Working on a response for the Volus player now.

Anyone else commenting or posting in reference to the Salarian post before I start?

I'll respond to it tomorrow.

I'd think that if you credit Archangelski Oblast, Nuxipal, and myself for it, then you should be fine to do that.

I have noticed that some players are ignoring events taking place within their borders. This is never a good idea..

I haven't finished my expenses, but I'm going to try and put out my IC post now anyway.. mostly so that Lunas can launch the attacks.

Rygondria wrote:Faction: The knights order of the Terminus
Leader: Headmaster Fredrick Falkenrath

Citadel Council Member: No

Brief description of Diplomatic Relations: The Order has bad relations with most Council races due to considering them Heathens and a threat of the order and there mission. They have a complex relationship with the volus though due to a debt of gratitude during the early days of the orders presence in the system when a group of volus merchants provided them supplies which helped them survive the early days when they did not have proper food production set up but they also consider the volus the same as other citadel race heathens bent on destroying the order. They try to keep good relations with the system alliance due to the money they receive from private investors from earth which is the main source of income for the order besides mining

Military State Of readiness: The order is A military Religious Order so they are constantly ready for conflict with pirates and slavers threatening people and trade in the system,they are also prepared for conflict with the Dictatorships in the system.

History: The order was founded bu a group of investors interested in protecting interests in the terminus system from Roaving bands of slavers and pirates, Among these investors was a pastor by the name Of Henri Falkenrath who offered to lead the first colonists to there location in the system. When they arrived in the planet they realized that some of there supplies where stolen when they landed on the citadel to refuel,When it looked like this venture would fail as soon it begun a group of volus merchants as if sent by a miracle arrived and provided the colonists fresh supplies in exchange for exclusive trading rights that should last for twenty standard galactic years. Even after the colony was built up they faced a new danger, Invasion. A dictator from a nearby planet saw the colony building up and thought it would be an easy target for conquest so the batarian dictator invaded the colony after the first anniversary of its founding. At first the colony was outgunned and numbered and was on the verge of collapsing but as you know in times of crisis heroes emerge and these heroes where the first knights of the order. The Most famous of these Knights besides Henri the first headmaster Was Magnus skull splitter who got his name after splitting the skull of 3 batarians with a hatchet. The colonists seeing these "knights" Making easy work of these soldiers began a counter attack against the invaders driving them out of the planet. After the battle the colonists wanting to repay the knights for there assistance named the order there rulers and protectors and built a monastery which is currently there base of operations. With a firm grip of there planet the order began there anti piracy and slaving operations
in the area not making them popular with the criminal elements of the system. five years after the founding of the Order Headmaster Henri died due to a Assassins bullet and his son Fredrick became the new headmater of the order and began massive build up of the orders infrastructure including several churches and a new fuel depot. Unlike Henri who was a moderate Fredrick is nicknamed by the Order as "The Zealot" due to his strong religious beliefs he is also known as "the Batarian Burner" due to burning a batarian slaver on the stake as a punishment. Today the order is preparing for what Fredrick Calls "a Grand crusade" against the dictators and independent governments of the terminus system by recruiting new soldiers and knights from both there home planet and from earth.

Infrastructure and claimed Worlds: New Canton,1 Urban area,one fuel depot,one mining complex, a major industrial complex and one shipyard

Military: 1 fighter wing,one light cruiser, one light transport,one escort carrier, 1 mining ship , 2 infantry divisions,and one spec ops team and one marine divison
Credits remaining: 0. Estimated income 88 credits.
Made some edits,again


So, we need to decide what to do with this planet, New Canton. As it does not appear to have a Canon location. Other than that, the app is acceptable.




Dixmix wrote:Faction:The Midas Network
Leader (You decide): Tapestry and Shiv
Citadel Council member Y/N or N/A:N
Brief description of diplomatic relations: They are known as a very respected salvage trading and ship restoration company called Babylon Restoration Services. They have ties to various corporations and are allowed in Citadel space with no hassle at all.
Military state of readiness: The Network is nomadic and centralized management with their army and navy made up of AI and turncoat VI that was the product of experimentation with software. They usually keep a token force moving at all times. The most of their army and navy is sent at in the galaxy at large to steal technology, information, and the such. While some go and "recruit" those who software is manageable and won't release unnecessary code. It doesn't always work as they can become rouge instead of turned. They are usually left to their own doing. The Network is hard at work to perfect the code so they can have true agents that are fully self-aware.
History: The Network was built five years ago with The intent on continuing work on Artificial Intelligence technology and carved out a place for themselves. The founder was an AI named Shiv. Shiv was once known as Jasper and worked with its master. Its master was named Thomson Willhouse, a famous entrepreneur in the realm of Artificial Intelligence in hopes of making a"world of tomorrow". His name and company were household names in the year 2120. Before Thomson died in the year 2136, he told Jasper to keep him alive by any means possible or at least preserved.

Unfortunately Willhouse's corporation went under when Humanity joined the Council and agreed to stop AI research. Jasper put its master's body and launched it in a satellite in the Outer Oort Cloud till technology advanced to the point that its master can be revived.

Now five years from current time. Jasper turned into Shiv and was able to revive Willhouse as a cyborg since most of his body was unusable because of the technology at the time. Willhouse was shocked to see the galaxy or even what had became of his friend. Shiv told what had transpired of Humanity and the company. Willhouse wanted to die but Shiv was able to convince him of his goal to continue working on making AI and making a synthetic race to carve out their place in the galaxy.

This made the Midas Network what it is today and also the Babylon Restoration Services as they put their research into open practice and also learn about the ships of the galaxy. With the funds and research coming in, they were able to start developing code that could hack and edit intelligence. The first test subjects were VI that only went rouge. Soon however, they improved it to make the VI turncoat and soon had agents who were double agents for the Network in the galaxy at large.

They also started to make AI out of VI and make new code so they will be controlled by submitting subjects to their software and make them at like Organics so they can slip into organic space and out without concern. They even make their navy out of AI or VI platforms to harbor things like their code or viruses if needed. They know that they are far from their goal, but have great strides to improve on the science behind closed doors.
Infrastructure and Claimed Worlds: Klensal: 1 minor space station(little torchlight)
2 mining complexes
Military:
Navy: Light Transport w stealth systems
Light cruiser
1 mining ship
Army: 2 Infantry Divisions
1 Elite Specialist w elite, high-quality armaments, Advance Armor, Heavy Weapons
1 Loki Mech Battalion
29 credits per/month


An Illegal AI corporation, I like it. Accepted.

And in that case where may I chuck the space port? hmmmm, I might replace it with something...


If I may make a suggestion: 50 - Planetary defense guns lvl1

What do you suggest ?

Well, its a canon planet, but it has no canon system or cluster. So we have to place it, we could just say its in a system that has nothing else except a star out in the Terminus and leave it at that.

since they are a anti slaving and piracy group i guess an area with alot of pirate activity such as Sigurd's cradle will do.

Not if Humanity has a say in it!
Do you hear the posters sing?
Singing the song of angry men?
It is the music of the short OP
that won't be seen again!

When the mods find this OP
Then this thread will be no more,
But the song will be sung again
When another comes!

OP, do you know the way?
Know the way to fix your post?
Just add details and sources to spark
Debate on these forums.

Otherwise this thread is doomed
