OOC: I'm assuming your ship drops in a little after YellowApples stuff, just to make it flow a little better. IC: "Statcom, we have an unknown contact, about 0.3 AU from one of our monitoring probes. We don't have the resolution right now to get a clearer picture, but I'm turning all the closes...
A bit of (yes, yes, I know, it's unsolicited) advice with these sorts of things. Ten or so people on each side make it very likely this sort of thing is going to happen. You have ten different people on each side, which means each person on each side has a ten different people they could possibly ge...
OOC: Going to do an individual post per reply, making it easier to quote and read and whatnot. Rokesby at this point had signed a somewhat punitive security contract with the Magnar Corporation - well, with Longsword Security, one that saw a significantly larger amount of orbital assets placed aroun...
On another subject, since the cuttlefish aliens I asked about a while back don't use soundwaves to communicate, does it humanize them too much to just use the excuse that the humans who discovered them gave a lot of the stuff around them Aztec-sounding names? Given the bizzare fractal nature of the...
"That's quite acceptable. Most secure locations may make it difficult to maintain a link with your courts, however, as they tend to be built with as both Faraday cages and with some rather sophisticated equipment to ensure that faster-than-light transmissions to facilitate espionage are difficu...
"A pleasure, David. As representative of the New Tulsa Colonial Authority, we of course always hope for peace. New Tulsa maintains a strict policy of neutrality - if others do not seek to attack us, we of course do not desire to attack them." Qneg shook the robot's hand, and gestured towar...
For alien life to contact New Tulsa was not particularly rare. Traders from outside the sector occasionally stopped by, carrying rare materials and data products. Mostly the Magnar Corporation preferred to bring all important purchases in with an in-house ship, for the same reason they preferred to ...
Notes: A map of the Havmar Sector http://i.imgur.com/nAvG0rf.png?1 The four sovereign powers in the Havmar Sector are as follows: Pink - Kingdom of Harris. Led by the Harris Dynasty for the last hundred and twenty-six years. Fairly weak monarchy that took De Blakwell and New Tulsa from the New Knigh...
(OOC: Obviously open in a reasonable sense. The appropriate response to some minor powers being suborned by a major corporation isn't a doomfleet.) - - - - - - - - - "...synergy, ladies and gentlemen. That's what we're about. Why should the fine people of the Harris Kingdom have to dedicate alm...
Name: James Mkalo Race: Human Picture and/or physical description: A little short for a boy of thirteen, with curly black hair and coal-black skin. His pupils are a light blue, possibly due to genetic modification. Due to being of Monolith descent, his family were adapted for the possibility of colo...
Nations fall . Cen Skyzrie's first thought as he heard the news. He had made no real show of hiding his preference for states such as Rome, after all, as an Immortal he was unlikely to ever rise above his post as Governor of Old Talyth. With the Talythians spread across the Vipran Imperium like so ...
Not outlawed ; just licenced, and it's for the very reason you and Sen have pointed out - you don't want just anyone flying around space with potential weapons of mass destruction. To be fair, any ship capable of travelling at a decent clip of lightspeed is a potential weapon of mass destruction. I...
This is a repost from a thread I made giving advice on FTLi before there was an Advice Thread. - - - - Okay, so it's come to my attention that FT doesn't really have the same level of documentation that MT does. Every few weeks there's a new thread asking for advice - not because our new FTers are l...
Okay, so because the "Which is better/faster/more damaging/accurate?" debate tends to come up so often here regarding lasers, missiles and kinetic weapons, I made this handy chart for quick reference. It's not meant to be the be all and end all of discussion but I think it at least gives ...

The only reason we have real trouble with incoming boats is because, to be quite frank, we're not evil. We're at peace, and the people coming in are usually refugees. More importantly, if they land in Australia we feed and clothe them, we don't line them up against a wall and shoot them. The reason ...
One has to wonder why the Talythians lost the war against the Vipran Imperium so easily. They had one of the most powerful military forces in the quadrant, and were a first-rank military power in galactic terms. When the Vipran Imperium invaded, the Talythian Realm was at the very height of its mil...
IC Name of Nation - The Treaty of Alliance Concerning the Free Worlds of the Ariete Sector Commonly shortened to 'the Free Worlds'. Type of Technology - High-tech, but along the lines of Honor Harrington or Drake's RCN Series - a severe World of Sail feel to the technology at hand. While technology...
Ariel and Marek had fallen all too quickly, similar terms to them being dictated to the ones at Arkenhas. It was on Maenali that the first sign of proper resistance came. The Maenal Republics consisted of four of those thirty-six worlds in two of the thirteen systems. The Republics had a fleet of ov...
Two days ago, the fleet had arrived. Smooth, milky-white ships with no flaws to be seen, no openings or turrets that hinted at their existence as warships. They had simply hung there for the first day, not moving, almost as if they were mere illusions that would have evaporated like a mirage if they...
