The Fallen Enemies of Our Destiny (OOC Open)

[Dansha]

How would a flak gun stop a particle beam?

I'm calling them flak guns because I don't know how else to call them. They are more advanced then the BSG ones.

They aren't only firing conventional things, if I can call the like that. It's firing a particle beam first, usually in order to weaken the shield, and only then it fires the conventional thingy. Of course, they're launched almost in the same time, with the particles fist. The Defense batteries are doing the same thing, just with a smaller amount and a higher fire rate.

Good to know. Also how strong are the shields on most Battlestars?

[The Martian Hegemony]

We have a few 'dump planets' if you'd like to enter an alliance. Meet us at 3140 Sol System Lane for a peace conference. Kidding. But seriously, drop by one of our systems and we might have some interesting talks about an alliance... for extra fun, drop by Earth to piss off the SC, who always seems to be watching from a distance. Just wait a little bit, because we're kind of about to see a coup, and you'd much rather talk with the power-hungry House of Tenran than the retreatist Communist Party.

If I catch any alien race in the Sol System, I swear that they will have a crusade only and only for them.

Again, you seem to be content with overlooking the 9 billion there... and the 6 billion on Mars, which is still being terraformed. It turns out that the human terraformers of Mars didn't think to look ahead at the decay rate of their artificial atmosphere... similar to the state of the American mind before the Great Depression, except 'Free money' became 'Free Planet'. I now have to terraform it back fro ma Venus-like hellscape. Thanks a lot! No worries. In a few years, the total Martian population of the Sol System is expected to be beyond 50 billion. You just don't see 1.5 Earth-like planets that often, and we have to take advantage of them (I say 1.5 because Mars wasn't too bad in the condition we found it in).


Really though, if it means the difference between war and peace, we could work out an agreement where we get Mars, the Jovian System, the Saturnian System, and 10% of the Kuiper belt and Oort cloud, and 50% of the Asteroid belt, while you get everything else. You have to remember, Mars, and thus the Sol System, is our ancestral homeland, too.

Ehh... It's complicated.
We have Strangers, which were developed by the Governesses by genetic material found in residue on the walls of a relic from the homeworld. They are sort of like psykers in Warhammer 40k, engineered to basically function as a massive throbbing lump of flesh, brain an odd organs that doubles as an FTL drive which functions similarly to your own. They cost massive amounts of biomass, and due to the fact that not even our engineers can understand how Strangers function we are for the most part unable to create more creatures with their abilities (For now.), and they are poorly assimilated into the hiveminds, with the highest degree of individuality among any Zektan sub-species. There is usually 1 per ship, though large craft require small groups of them. They are amazingly powerful assets, especially since they don't have to be on a ship to transport it, allowing them to attempt to transport men directly to the ground, though we use the word attempt since they sometimes end up half way into the ground.

That's..

So, my FTL drives are basically folding the space between the ship and its target. The Psykers from 40k are using the dimension known as Warp to travel. Which one is it?

FTL one. By Psykers I meant that they are a specialized/mutated sub-species which can warp space.

The Martians are humans, right?

From what I thought, a shield would go offline in a certain sector depending on the attacks. Repelling an attack requires energy. You can:

-Concentrate your attacks on one point and attack it until it fails.

-Attack the entire shield until the ship's A.I. will fail to replenish the energy overall, making it to fail.

Overall, it depends on the battlestar class and how solicited the AI is.

The Martians are humans, right?

No. The Martians were a species who called themselves the Aleshi and lived on the once-lush Mars about 3 million years ago to 30 million years ago. However, they got into a massive eight hundred year-long war which culminated in a three week nuclear war. Many thousands of nuclear weapons actually blasted the atmosphere into space- bit by bit- until the planet was uninhabitable. So, just as mankind began looking to the stars, the Martians were making a beeline for them. Several vast ships- known as the Exodus Ships- left Mars and settled down on the other side of the galaxy. They stayed there, on New Mars, until 10,000 BCE, when they left due to an invading force of parasites, setting them several hudnred years backwards technology-wise and decreasing their population greatly. They then lived on these huge ships for hundreds of years, until they settled on Q'arr about a thousand years ago. So, somehow, they ended up not far from their ancestral homeland, even after spending millennia searching for a home across the galaxy. When you picture them, just think of pale Klingons (from Star Trek) with some Romulan features. Their culture, however, is very Klingon-like. Of course, some of their races- particularly the Tharks- are very different from the main breed. But the Klingon-like ones have social and political dominance.

Then, your race will be the main objective of the Great Crusade.

Anyway, what will you do with the massive human population in the Sol System? And if you would try to populate Terra with Martians, you would face open rebellions.

[The Gonzen Corrective]

Found me some standard weaponry:

Tyranids for the win.

[Tracian Empire]

I know that we are allowed to use nukes, they aren't as dangerous, but from what I know, the rest of WMD's are forbidden. And that thingy seems more dangerous than the Nova bombs I abandoned some time ago.

When we got there, we just gave them 96 hours to leave and slaughtered those who fought back. Those who didn't were put in the work force. Mind you, they were treated with the same respect as Martian workers- largely due to our socialism. That's one reason why the Nebula stationed in the Sol System makes a little check-up on Earth every few days- the massive potential for rebellions. Of course, any spark of rebellion has been watered down over the years of living under Socialism and a 26 kilometer-long ship.


As I said, I'm very willing to negotiate a treaty involving Sol. As long as we keep Mars, we're fairly happy.

Okay, I'll delete the post. It was going to advance the Coup in the Martian government and lead to a rebel Nebula ship moving around the galaxy.


Sorry, I wasn't aware of the WMD rule. Taking action now.


Edit: Really? You had to post before I deleted it? Now we have a -snip- hanging around in the IC like a drunk. Oh, well, who cares. We won't be back to page 12 very often after we post a few more times.

No matter what treaties were signed at the end of the SIW, there is just no way the Sovereign Colonies would have allowed the Sol System, the most populated human system in the galaxy, to be forcefully emptied. That would have caused a smaiive uproar among all human nations across the galaxy.

Normal WMD's are allowed, but WMD's that can deaotey entire systems are prohibited. That's why I had to abandon my Nova bombs.

From what I pieced together from your instructions on post-SIW history, a backwater Terran state was in control of Sol. They probably saw a slightly larger nation coming with multi-kilometer ships and most fled; the remaining few met the fate above. And remember, the only truly powerful Terran state was about 70,000 light-years away... little word probably came to you, and not very fast. I was sitting in the office chair that is Mars and putting my feet up on the desk that is Earth by the time you got a note passed to you in fifth period that a new principal had taken over (yes, the accuracy of the power levels in that analogy is off, but you get the idea).

The Colonials have always been very protective with the forbidden fruit called Earth. During the SIW, the Sol System was probably the most best protected place in the Colonies after Thylium.

As I have mentioned in the former thread, in accordance with the Articles of Colonization, once a nation decides to secede from the Sovereign Colonies, they keep the armed forces in their area. That's why the SC were so weakened. So you wouldn't have fought a backwater Terran state, but probably the most powerful human state in the area. Also, an alien attack against the Sol System would have coalized the hu!an nations around that area of the galaxy.

Well, sh*t. Maybe I used to have more than a hundred Nebulas, but I lost 85 in the war and have made 15 more since. That, and I lost several thousand warbirds and the war devastated the Jovian system.

Well, it's already in the past, but that changes everything. You forcefully took the Holy Sol System, destroying the humans that opposed you and forced the others to leave, probably for the SC. Earth will be the objective of the Great Crusade. Martians, prepare for xenocide.

If the S.C does begin pursuing more xenophobic policies, the Drathians may consider breaking diplomatic ties with them and declaring war. It would be nice for them to clear space in the Horse Head Nebula for their allies the Goblonians to expand.

Oh, for sure. But a morally and physically damaged one after their victory/defeat over/at-the-hands-of the Martians? Sure they are tough, but they would have expended ammo, faced losses, and of course quite a few would likely be quite tired, especially any foot soldiers battling planet-side. Imagine yourself in a condition like that, wounded, low on ammo, tired and morally damaged after the loss of your buddies. Suddenly, giant motherf***ing space monsters are eating your little friends faces off and barreling into your ships. Doesn't sound like much fun. Anyway, helping out the martians would be fun, then just attacking them once the battle ends. Either way, we will kill some folk and have some fun, and ain't that all that really matters?

You are forgetting some things.

1. The Sol System is Holy for most of the humans. There is no way any human would leave it to be eaten, they would fight with desperation.
2. The AI known as Alice has reahced such a level it can control battlestars with no crew members inside. I don't need soldiers.
3. Immediately after the victory, at least in my case, it's a standard procedure, I would bring reinforcements and install defense systems.
