(OOC: So, I have RPed inhabiting a system of eleven planets with some friends, however, they have slowly died off and now I'm all thats left. Now I think I'll open up the planets to be colonized. If you'd like just make a post requesting a portion of a planet (asteroids are up for grabs) or a moon. I'll post some information on each so you can make a decision. I am hoping that this will be a good oppourtunity for some RPs so no matter what sort of nation you are I can pretty much guarantee that you'll be sold something.

Star - Helios (1.5 times the size of the Sun)

Keep in mind that once these planets are inhabited, the inhabitants are welcome to modify the planet in anyway they see fit to make it more hospitable. Largent will be handing over all ownership excpet in a select few situations so the description of the planets may change as you change them. If you would like any history or extra information on any of the planets I will give it, otherwise I will just post important history and information when it is needed.

OOC: I may take a planet at some point.

I would like to know:

a. How much this will cost, and
b. What kind of crops are known to be growable on Odysseus(the one I am interested in buying)?

Some OOC Points:

Firstly, the matter of 'buying planets'. No one will be allowed to buy an entire planet. My selling of this territory is strictly an attempt to put together an RPing community and to cut costs of maintaining holdings on my old planets. This leads us to the next point: cost. The cost of the land will depend on two, rather intuitive, factors. First, how much; and second, what quality. The specifics will be worked out when we come to that point. A third point is that I gave very vague descriptions of the planets for a reason. You can RP them how ever you want, to an extent. I don't care what you mine or what crops you grow. Your FT, make the soils work for your crops.

Finally. If anyone wishes to purchase a peice of land I ask that you provide a modest IC post in which you outline the specifics of:

a)Why you want it. This could be any reason, I particularly don't care.
b)Where. The more specific the better but a general idea works too.
c)An approximate size: ei. 2% of the surface

Alright, I hope this clarifies some things, I'll start posting more specifics on the planets like history and such wich may be helpfull. I may even try to find some pics for you.

Greetings from Xeraph!

The Emperor is interested in obtaining a portion of the planet Odysseus. We have for some time settled a number of planets in the Typhon and Taiuuen Expanses in the Constellation Tau Ceti. However, as these planets are rather far away, we would like to settle in an area where other nations have a presence.

If possible, we would like a 100 square mile portion, preferably with an ocean shoreline. The Emperor has in mind a vacation spot where he could relax and entertain guests.

Please forward any costs connected with this request. I'm sure we can come to an agreement.

respectfully,

Baron Cisab, in the Name of the Emperor.

To: Baron Cisab, Xeraph

We would be most willing to sell you a plot of land that fits the requested size. It will be placed on a shorline somewhere near 40 degrees latitude in the northern hemisphere. The location of you holdings has been put at a close proximity to Largentian holdings for both economic support and due to the size it could be vulnerable to agression. For a one month period we will ask that no warships or military presence be within the systems limits, which is simply within Rhea's orbit. Since the land is located on our more hospitable planet in a rather usefull location the price will be set at 10,000,000 standard credits, each equivelent to one Euro. I will look forward to you arrival.

OOC: I will be posting a history of the four inner planets some time today, stay tuned!

Your Majesty,

The Emperor wishes to extend his thanks for granting our request. 10,000,000 SC will be sent upon termination of this transmission. The Emperor and a small entourage will be visiting the site shortly. Perhaps a meeting could be arranged between yourself and the Emperor. He will be arriving on one of our Asana Class Scientific/Medical Cruisers. As you have requested a non-military presence for one month, he has asked that you provide security while the Cruiser is in orbit. A Rynash'a Class Battle Carrier will escort the Emperor to your borders, and will remain there for the alloted time period.

Again, thank you for your consideration.

Baron Cisab

Emperess Elwig Onara,
The Sandeyan Empire would like to invest purchase in enough irrigatable Odyssious land to feed approximatly one-hundred-million people(OOC: I'm not much for farming, so I'm not sure how much this is. 1-3% of the surface?) IC: Ideally, this would be placed on an innundating river far from the poles.
--Sand Princess of the Sandeyan Empire

ooc: Xeraph, consider your order confirmed


To: Sand Princess of the Sandeyan Empire
Subject: Re:Land Purchase

Very well, you shall be located near the equator in the tropics. The price for 3% of the surface, or roughly 51,478,540 sq. km, will have to be set at 15,441,556,210,000 standard credits. If you would prefer a different size or location to make up for the rather steep cost feel free to say so.

~Empress Oronrà

==============================================

History of the Inner Four Planets

Odysseus, the very first planet to breath life into the system. Millions of years ago the people known as the Menothi founded this system. Soon they were met by three other peoples who would become the original four nations of the system. It would be thousands of years before the first explorations to neighboring planets would begin, but soon they were filled with life and all sorts of people.

Following this exploration new faces were slowly introduced to the system. Over the next three thousand years over thirty peoples would inhabit the four main planets. As technology improved colonies could be found on almost every outer planet until all but one planet was inhabitted, that being Rhea which was deemed unlivable. The system experienced a period of great wealth and prosperity and the peoples tended to their economies and lived with a great sense of peace and security. However this would not last. Soon, as imperial aspirations grew so did tensions and finally all but the original four had broken out into either civil war or outright genocide. Most governemnts either collapsed or simply abandoned the system, all except those who had live there for so long.

In the end the original four would be the last four still living on the inner planets. Wars had taken their toll and all colonies were abandoned. Soon, even the Largentians turned their focus to Earth and building and empire based in the sol. These actions angered many and concerns over economic stability were brought up. Once the Largentian Imperial rulers were gone so was order. The innocent Largentian civilians were left alone but all others turned on one another. The fighting raged until only the Menothi were left. They were the first to arrive and they were the only who remained. But then, Largent received a transmission from the Menothi government reading only one word: Genocide.

A party was immediately dispatched only to find the planet of Odysseus stained red, covered in scenes of the horror that had unfolded. Quickly turning to New Largent, they found a small collection of civilians who had survived the onslaught. No reason was ever known for the horrors that took place but now, millions of square miles of Odysseus and New Largent are declared sacred ground where noble men had fallen and no man would ever tread that ground again, the last of the First Four would see to that.

Since, no living being has ever set foot on sacred ground. All who have tired have been killed. Every Largentian would gladly give their life to save the land that will always be considered their true home. They would never allow their ancestors memories to be disgraced in such a manner. All who live on Odysseus would be well advised to be ware.

[ooc: its not much but it sums up what happened to all my friends, they either started wars with each other or were inactive and collapsed. so, if you want to live on odysseus be ware of where you're headed]

"Your talk of 'cursed planets' and 'sacred ground' mean little to us. If we truely have Ikanhulta's grace then we will be protected against any lingering evil that resides on Odysseus."--Sand Princess

We wish to obtain the planet Cassini for mining and other uses.
If approved you can expect a small fleet of starships to enter the system within a few days.

That post was for ooc knowledge and lingering evil wont haunt you, our military might however. Also, are you going to confirm the purchase?

If you will refer to an earlier post you will notice that:
a) You are not allowed to purchase an entire planet
b) I require a specific size request, location, and some IC reason

Also just keep in mind your starships are not allowed to carry any arms until you are deemed a safe neighbor. So, for now I must say that your request is denied until the requirements are met.

Finally, a history of the outer system will be up in a little bit.

Despite my signiture, Sandeyans are very superstitious, so they would assume it was cursed or something. And yes, I would like to confirm the purchase.

Then we shall instead send a battle fleet and take it by force.

Unless you cede 70% of the main land mass of Cassini and allow defense weapons to be emplaced at once....

Why, if you do that, I'll....probably do nothing about it. I'll complain, yes, I'll complain! LOUDLY!!!

Let me just clarify. You want me to essentially let you turn one of My planets into your own little mining/military base. Yeah, definately not. If you for some reason feel the need to attack then go right on and do so bearing in mind that there are a substantial amount of ships in the system with countless defenses in other areas.

Aeigesus is perfect for our 'relocation' program. When may we partake of it, withreasonable payment, not forgetting?

Otagia would be willing to purchase as much of Hera as possible. We would like to enquire as to purchasing the entire planet, given its lack of atmosphere and poor mineral resources.

Yours,
Super
