looking around the newly built complex on the planet Gnome. the president of Schwullunde could only smile. this could be one of the greatest accomplishments that this galaxy has seen in a long time. The President well knew the history of the last war. it had nearly wiped out the peoples of this quadrent, as more and more races were drawn into the battle. the whole sector was littered with the remains of the fleets that joined into the last battle that stretched across the sector. his grandfather had fought in the war and was one of the lucky few who survived from the SDC [schwullunde defence force]. Well hopefully that kind of thing can be averted in the future though sadly he knew better. standing beside him was the ambassidor of the Algol Confederation, Jorr-ucch. they had been friends for a long time. It was with the help of the Algol that Schwullunde had been declaired the official owner of the sector. something that the other races had accepted only because it would annoy the other two. Well lets hope that the Representatives of the other nations would arrive soon.

A fleet pops into realspace near Schwullunde. These were the Xiscapians.
The Xiscapians are humanoid, and, at first glance, look human. This is not the case. Though they resemble humans in nearly every way, they have fox tails and ears, their regular ears are pointed, they have longer and sharper canines then a human has. They also have yellow eyes, many different colors of hair, including green, purple, and blue. They are much faster and more graceful then any human could ever hope to be, and are deadly in hand-to-hand combat. They can also see in the dark. Just as a Terran would call himself or herself human, Xiscapians call themselves Kitsune. Every Xiscapian from the age of adulthood (20) has a katana sword. These are either hand forged by the person’s clan, everyone having a part in it, a forging master, or the Xiscapian themselves. Everyone, from schoolteacher to military grunt to chef carries one of these at all times. The katana’s sheath identifies the Xiscapians clan, social status, and, if in the military, rank. The katana is also used in battle. This fleet consisted of 2 Battleships, 2 Cruisers, several wings of fighters and patrol craft, and a Frigate. The Xiscapians were the only race not to get involved in the war, mataining a netural standing. Their realative isolation helped as well. Now their was some kind of treaty going on. The Emperor himself was attending, along with his wife and several military Commanders.

The fleet was spotted by the Space Station Circling Gnome. Immeadiately the Commander of the station was informed of their arrival. Putting on his best uniform the Commander walked to the command center and sent a hail to the Xiscapian Fleet.

[translated into the language of the Emperor]Greatings to the Glorious Empire of Xiscapia. Long may the Emperor Reign, and long may his family be fruitful, (bowing to a proper 15 degrees and holding it for 1 min). I am the Commander of this Station, Benjamin Pagel. I have been informed By the President of Schwullunde, to Transmit the Coordinates to the Conferance. You are the First to Arrive at the conferance, though we are certain that the other nations will join us shortly. You will be greeted personally by the President Himself when you arrive at the conferance coordinates transmited with the greeting

the commander then informs the president of the arrival of the Xiscapian Empire.


ooc kool Kitsune I never suspected that little twist,to bad i am not an expert on Japanese Culture and Etiquette. looked up the basics but i am sure i will make mistakes

OOC: That's alright, it's kind of a mix of Japanese and my own made-up culture. :) BTW, isa isn't going to be able to do it, at least not soon. His grandfather died recently, so he'll be gone for a while.

IC: The fleet joined in formation near the planet. A shuttle (http://www.revell.de/starwars/reqRessources/img/produkte/abb_imperialShuttle.jpg) dropped out of one of the battleships and headed for the planet, gleaming a perfect white. Soon the shuttle toutched down, it's wings folding. The ramp opened and 2 Black Guards (http://web.nafcs.k12.in.us/users/galena/Classrooms/Fifth/student51_Smith_Web/TANNER/Tannerpix/Shadow%20trooper%20II.jpeg) came out. They turned and kneeled beside the ramp. Then the Emperor (http://images.animelab.com/gallery/Rurouni_Kenshin/Images/kenshin329.jpg) walked out, with his wife, Jade (http://www.1999.co.jp/dbimages/user/hobby/itbig/10051368a.jpg), alongside him. They were flanked by two Black Guards, who walked silently behind them. Behind them came two people. Dom (http://photobucket.com/mediadetail/?media=http%3A%2F%2Fi111.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fn125%2Fbakahime%2FMale%2Fgotokuneko.jpg&searchTerm=male%20kitsune&pageOffset=4) and Krystal (http://www.nautiljon.com/images/perso/grandes/Naruto/sakura_haruno.jpg) decended the ramp with a quiet dignity about them. Dom was the Grand Master General of the XGA (Xiscapian Grand Army), and had served in several wars. Krystal was the Head Admiral of the Xiscpian Imperial Navy (XIN), and, though young, barely past the age of adulthood, a brilliant tactician. Following them was another Black Guard. A last person came out, Vanadict. (http://photobucket.com/mediadetail/?media=http%3A%2F%2Fi196.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Faa203%2FTempest_King%2Fkitsune0.jpg&searchTerm=kitsune&pageOffset=10) Vanadict is the Emperor's best and personal ambassador. Though all present were quite capable of sensing other specie's intentions, especially human's, Vanadict had a gift for it. Now the entire delegation is here. The Emperor bowed for about 1 minute at a 15 degree angle, followed by the rest, who simultansly did likewise. The Emperor now spoke. "Konnichiwa, Honorable Presedent. I am Foxfire Rose, Emperor of Xiscapia. This is my wife, Jade Forworn." Jade smiled and gave a little bow. "Also with me are my two finest military Kommanders, as well as my personal ambassador and guard. We thank you for your hospitality."

It had been many years since the 'Grand Civil War' as the history holos called it. The only thing grand about was the scale of blood that was spilled over petty conflict. The Dominion Galaxy as all once knew it was now a huge cluster of shattered star systems, controlled by warring factions or any former senator who could get his hands on a warship. The Homeworld was now an asteroid belt, destroyed by the flagship of the Dominion Warfleet when rebels banded together and seized eighty percent of the planet. The flagship was promptly destroyed afterward from its proximity to the planet when it exploded. The shields were supposed to hold but rebel vessel jumped in system during the firing process and weakened the vessel's shields. The fleet itself, once millions of starships, was now broken. The only threat it now posed was a severe travel hazard from the massive debris fields that spanned the galaxy.

None of the inhabited planets were spared the conflict. The cities, once shining like veins of molten silver across the surface of each world, were now charred black and the great spires that once stood had fallen, crushing anyone below. Anyone unfortunate enough to not have escaped was at the mercy of the same arrogant politicians who started the war, now power hungry warlords bent on taking the galaxy for their own. Poverty and famine now infested the once proud civilization like a plague. The only life forms that ate well were the rats feasting from the corpses, the only remaining inhabitants of the cities.

It was this that the remains of the Dominion Central Government had fled. It was the reason the 74th Fleet Detachment was here, in this uncharted galaxy. Under orders from the High Chancellor, who was smuggled to the 47th by a group of civilians loyal to the government, they were to set as far away as possible and make a new civilization. One that did not spread itself so thin. One focused not on conquest, but on exploration and trade.

With their vessels built to fight a prolonged war and respond within hours anywhere in a galaxy, defense was not a problem. It was the artificial wormhole generators installed on the larger vessels that got them here after a solid month of travel. A cluster of three uninhabited star systems was picked out and secured. A nearby nebula was chosen to be the home of the new Antares shipyards and one of the starbases (<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y90/DominionofRS/baneth.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a>) that the military managed to save was placed there as Operations Command for the new Dominion Defense Force.

A new homeworld, Epsilon Prime, was colonized and cities that rivaled those of Homeworld now stood proudly in defiance of the strife its inhabitants endured years ago. With solid borders now formed and a healthy influx of resources, the Dominion focused its now condierable energy toward finding out who their new neighbors were. Several Harbinger Class heavy frigates (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y90/DominionofRS/Omegaclasscruiser.jpg) were overhauled to include the latest in scanning and scientific equipment as well as everything needed for a prolonged deep space mission. Some of the weapons were left operating, however. Despite their distance from the Dominion Galaxy, they were unsure of how far their reputation had spread. The Chancellor determined that cautiously would be the best way to proceed.

The frigates, outfitted with the newest model of wormhole generators, were able to open a wormhole just large enough for the vessel to fit through. Twenty of them went off in different directions to explore this new, alien galaxy...
------------------------------------------------
A brilliant red vortex opened in Schwullundian space and the Dominion Explorer Vessel Odyssey emerged. On the bridge, Captain James Rourke stood proudly in center of a bustling hub of activity. Like all citizens of then Dominion, he was roughly six feet tall and looked for intents and purposes human. However, all citizens had strength that was about one half greater than a normal humans and they had excellent vision. They were also more reptilian, with their skin having a scaly appearance and a dark green tinge and their eyes had a lizard-like look to them. To his knowledge, they were the first explorer to discover any signs of life, and from the energy readings they were picking up, it was a major find. They slowly approached the planet, noticing the space station and vessels in orbit.

"Captain," the sensor operator spoke up, "I've noticed a distinct difference between the architectural style of the vessels and the station. This could possibly mean more than one civilization is present, denoting an alliance."

"A plausible deduction," Rourke commented, "But I wouldn't raise shields just yet. Let's talk to them first, it'll give the translators an opportunity to pick up their languages. Open a channel."

"Channel open," the Communications Officer said.

"To the space station and vessels in orbit, I am Captain James Rourke of the Dominion vessel Odyssey. We are new to this galaxy and are on a mission of peaceful exploration," he emphasized the word 'peaceful', "We wish to open negotiations and possbily trade agreements with you."

He paused, waiting for their responses. Turning to the Tactical Officer he asked, "Any chance they've heard os us?"

"I hope not," she replied, "We may not be able to withstand the attack."

"Here's hoping the mistakes the rest of our race have made won't come back to haunt us."

OOC: Just some stats on the Frigate:
Harbinger Class Frigate
Length: 300 meters
Width: 120 meters
Height: 50 meters
Crew: 200, 3 squads (60 men total) of Shadow Troopers; our Marines/Expedition Escorts
Armor: 1 foot thick ablative
Shields: Hyperphasic energy absorbing shield grid
Weapons: 4 phaserbanks, 4 torpedo tubes, 1 focused plasma emitter

Sensors flared on the Cruiser Fire as the vessal emerged from it's wormhole. Instantly is was targeted by every ship in the fleet. Fighters and patrols flew to intercept. Faster then the message could get though the little ship was surronded by patrols and fighters.
To the space station and vessels in orbit, I am Captain James Rourke of the Dominion vessel Odyssey. We are new to this galaxy and are on a mission of peaceful exploration. We wish to open negotiations and possbily trade agreements with you.
The message was recieved on the Crusier. A message was quickly composed and sent back:
This is a diplomatic peace confrence between several nations. Please matain current position. You will not be harmed. Our hosts will be with you shortly.
OOC: The Xiscapians have heard of your people and are understandably catious of you, though we have never fought.

the Dominion vessel Is picked up fairly quickly. Using an Algol device, the ship is identafied as Dominion with fair ease. the commander of the station raises one eyebrow in supprise. Wondering about their arrival was of no real use anyway,he had his orders. sending a comm to the ship
Welcome Dominion Vessel to Gnome. We are transmitting the coordinates of the Conferance with this comm. The President himself will greet you there.
coordinates transmited

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Echoing the Emperiors Bow Precisely the President then says "Welcome Glorious Emperior, We are most honored by your attendance"."Please allow us to present you with a small token of our gratitude". Jorr-Ucch quickly hands the President a medium sized laquered Box with Solid Gold Fittings. The President then Presents the Box to the Emperor, Using both hands to hold it.
Contained within this box is a Set of Laquerd Teacups Detailed with Gold, several sets of Matchhing Chopsticks, and A Beutiful Mirror Made of Solid Gold With Laquered Details. We present these humble items to the Emperor, and his Beutiful Wife.
as he is doing so a minor Algol Functionary Joins the group looks up at Jorr-Ucch. after a few minutes Jorr-Ucch nods, and the functionary walks out bowing to the emperior As he goes.
Jorr-ucch then Speeks,"forgive my intrusion, Another Guest has arrived. I beleave its the Dominion" them he promptly steps back away from the Presentation.

ooc Hee He I looked up Japanese Etiquette last night, still it wasn't the Imperial code just a basic primer. ;) though I am sure i broke several rules with that last bit. just as a point we use basic American Etiquette (oxymoron)
Xiscapia
03-09-2007, 18:34
OOC: You broke no rules that I know of, though gifts are usually given in the living room. ;) Japanese ettiquite is extensive though.
IC: The fighters and patrol craft peeled away and the ships resumed scanning, allowing the Dominion ship to continue unmolstered.
____________________________
The Emperor takes the box and gives a bow of thanks. "The President is most generious. Likewise, we have not come tebura(empty-handed)." He gives the box to one of the Guards for safekeeping, then reaches onto his belt. Two katana's hang there, a midnight black one and a sky blue one. He removes the blue one and kneels, presenting it to the President. "This sword was forged in the finest forge ship on Xiscapia. The blade is made of a rare metal that will never break, scratch, rust, or need polishing. We present this to you as both a gift and an offer of friendship."

One minute there was nothing there, then, with a pulsating light, a crystal ship hung there.

Commander Rok'atu (http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z107/Kain1235/97f48d5117e73ce41e317a6e57395ead-84.preview.png) was on board, along with a number of Elite guards. He nodded to his comms officer, then cleared his throat and, with a rough growl of Basic, said "This is the Void Ship Roc. We wish to attend the peace conference." He sat down in the crystal command chair and awaited a response.

ooc well now that bit of info was left out.

The President is deeply honored. kneeling before the Emperior he accepts the sword. with great reverance he fits the sword into his waist belt, on the left side. "I am Most Honored by your gracious gift Gloriour Emperor. I will wear this sword from now on. Long may your Great Empire be ruled by you and your glorious progeny." "Please allow me to show you to the Quarters That have been Prepaired for you and your retainer, so that you may relax after your long trip". 'The Conferance will begin as soon as the rest of the guests arrive".



ooc damn dude; a sword, i beleave thats just about the highest gift that can ever be given. made more so when presented by the Emperior himself, from his own belt. when this is over i will have to place that in my factbook. I am deeply Honored.

The crystal ships appearance makes quite a stir. the commander after listening to the hail, responds quickly.welcome to the conferance Void Templer Vessel. We are transmitting the coordinates of the conferance with this message. We are honored by your attendance. The President himself will greet you upon your arrival at the coordinates

the commander is supprised, already three species have arrived. and its only just 10:00. quickly sending a message to the president about the arrival of the Void Templers. Then he leans back and waits for the next arrival

Rok'atu turned to his helmsman and made a guttural growl. He then left his seat and walked into the Trans-mat teleporter.

A few moments later, he was in the shuttle bay. A Lambda-class shuttle was prepared to take off. A servitor walked over and handed Rok'atu a box. Rok'atu entered the shuttle and hovered over the planet. Rok'atu and an Elite guard stepped into the Transmat and beamed down to the conference.

When they arrived, Rok'atu bowed and said, "Greetings. I am Commander Rok'atu of the Dominion of the Void."

For a moment Rourke was alarmed at the amount of firepower aimed at his vessel. He fought the urge ingrained into him through his training to raise sheilds and power up weapons. Once the message was received and responded to and the starships broke off he breathed a little easier. He gestured to reopen the channel for a response.

"Coordinates received station, and thank you for allowing us to attend the conference. I will personally be beaming over along with two of my junior officers," he smiled, "We'll see you shortly."

As he was leaving the bridge, the Tactical Officer stopped him, "Sir, I cannot allow to leave without at least two escorts."

Rourke was about to gesture to the two Leutenants behind him.

"Armed escorts sir. Standard procedure dictates that-"

"The hell with standard procedure Commander. Standard procedure was what kept the fleet's hands tied as the galaxy burned around us. Besides, if I show up with soldiers at my back what will that say about how I feel about the other delegates? Hm? Do we really want to look like a warlike race when our mission is one of exploration? Like it or not, the old Dominion is gone. We have new orders now, a new directive. I suggest we all get with the program."

With an aide on either side, the Captain activated a metal band around his left arm. He punched the coordinates and in a flash he and the two Leutenants were beamed to the conference room. The process took less than a second. Rourke now held a large wooden box in his hands with the words 'Homeworld Vineyards' stamped on it and emblazoned with the Gold Eagle (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y90/DominionofRS/gdi.gif) that was the Dominion's symbol.

Rourke bowed lightly toward the delegates assembled, "Gentlemen, sorry to interrupt. My name is Captain James Rourke, I represent the Dominion. On behalf of our people I would like to give each of you a vintage bottle of wine made on our former homeworld."

He opened the box and took out each of the bottles, placing them on a table. He purposely neglected to mention that the wine especially valuable because the world it was made on was now a field of debris. No use ruining a joyous occasion.

ooc the coordinates are not the councle roon but outside in the gardens, i should have made that more clear sorry for that. i will assume that location as there is a small stone table anyway.

ic

as the Dominion deligate arrives, the President smiles warmly. Politely Excusing himself to the Emperor, he walks over to the Captain "welcome Captain Rourke to the Conferance. Allow me to introduce my Companions. This is the Glorious Emperior of the Xiscapian Empire, as well as his Beautiful wife. This is Jorr-Ucch of the Algol, He is here to observe as well as to aid in the conferance. I am of course Sean Roberts III. Thank you for your gift, we would like to present you with a small token of our appriciation of your attendance. With that he Presents you with a small Delicately made box, Inlaid with Mother of Pearl. Inside upon a Cushion sits a Solid Gold Dagger with a Fire Pearl as the pommel stone. The Sheath is delicately carved to resemble a Schwullunde Grey Wolf. We have prepaired Quarters, So that you may relax until the other attendies arrive.

ooc: fire pearls are swiped from the gateway books. here they are variously sized objects that look a bit like marbles. they get their name from the fact that they look like they are red hot. also they are industructable. their value is deturmined by the fact that they only exist on one planet in the galaxy. they are used mostly in jewelry or as decoration for objects, usually as pendants. Unknown Purpose for their original creation (probibly ball bearings lol)

OOC: Yes, it is. A sword is usually presented from the master to the student, but this is different.
IC: The Emperor smiled. "A thousand welcomes." The other delegates arrive. Upon introduction the Emperor bows for about 3 seconds at a 45 degree angle. Both delegates recieved a box made of fine polished wood. Inside was three items of jewelry: A silver necklace with a emrauld stone, bronze errings with sapphires, and a gold ring with a diamond in the center.

Rourke turned and bowed to the Emperor, "A pleasure and an honor to meet you sir."

He greeted the Emperor's wife and the other delegates in a similar fashion.

When the gifts were unveiled the Captain's eyes widened, "This, this is overwhelming. Thank you both. All of these gifts are quite simply exquisite. The wine, if I may make a suggestion, would taste best approximately three months from now Dominion Galactic Time. This particular vintage is very special. It was the last made before..."

He stopped and cleared his throat, the slightest hint of tears visible in his eyes before he regained his air of professionalism, "Well, before the civil war. At any rate, on behalf of the Dominion I am deeply honored to be here and to receive these tokens of friendship and goodwill. We look forward to a very prosperous future as allies. If you will please excuse me, I do believe I will take you up on the offer of quarters. I need to send a message to our High Chancellor before the conference to inform him that we have entered negotiations. Ladies, Gentlemen, until the conference commences."

He gestured to his aides to get the gifts, who both bowed deeply before retrieving them. Bowing his head once more Rourke and his aides followed an attendant to their quarters.

Foxfire turned to the President. "If there are no more delegates I think we, too, shall retire to our quarters." They walked along to the area of their rooms. Jade and Foxfire got a room, Dom, Krystal, and Vanadict to a second, and the Guards to a third. Vanadict sat down on one of the beds. "What do you think of them?" She asked those assembled (Foxfire and Jade had followed them to their room). "First rate accomidations." said Dom, looking around the luxurious quarters. "I think they are quite pleasent." said Foxfire. "Though I usually reserve my judgement to the end, I think these are a fine people. The cups and chopsticks are beatiful."

Foxfire's eyes widened. He felt anger, a fury that this man was still walking. He had commited one of the Three Great Atroscities. These were rape, slavery, and murder. He had commited unprovoked, unjusified murder, or at least had sent the order to do it. The doctor himself was rotting in a tiny cell somewhere. But, because he was a diplomat, he showed none of this. "It has not yet begun."
OOC: You'd need to RP your arrival in-system. Also, I will be making the Alliance treaty thread elsewere, once I have enough members.

Rok'atu walked over to the President and opened the small box, taking out a piece of glowing crystal.
"This is a piece of living crystal. It will morph into any shape or form you wish it to. Observe..." He whispered to the shard in his native tongue, which began to swell and pulse. It eventually formed a small dog. The dog yipped a few times, then lay down.

06-09-2007, 03:30
the president looks at the gift given by the templers in amazement. such a wonderful gift. taking the gift, the president picks up a small gold box, which he presents to Rok'atu. Inside the box, is about 1000 fire pearls. These pearls are found only within our sector. We have prepaired quarters for you to relax after your long trip. We are planing a State Dinner for tonight for all of our guests.
motioning for an aide the president says, go and inform the other guests of the State Dinner

The Emperor and his delegation recieved the message and within ten minutes were ready. They, Foxfire, Jade, Dom, Krystal, Vanadict, and their five guards went down. Foxfire was in his best evening suit, Dom and Krystal were wearing their respective uniforms which were adorned with medals, Jade was dressed in a black dress, and Vanadict wore a red gown which matched her hair. The Guards no longer wore their armor, but rather suits which concealed a few weapons. There were three female guards and two male, one for each delegate.

Rok'atu bowed and gave them both a box containing a living crystal shard and explained them. He then bowed again and sat down at the table. It was interesting, really. The crystals never failed to make the right impression.

08-09-2007, 00:48
The Captain thanked Rok'atu and looked on in amazment as the crystal, as it morphed and coalesced into a gold eagle, the Dominion's mascot. It took flight and circled his head a few times before perching on his shoulder. Despite its small size, the magnificence of the animal was obvious from its muscular build, large wingspan, and proud demeanor.

Rourke in reutrn gave Rok'atu one of the remaining bottles of wine, explaining that it was one of the last of its kind from their now deceased homeworld a galaxy away. Then he and his aids took their seats and waited. The two Leutenants fussing over invisible creases in their uniforms or restraightening their medals.

As the president and Jorr-ucch walked in he smiled broadly. I am glad to see everyone is getting along peacefully. Sorry that it took me so long to arrive, affairs of state you understand. Walking around the president personally welcomes everyone again. We would have liked for the other nations to have attended, but no matter. We shall attend to the main reason for this conferance later, at the moment though enjoy the hospilatality of my people.
As you see I insisted upon a rounded table, this was so that everyone here would be considered equal. We have prepaired each of your personal favorite dishes for this Dinner. We have also spaced the seating of your retainers around the table so that everyone can mingle and talk freely to at least two people from the other Nations. This will I beleave encourage everyone to get to know each other. Now please let everyone be seated so that we can enjoy the night together. With that he presses a small button set into the table and the servers procede to move into the room.

Jade was seated beside Rok'atu. "What system are you from?" she asked as the sevant placed a well-done spiced Nebulon steak in front of her.

Rok'atu smiled slightly as a servant put a raw shark fillet in front of him.
"I don't think there is a word for it in your tongue, but in mine it is known as 'Nona Se Ari'."

OOC: Is your guy an Elite? I get everyone so confused XD.
IC: "Ah." said Jade. "I must say I have never heard of that system before. Is it far from here?"

OOC: Yeup.
IC: "Very. In fact, I had to hyper drive as soon as this meeting was arranged to even get here." He spoke mournfully for a moment, before noticing the strange look on Jade's face. He saw who she was looking at and whispered, "I suppose your and his race have had... difficulties?"

Jade nodded, noticing Kash saying something to his guard and both of them smirking, as though a crude joke had just been shared. "Yes, in a manner of speaking. See, one of their ships invaded our space. We tried to be diplomatic. One thing led to another and we had a war on our hands. He did things to one of our pilots that is not fit for dinner conversation." She shook her head sadly. "They regard all non-humans as inferior and animals."

08-09-2007, 21:40
"As you should." Jade turned back to Rok'atu. "What was your involvment in the Galactic War? I think that we are the only species who stayed out of it."

noting the tension the president slowly motions and says, Please lets not have any hostilities amongst us. To kash he smiles and says, A gift isn't all that important, your attending is gift enough for us. Quickly thinking to Jorr-ucch. Jorr-Ucch Smiles to himself and promptly sends Jade a quick thought
telepathic message: His smell is Certainly Rich enough for all to enjoy:D
Xiscapia
08-09-2007, 22:14
Jade grins in spite of herself. To an Xiscapian, humans do not smell very good at all. Though she was incapable of responding telepathiclly, she winked at Jorr-ucch.

08-09-2007, 22:17
Kash noticed the grin from the Xscipian: Having a good time?
Xiscapia

OOC: Does your guy have a love intrest in my character or something? He keeps talking to her.

"Not many of us. The Kon'ta's number in the mere hundreds now. Our empire still stands however, so the races in it aid us."

Rourke overheard Rok'atu's coversation as a servant placed a dish containing a massive lobster with a side of scallops in front of him.

"My deepsest condolences to you. My people have suffered similarly at our own hands unfortunately. We were too arrogant, thinking we could keep an entire galaxy together. It worked though, for two millennia. Then the Senate became too power-hungry and splintered into factions, each commanding a part of our fleet. You can imagine what happened next."

It worked though, for two millennia. Then the Senate became too power-hungry and splintered into factions, each commanding a part of our fleet. You can imagine what happened next."

Rok'atu said, "That is almost what happened to us. Our Emperor died before announcing an heir, then his sons vied for power. The entire empire turned upon each other, siding with a prince, and eventually, the war spilled out into this galaxy."
North Calaveras
08-09-2007, 23:13
Kash: i suppose that's the way of animals: he smiled.
Void Templar
08-09-2007, 23:17
Rok'atu smiled politely, then said with an even tone, "If this was not a diplomatic conference I would feed you to some real animals." He then turned to the President and smiled again.
Ruthless Slaughter
08-09-2007, 23:18
Rourke nodded shooting Kash a piercing look before speaking, "Indeed civil war is the most bitter kind. Fortunately our leader survived and is here in our sector of space. Outside of our twenty explorer vessels you won't see much of us. He's assembling most our fleet to go back into Dominion space and save as many citizens as possible from the warring factions. That, and as many military vessels and personnel as possible. We also hope to recover the blueprints for our flagship from the ruins of our shipyards. If we could rebuild it, we would be able to save all of the refugees and leave the senators to their warmongering without any further casulties. As fortune would have it, we have the largest number of ships out of the remnants so we'll be open in our search."

I don't like that Kash... he thought to himself He reminds too much of our former senators. Note to self: mark him as a potential threat
Void Templar

Ruthless Slaughter
08-09-2007, 23:25
"Your offer is most generous. Depending on the number of survivors we find, we may take you up on your offer. We have close to a thousand vessels at our disposal, but out of a fleet with nearly a million at its height and an entire galaxy to cover, our work will be cut out for us."

OOC: That just made me consider the possibility of making the rescue mission an RP. I'll have to start thinking about a solid sequence of events...
Xiscapia
08-09-2007, 23:27
Jade nodded and spoke to Rourke. "If you need a place to stay, we gladly open Xiscapia or one of it's colonies to you and your people."
OOC: See ya NC. If there is a Rescue RP, may I be apart of it?
Ruthless Slaughter
09-09-2007, 00:34
"You are most kind. Until we are able to expand and find enough room for the refugees, we gratefully accept your offer. I must say, with the Dominion Starfleet being the only help I've ever relied on, it is both disturbing and refreshing to have an ally aiding us. Though it begins a new era of openness for the Dominion, it is the first time in the history of our people that we have ever needed outside help. Forgive me if I seem a little nervous or unsure, this is unfamiliar and slightly frightening ground for any citizen.

Try to imagine yourself in the most violent, bloody and nightmarish of situations. Then imagine your fleet and your soldiers, those who have always been there to ensure no harm would come to you, are nowhere to be found. That is currently what billions of people are experiencing and we can't in good conscience leave them. Part of the oath every officer took was to defend and uphold the welfare of every Dominion citizen no matter the cost or threat. You now know why this is so important to us and why your help means so much."

OOC: Of course. It would probably include everyone willing to help, seeing as there's an entire war torn galaxy to sift through. I may even make some of the former senators more powerful than originally estimated and have the shipyards 'inhabited' :D
Xiscapia
09-09-2007, 00:52
OOC: Tasty (my word for cool).
IC: Jade nodded. "We would be more than willing to help you rescue your people by providing both aide in your area and homes in ours. Please don't be embaressed about our help, we were helped before, we are now trying to repay the offer to however we can find."
Ruthless Slaughter
09-09-2007, 01:05
"And for that you have the gratitude of formerly the largest empire in the known universe," Rourke chuckled ruefully, "Such that it is now. I warn you though, what you will undoubtedly be up against will be unlike anything you have ever faced before. Our vessel is the smallest class of warship in the fleet not counting fighters. The majority are various classes of cruisers backed up by capital ships and carriers. The primary weapons on our Strike, War, and Omega cruisers are plasma weapons. The capital ships carry those as well as small numbers of antimatter torpedoes. Most of them were either wiped out or went into hiding. Once we start broadcasting our intentions, we should expect military vessels by the hundreds to join us."

OOC: Just a look at our Raven class capital ship

well things seemed to be going great except for kash, he may be trouble in the future. well he would have to see. everyone else seemed to be enjoying themselves completely.
Jorr-Ucch thought this might be a good time for a little more positive reinforcement. thinking quickly he projects images of extreem peace and tranquality into kash's mind. it amuses him that kash thinks he can detect who sent the images before. the Algol use this kind of thing from almost the time they are born.
slowly images of lovly fields covered with wildflowers spring into kash's mind, happy children play and lovers walk hand in hand across the fields. throngs of butterflies sour through the flowers. soothing music fills his mind, something like brahm's lullaby waft across the scene.

The President Stands, I would like to give a toast to new friends. to peace amoung our people's and for greater security amoung our nations.

ooc sorry NC couldn't resist:D

Rourke raised his glass, "To peace and new allies."

He had to check the reflexive 'for the glory of the Dominion' and drank before sitting back down. Things were going well. In fact, they were exceptional. The Captain couldn't think of a better group to have met in this new galaxy. Tensions were high at first, but as soon as their intentions were animosity cleared up. That and he had been the officer responsible for the first alliance the Dominion had ever entered. Life was good. He smiled to himself and took another bite of scallops.

11-09-2007, 02:19
defenately glad everyone is enjoying themselves the president notices kash's discomfort. thinking at Jorr-Ucch, This wouldn't happen to be any of your handywork. Jorr-ucch quickly responds, just a bit of positive reinforcement though i could have him doing the Alphan Mating Dance for the amuzement of the guests if i felt like it. It was all the president could do not to laugh, or even crack a smile. Please don't was all he could think at the moment. Just the image of kash doing the Alphan Mating Dance, In full Rut would have him in stitches later that night. later he would have Jorr-Ucch transmit the image to the Xiscapian Deligation so that they could have a good laugh as well.


Ooc decided to carry on with the dinner for a bit. of course i could have kash do the De Oh song from Beatlejuice if anyone would like:rolleyes: just messing with you NC:D
Xiscapia
11-09-2007, 02:25

the next day the President and Jorr-ucch enter into the counsel room. looking around at the seating, making sure everything is just so. when they are finished they take their places.

around the compound horns burst into fanfair to signal the begining of the talks, Schwullunde Aerospace Fighters fly over the compound trailing colored smoke, in the national colors of the attendies.

Captain Rourke and his two aides strode toward the conference room. The aides were doing last minute checks to insure that the Captain's notes were just so, and that nothing was out of place.

What are these guys, OCD? I appreciate attention to detail, but give me a break already...

As they entered the room, Rourke bowed lightly toward the President before taking his seat.

a fanfair playes at the entrance of each deligation. The president stands behind his chair to await the other deligates arrival. before each chair is a data screen as well as a metallic Scroll only partially rolled out. the scroll seems to be connected to the data screen by wires. upon the screen is a touch keypad. the data device also has voice recognition. The president informs the deligations that the device will allow the treaty to be hammered out by mutual consent .

OOC this treaty will be devised in character. with each player hopefully adding something to it as well. my current ideas are basicly going to be the creation of a joint military force, to be commanded by those who are full members in councle. sorta like the u.n. or "loosly based on the federation" I will get to that later though. Of course i don't beleave that it should abrogate any nations inherant rights.
can someone catch Vt and let him know the talks are begining :)
oh Ruthless Slaughter its quite possible that many of the schwullunde do have something similer to ocd lol. more likely though it has to do with the fact that there is a good amount of german in their ancestry. you know the german mentality of everything in its place and all. not only that but Xiscapians are similer to the japanese, same attention to detail and all.
Void Templar
15-09-2007, 19:48

[NS]Schwullunde
15-09-2007, 20:28
smiling as the Void Templers Deligation enter and take their seats, the President finally sits down at the table. Answering the Void Templers Question the president says, well sorta. What will happen is that each deligation will add parts to the whole of the treaty. that way everyone has a say in its formation equally.
I would like to welcome everyone to these talks, thank you for taking time away from the affairs of state to attend. with that he presses a button upon his pad and each of your data pads light up and text appears on the screen

Article I : We recognize the Soverenty of each individual nation. no other nation shall attempt to deprive any other of their inherant rights through coersion or force.

ooc sorry for the delay. got stuck on other things. didn't notice the new posts till now. oh nc article 1 really don't cover that sorta provision, its to do with trade and such not military manouvers that will be covered later. i suppose that a military spy type op could conceaveably try to use art 1 as a cover but later articles will make that impossible i hope lol
Ruthless Slaughter
21-09-2007, 22:15
Rourke smiled, "I hadn't considered that, but then again crime has been virtually unknown in the Dominion for millennia. If you REALLY wish to see our prisons and quarantine zones, be my guest and whatever dieties you believe in help you."

OOC: Once we get the treaty finalized I'll start writing up the incursion into the Old Dominion Galaxy. Should be fun! >:)

this force shall be henceforth known as the Alliance Peacekeepers

At no time shall these forces be used by their respective nation for any mission that has not been approved by the member councle . They may not be used in leau of regular military forces nor may they be used as a reserve force.

Article 3 : At no time shall member nations make war upon another member of the alliance. All greavences between the member nations shall be taken up with the member councle. the member councle shall attempt to settle any such greavences peacefully.

At no time may member nations conduct espionage against another member nation, nor shall they conduct survailance of the military forces of another member nation.

in the event of invasion by outside forces, each member nation must provide assistance in repeling the enemy forces. this assistance may be in the form of monitary or military support.

if the event of invasion of outside forces the Alliance Peacekeepers shall be called forth to defend against the enemy.

In the event that it should become necessary to invade the territory of an outside nation the Alliance Peacekeepers shall make up the bulk of the force. each member nation may provide additional forces to act as a reserve force.

Article 4 : The member nations shall form an Alliance Councle, to be made up of one representitive from each of the member nations to be chosen at the discretion of the nation they represent.

The Councle Shall be independant of the governments of the member nations.

Each Representitive shall hold his post for as long as he is fit to hold the post. He may not be recalled by his respective nation for any reason. He shall hold his post until such time as he shall resign his post. In the event that it should become necessary a representitive may be removed from his post by a majority vote by the rest of the councle. a reprosentitive may only be removed for gross misconduct, mental defect, or physical defect preventing him from conducting his duties. Each Representitive shall make a small salary,the amount of to be chosen by a vote by the leaders of the member nations. If a representitive must be removed from service the councle must stand down until such time as a new representitive may be chosen.

The Councle shall have the power to command the Alliance Peacekeepers in all matters.

Article 5 : If at such time as it should become necessary to forcibly remove the councle from command, the member nations must call a vote to do so. this vote must be of a majority of no less then three-forths of the member nations. In the event of such an event the Alliance Peacekeepers must then remove the councle at the command of the member nations.
The Councle may only be removed in the event that the councle should attempt to overthrow any of the member nations, or act in a manner opposite to the purpose for which they have been formed. they shall not be removed if it should become necessary for the overthrow of the government in the event that one of the member nations should attack another member nation.

Article 6 : the Peoples of the member nations shall be afforded all rights and priviliges contained herein

The Right to Property
The Right to Life
The Right to Privacy
The Right to Conduct their personel affairs in a just manner.
The Right to Justice
The Right to an Education


thats just what i have come up with at the moment. any further ideas for articles please right them up and we will add them to the full text after art6.
i beleave this text comprises several of the same things as Xiscapias NS treaty. I tried to make this fairly government neutral instaid of Democratic/Republic specific to allow even the most Despotic Government.
this is of course basicly the agenda of this conferance so thats why i posted it here. oh i just wrote it is why i just posted it:D also as you can see i tried to add checks and balances, please if you think up something that i missed let me know

Rourke looked over the treaty, "How large a fleet would be required? At our present state, we have only five hundred capable warships with an additional one hundred under construction at our shipyards. Perhaps if we could add a minimum of how many vessels in the form of a percentage of a nation's capable vessels it would be a little clearer. However, I do recognize that having been part of a force controlling an entire galaxy, my definition of fleet may be different.
However, with an expedition that my government is planning, we soon hope to have much, much more. I have just received word that once this treaty has been finalized the Dominion Starfleet is launching an incursion into our old galaxy. Sources have confirmed that there are thousands of badly damaged bu still intact warships adrift in space as well as elements of loyalist forces in hiding."

Kash: We have ship trouble as well, we have no homeworld, so there are two choices, take back the old, or find a new, preferably, i this galaxy. As for ships, we only have 30, until we start building more, we have no place to build.

we will discuss that at length when we arrive at that particular Article. that said i would like to say that that was probibly bad wording it said fleet when it should have included groundbased militaries and aerospace units. facts are while we generally just retrofit salvaged warships from past wars repairing them and thereby keeping costs down i recognize that some nations may not have that luxury. so i will change the wording to include groundbased/aerospace divisions.

ooc sorry bout that should have caught that issue in advance. in the event that a nation just cannot field 1 division/fleet/airgroup i figure tech support could be substituted. I had also thought up the idea of basicly merging the actual personel forces throughout the treaty orginization to create a mix of all species within each unit.anyway the 1 fleet isn't necessarily the actual amounts of equipment that you actually have to produce just how much you actually maintain. in other words those of us who can would supply the actual hardware and personel, letting each nation to just maintain the unit. sorta like each state maintains a National Guard unit while the Fed supplies the equipment. hope that explains better. in fact as soon as NC and Vt cast their vote then i will move on to Art 2 which is the Article in question:cool:

blinking calmly the president says think you kash. well we seem to have a quarum of votes as such i see no further reason to hold onto Article 1 any longer. with that he presses a button on his pad and article 2 appears in full upon the screen.

Article 2 : With an eye toward peace among the galaxy, a Military force shall be formed from amoungst the member nations. They shall be used to maintain the peace between the members of the alliance as well as defend the alliance from outside aggression. They will be made up of at least 1 fleet/division per member nation. they shall be maintained by the government of the nation that called them into service. they shall be commanded by the member nation councle in all matters.
this force shall be henceforth known as the Alliance Peacekeepers

At no time shall these forces be used by their respective nation for any mission that has not been approved by the member councle . They may not be used in leau of regular military forces nor may they be used as a reserve force.

Admindment 2.1 The Alliance Peacekeepers shall be Equiped by the Alliance. Each Nation shall supply Equipment,Technoligy,and Money to suply the whole force. This equipment shall then be issued to each individual Unit By the Alliance Councle.

Admindment 2.2 all Personel for the alliance peacekeepers shall be Recruted from the member nations. After Recrutment they shall be assigned to Individual Units as needed by the Alliance Councle

any comments or questions about Article 2, the president says.

Rourke raised an eyebrow, "It may take some time for other Alliance members to learn our technology. Whether or not it is more or less sophisticated than other members' equipment it is of another galaxy, most likely unfamiliar. We would gladly contribute a mix of one hundred cruisers, capital ships, and carriers plus however many soldiers you deem necessary, though we would need to set up a training program to get Alliance members assigned to our vessels acquainted with our technology. Perhaps start an Academy at a central point between all member nations?"
Xiscapia
23-09-2007, 01:58
The Emperor spoke up. "I second Rourke's idea of an Academy. However, I disagree with this part of Article 2:
At no time shall these forces be used by their respective nation for any mission that has not been approved by the member councle . They may not be used in leau of regular military forces nor may they be used as a reserve force.
"What if, per se, the Alliance fleet recieves a call for help, wheather from another military fleet or civilian? Do we ignore them because it is "not a mission approved by the council"?" On that note, we can supply a fleet of 100 ships as our Alliance fleet."
North Calaveras

smiling at the emperor, the president says. good point I never considered that circumstance. how about this
Article 2 : With an eye toward peace among the galaxy, a Military force shall be formed from amoungst the member nations. They shall be used to maintain the peace between the members of the alliance as well as defend the alliance from outside aggression. They will be made up of at least 1 fleet/division per member nation. they shall be maintained by the government of the nation that called them into service. they shall be commanded by the member nation councle in all matters.

Admindment 2.1 The Alliance Peacekeepers shall be Equiped by the Alliance. Each Nation shall supply Equipment,Technoligy,and Money to suply the whole force. This equipment shall then be issued to each individual Unit By the Alliance Councle.

Admindment 2.2 all Personel for the alliance peacekeepers shall be Recruted from the member nations. After Recrutment they shall be assigned to Individual Units as needed by the Alliance Councle

Admindment 2.3 If in the event the need should arise that help is requested by a member nation. the Alliance Peacekeepers must respond. the Peacekeepers may provide assistance without prior consent of the councle in the event that they recieve a distress call from any member nation. The Peacekeepers may provide humanitarian aid, if the need should arise without prior consent.

admindment 2.4 If emergancy relief is provided in this manner it must be reported to the councle as soon as possible. The councle will retroactivly provide consent, in all cases. if for any reason the councle decides that such permision would violate this treaty no member of the Peacekeepers shall receive punishment of any kind nor shall any officer be punished. only the commanding officer may receive punishment in such an event.

thank you for your equipment pledges, the president says. Kash, not exactily. the crew will be made up of personel from all member nations. you may have dozens of individuals from all member nations serving within one crew at the same time. if you mean that your ships will be crewed entirely by crews made up entirely of another race then no.

Rourke, naturily such an acadamy will be created. this will be necessary to provide only the best for the Peacekeepers. all members should receive instruction in a variaty of tecnoligy and tactics. of course i am sure that not all technoligy would require such training, particuly technoligy requiring no crew like ship hulls and such. in fact after initial fielding i would suggest that we create shipyards to produce vessles specificaly for the peacekeepers. that way the 2nd generation equipment would be far more uniform amoungst the units. these shipyards would be located within the alliance nations

"We can supply 10 of battle-carriers with 50 fighters on board, as well as around 40 Crystalis Destroyers. However, Destroyers are made from living crystal and may not respond to other race's genetic structure. We would ave to take a DNA sample from each race..."

"An excellent idea! If you wish while our fleet is in the Old Galaxy we can make a detour at the Kuat Drive Yards and move it here. With artificial womrhole technology, it would be a simple matter of moving drydocks and the old administration starbase through the void with a few tugboats to keep them in place. It would be easy to retrofit it for new vessels. However, it would take some time, even if it was our first stop. Despite the space-time bending properties of wormholes, it still took weeks for us to get here."

interesting ideas says the president, VT I am sure that something along those lines could be arranged, not that in our case its completely necessary as we are 99.8 % human anyway. anything that would work for most humans would most likely work for us. :D we will of course accept all the equipment you feel is necessary.

Rourke also an interesting idea, we do not have wormhole tech ourselves. though i am sure if we wanted it we could either accuire it or build it. In fact once we establish this treaty orginazation we may want to do just that to secure your ability to defend yourselves and to further our own goals within the galaxy as a whole. time isn't really a facter in how long such a journey would take.


ooc: do i sense a bit of the old sg1 tech peaking through guys lol. I have had discussions about super wormholes already, and while it generally isn't my thing. it could make for an interesting story. oh i do got a question what if we mixed my hyperspatial drive with the common warp drive, wouldn't such a drive theoreticly be faster then either alone. along the lines of droping into hyperspace then activating the warp engines. with a little tinkering the warp engines should be able to work in hyperspace.
Ruthless Slaughter
25-09-2007, 02:00
OOC: Always been a fan of transwarp myself, and the wormhole technology is actually based on what they toyed with from Star Trek Deep Space Nine. It's a pretty powerful piece of tech, so I limit it to my larger ships making a case that the generators are too large to be housed on the smaller craft. The twenty refitted explorer vessels will eventually have their own, but the rest of my fleet will rely on using the corridors made by larger ships.

I use a system of jump gates linked into certain points all across the universe, but only the larger ships can use them. But there's no way to get back through them, so their also equipped with a warp and sub-light drive.

"I'm a little surprised the ratio is not higher. Though I suppose my people are more human than not," Rourke smiled.
[NS]Schwullunde
26-09-2007, 04:33
the president smiled, looking toward the Emperor he says. Well the other 2% are various genetic alterations, because they are not standard human we coun't them as non terran human genes. its kinda like the differance between Homo Neandertalus and Cro Magnon, they had very little genetic variation between the species. yet neither are considered human. also there may be other non human genes added, we never went into it with the Algol. And they are silent on the matter. Looking toward Rourke he adds, of course those are just the differences we can detect with our limited Technoligy. Returning to the emperor he asks, oh was the additions to Article 2 satisfactory, sorry for my terrible wording of the actual text. The main reason for some of those rules is to hopefully keep the treaty organization in check and keep it from growing to large. large enough to actually pose a threat to its founders, It was never intended to limit such acts of mercy. of course if such an act causes more harm then good or breaks the laws of common sociaty then even an act of mercy can become a crime. (Ie to protect our nations the peacekeepers decide to take over and create a totalitarian state).

ooc:
Xiscapia: me to, hence the reason i don't use Warp tech myself. the transporters are actually based of off tesseract technoligy mixed with Sg1 Asgaard tech. But the idea of combining the 2 is interesting. also i never fully beleaved in the idea that the first ships humans create would be so streamlined, SW was far more beleavable in that respect.

Ruthless Slaughter: Yeah i guess its similer to transwarp, though its more like a loophole in the physics. warp cannot go faster then 9.99 acording to ST, but if you drop into hyperspace which allows for faster travel by time displacement(Hsp has no real time aspect time is caried with the ship but its not exactily the same quantum speed). so in theory if you go to hyperspace, you could use warp up to 9.99 and yet in effect you would be going faster in RT.

Void Templar: Jump Gates hmmm are they like the Stargate link in Sg atlantus or like the Jump Gates in Babylon 5. either way interesting little trick.

general: also as to what genes were added well sometimes its better not ask too many questions, or at least that was my peoples idea. but in ooc probibly amoeba or other Asexual species genes, a few mods to keep Y from bonding with Y and X from bonding with X. really its not my idea just one i borrowed from SF. but from a Biological standpoint i'm not sure why God or Nature didn't use it. its gotta be much more economical then the current system. of course that could explain gays fairly well, if you beleave in evolution then sooner or later its going to happen naturily. Unless God decides he is sick of man before then:D oh and if your currious think of jaffa if you wonder about the exit stratagy:p though not a big Slimy X :eww: oh to keep my people from quickly overpopulating i went with a slightly slower and longer lifespan and a longer gestation period, about 11 ½ mo.
