A small fleet [consisting of 5 inderpendance, 1 atlantis, and 5 sumarta class starships] drops out of hyperspace withing a star cluster of 500 stars and 100 M-class, 200 k-class, 500 a-class, 500-b class, 440 c-class, and 1,000 i, j, or d class. (I have no intrest in maths o im makeing it simple). The ships then proceeded to contact the centeral government about the discovery who sent several thousand emigrents to establish a colony.

OOC: To be honest I would go with 10 M class planets for only 1000 stars, now if it was 500 for say 100 million stars, more believable.

Maybe five M-Class, and some near M(whatever the hell that is.)

Looks good though.

The Terrans had hung around the Waterhelper home system for a little while. Their doing so, and the low technology of the people of Waterhelper, made it a simple thing to intercept the transmission, decode it, and prepare a force to ensure that those who had discovered it would be those who kept it. Several Protoss Carrier Groups, and a pair of HevCruRons, backed by 4 Destroyer Flotillas, was dispatched to the area to defend it against all comers.

The Alterans had been sending out exploratory ships for millenia in their prime, and now that they had returned things would be no different. A single ship, sister to the Aurora was sent to the system, with the materials required to create an advanced colony.

It wshard to miss the appearance of any ships in such a small volume of space, and so near to the powerful Terran and Protoss sensors. They knew where it appeared, and when it appeared. They also knew it definitively WAS NOT from Waterhelper. Intervention was required.

The Terrans simply disappeared, without any flashy pseudo-motion, or massive portals, or anything that was readily detectable without Gravitic Sensors. The Protoss were more than making up for it though. The Arbiters broke open their Warp Gates, and the swirling azure gates sucked in the ships, deposting them in the system they were needed in.

TDoMM (he said the whole thing but if you can't tell i can't spell or type) Please state your intentions here, as formally we are not yet allies.

Just then another ship came out of hyperspace and a Independence class ship was sent to investigate. The ship brought its reactor to full and its shield to full. It initiated red alert and brought all weapons to ready status.

We are here to enforce your soviergnty, and, if you are willing to allow it, we will occupy some few of these systems. Just because we are not formally allies does not mean that we cannot aid each other.

"This is the jackpot we've been looking for!" exlaimed Field Marshall Seville as he loooked over the reports.

"Get a message to the fleet, we leave at once! Largent be damned!"


Slowy from across the sector, Phoenix Militia ships gathered into a mssive formation. 2 Terraforming colony ships and one ultra battleship which was about as big as the colony ships accompianed by nearly 200 other ships. Not to mention the thousands of fighters and shuttles. Along with the colony ships several dozen bison class frieghters and other smaller cargo ships came into formation and the fleet departed at warp 7 to the new system.


"Send a message to this Waterhelper person, and anyone else in the region: we come in peace to start a new colonly in the area and wish to exchange information on diplomatic, trade and mining matters." said the Field Marhsall.
"And attach a note that we will be prepared to respond to any agressors with force."

The Field Marshall then departed to the bridge of his commandship and awaited news of the colonist's arrival.

The Domatavus gracefully moved into orbit around a suitable world, and several of the ships known to most as 'puddle jumpers' slid out of a bay at the bottom, and moved to land on the planet. Before they had landed, the Domatavus' transporters had been used to beam away trees, rocks and earth, to create a large flat plane. Once the jumpers had landed in the general vicinity of the flat area, a fully functional colony unit was beamed into position, just fitting the area cleared for it. Soon it began broadcasting:

This world has been deemed suitable for colonisation by the Alteran race. As such, a colony has been established. Any races in the area wishing to make contact, or to trade, can send a transmission to this location.

The commander of the Domatavus was staring at the world his people had just colonised, when a junior oficer tapped him on the shoulder.

"A sensor sweep of the system reveals a rather rich recent history. No sooner than one race discovers this... Fascinating anomaly, than another swoops in, apparently to ensure sovereignty. When we arrived, a group of ships left with what we can only assume was some attempt at stealth, but some of the ships with them left with such massive energy outputs that we may be mistaken. Yet another group has arrived, apparently to start a mining colony."

"Fleet composition?"

"One large battleship, heavily armed. Two rather inefficient terraforming systems."

"Terraformers? Amusing."

The commander gave a small snort.

You are in territory jointly claimed by the Terran Dominion and Waterhelper. If you do not leave, or heave to and have us escort you out, you will be destroyed, this is your final warning. You are violating the territory of a sovereign nation, whose claims have been insured by the Dominion. You are outnumbered and outgunned, so it would be best if you left quietly.

I would also like to point out that my people have recently allied ourselves with Chronosia, and that should you scratch the paintwork of this ship we would immediately send diplomats to Chronosia to request help."

We have long been allies of the Imperium. Your guns cannot breach our shields, and our size means that we mount more weapons than you. Whoever you are, it matters not, your time is up. You have been warned twice, as per standard operating procedure, now, unfortunately, you must die.

24 Heavy Cruisers, 200 Strike Cruisers, 30 Arbiter, 100 Carriers, and 64 Destroyers unleashed their energy batteries on the enemy, as the vasrious Missile weapons of the Task Force acquired their locks. The carriers scrambled all 80,000 of their tiny Interceptors, and sent them speeding through space towards the enemy.

Too lazy to explain the actual geometry of an Impeller Wedge, so, here's a convenient link. The point is, short of ripping it off of the ship, which takes something like a petaton and change of energy, ther is no way to break the upper and lower aspects of an impeller wedge. Plus, it's RP, there;'s always going to be a bit of "one-upping" involved in any communication.

The officer in charge of the Alteran colony was looking over sensor readings, equipment report sand other such items of interest when he saw something. He walked over to one of the other officers, and whispered to him. The officer nodded.

"Good. Open a channel to the Domatavus."

"Comms ready."

"Domatavus, this is the colony. Interesting readings, Admiral. We have located a Stargate on one of the colony worlds recently set up. We have yet to determine the adress, but we are working on it."

"Excellent."

"I wouldn't reccomend sending anyone through. If the readings are right, then there's a physical object blocking reintegration of the matter stream."

The Hobbeebian fleet slowly made its way to the sector it was given and began to land pods on the planets to begin to set up Dime-jump gates. Gate that are similar to star gates but much more effeciant(SP).

One by one the pods fell down and locked into the ground below. Soldiers and scientist poured out and began to take readings and scans. As the " geeks" did thier jobs the " Jarheads" did thiers setting up the Dime-jump gates.

But not everything went smooth....

The Terrans had set up mining stations on a dozen worlds now, and more forces would be needed to ensure that no "piracy" occured. 5 more Carrier Groups were brought in, more mobile and maneuverable than the Terran vessels, they were also more TACTICALLY flexible, not being reliant on the Wall of Battle that typified Terran ship to ship actions, sure, they were more vulnerable without the Impeller Wedges, but it was considered worth it in the long run.

OOC: That's a blatant Godmod. The entire point of FTLi is to stop FTL travel, for example, my FTLi prevents modifications to the Real Space wall, meaning if you try to open a gate, all you get is an expenditure of power, and posibly, depending on what kind of FTL you use, catastrophic damage to your drives.

To be exact, we are not traveling faster then light. So Faster then light travel inhabitors would be usless. We also are not modifing the real space wall. We are sliping into another dimension. we do this by preforming a Dime-phase into the dimension of our choice by making the other dimension open the wall like oil with a drop of water. Its not easy to explain. And I am work so I cant really get to indepth.

Opening ANY Dimensional gate modifies the real space wall! That's what modifying the real space wall is DEFINED as. If you want to use Water references, then the Real Space wall under my FTLi would be a slab of solid ice, meaning you "oil" jus slides off.

The colony's commander had been impatiently waiting for the response from Vis Uban for hours. When it finally arrived, he grinned. He had the address for the Waterhelper gate.

"The authorities of Vis Uban pulled thier collective fingers out and searched the database. We have an address for the stargate currently in foreign hands in this system. Get dialling, people!"

Soon the familiar sight of the unstable wormhole was seen, quickly stabilising into something safe. The Alterans sent a message through.

The dime-gates where active, all except one. This one was malfunctioning. a very rare thing to happen with Hobbeebian Dime-tech. But after some work the gate was opened and soon colonist began to inhabit the planets. COnstruction crews and other teams began to work on city structures and city systems to make the planet more livable. But the same DIme gate began to malfunction again. This time a group of Colonist where lost somewhere in the 40th Dimension. Soon the gate began to show signs of degeneration of dimenional stability. The gate began to pulse and soon exploded. The explosion cuased the planet to split in two. But the two side stayed close and the atmoshpere was not breached.

OOC:

Being a “Dime-Tech” nation, I am forced to agree with Hobbeebia here because you forget the time-space continuum is part of the dimensional structure of the Multiverse. Opening a "Dime-gate" would not be altering the STC in any way. It would be only stepping up to another “level” of existence.

I am not agreeing with him because I possess this type of tech, but because I have read extensively over the past 18+ months upon the subject and I have developed a view of the dimensions where your wall would not affect (at least not in my drives). I am not sure how Hobbeebia’s works.

If the method you described worked, it would disrupt the natural flow of energy throughout the dimensional structure, resulting in a nasty effect upon your barrier. Think of a dam breaking under the floodwaters…of a type VI hurricane. The results would not only be catastrophic to your nation, but also to the entire star cluster.

The Big Bang was caused by the collision of two “objects” in the Proto-Universe. The ripples caused the scattering of matter which is thought to be the reason why matter is not evenly spaced. This is according to Machu Kaku (http://www.mkaku.org/).

I am just stating my opinion.


Also, what is the range of your FTLi?

Now about my Dime-gate explosion. The dime gates have a very limited dime-phase ability, which means we have very little energy in use from the dimensioanl areas. So the explosion was "small". Now If my Large spacecraft had a malfunction it would have sucked for everyone...

OOC: The range, depending on the size and number of ships involved, is a minimum of one light minute for a DD, and up to an entire system for a Task Fleet or Carrier Group. The only reason my FTLi is made that way is to force people to stand and fight, it's not designed to be "workable" and it's designed specifically to stop "unstoppable" FTL drives, which I feel are bad RP. No offense Bal, but why have something that can't be beaten?

Vis Uban Gatebuster Site

Technicians scurried around the central obelisk of the gate buster device. Preparations were evidently being made. the city was at a heightened state of alert with the impending war on SeaQuest, but the news from Domatavus had caused even more activity. The threats by Mini Miehm had caused much alarm. One of the technicians, a tall white-haired Alteran, was standing around, talking to one of the military officers assigned to the gate buster site.

"Commander, with all due respect the actual owners of the gate have shown no hostility."

"The people who claim to represent their sovereignty have made direct threats to the Domatavus. Prepare to cloak the site and activate the device at any moment."

"I must protest..."

"You don't have a choice."

"Yes sir."

________________________________

"Attention, Waterhelper: our diplomatic team is preparing to enter your side."

Three Alterans clad in the standard white military uniform stepped through the gate. One carried a data pad. Their holsters were visibly empty, but each one carried a small beacon on their left arm.
Waterhelper
08-02-2006, 23:48
as they saw the dignaaries had no weapons a order came out "All defence teams stand down" and a trained diplomat came up. "Please this way" *He points to a prefabricated facility*
The Gate Builders
08-02-2006, 23:52
The lead Alteran bowed to the diplomat, and followed.

"We are most excited to come into contact with one of the races who has found our technology at such an... Early stage of technological development. Fascinating."

The entire Alteran diplomatic team was looking around them, as an archaeologist studies a roman artifact.

"Yes well so far we only have 100 addresses due to radom dialing and finding of adresses. We are hoping the ruins here will provide more." *They enter the building* "Wellcome to Government center three"
The Gate Builders
08-02-2006, 23:57
The lead Alteran spoke again.

"We were hoping you would say something like that. This datapad contains roughly 500 adresses leading to worlds rich in resources, and worlds with friendly or underdeveloped races inhabiting them. We can give your our guarantee you won't be attacked if you explain who gave you the adresses. I suggest you take it and start dialling."
Waterhelper

*He takes the datapad supicious of him then calls a gard to take this to the SGC (I am so unoriginal :) )* ''thankyou but what we really ned is technology as we have to depend on foreign powers for protection." *He shows them into the room where the colony's rules sat and the king on a veiwscreen*
The Gate Builders
09-02-2006, 00:07
The diplomat bowed to the leaders of the colony.

"I am afraid that I am not permitted to give away technology. We have only ever recently willingly given any other race our technology with restrictions on reverse-engineering. Even that took many strong debates with the High Council. I find it highly unlikely that they would allow me to sign away our technology to a group we have only just met. No offense, but if we had our way you wouldn't have gained access to the Astria Porta. Nobody would. That we cannot change, and do not want to. however, we have strict limitations on providing our technologies to races at a lower technological level. We could provide some of our hand weapons perhaps."

He hesitated for a second.

"We could organise a crew exchange, in which one of our Aurora class battleships remained in your system."

The Balrogga Empire is interested in possibly claiming one of the territories divided up by Waterhelper. If you are willing to have The Empire move into your cluster, please respond.

If possible, we would prefer one near the center. It would be best to be centrally located in order to take advantage of the 20 possible nations trade from that vantage point.

The Terran Dominion had started a new colony on a world in the area, it was small, but growing fast. It was rather out of the way, and weakly defended, so an entire Company of ACS was stationed there. A squadron of Scout Suits detected something unnatural and went to investigate, digging it out with entrenching charges to expose a Stargate...

We apreciate your trust in allowing us to establish ourselves in the cluster you discovered. We will immediatelt set up a trade hub of a sorts for the other residents to use as a common meeting grounds and for trade between each other.

In an attempt to show our gratitude, we would like to offer our support to the nation of Waterhelper in quelling any flare up of temper. We will move several ships into our territory and we will use them at your request to settle disputes between any parties who are having a difacult time acting civil. These security forces would obviously remain under our command but we will use them as requested in a policing action to provide not only a secure trading enviroment but also a safe place to live.

Please contact us if you have any questions.

Everything was business as usual in the quickly crowding system. However what was not business as usual was the sudden appearance of over 50 DoD jumps. Prefecture of Tannelorn ships did not often range this far away from Sol. However it was a little know fact explorator detachments were often seen as far out as the edge of the spiral arm in looking for new homes to solve the massive overcrowding problems faced in the asteroid belt and on mars. Already they had claimed one system with three habitable worlds.

This was an opportunity too good to pass up. 50 of the 500 meter long cruisers of the Prefecture glided in through the tears in reality. They made haste for a distant gas giant. They had detected three habitable worlds. Enough to transfer almost 600 million tannelornians according to prefecture overcrowding protocols. Still this was a pin prick. City asteroids designed to accomodate no more then ten thousand often had to accomodate up to 40 000 citizens. It was becoming a nightmare. Cut off from Divine mars due to the arrogance of the king they had to do whatever it took to ensure their survival..and their liebenstraum.

The long angled vessels moved in to position over the planet...forming up in wide pickets as they launched Morgenreate high maneuver frames to screen them from any potential threats. Each vessel produced almost as much power output as a small sun. It was needed to power the massive expenditures due to the phased armour, and massively powerful energy weapons famed of the Prefecture fleet. Perhaps the best energy weapons in the Sol system.

Anyone watching would notice an intense amount of activity around the massive jovian planet..centered around its moons but not entirely restricted to them. A single broadcast was transmitted to the other denizens of this system.

Do not approach within 6 million kilometers of New Carpentaria, any vessels caught within this exclusion zone without extenuating circumstance will be warned away, boarded or even destroyed depending on the level of resistance. Stay out of our way.

Perhaps it was fate; with it's uncertain hand that guides the universe to madness; perhaps it was destiny, as written in a great and dusty tome; that this day came to be. That they returned to the galactic fold; and of all the places in the universe they ended up here; around an M-Class world, operated by the Terran's. It was one of 60; one of the original 60; and it had travelled far; blindly, madly; lumbering through the abyss...Hunger had gnawed at them; terrible ruinous hunger; and soon, soon they had begun to awaken.

The Hive Ship appeared; almost ponderously pulling out of hyperspace; almost immediately; the Darts came. They plunged upon the world; this fertile world; and, almost like gnats, or locusts; seemed to cloud the sky; flanking above the Terran base as their Culling beams initiated. The Wraith had come; and these humans would provide them with the sustenance and the information they required. Too long had they went without feeding; now; they would feast.

OOC: Damn, I was perfectly happy to have attacked you too...

Wraith warriors moved like shadows; as false images; almost-ghost like in their fabrication; danced into their vision. A mist that wasn't there seemed to sweep about them as they moved. One of the leaders was perched atop a rooftop, leaping down, pressing his feeding arm against a victim's chest, sighing, shuddering as he fed, his long white hair falling about his shoulders as he glanced up; many of the Dart's had returned. The first meals would soon begin...But first he knew; there would be business to attend to.

The Queen's Chamber

Looming over one of the captured beings from below; watchign with a predatory gleam; the Queen moved; dressed in black, ornate bindings, watching; moving, softly stepping forth. It did not speak; instead, those victims fortunate, or unfortunate, enough to be in it's presence; heard it, whispering inside their heads. About them, coffin-like structures lined the walls; Wraith had already emerged, feeding on some; others stood off to the side, watching; the Warrior's stood, stoic, unresponsive; waiting...

The Terran Battlecruisers appeared silently, flashing only a gravitic signature as they tore free of Hyperspace, they knew the threat posed by the Wraiths secondhand, and they targeted everything they had on the enemy ship. 12 Yamato cannon and many more Burst Lasers struck out againstthe enemy Hive Ship. They had no hope of taking out all of the Darts, but if they could destroy the queen...

Where do you come from? This is your world? It pauses, and then forces it's mind upon him. Tell me.Answer...Answer...ANSWER! It moves forward; and now begins speaking. "We are far from our feeding grounds; these stars are not our stars....But they shall suffice" Fingers brush the hair and cheek of an adjacent man; "You need not fear us" She slides her hand down, tearing open the man's shirt, before thrusting her hand against his chest, hissing as she begins to feed; the man aging, hair fading from black to white, flesh wrinkling, tightening, loosening; a low moan emanating from his throat.

"You must be hunger...You understand that, do you not? To be a slave to urges? To be a fool to circumstance. But we are what we are, are we not? Would you understand us, I wonder; were you in our position....If you knew our predations?"

The ship shook, a glance of annoyance cutting across her features; replaced by an almost idle smirk; turning, raising her head lightly. The guns of the great vessel open against the Terrans; while the Dart's make yet more attack runs; opening up with energy weapons; looking for opportunities to transport new prey; or to teleport more of their warriors into the offending vessels. The Queen closes her eyes; it is good...It is playing out well; conflict; an assessment of the feeding stock; an example of their power.

The guns fire again; lashing out against the assault of the Terrans; as the Wraith ready themselves...

Telepathy is such an insightful gift" Kneel. A raw wave of psychic persuasion as she advances. "Little toys; truly remarkable that you belittle yourselves with technology. They keep you alive; why do I somehow doubt they are capable of single-handedly exterminating us?" There are countless...Many ships; millions of our kind....Tell me of your worlds.

"As usual...Ignorant." She smirks once again. "You assume our feeding takes of your blood; the plasma that nourishes your organs; where the tiny machines dwell." SHe forces her mind against his again. "You could probably destroy the vessel, if you put your mind to it; even at the cost of your life. But you shall not" A gesture and a Warrior moves; his Stunner lifted, and now he fires; again and again.

"The shock will stop your little toys, and you...A pity; you were just beginning to amuse. Food can always be so...Unappreciative of it's place. Bring me one of the others."

The ship lashes out again and again against it's foes; whether with it's main guns, or by the vast array of Dart's that now propogate themselves against their foe; three Cruisers slide free; to provide additional back-up.

Move us...These morsels grow tiresome.

The Dart's made sweeping runs against the Terran forces; lashing out with energy weapons and culling beams; intent on taking as many as they could. The hunger swelled, it festered and grew...The Queen had given her commands; twofold. They were the first part of it; even as the Hiveship began to move off; maintaining steady fire at it's foes; even as it shuddered and shook with impact.

A group of warriors had appeared; intent on fighting their way to the Gate; as above them, Dart's dove in suicidal runs against their foes; others intent on accessing the gate; on going through it...To find what lay on the other side...

Every ACS Trooper touched by one of the energy weapons was destroyed, but for evey one that died, they unleashed hundreds of thousands of Grav-Gun rounds into the air, reaching out at .3c to tag the Darts flying above, several Troopers were taken under the Culling Beams, but many more fought on, a single Reaper Fire Team broke off from the fight againstthe Darts to cover the Gate. They were low on ammo, but they were heavily armored, and had enough firepowr in each shot to gut most enemies they would face on the ground.

"What do you want? Thing? You are no Ghost or Templar to invade my thoughts. What do you WANT?"

The ACS were tough, the stunners were powerful, but bolt after bolt slammed home against their thick armor to no effect, they were designed to take all the worst that a powerful nuclear device could throw t them, and remain fully active. They fought on, taking loss after loss, but still dealing out as much damage as they could. Hundreds of thousands of DU Teardrops lashed out at their foes, they were dying, but the Wraiths would know that they had met the Terrans.

Around the Gate the fire team was hard pressed, millions of monomolecular flechettes flashed from their guns, enough to shatter any advancing host, and yet the Wraiths came on, flesh shredding under their assault to close again and rise anew to fight... They used their grenades a dozen times, blasting at the enemy with anti-matter and iridium casings, another Trooper managed to bring their only Terrawatt laser in to play for a moment, until he fired it one time too many, overloading the safeties on the lasing cavity, and detonating the system in a trememndous blast that sent the remaining Troopers flying in all directions, all except the pair at the gate, they had backed against the mysterious sunbstance that held against most any assault, and were nearly crushed by the gees they experienced, their weapons were swept away on a wavefront of destruction, but when the smoke cleared, there were still two critically damaged suits bracketing the gate, drawing their palmate blades to hold as best they could against the unending assault...

"The Gates? The Stargates? They were made by the Alteran scum... We found them that's all. We can't make anything like them."

The Alterans couldn't believe it.

The bridge crew was rushing from station to station, double-checking reports, doing their best to prove that this threat couldn't be what it looked like... In the end, a futile attempt to justify their fears of this ancient enemy. When the final confirmation arrived, the captain turned white.

"This can't be happening. They should have starved!"

"They must have gone dormant. Nothing we could do. We had our sights set on higher things, sir."

"Damnit!... Can't be helped... Bring the ship to bear on the Wraith. Full shields, ready the drones. One-half thrust."

The Aurora-class ship slid through space towards the Wraith Hive Fleet, broadcasting threats.

Attention Wraith ships: leave this area. You have one hour to cease operations and leave, or you will be fired upon and destroyed without mercy. If memory serves, you won't last long, so just leave.

ooc not hostile per se, only paranoid and very very interested in obtaining land..and fast. We are more then willing to be friendly..but not until we have what we need. 5.6 billion people in tannelorn. and right now we have massive overcrowding going on. These three planets and the gas giant can support 700 million Tannelornians, so far with this system and another we discovered and claimed for ourselves, we have about space for 1.4 bil. we still need to offload easily another 1.4 bil to reach the overcrowding goals heh. My country is crowded in to a small section of the Asteroid field right now, and the asteroid field itself has enough mass to make a small planet maybe half the size of mars. See the dilemma haha. Dont worry i dont intend to shoot anyone..actually i want to talk.


We will fight if pressed, but my country to let all of you know doesnt invade people. We have in defense and we have been in our share of wars..and have a fleet that well. Lets just say no one will be shooting anyone here so long as we are around. Think of me as a peacekeeper Waterhelper. A very big and powerful peacekeeper in the system. This is the ooc explanation for why we were so aggressive about taking a world. We dont just want to lease it..we need it. You guys are within 4 days jump of sol, making this a perfect and necessary choice. Tannelornians love a good scrap, but hate war.


IC
Within a few days another communication followed the first, this was entirely different in tone. The three worlds and surrounding planetoids had been bustling with activity as the explorator fleet set up shop.

Greetings, we apologise for our original rudeness but we did not wish to be interrupted. The Divine Prefecture of Tannelorn greets you, and urges you to listen to the words of Waterhelper, there shall be no violence. We have claimed this world and its stellar bodies as our own. However we do not wish to simply share this system, but our culture and learning with you all. If you wish you may set up diplomatic offices within our cities, once construction in earnest begins.

Waterhelper you have expressed a fear you cannot keep the peace on your own. Worry not we shall act as your hand in this system, in exchange for this world. Good barter we hope. We have much to offer nations interested in good relations and friendly exchanges with the Prefecture, and we hope that you take us up on our offer. However any threats to our claimed territory shall not be brooked easily, and expect to be turned away, boarded or even destroyed depending upon your persistance.The original exclusion zone of 4 million kilometers only extends to military vessels, now that we have stabilised our perimeter. once again we extend our greetings to you all.And Waterhelper, say the world and we shall stop the current conflict raging in this system, to make good on our propsed trade.

One thing could be noticed now over all else above New Carpentaria, much of the activity was from the simple fact that the Prefecture vessels were on full combat alert, Morgenreates circling in loose formation, ready to move at a moments notice.

OOC:

You now have two large nations offering to be your right and left hand to police the cluster. My offer seemed to go unnoticed because of your RP with the Wraiths. It would be fun to watch them try their interrogation tricks against me….



IC:

“Sir, apparently we have new neighbors that seem quite defensive.”

“Let them be for now. They will eventually relax or they will try something that would require our action. Keep an eye on them.”

“Yes Sir.”


A couple days later:

“Sir, the Tannelorns are broadcasting a general message.”

“Let’s hear it.”

The Comm officer manipulated the controls and the message played over the displays.

‘”Send a single ship. The Gale Wind is a frigate class and one of the smallest military ships we use. Send the torpedo frigate along with a diplomatic envoy to establish contact with them. We should try to act together seeing as we both offered to help Waterhelper in the same way.”


The next day:

A single ship Emerged from T-Space. The 200 meter Torpedo Class frigate faded into existence as it left the 7th dimension and solidified in Real Space. The ship’s torpedo tubes were closed and the ship stopped on the edge of the system.

“Greetings Tannelorn. We have received your broadcast to Waterhelper. We would like to initiate contact between our two nations and establish a way we both can assist them in keeping the peace in the cluster.”

So...You did survive. How curious. As we remember it, you fled when numbers over-powered you...An amusing end to your wretched race...And to think we never knew where you fled. These feeding grounds so rich with life; these new worlds...So like the Earth that was promised us so long ago...We have negotiated a peace with these beings; we have arranged a withdrawl. Now; stand down...You have no business to tell us what to do; you have no right to dare to attempt to Control us.

The Queen seethed; thrusting her arm against the chest of a nearby victim; such force in that blow as to impale him to the wall; held aloft, slowly aging; her ministrations draining it...

"We are not cattle. If you want our help you would do well to remember that. That being said, I suggest the Thrashians, the Abh, Seaquestians, there are many cultures you may feed upon, and most of them are our enemies. Preying upon our allies in the Imperium, or the Empire would be unhealthy, where we are powerful but few in number, they have us outnumbered by tenfold, and they are nearly as dangerous as we are."

The Battlecruisers had halted their assault. Fleet Strike automatically outranked ANY other commander, and this was a Captain, a line officer. Now they assembled again, effecting what repairs they could with their quick-nano technology, but it wouldn't be enough to return them to full operating capacity. The first reinforcements had arrived, a single Protoss Carrier Group were finally in the system, and they would do their best to hold off the hostile Alteran ship.

This galaxy is rich in life; and those you suggest are unfamiliar...But you shall aid us, and in return; we shall aid you. Such is the nature of our compact." She paced about the chamber, smoothing a hand across her clothing, bending, examining the Terran again. "Rise." Rise Rise

"Tell me more of this galaxy; of these worlds...Of how the Gate Builders still live..." She cocked her head, as though suddenly vexed. "This timing is a most distasteful interruption to the Feeding. We require...More sustenance. The Hive stirs. We return, and find feeding grounds full to bursting with presumptuous, ignorant cattle. They must be taught a measure of..." Her feeding hand, clawed, flickers across his cheek, as she mockingly carresses him. "...Respect"

They are old, but Protoss were created by those even older than they, and that makes them older. The creations of the Xel'Naga will break the backs of the Alterans with ease. Now, targets... The Tannelornians, they have a large presence in this region, though the Balroggans may contest any action you take here. Perhaps those from the Great Forge, or perhaps, almost certainly, the Seaquestians. In fact, the Seaquestians seem like a very good target, we even have detailed data on all of their populated systems..."

"Open fire, all Robot Interceptors to deal with the Drones, Yamatos, Particle Disruption Cannon, Grasers, Plasma EVERYTHING and Burst Lasers to target the enemy ship. Destroy them all."

5 Yamato Blasts seared through space, enough to shatter a pair of ISDs, and cripple a third, while Burst Lasers, Terrawatt range blasts of coherent light, hammered at their shields. Particle Disruption Cannon, Grasers, and various forms of Plasma weaponry all streaked from the Protoss ships, older and more powerful than the Alterans were. They would destroy any who opposed them.

The Alteran commander laughed.

"Open a hyperspace window NOW! Bring us up behind them!"

The window was opened, and the ship entered it, exiting milliseconds later behind a terran ship. Not quick enough to avoid a glancing hit from a Yamato cannon. There was a brief dimming of the lights ont he bridge, which quickly ended.

"Damage report?"

"Jumper bay 1 recieved burns to the deck. The lights were briefly shorted out... Nothing major."

"Fire all energy weapons at their engines, full power, close arc."

"Aye sir. One bitch-buster coming up."

Ten energy lances streaked towards the engine outlets of the terran ship, aimed to collapse them.

"You stupid bastards! The Wraith WILL consume you!"

OOC: I RP the Protoss as effectively immortal, and several million years old. They mention an entire AEON of tribal warfare, they got VERY good at killing things in that time. And remember, this isn't straight SC tech, it's better, and capable of many things Blizzard never imagined. And Terran ships no longer use reaction engines.

IC:

The rear of the ship was shredded, but that was a minor inconvenience. They no longer used inefficient reaction engines, and the Impeller Nodes remained intact.

"You are fools. They cannot hope to oppose us and win, we have them outnumbered, and we are certainly more powerful than you will ever be, begone or die."

Warp Gates opened, and through them came 100 deadly Protoss Strike Cruisers, they apperaed through the Gates, let them fall shut, and then brought up their deadly FTLi, trapping the enemy in a deadly crossfire between the Terran Battlecruisers and Protoss Carriers, and the Protoss Strike Cruisers. Plasma flew through space at such short ranges that there was effectively no time to react, and a second Yamato shot quickly followed the first volley as the ships turned to face the enemty again. They were too numerous for the enemy to possibly win.

40,000- Robot Interceptors chased after the Alteran Drones, unleashing Plasma and swarming, hundreds to each enemy.

[Directly mentioned as 'several centuries' of tribal civil war. Guess what? The Alterans fought a several-century war against the Wraith...

A reply was sent to the Balroggan vessels as they approached, as well as a flight path to a small staging point where the Lord of the fleet was orchestrating the operation. As the Balroggan ship neared the Prefecture perimeter it was met by two Sword cruisers. 500 meters long and producing the power output of a small sun the sword was a fearsome sign. The barrels and nodes of its massed ranks of incredibly powerful energy weapons glinted off the far light of the sun.

As the ship neared a million kilometers of the point it recieved a signal, only around 3 seconds of delay between them, they could start to talk. "Greetings and welcome to Carpentaria, if you come respectfully and in peace then you shall be welcomed as a friend. We agree with your position on enforcing peace in this system..and currently have the means to do so". A group of cruisers and carriers were off in the distance, noticeable by standard optical sensors, forming together and preparing to interject in the current fighting.

First columns of Morgenreate high maneuver frames, the famed and deadly multi purpose combat vehicle of the Tannelornian armed forces zoomed off towars the fighting, rapidly closing in their high speed form. As one the cruisers started to move, massive blue plumes igniting from their engines as they started to move towards the fighting, picking up speed rapidly.

This was going to be an interesting day after all.

OOC: It is referred to as an AEON, that means it's an AEON. I don't wank my numbers, I did some watching of available material, and worked out that a Protoss ship has exactly one crew. Watch the only movie that has an inner view of a carrier, it depicts Tassadar alone crewing the Gantrithor, meaning that if their LARGEST ships have one crew, their smallest ones must too.

If you want to get into number wanking, you don't have the population to even crew all of your ships without some kind of egregious wankery. I have nearly 2 BILLION, you have only 200 MILLION, I am a full order of magnitude larger than you.

[That's total bullshit. Regardless of crew requirements, there's still the massive costs of building those things. I still say you're wanking. Anyway, Tassadar was an incredibly powerful psionic, and the Gantrithor was a special unit. I somehow doubt all Protoss ships are single-crew affairs. The ignore stands.

10-02-2006, 21:30
ooc ok put it like this. There wont be fighting in a sec anyways trust me on this one. Now as for numbers and all that. Comparatively equal. Your nations are very similar in size and strength. So there fore depending on how much you sent all that well, there you go. Now however when it comes to Balrogga and i, depending on the RP'd pasts of our nations. Well in my instance i dont really have much of a ground army. Tannelorn is a naval power. And we are about to show you why if you dont stop when we tell you. No meanness just we are about to have a friendship summit..and you better be friendly. haha.

The Tannelorn vessels approached the battle rapidly now, firing off waves of high powered nuclear missiles,the intention to disperse the fleets and blind their sensors. Tannelorn had long past gone fearing such weapons as ship killers. High powered loengren and ingelstung cannons were charged and fired. The combined energies of over 1400 megatons of nuclear power focused in to a massive gamma ray laser. They fired across the battle, aiming for empty space..the massive bolts still powerful even at 3 million km range. This was followed by a signal. "Cease and desist all fighting, or be destroyed. All parties Come to and prepare an envoy to be dispatched to the Divine Salient of light."

Divine Salient was obviously one of the Battle ships sent there. It glided ahead of the column its massive 1 kilometer frame dwarfing the cruisers behind it. The Tannelornian ships came on,weapons charged to full and PBS systems active in front of the ships..impatiently awaiting a positive response.

OOC: If that's the only argument you can come up with, then I'm afraid that you'll be doomed to RPing with effectively no one. Most nations couldn't support even 10 ISDs, but there are nations with fleets that are thousands strong. My fleets are SMALL in comparison to some. Now, if you're done being ignorant, we have an RP to finish.

I'd also like to know why you think Carriers are ruinously expensive to build and maintain. They're relatively cheap when compared to most ships on NS, same goes for BCs and my other ships. ISDs cost billions of dollars. Carriers can be put together, without any workforce, using only raw materials, in a month or so.

If I don't know the requirements for yours, you can't know them for mine. Turnabout is fair play you know. But, if your ships are as large as they sdound, they should have crews in the thousands or tens of thousands. AT LEAST.

IC:

Nukes? Lasers? MEGATON range weapons??? That was weak... The Terrans had nothing to fear from such weapons, and their sensors could not be blinded by hard radiation, they didn't detect energy, they detected gravitic disruptions, making them almost impossible to mislead.

Transmission

They attacked those with which we have made a deal, and you are interfering where youy are not wanted, stay in your territory and we will have no problems. Enter this fight and we will swarm you under.

ooc ok mini Sorry to say you have ALOT to fear. The nukes are not trying to hurt you..they jam sensors. And its not megaton range, thats the catalyst for a laser that matches the power output of a gamma ray burst from a black hole. Seriously my defense force is 349 in the world all fleet all rp'd since feb 2003. Did i mention my fleet isnt thousands either. I have refined these weapons over 150 years and stolen tech from races over 65 million years old who specialised in laser to refine it further. This is a one hit one kill weapon on people i RP with. Think of it as a gravitic compression weapon. With a different mode of power transmission.

The Protoss ships had ignored the warning shot. They kept moving..ranging to 2 million kilometers. This time when the PBS system moved allowing the shot, they aimed for the protoss vessels. Tannelornian's were excellent shots. Each one bred for his or her purpose, each one modified again and again till they were a perfect living instrument. Massive bolts of energy lanced out from the vessels. A devastating rain of death, precise and powerful enough punch a 50 x 50 meter hole through the best of armour.

Hope fully when a large number of the Protoss vessels vanished in a plume of fire, they would be far more willing to negotiate.

((OOC: your gate buster wouldn't work as you would have to get through the Iris that i closed manually after TSoMM troops came through and then that eliminates the need for you escaping so you are still here fighting.))
IC: THE AGREEMENT WAS THAT THERE WOULD BE NO FIGHTING!!! IF YOU FIGHT WE WILL BLOCKADE YOUR PLANETS HERE. SO PLEASE STOP.
The acting governer was mad he asked for no fighting yet here they were.
...space...
using the adgard transporter, nanobots were layed down as a mine field if they tried to escape into hyperspace they would attach to them in the time that they had to lower their sheilds. With this method any escaping ship would be made into more useful nanobots that would overwhelm them.
Message: Any ship taht tries to escape will be converted into nanobots. Lower your sheilds and weapons and prepare to be boarded. Your ships will then be taken back to the homeworld. If you try to resist you will be converted so i suggest you dont. (a starting FT nation need stratagies this is one of them a large mass of pre programmed nanobots that will function unitl a order to hibernate comes)

You are acting rather futilely. You know that you cannot blockade ouyr planets successfully, and that without us you would have been overrun by the Wraith. Cease threatening us.

The Terrans wouldn't fire on the Waterhelper units unless they actually put people on their ships, and then it would be the Marine contingents doing the firing.

Message:
no but using the same nanotechnology we could just send one ship and convert everything on the planet into nanobots or another thing that would be disastrous to your economy or beneficial to us. The ship would be entirely composed on nanobots around a naquadah rector and hyperdrive engine. The nanobots would then disperse over your world.

IC: Next person who fires will get converted into nanobots or will ed up having their planets converted into nanobots. Also Gate builders disengage your "gate buster".
The nanobots were becoming like a wall ecause the replicators on the ships churned them out into space. Also they were ready to ;atch on to anyship that dared to fire another weapon. A few of the nanobot seige weapons were also presnt just incase TDoMM (or anyone else... they are going to eliminate all trade and they will slowly starve a colony to death) tried to violate this

Message to Tannelorn:

“We agree that it would be best in everyone’s interest if all hostilities were to be ended in any way possible. We will work with you in an effort to stop the madness the younger nations are perpetuating. You can count on our support in this policing action. We have ships almost there already. By the time you receive this message, they will be on site, but hidden from their sensors.”

“We must do anything to end this battle before the entire globular super cluster fragments from nations into war parties. We must put the fear of reprisal in them so they will not willingly jump into war so easily.”


The middle of the battle:

A single Vengeance Destroyer faded into existence as it Emerged from T-Space in the middle of the battlezone.

“Captain, they are still fighting even after the Tannelorn vessels delivered their ultimatum. Avatar Systems functioning fully. Space Minus Tap fully powered.”

“Target the nearest moon with the Cutters. Let’s show them what we can do.”

“Yes Sir.”

“Afterwards, open a channel to each of them. We will have to broadcast one last ultimatum. I hope for their sakes they will listen.”

The destroyer targeted one of the forward Cutters on the nearest moon. A purple energy beam shot outwards, aimed just above the horizon of the moonlet. With a sweeping motion, the beam was swung downwards. The purple beam struck the surface of the moonlet and carried out the back. As it swept downwards, it began to cleave the little moon in twain. Rubble flew away from the incision as the beam traveled through the wounded satellite. As it reached the bottom, it broke free of the moonlet and the beam remained unbroken, shining eerily in the dark of space. The two halves of the moonlet slowly drifted, held together by their gravitational pull.

Message beamed to Mini Miehn, Waterhelper, Gate Builders, and The Wraith Hivefleets:

The Balrogga Empire has been given residence within this cluster of stars and we possess 1/20th of it. We will not tolerate any warfare that threatens our territories here. It for this reason we have joined with Tannelorn in the policing of the entire cluster.

If everyone involved does not immediately stand down, we will be forced to use our technology upon you. A word of warning, we do not take prisoners so if you fight, you will be destroyed. You will be wiped from existence. There will not even be wreckage left over for the vultures to pick through.

Your primitive technologies will not be able to halt the ships I can throw at you. Granted, you might get a few lucky shots, but the price will be the total decimation of your navies. Once you no longer have a navy, we will move onto your worlds. The lives of millions of your citizens now rest in your hands. If you do not lay down your weapons, their blood will be on your own heads. We speak to you like this to show you we are not playing any games. We have but one fleet here, but within a few minutes we could have another dozen.

The choice is yours. Live in peace, or die.

Now please cease hostilities in this system we dont care if you take it to anyother star system just dont do it here as pretaining to our agreement.

Arcturus Ascendant arrived in the system, it's hyperspace window disguised as a plasma storm by the venting of the conduits and the timely usage of some of the weapons, coupled by the activation of the cloak. It quickly moved to a position that would allow it to quickly launch a puddlejumper to board a Wraith Hiveship.

Arcturus Ascendant Flight Deck

Two squads of Alteran troops, armed to the teeth and armoured like tanks, had gathered by a pair of puddle jumpers. They were obviously discussing thier upcoming mission. Most of them were shifting about nervously, adjusting the settings of their rifles (larger versions of the hand weapons seen in Aurora) to make sure they would stun rather than kill their target.

"Our job today is to capture a single Wraith specimen. It doesn't matter what kind it is, though we've been told that command would prefer one unmasked. You'll be going in cloaked, and going out hot. One puddle jumper will hold position outside the bay doors of the Hiveship, whilst a team plants explosives around the edges. Squad two's jumper will fly in during the chaos and nab us a Wraith. We'll keep it sedated and take it to the brig, at which point the techs have to take responsibility for it. Any questions?"

"Yes sir."

"I don't care. Mount up soldiers!"

The troops boarded their jumpers, which immediately cloaked, and flew toward one of the dart bays of the Hiveship.
The Wraith Hivefleet
12-02-2006, 04:02
"Such a random occurence..."

More often than not, serves as other than random?

Indeed; proceed to the docking bays; the next wave is ready to deploy. I wish you there One of the male Wraith nodded at his Queen's instruction, moving swiftly, accompanied by Guards.

Meanwhile; the newest wave of Dart's were readying for deployment; flying test exercises and defensive runs around the ship; one hurtled forth; almost clipping the Jumper as it did. The Male arrived at the docking stations; only mildly aware and irritated by the incessant humming.
The Gate Builders
12-02-2006, 04:08
A single Alteran trooper floated silently through space toward the edge of the dart bay, carrying a deadly package. With infinite care, he attatched a small, box-like object to the hull, and pressed a few buttons. When he turned, he was visibly flustered, in a hurry to return to his ship.

On a masked frequency, the jumper he returned to broadcasted a signal. If it had been intercepted, it would have sounded like a clear, high-pitched note. It had a definate purpose.

The small object attatched to the hull exploded with the force of a supernova contained in a 50 meter radius, showering the area around the explosion with plasma. The second cloaked jumper moved into the dart bay, it's nervous cargo whincing every time they got close to a dart. Eventually, they spotted a large group of wraith.

"We've been rumbled. Crap. Pilot, set us down behind them and lower the ramp. Close of the cockpit. Don't decloak. Get ready boys, we're going to get shot at. A lot."

The jumper landed a hundred meters behind the Wraith, and lowered the ramp. The troops rushed out, opening fired immediately.

12-02-2006, 04:16
The Male hissed, indicating; his entourage opening fire at the advancing Alterans; he roared, watching them come; his rage building, growing; even as more soldiers rushed forth; their weapons firing in a near constant stream of blasts of energy; enough to incapacitate their old enemies. One had rushed forward, eager to fight; before a blast to the leg had torn him down; weakened him; forcing him to his knees; disorientated before the Male's hand had slammed into his chest, lifting him; feeding upon him, this one, these ones...Somehow sweeter than any other feast. He held him aloft; watching the Alterans.

"Wretched cattle; foolish little beasts! You only hasten your own demise by Angering us!" He watched it age; felt life and strength nourish him; before tossing the shrivelled; dry carcass towards them. "You should kneel before our ravenous hordes; you should bow before us, you should-" -COWER!
The Gate Builders
12-02-2006, 04:21
The team stopped firing momentarily, aghast at their comrade being caught and consumed by an enemy they had an instinctive fear of. The commander of the team frowned, firing a short burst at the male Wraith. He tapped his comm device.

"Jumper one, drone strike. I want a drone to smash into those Wraith, but don't detonate it in the group! We appear to havea commander here!"

The jumper containing the explosives expert flew behind the melee, and breifly deloaked to fire a drone. The explosive core had been removed. This was intended to crush bones and shatter limbs. Once the drone was in the air, the jumper cloaked again, dearing the wrath of the screaming darts.

Dart's assaulted the Puddle-Jumper with random abandon; weapons howling; in the bay, one of the Dart's activated, firing it's culling beam at the advancing Alteran assault; even as the Male advanced, implacable; eletric fire whizzing about him, as he back-handed another Marine into a wall; hand pausing to crush his skull against the dark material of the Wraith vessel; hissing, snarling; the animal almost entirely in control of him...This was how it should be; they should run; they should die...

The Drone whizzed by; assaulting the guards; tearing some apart; he paid little attention until the Alteran blast tore into him, driving him back; he moved again, as though daring them to go on; another blast, driving him down; and then, trying to rise, feeding hand straining against the floor; he was going into spasm...It was growing Dark.

Then nothing.
The Gate Builders
12-02-2006, 04:35
The second puddlejumper was hit in the rear, blasting off the hatch and sending it spinning into the wall of the dary bart, exploding in a shower of metal and glass. Three men fell to the culling beam, disappearing until they would be consumed. Six were left. As the target was stunned, the commanding officer of the unit knew he had few options.

"Retreat! Drag the bastard into the jumper! Jumper, this is Unit one. Fire a drone, right into the middle of them. Explosive, this time! None of that precision weapon crap now!"

The troops retreated, two of them dragging the Wraith, two more dragging the fallen marine the Wraith beat to death, the others gave covering fire with their rifles, now set to kill.

The glowing squid-like form of a drone appeared, as if from nowhere, and flew, aiming straight for the centre of the Wraith troops...
The Wraith Hivefleet
12-02-2006, 04:51
The drone detonated; sending Wraith flying in all directions; torn, bloodied, hissing and bleeding and dieing...A dart lay in ruins; the entire docking bay seemed aflame.

Deploy them ALL

The Queen's psychic bellow tore through every single mind as countless darts surged forth; the Cruiser's turning their guns against the Alteran vessels. Weapons fire crackling across the void as the audient fury of the Wraith became wholely and totally manifest.

"Order your Lord to engage them; destroy them...Utterly."
The Gate Builders
12-02-2006, 05:03
Decloaking, the Arcturus Ascendant covered the retreat of the Puddle Jumper, extending its shielding over the small ship, creating a slightly weakened salient. The hyperdrive was ready to go at a moment's notice.

The mighty energies of the Arcturus generator were channleled out by the energy cannons of the battleship. The Rays of destructive energy pierced the space they passed through, leaving a trail of virtual particles that created masses of hard radiation upon hitting shields.

More puddlejumpers were launched, remote controlled from the command deck of the Arcturus, decoys to draw the attention of the Wraith ship.
The Wraith Hivefleet
12-02-2006, 05:08
The Wraith ship shook, but lashed out in retaliation; ignoring the Puddle-Jumper's; focussing on crushing the Ancients. They had had the audacity to assault the Hive; to violate the Hive; and now they would pay! They might not match them in terms of technology; but they had numbers...They had allies; they had brethern now who would fight, or could fight for them; with them...Undo this arrogant race. Did they not see that they were but one fraction of a distant whole?

Commander Hypopheralcus was sitting in his chair shaking his head.

"What's the status on the shuttle?"

"It's in the bay."

"What's our damage?"

"We lost 0.4% of Arcturus containment for six milliseconds. One crewman recieved a near-fatal radiation dose. Our shields have taken a battering."

"Jump away."

"Sir, we have shuttle out there. We'll have a hell of a job explaining this one. Janus will have your head."

Hypopheralcus looked at the main screen. The flashes and explosions of the bombardment almost hypnotised him, making him powerless to move for a second.

"Sir?"

"What? Oh, sorry. Crewman, it's my reponsibility. This ship is worth more than a million shuttles. Jump."

"Aye sir."

The Arcturus opened a hyperspace window and left the system, leaving the puddle jumpers it deployed motionless, without direction.

"No allies in the area use ISDs, estroy it, it's onbviously stupid or hostile, either one is a good reason to blow it to hell."

"Aye sir."

A pair of Coelocanths turned their guns on the ISD, and opened fire, a pair of Yamato blasts was generally more than enough to destroy an ISD, and the additional Burst Laser bolts simply added insult to injury.

**inserts Sepiroth's theme**

An icy planet sitting in the dark void of the newly discovered star cluster. An average size world with very little life and little significant value. Then, a ship of gargantuan size appears out of hyperspace. A Dark black ship with a triangle surface to it, a huge gun protruding the tip of the behemoth. A structure that looks like a flight of stairs climbing toward a tower. This tower the bridge of this ship, the Eclipse Class Super Star Destroyer Black Death, commanded by an experienced and stern Admiral by the name of Aleksander Kra'Dem. The Admiral look out onto the icy planet as the Captain approched him with a datapad for a report.

"Admiral the rest of the fleet should be arriving from hyperspace any second now"

Admiral Kra'dem replied, "Good Captain, send probe droids down onto the surface of that world and report back any finds you have uncovered"

Captain Ulgand, "Yes Admiral", salutes the Admiral and does an about face.

Kra'Dem looked out to the horizon as he sees the expeditionary fleet come out of hyperspace. 16 Imperator III Star Destroyers, 30 Victory II Star Destroyers, 2 Modular Taskforce Cruisers, 5 Strike Class Cruisers, 34 Lancers Frigates, and 2 Carrack Frigates and the Executor Class Super Stardestroyer.

The Coelocanths didn't care. They opened fire, all their guns lashed out at the pathetic ImpStar that had intruded on their battle. It was obviously not an ally, and that made it an enemy.

OOC: 2 shots from a Yamato Cannon can destroyt an ISD3 atfull power. You are effectively toast.

Captain Ulgand checked his chronometer, it has been 8 hours since their arrival in this star cluster with a mission to explore this region for the Imperial Union of Communistic Governments. Then the Lieutenant gave him the report, the Captain raised his brow, "Interesting..."

"Admiral!"

"Yes Captain what is it?"

"Sir we found something, an unusual element 30 times more powerful than uranium and we have found sources of titanium, yttebrium, iron, and other carbon substances."

Kra'Dem looked at the datapad interested in the mystery element. What power can it have and what is its applications?, he thought.

"This is interesting, Captain. Establish a base onto the site of the element. I want the research scientist to discover and test the nature of this element. We shall name it element X for now. Now for the continuation of this mission, send out the Carracks to do recon work of this system and alert me of hospitable planets."

Captain Ulgand replied, " Yes Admiral Kra'Dem it shall be done. Oh I almost forgot sir. We have recieved a sort of weak distress signal coming from a sector thats 153 Light years away. But we have no reports of another expeditionary force in this region and it could be a radio wave of a nearby Quasar."

A distress signal, thought the experienced Admiral, hmm how strange. "Redirect a Carrack to this area to investigate this disturbance and I want it to keep a low profile"

Captain Ulgand saluted the admiral and returned to his station giving orders to his subordinates.

Admiral Kra'Dem looks back at the horizon. A strange turn of events a mystery element that could power a shield generator indefinitely and a distress signal from an Imperial Star Destroyer that could be a fake. I better tread carefully.

ooc ok i had to work then i passed out as soon as i got the comp last night. Ok to end the arguing on FTLi i find the concept silly, but if you have more powerful engines then they have FTLi as is the case with Tannelorn DoD drives [Tannelorni ships are good at three things over others, armour, durability and power outpout, well ok my fighters are blatantly disgusting] Then you can smash right through the net blocking the dimensional wall. Also considering we fire our DoD directly at a point in space it would still open. So FTLi can generally only work against people who have inferior equipment. Tannelorn does not so the attack was valid.


Tannelorn has been around so long and RP'd its fleet so extensively it can call cardboard..i never do but just letting you know what your up against if you really wanna keep fighting in a system where there isnt supposed to be fighting haha. Oh and think oif Loengren as a turreted much more powerful yamato, and ingelstung as simple a much more powerful Yamato. The focused power of a sun with the best Laser lenses available to any race, is not to be trifled with. The beam lasts long enough to blow straight through shields. You have to avoid it, which is easy once we hit the 1 mil km mark, which we are about to after this volley.

IC
The Prefecture ships moved on the battle quickly and without much fanfare. First a large wave of the phenomenal Morgenreate fighters closed with their prey, massive bombardments of smaller nuclear missiles aiming to clear the sky of pesky drones. It seemed the Terran ships were the most arrogant in attempting to ignore the enforcement order. No matter. They would not last long if they kept up the battle. It didnt matter though..the Tannelornian captains were itching for a fight. The enemy used many technologies abandoned by Tannelorn, mainly black hole compressor systems, considered far too dangerous to use, and not that much more powerful then refined antimatter drives. They continued to move on in to range for the heavy X ray laser turrets mounted above and below ships, still firing the distracting stream of nuclear weapons. They lined up again and fired, targetting the communist vessels with Loengren fire now, while remaining locked on to the the Terran vessels with their mighty ingelstung. So now to finish the war and make this an actual colonisation thread again >:)

Simultaneously another broadcast was sent out to the Balroggan delegates, asking them kindly to proceed to the flagship of the Tannelornian naval presence in the area, for a friendly meeting.

However no one would blame say a ship captain for fighting another one wrath of khan style.
Basically this is a meeting place and so far its turning in to a war zone. If your not shooting at mini miehm though, dont worry about us.

YOU however, are trying my VERY thin patience. You are WELCOME to try and "deal with me" but better nations than you have lost to me before. Now, if you enter the territrory I have claimed here, one of 3 things will happen.

I'll call in all 7 Terran Task Fleets. Whatever force you sent will be decimated, and you'll come back with a bigger fleet, while I call in allies.

I'll call in all 7 Terran Task Fleets, and the Zeji Armada, whatever force you send, and most of your reinforcements, will be decimated. Then I'll call in allies.


I'll call in all 7 Terran Task Fleets, you'll force me to retreat, and I'll call in the Zeji Armada, as well as allies.

In all 3 scenarios, I gain numerical advantage, and then swarm you under. Now, I hope we can reach an understanding as well. Because I REALLY don't feel like dealing with the losses a full on war would entail.

A huge fireball erupts on the expansive snowy plains of the planet. An explosion big enough to destroy a nation and its height being in orbit charring the atmosphere. Capable of giving a person with 3rd Degree burns 100 miles away from the blast radius even with the planet's subzero temperatures. The test was a complete success as there was a tremendous amount of data gathered from this test. Since the discovery of Element X, as Admiral Kra'Dem called it temporarily, the researchers at the base have been marveling at the elements extreme power amount. The size of Element X explosive device used for this test was the size of a marble and the method of explosion was fission-fusion, similar to the Tsar Bomb during the 1st Cold War Era on Earth. So far the researchers have discovered that the vein contains about 267,918 Megatons and so far they have carefully extracted 1.268 Mts afraid that one mistake or chip will set off a chain reaction as they don't know the true applications of the element yet. Captain Ulgand watched in amazement of the nature of the blast out his viewport in his quarters. He put on his tunic and uniform and rushed towards the bridge. He was in such a hurry that he bumped and knocked down a couple technicians. After a short turbolift ride he finally got to the bridge when his subordinate Lieutenant Talrund gave him the report of the test results. He skimmed the datapad and looked at the results with extreme interest. He nodded to the Lieutenant and dismissed him. The Admiral was staning near the large viewport watching the spectacle. Ulgand started towards him with the results.

Admiral Kra'Dem didn't even look at the Captain we he told him,"Amazing isn't it?"

"Yes sir its quite a marvel." the Captain replied

Admiral Kra'Dem,"The blast seems to be receding now. The would make it 13 minutes and 37 seconds."

"Sir here are the results." Ulgand insisted towards the datapad.

Admiral Kra'Dem,"Hmmm...interesting...very interesting. What was the amount of the substance used for the reaction."

Captain Ulgand replied,"About 10 milligrams sir, the size of a child's playing marble."

Admiral Kra'Dem,"What of radiation? Is the land still hospitable?"

Captain Ulgand hesitated as he searched through his datapad,"Well....uh...sir the blast area..."

Just in the nick of time for the Captain an update came to his datapad. There it is, the Captain thought.

"...the blast area, aside from the snow being melted away, is virtually not radiated. Althought there is some radiation it is only minimal, no lethal dosages. The Half-life of the element, after it has gone through the nuclear reaction, must be quick only a few seconds. The land is completely hospitable."

Admiral Kra'Dem raised his brow and then said,"What is the power output of Element X."

Ulgand replied,"The power of the element at a good amount the size of a bowling ball could provide enough power for this ship for the next 7 millenia. Broadly speaking if we can safely extract Element X and refine it we could power countless worlds."

Kra'Dem looked in disbelief as he stared into the datapad. A power source thats not only powerful but cheap. The IUCG High Command would be pleased of this discovery and perhaps a colony and even a IUCG Naval Base can be stationed here. The military applications of Element X are also phenominal.

OOC: Srry for OOCs but i lost the OOC Thread for this. But i dont stick to the G Canon i stick to C Canon aka EU. And what about dovin basal which are pure gravity so much gravity they can be considered to be Black Holes and can rip up planets, move entire celestial bodies and crash a planets celestial partner into it. Plus i think you are godmoding alot.


IC: Captain Ulgand,"Admiral we still haven't gotten a reply from the Waterhelpers"

Admiral Kra'Dem," We shall have to be patient Captain, the message was long range after all"

Captain Ulgand,"Yes I shall try to remember that Admiral"

Admiral Kra'Dem,"Any word from the Carracks"

Captain Ulgand,"The one investigating the distress signal still hasn't returned a message, but the Carrack on recon duty has discovered two more habitable worlds in the system."

Admiral Kra'Dem," Send the Red Storm and Iron Curtain with 2 Victory escort each"

Captain Ulgand turned to the Lieutenant and gave the orders. Ulgand then went back to work on the mystery element.

OOC: Just so I can get involved... And for giggles...

IC:

"Sir, our Ghost Rider Recon platforms have detected an emergence in one of our systems. Make that 2 sir. One is habitable, the other has a mining installation already."

"Well then, I guess it's time to start pissing on another brushfire. Deploy a... shit, what do we have LEFT?"

"One Desflot, and a pair of Heavy Cruisers."

"Well, deploy them then... And call for backup from Aiur..."

A VERY small task group indeed, especially when dealing with 2 systems... They would deal with one first, and see what happened, if the unknowns were obstinate, or in overwhelming strength, they would maintain their positions, and wait for backup.

OOC: If Dovin Basals were utilised properly, they can not only porevent me from going into hyper with terran ships, they can also break through my shields(shown in the Talaaxian Civil War). If you knew ANYTHING about the modifications I've made, and WHY I've made them, things might make a BIT more sense. Suffice it to say that when I went about making my FT nation, I worked from the premise of using SC Tech, and then I modified and upgunned it to best fight the all too common Star Wars ISD Cookie Cutter Fleets. For example, if you've ever read Honorverse Books, I use the Impeller Wedge as my "shields", making my ships VERY hard to tag.

Communistic Govts's recearch center: A small shuttle lands at the site of the recearch center. A female diplomat emerged.

Battle:
using the same tactic the nanobots were released and began to swarm the attacking ships with their carbon nanotubes absorbing any laser blasts stunning them for five seconds.

A Lambda-Class shuttle debarks the Black Death and heads towards the research facility. As Admiral Kra'Dem walked through the door he saw the delegation that was to meet him.

Admiral Kra'Dem, "Welcome people of Waterhelper, I hope you feel that our accomodations are at least adequate for your brief stay. Drinks are over there, as we have fine ro'lak wine and Union vodka."

Meanwhile back on the ship Captain Ulgand was overseeing operations for the time being."Captain Ulgand..." a Lieutenant called out "sir we have an incoming message. It seems it is from Imperial High Command."

Captain Ulgand,"Patch it through."

The Lieutenant replied,"Yes sir."

An Imperial message out here? thought Ulgand. What could they possibly order?

Imperial High Command Message:

Admiral Kra'Dem,

At the advent of this new element we are very interested. The power this element can produce far outweighs importance and the proctection of it by an Expeditionary fleet. We will send 50 Star Destroyers 100 Victory Class Star Destroyers 1000 Lancer Frigates 50 Carrack Cruisers 5 Executor Class Star Destroyers with 3 more Eclipses. The fleet should arrive by the time of this message. This is a good find Aleksander and for this great achievement I am promoting you to Grand Admiral.

Grand Admiral Iosef Ryurik

Captain Ulgand felt appreciation for the Admiral as he thinks that Kra'Dem deserves this prestige. "Relay this message to the research facility. Inform the Admiral...wait....the Grand Admiral of the message."

The Lieutenant replied,"Yes sir." And smiled while he did his duty.

"Yes I believe it will be, and wellcome to Star Cluster M4312 unofficially known to the people of aquahelper as the Milus Group.
Also on the way down we saw evidence of a naquadah explosion, or something about the same what happened?"
Communistic Govts
13-02-2006, 21:44
Admiral Kra'Dem,"Thank you for your greeting. The explosion was a test of a new element unknown at the moment. We are temporarily calling it Element X for the moment."

An alert came up on his datapad.

"...excuse me."

"Sounds like our first test where we blew up a asteroid well guess we have to wait."
*as soon as he left they put some nanoprobes on the walls where they would infect computers (well only steal information) without leaving a trace*

"Sir we have found some intristing things on the planets" reported Victer Vostigo
the lead resurcher

"what have you found? Report!" orderd Lenov, the thought of those murderus Terrans escaping his fleet only increased the stress of his doughters loss

"We have found it sir, We have found Tiberium"

"Send Down The mining posts, I want those planets compleatly sheilded, deploy the space stations. I want those planets secure.

Admiral Kra'Dem read the datapad and was surprised. He had been promoted to Grand Admiral. Grand Admiral had a nice ring to it but this not gave the experienced officer an alter ego.

Grand Admiral Kra'Dem then when he was about to turn his attention towards the delegation the head of security spoke ti him,"Sir may I have a word with you."

Kra'Dem nodded."What is it major?"

"Sir our scanners in the conference room have picked up the Delegate from Waterhelper bugging our computer system. It seems they are using a form of nano probe technology."

Kra'Dem replied,"It seems that these delegates distrust us. Let prove them wrong and earn their trust. Well in any case try to remove the nano probes from our computers."

The Grand Admiral then headed for the conference room and spoke to the delegation."It would seem that there is a general distrust among us. Your nano technology is very impressive so I propose a deal. We will 'give' the information and perhaps a megaton of Element X if you agree to share your nano technology. We could even perhaps consider an alliance of sorts."
Waterhelper
13-02-2006, 22:56
"I doubt that you would remove them they are heilded from EMP (by the faraday cage) and can eat your computers well..." he takes out a device and recalls all the nanobots. "Also there are only a few minerals that can be that powerful: one naquadah, and two tiberium. Our home system and they systems in this cluster are abundant with both we jus dont have the ability to harness it to its full potential. However the nanoproes are our only form of defence against larger ships becuase of their ability to eat ships and absorb most energy weapons. Observe."
*he spills the nanobots on the floor. Then he shoots it with his watch. (like in james bond) they stop for a second then move again.*
"see" *he puts the nanobots back in the bottle.*

OOC: I could make my self borg with this but technically I already am just out of free will (that mean no colelctive, self repair, etc)... and the nanobots are made of carbon nanotubes so im not grey

"How are the mining opperations going?" asked Lenov

"It is going well" reported the lead scientist

"Good, I want 3 world devistators sent to the planets.....hmmm that reminds me, they need names."



The Admiral named 1 "Infinity" in honor of the fallen, he named the 2nd one Ross, and he named the 3rd after his late doughter, Anna

The tech issued commands to the AI and the area underneath the ships began to glow as the Avatars were assembled. Within a few minutes, fully operative 1 /10th scale versions of the ships were ready to send into battle.

“OK, send them into battle.”

“Yes Sir.”

“Open a Comm line and relay it through the Avatars once they Emerge.”



Battlefield:

Suddenly a number of small ships materialized as they Emerged into Real Space. The Battlegroup consisted of several Destroyers, Battleships, Carriers and Frigates of every type the Empire used. The 1st Imperial Task Force had arrived.


Attention:

Under the authority vested in the Balrogga Empire by the founder of this Cluster, Waterhelper, I now command all hostilities to end. Failure to abide by the rules the Founder has set up will result in your destruction.

I repeat, this is a Police Action authorized by The Founder. Tannelorn and I are acting as legal representatives of The Waterhelper Authority. Failure to abide by his rules voids your lease upon your systems and opens you to be forcefully evicted.

This is your only warning.

If anyone locks weapons upon our vessels, we will take that as your answer.

Dammit all... They're going to start a WAR over a few piddling planets...

"Call Aiur, expedite reinforcements. NOW. Nothing from Tarsonis will be able to get here in time, maybe Tassadars Black Fleet will be able to respond."

"Aye sir."

Far away from the battle site that was rapidly developing, the Zeji Armada had become active, and their Flagship, the Black Dream, was already fully crewed with Zeji Clones, all that was necessary was for Kabala to embark, and they would be here in hours.

By the time any battle began, Kabala and his Black Dream would be well on their way to the new colonies.

The Tigerlanian Oblitherater Star(the only one in existanance) unclouks in the between the fleet and the 3 planets emmiting an EMP feild dissabling anything not emmiting a Tigerlanian ID signell. The Oblitherator has a sheild powerd by Lavarium and Tiberium fusion(try and brake through that without a sample of Lavarium to decode its shield signature) The only Known Lavarium is on thies three planets due to an odd effect on the elements on thies planets coused by the three orbits being so close together along with the abunduncy of Lava in a Zub-zero tempritures( a unieqe planet indeed, that is why tigerlan wants to resurche it).

OOC: He may not be able to, but I, Bal, or Tannelorn CERTAINLY can. With my emphasis on my SW Killing tech, you'll be overrun by a single Terran Task Fleet with ease. 2 shots from a Yamato to an ISD3. 10 shots from a Yamato for an Eclipse or Executor. And each fleet flagship has 60 Yamatos.(can only fire about half at once, but still...)
