Depths of Space (OOC, OPEN, FT)

[The V O I D]

Mmmmm, I guess I'll hold my Imperium Day post till later. You're going to have to tell me how far you are going to advance and how much. Because we need to explain the inbetween bits and what happened. Also I disgree with containment since people like NRA are going to try and "control" them. Also I think we should make a new fourm if we are going to swap over. Just so that the nations can actually be updated for once...

So does that mean when we conclude the Highbreed War, you'll do the new OP? I suppose that makes sense.

Oh, and I was thinking we advance so that the Highbreed despite losing the planets themselves have a victory at Grechingkeit. And then after that they attack a few core systems and surrounding systems, had some victories/losses there and eventually go for Ostia, like planned. This is the turning point on the Ostian front where the Highbreed begin retreating. Then we have on the other front, the Covenant front, a retreat after the battle for Ziosh I suppose.

The reason I wanted to have the Highbreed be contained is because I wanted for the Cult to somehow survive and still serve its master as a subantagonist sortof, reducing the Highbreed's threat significance as long as you don't enter Disploea. As for the new nations, I plan to have the Imperial Species Commonwealth form in the new thread and such, as well as establish the Tsveri Empire. That's about it.

Hey, Spindle, do you mind if that's what the more 'united' government is called? The Imperial Species Commonwealth? I plan for Imperator Vorr to retire away with Eris post-War and such, so he can be with her. By then, their son will be 16-ish and of age to take over as Imperator; on top of that the Remnant will have gained much territory. So I figure that should be the name of the new 'united' government between our nations. Or, something along those lines.

Hey, Moscow, I replied to you in my last post.

[The NAR]

You guys hear me? I have a really good idea for Ashur and human history in general and I need your input

What is it?

Basically, Ashur is the sole surviving ancient Human from thousands of years ago, which ruled the majority of the Galaxy in a vast and powerful empire. This empire of Humans which were slightly different than modern Humans, were the ones who created the Highbreed bio weapon which destroyed them and much of Mankind, though Ashur saved Human genetics for thousands of years as other races rose and fell, and relatively recently, he recreated the Human Race on Earth, and has since watched them grow with the help of his own servants, which is the explanation for "alien" interaction in ancient civilization. For thousands of years he has been trying to find away to destroy them, but now he thinks he may be able to harness their abilities to uplift humanity into a second empire.

I don't know how to feel about that. For one, I have a ancient race called the Kelraaza had a giant ass empire and were the first ones to face the High Breed and their creators which ended up in a thousand year war that killed trillions. My second point is while it could work, there's the whole thing of the High Breed not mentioning this at all during their war with the Ostians. I feel like The All Mind would make a note that the Ostians are the decendents of its creators. Third, I'm not the biggest fan of stories where Ancient Humanity had a huge Galactic Empire but degraded because of war/disease/fuck I don't know. It rubs me the wrong way that stories like those just say "Oh humanity advanced really quickly, then fell, and took way longer than it did the last time.

Well I could scale it down. Say he lived some 20,000 years ago during the "Atlantean Empire" that was a good chunk of the galaxy that was destroyed by the Highbreed, and he recreated Humans on Earth.

[The Moscow Metro Red Line]

I'll work on that post later tonight, Gambia.

However Void the question is how much are you going to advance? Besides once you get into the core worlds, that is pretty much hampering my centers of industry which will probably be the site of even larger battles. Even if you take the Gerechtigkeit system, the other systems aren't going to allow you to just waltz into Ostian territory. More likely they're going to be fighting to stall your advance. What I can see is that you take Displeoa, Gerechtigkeit, Einheitspartei, Fuerein, Moloch and Brot systems which would open a hole in the Ostian defenses. However if you really want to go all apocalyptic, I'll add the Linke and Stahlvolk systems.

What I fear is that Ostia will be in a pretty battered position after losing a lot of territory. Which will make it vulnerable to other future external threats like Orson's Third Reich. With collapsing power, Ostia may end up as a failed state and be a haven for terrorists like NAR's Paladin. That and it may lose a lot more territory if the SRF actually makes a move and retakes its former systems due to loss of manpower due to the war. Ostia will just then be absorbed by the other powers and end up as numerous puppet states.

Also there is a person going to be the "mediator", basically someone who can speak to the All-Mind without being nomed.

Ooo. The mediator sounds like an interesting job. Also, I kind of meant we'd advance to like maybe one month or a month and a half post awakening to give the amount of time necessary for the Highbreed to have reached near / around Ostian's home system and near the Ziosh system.

[The Moscow Metro Red Line]

I thought we agreed to the mediator thing. Also why I said this is because there is alot of thing between Ostia and you. And they're not exactly going to let you waltz into the Ostia system without a fight.

[The V O I D]

I know. So when we get to the timeskip we explain the fighting involved, and that in some systems are somewhat disputed or in an almost 'endless battle'; others are Ostian victory but there is a Highbreed presence still fighting, but dying off quickly. And others still were obviously Highbreed victories.

And then the Battle for Ostia is the turning point in the War as the Highbreed must retreat; and the Battle of Ziosh is going to be the turning point for the Covenant front. Then the Highbreed will be reduced to a fuckton of power, but only in control of Disploea and maybe one other system. Then you have your mediator come along and talk to the Allmind, telling it the deal.

As for Paladin, good luck trying to take control of / weaponize a thing that anything it infects is instantly connected to the Allmind, and won't hesitate to eat you unless you give it a very good offer like the mediator might...

[The Dark Brotherhood of Deros]

Should I do anything for the Highbreed war?

[The V O I D]

Should I do anything for the Highbreed war?

That's up to you. Though, when we conclude the battle at Grechingkeit and in two other systems in the Covenant, we're doing a mini-timeskip of sorts to the turning point, and after the War ends we're doing another timeskip to a decade post-War and Moscow is starting a new thread for that. I think.

That's what I'm getting out of all this, anyways.

Yay! then... in our little post war thread... YOU FILTHY SOFT-SKINS ARE DOOMED!

[The NAR]

I'll try to get a post up tonight.

Also, when we do this decade time-skip, would I be allowed to say that Atlas did a shit-ton of illegal research and experimentation within Highbreed space and took specimens to their labs across the galaxy? Ashur already has extensive records of the Highbreed from thousands of years, and basically all records from when his people fought them millennia ago, but I'd like a solid foothold in the Highbreed front while we do this Covenant thing.

Hold on now, we didn't even say if you had the green light to go ahead with this ancient human business.

By this time, the Highbreed will have probably conquered most of the Aicury Sector and its 20 billion inhabitants.

The greatest danger would come when the Highbreed make it into the nearby Dronis Sector, which has a population of 500 billion. The Covenant would end up sacrificing a lot of its territory and being forced to concentrate on a few fortress worlds that the Highbreed would have a tough time penetrating, as well as using gravity well generators to prevent Highbreed ships from advancing any further.

The Battle of Ziosh will indeed be significant, as Ziosh would be one of the last Covenant holdouts in the Aicury Sector.

Well I said I'd dial it back.

Instead, Ashur is the last survivor from the ancient "Atlantean Empire", which ruled Earth and the areas around it like 20-40,000 years ago, and fought their own war against the Highbreed, which they lost.

[The Orson Empire]

Also, in my most recent post, you can see how this military dictatorship that will take over the Covenant is already developing.

[Aterria]

A Military leadership is already in power here. Aid will be arriving to Ostian Space very soon.

Location: Very center of the Milky Way
Government type: Megacorporation
Economic ideology: Capitalizt
History: The most powerful megacorporation in the Sector after the fall of the Domain gate system, Tri-Tachyon specialized in cutting-edge AI development (including several notable cases of violating the Domain ban on autonomous alpha+ level AI) and exotic high-power devices (starship engines and warp drives, power generators, energy converters, forcefields). Since the collapse, Tri-Tachyon has vastly diversified its operations and insinuated itself throughout the Sector. even hostile factions, paranoid of hardwired backdoors, find themselves forced to employ standard Tri-Tachyon devices, beginning with the ubiquitous Tri-Tachyon PDA.

From a certain perspective, the Tri-Tachyon corporate charter's peculiar algorithmic self-modifying features might be considered to be an abstract form of AI which makes use for human corporate officers as integral components, though this is a philosophical argument which was never satisfactorily resolved in a way that led to any additional convictions of violating the Domain's AI ban.

Can you please explain what are Eldari, Naga, Hydrons, Purifiers? Also can you explain more of what exactly you are? It seems like your nation is not exactly a nation but a corporation. Also you need to explain how the company formed, what was it before? How does this maintain contacts? Also keep in mind that in this phase of the rp, not many people have met each other. That goes especially for NAR who I think should wait-ish for the post-war so that everyone can know each other.

Also, NAR why do you really want to get involved by having an ancient old being that somehow knows everything about the Highbreed? I mean there are other ways to garner influence. Like invest in the reconstruction of Ostia covertly? I mean it would be strange if there are secret things built into the newest structures and buildings? Sure you won't influence the war, but the Ostia government is going to pay you for the reconstruction work and you can use that money to errm....*cough* *cough* Besides you'll probably help rebuild some of the infrastructure and add some rooms off the building plans.

Orson, when you mean the group, did you mean you want all of us to follow you to the bridge? Because that would make alot more sense if you specified.

Eldari - Genetically modified humans with psychic powers
Naga - Snake like humanoids
Hydrons - Mysterious, highly intelligent elemental beings of water
Purifiers - Personality constructs, they have the memories and personalities of humans that died prior to their creation encodedwithin them.

History - a bit
The Megacorporation was established in the center of the Milky Way as a trade hub for the whole galaxy. It is one of the suppliers of the weapons of the Colonies, vastly improving them whenever they can. 8 companies that have built their own facilities in the center of the Milky Way decided to merge into 1 great megacorporation for unity and better stock holding In all actuality, they have become an independent entity instead of a simple company making profit. They supply weapons to many human factions, as well as they build ships for clients.

Alright, but I think you need to understand that you'll be more helpful in the post-war. Because Ostians would only buy their own weaponry and military equipment. Also I would like to know more about the species? Like how did they form, what is their physicality, and etc? Just some more information to work with, besides why did these things come together to form a corporation? Was it just solely for profit?

Highbreed post tomorrow. Gotta think about a few things.
