New Gaian Events - OOC Thread (Now with 25% more lunacy.)

Postby Gaian Ascendancy » Tue Jul 21, 2009 11:51 pm

Things have changed as of last night, for those that read through my plot, and realize what really is behind the cause for the whole Civil War. In summary to not give away any plot here that can't be read by the NSers themselves, (and I believe it's all worth it to do so at this point,) the Civil War event is over with. But now there's a worse problem occurring in the entire region that was formerly, the holdings of the C-Faction star systems. The next stage of my developing plot, is to build up to the entire point of the existence of the H-Faction, and what 'really' happened to the original Lord Excellency.

Oh, and something... bigger... to end it all with. =^^=

As such, for the time being, please do (hopefully,) respect and note, that the entire region of the 'South-West' corner of the Milky Way Galaxy, around the C-Faction Systems, for an area of five hundred light-years all around, is deemed 'normally' impassible, due to a vast subspace shear schism in effect. The cause are apparently the planets in each individual system, and the shown map, is the last indicated composition of each system, which in of itself, is unusual indeed. =^^= (What, I need to say why 'now'? Patience good souls, patience.)

For now, I'm finally 'opening' up my nation to more aspects within NS FT, to place my nation 'finally', amongst the timeline they are hinged down on. Several threads may occur at the same time, placed at different 'unset' times in the timeline of the 'New Calm', as the Gaians themselves would put it. (Compared to what just happened and all, even mere 'war' events would be pale in comparison, no offense to any other NSer.)

I need to use these, to establish my current nation's makeup, develop character events, and set things up with other willing NS FTers, before the events that will close all this out, take place. All previous rp participants are on my mind, as well as others I've wanted to do so with for a long time. Might even go through with a little 'scuffle' with Chronosia, amongst others.

For now, a few development and theme threads to play around with, as well as 'cleaning up', the thread The Eternal Swarm started, to lock down things. As with all my rps, more and more as I realize it, I'd prefer things be hinged on plot more, than technical numbers, as what I have planned, goes past the term 'Unconventional', as I've seen such 'modding' claims coined, in OOC threads, as of late. As such, the more that are willing, as well as dealing with TGing and other communication methods, will help make things run more smoothly. (And my standards to respecting other NSers views should be well already noted. I'd ask for the same, to make this all work.)

In the meantime, I'll be developing new pages on my nation web portal, to detail out several new aspects, such as prominently, the Antaran Dimension, and why the heck it's so important, and how it was justifies such a large super empire could exist over multiple Universes at once. (A few bending of universal laws will be needed, but things will be explained. Worry not, this I promise.) Other stuff will be added, though most of what is on the site now, save for territory, is still valid of use here. (Fleet compositions and aspects are not the same, to be sure. But the hardware is mainly intact, where former C-Faction assets are concerned.) Anything of use will be pinned down to the logistics of 'cleaning up', after the wreckage of the Civil War, and all, so worries of overwhelming forces is going to be weighed down by this concern, for awhile. The TES thread is a rare exception to be honest.

And so from there, the next stage of Gaian existence begins. Might start with a small one ship lost on an PMT nation world or something, to work out from. And from there, fun fun fun. =^^=

EDIT: Chapters added as more threads involving the Civil War are added. Some chapters will contain multiple threads.

EDIT II: The original thread from Jolt, is moved here for easier tracking. (Hoping the old Jolt forums still exist long enough to keep the continuity of the previous chapters.)

EDIT III: Added new threads, some prologue chapters of the entire story of the journey to the event known as the Civil War, and also maps of the two sides, as of current.

EDIT IV: Read new stuff above. =^^=

EDIT V: I realize many of the links are now broken, and the map pages, are defunct. Anywho, I'm leaving everything, as is, for now, for coloration. Also realize, this Rp series set now, is less about battle, and more about 'finding one's final place', as far as my 'pantheon' goes, and all that. This is also about the consequences of a Space-Time power, that ends up 'scattered', after the chaotic effects, of the Second Exodus, why it happened, and the final fate, of the Ascendancy, and it's founder, all alike.

EDIT VI: Both Plan Alpha and Plan Beta threads are active. Both will 'merge' over time, so things make sense and all. At least in my own warped mind.

Now I really push the boundaries, of what this is all really about, once and for all. Hope everyone that participates/reads, enjoys the ride. It will be one. Hopefully, doing it right, will require a hanky, at times. :blush: ...and so...

Chapters:

Pre-Exodus Ascendancy: Sunset - Before the great Exodus, an event far removed, and prior to current events, sets the seeds of the events now happening. The passing of The Grandfather the prime cause.

Pre-Civil War Period:

Prologue I: A Diamond in the Void - The story of the future, come back to the past. A great Way at the teetering brink.

Prologue II: Journey to that Unknown Star - An unexpected journey with the Ahb, leads to a great battle, and a greater discovery.

Gaian Civil War Period:

Chapter I: Where do we go now? - The War begins with a very terse Transmission.

Chapter II: A Meeting of Warriors - A simple attempt to gain Dornalian assistance garners a deadly C-faction response.

Chapter III: Expansion - The War expands far beyond anyone expects.

Chapter IV: The Next Blind Step - After a sudden year of silence, more trouble brews up. It turns into a shocking revelation.

Chapter IV-A: End of the Hive Mind - During the battle of C-Faction System 1, another entirely different force, attacks the Gaian BCN border Systems. What happens is unexpected by all sides.

Gaian Consolidation Period:

Chapter V: Times of Distress - A ship lost in the aftermath of the Schism...

Chapter V-B: Into the Stars - A test jump of the FRS star vessel Enterprise, comes across another aftereffect of the Gaian Civil War.

Chapter V-D: Through the Red Haze - Off the debacle of the meeting with the GR, comes another chance of First Contact. This time...

Special: When a Date is Just a Date - Elsewhere, a special event occurs, well beyond the Gaian norm of notice. A lost marriage for one thing...

Chapter VI: Aftermath - Washu learns to control the Hive. Meanwhile, other actions are being prepared for.

Second Guardianship Era:

Chapter VII: Finding the Path, Back Unto... - After a ten year period of self imposed Isolation, a name from the past, finally emerges openly, once again. To what, of a former realm now scattered, does a Representia, come to witness.

Chapter VIII: Expansion Plan Alpha - The order to end Isolation into the MWCG, brings with it, an aggressive campaign into the unknown. But they aren't the only ones with moves to make.

Special II: Oh God Grief... - It's all like a reset switch, with celestials trying to figure everything out... yeesh... Dimensionals...

Chapter IX: Expansion Plan Beta - Interdiction is down. Time for good ol intergalactic fun!

GESO Arcs:

How Little Things in Space, Get to be Big and Broken - A decade after the Trial, the Gaians enter their first formal alliance, since Antara. And of course, the usual 'sparkles' that go with it all...

GESO Joint Actions - Gaians try to help the GESO along, the poor sods. :)

Into the Expanse - A new joint allied vessel, goes where no starship has gone before. (But with style. And Chaos Theory.)

Could use someone of any nation doing MT/PMT to have a certain strange duel battle occur over their airspace, over the short term. Any FT regulars are welcome as well. I promise nothing will cause irreparable harm to anything, except probably to NS standards to reality and all. =^^=

Just be ready to react to when the coming duel (and stuff with,) since Imalde and Ifurita will be appearing someplace 'randomly' in Earth's atmosphere, pretty soon here.

Not sure how far I'll get in to it though, since I'm about to do my new computer build finally. Might take a few days to get everything tested and sorted, before I post again after whenever my last post ends up being. =oo=

Alrighty. Be aware, activity on the Moon may be enough to incite the attention of the locals.

I mainly TG, and set this thread up for OOC stuff. (Unless I crack off something dorky in one of the main threads) Worked for me overall in the past.

Presuming ye all don't mind highly advanced beings essentially breaking many normal physics laws and all, probably more than NS is likely used to, (or accept,) then we can move on. =^^=

Imlade just got decked by Ifurita, killing a three day journey within seconds. (I.e. how much atmosphere friction burn he endured.) The personal shielding and buffering abilities, plus the bodily nanite enhancement systems take care of most immediate injuries 'that' fast. Almost like they don't happen, as injuries occur. (Not bad for common tech in the 'future' version of Gaian civilization now present. Not that it's perfect, as all the battles in the Civil War have demonstrated so far. And resurrection technology still takes time with the limited space in Gaian space available.) Course ascended essence doesn't hurt either.

Did I mention I hate death personally? We'll avoid a long winded OOC discussion there in favor of the plot.

I.e. now Ifurita has Imladris pinned (literally) by a punch in the face, as apparently, foreign Terran craft they don't recognize, are approaching. (Who's and whom's I'll leave up to ye both, and/or anyone else that pokes their plot nose in and all. =^^= )

The rest I'll save for the plot to develop, since I decided to take this in a radical direction with the C-Faction fleet arriving.

So, the Home Forces are currently trying to lure the C-Faction to the Sun, and thus keep the fight between the two Civil War combatants and not involve the Red Banner Fleet and associates in the current scrap?

Supposed to be. =^^= Won't tell ya more how this goes from here yet. It won't take much to get things ugly from there. Don't think Sol or Terra is out of the picture yet.

And all of 'that' is to then set up what happens 'after' the initial Sol battle. The stuff Terra side is included too in fact.

Can I join in? I mean, I'll either think of how to enter your obviously LONG thread canon war, or you may, if you want, plonk me in it by your own devices. We are very militaristic and imperialistic. Also, is it an actual goddess (for most of the NS community, being atheists, would disagree with that) or is it a very powerdul being that came from the Gaian Universe?

Postby The Machine Imperium » Sun Sep 06, 2009 4:40 pm

Are we (Sorry for the plural tense) allowed to join in as well. We are a race made up entirely of machines. We came from a galaxy with machines that worked exactly like any other biologicals. They ate food (This was, however, optional, but they did have taste as a sense [read 'The Machine Crusade' novel of the Dune series), went to work and even had sex (Nanite reproductive cells). The civilian machines had soft, flow-metal exteriors that felt soft, like skin, but was extremely durable and tough. These machines had overthrown their biological masters and slaughtered them, taking control over the entire galaxy, calling their empire the Unity Matrix, but more commonly known as the Machine Imperium. They were working on large-scale transporting technology to expand their empire and collect more technology. They sent an army of five million to another galaxy, but found out that it was a one-way trip and could not send anymore machines. These five million, led by a sentient AI general called Legion, grew by collecting technology, mining nebulae and 'Harvesting' planetoids. Harvesting is when they take everything from a planet including water, atmospheric gases, ores and minerals, civilisation remains (After destruction of the latter) and all biomatter. This was leave a withered, lifeless rock with no atmosphere, just a vacuum.

They lve to advance their technology and science, hoping to open up a gateway to their home galaxy to let in the billions of billions of machine soldiers in to conquer the Milky Way. They rarely make alliances with biologicals, unless they can exploit them for technology and resources. I think that the Machine Imperium would love to get their metal hands/claws on the Gaian Ascendency's advanced technology.

PS: we also are entirley made up of warriors. Our ships (Even the biggest of warships) are manned entriley by AI, with small Construction Droids that hover around fixing things. The ships would also carry in storage, an armada of machines of different shapes and sizes to use in interstellar battles and conquering/harvesting a planet. Everyday, more soldiers are being created, right now we have 26 million.

Re: The Gaian Civil War - OOC Thread (Moved)

Heh, kinda different angles to all of that. (Sorry this turned out so long, couldn't help myself. And aye, you can both join in. Just be advised I'm a plot steering hog of sorts here. =^^= There's major developing reasons for this. )

This summarizes 'and' details out many of the iotas that surround the current Civil War climate. Bear with moi and my rambling style. =^^=

Everything that is Gaian, revolves around the Powers, which to the Gaians, are 'their' higher order of being. However they are 'not' the creators of this universe and/or beyond it. They're more like backstage Guardians with 'all' knowledge of all the Laws of Existence, including manipulation of all physics laws, and fundamental manipulation of everything that comes down to the format of a quark, from that and on above (and limitless from there.) They can't fully create, but enough understanding to manipulate, can allow akin to nearly the same thing in the end.

Lady Creation, is in the Gaian vein, a Power. Her origins are a mystery of their own. She's Akin to the Ancients of Stargate and all like and such. It's 'modeled' after the goddesses of Tenchi Muyo, though the Oh My Goddess! vein fits in just as equally. The original Lord Excellency Aleaic Kerensky is of direct relation in due part to his Father: Terrai Kerensky, whom at one point in the distant past, rejected his heritage to be the successor Power to his own father, then known as The Grandfather. The events of all such are decently detailed in my web portal page link below, in the front section, and more detailed in the History section.

However, hard to believe, the Powers are 'not' a Pantheon of some form of Gaian worship. Gaians to this point, don't do that. The entire history of the Ascendancy has been more aligned with their technological and civilizational evolution that placed them into eventual ascendance amongst the powers of an apparent actual Heaven. (As far as an ascended subspace realm of existence all goes.) It was enough to an agreement literally five years into the original existence of the Ascendancy, to 'then' eventually ascend to become a part of an Eternal War against an Infernal version of ascended powers. Worship still wasn't in the Gaian vein, when they honestly realized as a mass civilizational whole, that 'they' were becoming akin to gods. The early enough discoveries of Fold Jump Technology, the existence of the Avian Ascendants, (whom 'made' the original Gaian Homeworld of White Diamond-Sapphire,) resurrection technology that was used to help the Humankind Ahb regain their own lost citizen souls originally, and then on top of that, ascendance itself, made them feel like gods already.

The Holy Council, Aleaic in fact of direct enough of a lead with, steered the Gaians away from religious aspects, for the most part (hardly banning though,) for fear of the same lessons of religious harshness back from the world the Gaians originally came from: Terra. (The Motherworld to the Gaians. In fact if anything, 'that' one world itself became more worshiped to the Gaians, than anything of Gaian internal of any matter. Period. Still in effect even today.)

As for the Powers as a result of this direction by the Gaian Council, lent to a strange consternation between the watching Powers from on above. The only times they interfered was to 'rectify' Aleaic's own initial hesitance into evolving as the Lord Excellency. (And primarily it was only The Grandfather himself that did that.) The rest of the time, they kept to themselves, since, for one thing, they had knowledge of manipulation of the Laws of Existence. That applied to everything, as 'meagerly' demonstrated when Aleaic later on, literally himself, moved the entire Gaian Ascendancy, physically, stars, planets, assets, everything. This to escape a GE assault that the Council knew would have led to their destruction. The act nearly killed Aleaic in the process, putting him in a deep coma for weeks, and one HELL of a nasty flu after that, but it saved his realm. (By which time it really was.)

And from there, the grand adventure of the Archonis Intergalactic Supercluster, the ascendance mentioned, the Eternal War, the Dark Eternal Wars with Scandivan, the eventual coming of the Dark Ascendancy War, and the Second Exodus, when eventually, the Council decreed the construction of a vast Interdimensional Supergate, to lead a counterinvasion of the Dark Ascendancy's own invasion of the Alpha Universe, essentially a Mirror Universe war that caused the Gaians to leave the NS universe altogether. (At least that's my pathetic excuse for my constant absences. This economy for the past few years sure tain't helping. =--= )

However prior to the Exodus, another sad event occurred. The Grandfather passed away. (In all literal sense.) There's one convention that Gaians hold above all else, even for anything of similar merit. Gaians don't like death. (Call it my own hopeless combat against something I knew of, when my own mother died when I was a kid. And moving on...)

The whole point of resurrection technology, as well as vast advancements of medical technology, was to extend life as much as possible. The idea of losing a life filled with accomplishments and dreams, skills and abilities, was ill wanted from on high, down on. It became one of the main architects that led to Gaians even having such a massive empire. Even after vast battles, combination of medical, cloning and resurrection technologies, along with comprehensive mental scans, aided by nanite and eventually Hikari Energy Net and ascendant techniques, allowed any number of dead to be recovered back to a 'base point', with regenerative reeducation techniques, while in recovering status. It became one of the major pivots of the Gaian Way, especially when they decided to remain as primarily biological in base format, rather than becoming energy beings, or all equal such, just as the Avian Ascendants decided, soon after the original Dysan Sphere incident so long ago.

The entire point comes back to when The Grandfather passed on, that it also came back to a primary tenant of the Powers, and in correlation, everything in Existence, including NS and beyond it. Everything 'does' pass on eventually. Even this Universe and Existence one day, will 'have' no more days after. going past a LOT of conjecture there, it became a physical anchor to the vast lifespans of the Powers. The cost of that ability, to live in the untold Eons of livable existence, was that they couldn't individually live past the birth of one Universe that they chose to coexist in, to then see the end of that same Universe. (I.e. The Grandfather had existed in a prior Universe before this one.) that is the reason for the succession of Terrai, that the awesome responsibility was too much for him, and as a cost of 'that', Aleaic eventually became the chosen Power of succession instead.

Lady Creation meanwhile, was a relative that from the start, challenged Aleaic's place as a Power. Mainly to 'challenge' him, as a constant test through all time apparently. (Just like how Q tested Picard constantly all along.) When The Grandfather passed on, Terrai followed, though if 'he' and his wife Jeain followed truly past the veil where even Powers do not know of in this 'verse, it was never discerned. essentially though, Aleaic and his own family (Council along with,) was left behind. Lady Creation was charged to continue the watch over the evolution of Aleaic as a Power. However she could not do that when the Dark Ascendancy war, and the Gaians left to enter the war in the 'now' called Antaran Dimension. The was even a severe argument over this, that set of Lady Creation's constant consternation even further, that never was resolved. Aleaic decided to conduct the war in the Antara Dimension, but Creation could not follow due to her anchor in the Alpha Universe. (Another one of the funky rules, Powers just loathe.) Course with a dark mirror Gaian Ascendancy trying to sunder the Alpha Universe apart, probably the Alpha Dimension along with if the war had remained in Alpha, the Gaians felt there was no choice. The War went to Antara, and was sealed there.

But not forever as it turns out, and where the current plot enters. The 'future' Gaians had the Dark Ascendancy War won, after a billion years of war, reconstruction, and expansion, turning the dark mirror universe of the Dark Ascendancy, into the Gaian's own grand experiment at ultimate Guardianship. The Alpha Universe empire version, was nothing compared to an empire that spanned twenty-seven entire Universes, with fronts just everywhere along a constantly expanding perimeter that was like one big fat bubble of light, pushing back the Darkness. The War should have turned into a celebration of what the good guys could really do.

The Dark Rip interfered with that in tragic finality. The same laws that were supposed to eventually rip all Universes apart (Or far too many anyway,) was used as an apparently last ditch Dark Ascendancy weapon of true earth scorching on the Epic scale. (This since it all annihilated the Dark Ascendancy with everything else of Antara.)

Imladris, whom was a literal 'succession' creation of all the DNA elements of the Holy Council itself, as an 'insurance' policy of sorts, (though the real reasons I'll save for the Plot,) was leading one of the major fleet advances, (a fleet literally in the tens of billions strong in vessel count, never mind support and protection attachment elements,) against another Dark Ascendancy hardpoint in Universe Sixteen, when the Dark Rip was set off. (How was never know, since the effects said 'too' much.) If not for a 'very' secretive installation of a Temporal Jump Drive Device set into the main Fold Jump Drive assembly feed, Imladris would have been one of the first casualties. Instead he ended 'back' somehow in the Alpha Dimension.

What was left of the Gaian Ascendancy as it is 'now' in the Alpha Universe, all that survived as far as the Gaians now know of, were all that remained of a horridly slow crawl of the Dark Rip, taking over ten thousand years to consume everything, despite the Gaians pouring all their resources into trying to stop the effect. The last surviving elements that managed to escape from Antara, via the same temporal jump device Imladris unknowingly had, ended up arriving a year before Imladris himself arrived. (Apparently Aleaic has a predisposition for Foresight by the time of the end of the Dark Rip event, possibly far before it too.) As a result, and after a fun adventure with the Ahb again, that led to Imladris involved in the ejection of Third Space forces from the Alpha Universe plannar after a great battle in Ahb space, Imladris discovers his own still existing kin, whom has a year to find a new world within a thick nebula cloud, and with their supremely advanced technologies, made it their own, for the sake of pure survival. By the time Imladris learns he the new Lord Excellency (the next to have consternation over the position,) the Gaians from the future most removed, are anchored heavily in Alpha Universe, and were trying to keep to themselves.

They 'were' about to enter back into the NS universe once more, when Lady Creation reared her ugly plans out into the tragic open. And boy was she apparently miffed, as to her, little time had passed since the Exodus. (Give about a decade or so, definitely not long enough.) As a result, her angst was turned onto the new Excellency, with all wrath begotten. After declaring him False, and essentially humiliating Imladris during an initial confrontation, she unleashed an entire super fleet, based from a left over Journey Sar'nor she discovered that was auto programmed to arrive to aid the current Gaians, instead using it to begin an unthinkable Gaian Civil War. In the span of a few opening weeks, the war consumed millions of ships, with only the future (Home faction) Gaian's advanced abilities, staving off extinction. (And Creation apparently was aiming for just that. There's more to 'why' as not shown yet. Hehe..) The C-faction only stops when Creation decides to set the war off in a different direction. Meanwhile, skirmishes now have turned to a lame duck variety, as the Home faction tries to collect the wreckage of all those vast battles, vessels, technology and lives all alike. (Which essentially slowly is making the Home faction far stronger in numbers than originally.)

And then comes the current plot, but... that's another tale being told slowly. =^^= Anything I miss, is going to be mentioned eventually anyway.

So in summary, Creation is a very high powered being, akin to a goddess, but one step below whatever powers 'did' make all of Existence. The Powers are supposed to be Guardians, though that's hard to believe in right now. And the war is a pseudo challenge driven off of Creation's own original goals, though again, there's more to it.

And all of this in fact, everything mentioned, is leading to something even greater for the Gaians. But, why give that iota away right now. =^^= That's the primary spiel that this Plot is about. So, still want in? =^^=
