OOC: This is an RP between members of the region. Anyone can comment, but direct intervention is restricted to locals and those with a reason to be nearby. Warmongering within this thread is discouraged. New nations must RP their entry. If you tech is above our (just past light speed levels) you should spot us first, otherwise as we would be more advanced we wopuld spot you and youd have to leave it to us.

IC:

The orange state corvettes turned about, glimmering in the sunlight. This edge of the system was surprisingly bright without the debris coulds obscuring the sun, despite the distance from the sun that they were at.

Their huge bulk dwarfed all the objects that far out of the system but they were not the largest ships of war in the fleet, jnust the most able to scout and patrol. Not that anything had ever been found before.

Captain Edwards sat in the bridge, it was sparse and efficient, but he was well paid for his work and his huge bank accoun t made it all worth it. He could squander his money impressing the ladies at home with stories of things he hadnt really seen and his many cards. But really, he wanted soemthing exciting to say.

Suddenly the monitor beelped in front of him, the communications officer turning and looking shocked beside him.

"Captain?"
"Yes Midshipman? What is it?"
"Sir," the nervous young man replied, looking positively proud of himself "an object, its moving, unbder its own power and its not one of ours"

He had imagined this day for years, but admittantly he had not expected the shabby little vessel ahead. It was definately equipped to fight back, but it made the ship he flew, still well behind the legendary ships of the ancient past, look glorious. But it had made it.

He pressed the hail button and began transmitting on all frequencies hoping for a result.

"this is the Fearless, an orange state vessel, we do not mean to be a threat, but unless you identify your purpose military doctrine suggests we shall immobilise and board your vessel"

The midshipman had already notified the accompanying ship, the dominant, of the situation, her sensors has only just made the contact.

The reply came. To the captain's surprise it was ina slightly straneg dialect, but his nation's language....

We, the dark places would like to trade with you and started a alliance.

this is the corvette, the hammerhead, and we are on a mission to examine the movement within your system. We came from the ruins of a destroyed colony and wish to know about our past. We have just reached space technology.


Captain Smith noticed the ship used a simular but more advanced technology to his own, the simular language amazed him...

To dark places: Several Months later.

The orange state and dark places trade had begun, each sending transports to and from eachother. However with our travel speeds it was still taking over a year each way.

Previously we had begun building a gate that allowed fatser travel, by altering the laws of physics between two point, if the gates where passed through. This however had received little funding or testing as we hadnt needed it yet.

However it would sucessfully send communications through and ships too. Making travel between our systems (which are nearly adjacent) happen in a handful of minutes, and with gates built accross the region we could trade feasibly.

We will begin testing and building these in nearby space. Then we will send vessels to all neighbours who agree to trade as well as putting a few around for convienient travel.

Let the deep space age begin.

We will begin research onm such a unti mounted on ships, but dont expect results for a long time yet, with it being mounted on smaller ships not being t all likely for many decades.

CamIII: Your fleet may need some supplies, please feel free to trade. We are interested into insight in the above technologies and would give you tonnes of food and water and raw materials in exchange for a few scraps of useful knowledge. There are a few sysytems nearby that support life and these supplies should help you survive and settle in. Or is this area familiar to your nation?

To orange state thank you for the offer to trade I would like two know how much help do you need,also I would like to know what kind of things you would trade with? from the places of darkness.

OOC: you dont need to sya who you are, its says so on the post anyway...

IC: We can supply metals, due to our colony on the edge of the system, we would import any new species that could provide us with food, whether of plant or animal. Our planet was terraformed so we only have Earth life forms and a few new variations (our Orange parrots are much larger than the Earth species for instance).

We will send a small fleet for construction of a gate to your planet in about one year as we have to finish testing on the set in our system. You hail a gate and request which gate you wish to go to, so all will be set up at our end soon. It should arrive in about two years time and be finsihed a mere few weeks later.

OOC:*intermission* Advert: If this thread seems appealing to you or you are a new future tech nation who wants to slowly advance into your own technology, please join the Eastern Galactic Centre We are a region located in the Eastern Galactic core and formed from rogue nations and the remanents of a once huge nation who no longer exist. If you are interested in being future (space) tech, but havent started yet just join the region and join this thread.*intermission ends*

IC: Confirmation has been received via telegram research is finished. THe gate will be arriving and then made soon (a few RL days)

OOC: Sorry for being late.

IC: The 500 vessals dropped out of warp and scaned the area before de-cloaking.
Sir, picking up mutliple ships!
Ant Sephrioths?
Yes, he is here.
Good, send out this message

To: All ships
From: Cam III ships
We mean no harm, we are here to set up a colony. We will need lots of materials and food. I belive you can provide?

Message sent sir.
Good, contact Prospero. Tell them they can come.

A massive warp window opened and a planet droped out of it. This was no planet, it was a metalic sphere. It had seas and land placed on top of it. The inhabitats were all Camian. This was there home planet.

the cam III ships are making an attack run sir says a bezerker weapons offcier on board the ballance of power deploy ten thousand scram jets to disable all cam III ships says the comander aye sire the weapons offcier says
Cam III
07-08-2004, 11:04
OOC: No, I was being peaceful but if you want it you got it!

IC: Incoming weapons, sir!
The scram jets impacted into some of the ships. The shields were too strong for many of the scram jets, but at least 125 slamed into an Pelennor cruiser. The result was a destroyed ship, with no port side, it was blown off.
Who fired those shots?!
Sephrioth ships, sir.
What! Damn it. What damage have we taken?
Minimal sir, one cruiser destroyed.
Good, open fire with all weapons!

The 999 ships manouvered into a firing position and opend fire with everything they had. The cruisers fired at least, between them, 10 million lasers and 1,000,000,000 missiles, manily thermonuclear. The Blackstone fortress, the most powerful weapons platform in the fleet, opened fire with their 4 superlasers, 400 shots in total. They were fired at The Warspite and Ballance Of Power. To finish it off The Planet Killers, the most powerful ships in the fleet (Yes, they can acctuly destroy a planet!), opened fire with their 10 Marco Cannans each, 5000 in total at any remaining ships. (OOC: That lot of fire could easily destroy all of your ships Seph)
Weapons fired, sir!
Good, prepare for another salvo, and brace for any return fire.
But, sir, I don't think any fleet could survive that!
Well, you never know. They could come back with: "My shields are uber-strong and can withstand anything!"

The ships cloaked and oved off from their orignal position. They were no where to be seen.
Take us around the back of the Sephrioth ships and then de-cloak!
Yes my lord!

A small salvage fleet had been sent to recover technology and scrap that the Camians dont want.

Three salavge ships and an escort of three corvettes and a single destroyer. In case hostiles remain.

The research teams were exited, sergeant Amphlox could feel it. Geneeath his calm exteriro he was too. Contact with another race, twice in two years! It was incredible. He readied his squad of marines, they all looked calm like him. they may be needed at any point, but hopefully they wouldnt. He could see the same look in their eyes, they may be a 2 metre tall super humans, due to a treatment given when they joined the army, all wearing armour that could stop a gunpowder projectile without even denting, but they were all exited and nervouse. The ridges on their chest plates shining brighter than ever, as they were ready to impress, they could be on national media vision in a few weeks and they were meeting a new and advanced race. they had to impress.

07-08-2004, 17:37
Ships incoming!
Orange State?
Yes, they are headed towards the destroyed cruiser!
Damn it! Send a Desolater BattleBarge!
Yes my lord.

A Desolater cloaked and moved away from the fleet and headed towards the Pelannor cruiser.

Why are we going to that?
There are ships trying to take it away with them!
Shall I prepare the marines?
Yes, I hope we won't need them.
The 100 marines on board readyed them selves in the boarding torpedoes, to be fired soon.

----1 hour later----
The Desolater had spotted the small ships nearing the destoryed cruiser. The Desolater closed in on their position, still cloaked.
Fire the torpedoes!
Aye sir!
The ship de-cloaked and the torpedoes were fired. They homed in on the ships and slamed into the port sides of the corvettes. The boarding lasers melted a portion of the hull and the marines entered.
Take up defensive positions!
There is no one here!
There will be.

aim at the leads ships weapons and disable them dont uses it at full power
Cam III
08-08-2004, 11:32
Oh hell no!
What!?
Our lead was destroyed by a massive laser!
By what?
The Warspite!
Damn! open fire on it!

The 8 planet killers opend fire on the warspite with all 80 Nova Cannons. (NOTE: These weapons are cabable of destroying an entire planet).
That should do some damage!
Shall I move in the boarding craft?
Yes, I think that would be a good adtion to our fleet.

The Radier escorst moved closer to the Warspite, some being shot down by close weapons fire. They moved within range and fired the boarding torpedoes. They latched on to the hull, near the bridge. In total 200 torpedoes hit the hull. They disintergrated the hull and the 2000 marines enterd the ship.
To the bridge, men!
What about the Berzerkers?
Go for the head, I hear they can't regenerate that!
The marines moved of to the bridge, killing Berzerkers were they went. The berzerkers also had some fun, killing in total 123 marines to only 23 Berzekers. (Thats fair Seph) They had reached the bridge within minutes.
Right men, move in killing anything that moves, we need this ship!
Aye! The marines cheered.
They entired they bridge, shooting wildly. They weren't aiming at anything in particular, just shooting in the general direction of the members in the bridge.

While the war continued the other nations had been coexisting peacefully.

The jump gate between OS and the Dark places was fjnnally ready for opening. The test was actually intiated a few minutes before as data streamed through the gates arrriving in seconds rather than hours, the huge ring came on line and began to transmit to the nearby vessels. At the other end, in the time that had gone jump drives for larger vessels were already a feasible possibility, but for the standard trader this gate meant a whole new market. And to the civilians it meant a new holiday destination.

At the orange end Captain Syntegra was checking his ship, a small unarmed light fighter class vessel, its weapons replaced by a small cargo of champagne for the celebration afterwards. The long narrow hull and thin reinforced wings made the fighte resemble a bird, but only vaguely, it was high performance vessel and appearnace was not a factor, it was more of a seagull than an eagle. But it was shining beautifully in the sun. Then the signal came, 500 million people accross 2 systems were watching this now, the gate was online.
"Captain, you are clear, transm,it the destination coordinates now, remember that this gate will link several ways. Outwards, Our counterparts have the other end ready and the inwards gate is ready. See you later this week and good luck"
With that he fired up the engines and cruised into the gate, there was a small flash and he dishapeared.

A few seconds later the inwards gate flashed and a small fighter appeared.

" this is The places of darkness light fighter Tp12 all systmes are good, the jump was perfect.. wait... its good at both ends. We have sucess! The agte is online"

Both pilots celebrated and were famous by the morning.

Trade lanes had opened by then too and a new trading partnership had begun, despite the chaos at the other end of the region.
Cam III

Sir, Orange States and Places of Darkness have got a trading gate going.
Good for them. We'll see it later, we have a war to finish.

Orange state technology has been enjoying huge boosts around much more advanced nations, bits of wreckage have drifted our way (as after a ship explodes the bits would just keep going until they reach a gravity feild of significant strength) we have also bought some help from CAMIII which should be useful as they know most of the stuff we want to find out anyway.

By the time things stabilize we should be able to send ships without gates.

"Hmm" Said Commandante Silmarithil Ordorni.

"Give me ops on the species in the system. Mon-Keigh?"

"Yes Commandante, but one thing. We are detecting warring ships. All Mon-Keigh of course..."

"Lots of weaponry being fired there. Sephiriothian and that must mean Cam III. So..."

"Shall we bring her in for a closer look?" The helmsman enquired.

"Take us to port 679*."

The Courier ship slowly started to turn around. It's scanners pulsed regularly. Trying to find the ships on visual.....

11-08-2004, 14:01
the vengence has a large warp core more then enough to keep the vital systems active and fire the hades at full power
sir they ar escaping says the helmsman do you want me to plot an intercept course
make it so the captian orders the vengance follows the Commorarghian

with a military budget that is only fractionally larger (about 10%) than mine, I dont see how you could afford such vessel, welkk actually i cant see how you would afford such a vessel with the entire GDP of AMF, who incidentally doesnt godmode.

Unless you skimped on armour and sheilds and defenses., I mean the metal alone to make such a thing with 1 cm sheet metal and leave it hollow would probably bankrupt you. The beam is probably a torch too. We throw a small stone at it and watch it punch through the armour. and out the other side of this hollow ball. The stone has ignore written on it.

Watch it or you might find yourself ejected from the region, i was hoping for some RPers TBH. Not someone who instantly beams in and launches 77777777 godmod torpedos...
