the warship Havock, 4th Schwullunde Fleet Drops out of hyperspace. It slowly moves into position around the third planet of an unknown planet and begins to scan for life. As it slowly manouvers around the planet looking for any intelligent life, several smaller craft drop out of hyperspace near the planet. after about an hour the scans come back negative. Smilling grimly to himself the captain sends back conformation of no intelligent life and leans back to await the command to deploy forces to lay claim to this new world.

Conformation of location of new planitary system in the Califax Corridor. Authorization to deploy forces to Stake Claim to Planet CC-SM-76509.3-SR. Use all necessary force to defend planet from claimjumpers.
Begin scans for metal deposits and all valuable resources.

The captain grins and immeadiately orders the mission to commence operations.

planetside:

A large herbavore looks up to see whats is making that noise. she is fairly knowledgeable of the sounds of local carnavores but has never heard this sound before. slowly an object drops out of the clouds and hovers above a nearby field. The herbavore is a little nervious about this thing that has appeared suddenly above her grazing area. with a loud clank several openings appear in the sides of the object and thousands of small black objects pour out of it in huge clouds. as these clouds move groundward the herbavore decides she doesn't like the looks of these invaders and starts fleeing the area. Hundreds of other animals panic and stampede away from the swarms of objects that are pouring from the sky. herbavore and carnavore alike run for their lives as swarms of flying objects catch straglers and shot small barbed needles into their flanks. each such creature stumbles and drops to the ground as the heavy seditive works itself into their bloodstream.

Secondary action, claiming of in system asteroid fields.

An Augustus Heavy Destroyer enters in system.

Captain Noway, hailing, "We acknowledge your claim to all planetary bodies in system. We would like to claim rights to the outer oort cloud and part of the asteroid field in system."

the captain picks up the Augustus as it moves into the system. Recognising the ship as a Commonalitarianism Vessel he ponders their appearance on this side of space. as he wonders he receives the hail from the captain of the Augustus, ahhh looks like they are interested in the Oort Cloud. Hmmm. He quickly decides on his reply.Commonalitarianism Ship Augustus: Captain Noway, This is Colonel Picano of the Css Havock. we recognise your intention of seting up operations in the oort cloud. We Acknowledge said claim with one caveat. that we lay claim to a passage through the cloud. all other areas of the oort cloud will remain in your hands.
Colonel Picano Transmits the current situation back to Command for their acknowledgement. As they have never had any problems with the Commonalitarianism there shouldn't be a problem.

planetside: in the field Hundreds of Soldiers start transporting to the surface. along with them is excavation equipment and building materials.. slowly they start setting up camp. A handful procede to move toward the helpless creatures with handheld scanners to take readings of the planets indiginious life. culling out one, a creature that looks kinda like a large buffalo they procede to slaughter the creature in prep for that nights dinner. one of the probs detaches itself from the swarms and moves toward the soldiers. as it alights one moves over and sets its search command to look for more of these perticular beasts. after all it will take alot to feed all of the troops.

Captain Noway from the Augustus, "Of course, we will allow free passage of your ships through the Oort Cloud Space, we are mainly interested in the physical asteroids and oort cloud comets and cometary material. Freespace colonization and construction has different parameters than planetary colonization."

A large six kilometer wide city ship exits hyperspace near the oort cloud. It is a domed arcology, and represents the equivalent of a city state in the overall hierarchy of the Commonalitarianism. It begins the long slow process of collecting cometary material, and identifying asteroids for processing into a second city ship.

Thank you Captain Noway, message received and understood. The steller matter of the Oort is of no consiquance to us, so you are more hte welcome to it.

In space: a giant hyperspace wormhole appears just inside the system. out of it appears the entire 4th Fleet of the schwullunde. They move toward the planet en mass and take up an equatorial position around the planet. troop carriers move into position and start transporting the entire 5th and 6th Corps to the planet.
a huge ship takes up position just outside the main body and fires a plasma cannon at the surface of the planet.

Planetside: in a barren rocky field 5 klicks from the base camp a huge violet beam lances into the ground and disintergrates a huge 5 mile diameter whole in the surface. the hole decends 6 miles deep. as the beam stops a huge ship decends toward the creator and begins sending out much smaller ships. these ships begin construction of a huge underground base.
just outside base camp the 5th and 6th Corps begins appearing on the planet they begin to move outwards away from the transport site and begin to set up camps.

In Space: A big asteroid covered with thick armor plates and particle beam cannon emplacements circles the planet. There are bays in the asteroids for starfury fighters, and boarding assault pods. The job of the base is first line defense for the world.

Painted on the asteroid is a large flag, At the top it says M.S.I.-- Mobile Space Infantry, with a picture of an armored space mech, on the bottom it says, Asteroid Legions, Cerebus Division.

The asteroid is scored with ridges where Posleen cutting lasers tried to take it apart. There are plasma burns from bugger ground artillery. It looks like the repairs are only partially done, instead of repairing, they just added more armor.

the havock slowly rotates to follow the Astroid. Colonel Picano stares at the astroid with intense interest. Hmmm Interesting design, fairly inpregnible to weapons fire. punching a button on his console he hails the Astroid. Commonalitarianism Astroid, please take up a luner-range orbit around the planet. this will allow you full range of movement. has the Astroid been equiped with Transporters? if not we will take care of that issue imeadiately with your permission.

Planetside: with the underground base in full construction and the temporary surface camps set up teams of soldiers procede to fan out to explore the planet. swarms of Hunter/Seeker Drones scan everything they come across.

A tall human answers the communication, "No, we don't have transporters, our assault pods are designed to breach shielding. We will gladly take a position around the moon."

with a quick response of message received the Colonel returns to the mission. grinning to himself he contacts several scout ships and sends them out to patrol the outer reaches of the system as well as to map further outside the system.

planetside: after about a couple of hours the hunter/seekers detect an deralict spacecraft. rapidly they scan the exterior of the ship to figure out the configuration of the craft in hopes of learning the race the craft originated from.

At the edge of the system, yet another ship drops out of hyperspace. About 950 meters long, the Inspiron (http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h52/nx9100/lastscan.jpg) was the largest battlecruiser serving the Daytona Defense Force. It was on a search mission, tracking the course of a long-lost terran ship...
"Captain! Sensors are reading several other vessels in the system," reported a crewman. The captain turned from the forward viewport. Located at the bow of the ship, the main bridge symbolized the commanding officer as leading his crew into battle. This has been a hallmark of nearly all terran ships built in the Daytona System. Upon checking the readouts, the captain glanced at the comm officer. "Send out a message on all channels," he ordered. "Standard friendship message. 'We're looking for a lost ship, mean no harm' etc." "Yes sir," replied the comm officer...

This is the DDFS Inspiron. We are searching for a lost ship from our sector, and are not wishing to claim this system. Unless confronted, we will continue on our mission.


(ooc: what area on the galaxy1 map is this? i got a little confused. oh, and please ignore the 'jolly rogers' on my pic. that is the ship, but i didn't have time to remove those. i'll get better pics up in a day or so...)

Colonel we are picking up a hail from an unknown vessel upon the boundry of the system, Says the comms officer. Colonel Picano looks up in supprise as well as calculating the possible outcomes of this contact. well no time like the present to make contact.

In Space: The Havock whirls around and two smaller battleships move into position flanking the Havock, and the three ships move toward the unknown Ship at top speed.

at the edge of the system the three ships fall out of trans-system drive directly in front of the unknown vessel, The colonel punch's the comms button and sends out a hail on the same channel as the Vessel.DDFS Inspiron: This is Colonel Picano commander of the Schwullunde Warship Havock. You have entered into the vacinity of CC-SM-76509-SR: This area has been Claimed by the Commonwealth of Schwullunde: In response To your Hail we have detected an unknown vessel crashed on the third planet of this system. We have detected no life-signs or signs of an intelligent species on the planet: If this is your missing ship, it would appear that there were no survivors of the crash: We would be willing to allow your ship to salvage the crashed vessel and any crewmembers bodies that you manage to find.

ooc: this system is about 3 ly into the Califas Corridor, it is a 2 ½ ly wide area at the proxima border. it stretches from the schwullunde sector to the upper edge of the proximan republic. its kinda hard to see on the map because of the map size.

(OOC: sorry for the delay. I didn't mean to slow this thread down. Oh, and if you had other plans for the crashed ship, we can go that route instead...)


IC:


Warship Havock, We understand and accept your claim to this system. We'll take a look at the wreck to confirm if its ours or not.

"Set course for the third planet," ordered that captain. "Prepare a ground team to head dirtside." The Inspiron began to move past the Schwullunde ships, on course to orbit the planet...

OOC no prob. as to the ship it tends to be a favorite plot device of mine. other then as background they are usually just striped of tech. My plans change depending upon the other players actions anyway. Califas is a more military expansion then a horror thread anyway. though i promise nothing:rolleyes:. also check out Commonalitarianism, Xiscapias, and Mine Planetary reclamation thread. It looks like it may have some serrious tie-ins brewing.

IC:
The soldiers at the Crashed Ship are given the orders to hold until such time as it can be deturmined if this ship belongs to a new civilization that has been located in the nearby region. the soldiers procede to position themselves about !5 meters from the ship and await further orders.
At base camp work is under way on the Military outpost and many of the soldiers busy themselves with the day to day aspects of the mission.
