The Empress Nightshade sighed. But it wasn’t over yet. Though Alabar was dead, she was slighted, and no one slights the Empress of the Galactic Empire and gets away with it. Especially not Thrashia. She formulated a plan, splicing the security holocameras of what happened before with a delicious confession of the Grand Admiral. The people will be rightfully enraged, no matter if it was false.

Once she was done, she sent it to the holonews stations all over the Empire in time for the six o’clock news.

HNN BREAKING NEWS

A petite woman in a red business suit sat before holocameras and began speaking to the public about the latest events.

“Good afternoon. About two hours ago, an assassination attempt in the Imperial Palace has left two people dead and the newly proclaimed Empress in shock. The traitor was captured and happened to be none other than her Grand Admiral Alabar, who was immediately captured upon sight and made a confession for all to hear.”

*An image of the Grand Admiral stands before the throne with chains on his wrists, speaking before the Empress and assembled Moffs to hear the confession. He appears to have been tortured.*

“You knew the price of betrayal.” The Empress cried, nearly in tears. “Why? Why must you betray us so?”

“You bitch. You whore. My glorious Emperor has had enough of the Sith. Enough of the weak Galactic Empire. You want to know everything? I’ll tell you! *Groan of pain* We will take Coruscant, and when we do, the children will be hunted down for all to see! Your people will be slaves under the Empire of Thrashia! Long live the Emperor!”

The woman seemed shaken but composed herself. “There you have it, the confession of the former Grand Admiral. For his crimes and the crimes against the Empire, he was executed earlier today.” She then presses a finger against her ear. “Oh yes. The Empress will be making a statement soon after an emergency meeting with her Moff Council. We should hear from her soon.”

The people were furious. Not even fifteen minutes have passed before the public began demanding blood. "Blood For Betrayal!" was the cry of the day. They demanded the Empress do something about the traitors. They demanded the use of the Death Star. They demanded Imperial Justice for those who threatened their very lives, their children, and their newly coronated leader. And the Dark Lady of the Sith will give it to them. She will give them the blood they demand. She will execute the Emperor of Thrashia for crimes against the Empire. She will war against the Thrashians and stamp them out of existence.

The holocameras whirled once more at seven o'clock. The Empress has returned from her emergency meeting to speak to the public, to the people, to give them what they want.

She stood on a balcony amid cheering crowds. "My citizens! The Thrashians are traitors! They have desecrated the Emperor's body by sending assassins to kill!"

"Evil!" "Despicable!" "They must pay!" "Blood for Betrayal!" "Blood for Betrayal!" "Blood for Betrayal!" The crowd was whipped into a frenzy by the chant.

"They lied and cheated before my very face! They believed themselves above the rule of Imperial law! They wish to take what is not theirs! They usurp the authority of the Empire!" Nightshade roared.

"Wrong!" "Bastards!" "Blood for Betrayal!"

"FOOLS! By the power bestowed within me as the Empress of the Immortal Galactic Empire, I demand that the Emperor of Thrashia and his government surrender himself over to Imperial authority for this treachery! Even now, the Imperial Navy builds up on your borders! If you do not surrender to the Empire in twelve hours, we will wage war with all the power and rage the Empire can muster! There will be no compromise! There will be no mercy! There will be justice! FOR THE EMPIRE!" Nightshade boomed. She didn't even need the Force to know that she had the Imperial citizenry curled around her fingers. The roars of the crowds were deafening as they chanted the Dark Lady's name. They will get what they want. Oh, woe to Thrashia, for the people are against thee! Woe to Thrashia for they will be punished most severely for their treachery...

OOC: Oooh. Sithy's pissed! *Tag*

Alabar slammed his fist into the desk where he sat in his darkened office. "That evil, coniving, disgusting, horrible, lying bitch!" he screamed at the holo screen. He watched as the crowds of Curoscant cheered and called for the death of Thrashians.

Alabar calmed himself and thought. She made that fake just like I made a fake, not to shabby, but it could be shown to be fake if I was given the right experts to be there. But I'm not going to risk that...and Nightshade would just come up with some other excuse.

Alabar's thoughts were interupted as a nock came to his door. "Enter," Alabar said. The door opened and in stepped Grand Admiral Schwartz. He nodded when he saw that Alabar was watching the holo net.

"Seen the bad news already? Yes its quite the problem," Schwartz said, he sat down in a plush chair next to Alabar's desk.

"That whore is making a mockery of us," said Alabar, he was still fuming. It was humiliating, even if he hadn't been there, to see himself bowing before Nightshade in such a fashion and saying those disgusting lying words. "I'd like to put a few blaster rounds into her."

"Yes, well the Emperor says he is not all that displeased," said Schwartz in a calm voice. Alabar suddenly looked at Schwartz quickly.

"What do you mean, not all displeased?" Alabar asked. Schwartz smiled.

"This action of Nightshades is rather...rushed? for lack of a better word. By making these allocations, and for those nations who were present at the true meeting and place of your 'death' know this to be a lie."

"So?"

"Meaning it will give us more needed support for our initial engagement. Already we have been in contact with Parlim, and they have pledge support."

Alabar looked surprised. "Parlim? I thought they were staying in isolation. Their own empire is large enough."

"They themselves have a dislike for the Galactic Empire, as well as against Nightshade," said Schwartz. "Not only that but our two nations have had an ancient alliance since the beginning of both our nations, though theirs is much older than ours."

Alabar thought about that for a moment. "Then these allegations-"

"-mean nothing," said Schwartz. "Our fleets and those of our allies are gathering. While Nightshade is still trying to wip up support for trying to frame Thrashia, we will already be ready for the real battle. Now, come, our meeting with the represenatives of the meeting from other nations will soon be starting. The Emperor himself will most likely be there."

Alabar nodded and got up to leave. He turned just before he got to the door, and turned off the screen, its last image being that of Nightshade standing on a balcony.

OOC: Also, just so you know, the Thrashian system is a hidden one. We've never allowed for a foreign power to know of its exact location. When it comes to trade we have it come through our territories such as the Mais system. So please remove that small part in your post about the Imperial Fleet gathering on my borders. Afterall we don't want to start godmodding now do we.

OOC: Borders is a rather general term; for all you know they could be amassing at Mais; and don't whine about God-modding when you have a "Hidden System that you can't know about". Very difficult thing to hide, is a system...

An Imperial fleet gathered near the Mais system; at least one known Thrashian system gleaned from Imperial Archives; a trade route; and a teasing trail that would inevitably lead them towards the vaunted Thrashian home systems. The victory that the Imperium and the Empire craved would perhaps then be nigh.

The Plague Fleet waited; and Lucian sat upon his throne, watching with the patience of a being that has watched plague ravage entire sectors; who has seen famine and death and chaos...Locusts and flies, bloated corpulent things, swarmed about him; alighting on his armor; the merciless denizens of the destroyer hive.

A thousand ships in all; with more ready to strike at a mere moments notice; this was but a fraction of a greater glory; Chronosia. The Imperium; a vast and powerful force; a bastion of depravity and evil throughout the howling, blighted stars. And now they came to do their fel duty once more; fleets moved; armies readied. Guardsmen and Marines prepared to give their lives for the glories of their Empire. Plague Marines sharpened the tetanus tainted edges of pestilant weapons. Lucian teased ichors from the blade of his mighty scythe an drose with a barely contained grunt of black rage. His warriors stood before him; his Children. Flesh of his enshrined flesh; blood of his tainted blood.

The time of war was nearly upon them; the hour drew near; grew late. They would be the Blade of Nurgle; the Hammer of the Gods; the Warriors of the Emperor. They would lay low any defence; bring down any foe..And now they waited for the Imperial fleets; and the war that would surely take place. The machiavellian intrigue that would take place.

What a load of horse trollop.

Okay you have one system, so please tell me…. How can you support your current fleet size?

How can you trade, after all, I’m pretty sure that some merchant somewhere would blab about your systems location, all it would take is a little gold.

I’m pretty sure that with your fleet movements other powers would be aware of your location.

And…. When your ship left Coruscant, I’m pretty sure it could have easily been tracked.

So, if you want to have a “hidden” system, let us sort some things out.

You reduce your Naval stats by ninety.

You reduce your Industrial output by a factor of one thousand.

You reduce your political influence by a factor of one thousand.

I find it a joke, that you claim a military force greater than that of Unified Sith when you only claim one main system, when US has an entire Galactic Core.

Now, are you going to change your stats?

We don’t want to be godmoding now do we?

OOC: When I say 'hidden' it means to those whom I wish it hidden. And you can shut your mouth when it comes to calling my fleet a god-mod. I spent five rl months building it, and even longer. I even scaled it down more than a month ago.

The reason my fleet is bigger than USs is because I've more faith in the Fleet than in the Force.

And I know perfectly well that a merchant is fully free to blab about things, I leave it to nations such as yourself to point out this obvious flaw and then maybe in the rp have some intelligence agency track it down. Its all part of the rp. So, sir, be so kind as to hold your tongue in things that do not concern you. (unless you are part of this, then that statement is void).

Chronosia: Would you like to know what I have in the Mais system before you go blundering in?

OOC:Charming as always...I paused outside of it, as to not go 'blundering in'. If you want to give me details, now would be fine Thank you.

OOC: Is that wise though? Because your Emperor is sitting within my power, and by attacking and making a state of war between us I would be forced to kill him. Anyway, details:

Garrison:

1 large moon turned massive ship factory; garrison of about 3,000 Tie fighters. Three or four carrack cruisers.

Plantery defenses (3 planets, one inhabited); planetary shield, 10 Legions of stormtroopers, 5th amored legion, several planet-wide spread ion cannon stations.

Other than a few small Carracks there are no other Fleet ships. They've all been called into the Thrashian Space for full mobilization.

OOC: I haven't attacked yet. My plans are far more labyrinthian than you take them at face value. Now; I trust the OOC bantering can end and we can focus on the matter.

OOC: Trully I wish that indeed. The meeting is now starting in the other thread.

Alderaan System, three hours after the Empress' speech

In a twist of desecrated fate, hundreds of ships massed at the graveyard of Alderaan, including the entire fleet of the new Immobiliser-class Star Destroyer. One of these babies managed to take out the hated rebel ship Megalodon, a once-proud flagship of the rebellion. Now it is just a drifting husk of metal floating around somewhere in deep space.

Admiral Keldalri, commander of this fleet, looked over the reports of all the ships in the system as the Death Star pops into the system.

600 ships, plus the Death Star. She smirked coldly. Certainly enough to deal with anything the traitors can throw at us.

Her time to attack slowly ticks down, but the Admiral relishes the thought of ending the traitorous threat to the Empire. Now she only waits until the clock runs down to begin the...pacification.

Pentova
Orders for the Droid Fleet of Pentova were as follows:

Mobilize. Prepare for hostilities.

The billions of droids on Pentova and in orbit prepared for anything. Not to mention the planetary shields readied for the first sign of enemy assault and Golan V stations, capable of dueling with SSDs very well, came online as well. Nothing would dare take it on!

Kaminos
The Clones, too, prepared to defend their home system from any possible assault. Even more heavily defended than Pentova, Kaminos will be a very hard nut to crack. Doomingsland learned that lesson to their sorrow once.

"By Imperial Edict; by Chronosian Authority and Authority held amongst the Galactic Empire; I request immediate Galaxy Gun strike on the Forge Moon of the Mais system; let their sattelite become their doom; raze their world to ashes and cinders; bring them to their knees in defeat and death!"

Lucian's bellow echoed; a beast's howl; a cry of unfathomable rage. The fleet held; not over-eager to plunge head-first into death and destruction; but biding their time; for allies to move and allies to strike...

And they shall have it.

Six hours after the Empress' speech

The Empire promised twelve hours. But when has the Empire promised anything to traitors except death? At Kuat Drive Yards, a newly built Galaxy Gun mark II begins to flex its muscles. However, this Galaxy Gun was different. Instead of one barrel, eight menacing barrels stridle this floating long-range anti-planetary artillery platform, making this Gun capable of firing on eight different targets with impunity.

A target was selected, Mais, and the Gun was armed. Upon Imperial Authority, the clones manning the Galaxy Gun shoots out two planet-destroying missiles, they enter hyperspace at speeds in excess of normal ships or even probe droids, and then reenter realspace at Mais, aiming for planet and moon.

Two missiles.

Two targets.

Two potential asteroid fields.

Alderaan System

The time was now. The attack begins today. The clock has run down.

Six hundred engines glowed with fierce brightness, and the Death Star, followed by her mighty fleet, explodes into hyperspace for the Thrashian systems.

War has begun. For the Empire.

And they shall have it.

OOC: Now...last time I remember US's Galaxy Gun was destroyed, and I remember it taking him some time to complete it (like a week or two) within a thread of its own, and now suddenly I'm suppose to believe that you have a brand new one, that not only has the same power, but can now operate faster due to modifications? I want to see links to this things creation, dated to at least two weeks ago before I believe this.

OOC: for rp purposes I will create another thread for your invasion of Thrashian Space Coreworlds (ie US) and give you a link to my fleet specs, and I will give you an accurate as possible description of its out-lying defenses where you will first reach.

OOC: The original US here.

Now Dratheria destroyed the last Galaxy Gun out of my allowance. I allowed him to blow it up through several extreme processes of heavy Godmode. Why? Because I had the mark two in mind. I have MSN logs referring to this mark two Galaxy Gun. And I assure you, Kaut did start work on it as soon as the first was destroyed.

The Mark Two Galaxy Gun is and will be accepted Icly.

Why Ignore it?

Well, if you ignore it, well then I demand you give me evidence that of every ship that you have constructed. I want threads for every fighter, I want threads for every missile and every turbolaser shell, and if I don’t get them, then your stuff does not exist.

I hope you see where this is leading.

I told Coreworlds and Chronosia as well as The Wick about the Mark Two Galaxy Gun in order to clear it with them, as they were and still are the main parties, who if they refused to accept it, would inhibit me most in my roleplays.

Most weapons such as the Immobiliser fleet have not been Rp’d into construction, but instead I have given lots of people extreme OOC notice via MSN.

If you insist on arguing about this point, I will have Coreworlds press on this exact same technicality.

It swings both ways.

As for the Galaxy Gun mark 2 being completed in time, this is extremely acceptable considering the station is in fact stationary, and is manned by droids. The entire thing is a scaffold and open to space. All it is, is eight very large hyper barrels.

I don’t see you moaning about the Immobiliser fleet when we were about to destroy the GFFA?

YOU CAN NOT PICK AND CHOOSE.

Thrashia you must understand the way I operated. I played MSN at the start like you via threads and statistics, however as my friends were the only real people I RP’d with, everything was done over NS, which alas since you are never on, could never be a part of.

Accept the GG MK2.

Also, since you did not announce your construction of a second galaxy gun in the forums here in IC, no matter how you say that it's palpatines usual thing to do is build bigger and better, well hes dead, I do not accept the gun being already made nor forsee it's involvement in this. And since when does anyone have the time to post the construction of every singe fighter and small ship they own? The first link I provided gives you the number of capital ships I've built and fighter compliments go along with it.

And you'll notice my production facilities descriptions, though I presently cannot find the links to them they exist, and are well designed and manned by droids just like your own factories.


And of course I accepted the Immobiliser fleet, and so did you in turn accept my own fleet, so that door swings both ways.

The Death Star I accept, but the galaxy gun, I do not. You have to live with it.

OOC-Pssht. You're all getting hung up on technicality.

OOC: No kidding, I just want to fight it out, but not with a wank gun.

Thrashia you call upon technicality when it suits you and blatantly ignore it when it doesn’t.

Stop your rubbish and grow up.

I'm not the one spitting bullets about small details. I'm just simply not going to allow you to rp a weapon that you only talked about in OOC and never mentioned constructing it in IC. And if anything is rubbish its your blatant ignorance to my links I just posted.


Thrashia you call upon technicality when it suits you and blatantly ignore it when it doesn’t.

Only when it suits me, but then thats what your doing right now in trying to get your 'Mk2 Galaxy Gun'.

Anyway I dont have time to argue the point US. Either you deal with the fact that your little gun isn't going to be in the rp and suck it up and deal with it, or I will just fire the ignore cannon at this entire thread. Your choice. Now good day, I have work to do.

I choose the ignore goodbye.

Chronosia shut the hell up. Sith can leave and come back. It's not illegal. Alot of people have said they were going to leave and they come back. It's no diff then people who take brakes. So he can reassume control of GE but must RP it and yes this RP went to hell for the nitpicking of so called Gogmodding. So this RP sucked ass for that reason and I suggest you all restart it with out the bitching and moaning.

Meh. This is the OOC thread anyway. I find it amusing to see everyone bicker as such, when I've already decided to wait to use the Galaxy Gun until after the war

How about you get your facts right before you tell me to shut the hell up; boy. You may not have noticed; but Sith ain't back. He's made a religious vow not to RP; but he still comes on and nit-picks about what doesn't please him. He's not going to take control back.

stifle it and RP. We are civilised people playing a civilised game about civilization, not flamers. US shouldn't lord over us, but he made his nation so he should still have some say.

But he gave control over that nations to Coreworlds. So…he has no say in any type of RP.

Coreworlds, whats your opinon so far on the battle? You surprised me with the move through the astroid field, but then you got your ass reamed when my 9th fleet came in and its still causing damage. And I think by now that Khurgan has lost his command ship, unless somehow he can stand up to some 400 Star Destroyers firing at him non-stop.

Anyway, I think its getting interesting, and thats a good formation you came up with. But I got a question. Just how big is your death star? I have the Epion Station, which is the same thing except no super laser, and its 600 miles in diameter. You can see it on my fleet specs page, it would be kinda cool to see a big old fashioned massive duel between them. :D

Anyway, I'll post my losses here that I've officially lost so far:

197 Praetorian Cruisers
73 Imperial Star Destroyers
4 Super Star Destroyers
1 Crusader Space Station
29,340 Droid fighters
2,730 Tie Line Fighters
423 Tie Interceptors
132 Tie Phantoms

Thats about what I can see me loosing so far. My carriers have not been lost yet so, maybe they'll enter into combat, but as a last ditch.

Yep, I lost the Changer of the Ways. Quite nice, it was. Of course, Tzeentch is very happy that I did so, so I come out ahead. Oh, and quick question: does the planet in system have shields, and can they block solid projectiles?

Oh, and shit, I forgot to post my forces. Whoops. Reasonable force posted below.

US:
so singularity torpedos are torpedos that carry a singularity within them while they travel instead of generating it on impact? Sounds dangerous when inside your ships... like a direct hit to the launching system would engulf your ride.


::and bringing that FTLi debate here::
If I remember right, there is no difference between accelerated motion w/o gravity and no motion w/ gravity. So if its exerting gravity on me, I am simply accelerating towards the FTLi generators. If that's right, I need only to apply an equal accelerative force against it to neutralize the acceleration, and jump away. (demented greatly from Elegant Universe by Brian Green)

So unless I've missed something, the FTLi is either innefective if it's just constant gravity, or only works because it uses massive gravity fluctuations. Unless it works by applying stress to the hull, in which case it's quite effective and would tear anything apart that tried to jump.

EDIT: 1,000 posts. whoope. ::half-hearted cheer:: I'm now responsible for several megabytes of junk on Jolt. :D

Don't ask me how it works, all I know is that gravity wells are proven to pull vessels out of SW hyperspace. The Warp is a slightly different story, you generally need a warp storm to do that.

The question is do they do it because they throw the trajectory off, and the hyperdrive disengages for safety reasons? Or does it actually physically grab the ship and force it STL?

The question is do they do it because they throw the trajectory off, and the hyperdrive disengages for safety reasons? Or does it actually physically grab the ship and force it STL?
It's a stress issue. The closer you get to a mass-shadow projected in hyperspace, the more the ship's hull will get stressed by the gravity. It is possible to hyper in close to a planet (see Battle of Coruscant in Ep III), though, but you'd have to check for stress fractures afterwards. Though in battle, it's kinda moot. Either way, the ship's computers will detect the shadow with FTL sensors then yank the ship out if there's one in the way. Of course, then it depends on the pilot's reaction to prevent destruction.

So...your Khurgan? And comon man, you've lost more than that, our fleets have been punching into each other for a while.

You've been aiming pretty much exclusively at the Changer recently (and the warp-rift its corpse spawned), and your first shots I had plenty of cover due to an intervening asteroid field. Note that most of my ships are at least slightly damaged, so my combat effectiveness is reduced.

And yes, Khurgan is a puppet of mine.

EDIT: And pouring warp-energy into a rift to the Warp really isn't too good of an idea, it's sort of an endless loop. That and Tzeentch is magic incarnate, so trying to snuff him with it is also not that good of an idea (well, neither is trying to snuff a Chaos God to be honest).

12 Lord of Change-class Battleships
80 Cataclysm-class Battle Cruisers (2 with engines disabled)
30 Firewyrm-class Battle Carriers
230,000 Smallcraft (fighters, bombers, ultralight transports) (Unknown amount destroyed)

Oh, and yes Thrashia Prime has shields and no they cannot block physical objects, its a shield, meant for energy. It however does have a very efficient AA system.

Just launched 184 torpedoes at your planet. 60m high-velocity, heavily armored and lightly shielded, 92 carrying cyclotronic warheads, 92 carrying Life-Eater virus bombs.

60 meters? Dang... they're larget than my gunships...

I guess that fits if I consider the size of my cap-ships and the necessary size their torpedos would be, but still...

Khurgan, you should have asked Godular, or even CW what happens to missiles in my presence... Generally, they come back to bite you in the ass... This time, I'm really going to screw with your head...

So whose side is everyone on because I thought I grasped it but now I dont.

YEAH... would have been nice if this were referenced as the OOC thread. Oops, oh well.

Khurgan: The Axiomatic torpedos will not affect humans. They will burn down any Chaos-spawn that came through the portals, and chances are some of the energy went through the portal itself to cause some inconvenience in the warp.

If there's any form of overly 'connected' Chaos Followers, like priests or some other wierd stuff, they'll get burned pretty bad too. Not killed, but roasted nicely.

Its purely offensive in nature, and while the thoughts and feelings of law and order are there, they are not strong enough to affect actions, just muck about with thought processes more focused on instinct and such.

Khurgan, trying to send them bvack on course is rather pointless, since they were dropped at literally a few meters from the DS shield... Or, I could just put them into an Impeller wedge...

here we go again with the warp ping-pong...

here we go again with the warp ping-pong...

So, me and Godular aren't the only ones who remmber that... But, alas, no, I put them into the photosphere of a star instead...

Hey why is everyone ignoring me on the thread?

I just joined in because I'm a Member of the Galactic Empire, for one, and two I have a seperate nation that succeeded from the Galactic Republic, called the Confederacy of Independent States, that I need to use.

What did you post?

Well see technically my nation is still a 'traitor' nation to the GE. I tried to leave and they fought back but we never finished our war so I still see my nation as a 'traitor' nation like Thrashia. And by finish our war I mean no settlement or agreement was met nor anything else of the kind. And to be fair my guys are pissed at the GE they destroyed Dratheria, millions of innocent lives, and tried to kill the Emperor. And yeah Ive poste dlike twice and once was to protect Thrashia and the other was to announce the Strike Force's presence and to ask Thrashia what he needed help with.

The following is a special request from Chronosia.

Technically, your nations was obliterated, your civilian population almost exterminated. Now upon that reason your people and therefore your ships are no longer able to be crewed or manned as you no longer have the appropriate resources to do so.

Now you can say your allies are manning and crewing your ships, but that would be saying that the USA is supporting all the worlds military forces.

So I think the point is that Icly you have no ships to use. Now, to finish the thread previously mentioned would involve the extermination of your entire species so, feel free to press Coreworlds (New owner of US) to go back in time Icly to that point and make sure the job is finished. At least with an incomplete thread you still have a nation left.

Either way, I suggest you put your opinion upon the wind, and let it drift far away form this conflict.

I just joined in because I'm a Member of the Galactic Empire, for one, and two I have a seperate nation that succeeded from the Galactic Republic, called the Confederacy of Independent States, that I need to use.

What did you post?

OoC:

Just making sure, but from what I've gathered that our force joining US isn't affiliated with Anagonia? Because I wouldn't want to have to obliterate an ally.

:D

One you know jack diddly squat ok you destroyed a planet with some 160 million odd people and my pop is over 1.7 billion. While I did lose a beautiful and precious world that's beside the fact. Most of my population is Human I'd say around 65% of it was Human or Augmented/Genetically Enhanced Human. Now see what you say would make it very difficult considering Coreworlds hardly did anything extra the most he really did was put a super-sized hole in my ESD which was impressive and prolly could have wiped out more of my fleet but then he just stopped posting. So I continued to RP, after waiting about a month, and I RP it as the forces were crippled after the war but were rebuilding. Nothing ended up happening with that thread so if you want to get technical the majority of my human population is still there. Which is what the Imperium is. However Chron knows nothing about my population considering they were spread out between many worlds not to mention the Clones I had. Which we have already been over once. You only attacked one world and killed a bunch of people but now see I have something to say it's called, You guys can't call anything on my nation. I even said in my Ronwe thread, Many planets met their end at the hands fo the GE in the war between the GE and Dratheria. One of the most beautiful of these worlds was Dratheria. Dratheria was the first of many planets to suffer under the assaults of the GE. However Dratheria suffered far worse for it was destroyed.
And I did this only to be nice to the GE who was trying to obliterate me for trying to be free. This niceness is partially because I know what kind of power the leader of such an alliance has. See now it's not even about being in your little thread it is about showing you that you are wrong for once US. Stuff happens and nations rebuild and I'd say mine has had plenty of time to do so since this war began. Now see I am only offering a minor military aid to Thrashia as well as offering a place for refugees to go. My minor help is only to help them Daemonhunt and defend against Psyker magics. Now as I said none of you can say what or what did not happen to my nation and what it's casualties were as well as you cannot call whether I have a military or not. see this is the thing Chron doesn't know everything ok. As well Read my factbook sometime I let you get away with a few things as did you me in that war. Now finally if this is how you want it (me not being in this thread) then I'll close that war thread and post an ending to it. Now don't get me wrong I'll only state my casualties and say some kind of peace was reached but the GE is no longer to come after me without sufficient reason if I do so. Are we clear?

Sorry this is long and looks kinda like a rant sorry if it appears that way but I am just trying to sufficiently explain things.

I don't pretend to know anything, in fact all I told Sith was that you were sitting in the OOC thread whining about being ignored; he thought up the subsequent rant; hence my involvement ended. I don't particularly care for your convoluted opportunistic backstory that serves as a malleable get out of free card for any situation; nor your equally convoluted wank-tech.

Here my association with the subject ends

Now you can say your allies are manning and crewing your ships, but that would be saying that the USA is supporting all the worlds military forces.

You mean they don't? :confused: ;)

Anyway, thanks for supporting me either way Dratheria, I'm not fully aware of the history concerning the conflict between you and the GE since I never took part in it, but if its been a while since it happened, CW, its concievable he would have some sort of military, albiet small and greatly helped by allies.


Update on losses:

234 Praetorian Cruisers
11 Shadow-class Cruisers
6 Scorpion Carriers

Yo Chron I am using most of the same tech as you now. Short of some of the specialized weapons they have. Imperium forces and Shieldships is what I use now unless you count Rogue Fleet and the Fighter carriers I use. Actually rogue Fleet is Fighter carriers so yeah. None of my tech is wank and as well the only PB I have is the ESD but that is with the Ronwe. And it doesnt have PB capabilities anymore thanks to the Death Star. And what get out of free card I got rid of the Dratherians for the reason that they were to close to godmodding and am only using Imperium forces now. However even if what you said is true it never stopped you from winning against me.

Yeah; but you brought the victories upon yourself most times. Always nice to see reformation though. Hopefully it'll breed yet more improvement.

Mmk, here's what's left of me after the main force ran home:

100 Squadrons of Shining Spears 2,100 units total

100 Squadrons of Strike Bombers, 2,100 units total

This is everything I just threw at US\CW and is effectively everything I have left to throw....

I have only one word to describe that force Mini Miehm

but Daamn....(using a wigger accent) thats a big ass force.

note to self: never never NEVER mess with the AoN

I'm hoping that your craft will be capable of helping me out when ZP brings those Executors in.



But I still have a contingency plan for them... ::sinister laughter::

Thank you boys...

Addressing the Executors, they'll be a rather non-issue, not with 6Desolators in the system...

OOC: Dito Huge fleet good thing we are on good terms with the AoN ^^;;

OOC: Dito Huge fleet good thing we are on good terms with the AoN ^^;;

Heh, the thing of it is, that's only half of it...

OOC: Now i know why you guys havnt taken the GE down prob busy playing paper rock scissors to see who leads the fleets eh? Anyway i dont plan on upseting the AoN.........ever lol

are they accepting allies? lol

EDIT: Okay, so we've lost the planet. Everyone throw up their FTLi and let's beat this Imperial fleet back to Corescant.

OOC: Grah. This is one of the times I hate being a member of both the AoN and the GE. I already pledged my support to the Empire in the last thread, but since that seemed to dive under after US left (when I last checked), I don't know what stance to take here.

Neutral's best for now.

The GE appears to have won the battle.

OOC: Such Irony isnt it? We post about how powerful the fleet is and the GE is doomed and they win the battle four mintues later such sweet irony.

Give me one good reason to bother? I'm fucked... I stopped the plague, by slagging the frigging planet!!!

Maybe... I think the DS is going down at least...

Who said we had lost? And I haven't yet replied to the whole Khurgan thing, hes going to get a nasty surprise. And believe me, that planets not disapearing nor are the people on it, nor the legions of clones I have on it. So no worries, just use that massive fleet to help me take on the rest of them.

I still have at least 3/4s of my fleet alive and fighting.

Edit the post and leave the planet to him.

Anyways, don't worry even if we have to loose the planet. They made a valient sacrafice so that we could keep fighting or some rubbish like that. Just keep hammering. If we destroy this force, we've knocked the Imperial fleet down a notch.

Yes, edit the post. Ion cannons do jack to Warp Fields and Void Shields. SW shield tech is much different from mine. That and a nuke most likely wouldn't do overly much damage to a Cataclysm, much less a Lord of Change. And lets not forget that most of my tech isn't powered electronically, but manually.

EDIT: Also, probably one of my last posts for the night. Computer lab closes.... now.

The hell I'm going to loose my planet! Khurgan you didn't ask me even if you weer aloud to attack it directly. And dont give me bullshit about SW tech not affecting 40k tech. It can and you know it. And thats not just some small little nuclear missile, its a nuclear fushion bomb, x1000 a nuclear bomb, meaning it will do damage to you.

So no, I will not edit my post.

Right, there's a fracking DEATHSTAR aimed at your planet, I kinda assumed attacking it was in. And no, ion cannons DON'T work on manual labour or deamons. All systems would still be running fine. And calling damage is also out, it's called godmoding and is generally frowned upon. Now, edit said post.

Keep in mind that your warp jump put yourself inside a shield that SHOULD protect against warp incursions.

And I guess destroying my planet without waiting for my reply doesn't count as a god-mod? And not even asking me first?

The fact that Godular was there was a clear sign that the DS would not be fired. And thus meaning that attacking the planet was off-limits to the fact. If you had questions concerning that, then you could have sent me a TG about what you were doing then gone ahead with it.

Keep in mind that your warp jump put yourself inside a shield that SHOULD protect against warp incursions.

And indeed it does, since my nation has had a lot of contact with both Parlim and Chron, my planetary shielding has been made to stop FTL and Warp.

This is my last post for the night. Now either my post stands and those ships are gone. Or you can alter your own post and consider keeping them in space and helping out CW. Anyway, its either that or the ignore cannon. You choose. As I said, you should have informed me before you attempted this...thing.

I'm not gonna post the rest of the Pursuit sequence for the Mako until this whole thing about Bio-bombing Thrashia is cleared up. Nobody ever actually bothered to attack the planetary shields around the planet, so there shouldn't have been any way at all that the Khurgan forces made it through.

Suddenly, the RP grinds to a halt. I, too will cease posting until the shit is shoveled aside.

Unless anything else happens, I think that'll be my last post in this battle. The attack was on such short notice that reinforcements won't be able to be mustered for a while.

EDIT: Actually, I'll probably jump in with a fleet in a while, once this planet nonsense is worked out and RPing resumes.

Oh, and yes Thrashia Prime has shields and no they cannot block physical objects, its a shield, meant for energy. It however does have a very efficient AA system.

Fine, I'll edit them to right outside of the planetary shields, then a quick dive in. After all, they don't block physical objects, right? Anyway, the question about planetary shields didn't tip you off that something like this might just happen? Maybe the torpedoes aimed at your planet? Or the virus bombs hitting your moon after the Mako ducked behind it?

Planetary shields can stop asteroids, so they can stop ships...

Read the quote above regarding Thrashias IC comment on his shields.

Ah, okeydoke.

While the scattered attack vessels had fallen to enemy onslaught or the immense destructive powers of the voidshields; the main fleets fought on. Fighters died in firey balls of direst oblivion; smaller vessels were torn asunder; but as much as their enemies could muster; the Chronosians hurled more forth against their foes. Warp cannons howled in sirens song; missles roared across the void; exploding in immense fusion or gravitational blasts; the energy staining the void itself with their soaring malice. This was a race built for brutality and war...

Drop-pods; boarding torpedoes and gunships hurtled towards the enemy fleets; the crackling phase-arrays of the Dreadclaw's hungry to eat through the enemies hulls. Within, Terminators and Space Marines; Plague Marines and Noise Marines; each ready to fight and die for their Emperor. They owed him their lives; they would not embaress him by dieing this day! They would know no fear; but the Enemy would know Pain...

Teleporter arrays crackled and hissed; sending forth the troops through the void; Khornate berserkers rending into reality; striking with their mighty axes; Chaos Havocs lashing out with their immense Heavy Weapons; Obliterators, dripping with ichors; man and machine and flesh and weapons fused obscenely into one; Terminators; mighty armored juggernauts of destruction....All these things poured forth; appearing; and then being snatched away, to form elsewhere.

"This is Emperor Remiel; all Imperial Forces; all treacherous dogs; hear me now! THis war is one of ambition and foolishness; you all hold yourselves above the true objective; the Empire. In hatred and malice you would tear asunder ancient oaths; in jealousy and greed you would render our vows obsolete. You would open us up to the multitudes of enemies about us; even the GFFA plays its hand. There may come a time when we, the Imperial's shall be laid low; when all our bastions crumble under duress; when friends become foes, and our enemies circle like sharks! But not today! Today, we stand; today we fight. I fight not for Nightshade. I fight not for Thrashia; this day I fight not even for the Gods of Chaos. I fight for the Empire."

"The die is cast...We have issued our warnings; we strike...And we see what the fates shall weave for us."


Anyone gonna reply to my contributions to this war? :P

No, no one likes you anymore! :P j/k, DON'T KILL ME! *runs*

Anyway, the question about planetary shields didn't tip you off that something like this might just happen? Maybe the torpedoes aimed at your planet? Or the virus bombs hitting your moon after the Mako ducked behind it?

The moon is nothing but a burrowed out space ship factory. Theres no humans on it, its completely automized by droids....so that virus bomb wont infect much more than maybe a few rats.

And the torpedoes aimed at my planet? They were sucked up by MM, and I say this as an act of desperation.

And yes! You finally caught on! objects not blasting through the warp, can indeed make some head-way through the shield. However it will cause your ships to be damaged and some electronics to be lost...wait you power everything with rats in little running wheels right? So, no never mind that one. And ion cannons and a few missiles is not the only thing comprising my AA system.

Just out of curiosity. If multi-billion-ton ships crash down through the shields, isn't a little power loss and AA fire kinda moot when they will cause extinction-level impacts on cities? And if they're on fire...

Git on yer damn AIM name CW. MSN doesnt work anymore.. AIM is all I have.

Yea, except he does not know the location of my cities, and its moot already since I left the planet.

The Thrashian System is now in the hands of the Empire. But I left a present of billions of mines for you.

Trash, get on MSN. Need to discuss some things with you.

k, give me a sec.

So, I would be correct in assuming the System is lost, yes? And that my intervention is no longer needed? If so, I'm gobnna wander of elsewhere now...

my msn is fucked up. you'll have to give me some time.

No problem. Just concerns you settling near my system.

So, I would be correct in assuming the System is lost, yes? And that my intervention is no longer needed? If so, I'm gobnna wander of elsewhere now...

Thanks for your help though. I think we pretty much destroyed the initial fleet CW sent at us. And I hope that my last ditch slamming of a 16 kilometer ship through hyperspace and into the massively damaged Death Star doesn't go ignored.

US/CW: if you throw up the FTLi, my fleet can't keep dancing around like that and will be forced to stand and fight. They're going to keep jumping like that whenever they detect your forces start to power up their jump drives unless they are trapped.

Granted, they can still manage a jump in regular gravity, but it takes longer to plot and is much more dangerous. Start rapidly altering the intensity and stregnth of the FTLi field though, and they're completly trapped. The computers wouldn't be able to compensate, and you would be able to overpower with weight of numbers.

He can't, I'll just overload it again by jumping in and out with my Battleglobe.

o_O Daaaaaaaaaaang...

well, he can try using the gravity-wells that interdictors use, and keep modulating the power and intensity.

anyways, I've thrown up an extremely localized FTLi. Why? To make what little remains stand out like a strobe. (essentially it's a giant bulls-eye)

Plus I've been quite aggrevating, so he'll probably enjoy destroying me. If it buys you any time doing that, use it to the best you can. I fully intend on having what I have left destroyed.

That means that I can block some of your fleet from leaving?

What's left there can't run any further, they've burned out their FTL drives. Capture em or do whatever you want with them, they're stuck.

EDIT:
What's there:
4 frigates (all of the frigs I have left)
2 cruisers (7 got away)
20 fighters (not much made it out. Maybe 30 or so)
10 bombers (all the others have already been destroyed)
12 gunships (see above)

What left:
1 dreadnought
7 cruisers
30 fighters

I'm still waiting to see the DS blow up. I want a pic along with it too, like in the movie. ..... ^^

*cough*60% shields*cough*

*cough* 16 kilometer titanium alloy vessel exited hyperspace into your reactor area *cough*

:cough: space-time distortion

Wow, we sound like a TB ward :D

Worst comes to worst, the Thrashian Battleglobe can take out the DS, and Kyanges battlestation can take out the TS

*cough* 16 kilometer titanium alloy vessel exited hyperspace into your reactor area *cough*
*cough*300 miles of cold, hard durasteel to go through even in the event of shield failure*cough*

Sounds like a fair trade to me, Trash loses his system and CW loses the DS and a nice portion of his fleet.

I loose any secrecy about the rebellion in my nation that there might possibly be (assuming they try to capture that fleet and not destroy it)

Gonna need to put some heavy odds around them and ion the fleet though before it'll surrender. They won't go down without a fight.

*cough*300 miles of cold, hard durasteel to go through even in the event of shield failure*cough*

you did notice where the ship exited? right in your main reactors? If a few laser blasts from a fighter can destroy the death star, then the massive sovereign appearing and slamming into your frail reactor will do about the same, if not more damage to it.

Sounds like a fair trade to me, Trash loses his system and CW loses the DS and a nice portion of his fleet.

Indeed, and I lost a nice portion of my fleet as well, about 2/3rds. And both of my command ships (the soveriegns) plus one of my oldest characters: Alabar.

Did you not understand that you still have to get through the shields in order to get to the Death Star itself?! and the reactor is, omg, inside the shields.

CW, just take the loss. It would certainly be fair for both sides, and since you're the Galactice Empire, it's not like you couldn't just build another one.

*nods to what Parlim said*

Did you not understand that you still have to get through the shields in order to get to the Death Star itself?! and the reactor is, omg, inside the shields.


:D Then it impacts on the shields. So the ship is in essence a giant KE round going FTL. Imagine the energy it contains.

You know all of those railguns people like to use? Scale it up, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay up.

11(?) km long and several thousand/million/whatever times C

EDIT: 16 km. Looks like I took st00pid pills this morning heh

Close NE, its 16 kilometers long.

Haha, you know, I feel kinda funny now. I mean, HA! I lost my system, about 600+ ships and thousands of fighters, my home, nearly everything! And in return I get to destroy about 1/3rd of 600 star destroyers...tell me theres no irony in that.

The point is that your ship is going into Hyperspace inside a Gravity well so it’s just torn itself apart.

Secondly these are planetary grade shields, which won’t collapse under this simple attack. Your ship entering Hyperspace will be torn asunder so first of all it’s lots of little projectiles and secondly the Death Star shields are more than capable of handling it.

Why should I accept something that wouldn’t happen?

EDIT

The reactor is still 300 miles inside armour, you’re SSD is not going to penetrate that far even if it gets through the shields.

And i'm being lenient here with the Death Star getting 35% on the shields and a hole. But hurry, for the hole will close.

Haha, you know, I feel kinda funny now. I mean, HA! I lost my system, about 600+ ships and thousands of fighters, my home, nearly everything! And in return I get to destroy about 1/3rd of 600 star destroyers...tell me theres no irony in that.
1/2, actually. 265 + 40 = 305.

I never remember you mentioning these gravity wells...I remember the FTLi but no gravity wells..these seem to have sprung up all of a sudden even though it was a single ship going into hyperspace amid a battle containing thousands of ships...so tell me again how the DS was able to detect ONE ship entering hyperspace, know its direction, know its exact location, and be able to spring up a gravity well to aim at it?

If anything CW, your a pretty bad winner.

Gravity Wells = Tractor Beams which have been previously posted.

Well, it looks like I’m going to have to start my plan to take the Death Star down. The good side of CW knows what I have in plan. They could help, if they want to.

Plus…what about our thread CW? We need to finish it, so you can get your cool Zoids.

I have dibs on the DS. Down Boy...

*cough* I've posted gravity wells several times over the course of the RP. Not my fault you don't read close enough...

CW, those #s seem a little low for the sheer ammount of stuff we've been hurling at you.



Thrash, shoot that DS with the battleshpere. Kyanges will support with his battlestation I'm sure (whenever that arrifes)

Not to mention my fleet outnumbered his 2 to 1, and I outflanked you twice, hit you in the rear, and smashed into you strait on with different fleets. So I would expect far more than that pitiful number. Even Parlim with THREE ships took out about 15 of your SDs.

Hmm. You do have a point. there.

380/500 ISDs

62/80 Immobilizers

My final offer

Over three quarters of all fighters gone.

I have dibs on the DS. Down Boy...

But I have a way to leave it powerless. CW knows what I’m talking about. Plus…it is easy to destroy the DS then taking it over.

Up the ISDs another 60 and you got it.

I mean I have dibs on blowing it to hell and gone... It annoys me, and I intend to destroy it...

Well…I have to lure into my trap, after I finished building it. It is going to take a long time, too. So, it looks like you are up to bat.

I intend to be a part of that battle, if you wouldn't mind.

Nope. I think it's fair considering you lost three quarters of your own fleet. Look on the bright side, smaller numbers means more money to lavish on the ones we've got left and more powerful ships indvidually.

I intend to be a part of that battle, if you wouldn't mind.

Well, you can with MM but not me unless my FT nation meets yours or MM in the near future.

Note that I quoted MM, Trans.

I still say your a sore winner.

I'd love the help... Especially when taking on the DS... Now we just have to force him to use it again...

I saw but I want to say something.

The Republic could use a few more SDs to paint on the hull, I'm in.

Gimme your MSN, I have an idea...

I still have a bit of a fleet, and I am sure a small detachment would love to volunteer to get revenge, then they have stronger desire to destroy and become more affective tools for the DS's destruction. [evil smile]

You may be forced to wait a while... We have to draw it out first...

MM - Check TGs

ok, ok fine. I'll wait...but oh how sweet it will be when it finally happens. [really evil grin]

(OOC: Where are your men going to go? I thought they couldn't get away?)

IC:
Forget it, we're sending you home.

Shade cruisers began to stretch their Structural Integrity fields around one NE vessel, lending its hull strength. In the next instant, the ships disappeared with the NE vessel in tow. The rest of the ships simply vanished without a trace. -snipped a tad-

I was just expecting you to use them to shore up somewhere. I meant where to go in the battle line. Out of curiosity, where did you take the cap ships? And you know the strike craft are in your hangars right now I think, right?

Looks like I'm out of this one by no doing of my own lol

Posted, cleared up a few misconceptions about the Life Eater I think. It's not just a simple bioweapon, it's a method of sterilizing a planet for eternity. Things infected die within seconds, letting off large amounts of flammable gas. Said flammable gasses build up in the atmosphere, eventually igniting and causing the entire atmosphere to turn into a massive fireball. Drains air out of buried structures, flashfries everything, turns the planet into a lifeless ball of rock.

Thrashia: Apologies for seeming an ass before, it's just that your response pissed me off slightly. Too bad you got back so soon, I was going to post an idea to edit to to a check-mate situation, using the Life Eater as a knife to your throat instead of as a PK. Of course, evacuating your population works just fine, too, and is quite acceptable. Oh, and apologies for the wait, was driving home from school.

Khurgan, you and Darth Hydrus have a meeting to get into. You frakkin screwed up my plans for taking that planet, and I'm PO'ed! Lol.

EDIT:

You have an MSN or Instant Messanger I can contact you through Khurgan?

MSN: blaestwin@hotmail.com
AIM: Pale Rider Arms (not able to use it, don't have AIM on my home PC, a problem I'll correct this weekend)

Added ya MSN.

Maybe I should thank Khurgan, he might have forced me to leave and thus save my pop. from Anagonia. ^_^

OOC: So...WHAT exactly has happened?

Just read carefully in the rp thread. I've evacuated my planet of all its citizens, my fleet retreated. The GE now has control of my system, however those billions of mines I had around it were redirected and basically all came crashing into the system at your fleets. And the planet is now saturated by a viral gas that Khurgan put upon it, making it so it will be some time before its habital again. Most of my Allies fleets have left, but a few remain and are currently stomping the last bit of Zactern Prime into dust, even if he seems to ignore most damage.

Well, close. It's more akin to a giant FAE than a viral weapon, and the cyclotronic torpedoes, which make Category 20 or so hurricanes covering the planet, only make things worse.

Chronos: In laymans terms, I just committed Exterminatus, although I'm sure you guessed that. Most of his pop managed to escape tho.
