MASS EFFECT FACTIONS (Closed, Rebooting AGAIN)

Grand-scale schemes have a chance of failure. My gambits never involve me throwing everything at my enemy. I only do things when I know they will work.

Besides, it's an entire cluster. Terra Nova is Humanity's star colony. The propaganda value is immense. A fair bit of the Human fleet is stationed there, so I can cripple it in a single blow. It keeps Humanity off my back and gives me some space.

Also, look at the map provided. Then come back and talk to me about scale. This cluster is about as strategically vital as it can get for me.

I'll be keeping that surrender option for the Alliance open. All I want is the Utopia cluster.

It does kind of lock the Alliance off from, well, nearly all of their colonies and place you one jump from Earth and Arctcus Station as well.

Still waiting for someone giving me a chance to get involved. Hard to start up as a commercialized plantery system when everyone is already doing something.

Just fire up a response to my attack. That ought to get you started. I'll spout propagandistic crap at everyone for a while.

Oh, and seeing as the Sons of Sol are both anti-alien and Fascists, I can assume that the Citadel races aren't going to drop in on this one?

I somehow doubt it.

I already have certain arrangements in place, and as for the rest I'm one jump away from the Serpent Nebula too. Couldn't win, of course, but if the Hegemony hit the Citadel it would basically be the end for the Council races as a political entity.

Well I'm not sure the threat you made are aimed towards the Boltzman system. Also if you are Batarian I'm not sure if this is aimed towards me, or not, since Donovan Hock in the game been supplying pirates, Vochars, and Batarians alike with Alliance graded hardware. I suppose I'm just kinda neutral, unless the Alliance squeezes my arm to take action. But again I suppose I could make a revolt against them in the end.

By Goddess, Istan...

It's not a threat. It's a statement. Hostile action begets hostile action, and neutrality begets amity.

I would be happy to do business with Hock Industries.

So it was like a recording, or transmission ? Anyway I don't mind the idea myself, since you know it is already happending in the canon, well maybe not as direct perhaps.

It's all OOC right now, but consider this to be a promise of future IC action. Just send me a QEC message or whatever. I'll be diplomatic to you and the Geth, and do stuff.

So you want me to iniate this in IC, or by PM ? Just wondering, just don't want people to meta, etc.

by **Greater Istanistan** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 2:31 pm

IC, please.

Can't wait to get going!

by **Ralnis** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 2:52 pm

I just came in and saw the Hegemony doing an offensive against the Alliance. Well, time to get the popcorn and watch the action unfold.

Get the space caramel popcorn and watch. (it has pieces of chicken in it)

Nice first post, Russ.

Calling you that because everyone gets shortened, and because Leman Russ tanks rock.

Batarians are going to capture the Utopia System. Incase everyone was wondering its marked as the Exodus Cluster on the map Istan gave us.

Also, in case you were all wondering what he meant when he said it was Humanity's Star colony or what not... that is Eden Prime.

Strategically if the Batarians win this is an Enormous victory for them as they control the gateway relay for their home cluster.

by **Greater Istanistan** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 6:28 pm

Sorry, slightly misspoke. I'm taking all of the Exodus cluster. Eden Prime is a fairly powerful colony, but the real target is Terra Nova, the crown jewel of the Aliance's colonial program. The Alliance naval assets in the area are a major second target. I figure that if I grab that, I'll have Humanity by the balls and will be able to grab a very nice peace.

Even an offensive is a victory in and of itself, but a successful one will be deeply powerful.

by **Great Empire of Gamilus** » Wed Jul 02, 2014 6:30 pm

Just woke up... read this... you smart mother fcker.... Now I am going to have to divert the creds I was planning on building crap on Terra Nova.

Still the Alliance has enough units to take it back, I think Admiral Hackett and the Second fleet are in a good position to do it.

edit: also looking at what I have finished from month 1, my 5 light cruisers with Silaris armour are done baking, I have a force that I could at least force a stalemate....

Ok, so Exodus Cluster. Eden Prime's system is the Gateway and then Terra Nova is in the secondary system. I keep the Mass Effect map open in a tab to help me when doing this RP.

BTW, when doing the interactions between Patrick Grady and the Talons should I do that myself or should someone else play as them. It should be a simple exchange of credits for weapons.

Not if I can help it, give me half an hour so I can grab breakfast and have a morning shower then I'll kick ya from ma cluster.
