Today Padmasa has finished building it's cities and outposts. Everyone is settled in and the Padmasan colony fleets will begin helping other members of the Crimson Order make the transition. The Pegasi system located 50 light-years from earth is now throughly under Crimson Order control. The Monolithian Empire and Crimson Sparta are not far behind, and with the added boost of the Padmasan colony ships should arrive soon.

Akaron (Ack-ah-ron) (Claimed by Padmasa)
Planet type: Mountainous, oceanic, tundra
Planet size: 4X Earth
# of moons: 3
Resources: Ivory, tungsten, furs, iron ore, hydrogen, aluminium, nickle, neutronium.
Special qualities: This planet is very cold and the seas are little more than ice-flows. There is no season cycle, there is only winter.
Most common creature: Wolves
Interesting notes: The mammoth thrives here and the planet has already been claimed, Padmasa has fully colonized the planet and is set up near far above and below the equator leaving the equatorial regions clean of "civilization."

In related news it is now projected that the Padmasan Flagship will be completed within 9 years. The ship has been christened Ragnarok, and has an estimated length of 13 kilometers, costing between 700 trillion and 1 quintillion Gold Templars. Other statistics are closely guarded and will not be made available.

This is heralded as a great advancement for The Crimson Order and mroe specifically for Padmasa.

The Pegasi system wouldn't happen to be the Epsilon Pegasi system, would it?

The Pegasi system wouldn't happen to be the Epsilon Pegasi system, would it?

I have a sinking suspecion that it is, let me wander off to speak with my co-laborators. Is there a reason for the line of questioning as in someone already lives there, or are you just curious?

EDIT: It is not, in fact, the Epsilon Pegasi System.

Crimson Sparta officially announces our intentions to colonize the system as well, as soon as our space department technology (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=119310&highlight=) level allows.

I only ask because the Epsilon Pegasi system is a signatory of Klonor (it's one of my systems). If you had settled there I'd be forced to blow the ever living **** out of you.

But, since it's not, I have no problems. Good luck!

OOC: My thanks, althought I somehow doubt that you would win that battle... Well actually, you probably would but with very, very high casualties.

OOC: I think a Contingent of Harbinger Cannons would have you whistling a different tune :twisted:

OOC: :twisted: Maybe, but I suspect that a taskforce of cloaked strike-cruisers and several Balors would make you re-evaluate your chances.

Which reminds me I need to design some light carriers and frigates... :twisted: :evil:

OOC: Perhaps they might, except that my Massometers and Particle emitters pretty much make any known cloak ineffectual. So, you come in all sneaky like and I shoot you. :twisted:

I just noticed those (Massometers), and I must say they would make things rather difficult though there are still gaps in what you can manage. You precieve that you said it would notice anything of size. I rather doubt that you would notice something about the size of a man, or less for that matter. :twisted:

Now the Particle Emitters would make things nearly impossible but then I still have the option of brute force. I've noticed several things while browsing your storefront... For instance: You stll use lasers as main weapons ( :lol: ), your beam weapon, I've never really seen any specs to it, so I could therefore assume it fires a stream of sub-atomic particles that lack armour penetration and thusly your main weapons are usless unless they are allowed to sustain fire for some time, your ships have no marine compliment listed, so a boarding party in powered armour or of expert marines with their own oxygen supply could more than likely fight to a control deck and destroy the ship, and my final notation is that you make no mention of AI, so thusly you likely have "dumb" targeting computers helping your men who are only human and can make critical mistakes and those mistakes are usually fatal.

Padmasa, I'm gonna give you a pointer here. Any space-tech nation should know this, so I feel obligated to inform you that one of the first rules of space tech in NS is this:

Never f*** with Klonor.

I know that quite well, and I never had planned on attempting such with anything less than a planet similar to Cadian and enough firepower to make Abaddon the Despoiler green with envy... What I am doing right now is exchanging ideas with him how I could even attempt to gain a foothold in his space without his permission. I never plan to do such and I think he knows that as well as I do... or at least I hope he knows such.

Also, would you please be kind enough to assume that I have a great deal of knowledge about NS and about who I can and who I cannot fight. I long ago realized that I can't tangle with many nations, however I also long ago realized that I will be able to and that I will have commanders more feared than The Despoiler, it will just take time.

And despite the lack of activity by the ESUS, Indra Prime still considers Klonor an ally and would come to the aid of said nation if attacked by some foreign agressor.

OOC: Let's, please, not starting listing alliances, or else this will turn into a real discussion of how to go about killing each other, which will in turn turn into a war... Not that I have anything to fear, other than complete annihilation and fear itself.

Besides I'd like to bring this whole topic back on topic, I am as much a part of the reason it's off topic as anyone here, so I'd like to get it back onto topic. I'm not exactly sure how I'm supposed to do that but meh.

*Small Note* I left the ESUS quite a while ago, got fed up with how nobody was doing anything.

I, likewise, am just having fun. Neither of us is actually planning a war. If we were, I think we all know who'd come out on top :wink:

Regarding the massometers not detecting a man, you're right. But then again, how would you cloak a man? So, the regular sensors will be just fine in detecting the man floating in space.

Regarding the Particle Emitters, you don't know what the heck they are, since only Guanyu has even heard of them. (Busted!)

Beam Cannons are not lasers. They are energy based weapons, but they're not lasers (My Laser Turrets are lasers). They are, however, extremely powerful. What they do is slice a ship in half. Or punch a whole right through it. These things are powerful. Have you seen my Orions (They're about 2 km long)? One Beam Cannon can blast right through the entire width of an Orion in 3 seconds flat. They do not lack "armour penetration" as you thought.

There are hundreds (or thousands, depending on the ship) of soldiers stationed on board a Klonor vessel. I don't list them in the storefront because I never bothered to determine the exact amount, and because I don't think it's important. The vessels for sale are meant to be used in space combat, their primary roles aren't troop transports.

Finally, I do have A.I.'s. I really don't want to go into details with this (ask anyone, this gets really detailed), but they can control the movement, firing, FTL, etc, of any Klonor ship, depending on different circumstances. Also, my gunners are not normal humans. They are cybernetically enhanced, their reaction time is a hundredth of the human norm, their eyesight is much better, they're muscle control is extreme (very precise targeting), etc.

Oh, one last note, there's still the Harbinger Cannons. You still haven't said how you'll get around those

Aye you would win, though give me some 8 more years (RL days) and I we can see how many of your ships it takes to bring down my Flagship and it's escort...

Hah! Trying to get me to divulge secrets are we. How to get around your wonderful Harbingers is rather simple, I blow anything that has them half way to hell with a cloaked drone and a few pure hydrogen bombs... Of course it would have to be extremly co-ordinated because the second one went off you would realize exactly what I was doing and would counter-act it.

I realize your ships are meant to be used for space battles but troops are always necessary there so that you can board or repel boarders. Taking a page from WH40K I find that simply ramming a ship and using the ram to attach myself to that ship helps, especially when that ram has enough tiny doors in it to deploy an army. It is then a matter of using highly trained marines and armoured infantrymen to kill any and all men on your ship using any and all tools available and setting it's self destruct. Of course there are other objectives in the ship, simply because you could destroy me when you realized what was happening by using your self destruct from both the engine rooms and the command deck.

A particle emitter, I admit I have not heard of it, but because I have not I must assume that I cannot get around it. Thusly my statement was correct, if you were not decieving me when you implied what it's function was. ( :twisted: ) You can't catch me, well you can but with more effort than that.

Matters of AI do tend to become overly detailed. I just figured I would point out that I had not seen any mention of them, and thusly I could assume they did not exist.

Now as to your gunners, I must say that they have much in common with my own, for I have also added cybernetic enhancments to mine.

Your beam cannons would prove a problem however that is the reason one developes shielding against energy weapons. Sure it would only buy me a few seconds but! A few seconds is enough to launch a-few missles.

You mentioned cloaking a man, well that is rather simple. It would just depend on your detection equipment. I make the following for a reason:

Anti-scan weave
Cost: $2000 (Not for sale)
Clothing is imprinted with microcircuits that interfere with most electromagnetic emissions, (weapon detectors, infared, radar, X-ray) However the wearer should be covered ankle to neck with this type of clothing.

Stealth weave
Cost: $5000 (Not for sale!)
Active Camo, you’ve heard of it and now it exists. When activated the wearer is nearly indistinguishable from the surrounding terrain, should the wearer be wearing stealth weave from head to toe, of course. The charge cell for this garment is concealed in an interior pocket and is good for 6 hours use. Usually made into cloaks, and combined with Anti-Scan weave for a nearly invisible assassin, scout, or sniper.

You know, we're just going around in circles. I say something, you counter it, I counter that, etc. Kinda pointless.

Besides, we all know I'd trash you
