Map of Dratherian parts of the galaxy
OOC So my favorite game is the Wing Commander series so I am modeling an entire galaxy known as the Centurion Galaxy after the map of Wing Commander. This is where my nation is. So if anyone wants to be in this galaxy TG me or post on this thread with which Sector, Quadrant, And System then name the planets in those systems. Look under the Universe map. Oh and the lines on the map are FTL Routes keep in mind this is a galaxy.

We are in the Tyr System in Vega Sector Downing Quadrant and posess all of Vega Sector.

The Galactic Map (http://www.wcnews.com/maps/)

I would like one planet-system near any edge of the full map. Something with only one jump point leading to it. It contains Draconis Prime with one moon, Draconis Secondus with three moons, and Isha's Eye, which is a large nebula near the jump point that contains an asteroid field. Each moon is labeled after the planet followed by a letter in order from A-Z, in approximation with the planet (the closer ones get priority of letter). Draconis Prime is closest to the sun, Draconis Secondus is between Draconis Prime and Isha's Eye, Isha's Eye is the farthest from the sun and closest to the jump point.

Landreich Sector - Hralgkrak Quadrant
http://www.wcnews.com/maps/landreich-2.htm

See it as the initial stages of a Chronosian expansion/invasion. Its vast and well connected, perfect for the needs of the Imperium

To the Draconic Order we will give you the McLean system in the Argent Sector Rod Quadrant

claims one of these:

Hari

Grajeda

McLean
http://www.wcnews.com/maps/argent-4.htm

Theta'C Orionis
http://www.wcnews.com/maps/avalon-4.htm

To the Draconic Order we will give you the McLean system in the Argent Sector Rod Quadrant

ok

Is my request accepted?

To Chronosia: Yes

Is my request accepted?

shouldn't you claim one place on it first, then wait until its safe to lay claim to the rest of it?

I am, I'm holding one quadrant, until its safe ;)

To Chronosia: Yes

looks like you get the quadrant

Actually we will give Draconic Order a different system as the McLean System does not meet their needs also people are welcome to have Hari but remember it is a dead quadrant. The system we will give to the Draconic Order is Theta'C Orionis.

For Spacial conditions such as Nebuli look at the detailed map (ftp://ftp.wcnews.com/files/wcp/wcum.jpg)

Also if you expand further than what you were originally assigned post it on this thread. For my knowledge.

gotcha, between hawking and avalon sectors

Is this a seperate FT galaxy/universe/ying-yang thing or a part of the normal NS FT setups? If the latter, how does my Republic fit into all this?

Kinda wana get a touch more detail before I say: "I calim this in the name of humanity, that is my own version that isn't your's, so there. *raspberry* "

Well we finally have some sense of order now. I'll only interact now with those that have claims on the map... We'll just use this map to figure out where everyone is, it makes rping better.

on the detailed map, the system claimed by Chronosia is below what is shown

This is a different galaxy in the NS universe even though it is the Milky Way in the Wing Commander series. This galaxy is made for anyone of any type of tech. Further more I will establish a Prime Directive of non-agression with pre-FTL nations unless otherwise provoked. Also keep in mind this map is only one arm in the galaxy. And I will use the Armada map after we fill up the first.

So, when do we start RPing?

At the time that map had been created the Landreich were not known to have existed the Full Map is what was found through the entire series (excluding the Armada Map)

What's the difference between the Original and Armada maps? And Armada Sector One looks interesting to moi.

This thread is used to explore a new galaxy and create a formalized map u can start RP threads from this.

Armada was an expansion in the battle for the galaxy and took place towards the end of the Kilrah War

So, when do we start RPing?

well, I wouldn't rp here, this is for OOC stuff and establishing the map and so forth... I think we should set up rps elsewhere but link to here for more info... closed to those who have not claimed a part of the map

Is it alright to attach my current setup to this one? It would fit into my rp Boson Fold Drive experiments to jump to new galaxies altogether.

And forget the Sector One bit if it's not valid yet.

To Gaian Ascendancy: Yes it is alright to attach your current setup to this galaxy or even to just expand into it.

If it's still open..

Epsilon Sector ---> Deneb Quadrant ---> Epsilon Prima System

If not, I'll find another system to start from. Kinda hard to tell who's got what system and or quadriant at the moment. If it's ok, and you need a new name, call it the Solinar Prime System. Otherwise just keep the original name. We'll expand from there.

Well if the foshko sector in Avalon is still available .. we would like to claim that :P

Alright your claims have been recorded. The black Sectors are unexplored and not available as I plan to use them in an RP as soon as there is a large enough ft presence. Also Gold colored Systems are unexplored systems and are available.

Alright your claims have been recorded.

are you going to create a new starmap with the claims listed? it would be good if you can white out all the systems not taken, and colorize the ones that are taken

((bump))

No I am compiling a list however to post on here in a short time maybe a day and it will be updated everytime someone gets a new claim.

((bump))

((bump))

((bump))

I would like to claim one of these-

1st Choice- Hawking Sector- Saab Quadrent-Burnet
2nd Choice - Enigma Sector- Asimov Quadrent-Card


Also what is the average size of military ship or are we gonna go crazy and just build our fleets.

Alright you can do whatever you want with your claim as long as it doesn't interfere with the space/time continuum or an MT or PT nation unless otherwise provoked. This is a thread used to set up RPs in the Centurion Galaxy. Those threads can only be entered into by the claim holders or by the allies (previous to RP) of the claim holders.

Panmar you can have your first choice

What about ships?

What size is the max, what is the minimum, or do we just go crazy?

Whatever your territory can hold is your max. But keep in mind any expansion past your claim must be reported either on this thread or through telegram to me.

This looks interesting. Put my system Riiss' Sslash A,B,C & D in an area rich in life bearing worlds - or at least worlds that can be terraformed (The Sskiss are master terraformers).

Thanks in advance.

Trk'Pahn Sector-H'hriss Quadrant-Trk'Pahn, Bukrag, Turing, Oargth Systems: Sskiss

What's the offical title indicator to use in creation of threads? (i.e. *Thread Title* [Earth majillion-bajillian FT/MT/DT XXXXXXXXXXXXXI] )

Just mention that it is in the Centurion Glaxy in the thread title and as I said before mention that it is only open to the claim holders, allies thereof, and sometimes with special circumstances. Unless in case of outside invasion.

Hey.. Hit me with a decent quadrant .. Your choice :D... Im Inclined to something out of the way.. but quite full .. if you get what im saying.

By the way clear special circumstances with me and allies must be allies before the RP or be allies made in the Galaxy during the RP

Gemini Sector-Fariss Quadrant: Arenumberg

Hmm.. Famine, Death and Pestilence Systems may need to be renamed... lol.

I would like

Argent Sector - Hughes Quadrant -Centauri.
a second choice would be
Fujimori
a third choice:
Pandey

Argent Sector - Hughes Quadrant -Centauri: L E F

Burnet Proxima- It is the closet planet to Burnet Star. Not a very inviting planet, however it is ideal for industrial ventures. The surface is covered in vast industrial complexes. In orbit is a total of 236 Capital Ship Dry Docks. Each one is capable of producing a capital ship independently. The Government only maintains constant control on 36 of the dry docks. The others can be seized in times of war, but in times of peace they are owned by civilian companies.

Burnet Prime- The oldest populated planet in system. Earth like is the best way to describe it. The majority of people live here.

Burnet Asteroid Belt- An asteroid belt, the resources here aren’t used much however a system is in place to move asteroids to Burnet Proxima, were they will be mined or other appropriate usage.

Burnet Procul- The largest planet in the solar system, it is a gas giant. It has 26 moons but only two are habited.
Procul Gelu- This moon is mostly covered with ice. It is used as a military instillation, with testing facilities, marine Barracks, and many other things.

Procul Terra- Renamed Procul Terra when the terraforming began. The moon is an experiment; if it works eventually the other 24 moons will be terraformed to be used as colonies

That Hari sector seems ripe for mineing.

Well you can have Hari but be aware that it is a lifeless blasted sector bascially its only real use woud be some mining and shakedowns and test runs. What happened in Wing Commander was that the Hari went to war with Kilrha and got utterly annihilated by their dreadnoughts (able to destroy 41% of the surface of a normal planet) which I recreated in my Phoenix-class Dreadnought.

Yep quite aware what they did.

Still it would make a good place for mineing, and who knows perhaps I will set up a testing ground.

Being a Nomadic race we use Moble space stations and fleet command ships to house our people. Dead systems are a plus to us, no one can complain should there moon go missing.

And just to clear things up are we talking the whole sector or just a quadrent of it?

Hari Sector to Somtaaw

What happened in the Epsilon Sector? Looks like a major war front area I chose for a start place.

What are you talking about Gaian Ascendancy

hmm wil lthere be a map ? of who has what i mean marked..

eventually I will construct a map but for awhile there will be a list as follows

Landreich Sector-Hralgkrak Quadrant: Chronosia
Avalon Sector-Bing Quadrant-Theta'C Orionis System: Draconic Order
Epsilon Sector-Deneb Quadrant-Epsilon Prime System: Gaian Ascendancy
Avalon Sector-Foshko Quadrant: The Federal Union
Vega Sector: Dratheria
Hawking Sector-Saab Quadrant-Burnet System: Panmar
Trk'Pahn Sector-H'hriss Quadrant-Trk'Pahn, Bukrag, Turing, and Oargth Systems: Sskiss
Gemini Sector-Fariss Quadrant: Arenumberg
Argent Sector-Hughes Quadrant-Centauri System: L E F
Hari Sector: Somtaaw

((bump))

Hawking Sector - Hubble Quadrant

and

Hawking Sector - Ladyman Quadrant

If you don't mind.

Hawking Sector–Hubble and Ladyman Quadrant: Industrial Experiment

What are you talking about Gaian Ascendancy

You mentioned what happened in the Hari quadrant. Was wondering the same for my quadrant. Might prove interesting for future rps in the area. =^^=

No however the Kilrah clashed many times with the Confed troops in that sector

((Bump... I'll continue my Draconis Rising rp later to include the info of the map, expanding into the next system.))

Excellent, now, with my new Quadrant xD
I shall begin RPing soon

http://www.wcnews.com/maps/vukartag-3.htm

That is mine

I don't suppose I could claim the Gemini sector: Clarke quadrant? If that's too much, I'll settle for just Perry.

people are taking entire quadrants quickly... sometimes I wonder if that is a good idea or not, given their relative populations...

I will give out a couple more quadrants then I will stop for a short time. Then I will open the Armada Map up

(OOC) I would reply better to your RP start but your too far to be conisidered a threat at the moment. I am sure you would have no reasion to mess with my dead sector and all of it's vast dead worlds. The cats sure were methoidical in killing every thing.


Oh and FYI I RP Most Somtaaw (http://well-of-souls.com/homeworld/hws/somtaaw/index.html) and Hiigaran (http://well-of-souls.com/homeworld/hws/hw2/index_hiigaran.html)

Chronosia is very far from my neck of the woods as well. I'm located within the H'hriss Quadrent - were practically on opposite sides of the galaxy.

Yah you have to modifie them to fit in seeing as the bigist ships we got would be out guned by most nations corvets.


As soon as I can find a place to stick them I will show some of the custome ships.

You could make on easily enough or purchase one

Actually, I also use the Hiigaran models for my ten droid support Republic Fleets, including Motherships. =^^=

hey Gaian when are you going to finish you mecha thread

By the way, does it matter if we use a different nation than our main FT nation for this Galaxy?

no as I said it can be FT or PT or MT but I do have to have the name of your nation that will be using it

Sol Sector Terra and Roan Quadrant goes to Alpha Tauri (My Dad's Nation)

Can you please tell me:
Are there any rules regarding this RP ? I mean already we have a large disproportion of forces because some nations have a system others up to a whole sector so what kind of ships can we use( can you give me a site where the ships from this game are shown) ? Can we make completely new ships ? If so what will happen when somebody claims he has 1000 of the most powerful ships in the galaxy and has an escort of a million etc.

Most important can we all agree that if two system are not connected no ship can travel between them? I mean I don’t want to role play that I have huge defenses around the gate and then to have a player saying that he will jump right behind them and take me by surprise and destroy them.

It just a thought. Tell me what you

All very good questions. Yep I have a whole sector but it's a dead seactor and my entire race is in space stations thru out it. How ever I have no clue abought the Way travle between systems is done eather.

I think it's a mater of the lines mark the direct maped out way to each system, after all it's kind of hard to show space in a 2d map.

(IE) 2 systems might look real close on a 2d but they could have a great deal of distance in the 3d.

The way you defend your jump points is up to you but I suggest you usea way to stop FTL at your defenses like I do. And this is a setup thread for A galaxy that RPs will take place in. And as with any military kep your forces within realistic standards. Mine is a flett 0f over 140 ships but that is because I purchased 70 of them for real cheap the lines are the FTL Travel routes there is no other way to travel FTL except those points

When ships move FTL from a system to another system can they aprear anywhere in the sytem?


Somtaaw, It’s not you that I’m worried about. You are a nomadic race and even if we fight and I lose it won’t that bad unless you wipe out my entire population or you decide to settle on my planets.

Yes once you get past the Jump point. However I have Interdictor Battle Stations to stop my enemies from getting past the jump points

Heres how I go about it. Like most games and movies where there is jump points involved, all jump points are between two identifyable locations, creating a line between systems. When a ship jumps between two systems, they move through one location, through a corridor/cylinder of space (the line between the two systems), and exit through the other location (and only through that location, no where else in the system)... Like opening a door, walking down the connecting hallway between the door you just came through and the other door, and exiting through the 2nd door. That way, one could put up a plausable defense at the point that they come through, usually marked by a nebula or large empty expanse. One could create a computer program that shows the enter/exit point as a large ring or sphere in the sensors.

On another note, I was wondering if Somtaaw would like to build a gateway between my system and one of his/hers.

It just a thought. Tell me what you

-We may use whatever designs we want, although, most wont acknowledge obviously god moded designs...

-Try to keep numbers of ships down, especially if one doesn't have a huge population. A hundred military ships will need twice that or more in logistic support and a lot of manpower... probably around a million or so personel. (Find out what 1% of your population is, that is how much would be in a standing army)

-Read what I stated about jump points above.

SO is that a no on the Gate thingy? That is sort of a ancient tech as far as the somtaaw are conserned any ways and if I want to be in contact with others the long way is cool too.

At least I still got FTL coms. At least with my ships and any one I give a Interlink to.

I will be posting my fleet info soon (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=406150), along with a bit of background on the ships.

Just to let you know most of my HW'2 ships were Aquired from a civil war with another kiith way back.

On another note, I was wondering if Somtaaw would like to build a gateway between my system and one of his/hers.

The Federal Republic Department of Defense would like to lay claim to TCSC1602, in Savage Quadrant, Argent Sector. Astronomers at a powerful obervatory in the mountains of Bonstock (located on Earth, Sol System, I guess) have detected a watery, Earth-sized planet that should support human life. A colony ship will be dispatched to lay claim to it, though it will take many years to get there.

By the way, according to our population, this claim never existed, and nor did any extra-terrestrial or future type civilization. We like our population not to freak out.

Ummmmm...Huh?
