i would like this to be apart of my intro, i had planned that they(my people) came from outside the galaxy, and this would be a perfect reason, and could play well into the story, if you dont mind that is?

I would prefer they be from the galaxy. Perhaps just an unknown sector?

oh no, i mean they came from outside the galaxy eons ago, because of a invasion i there home galaxy now occuring to this galaxy.

Oh, sure. But just don't say you know the invaders, Chron and I are keeping them sort of secret for the first bit.

i know it has been a millenium since they were seen by my people, but i will make it that one character "feels" there presants, and since onosis has never encounterd anyone out side its star system other ft nation, there is no way to warn others because they dont know of others.

Well without my closest ally of skuzzsock I had to find a creative way for it to turn out missing. Hope you don't mind.

Here's the revised breakdown of the Skgorria Space Forces:

5 x Sovereign = 3,028,725
500 x ISD-II = 18,542,500
10 x Golan 3 battle station = 11,080
150 x Nebulon B-2 = 168,000
230 x Assault Frigate II = 1,035,000
250 x Corellian gunship = 22,500
Fighter groups (Ground based) = 4,000,000 (70/30 TIE Defender /Scimitar Assault Bomber mix, number includes support crew)
Total for Skgorrian Space Forces = 27,617,805
Skgorrian Army – 7 million strong
Total = 34,617,805

Crew totals included fighter crews and techs, haven't worked out my total number of fighters yet....

The Atopian Grand Fleet, AKA "All of Atopia" consists of:

5x Imperium Ultra-Class Star Destroyers, each with their attendant fleets. :p

Before you start yer whinin', I have my entire nation in those ships. We trashed a solar system to build them, and they've got to get us to a new world... and defend us from Alien Invasion (tm). So nyah.

I'll repost my fleet here, for easy access...


3rd Irish Hive Fleet:

Capital Ships:
1 x Sovereign-Class SSD (Flagship, Fiannas Dream)*
4 x Hive Ships (Propogator, Seed II, Rebirth, Home)**
1 x Emperor-Class Battleship (Sporecaster, primary fleet carrier)***
3 x Oberon-Class Battleships (Ill Wind, Demonseed, Horror and Glory)
4 x Retribution-Class Battleships (Protector, Custodian, Savior, Redemption)****
15 x MC80 Star Cruisers *****
10 x EF76 Nebulon-B Escort Frigates
4 x Corona-Class Frigates
6 x Dauntless-Class Light Cruisers
10 x Escort Carriers ******
20 x CR90 Corvettes

Small Craft:
1200 x TIE Interceptors (based on Escort Carriers) (100 Squadrons)
120 x ARC-170Ms (Modernised ARC-170s) (based on Fiannas Dream) (10 Squadrons)
48 x ARC-170Ms (based on Hive Ships) (4 Squadrons)
540 x ARC-170Ms (based on MC80s) (45 Squadrons)
96 x Thunderbolt Fighters (based on Sporecaster) (8 Squadrons)
96 x Marauder Destroyers (based on Sporecaster) (8 Squadrons)
48 x Landing Craft (based on Demonseed) (4 Squadrons)
96 x Lightning Fighters (based on Ill Wind and Horror and Glory)

Support Fleet:
5 x Medical Frigates
10 x Tankerships
40 x Etti-Class Light Transports
55 x Simiyar-Class Light Transports




*Axial superlaser was destroyed in an earlier battle. The batteries that powered it have been removed and hollowed out. This hollow has been converted into a large fighter bay.

**(I haven't developed details on these yet, but each one carries around ten million civilians)

***(w/ expanded bays, allowing it to hold 16 attack squadrons)

**** assigned to escort each of the hive carriers

***** The MC80s are split into 5 wings: 4 of the wings are each assigned to a Hive Ship, and 1 of the wings (Red Wing) is used for assault. The ships are named by their assignment and place in the wing, e.g., Propogator One, Rebirth Three, Red Two. There is a large maintenence problem for these vessels, because of their incompatibility with the Kuat Drive Yard parts of the rest of the fleet.

****** Basic carrier, with light armament (4 turbolasers) and a large bay capacity (10 squadrons)

So guys, Tal here with an update. Tragic time in my life at the moment, making me wish I would have started this later, but oh well, I didn't and I'm keeping my comitment to this as it's a really cool idea. I just went and posted(finally, I know you guys were getting restless), and will pretty much destroy lots then get pushed back a bit. Then I'll start a new thread, called "The Invasion." This will pretty much be when the rest of the so called "Horde" arrives in the galaxy and begins pwning all of us.

Till then, ta.

RL stuff takes precedence over NS, don't worry about it.

New post was excellent, hope you feel better and come back soon.

To answer your question about specs on the Citadels, no, no I can't give you much. It'll be slowly revealed as the story progresses, like in a real situation, y'know? I will say, however, that they look like those Goa'uld motherships from Star Gate, but instead of a golden pyramid in the middle, it's a black citadel that blends in with space, making it hard to see.

I was hoping to know about their weapons, so I could RP damage effectively.

EDIT: Reply post coming...

Oh, well, pretty much just lots and lots of big guns aimed at disabling ships, and then those whose purpose is to destroy a suitably large landing zone on a planet. So just think ion cannons to disable, then big guns to do damage. But don't have many of your ships destroyed, we want to board...

ATM, one Hive ship got ripped in half (it's Warp drive fired, but half of the ship didn't go with it), some transports got destroyed (when the Hive ship crashed into them), two Hive ships made it to safety, and one is dead in space.

I'm thinking of a non-humanoid type. I represent an organic spore type race. No ships of my own, I am a parasite. By making contact with a larger body my spores (pods about 5ft in length and 1.5ft wide) will begin growing and will take over the ship or body at an alarming rate of about 75m per minute and will 'root' any life forms, basically i explode them and use them as food. If I fond an object of over 100m sq. then the organism which can grow up to three feet thick off of the object will begin to make pods to send more spores. Chlorine based life form. Am completely self sustaining. Currently control:
2 Overlord class cruisers-3000 spores each
5 Marathon class destroyers- 1250 spores each
11 Albatross class frigates- 500 spores each
200 Black Horse corvetts-50 spores each
2500 T13 Class fighters- no spores, will crash into larger ships to spawn

All of these ships stolen and spawned from a now dead race.

Been having RL problems myself. My last post was to set the stage for A_B to join the war effort.

Hey LNI, I left my last post rather expectant of your guys to turn their flashlights on the warriors, so that their apperance can finally be learned by all you guys. So, if you would be kind to oblige me, make a post with one of the people shining the light and I'll follow up with a description for ya.:)

Posting, almost done.

POSTED, yo!

You want to board us? :p

Tough, we're boarding you... :D

It's a different situation over at your place than with the LNI fleet. I'm expecting to lose in the long run against you guys, being against a simply Zuun(what I've decided to call the generals or high ranking officers, y'know?) but I do have a surprise in store for you guys, was just waiting for your vessels to get close to mine.;)

For some reason I just love Atopiana's description of his Armsmen here:

the latest combat armour: intelligent nanonic quantum armour. Their beam-rifles could bore through ten metres of armour.

Does intelligent nanonic quantum armour mean anything? I think not. I mean really... Quantum armor?

Oh, and having millions (maybe?) of soldiers with the capability to cut swathes through armored vehicles seems kind of overpowered. I hope you're exaggerating.

Not that I care or anything. Just saying.

Yep, I've got sodding millions of 'em. But hey - I'm using them sparingly, I'm only sending 5 million of them to board the aliens. What? A million armsmen plus on each of my Ultras isn't pushing it in the slightest. :D

As for their armour:

INTELLIGENT: because it seals tears, closes wounds, and amputates shattered limbs to contain oxygen within the suit. Among other things. It does this using NANITES and is coated in a QUANTUM SHEATH which reduces visibility in several wavelengths, such as EM and visual light. The Quantum Sheath also enables the Armsmen to move faster by exploiting advanced M-string and quantum theories.

As for the actual armour value, it'll stop a tank round, but don't expect to be doing much after that other than lying on the ground moaning as the suit pumps analgesics into you in an attempt to stabilise you, given that most of your bones are shattered...

The beam rifles can cut through 10m of armour to enable them to board enemy vessels after having landed on the outside of them. :)

Taledonia, you never did RP the effects of my counterfire...

Awesome, it just sounded funny when you typed it like that. And I shouldn't be talking. :) My military is very very huge.

I believe there's research going on in RL on materials that bend certain wavelengths of light around them, making them effectively invisible in those spectrums. Don't know how you'd possibly to afford to outfit millions of shock troopers with such stuff like that. Although you did have the capabilities necessary to strip a solar system of resources...

[EDIT: Just read some of the latest posts in the thread. It's not supposed to be a fair fight. Taledonia is supposed to have amazingly advanced technology and huge numbers, making him a very challenging opponent.

You miss understood me, Atopiana, it will be I who have my ass handed to be in this fight. See, I understand the level of wankyness within my move, and how your scanners should have picked those up, but remember that these guys are from an entirely different galaxy. They burned, pillaged, plundered, and ate everything in their way and assimilated technology, so I'm suppose to be quite advanced, and seeing as how many things in FT defy the laws of physics and such(for example, a lightsaber would be impossible, as would ion engines and many many other things), plus fantasy makes for a cool story.

Just remember, the story is mostly open, but there is a skeleton that we put the meat on. At first, the scouts come, get pushed back, then main fleet arrives, pwns everyone till an unrevealed incident occurs that gives us the upper hand, and we pwn the aliens. By the way, I left the tech flawed, now that you have registered one such anomolie, I would doubt that such a ruse would work again. However, if you truly, truly believe that it should be changed, I will submit.

Actually... Ion thrusters were first developed in the 1960s. They're quite possible. :D

ya are nothin special, just some electricly charged paricals

You shittin me! They can't be used in space, can they? They have no exhaust to push against...

You shittin me! They can't be used in space, can they? They have no exhaust to push against...
Yeah, they can. They've been testing it for slow-burns or manuevering jets, I think...

And, ahem:
Taledonia, you never did RP the effects of my counterfire...

I remember writting an explanation for that LNI...but perhaps I meant to but never got around to it. I will post damage and such, but at the moment I'm concentrating on a bit of character developpement, giving the best mental picture of the invaders, after a bit of slaughter I'll go back to the ships pounding each other.

What's going on? Where's my entertainment? Get on with it and kill each other!
