Intro..

Here it was, the product of years of confidential galactic searching and revolutionary trans-galactic slipgate tunneling, a previously undiscovered, habitable galaxy the Trailarii could claim as their own. It had been christened Kerbos after the Traileric capital city. It was a disk form galaxy, and on its last legs. A third of the size of, and much older than the Milky Way, it had been mostly eaten by the supermassive blackhole that had replaced what was once to core of this galaxy, the rings of starclusters that made up its mass slowly revolving around this bottomless gravitywell. Other races having journeyed before the era of Traileric expansion had passed it by because of this, believing it to be fruitless. But the Trailarii were very shrewd in matters of squeezing every last available resource out of an area, and hence, years of effort had been poured into a trans-galactic hyperjump drive fitted to a modified Juggernaught, known as the 'Harbinger'. This was the home of the brave crew destined to bring in a new age of enlightenment, discovery, and ultimately shake the very foundations of all the Trailarii knew about their origins, and their Gods..

Planet: Neo-Trailaris, Kerbos Galaxy

Quarter Admiral Dinur Kthda looked out of his window at the planet slowly rotating below him. A sigh of frustration escaped his lips. Thirty days of scouring the only planet that could possibly support life as we know it, and not a thing to send home. His scientists assured him they would most certainly would uncover something any day now. Fools hadn't even been to the surface themselves, had simply kept asking soil samples. By now they must have enough tonnage of samples taken from the planet to cause the mammoth vessel to lose altitude. His lids slowly drifted close and he leaned back in his chair to nap.

OoC: All have massive black holes, but uber-huge ones occur most commonly in disk type galaxies, and black holes don't die. o.O They just eat. And a galaxy is not toohigh and mighty to at the end of its lifetime be pulled into the anomoly that birthed it, eh? =P

OOC: All the more reason for you to get out of my thread. -.-'

IC:

A sound much like a rifle report echoed across the frozen arctic waste of Neo-Trailaris. This sound was actually the sound of thin, long-frozen ice fracturing under the weight of a combat-suit. Colonel Ashram Tirthsa looked groggily at the hole of sunlight directly above him. His slightly jarred radio complained and crackled a chorus of worried voices. Slowly he sat up and looked around. It seemed her had fallen through a thin patch of ice into an unseen cavern. Funny, the scanning crews hadn't reported any air pockets in this sector. These were just a few of many thoughts buzzing through his head. He stood up, activated his comm unit.
'I'm fine, quit gawking and get me a ladder or something.' he said into his comm. As his platoon scurried about trying to get him some retrieval equipment, something caught his eye. He walked over to one of the walls and inspected it. He found that across the wall were long lines of some alien language! The colonel keyed in his comm,
'Thaktu, get a linguist and geologics team down here, double time!'
