Zactarn Prime is located in a small cluster of asteroids and unexplored planets. Zactarn Prime sent out a transport ship with part of their army and some civilians to find one of these unknown and uncharted planets. The ship has just landed and reported that people are living on this planet. These people call it Klaejeel. We have found ourselves in a problem. Do we turn back and look for another planet, enslave these people and take over, or do we make piece with them and coincide here.

It depends, do you want to enslave them, make peaceful contact, or just let them grow, how you choose may have lasting effects on your culture.

see i don't know what i should do. i could enslave and add to my popuation. i could coincide and make a possibly strong ally depending on the rest of the planet, or i could move to another planet where no one is see these are all good plans but i don't know which one to go with i need a couple of opinions.

But it depends on what you want to do. Do you want to remain "neutral," leaving them to develop on their own, be "good" and help them develop their technologies to greater levels, or be "evil" and enslave them?

Do you want your nation to go in a warlike/dictatorial role, a star trek prime directive role, or a 'good guy' role?

Yep...We can't decide these things. You need to decide really on what kind of nation you're aiming for.

We have decided to offer an alliance with the natives and to help them further their planet.


OOC: remember this is an open rp someone can jump in as the crazy natives and deny the alliance or come as another group of people to arrive on the planet.

a scout class Saucer landed on the planet, two little green men walked out, they carried what seemed to be bundles of probes, they began to look around for a lifeform to probe, they found an alien species who seemed to also be searching the planet, the little green men got out their "unilator" (universal translator) and began to translate the following message "we come in peace!" They were quite depressed that they would now not be using their anal probers but decided that peace was better.

(OOC: offering peace)

As we were scowering the planet we observed two very little green men that looked as though they were carrying anal probes. they offered us peace and we accepted for two reasons. 1 the more friends the better and 2 they had anal probes that didn't look like fun.

the two green men were happy that they had made freinds and decided to put the anal probes away, they asked if they could take one of the natives for anal probing because they didn't want to leave empty handed.

Are men thought about the peace treaty with the natives and said to themselves "well one can't hurt and it's better them than us". they asked the little green men if they wanted a male or female and of what age.

the green men responded "any and either, we will return them soon, but its a national hobby, and you can't beat tradition." The green men would have been smiling if it wern't for the fact that they lacked the muscles required to form emotion.

(OOC: i am little green men, im just the puppet master)

The men returned with an 86 year old women named Glucave and gave her to the green men.

All of a sudden a heard of the natives came and started attacking the ship as the little green dudes were about to leave.

(OOC: All of a sudden a heard of the natives came and started attacking the ship is that my ship? If so then; )

well the saucer wasn't built for duribility and it came to the ground with a thud, the 2 little green men got out, they were angry and armed, they pilled out their rayguns and began to fire at the natives

(OOC: the green men can be swamped by the natives)

the natives one by one were blasted to hell by the little green men. The little green men and our citizens and ground troops decided to colonize this now uninhabited planet.

"so how are we gonna divide this planet?" one of the Green men asked, the other was cleaning blood off of an anal probe.

The Monarchial Assembly of Makaar is disgusted by the actions of your nation. We have se the genocide and have already dispatched the 83rd Royal Stellar Navy Corps fleet -

1 x Kingdom class Super Battleship
2 x Queendom class Battleships
4 x Principality class Heavy Cruisers
8 x Dukedom class Light Cruisers
120 x Mace class heavy fighters

They will arrive within the hour to remove your forces and rescue any survivors. We suggest you leave peacefully - if your forces leave the planet peacefully, we will not fire upon you.

"well we number currently 2 men on this planet, but we'll be back, for now we leave, except our ship is broken, any chance you could give us a lift?"

Yes we can give you a lift but our ship needs fuel and repairs plus if 1 of the enemy ships sees us they will surly shoot us down so we will take you to Zactarn Prime.

see i don't know what i should do. i could enslave and add to my popuation. i could coincide and make a possibly strong ally depending on the rest of the planet, or i could move to another planet where no one is see these are all good plans but i don't know which one to go with i need a couple of opinions.

Why don't you just blow 'em up?

The fleet drops out of warp, engaging shields. Most of the fleet remains floating in space, but the Kingdom-class battlecruiser moves to orbit the planet. It replies to the message sent out by the Really Small Green Men.

"We will give you a Type-0 shuttlecraft to make your way back to your planet. It is unarmed and we will wipe its databanks before you get it. It has enough room for 5 men and fuel and oxygen supplies for a two-month journey. You may keep the shuttle - consider it a gift from the Assembly. HMMS Bryolie out."

High in orbit, squadrons of fighters were launched into the atmosphere to survey the damage done by the attacking forces, and marines prepared to go to the planet's surface.

(OOC: Why don't you just blow 'em up? cos i did)

"excellent, now do you happen to have any form of interstellar communications with which we could use to communicate with our empire to tell them of this planet?" The Little green man asked whilst his collegue continued to wipe clean the anal probe

"We do have interstellar communications, but not on the shuttle," the captain said. "You will have to send a message to us and we will relay it. Please note that this planet is now a territorial annex of the Makaarian Assembly and we will not tolerate any military activity from your empire in this sector. You will not return with any form of armed craft. We will, however, allow you to set up scientific and farming colonies on the planet surface - providing that you agree that they will be guarded by Makaarian soldiers."

OOC: My population - 1.201 billion
My Space Corps/Stellar Marines military numbers: 4 million

You will have to come back to Zactarn Prime then cintact your planet but we cannot blow this planet up it has a water supply that Zactarn Prime does not posses. We will buid an interplanetarian irrogation system made out of Zactarn Primian Metal so that Zactarn Prime may get the water it desperatly needs.

(OOC: cos i did)

"excellent, now do you happen to have any form of interstellar communications with which we could use to communicate with our empire to tell them of this planet?" The Little green man asked whilst his collegue continued to wipe clean the anal probe

ILBCNU

"Of course," the Captain continued. "But we do not expect to see you in this sector again, and I will file with the Assembly to ban trade with your nation after this act of genocide. Consider yourself an enemy of the Assembly. As I said, any military presence here will be destroyed immediately."

(OOC: "excellent, now do you happen to have any form of interstellar communications with which we could use to communicate with our empire to tell them of this planet?" The Little green man asked whilst his collegue continued to wipe clean the anal probe

this was directed at Zactarn Prime who offered travel first, ill have to decline Makaar's offer and go with Zactarn Prime's)

OOC: Oh, sorry. He replied while I was still posting and I didn't see his post. Well, just disregard the post concerning travel.

(OOC: s'cool dude, and just for the record, i only killed the natives cos they attacked me first)

Splendid we will begin building the irrogation system after getting the little green men back to Zactarn Prime. As a token of our appreciation we would like to form an alliance with the little green men and we will allow you to build a colony on our planet.

Also, be certain to lubricate the seventh fitzer valve and tighten the tension and torque bolt 1/4 turn to 70-75 ft. lbs.

"we would be honoured to build a colony on your planet and once we have word from our illustrious leader we may or may not sign an alliance depending on what the leader says."

We hope that your leader will accept our offer because we have alot of allies ourselves and we would love to have you on our side as well

OOC:

I'm sorry, were you trying to be funny or just technical? It's irritating when people but into threads like this because they think it's funny to do stuff like that.

IC:

"Very well. As I said, this planet is now a territorial annex of the Makaarian Assembly and any military will be destroyed. You have been warned."

The Makaarian Assembly will draft in the following to help with planetary defence:

6 x Immense-class troop transports
6 x Council-class patrol cruisers
6,000 Stellar Marines

Unfortunately, they are being drafted in from other colonies, and so will arrive in small stages. The first troop transport will arrive in two days, and the last will arrive in four.

The spot on where the colony will be, will be placed in between the Pondearvich Mountains to the East and the Raquill Mountains to the West. There is a huge lake named Lake Crancove that is to the south. There is a huge amount of farmland to the north that has very rich and hard to find soil. The rest of the area is very large and we reccomend you build your colony here.

The Colony will receve federal funding from Zactarn Prime

"Captain, we're intercepting a message," the Lieutenant called from his forward station. The captain turned in his chair towards it. "Summarise it for me," he said. The lieutenant listened to the messages. "Makaar sent a fleet to a remote planet...er...Zactarn Prime attacked the planet...the rest is just static, sir. Sorry."

"Do you have the co-ordinates of the transmission? Run them into the helm!" the captian cried. The lieuteant keyed in the commands and the ship rumbled as the engines kicked into life.

"We're now at maximum speed, charging warp engines," the lieutenant reported. "Activate cloaking shields and prepare to arm weapons. We're running on stealth mode. All hands, beat to quarters."

A bell sounded as crewmembers rushed onto the bridge and took their stations. "And lieutenant, change our registry to comply with Makaarian military registries." The captain sat back in his seat. "There's loot to be had here, and we're going to sieze it!"

Outside the ship, as the cloaking shields engaged, one could see a Makaarian registry number appear on the hull before the ship finally disappeared and jumped to warp.

The Transport ship blasted off and is racing towards Zactarn Prime they will arrive on Zactarn Prime in about 13 miutes

"Captain, transport ship at bearing 003 mark 4! They're almost dead ahead, and they're heading straight for us!"

The captain stood. "Any escorts?" he asked. The lieutenant checked his readings. "None...unless they're cloaked."

"Hmmm...Makaar doesn't use cloakng devices, except in intelligence satellites, and they're unarmed. This is going to be too easy," he said. "Change our heading to intercept. Disengage cloaking shields and charge weapons. Have boarding parties assembled. We'll take whatever resources we can, head back to the Shipyard and buy ourselves a better ship." He moved to the tactical station. "Ah...a day in the life of a Makaarian Space Pirate...is there any better occupation?"

The ship dropped out of warp right next to the transport and locked it in a pair of tractor beams. Two huge pillars exploded from the bottom of the pirate ship, unfolding as they went down, hit the hull of the transport ship, and cut through it quickly and efficiently, as boarders rushed into the lifts and down into the transport ship, which had been totally dwarfed by the larger pirate ship.

[bump]

The shots were fired when the ship was right above Zactarn Prime. It went spiriling to the Zactarn Prime ground. After the crash 12 people had died. 7 citizens 6 of which were younger than 9 and the 0ther 5 were soldiers. Luckily the Really Small Green Men were unharmed for the most part. Their friend from the planet Klaejeel was safe as well. They quickly ran to the bomb shelter that could withstand the planet blowing up. As they hid the Zactarn Primean AAF's (Anti-Aircraft Fighters) got in position for another attack.

"is there any form of long distance comms in this bunker?" One of the green men asked, the other was looking around for his anal probe that he had dropped.

yes there is a old style telephone that will send a satelite message back to your home planet.

"The ship has crashed!" cried the lieutenant. "I'm also reading a huge number of small vessels heading for our location. Their weapons won't do much damage alone, but in the numbers they're in..."

The captain stood. "Quickly! Engage teleporters, beam up whatever loot you can and let's get out of here!"

The ship quickly pulled up before going back to warp. However, not only was it carrying a Makaarian registry, but the warp signature was also Makaarian, as well as the energy signatures. While this ship was actually a pirate ship, to anyone else it was a Makaarian vessel.

Flying through space at maximum speed, the ship's registry numbers and energy and warp signatures changed again, this time to make it appear as a Zactarn ship. Setting a course for the Makaarian fleet, they cloaked again...

OOC: I introduced the pirates for a bit of fun. Remember, as far as your people know, you were attacked by a Makaarian ship, and my fleet is about to be attacked by what they believe to be a Zactarn ship...just play along.

Zactarn Prime has sent many AAF'S, Tie Fighters, and IWA (Inter-Galactic or Interplanetary Warship Anhialaters) to surround the Planet that will engage with any ship that passes except for the little green men's ship and are sending transport ships to the surrounding planets and asteroids to ensure protection while we build the Interplanetary Irrogation System(IIS).

The Interplanetary Irrogation System has been completed but a small trade ship that just so happened to be armed was spotted in the distance. We opened fire and the little trade ship immediatly sprung into warp speed. trying to race past us when it's exposed engines were shot. The ship began to fall but it then tapped into it's auxillary engine to stay airborne. We then zapped the trade ship with an energy beam which sucks all electrical energy out of the craft.
We then lowered the ship into a Zactarn Primeian Airport. We took out the pilot and questioned him on his presence in the area. He said he was landing on one of the asteroids for an emergency landing. We forced the pilot to join are army and we would morph his ship into a mini Tie Fighter.

a large Saucer ship dropped out of warp above the planet, this was the mothership, and it was here to pick up the stranded Green Men, and to build a colony as was proposed, it entered into orbit above Zactarn Prime.

We must know if your great leader agreed for an aliance it would also mean great trade oppurtunities for your colony

Official word from THE LEADER

I accept this alliance we hope that our two nations can live side by side in prosperity, Leader out

perfect we will allow your mothership to land and we will store it away for whenever you need it we encourage you to keep all green men and green women to stay on our planet if your leader is on board we will either take him back with one of our ships or we will send one of our delegates to lead your planet.

we will land the mothership at co-ordinates that you specify, our leader is not on board as there are too many pressing matters taking place on our homeworld, we will only keep colonists on this planet for the military and the Mothership itself must be at the ready at all times, we hope you find these terms acceptable.

we agree with this and we will escort your mothership back home to your planet. you must land and follow us to the position we will equip your mothership with weapons you will need.

"Sir, I'm reading an odd energy disturbance in the area," one of the Lieutenants on the bridge of the HMMS Bryolie said. The captain crossed over to his station. "What is it?" he said, taking an empty seat next to the lieutenant and gazing towards the screen.

"An unusually large tachyon displacement just entered our sensor range," the officer said. "It's consistent with the tachyon displacement signature of an intelligence satellite that went missing last month."

"Could it be a Zactarn ship?" a passing lieutenant remarked. "Whatever it is, it's huge," the lieutenant said. "I'm going to run a more detailed tachyon scan on the area...there. Er...sensor resolution on the object is still low - all I can tell you is that it's moving towards us at a high warp."

The captain stood. "Well, lieutenant? What do you think we should do?"

The lieutenant swivelled his chair round to face the captain. He sighed a long sigh and frowned slightly, looking down at his feet before looking up at the captain. "It could just be a stray tachyon buildup. A path of tachyons is always left where our intelligence satellites travel, and occasionally these are left in such huge numbers that they clump together under their own gravity. If the intelligence satellite were travelling at high warp, it is reasonable to suspect that the tachyons would also."

The captain nodded. "Keep me informed," he said. The lieutenant turned back to his screen and pushed a series of buttons. Before the captain could reach the other side of the bridge, a beeping sounded from the sensor station. He returned as the lieutenant issued another set of commands into the computer.

"Looks like our tachyon buildup just dropped out of warp," the Lieutenant said. "There's no way it would be able to do that by its own so quickly if it were just stray tachyon buildups." He looked over his shoulder at the captain. "Sir, it's got to be a ship."

The captain turned. "Mr. Holland, beat to quarters!" he cried. A loud bell sounded on the bridge, and as the captain took his seat, a number of crew entered from the lift. A number of marines stood at either side of each door. The crew took their positions.

"Can we get a weapons lock?" the captain asked. "Negative, sir," the lieutenant at the tactical station answered. "If we fired, I could only give you a rough area, and we'd be firing blind into it."

The captain sighed. "Charge ion cannons and lasers, raise deflector shields. Load all torpedo bays. Fire some warning shots from the ion cannon into the disturbance, half-strength."

Six shots screamed from the ion cannons into the empty space. Five continued on their way, slowly losing power as they went, but one hit something.

The captain stood and slowly approached the viewscreen. "My god..." he whispered to himself. On the viewscreen, a huge vessel began to decloak in front of him.

"It's Zactarn!" cried the science officer. "Fire all weapons!" The captain didn't have time to speculate on the origins of the craft. Torpedoes and laser beams hit the vessel while balls of ionised energy shot into it's hull. "Hard to starboard! Open up with the starboard battery!"

The ship tilted to one side and turned quickly, while torpedoes launched from the starboard battery and impacted on the hull of the vessel. It returned fire, scoring six shots with laser cannons on the shields of the Bryolie. Another set of ion shots as two small frigates joined in the battle, opening fire with their forward weapons on the large enemy vessel. As the battleship continued its fire, opening up with weapons as soon as they became available, the battle raged on.

Two more Makaarian ships joined in the fight - smaller vessels, which managed to evade hits from the enemy ship whilst delivering shots from their lasers and small, less powerful plasma cannons. The battleships and frigates opened up with their main ion cannons, while the Bryolie took most of the damage.

Finally, the enemy ship lost one if its engines and most of its weapon control. Turning slowly, still taking hits from the Makaarian ships, it warped away, this time at a lower warp. "Order the fleet not to pursue," the captain said. "We must stay here and protect the planet in case those damn Zanderans come back."

He moved to the communications station and entered a message:

TO: MAKAARIAN ROYAL SPACE CORPS HEADQUARTERS, HAMBLEGROUN, MAKAAR

ROYAL SPACE CORPS TACTICAL COMMAND
ADMIRAL ROYCE TROUT

OOC. Nice way of describing the Zactarn ship we are known to have a small army but all our ships are emmensly big.

Captain Krayneill you better take a look at this. What is it? It looks to be a fleet of Maakarian Ships coming strait at us. Ahh yes Lieutenant Weaverlie inform the patrolling ships and outposts to shoot anything they see whether it's a ship or a rock we need to be ready. This is Lieutenant Weaverlie the Captain says shoot any enemy vessel that moves in range. If you can see it fire. Roger that 10 4 everybody we need to be on the look out a battle is ahead. Oh My God. What is it Lieutenant? Captain 4 or 500 Maakarian ships are coming we need to get out our big ships the heavy artillery ones. Yes good call Weaverlie initiate launching sequence for the RBEA's(Really Big Enemy Anhialaters). About 20 or so RBEA's are now on the perimiter of our planet. This is Pilot Kraklablich I'm on the outskirts of our planet and there seem to be about 30 ships comin' strait for me. I'm gunna guide them back to y'all be ready. Roger that, 10 4 fire at will.

37 Maakarian Tie-Fighters are firing and chasing Pilot Kraklablich. These ships may not be Tie-Fighters but they look like em' and I bet they have no shields like em' too. One Makaarian ship shoots of the tip of Kraklablich's wing he can still fly but he's sputtering. Out of nowhere a torpedo splits an enemy ship in half. The battle is now getting intense as our RBEA's are firing. The lasers being fired torpedos blasting the scrambling of Tie-Fighters it's all crazy mayhem. Then an RBEA shot an energy ray which sucks all electricity out of anything it hits made contact with the 6 remaining Maakarian ships we flung them into the Asteroind belt that has always been in this cluster of planets. The ships blew but reinforcements were spotted from behind. They saw the RBEA's and quickly turned back. Zactarn Prime knew this would not be their last confrontation with Maakar.

OOC: OK, you're new so I'm going to let this slide without a huge OOC argument for the moment, but I'd like to give you just a few pointers on your post:

1. The ship that attacked us was the PIRATE ship disguised as one of your ships, trying to start a war so that it could make a profit from the battlefields wreckage. As far as you know, you were attacked by a huge Makaarian ship, and as far as Makaar knows, its fleet was attacked by a huge Zactarn ship (though they are actually the same ship).

2. In RPing, you do not decide an enemy's loss for them. Rather, the enemy decides it. If the enemy does what is called "godmodding", i.e. making it so that their forces are invincible, then don't RP with them. Eventually people will realise just how much they suck at RPing and everyone will stop RPing with them. On a related subject, NEVER RP with a nation called "Guffingford" - he may be huge but he decides peoples losses for them and is arrogant and annoying as he does it.

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to fire the IGNORE cannons at your last post and restructure it slightly. It will be fair - but try and make the battle last for more than one post. Remember, I just sent a huge fleet of Makaarian ships, all heavily armed, at you - and your nation is too small to have any really huge ships, though you might have them at your home system.

IC:

The Makaarian ships lurked just outside the Zactarn border, making their presence EXTREMELY felt by sending out radio waves. Their reinforcements were only a few minutes away now - soon, they would have a fleet of hundreds of ships (OOC: See what I did? My ships took an entire day to reach this far from when I posted these reinforcements yesterday).

Among the reinforcements came:

2 Globe-class Super-Heavy Battleships (200 fighters each)
12 Kingdom-class Super-Battleships
14 Queendom-class (refit) Battleships (20 fighters each)
20 Principality-class Heavy Cruisers
30 Republic-class Long-Range Torpedo Cruisers (LRTCs)
60 Andorra-class Medium Cruisers
67 Dukedom-class Light Cruisers
78 Indigo-class Destroyers
812 Mace-class Long-range Heavy Fighters

On top of this were:

19 Nimrod-class Fighter Carriers (500 fighters each)
12 Brig-class Transport Ships (1,400 marines each)
17 Colonel-class Transport Ships (600 marines each)

As the ships closed to the Zactarn border, a message was sent out from the Bryolie:

"To the Fleets of the Zactarn Empire,
This is the Makaarian Warship HMMS Bryolie, speaking on behalf of His Majesty's Assembly and the Prime Minister of Makaar. Your vessel attempted a raid on our fleet. Makaar will not tolerate such an attack. As you are no doubt aware, we have a fleet of several hundred ships on your border, with further reinforcements two days away.
"We offer you the chance to save yourselves. Surrender now and your people will not be harmed. Your fleets will not be attacked. However, if you foolishly choose to fight, we will not hesitate to destroy your ships. Comply."

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

On board the pirate ship, the captain watched and listened.

"These crews on the Makaarian ships are more foolish than I thought!" he cackled. "Tactical, bring long-range torpedoes to bear. I think it's time we sped up this war."

Two torpedoes spun through space from the pirate ship, jumping to warp and screaming towards their targets. As they impacted one of the Globe-class vessels, its shields glowed a dim green.

"That should anger them a little more. Reactivate the cloaking device! Bring us about and set a course for the Zactarn homeworld! This is going to be one hell of a war..."

The Makaarian ships are shooting and fire is all around. Lasers and bullets flying through the air. In all this chaos the mothership flew off to off to the Really Small Green Men's planet. Then all of the Zactarn Primean Citizens climbed into ships and flew off in cloak. The ship reached warp but was shot in the engine and had to crash land on their allies nation. The nation of Redrumia was the ally we landed on. Are citizens unloaded and we built a militarial base. We are now living in the various cities of Redrumia and are constantly searching for new planets.

OOC: No one currently knows where we are. We crash landed because we were shot and the ship is completely ruined if there was a trackin device it is long gone.
