Greetings, for quite some time now I’ve had the desire to take the plunge into future tech, and now I’ve finally reached a point where this is a possibility. I would like to say right away that I’m going for a decidedly ‘soft’ future tech form, while I commend all those who do the ‘hard’ future tech, its just not what I’m interested in, otherwise I would simply stay 100% modern tech. For me sci-fi is a background and should never overshadow the characters therein, so for me, I’m just here to have some fun doing some writing and role-playing with some other people (should anyone else be interested) in a universe that allows me a few more freedoms then MT, and requires compromise between players.

On that note, I’d also like to mention that MT Kilrany will not be going anywhere, and that FT Kilrany will have no ‘direct’ correlation with my MT nation; despite a few similar themes, which I will continue to RP with. ‘Glory be’ to the addition of either MT or FT to designate which is which.

Also, taking a page from the books of a few other NS’ers out there, I figure I’ll just use one large, general purpose OOC thread for my FT nation, given I’m a small scale RP’er with a tendency to have few threads on the go at once. For ease of communications, one could simply placed a header at the beginning of one’s post here stating which of my FT threads you’re asking about, but I somehow doubt this will be a significant problem anyway.

As a final note, while I’m staying clear of using a few things myself out of a belief that they can be to easily abused, such as psychics, force powers, EMP/Ion weapons (anything that caused the electronics of another persons equipment to fail while leaving your own perfectly fine in other words), this is not to say I wont RP with someone who does, I just don’t intend to use them myself. For as far as I’m concerned, they’re the nuclear, biological and chemical weapons of FT, if used well however, they’re an excellent addition to the story however.

Quite obviously a work in progress, I hope to improve upon it as time allows.

A Chance Encounter (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=13624937#post13624937) - Sadly dead
This is to be my opening and I feel the need to explain some of the background to it. I originally started work on this some time ago, around September of 06, but it never got farther then a side project due to my job and other role-plays in MT.

It also originally called for Russkya to play a major role, and we even had a number of posts to lead into opening it to public entry, but he had to withdraw from the concept, and rather then abandon all the work I put into the story, I’ve edited direct reference to him out, and only left him in, in passing, leaving it open for him to rejoin at a later date should he desire to do so.

As such I have over thirty pages of MS Word for my intro, so rather then try and post the entire thing at once, I’m going to do it in sections to allow anyone interested to read each sections of the opening story.

I have to admit though that the inhabited planet is something of a Macguffin, an opening for me to start with and eventually lead in for other players. The thread for this shall be going up momentarily.

There Be Aliens Here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=13741495#post13741495) - Complete ... ish
While it took an unexpected turn, I'm pleased with the results, made a few mistakes, ideally learned from them.
Well, here’s a new one, originally started as something of a lark; found myself bored one day so I started writing this with the intent of it being something of a parody for my own enjoyment, when it was done, I found that it seemed to look like a pretty decent introduction for a new RP, and after a discussion with a few others, here we are. The name is perhaps not as serious, but I could not decide on a good one, so I put together a list and a few thought this was the best of them.

Once more the thread is semi-closed as the title suggests, if you wish entry please post a message here or TG me; this is not so much to exclude anyone as it is a continued attempt to prevent the thread; and myself, from becoming overwhelmed with numbers as the host, given it is a relatively small scale RP. I have no real limitations on your forces, use what you feel is appropriate to your nation, I only ask for a little restraint in numbers.

Currently I have no planned number limit, but there are three reserved slots, Ganoxa for showing initial interest in the RP along with his involvement in my introduction thread, Hyperspatial Travels for his current involvement in my introduction thread, and Diggledom, who expressed a desire to claim the ship and use this to help introduce himself into FT after I mentioned it in passing on MSN.

An additional note to those in the A Chance Encounter RP, while this uses the same location and characters, I felt it best to simple make it a new thread rather then squeeze it in with the intro thread. As such I am not abandoning it, and I do wish to continue with it, so I suggest that while it’s been three to four days since the meeting on the Belldandy, we keep any references to it vague so we can continue without difficulty, at least it is my desire to do that, as I’m pretty sure it would have remained friendly, as I the Kilrany certainly would not have started anything, heh, and I’d like to continue with the development we had going.

Arcani Corporation (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=559594) - Dead unless interest shown by other
Rather simple, thread mostly makes the point, a Kilrany military unit masquarading as a private military corporation to gain insight into the seedier side of the universe at large and test Kilrany military equipment and hardware, also blantant excuse for me to continue with relatively small scale RPs, *Grin*
Might get a more detailed summary in here later if something decent comes to mind.

Project Midgard (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=554797) - On indefinte hiatus pending burst of creativity
I recognize that this is hardly an original concept, but I have to admit I’m no less susceptible to the ‘because it’s cool’ factor of certain things. As stated in the OOC heading, the thread is closed and merely stands to lay the groundwork for further work so it doesn’t just randomly pop up later. If you feel however that you have a valid justification for entry in it, or simply have a few questions, please feel free to express them here in the OOC thread. This should also explain just what Project Midgard is to anyone who read the first intro post and were curious.

Welcome to FT. May I join?

Well, I'll definitely consider it, for the moment I just want to get some of the 'build up' posts in, can you give me an over view of how you intend to enter the scene? Basic summary is all I ask, out of curiosity.

I've also added a link to the IC thread for A Chance Encounter in the first post along with the next section for it.

Update first post to include Project Midgard and link to IC thread for it for those who might have been curious as to what it was.

Addendum, somehow I managed to mess up the two links and had them swapped, they are now fixed.

Just a exploration vessel jumping in, or i could have a colony established in the system. Your pick as to what would fit.

I have no problem with an exploration vessel, so if you'd like to come in using that you're welcome to do so.

I've always been a fan of smaller scale operations, at least on my part, easier and more enjoyable for me to actually RP, but I don't have any problems with larger numbers from other people as long as they just give me a brief summary and a good reason for them. Honestly I'm just looking to ensure this little system doesn't fill up with a thousand ships in a couple seconds of my arrival.

It occurs to me after reading my last post, coupled with my own personal paranoia, that my IC actions might be easily mistaken for OOC opinion, as I’ve had that misunderstanding happen before. To that end, let me state clearly, please do not take anything I say ICly as how I actually feel in regards to any subject OOCly; I recognize that you may not even have considered it, but as I said, my own sense of paranoia compels me to ‘cover my own ass’ as it were, *grin*.

I do my best to have my characters react as I figure most likely given the situation, sometimes this might seem to others as how I actually feel, for example in a small RP someone stated they had booby-trapped a piece of equipment in case a deal went wrong and I had my character react negatively, but personally I thought it had been an intelligent move.

In this regard, I refer to mention of cloaking systems and gravity Gravitational sensors, as I felt it best to clarify why they might suspect your vessel of having them, but not know for sure without appearing to ‘meta game’ as it were. If I have a problem or a question in regards to something, I will bring it up OOCly, not IC jabs, just so I’m clear.

That all being said, I’m enjoying this immensely so far and look forward to your next post.


To anyone else who may be reading the IC thread, and in association, this OOC thread, I am still open to more players if you’re interested in giving me a brief summary of your intent. As I believe I mentioned earlier, my primary intent with having this a semi-closed RP was merely to prevent massive fleets and overwhelming numbers of players.

Its quite alright really, I don't take IC responses personally as it is just a roleplay. Also its ok to be paranoid in the deep reaches of space, as you really don't know what you'll encounter.

Also to note I'm quite flexible so just TG me or IM me on what you want this story to go.

Ah, excellent, my paranoid concerns were unwarranted, good to know, heh.

As for the storyline, we’ll, I’m pretty much playing it by ear right now, I have no real overall plan for this, just random ideas that might come in to play in regards to the whole situation and the world in the RP. After all, this is just an intro RP, the FT equivalent of the embassy thread eh? Just a little more interesting and prone to danger, heh.

To be honest, that last post was almost completely written up already, heh, I anticipated a few things and then just altereted to accomadate your arrival first. You have me intrigued though by your two 'escorts' and what they are.

For a brief summary of the Arm Slaves, they are mechanized humanoid suits. Due to the Electro Active Polymer muscle packages the Arm Slaves are no run of the mill mech. They can perform human actions and then some since its a semi master slave trace, as a full master slave trace would be limited to the pilot's physical prowess.

Nice, I wont be able to get a responce up though just now, I leave for work in a minute, so I'll have to write one up when I get home.

Updated to include link to a newly formed factbook, still a work in progress, I hope to have it fleshed out as time permits.

Heres my Factbook (http://z15.invisionfree.com/Ganoxa/index.php?act=idx)

Strange, I'm not sure how I missed it, but going back through the thread to get a name I forgot, I just now noticed your first opening post with the shuttle Hyperspatial Travel, it explains a lot now, heh.

Finally, new RP up and links updated, now its time for sleep before I pass out with it being one in the morning, heh.

I would definately be interested in joining the "There Be Aliens Here" thread, possibly a young (by Onarrán standards) High House noble looking to gain hunts and esteem amongst his fellows, or else bored of hunting in the Realm.

That sounds perfectly fine to me Onarr, you're welcome to participate.

One minor additional note to all, I figure everyone knows at this point what the aliens are and how they act, as such you're free to RP the aliens yourself if you'd like in reaction to your own personnel. I do intent to lay the groundwork in certain areas though once I have a better understanding of the layout of the vessel from Diggledom.

Post is up...sorry it took me so long, it should have gone up a couple of days ago...but exams are finally over!

Any objection if my boy drops down and sneaks into the ship?

Umm, you can try:-D I don't mind, though it is likely that your ship will be spotted by the titan, or one of the Rooks. What with them either being specialised recon vessels or a ships nearly one hundred kilometers long, carrying thousands of people, with sensor systems to match.

Very nice lead in, and no, I have no problem with your fellow slipping on to the wreck.

'leahtorlic’déathbǽrlic’nicor' I have to admit, it looked like you randomly slammed down on the keyboard; just kidding. I'm quite pleased how this progresses thus far; I hope to have a post up before the end of the night, lot there to react too.

Diggledom: You're looking for something that's only twenty metres long, cloaked, with no weapon radiation, in billions of square kilometres in space when there are much bigger ships floating about with guns. Sneaky is what these guys do.

Incidentally, loving the 'sleeve' concept

Kilrany: It's old english, means savage'deathly/deadly'thing. I get a bit carried away sometimes ;)

I know really:-p I am just sleepy and growling at things that appear:-p

I sadly can't claim responsibility for the "sleeve" concept. Try a series of books by a guy called Richard Morgan. Altered Carbon, Broken Angels and Woken Furies, very good books, I stole lots from them:-D

And Eve-online, though my sizings and stuff are modified, so I won't be following them over-close:-D

Nice writing by the way:-)

I think I have Altered Carbon somewhere, just never got around to reading it.

I definately remember EVE, the game had an awesome web radio station.

Ah, you should, it was one of the main things I read as background for sci-fi writing:-D

I may have to find this web-radio station, you happen to have a link floating around?

http://eve.gamingradio.net/

But it's been a couple of years since I last listened/played. They used to have a legend DJ called Stora (or something like that).

Many thanks fine internet-body:-D

I have had to retcon some of my post due to infomation recieved on ship sizes and the like. I apologise, though this change won't effect anything happening in the RP.

Sorry about the delays in posting - fairly hectic dashing up to & around London.
Will get a post up today/tomorrow.

No problem, and I appreciate the heads up.

I might be a while too. Shouldn't be much longer, but I am working in the school more than I thought I would be, revising all night so I am shattered and cadets and all is ganging up. Thursday night latest it will be up.

Umm, Onarr, you do know that the area around the ship is being monitored by two recon ships? Activating any kind of engines is likely to be foolish atleast. But meh, if you don't want to meet the rest of us yet then I can stick it down to hardwired cutoffs or something.

While Diggledom has a point, one could also however chalk it up to the excess of Kilrany and Ganoxian forces in the area from the Cyprian point of view while from at least my own, it would possible look like the Cyprians have sent in a reconnaissance element, assuming of course it was even detected. Given my own desire to be able to use 'cloaking' technology, I can hardly expect to ignore the use of it from others, especially in small craft.

Just to note, originally I figured the only airlocks would be in the hangar I was using as mentioned in my opening, but upon discussion with Diggledom and his inclusion in the RP, I believe there was mention of airlocks on the outer hull that would presumably be out the line of sight for my forces. So I’ll assume that's where you entered with your character Onarr, as it was likely the best place anyway in keeping with your desire to remain unnoticed by the rest of us for the moment.

Yeah, I was just pointing it out. I left it out of my post, but I just noticed it and wondered if it was on purpose.

I was working on the assumption that there would be maintenance airlocks along the outside of the ship. Obviously I can reword the post to suit Diggledom's ship designs.

The engines only kick in near the surface - rather nice not to smash into the surface y'know? But if you want the recon ships to notice the pod I don't have a problem with it.

I imagine my chap'll make himself known shortly - the Houses are almost obsessively tradition bound and polite, and since he would have gone ahead with the hunt regardless it would have made sense (in a rather peculiar way) to go in quietly than be told not to go in and oppose people who actually have a claim on the ship.

Oh, just to check that you guys don't mind predator-style active camoflage. The Houses tend to hunt as individuals or small groups rather than using larger forces and those doing the hunting are often nobility/wealthy. Not to mention that they are very fragile (think much faster than Predator, but much frailer - one properly solid hit and they're gone). If so let me know and I'll change him about a bit.

Sounds reasonable to me, as far as I understood from what Diggledom told me, there were to be airlocks on the outer hull such as that you could find and use.

And I have no problem with active camouflage, I have that in use by my reconnaissance elements as seen in my intro thread, I didn't use them here for the same reason I don't use them in a combat situation period; with more then one the risk of friendly fire is a bit too great.

Feel free to RP any interaction with the aliens in the corridors as you see fit, I will attempt to detail just where the heart of their nest is.

Also, to help all, I will post some data Diggledom gave me on the freighter he has chosen to use for this under the assumption he wouldn't mind and to help all get a general idea for the layout and what we're up against.

Three main cargo compartments each 180m/h x 450m/l x 150m/w.

Bridge and crew habitation is in the small front section of the vessel, the first 100m behind the pod section (The little bit just above the aerial at the front of the drawing). The 100m x 50m x 50m section at the front is where they sleep and eat and the like, with most of the work stations for the fifty strong crew being near their sections, Engines, engineering and cargo control each having a ten person team, with the extra twenty being brought on board specially to cater for the specific mission, i.e. the heavy lifting and sorting the samples into crates and the like.


The vessel has three docking points for cargo compartments. They are usually delivered to the surface and retrieved by AI controlled thrusters packs, which are then refueled by the ship that retrieves them, essentially each compartment is a small space ship, though without decent power supplies or any defense abilities at all.


The three cargo containers were carrying,

1st Container

~4500 people, various experts and scientists and the like

2nd Container

~1500 people, various engineers and other technicians and equipment, earth moving, various different types of scanners and *the face hugger eggs*in a lab system, having been removed from the world. There is also a high security section, still holding a single, injured alien, which they removed from the world to study.

3rd Container

~Mainly more supplies, couple of hundred people max, but also, if still intact, the remains of several messy fatalities, where a single injured alien had killed several of them on the planet, which is why they removed the eggs and specimen to study.

Now I'm assuming the bridge and forward section has pretty much been destroyed in the crash, and if I understood it properly, the passengers were being carried in status, so the infestation here is extraordinarily heavy by this point.

Given his details, I’m figuring the initial outbreak would have occurred in the second container, and quite possibly where the queen could be found. After discussion with Diggledom, I was under the impression that to accommodate my introduction using the hangar, it was decided that the third container had a modified larger hangar built into it, thus that’s where my forces have landed. I’m also assuming there is relatively easy means of transit between the containers, but Diggledom can perhaps elaborate on that when he has the time.

I hope to have a post up shortly.


Addendum, well, this is embarrassing, I never noticed the original image he sent in the email that was written in. I found a link here (http://www.eve-files.com/media/10/Ship_Chart_4096_With_Big_Names.jpg), the Charon is in the upper left grouping for visual example.

I was about to post that too. Oh well.

Yeah, no problems with predator style cam, the Jovians will be using it if I end up wheeling them out.

On the design layout;

I figured that each of the containers would have a central corridor, with doors opening off either side to get to different areas and stairs to different levels. Other than that I didn't really have much of an idea, just go with the flow. The design is usually rather angular, dark metal and ceramic construction and designed for use by normal humans.

Oh, if you want the airlock you came in by to be extra close to my ideas, just find some shut-down repair drones in there:-D

Apologies for relatively poor post, am a little rushed off my feet at the moment. I'll post again later today or tomorrow to improve on it.

Hey guys, I am in the middle of moving most of my stuff home from uni, so for the next week or so it is likely that my posting will be slightly erratic. I am home at the moment, though I will be back with my computer sometime sunday night. Just wanted to give you a heads up.

Appreciate the heads up, good luck on the move; try not to lose anything, heh

Hiya Kilrany i was wondering if it would be okay for me to drop into your project midguard post?i find it very interesting and wanna join in

Kewen, apologies for the delay in my response, it's been a little hectic around here.

In regards to your request, the primary intent behind Project Midgard was to chronicle the construction of the sphere, thus it's mostly a closed story thread. I am however willing to entertain possible additions to it such as other players, can you tell me what your intent was for joining in?

Hey, Kilrany. Good to see more well-written rpers around here. It's been some time since I've read stuff on the level of your work. I was wondering if you had anything you'd want me in on, or at least consider for future threads.

I have three options:

-Main Nation: Shade Lords whom roam the galaxy seeking to gather souls/lifeforce from any and all beings they can find to feed the never-ending hunger in their very beings. They have legions upon legions of synthetic machine minions whom beat down resistance and gather life force for them. They have a small fleet but are incredibly powerful, while they have nearly endless forces of their synthetic minions but they are quite weak compared to some militaries. More info if selected.

-Secondary Nation: Galactic Defense Initiative, formerly known as the Global Defense Initiative. They are currently dealing with an assault on an ally's world and investigating something that is introducing the Main Nation. However, I can cook up something. They are rather advanced for their level, and have a small but incredibly powerful fleet. Same goes for the army. More info if selected.


-Auxiliary Nation: The Tau Empire from 40k. Basically an idealistic combine of races who fight for the Greater Good of all. Wield ridiculously powerful tech, so small armies and navy, but they are good to speak with...unless you are against them. More info if selected.

So, anything you'd like to add or consider for the future? Just wondering.

Scrinthia, apologies for the delay, busy weekend at work because of big event, had to cover some shifts for people who wanted to attend, didn’t have much time online.

I appreciate the kind words; if I recall didn’t we at some point exchange TGs under a different user name after an awesome introductory opening for the Shade Lords? Ah well, not important just now.

Currently as you can no doubt see at the start of the thread, I’ve got the handful of threads on the go, I am however quite open to any additional members to any of them if you can find a good way in, I’d be more then happy to partake in an RP with any of those three setups you use. To note though, I’m trying to follow a logical (I like to think so anyway, ;)) path with the Kilrany in regards to introducing them to the ‘universe at large’, shall we say, so right now I have something of a self imposed limit on what I myself will get involved with given the IC nature of the Kilrany.

I am however working on a rather straightforward new RP; or opening for a series of RPs depending on how one looks at it, that I might be putting up soon, it would grant me more leeway in interaction with other players. Basic summary would be a somewhat unoriginal introduction of a private military company, basically Kilrany military forces in disguise, which I will readily admit is partially as a result of an OOC desire to use proper Kilrany military forces in smaller scale RPs with what I figure has some IC logic to it as well. I can go into more detail if you’d like.

In regards though to you first ‘nation’, I will readily admit that my own innate sense of paranoia (Gee, I wonder where the ‘Kilrany’ get it form, :rolleyes:) concerning any seemingly god-like race puts me a little on edge. Don’t get me wrong, they can be done really well, but some cynicism in my tends to expect the worst, much like when I’ve heard about a single Jedi taking an entire battleship on his own, for example.

All that being said, I haven’t had any major inspirational jolts for other major RPs I could start that could easily allow others in; such as my intro thread, except my PMC thread I’m working on. Midgard has little openings given its mostly a storyline thread, the Aliens thread probably would get overly complicated if anyone else got in it; I’m going to admit now that I can get a little overwhelmed as the RP host when it comes to threads involving combat given my inexperience in playing the role.

Do you have any thoughts based off what you’ve seen of my FT Kilrany thus far that could play a role in any of your RPs?

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of posting over the weekend, just got a new set of training to do, so I am slowly learning my way around it.

I hate to nit pick, but wouldn't the slightest opening of an airlock into vacuum cause a rather drastic decompression given there's no stopping the internal atmosphere; which is spread through a large network of corridors, thus quite a lot of it, from getting sucked out through that one new opening?

I was under the impression there was barely an atmosphere to begin with.

My computer has recently crashed, died then exploded. Well, the exploded is a slight exageration, but not much of one. I apologise for the long delay in my posting, I hope to have some time to construct one within three days, but present conditions prevent me from promising anything.

Once again, sorry for the delay.

I appreciate the notification, I was wondering why I hadn't seen you on MSN in a little while. Hope all is well soon enough.

Got a post up, once again, sorry for the delay and any questions about the post I will be happy to answer, I can't shake the feeling I have forgotten something.

Nice post, but yes, you did forget something, the little bit with the poor buggers hidding behind the door, heh.

No matter though, that can be continued in the next round of posts, I'll get something up for this one when I can.

GAH! Dang them and their death defiance. I will have one for you after your next post:-p

In regards to the 'There be Aliens here' thread, I would like to point out that I didn't actually make it known that Captain Levitan intended to have the Kilrany infantry leave the freighter, only that they were pulling back to the landing bay. In fact, there's still a good chance they may not leave as he still needs to speak with Major Alekseev, I would have put that in, but I wanted to leave room for responce to Levitan's rather sudden change in attitude, leaving Diggledom's characters to ponder the reasons; most likely being their own threats they returned.

Obviously I didn't make that clear enough, but in any event, we'll see what happens after Diggledom's next post.

Heh, slightly unexpected their Kilrany:-D

Maybe the next bit will be slightly more surprising for your troops if they think that all of my guys are direct copies of one another. I will try to get a post done by the end of today.

And I think I am really getting into the entire cyber-punk side of things. Next time we are on MSN could I have a word? Cheers:-D

And good writing, the post made me grin.

Yeah, I thought that might come as a little unexpected, heh, and of course; just to be clear, 'I' realize that in your 'nation' is not all are clones, but that would be why I was very specific with that, "the assumption was made," bit, heh. Also quite fortunately, there are plenty of other excuses for why my little infantry Captain reacted the way he did after your Captain's little speech to leave plenty of guessing, everything from his threats, perceived condecending tone, etc, heh

As for MSN, drop me a line anytime, though we do seem to be having difficulties being online at the same time, I presume mostly because you're still having a few, 'technical problems', shall we say, heh.

I am now a full time resident of my parents gulag. Internet time is a limited commodity at best. Anyways, I am now posting:-D Give your guys something to think about and if you look at them upclose and personal like you may see some other things that will make you wonder:-p

Apologies for the long delay in my post, I was about three quarters of the way through it when the weekend hit and my brother got married, so things got hectic, and I haven't been able to get back into a writing frame of mind, let along pick up where I left off as I kind of lost direction, but I do intend on having the post up soon.

I have obtained time! I will post in as timely a fashion as is practical, so there will probably be a post up tommorow. Sorry for the delay, public order training has been more in depth than I expected.

Good to hear, I appreciate the heads up, and look forward to your post.

Posted, sorry for the length, severe case of writers block.

In regards to the 'There be Aliens here' Diggledom, your ships that are fleeing, are they keeping together, or taking a more, 'every man for themselves' attempt at running away?

More an every man for themselves run. Sudden energy bursts flicking the damn things away at near light speeds. Still in real space and all, but just trying to get the hell away from what they assumed was some Kilrany super weapon.

Argh, much as I hate to do this I am pretty sure I have to drop out. Things back here are catching up with me, so I am unlikely to be able to post for a good long while. Sorry mate:-( I just thought it was better to duck out rather than drag the thread down with me.

Understood, how might I be able to wrap this up? Would the surviving Caldari ships have eventually turned and fought to the death? I ask as I was under the impression the required the larger capitol ship to open up their jump-point for them and I'd like for once to actually be able to call an RP complete, heh.

Well, they would be likely to scatter and run for a *long* time. then slow down and go into cryo sleep for the several decades of travel through the stars, though I was envisioning a lot less survivors than you appear to be, somewhere in the region of 5/10 max. But yeah, chase them down and kill them:-D

Indeed we were, I had envisioned at least twenty, but I hadn't really been sure, thus my rather somewhat open reaction. Five to ten should be easy enough for my forces to break off after, do you mind if I take a little creative liscense to go after and destroy them? Pretty much just to wrap up this aspect of the RP and allow opening for a follow up storyline/RP I have in mind involving the planet now that it's suffered a fair degree of damage.

Mostly what I had in mind were some quick third person shots of witnessing some destruction, perhaps a little chase around some asteroids just for the fun of it. In any case, I merely want the system clear so I can move on, and the Kilrany aren't about to give on their chase, heh. If you'd prefer, I could simply mention clearing out the system without any real details as to how so as not to take any liberties with your forces.

Yeah, knock yourself out:-D I am finally meant to be getting regular internet access back soon, though I am looking at getting a job and all so I might be back on NS in a while, or so I hope.
