The destrucion of the Shiva didnt go unnoticed by the other shivans, as soon as it was relized that the nanites escaped ships began jumping out of subspace and headed for the Yarin system, the 2 Ekardian worldships powered up there massive engines which hadnt been used for centuries. The massive fleet began to power up engines and make the trip to yarin it wouldnt take long as they were alredy in subspace. Tens of thouands of fighters moved with them as well even the mighty Bhaal moved in towards the system that was there regrouping area. The ESUS would still die and and so would the human race this was just a setback

ooc ill post my ships later

OOC: Yeah, seeing as how one-paragraph RPs cut it here, I'll keep this brief. What happened to the glory days of page-long RP's? Our days are never coming back....

IC: The Hau-Untan and Tau-Faerün World Stations were buzzing with activity. All ships in the TOR fleet (Just FYI, but that will number to 2164 warships and 58 thousand fighters after we RP this out) were being docked in the two massive World Stations, defenses were being recalled, and an advance fleet was being sent out via the Gate to the Yarin system. In minutes, they would scout the system, give the OK, and make a space for the four World Stations to jump to. Preparations were sparse, given the nature of the emergency, but they were attempting to make sure they didn't accidently jump into a planet or meteor field. (Which, giving the size and power of the World Stations, wouldn't stop them much). Defenses were on full alert, which, while ineffective against the nanite threat, made them feel a little better. The World Stations were set a long distance apart, so that one concentrated attack by enemies wouldn't cripple the Shivans. They had a few hours, or so was the hope.

Their "leader", the sorry excuse that he was (And, as was agreed upon by the Thirteen, was a total imbecile) had shot them all in the foot by not keeping track of his nanites. Nanites, stupid things. Never create something that can destroy you if you intend to give it a brain. Once it can think for itself, it questions. Once it questions, you're dead.

The Gate was fully powered, as it was always kept on half power and the remaining power took a matter of minutes to generate. The fleet jumped through the Gate at a signal from the Thirteen, and appeared a few thousand kilometers from a planet in the Yarin system. Twenty minutes went by in strained suspense until an interference-riddled message crackled through on the communications link giving the rest of the Shivans the OK to jump. Within minutes, the rest of the fleet was in a generated frequency of space, a new method of ordinary jumps that they had developed recently following the Gate's invention. At least they wouldn't run into anyone else during their trip. Gravitational fields were generated to protect from grids. With fingers crossed, the forces of the Order of the Reptile headed for the Yarin system, where they would plan their final strikes.


Blood would be shed. Most of it would be their enemies'. All Hail the Order!

OOC:
Yarin system, eh? Pitty I have no IC way of knowing about this.

OOC:
Yarin system, eh? Pitty I have no IC way of knowing about this.
OOC: Nor I. But then again, once my government figures out Subspace is now uninhabitable, it's a good bet we'll be sending probes out in droves. One is probably going to stumble across the Yarin system.

Besides, it's not like the poweremissions from multiple worldships would be that easy to hide. :D

In other words: Tag for Shivanicide

What is the size of this world station, i mean this since in your posting it says that it would not suffer much if a colision with a planet ocurred..

Aboard Science Station Merrichton:

"Captain," an ensign shouted across the bridge, "I'm reading severe gravometric disturbances in a previously explored system... It may just be a phenomena... but..."

The captain struted over to the ensign's console, placing his hand on the chair back and leaned over. "But what, ensign?" Condescension dripped from his voice.

"Sir," the ensign replied, "I don't know if it's a phenomena, or something else... I reccomend sending a science ship to investigate, sir."

---------------------

Ten Minutes Later:

A small vessel, no more than a hundred feet long, detached from the station. It sped away from the inner-system, impulse engines glowing red. It jumped to warp and headed for the Yercht system.

OOC: IB's worldship was about the size of Jupiter, and his was the largest. I'm assuming that ours area about the size of Saturn. Kind of like an artificial planet, but more like a REALLY big Death Star. With armor, shields, and large beam cannons, we'd easily survive impact with a planet.

ICly, and I can't be bothered to waste a post saying this in-character, we're setting up interference fields around the system, laying traps and stuff in asteroids and other bodies floating in space, and getting ourselves settled in with defenses. Attacks are HIGHLY discouraged, because you'd run into the entire Shivan Imperium fighting force, as well as four armed-to-the-teeth world stations. If you really want me to churn out a two-sentence RP required to say this in character, just say so.


GZ: I'm not saying that you haven't discovered it, but I had thought that Ekardia would have made sure that no one else knew about this system. That was his reason for picking it: Said it was totally unknown, except for by him. But by all means, come, if you dare. Your science vessel will not be attacked per se, that would mean that there was a strong enemy presence in the system. Instead, it will suffer a grevious collision with a meteor. No trouble at all for the Gate to send a massive piece of rock hurtling at your ship at incredible speeds.

Attempted Shivanicide will be met with about 30,000 beam cannons.

(Maniacal laughter is heard booming across the galaxy from nowhere and everywhere at the same time)

ooc: Okay... the Science ship is still on course... however, we will make as many scans as possible... and should the ship dissapear... searches will be made...

Just out of curiousity...how do your ships get around anymore? I mean, you used subspace previously, but that's not exactly viable anymore...

Probably a good thing you asked, because I hadn't tought of it myself. Well, sub space was their old way of getting around quickly and quietly, but in the end, its just another level of space. We have another way of creating new levels of space: the Gate, and we can always use plain old hyperspace. Not very important, as we'll probably be massed by overexcited nations from the ESUS and AON that want to claim some glory (And find an early grave).

heh heh... Overexcited? If the AoN and the ESUS can stop squabbling, we might crush you yet... And... with our new shipyards, we may be building more Bismarck Class battleships soon...

Oh dear, guess we'll have to construct more Gargantuans, the lovable barely-moving targets that just scream "FRAG ME!!!!111". Big equals better, after all.

Yeah, I think we all see where IB went wrong with that theory. Construct away, old boy.

WIth all the engines we have on that monstrousity, it can go fast enough, thank you very much. AND that thing has soooo many weapons on it, they would be invaluable...

GZ go head and go to the Yercht system but we are in Yarin i am ignoring your vessel and if the system suddenly changes im ignoring that to

As there is no intergalactic system database, different races/nations may call the system by different names. As such, I call the "Yavin" system the "Yercht" system. So, like US or somebody said, My science ship will be heading to tbe Yercht system, your Yavin system, however, a meteor or something may strike my ship.

It's not Yavin, it's YARIN system. :D

The Defiant Class Ship Wsa Cursing along at a nice and slow warp 5.
Ops: We have detected 4 small moons with Massive Power Signatures
Captain: Interesting anything else?
Ops: A Tear In Subspace which is already sealing
Captain: We should investigate it's be somthing to do,Inform the fleet to have a fleet ready in case things get nasty
Helm: Setting a Crouse Now
Captain: Phase Cloak the Defiant And Head There at warp 8 I want to know whats going on.
*The Ship Disapeered and speed off at warp 8 now knowing what they were going to find*

OCC: I know that wasn't much but I just wanted to get a footholld

Oh pardon me... It's all the same cup o' tea...

they are the size of planets not small moons

Well, maybe his sensors are whacked out...

It's at very long distance gimmie a break ;)

Hey, My sensors were acurate twenty light years away

(note: Science Station Merrichton is not in Federation space)

I'm 40 light years away fool ;)
It's gonna take a couple of days to get there Kuz we slowed down to Warp 6.

Warp Six? you are so slow... we have discovered a way to use warp fields to travel faster than your wildest dreams...

and, btw, i think that Trek warp is kinda off... cause warp 6 is 6x the speed of light right? well, it would take almost 7 years to travel 40 light years...

A quiet thrum reverberated through the bridge. The crew laid back at their stations, bored. Some had fallen asleep -- the dim red lighting and dark colour of the surrounding walls and furniture weren't exactly condusive to staying away when bored.
The Captain picked up a bottle from the floor. It was roughly the shape of a standard wine bottle; transpaparent and with no markings, a deep red liquid swished about as he put the bottle to his mouth and took a swig. He growled in anger when he was knocked, and the blood wine spilled all over his face.
"qaStaH nuq jay?!" he shouted, his deep, snarling voice waking up the slumbering officers. He used his sleeve to roughly wipe his face.
One of the engineers tapped a panel frantically as the ship jolted violently again.
"Disru..." the engineer paused as he was flung to the ground like a rag doll. He quickly stood up, rubbed his ridged head, and got back to his station.
"This entire region has been subjected to huge subspace disruptions, my lord, our engines cannot handle them!" he shouted back. "tujqu'choH QuQ!"
"Overheating? Drop us from war..."

The K'Tinga-class battlecruiser shimmered into view as it violently dropped out of warp. One of its glowing nacelles dribbled plasma, leaving a spiraling trail behind it. It's nose pointed up, the ship flew in the direction of several huge, dark spheres.

"Whaaat is happening...?!" the captain roared, clinging to his seat desperately.
"Engines are destroyed... we are heading for one of those planets at high speeds... I cannot stop us!" the engineer panicked.
Sparks flew from exploding consoles. One of the huge spheres grew ever closer on the flickering viewscreen. As a fire broke out to the rear of the bridge, the Captain steadied himself with the chair, and stood up. Regardless of the violent shaking, he forced himself on to his feet.
"Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam..." he said quietly, just noticing that the surface of this planet didn't look entirely natural.

The Klingon cruiser slammed into one of the objects, breaking to pieces like a fiery egg. The ball of plasma flames died down almost as fast as it had appeared, leaving pieces of debris slowly spinning away. Aside from a black scorch mark on the site of impact, there was little indication anything had ever been there. A small object with two flashing lights, one green, one red, was amongst the debris, floating away from the site of the explosion.

and, btw, i think that Trek warp is kinda off... cause warp 6 is 6x the speed of light right? well, it would take almost 7 years to travel 40 light years...

Warp six is actually 392 times the speed of light. But you try saying 'Warp factor 392 Mr. Sulu!" every time you want to go anywhere :p.

east coast fed, klingons please stay out of this you have no idea whats going on

*Promptly takes offence at his belittling manner and discovers the use of the ignore feature*

Warp Six? you are so slow... we have discovered a way to use warp fields to travel faster than your wildest dreams...

and, btw, i think that Trek warp is kinda off... cause warp 6 is 6x the speed of light right? well, it would take almost 7 years to travel 40 light years...
OCC: That was the old warp scale. The old one goes up to warp 20 lol.
In The New one Warp 6 is almost 600times the speed of light I'm not sure but I can get back to you when I post later.
Plus I said we slowed DOWN to warp 6. Our Top speed is Warp 9.99.

************
At Ekardia: Fudge Off I just want to put a ship into postion should stuff get interesting. And To offer assistance.

I'm just checking in to let you all know that my entire fleet is moving to the outskirts of the Yarin system.

Yeah, you two, stay out. This is for ESUS, Shivan, and AON nations only. If you really want to be smished into an unrecognizeable pulp, by all means continue with this foolishness. Two cains should be enough to flatten the both of you.

I must ask this to clear up a debate among the Shivans: GZ, did you really explore the Yarin system beforehand, or did you make that up so that you'd have some sort of foothold? It seems kind of unlikely that you'd have explored the very system that we picked simply because it was unexplored (Although we were going on Ekardia's word on that...yeah...). I'm seriously not trying to be hostile OOCly, we're just wondering if you really knew about it. The odds of knowing about a particular system are trillions to one unless its close to your territory.

This being said, we're moving again. Since there are theoretically an unlimited number of systems, we figure that it would be fine to just make up a name and head to some far-off location. We can travel to anywhere almost instantly (Note the ALMOST, for the picky people), so distance is no issue to us. If you get your location straight and the science vessel does, by some miracle of navigation, find us, we'll move shortly after we discover it.

That was all OOC, of course.

ooc: My nation's people are fanatics about the Ancestors, an ancient race from a planet Terra. We have explored most of the half of the galaxy we are in in search of Relics of the Ancestors. So, we most likely know about that system. Now, since my weapons are not very advanced, and I am working on that, see the thread, I have very advanced sensor systems. Before the Juumo-Germanic war, we had had no wars. So, we did not develop too many weapon systems, but very advanced sensors. Okay, hope that explains it...

OOC: Ah, yes, perfectly. Thanks for clearing that up, that makes sense. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but there is the "universe" (Everything that's out there, going on forever), galaxies (Sections of the universe, like the Milky Way), and systems (Sections of galaxies, generally with a star and some orbiting bodies). So if you've explored this galaxy, which is reasonable, being that we can move very quickly, we could exit this galaxy and find another system elsewhere, where we would bide our time for a final front against the ESUS and AON and whoever else wants us dead. I may be wrong, my astronomy isn't very good. Anyway, enough of this OOCing. Let's continue here.

Commander John Showalter sttod at the bridge of the Ataenea corvette Excelsior aas they scanned the Yarin system for anything that shouldn't be there.
"Sir picking up masssive energy emissions in sector G, my god its a massive fleet."
"Let me see, Plot a course for Ikron, we still have the way we got through the nebula on our computers right."
Yes."
'When ever these buggers leave this will be our capital."

The ship dissapeaed into the blue glow of subspace.

ooc This is Ekardias puppet nation so this is allowed.

OOC: I was gonna say: Who the hell are you? Speaking of using puppets, or colonies, or outposts, or whatever you call your puppets, I really need to get Rahab Legion into the war. Respectable pop, the most skilled warriors and pilots in TOR, and a good fleet. More on Rahab when the war is over, it'll get some use when I go back to Modern tech.


But wouldn't the ship disappear into subspace, then disappear for good when the nanites ate it? Or is there something I haven't been told? (How unusual...)

He and a few other nations use a type of tunnel subspace different than ours

Ok. And from what you told me a few minutes ago on MSN, I'm also free to traverse sub space once again. Excellent. We'll move back there as soon as they make their move.

The Excelsior came back into thehe system with another Ataenea this time and saw that the fleet was gone. Commanderr Showalter gazed at the system it was massive several planets and moons a sun a gas giant and an asteroid feild.
"Ok tell the drone ships it is are safe to enter."
10 ships came in the system and began shooting FTLi mines around the systems edge. The mines had a range of 15 million km, and had been designed so they ignored Mariemea subspace travel making the system nearly inpenetrable the only practical way to attack it would be to use the subspace nodes that connected Mariemeas systems. There was only one node to Yarin and it was hidden in a nebula and heavily guarded by 35 MJOLNIR RBCs and 10 Harbinger cannons. After the mines were in place Showalter sent another message, and the 25 Civilian transports began to come out of the node to settle the planet Yarin which had been deamed habitable on another visit.

OOC more later

After sevral weeks 50 million of Mariemeans citizens had made it to Yarin the rest remained in the Ikron system. 2 of the Federations 4 cruisers had been sent their one remained outside the system in the nebula patrolling while the other was in Ikron. Over the planet a shipyard was being built and soon a space station would be built to.
