Through growing confidence in manipulating the magical energies that defined the Nether, and the methods of transport through it, the Scourge had progressed on a predetermined course of expansion. The key worlds of Northrend and Quel'thelas were secure, bastions of limitless Undead might, but others could swiftly be brought into the fold. Thus had the glorious Lich King outlined his plans for the first phase of Scourge Expansion, the genesis of the Great Campaign.

Throughout the twisted scheme of existence, they had began to travel. From world to world came immense, bloated Plague Vessels, Necropolis class Battleunits and the feared shadow of the Citadel-Ship Naxrammas itself. Each was death to worlds, each held the fate of millions of sentients in corpse-like fingers.

Now, around an unsuspecting world, the first tendrils of an insidious Undead assault began to form, space burning with the discharged energy of the Nether, the whirling void that brought them forth. The ships seemed morbid, even in appearance. Weathered metal caked with ice, symbols emblazoned upon the hull, skulls grinning in savage mockery of Life.

OOC: Anyone wanna be invaded, attacked or otherwise assaulted?

OOC: I am willing as long as I can have priests forcing them back with Holy Symbols, If so, this is my response

The First, Second, and Third Van hung on the outward side of the Planet Seth in the Tortuga system.

In the central command bunker, the computers started to go haywire as the energies of the Nether started to crackle around the planet.

"Sir, we have lost communications with The American Privateer on Tortuga V and New Tortuga, along with Niall Noiglach on New Dublin and our own forces on New Jerusalem."

"Sir, we are getting strange signals and echoes all around."

"Sir, we are receiving reports of blackouts from the capital."

"Okay, patch me through to whoever we can still reach." "This is Grand Master Juan Diego de Guadelupe to all members of our Holy, Knightly Order. Strange events are occuring, possibly a herald of Armeggedon, prepare for war."

On the surface, the Knights donned their white armor, complete with a crimson cross, and mounted their speeder bikes. Grabbing their force lances and Lightsabers, threy preppared to fend off any and all who would come near.

Meanwhile, civillians crowded into underground bunkers where they could use tesseract generators to move to New Jerusalem.

The Van's, hanging in space, moved to face the strange energy, ready to fire their coil gun broadsides at whatever came out of the vile energy.

((I have a few Lichs myself, but they're loyal to the Drow Empire...))

"What the..." Fleet Admiral Jack ray was surprised as they real time communication he had been having with his opposite on Seth was cut short.

"Sir, there are strange energies building around the planet Seth, TLO may be in trouble."

"Send our Battlestars, have the Eisenhower sit ready with the Roosevelt and our Sovereign Explorers. IF this turns out to be bad, I want to be ready."

OOC: Ok, I'll accept TLO and his allies, as well as TCT, but 1010102, I'd much rather you didn't. You tend to negatively affect my threads.

Tremble before the Scourge, Mortals! In the name of the eternal Lich King, we have come to cleanse these worlds for the glory of his name! By the will of Ner'zhul, you shall join with us as a facet of a grander whole! Immortality can be gifted to those who serve.

The broadcasts went dead, the charismatic voice fading into nothingness as the ships drew still nearer.

"Ready the main weapons batteries" His voice was a soft whisper of dire intent, a hiss of maledict purpose. He brushed a hand across his pale forehead, teasing aside black hair, his eyes were alive with power, dancing with flickering arcs of power. Black armor adorned his body, a runeblade clasped at his side, a weapon gifted by the Lich King himself. He was Lord Runestratum, a proud and powerful warrior of the Scourge, a Death Knight."If they should make an offensive moves, we shall annihilate them. Have all troops ready to arrive planetside. Do we have readings on major population centres?"

"Undoubtedly, Death Knight" The chittering announcement drove Runestratum to turn, beholding the immense carapace of Ner'pheras, the Crypt Lord directly in command of the expeditions Crypt Fiend tomb-vessels. Nicknamed Hive-crypts, the immense constructs formed a major arc of the fleet offensive, their deadly Nerubian warriors ready to fight to the undeath for Ner'zhul's black will.

Do not cower before the glory of a living God, speak supplicants! The Lich King's servants would hear your devotions to him.

"You wish us to bow to a False God!" the grandmaster exclaimed in rage, "You 'God' is nothing more than an abomination of His will. We worship none but the ONE TRUE GOD! As a being in violation to his will, we shall send you down to Hell where Satan will gladly accept you into his fold. All vessels, FIRE!"

A rain of steel shot forward from the Solar Sailors. 3 vans, each comprised of 1 2nd Rate, 2 3rd Rates, 8 4th Rates, 32 5th Rates, and 64 6th Rates, fired at once in one massive volley.

On the otherside of the Icecrown Fleet appeared the First and Second fleet, each comprised of 1 1st Rate, 2 2nd Rates, 4 3rd Rates, 16 4th Rates, 64 5th Rates, and 128 6th Rates, appeared. They too fired off their weapons.

All in all, a massive wave of Tungsten steel was flung at the enemy vessels.

IC
The Battlestars tesseracted to a location below the line of battle and fired their nuclear weapons into the enemy fleet. 26 nuclear missile sailed into the center of the Icecrown fleet, and exploded.

The Sovereign SSD's tesseracted to position on the edge, and fired their axial super weapons through between the two NN lines, followed up by their turbolaser batteries.

Many of the smaller tomb ships were consigned to an immediate and unthinking death, rent asunder by the power of the enemy fleet, while shields fluctuated and flared about the larger, more durable vessels. Even the Plaguefire, Runestratum's ship, shook in maddened impact. He hissed, allowing a moment of terrible emotion, gesturing madly for a fleet wide assault. Weapons roared into bloody life, arcs of nether-born energy hurtled forth from the countless weapons-platforms of the ships.

Missiles stung the void like the tenebrous bite of Nerubian claws, arcs of damnable fire scarring the abyss like the chittered cry of vengeance from beyond the tomb.

"Make certain these wretches have a taste of the Plague. We'll grind them from the stars by the will of the Lich King!" Came the roaring cry of Runestratum, before he whirled to face the Crypt Lord. "Ready your men...We have work to do."

"As you require, Death Knight...The unliving ranks of Nerub stand ready to serve."

An undead speciman of Elvish persuasian worked at one of the consoles, relaying the commands to the other vessels, coordinating the attack with the other facets of the glorious singular mind, augmented by the ponderous intellect of the Lich King. His voice guided them, observing everything. One reply repeating over and over.

Bring death to those who oppose the glory of the Scourge.

"All vessels, report to Seth immediatrely"

At that call, the Privateer Navy tesseracted to the location, 48 Deadelus class vessels, 27 Sovereign Class explorers, 4 Exetuctor Class SSD's, 4 Arian Class Battlecruisers, 15 Libran class Artillery Ships, 8 alliance escort carriers, 4 correlian corvettes, and 18 Thantra Class War Cruisers appeared.

The ships released their fighters, realeasing, 57 squadrons w/ 12 X-Wings each, 5 Arc-170 Squadrons, 6 B-Wing E2 Squadrons, 10 K wing squadrons, and 46 wings of 16 F-302's.

The vessels lashed out at the undead, pummelling them with everything they had. The BAttlestars let out another burst of nukes, all 26 aimed at the flagship of the Undead hordes.

"1010102, this is Admiral Jack Ray, we are requesting the assistance of your forces at the capital of The Longinean Order. Please come immediately."

As the enemy vessels fired, the Eisenhower was pummelled, along with the Mercury class Battlestars. though they where badly damaged, a skeleton crew remained, dedicated to doing as much damage as they could to the enemy vessels.

OCC: i can only send 1 fleet. theres is the possiblity of war with sep that has called the st and 3rd fleets, and the second fleet is bound to a nations intro thread, so you have the 4th fleet.

4th Fleet
3 Devastation class Star destroyers

"Send in the fleet, If these abominations continue to rampage through the system, we to shall fall."

"yes my liege," the interim Herald-Scop for the Ard-Ri turned away from his king and to the comm stations, "All vessels, report to the planet Seth immediately. Use your tesseract drives to arrive now."

The vessels scrambled to battlestations and headed out, tesseracting to a postion to better lay a hurting down upon the Icecrown fleet.

Out of the yellow-green expolosion sailed the fleet. 7582 Odin Class Super Carriers (http://www.solaris7.com/images/TRO/Spaceships/thera.gif), 15164 Bismark II Class Battleships (http://www.solaris7.com/images/TRO/Spaceships/Texas2750.jpg), 45492 Lutjens Class Destroyers (http://www.solaris7.com/images/TRO/Spaceships/BLACKLION-SL.gif), and 4,882,772 K-Wings deployed, firing with the full might of their fleet at the Icecrown vessels.

OOC: stats can be found below
http://www.solaris7.com/

OOC: At your size theres no way you have thousands and thousands and thousands of ships. Unless they were microscopic, and made of cardboard. I don't accept.

OOC: Shall psuedo-undead and true undead meet?
OOC: Ahem. They already have, technically. My necrons fought them briefly Anyway, as I feel bad about disturbing the thread without some kind of in-character content:

IC: The necrontyr heavy cruiser Erisavenus sat at the edge of the system. Imagine an ice cream and mulched ice injection. That’s about how one would feel in the cold reaches of the Oort cloud where the mighty vessel sat, its own emissions channelled into a thermal beam that was slowly warming the comet it was hugging. Ten times longer even than the mighty warship, the comet was truly immense; the evaporation on one side of it would provide a tiny delta-V to it. In a few hundred years, the comet would fall into the system for the first time and pick up speed, becoming a spectacular sight visible from the surface of the primary planet for weeks. Even in conserving the energies that would otherwise be emitted from its stealthy hull, the necron ship left a gift that would, it hoped, one day be appreciated for its beauty by inhabitants who would, if all went well, know nothing of its involvement. The comet would endure for hundreds of revolutions, each one sixty four revolutions of primary planet, its orbit timed to appear ever more spectacular with every last.

Well, okay. Maybe they might suspect something. With that in mind, the ship began fabricating a tablet to displace into the centre of the comet, with a little greeting on it. Something that generated a magnetic field anomaly, perhaps - with sides of the 1:4:9 ratio. Yes, that’d do nicely.

OOC: At your size theres no way you have thousands and thousands and thousands of ships. Unless they were microscopic, and made of cardboard. I don't accept.

1. We have been building these since we first came into being. Also, we have been using the TAP and TLO World Devastators to build our craft, along with several mechanised miner/construction vessels of our own. It's not our fault you don't mechanize your assembly process, but we have.

2. they have really small crews because they are small vessels. The Odin has a crew of 1330, the Bismark has a crew of 1184, and the Lutjens has a crew of 360.

3. these ships are small, IF you had gone to the website I had directed you to, you would have been able to see why I have such a massive fleet.

I know that no one else uses these, but please, don't lash out in ignorance when the person using these vessels gives you a link to help explain the power they have.

OOC: At your size theres no way you have thousands and thousands and thousands of ships. Unless they were microscopic, and made of cardboard. I don't accept.

OOC: oh, so it is impossible that I have been helping him to build these vessels?

We have been using our world devastators, asteroid miners, and shipyards to help him churn out these vessels.

Our mining ships have been helping him with materials to.

Please, there is a reason why we are clustered together like we are, and this is why.

OOC: Sorry, but no single nation of your size would have that many ships, help or no. If you're so busy helping him, how can you build a fleet of your own having commited to such a massive undertaking?

No; I'm not going to allow such a number-wanking travesty. If you don't like it I may just start this thread over.

OCC: the problemis that he can't crew them. Even clones count towards your population count like a normal person.

Actually, I can

the Odins have a max crew of 1330 each (10,084,060 for all Odin's)
the Bismarks have a max crew of 1184 (17,954,176 for all Bismarks')
the Lutjens have a max crew of 360 (16,377,120 for all Lutjens)

and that includes the fighters.

If you don't believe me, please go to the following website and doublecheck the numbers (note, pilots of fighters are included in the crew numbers, but there are no marines posted on the ships)

http://www.solaris7.com/

all of my ships are from this site

OOC: You have over 26 million people in your navy alone; Your population is only 899 million. Since there will need to be at least three people ashore - providing administrative and logistical support for your fleet - for every person aboard ship, you are pushing 12% of your population under arms, and that's without adding in an army or planetary defense forces of any kind. I can only conclude that you are the FT equivalent of North Korea (regardless of your “Thriving” rating; that rating is where your economy would be if you had the normal 1-1½% of your population under arms).

So it really doesn't matter if TAP helped you build this fleet, your imploded economy would almost certainly make their upkeep impossible. Broken down, decrepit, without adequate ammunition or fuel, crewed by men and women starving from low (and poor quality) rations, demoralized from life under such numbingly depressing conditions, I can't imagine that your fleet, however large, will give a good accounting of yourself.

In fact, you've probably just handed Icecrown Glaciar (sp) another 26 million corpses...

Therefore, since: You clearly don't know how to manage your country, and


Nobody can afford to let the Scourge have over 900 million more cadavers to work with (for after they crush your fleet, they will overrun your lands and turn your people into the Undead), and


You've left nothing behind to defend your homeland,I have decided to take your country over. For your own good, of course.

Therefore,

Over Niall Noiglach's HomeworldFlashes of brilliant light filled the sky as the first strike fleet from the Cosmic Balance dropped out of hyperspace in attack positions over the blue and white planet below. Scores of vessels, ranging from battleships to frigates, with troop transports behind them, stood arrayed for battle.

But there would be no battle, because Niall Noiglach had stripped its defenses to fight the Scourge.

The leaders of the Cosmic Balance had no love for the Scourge; they were not striking at one of its enemies to assist them. Rather, they knew that Niall Noiglach would most assuredly fall to the Scourge, and this could simply not be permitted to happen. So they would occupy its territory, topple its government, organize its defenses, and thus save its people. It was brutal, but necessity outweighed courtesy.

Landers bearing thousands of soldiers left the hangar bays of the great transports and, escorted by fighters, began to descend toward the planet's surface.OOC: I'll grey out this post if you reduce your numbers. A 99% reduction in force would be about right...


1/4th huh...

okay, I will alter my force composition to match that.

okay, altered to match the three back home style
1,895 Odin Super Carriers
3,791 Bismark II Battleships
11,373 Lutjens Destroyer

338 Battlemech Corps (649,920 Mech pilots)
118 Infantry Divisions (1,962,950 Infantry)

If you want me to do a fact bookj for my country describing how our Economy is based, I will do so.

EDIT: here you can go and look at my Wiki page, if you have comments, post it in the Talk page, but otherwise, let's get on with this RP

http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Niall_Noiglach

Edit 2: I had a 75% reduction in force, If you don't like it, too bad, but that is as low as I go because it makes sense Logistically. I will not drop any lower. If you want to fight me on my military size, do it on the NN discussion page.

OOC: Still far too much. He did say a 99% reduction. I won't be accepting it till you've reduced to a level sufficient for one of your size.

OOC: Way to try and kill a thread people... I'd suggest anything not associated with the conflict begun by IG be removed from this thread.

IC:

Strange... They are alive, and yet not. Organic immortals. Similar to my servants, and yet in many ways strange... I shall meet with this Lich King

Vessels appeared as if from nowhere, no warning, no fanfare. A dozen ships of alien design, pyramids, crescents, blades and angles. Seemingly moments later, a dozen more arrived. Finally, another trio appeared, more ominous than any other vessel seen previously. Flanked by a pair of deceptively slender Scythes, the Cairn of Cusith himself appeared. Massive beyond reckoning, it dwarfed all but the largest vessels. Its small flock of vessels crowded close, ready for most anything. These living machines could be treated to a hot reception by the unliving organics they sought.

I am Cusith. Ctan of Cadia. Reaver of Souls. The Barghest. Devourer of Hope. You are the servants of the Lich King, Scourge of Nations. We share common cause, to a degree. Who among you may enter into dealings with one such as myself? Hopefully they would be willing to talk. Allies were few and far between for those that did not truly live.

OOc: I might come in, if this all clears up.

I am in alliance with 1010102 and I can send the 2nd UFMC Combined Fleet which will be made of 3rd, 7th, 8th Warlock Squadron, 6th, 9th, 12th Omega Squadron, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th Hyperion Squadrons, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th Olympus Squadrons, 1st Ruby Hospital Division, and 4th Cotton Tender Division.

No, he is just mad cause 1010102 beat him. Also, seeing as Millitary Command is not 1010102, Icecrown's blockade shouldn't extend to him. Also, Icecrown Glacier, I am still waiting for a response to my first and second edit where I state that I reduced my Armed Forces by 75%. the other guy withdrew his post, and I am still waiting for you to follow suit.

OOC: He didn't beat me, I have no problem losing, the point is that he refused to lose and ended up fucking up the thread by trying to destroying the planet and invalidate the story created by the decent RPers, like C'tan. If I recall correctly, he fled Quel'thelas and the other RP died with him suing for peace. Expain to me where I was beaten, and if you find yourselves incapable, please stop fabtricating bullshit.

Now, assuming you have again considerably dropped down your numbers, we can perhaps consider progress, otherwise I refuse to continue to dabble with numberwankery, such as the fact you claim to have upwards of 11,000 ships still there. In that case I shall assume they are made of cardboard. Very thin, very weak cardboard.

sorry bout that, was merely trying to get a response, seeing as you hadn't commented on my reduction. Other than a 99% reduction or nothing.

And no, they are not made of Cardboard. As I have stated before, I asked TAP and TLO to assist me in the construction of these vessels. If you look at the map that was posted, you will see a planet called Quivira that TAP and TLO use to mine via their World Devastators. I have also been given p[ermission by TAP to place my asteroid miners in his belt. Plus, I have teams mining my own planet. We have the Iron, Titanium, and Coal, to make these ships.

I would like to again point to the size of the crew. These vessels are small and require very little crew, that way, I can spread my weapons out over a large number of vessels.

In case you say that I can't push them through space, I point to our engines. We use a drive known as the Helicon Double Layer Thruster, which turns Hydrogen gas into hydrogen plasma by passing it through a glass tube wrapped in copper wire. The vessels are also able to powered by the solar winds that the sun gives out, which means that we don't always have to use our HDLT drives.

do have any other objections?

Yes, the sheer number of them compared to the size of your nation, help or no....No. You cannot support them.

OOC: A nine hundred million nation with close to two thousand 'super carriers' Eheh. Comedy!

HOw do you mean. Can I not keep them fed, fueled, stocked up on ammo? what do you mean. If you don't tell me in more specific terms where you think I am going wrong I can neither fix it nor prove you wrong if you are wrong. Please, be more specific.

Hey, I just use the names they give me. If you want to look at the stats of these things, please go here: http://www.solaris7.com/

They are listed there.

And the Supercarriers carry 280 fighters. They are called Super carriers because they are big for the Battletech Universe.

OOC: Mmm. I think the issue here is that you refuse to acknowledge that these things are inferior. Most multi-billion nations don't have that many ships. I for example, have about three hundred and sixty to four hundred warships, including 'patrol boats,' though about two hundred of those are exceedingly potent, you get the idea...

OOC: I've got something like 100 ships, including escorts. Having over 11k is ludicrous.

OOC: Heh. Your having a hundred necron ships is quite heavy, too. Though I doubt you'll be building any for a while. ;)

Well, about 80-90 of them are Raiders. There's just the one Cairn, and maybe 10 Scythes. And about as many Shrouds. There will be no more ships for a VERY long time.

“Iron, Titanium, and Coal?” I use an improved superdense crystalline titanium alloy, reinforced with a diamond fiber mesh and strengthened by electro-covalent bonding. Compared to simple titanium alloys, this makes the hulls of my warships over 18 times stronger than yours!*

As for engines, we gave up fusion impulse drives and solar sails long ago. Instead, we use gravitic differential systems that require no propellant mass and are thousands of times more powerful than solar sails. Only your fusion torches come close to our propulsion systems in power, and the need to carry propellant mass means that 99.9% of your ships' mass is fuel; in contrast, we seldom need to have more than 30-35% of our ships' mass as fuel. Our vessels can therefore be far smaller – and thus far harder to spot.

It looks like you're mired somewhere between Tech Levels 8 and 9 (by our historians' scale for measuring such things), whereas we are currently between Tech Levels 15 and 16. This means that we are literally thousands of years ahead of you in our capabilities; yet I have no doubt that a battle between our fleet and Icecrown Glaciar's would be an even match.

Icecrown Glaciar, you shouldn't bother asking Niall Noiglach to reduce his numbers; your fleet should be able to annihilate his without so much as breaking a fingernail.

*Using the Traveller design rules, since I base my fleet on that RPG.

OOc: CB, why do you have only 43 posts? And where do you get this "Tech level" stuff?

OOc: CB, why do you have only 43 posts? And where do you get this "Tech level" stuff?OOC: Because I use a lot of different countries in RP. My nation has been around for over a year and has a population of over 2.5 billion.

The Tech Levels are from Megatraveller, the 2nd generation ruleset for the Traveller RPG, wriiten by Marc Miller and published (initially) by Game Designers' Workshop (GDW). Since GDW went out of business, Far Future Enterprises (FFE) holds the rights to the game. It's currently out of print, but you can get the Traveller canon on CD-ROM and there's a sizeable Traveller webring.

Traveller is (if I'm not mistaken) the second or third oldest RPG in existence; it was published back in the 1970's (I played it in college) shortly after D&D (Empire of the Petal Throne [EPT] may be a year or two older, and Runequest [RQ] was probably a year or two younger; I'm not sure). It had extensive rules for star system and planet generation, ship design, tech levels, economics, etc., and was the first ruleset to introduce skills and skill ratings as opposed to levels. It used a 2d6 system, and then later a d10 and d100 system. I believe that Steve Jackson Games did a GURPS version about a decade ago.

Anyway, the ship design rules are very cool, and you can even download software to help you with character generation, star system and planet generation, and (best of all) spacecraft and vehicle generation (everything from hovertanks to battleships), I've decide that The Cosmic Balance will use Traveller technology, because it competes well with ST, SW, and 40K technology (my other futuristic nation, The Kafers, uses 2300AD technology, which employs much harder science rather than space opera).

The Trailarii Collective drifted serenely at a comfortable distance from the twin suns of their last system, the shattered chunks of rock that were once their homeworld drifting lazily about far below in a melancholy dance that would stretch to the end of time. Ever-curious fingers probed outward from the galactic core, touching on the Ether from time to time to find stray signals. A slight ripple some three hundred light years away drew minor attention, as would anything that close. With a quarter of the collossal superdreadnoughts that comprosed the Traileric Armada involved in an ESUS strike, they had a right to be edgey.

There was a familiarity about this disturbance, something they had contacted before. It dawned on those who noticed before to long; Necros. Another Lichian prince attempting to wreak chaos upon the universe, etc etc. But who were the Trailarii to fear these decadent fools? After all, had the Trailarii not sired the dark gods these necronaughts worshiped? Starcharts proved that Trailaria Prime was the closest populated system by far. This entire process only took a few nanoseconds to begin and end, clearance was given, and an EM signature the size of a minor Norse deiety was broadcasted in the general direction of the interlopers. Perhaps they would lumber over, with luck, and provide a bit of target practice to century-long sleeping weapon systems.
