Planet Grab (FT, OOC Thread, CLOSED)

[Lotrabme]

Here is the OOC thread for the Planet Grab RP.

Here is the Link to the IC: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=306213

Here are the rules:
1: Do not Godmod or spam, ie: no impossibly huge invasion fleets or claiming how many ships are destroyed for other people, nor claiming all the planets are yours immediately without fighting and RPing for such a goal fairly.

2: Claim only 1 planet or moon at a time. For the asteroid belts you may claim a single asteroid or dwarf planet. If you intend to take more make it part of the RP rather than just saying you have it.

3: Fill out an app before jumping, I won't allow you in unless you do. Post your applications and questions in the OOC and RP in the IC.

4: War or peace are acceptable, its up to you!

5: Have fun!

[Lotrabme]

Accepted, and be warned though you may know that this will bring you into contact and possible conflict with the republic.

[-The Republic of Arcadia-]

Yes, you almost certainly will.

Also, over 1,600 ships (excluding fighters!!!)... did you miss the bit where it was said not to have stupidly large fleets?

[Lotrabme]

Good point, please expound upon the nature of the fleet in question that contains 1600 vessels.

I brought one starbase, 6 Battlecruisers, 12 Trade vessels, and 150 frigate/corvettes.

Your fleet does dwarf both of ours, and unless your bringing a massive merchant marine or have a good explanation I think a recount might be in order.

[Senkaku]

Interested, but it'll be a few hours before I can do anything (traveling).

Additional Characters (optional): there'll be a few, but I just want to submit this before I leave, so I won't fill them in yet.

Ohh, lol. You just meant in-system. That was the number for the entire Seran Navy.

Okay, in system would probably only be a hundred ships, if that. I'll get a comprehensive list up if you want one.

[The United Remnants of America]

Fleet(Updated for In-system):

Nemesis-Class Fighters: 200
Alke-Class Landers: 200
Elpis-Class Frigates: 22
Phrike-Class EWar Ships: 2
Sophrosyne-Class Interceptors: 2
Thanatos-Class Destroyers: 4
Tyche-Class Cruisers: 12
Nomos-Class Logistics Cruisers: 1
Arke-Class Mobile Command Centers: 3
Enyo-Class Warbarges: 2
Dysnomia-Class Interdictors: 1
Bia-Class Battlecruisers: 4
Alala-Class Command Ships: 1
Metis-Class Freighters: 4
Atlas-Class Exhumers: 2
Kratos-Class Battleships: 2
Eos-Class Carriers: 1

Total Navy Ships: 463
Total Non-Ground-based Ships: 460(MCCs are planetary command ships)
Total Ships Not-Needing Carrier Support: 63(Minus Landers and Fighters)

EDIT Note: This means there will be 60 ships together, as the Landers and Figthers are tucked safely in the Carrier. The MCCs will go directly to the ground. The Warbarges will take up orbit around the terran and will be immobile from that point, basically becoming temporary stations until their mission is complete. The remaining 58 ships will do as ships do: military ships set up perimeters while the freighters carry supplies and the Exhumers search for space-based mining locations.

Note: Dropships do not count as Navy ships and are fit into the Marines. They are approximately equivalent to a Lander, though they are not space-able and cannot carry vehicles into battle.

[The Remnants of Kobol]

Here is the application:
Nation Name: The Remnants of Kobol
RP Nation Name: Above
Commanding Officer Name: Rear Admiral Sophia Fraya
Major Races (or Races that would appear here): Colonial (Human with Cylon DNA)
Size of Fleet: Battlestar Group 5 (Two Mercury class Battlestars, One Jupiter Class Battlestars, three Odin Class Battlestars, seven Berserker Class Gunstars, two Orion Class "Pocket" Battelstars (one designed as an ECW ship, necessary support craft and fighter/bomber complements). We have twelve Battlestar Groups total, all of similar composition.
Desired Planet/Moon: None. We're here to scan and mine should we find the right materials, study lifeforms, take samples, meet new cultures, and advance our knowledge of the universe. We will likely use Cygni F as our Base of Operations though. The dense atmosphere will be very useful in masking our jump signatures and keeping our Battlestar Group off of anyone's DRADIS/Radar/Scans

The Remnants of Kobol is investigating this system not for colonization, but for mining, exploration, and, should intelligent life exist, trade. We will avoid conflict unless directly provoked. Our language is similar to Earth Latin, but we have translator software that can adapt in a matter of minutes to form around an entire language should we have access to any literature.

I'd like that. Thus far, I haven't managed to do an RP without killing people. Even my diplomatic mission to a new nation we had just met ended with orbital strikes on their capital (they decided to assassinate my delegate. Something about being an enemy of one of their allies)...

But seriously, I'm just here to advance science and knowledge of the universe. I'd be happy to share information with any nation we encounter. And if I make allies, that's wonderful!

We're here to take that terran world and build a colony and maybe set up a mining station down the road.

Our SOP is that the Navy always sets up a colony before civilians go in, so that's what's happening here.

We don't need information, but I'm sure we could help with mining and supplies, as we'll need to construct warp gates to our other systems so that we can travel without wasting time in cryo-stasis.

[Lotrabme]

Fleet(Updated for In-system):

Okay, thanks for the update! Accepted, but remember, the republic is already present on Cygni d, so don't just wade on in, you will have to deal with them.

Here is the application:

Accepted, though be warned, Senkaku has claim to Cygni f and its moons already, however if you are simply arriving and are going to be orbiting it this presents less of a problem. Neither you nor Senkaku have arrived in system yet though.

If either of you are open to peace talks the Mind Empire starbase is nearby and Admiral Baylock can be contacted for treaties.

Something tells me you guys would be fascinated by our jump drives...

I just plan on hiding my ships in the ionosphere. I never fire unless fired upon or it I am in declared war with the vessel's nations. So I don't see much more than an awkward first encounter assuming Senkaku doesn't just show up shooting everything that moves.

Maybe we can make a deal and split the planet, I'll be posting soon, either way.
