT ships? We'll wait it out."

The barrage strikes the PDWs of the unconcerned Guanyan officers' ships. In the entire fleet, only seven get through, and even those only because of a malfunction in one area of the PDW of one Scimitar.

"We'll lay off the missiles for a while. Full fleet barrage of all non-missile weapons. Focus fire on the largest and most powerful enemy ships."

do your spores have any way to avoid AA fire, some way past HEPD fields other than mass numbers, and how do they get inside the ship, answer me that and I'll post loses if any.

Like do they have some sort of intelligence?

No.

They fly really fast in a strait line towards your ships. WOW AMAZING LOOK AT MAH UBER TECH :D

They are mostly composed of corrosive outter liquid. The insides have nutrients, mostly protiens to support the life of the hive if its born, and then some organic goo that forms the mat. Its got an extremly hard outer layer.


They arent good, but my gorges can spit 3 every 15 seconds for a minute, then they have to wait 2 minutes for their adrenale glands to make more adrenaline. A spore is rougly the size of a 17'' moniter (old style) with a trail (like a comet) of particles from the gorge and spore.


When the spore hits, the ship isnt destroyed though. The means of destroying are the spore gets inside teh hull, hatches and grows a hive and the hive spawns the basic alien life form (refer back to my first post, pg 5 or 6) and the aliens kill whatever is on the ship, the aliens spawn more hives too. My species cant drive starships, so needless to say it goes out of control and crashes :D. We can "capture" pilots and other beeings, but its very hard and subjects die 90% of the time from pain and blood loss (We parasite them to the point that they have some of their capabilities, but our hive controls them)

return fire! and this time use the power cannons to punch through the shields before you shoot the MACs! STUPID COMMANDERS, CAN'T YOU THINK FOR YOURSELVES! WE'VE LOST 4 QUICKMOVES AND ANOTHER DESTROYER, AND DAMAGED A CRUISER BECAUSE OF YOUR LACK OF THOUGHT! I'M GONNA REPLACE YOU ALL!

-bump-

*nods* it was 9 novas, anywho, on to my post*

The captain of the second battleship blanched as he watched the waves of incoming fire. "Verners, now" he heard, glad to feel his ship lurch as it slipped into subspace. The first wave hit as they ships were slipping out of space, two heavy cruisers buckling under the intence barrage, thier hulks cracking as the atmosphere leaked out, leaving them dead in space. The second wave claimed on of the four battlecruisers, and the shields on the dreadnaught. By the third wave, the ships were compeltly within the Verner field, only a few lagging escorts catching the blast, but being uniformly damaged beyond repair, what few crew survived desperatly making thier way to the life pods. As the fleet slipped away, heading through subspace to drop behind the gunpods, three capital ships and six frigates lay burning, anougher four frigates baddly damaged, the air filling rapidly with lifeboats.

the spores slammed against mostly deserted frigates, the life pods buring at full sublight speed to a neautral location to await pickup.

They aren't shields exactly, you can't just take them down. Since they only affect projectile fire, the best way to deal with them is just not to use missiles or other projectiles.

Power cannon fire blasts away at the GAT ships, causing minor hull damage to several, inflicting major damage on 2 Scimitars, and utterly destroying another. The somewhat depleted Guanyan fleet continues to fire at the DC forces, raining destruction on the enemy ships.

Knowing that by sheer force of numbers even the inferior vessels of DC :D will eventually triumph, the fleet sends a call for reinforcements. Responding to the call, a Guanyan RX fleet (the 15th Fleet) sets course for the battle site. It will take some time for them to reach their comrades.

The 15th contains:

9 Silver Wolf Destroyers
16 Phoenix Hawk Corvettes

((OOC: Guanyu, would that happend to use the Hutchison Effect?))

A block of wood can simply "sink into" a metal bar, yet neither the metal bar nor the block of wood come apart. Also, there is no evidence of displacement, such as would occur if, for example, one were to sink a stone into a bowl of water.

It is an adaptation of the described effect that allow energy to do with projectiles what the metal bar does to the block of wood in that example. I actually got the idea from the Hutchinson Effect. For all intents and purposes, the projectiles simply vanish.

OOC: So, you FTL'd behind the Harbingers? I'm just checking because there's been a page and a half of posts since I last posted and I'm not wuite sure what's directed at me

Vzxlack, there is no conceivable way you have a 20 KILOMETER warship in space...I sincerely hope that was a typo, and that the fighter compliment was also.

OOC: How is inconceivable? I only made it several kilometers longer than an Imperial Super Star Destroyer (which are 17 km). No. There are no typos in my ship stats. The dreadnoughts are big, bulky command ships that're armed to the teeth like any other Vzxlackian vessel... quite typical of a mad bent, conquering, warrior species.

IC: Within time the Vzxlackian forces arrived to Ross 128, dropping out of hyperspace one by one. Scanners searched the area to determine the passage of the battle over the system. They picked up the rubble of Takian and Klonor vessels, but not a sign of remaining Takian ships. Sensors also recorded that there were other vessels steadfastly approaching the system, enemy vessels of Dying Camels. The Border Patrol Ships were sent out to spread over the system and see to it that Dying Camels had a difficult time getting through.

A hailing was sent to the Klonor survivors, the message translated for their understanding. "The Empire of Vzxlack has arrived. We are here to aid in the defense of your system. Can you give us a briefing of what has occured?"

I didn't mean that such a ship was IMPOSSIBLE, though it is far outside what I consider acceptable NS ship size range, I meant that a nation your age would be extrememly unlikely to have the materials, money, and manpower to field such a gigantic ship.

OOC: Powerhouse economy, 10% military population (like Korea), and heavy on defense. The Vzxlackians have a one track mind: conquest, conquest, CONQUEST. ...They're pretty two-dimensional, but an evolved hive society that pretty much outlaws individuality tends to lack... flavor.

A powerhouse economy? That doesn't equal crap quite frankly. I've had a frightning economy for 8 months and haven't built a ship of that size. Meh... the bigger they are, the harder they fall.

Seriously though, you wouldn't have the resources to build that.

OOC: Jesus christ... it's not like I sent in a gazillion jillion of them... I only sent 4. And in total of the models that were ever made, there's only 25. These things are not mass produced.

((OOC: as close to behind them as we can get, do you have subspace dampers on your ships?))

I don't mean to upset.

Just realize that the quality of the ships you send will be vastly inferior to other stuff out there. You can build 25 of them... but not without paying a price in quality.

OOC: Jesus christ... it's not like I sent in a gazillion jillion of them... I only sent 4. And in total of the models that were ever made, there's only 25. These things are not mass produced.

ONLY 25? I don't think you could even make ONE. (Although having one as a flagship might be reasonable...barely.)

To put it in the typical NS way...25 of those would mean they were cardboard.

OOC: The closer the better. Yay! I just won the fight

IC:

As the Takaian ships appear behind the Harbingers, to close for the Warheads to be effectively used, the Mjolnir Remote Beam Cannons come on-line.

The 400 Mjolnirs (a total of 800 Beam Cannons) target the Takaian ships, blasting out in an attempt to both bisect and decapitate the ships at the same time (they're slicing the ships into pieces and shooting at the command bridges, providing they're not buried in the middle of the ship)

OOC: Different cultures, different technology, different views on life. You want to know the average life of a Vzxlackian?

Get up, step out of cramped 10'x10' room, go to work, build weapons and ships for the Empire all day, go home.

Four Annihilators, twenty-six Scimitars, and nine Orions reverted to realspace in the Ross 128 system just in time to see the nova cannons hit.

Transmission from the Haliburton:

"Klonor forces, this is General Graham Smith of the GANS Haliburton. Heard you could use a little help, and it looks like we're just in time for the party. Brought you a few presents too, 9 Orions to be transferred to your command. You gonna invite us in or are we not wanted?" (OOC: General Smith has a very dry sense of humor.)

Klonor, response?

People! This is a war! No need to get angry. Please, take the argument somewhere else

OOC: Whoops, forgot about that

IC:

"To all nations who have offered their help, we accept and offer our thanks. Your contributions shall not be forgotten."

---Transmission to Klonor---

"We are still awaing orders on what system to go to. We're anxious to find ourselves a war."

---End transmission---

"Head to the Ross128 system, it's where the main attack is happening"

"Roger that Klonor forces, the Orions are en route to the main installation now."

(OOC: Waiting for Taka's response to the Mjolnir attack to decide what to do with my fleet.)

"We anxiously await their arrivale. They shall add great power to our own forces."

OOC: Funny thing, I have yet to use any of my ships in this fight. So far it's only been the system defences, and I'm blowing the hell out of Taka. Yay!

Nine of the Vzxlackian Battleships were sent towards the reappearing Takian vessels. Fully arming their shields and weapons, the Battleships opened fire on the Takian ships, joining the Klonor forces in the defensive assault.

OOC: Klonor, from this point on I have nothing to do with the Orions, they are under your control OOC and IC. So RP their arrival whenever.

"Deflector to all ships, set coordinates for a hyperspace jump to the system Ross128."

"Roger, command. Setting corrdinates."

"Coordinates set."

"Roger, coordinates set."

The fleet repositioned in the direction of Ross128. RBSV Deflector, the Bonstocknian Imperial Star Destroyer that served mostly as an armed command ship, led the formation. With most of the ground capabilities of the fleet (ooc: bunches of AT-ATs, AT-STs, and storm troopers), it also had a large capacity of fighters (quite a few TIEs. Obselete, perhaps, but they work as an interceptor). Of course, the bulk of the fleet was Klonor supplied ships with fighters built by Klonor. Orion class destroyers and numerous corvettes provided the bulk of the fleet, along with 20 mobile ion guns (ooc: look at the package fleet from Klonor's storefront).

The fleet jumped into hyperspace, screaming towards the system for Bonstock's first space battle.

A transmission was sent to Klonor:

"Give us a description of the system, the forces of yourself and the enemy, and of the individual planets that we may land forces on, along with the positioning of these planets. We will rendezvous with your fleet when we reach the system."

The Orions are just sitting in Sub-Space, waiting until they're needed before they come into real space

"There are numerous planets in the system, but there is nothing of any kind on them. You may land on them for refueling and repair purposes, but they are of no strategic value."

Can I roleplay Jimbo the Magical Dragon who is also a police officer?

The Takian fleet jumps from subspace firing, torpedoes streaking from thier tubes before they had fully exited the slipstream. The warheads pinged thier targets, flying in a mass wave against both the harbinger launchers and the beam cannons. The weapons batteries had been locked onto the harbingers, and the crews were unprepared for the beamcannons that rapidly warmed up, yet fired full barrages against ther orriginal targets. The Dreadnaught was the first to notice the beam cannons, as the commander slamed a fist against the "Unleash all Ordinace" button, the hatches opening simoutaously and seding out a threehundred and sixy five degree arch of plasma and fusion torpedoes, as well as tens of thousands of smaller faster AA missiles.

((OOC: Your guys don't know where I'm jumping to, so to say they lock on and open fire is to take the iniative that is mine, your defences will have to turn around and lock on first, and we already have the possitions of your Harbingers in our firing computers *as they fired at us from current location* some of the beam cannons will be shot down by diverted torpedeo fire before they can fire, please post damage so I can edit to add my own in based on how many shots are now being sent my way))

Uh, you couldn't have known that the Mjolnirs were there. They were shut down, all you'd have seen was just some hunks of metal floating in space, with no way of knowing that they were weapons platforms. And you posted them going to closely behind the Harbingers, so they must have been in real space. Therefor the Mjonirs could have seen them, locked on, and shot.

Lets ask Oden about what just happened, maybe Loki is up to his tricks again.

Hives flower and spawn life forms. The deserted ships will float through space untill they crash or untill they are destroyed.


2nd volley in 5 RL minutes.

Space and time seem to blurr for a moment, an area several thousand kilometers from the DC fleet becoming... 'unobservible' for a moment, befor reality itself seems to birth the three kilometer bulk of a Kanuckistani Thunderhead-class Superfortress; powerful FTL sensors reach out across the system, scouring the battlefield from behind a barrier field of epic power.

Thousands of light guns join nearly two dozen of their heavier counterparts in targeting the DC fleet from their armoured weapons blisters, while thousands of high yeild missiles screamed from fast-launch tubes to alpha-strike the Takian fleet ripping into the Klonor defences.

A moment later the dreadnaught commander's voice boomed across the system, "This is Commodore Ch'cye of the Kanuckistani High Gaurd Vessel Target Drone to attacking fleets; stand down and surrender, or we will be sending your collective asses home in a very small box"


OOC: It's often been said to younger nations trying to field fleets that quantity comes at the cost of quality. Naturally, the reverse is true.

I am a highly militarised nation. I only 11 capital ships. This is one of them. Fear. :twisted:



BTW, aplha-strike means that the missiles will varry their speeds so that, despite being launched in sequence, they will converge upon Taka's fleet at the same time. They are heavy anti-capital ship missiles, so it should be a pretty nasty strike.

Youre attacking everyone?

OOC:
Just Taka's fleet, and the part of DC's fleet that's shelling Klonor from max range.

Here's the latest refit for the Thunderhead;

Notes:
Alot of the tech involved above is my own creation; <insert 'intilectual property' 'not for use without permission' rant here>

I'm not sure what ranges you guys usually fight at, but I can easily engage you at a lightsecond or three, and reliably hit maneuvering fighters at upwards of 150'000 km. Also, you should know that you will have to be creative if you want to do any damage to my ship(the gravitic deflector's not perfect, but don't think you can hammer your way through it ;) ), and getting in close, well, that's suicide.

Also, Kanuckistan considers fighters and missiles long range, stand-off and force-projection weapons; I probally won't even launch my fighters unless I have to fight in two places at once.

And remember, this' all OOC info :wink:

Uh, you couldn't have known that the Mjolnirs were there. They were shut down, all you'd have seen was just some hunks of metal floating in space, with no way of knowing that they were weapons platforms. And you posted them going to closely behind the Harbingers, so they must have been in real space. Therefor the Mjonirs could have seen them, locked on, and shot.

((OOC:they popped out of real space behind the harbingers, and we only knew about the harbingers, however the torpedeo systems are guided by the takian AS systems, meaning that when anouther threat becomes apparent then they can be diverted, hence while most of our shots are against the Harbingers, the AA clouds would have fired as soon as the beam cannons warmed up, but no worries, how many survived, if any fell, and which ships are they aiming at?))

The situation had just gone from bad to worse, as a new ship had entered the fray, a barrage of missiles heading at high speeds towards them.

"HEPD's Now!" the commander of the battleship yelled, the deflector screens flashing into place and allowing the missiles to slam against them, detonating far from thier hull, but as teh missiles were side by side, into each other. The fields worked to stop as many as they could, limited by the ability to only deal with one object at a time.

OOC: Nice trick. *loads laser-heads* :twisted:

The incoming fire from the Takaian fleet slams into the shields on the Harbingers, bouncing off the shields and punching holes in their armor. Fortunately, due to the extreme size of the Harbinger Cannons (each one is about the size of the Colossus)and the distribution of the shots, there is only superficial damage.

The Mjolnirs (which would have managed to get off their shots before being hit by the AA missiles. Le't say the shots were evely distributed throughout your entire fleet) don't fare as well. Their Beam Weapons do a good job of slicing the incoming missiles to shreds, but with so many coming they can't stop them all.

When the debris clear 276 of the original 400 are nothing more than floating shrapnel. However, the remaining 124 (that's 248 Beam Cannons) quickly return fire, all aiming at the lead Dreadnought in an attempt to knock out the command center for the attacking forces.

As the Mjolnirs continue to occupy the forces the Klonor Station enters the fray (wll, it doesn't really enter it, since it can't move. But it's shooting for the first time). It's 20 Heavy Beam Cannons (actually, it's just the 20 that are on that side of the station facing the enemy ships) charge up and let loose, shooting at the largest concentration of Taka ships.

IC: All DC Allies, full retreat. I repeat, all DC allies full retreat to DC's system.
Secret IC to allies:We're gonna pull them into the biggest damn trap they've ever seen! now get moving.
IC: all Hyperdrive capable DC ships jump to hyperspace, heading for the DC system. 1 damaged cruiser, 2 damaged Ion frigates and 3 damaged Destroyers jettison dropships with all crewmembers to a carrier and leave the AI systems to continue firing at all enemies. the hull-breached destroyer has already been tugged back to base while the fight was elsewhere.
losses:1 carrier slightly damaged, 2 destroyers damaged beyond hyperspace capability, 2 Ion frigates damaged beyond hyperspace capability, and 4 MAC frigates destroyed.

Remember Klonor you have 9 Orions as well should the station not be enough.

DC, this includes the fleet fighting my ships correct?

The barrage struck the Takian dreadnaught, the salvo shattering the first shield and punching throuhg to the second. She spun around and opened up with her trio of slicer cannons (a half a million terrawatt stream) as the Klonorian instalation fired her shots. The second shields droped as all Takian ships folded out, the smaller ones relying on the slower verner drivers than risk a second fold. In all, the Takians had been the spearhead of the assault, and had suffered the highest casulties. A battleship, a battle cruiser, two heavy cruisers and six frigates had been destroyed, another battle cruiser and anouther heavy limping heavily, though only the dreadnaught had escaped any damage.

OOC: Is it too late to join up against Klonor?

OOC: Probably not, but I don't think there'd be much for you to do.

Remember Klonor you have 9 Orions as well should the station not be enough.

Yeah, I also have my own fleet in the system. That'd be about 5 orions, a couple dozen corvettes, cruisers, etc. I didn't have to use any of it yet (man, I am good!)

Taka, what are you attacking with the slicer cannons?

Klonor, 3 Trillion has been wired to your officials to help protect your land.

We thank you for your donation.

Lol hey any of you need a desine for a warp drive or a warp core ?

No, I think I'm okay

Well my nation is kind of new to the space game but im shure ill make it lol.

((OOC: it streams outward, basicly its playing connect the dots with your harbingers and anything in the way.))

The nine Vzxlackian Battleships continued their fire on the retreating Takian ships as they reached closer range. Once the vessels were completely gone, fire ceased and the Battleships halted in a stationary drift.

Around the Ross 128 system, the 200 Border Patrol Ships circled and reported the retreat of enemy ships that were once steadfastly retreat. Here in the system, the Patrol vessels would remain until order was confirmed to be re-established, patrolling it against intruders.

From the massive bulk of one of the four Dreadnoughts, a lone, unarmed vessel left dock and sped to one of the Klonor ships. Aboard it was the Vzxlackian High Chancellor Bzrtiti-Cha to discuss with a representative of the Klonor Empire brief alliance negotiations.

An Elysium transport launches from the station, speeding out to meet the incoming vessel from the unknown species that had helped them in the fight

The two vessels dock with each other. For the first time the Klonor will look upon the strange visage of these alien beings from a distant world. The Vzxlackians resemble a bipedal insect, their exoskeletal structure possessing a green hue to it. Their forms are dressed in plates of metal and cloth. On their backs are pairs of then membranous wings allowing for flight. Hands and feet end in sharpened opposable claws and their gaze stares out emotionlessly with ant-like eyes.

Bzrtiti-Cha is escorted by two armed guards and a third holds some sort of device. When Bzrtiti-Cha speaks in its strange language of buzzes, clicks, and whistles, the device produces an audio translation for the Klonor.

"We ask which one is the representative of Klonor."

"I am. Rear Admiral Germin Hes, military governor of the Ross 128 system. May I ask who you are?"

After a few minutes to make sure they're not planning on swinging around to try and catch the deffenders flat-footed licking their woumds, the KHGV Target Drone hails the Klonor station.

"This is Commodore Ch'cye of the Kanuckistani High Gaurd Vessel Target Drone to Klonor instalation. Looks like you got quite the bloody nose there; anything we can do to help?"

OOC: Bloddy nose? Hell, they didn't do squat. Not one single person dead. Only machinery, and nothing very vital at that

IC:

"No, we're fine here. We've already put in an order to Gamma Draconis for replacement Harbinger Cannons, and our spare Mjolnir's are filling up the holes left by the destroyed ones. A few hours and we'll be in tip-top shape. Thank you for your offer, and for your help."

OOC: Bloddy nose? Hell, they didn't do squat. Not one single person dead. Only machinery, and nothing very vital at that



7 of the Nove bombs strike home, blasting through the armor on the Harbinger Cannons and slicing a path straight through it's gut. Detonating inside, the cannons begin to slide on the rotatory cuff, their control crews either dead or the motivators to damaged to stop the rotation.


:wink:

Good point, but the Harbinger Cannons are unmanned. Nobody inside them. There's a complex sensor net and control relay that controls tehm from the station. I made a mistake when I posted that. My bad

OOC: I'm willing to defend someone's home planet/star system that's on Dying Camel's side. I say this becuase I'm not sure if my tech level is high enough to do serious damage to Klonor's planets/fleets. Here's what I can contribute:

1000 Novaburst-class starfighters (armed with two 50 mm machine guns, and 1 metre methanium hull plating)

5 Quasar-class fleet carriers (capable of carrying 200 starfighters each, armed with 5 AA lasers, and 4 metres methanium hull plating)

100 Pulsar-class MAC frigates (armed with 4 MACs, 15 AA laser batteries, and 6 metres methanium hull plating)

80 Starfire-class cruisers (armed with 2 MACS, 25 AA laser batteries, and 6 metres methanium hull plating)

50 Theta-class mobile orbital bombardment cannons (armed with 2 Super MACs and 4 metres methanium hull plating)


Please also note: I am still experimenting with shielding technology, but my ships do use Matter/Antimatter Reactors, and my ships travel by using wormhole corridors (that were expanded from nanoscopic size and made stable). I haven't discovered hyperdrive systems yet.

250 Orbital DC Power cannons (3 times the power of ship-types) are in orbit around Arribastania (DC home planet) the fleet begins reconstruction of damaged and rebuilding of destroyed vehicles. the fleet is on the ready for a counter-attack, but will not attack klonor again, for his allies are great. a sub-space burst transmission is sent to Klonor. "someday, General, your assasination of the Duke will be avenged"

OOC: If you're expecting an attack from me, it wont happen. You never actually came into contact with my forces. I only fought Taka. There's no IC reson for me to attack you. Sorry

IC:

"What the **** are you talking about? Salm was executed years ago"

((OOC: erm, the forces attacking you are retreating towards there, and he shelled you from a distance if I recall correctly, as for the IC comment, assuming fluid time this would have taken place shortly after the duke retook command, but before word of Salm's execution got out, so if you want to follow him you've got the reason.))

OOC: He didn't shell me from a distnace, I don't think my ships even saw him (we might have seen him at the edge of the system moving inwards, but a breach of territory is not enough reason to attack an ally). And then change the "years" to "weeks"

What! Salm was executed? why was i never told of this? the camelhand flies into a rage, throwing chairs and kicking tabels. execute the man in charge of the Klonor system intelligence NOW!!
yessir

the fleet continues on it's way to the ross 128 system. just within range of ion and Magnetic Accelerator cannons, it stops.
OOC:prepare for a pounding. :twisted:
IC:the MAC's and Ion cannons fire for 2 full minutes. all units sit in space. meanwhile, back at the site of the Guanyu-DC initial battle, an MMU, a damaged cruiser, and a destroyer for defense, sit in space, waiting for tugs to come...(feel free to attack it, but if you touch that fricking medical frigate, you will be an enemy of the Desert forever. :evil: )

OOC:
Klonor, this is where he shelled you(on page 8 ); you probally missed the post.

It's this part of his fleet that my ship droped out by.


Oh, and if a counter-attack is launched, I think I'll break out a Battleplate and another Superfortress :twisted:

Klonor, will you accept our humblest apologies? we are willing to pay for damage caused to you by DC ships. we were not aware the Duke was in power and had come to kill the General.

"We accept your apologies, and are ready to receive reparations. Thankfully, no personell were killed in the fight, or this would be much more comlicated."

OOC:

K, he never said what he was shooting at. I couldn't post damage if I had no clue what was being blown up

we'll wire $2 trillion. post any more costs and we will pay for it. (i was bombarding the planet, not targeting anything, just bombarding)

I side with Klonor on this, Klonor if you need any help i have ships on stand by if you need them.

Well then, there was no combat between us. Like I said, there was nothing on, near, or around the planets. So, you just killed some trees and insects

IC:

"We received some $8 trillion in damage, but since it was not from your ships, or those under your command, we do not feel you must pay for the repairs."

Yeah, the war's already over. We're now negotiating over reparations.

OOC:

Didn't Taka's forces retreat to DC's homeworld? Now that DC and Klonor are back on good terms, Taka's forces there could be caught unaware by DC's deffences and annialated.

I'll give him until his next post to get out. if he tries to attack we've got 2 hundred mjolnir's, 250 MACs, 250 orbital AA platforms (1,000 AA lasers each), 4 nations' fleets, and 250 DC power cannons. not a problem.

Arribastan is a DC puppet? Well, whaddya know

Arribastan is a DC puppet? Well, whaddya know
vice-versa. DGNT already knew, but now the word is out can't tell if it's good or bad to rp good and evil naitions :?

You know, I have never been good at determining whether somebody is a puppet, and who for.

i posted in a DGNT thread, then deleted it, but he saw my post. he's allies with both now. :mrgreen:

(OOC: Let me guess, inspired by the Geonosians. Classic.)

OOC: Actually my creatures weren't. I use to have an interest in insect species in my younger years and wanted to make something that was like an ant/grasshopper thing. Then I just imagined what an insect language would be like: clicks, buzzes, and whistles.

"I am. Rear Admiral Germin Hes, military governor of the Ross 128 system. May I ask who you are?"

IC: "I am the High Chancellor Bzrtiti-Cha"—there appeared to be no pronounceable translation of the creature's name—"mouthpiece of the Exalted Hivelord of the Vzxlackian Empire. We have come to discuss an alliance with your people. We assume that our atomic Planet Crusher was well received when left behind?"

"So, that was your weapon? We did, in fact, receive it. However, this brief confrontation has kept us from studying it in depth."

STOP THE WAR!!! YOU'RE KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE, MURDERERS!!!!! :x

What the **** are you talking about?

"It was indeed ours, we felt a tolken gift would help with alliance issues," the creature seemed to laugh, as nothing was translated for the buzzes that followed. Then it resumed speaking. "Your world seems to be a most influential power on this side of the galaxy and we felt an alliance with such a power would help our species to be well received. Our world is far from this sector on the opposite galactic rim. Will you discuss an alliance?"

What the hell is going on?
"sir, we have many enemy ships on radar"
"from what countries?"
"from taka and Ross128"
"oh sh**! send the country that those 2 countries are invading! tell them we're here to help"
"yes sir! right away sir!"

Goldany, the war is pretty much over, and no civilians were harmed. The guy being attacked didn't even take casualties.

"send in the troops!"
"yes sir! how many, sir?"
"everyone! we want a full scale attack oin any thing that isn't on our side!except for civilians... definitely not civilians"
"yes sir!"

GOD DAMN I HATE N00BS!

Ireland, do you have any clue what's going on?

IC:

"We would be glad to discuss an alliance. Would you be willing to travel to our base of operations in this system? We would be better able to discuss the terms of the Alliance. I will say this, your help here will not be forgotten"

(assuming you agree to going to the station)

A direct beam transmission has is being beamed to the Klonor capital in Deneb. The holographic representation of Duke Klonor appears in the center of the room, and speaks.

"What kind of alliance did you have in mind?"

General Smith to Klonor forces:

"The attackers seem to have gone home, so my fleet will be returning to Guanyan space if there is nothing further you need. Although we will stay if you want a little extra power here as a show of force to those odd non-humans that showed up."

OOC EDIT: This is just an excuse for him to stay in system. In addition to being curious as hell about the Vzxlackians, he has an obligation to report as much information as he can get on this new race to his superiors.

"Thank you for your offer. Due to the unknown nature of these aliens we would appreciate your help. You may join our negotiations on the main station if you'd like."

See OOC EDIT^^

See IC edit

"We've gotten out of hyperspace, sir."

"Roger. Deploy your forces for the battle." He looked around. "Where's the enemy?"

Yeah, kinda sucks. Sorry, war finshed before you got here

(sry. eatin dinner)

IC:

i would love to go to your base and discuss an alliance,
whan shall this take place?

Smith to Klonor: "Thank you for the offer. I will be transferring over with two bodyguards, sorry but military regulations require them to come with me."

A shuttle detaches from the Haliburton and carries Smith and his bodyguards over to the station. They dock with the Klonor installation and the shuttle door slides open.

OOC: I'll be off for about a half hour now.

(sry. im tejas91 too)
