Twilight of the Galaxy (OOC, Open) [Reupload in Progress]

[The V O I D]

Pret, I really think it's a bad idea to piss off the guys about to be in charge of Xaei space on top of pissing off the Covenant. Considering the XRA is pro-Spindlean independence, they'd probably ensure Spindle is able to better defend itself and make it an ally. Thus, you've got 2 war machines and 1 stealth maniac teaming on you.

I literally don't see how attacking the XRA ends in your favor. The XRA aren't going to stay grounded. They aren't going to listen to you. See, it's their space; you're just helping secure it and take it from the Loyalists, as far as they're concerned. Impeding them is going to go about as well as stepping in a bucket of legos while bare foot.

Just saying.

Also, just remembered. I have to work on a post. Going to start doing so now.

[The Orson Empire]

I've given up trying to stop Orso.

Though Pret, how exactly have you glassed hundreds of worlds already? We aren't doing a large timeskip as far as I know.

The outer colonies are not as heavily defended or populated, and I said they were destroyed, not glassed.

What are they going to do, somehow fly under the radar of destroyers closely watching the planets? And what do they have to gain from ignoring the Orso Empire when they just need to wait for the war to end?

And remember, this is not the entirety of the Union being locked down, it's just Orso-controlled space. It's not like the no-fly zone to the west has heavily affected the XRA to such an extent that they'd risk it, is it?

There is still not nearly enough time for you to destroy hundreds of them.

Gonna try to get things interesting in boring HumanLand(™).

A Tech Armada is about 24 fleets on average accounting for the maximum and minimum (54 and 16). The X Tech Armada is a full 54 while I'll say the other two tech armadas are about 24 for a total of 102 fleets. There are 50,000 systems in the Xaei Union. An Orso fleet is about 200 vessels excluding the destroyers, while the fleet at the Vadrais System was a few dozen; presumably fleet sizes increase closer to the core worlds, reaching the thousands per system. Let's say the initial weeks yield 200 worlds conquered per week, slowing down to, say, 100 a week as they near the core worlds and need to devote multiple fleets to one system regularly- the average would be 150 worlds a week, just above the number of fleets in the invasion. For a timeskip, three months sounds reasonable for a blitzkrieg. Three months (assuming one of them isn't February or it doesn't go through New Years or it isn't July to August) is seventeen weeks and three days. 150x17=2,550. Void's app describe the Xaei as being unwilling to surrender, so there would definitely be worlds that don't, but the divide in the Xaei Union between loyalist, XRA, and neutral worlds somewhat complicates that. It's also complicated by the issue of whether the "Surrender or everybody dies" demands of Orso fleets combined with the ruthless and swift blitzkrieg either causes fear or hatred.

I was intentionally vague with how many hundreds it was. "Hundreds" can technically range from only 200 to 1,999, or in looser terms to, say, 2,550. 2,550 is a significant number for only a few months, but not enough to badly damage the Xaei Union after the war is over. Maybeand hopefullyenough to strain relations however.

Does this sound reasonable Void?

It sounds a bit reasonable, yes. But I'm just letting you know that the XRA is also formed up of 40% of the Union's military. 40% of the Union's military was secretly XRA. So, the XRA has actual, military-grade vessels and dreadnoughts and the like at its disposal. They are still smaller than the Loyalist military, but not by much, and with the Covenant's help they equal the Loyalists; with the Orso's help they are superior. So, when the Orso pass through directly-controlled systems with XRA fleets, they could be legitimate military-grade fleets simply welcoming them and giving them coordinates to hostile or neutral systems, etc.

I'm saying that in situations like that, the XRA aren't going to be too keen on having to do whatever the Orso say. In these areas, the XRA has jurisdictional control.

Anyways, as for my post, I'll post tomorrow or Friday at some point. The Xaei Ascendancy that arises from this revolution is going to be pro-covenant, and pro-human [to a certain degree, at least with regard to Spindlean humans]. With the Orso, I feel like regardless the Ascendancy may have issues with them at some degree or another.

They won't be keen, but there's nothing wrong with them sitting out and letting the Orso do the work for them. It's futile to argue against stubborn xenophobes with words, and it's dangerous to argue against violent xenophobes with actions.

Just as planned.

Moscow, add in your little news post about rumors of an ancient empire spreading out and interacting with other nations please?

Gunna try to stir up some conflict with the UNS, get some activity down here.

Ahh, I didn't know this was a 3 month timeskip.

Though, are you straight up destroying any settlements that resist, or are you deploying troops to fight them?

[Alinora]

Been gone for a while but where are we now?

Just didn't have the time to keep up with RL and all the RPs I was in. Thinned out a lot tho and I've taken interest here again.

Nice flag btw

And thanks. It's actually the logo of the college I will be attending.

Ah good for you. So, what's happened in the RP since my absence? Anywhere I could come back?

[The Fallen Jedi]

ATTENTION: Due to complications attributed to the Starship size scale, I will be initiating a size reduction of Star Dreadnoughts and all other starships, this will be made sometime tomorrow.

and PS: My original computer is being shipped back to me, and I fully expect it to be here by Friday this week, which will be followed by a drastic increase of my activity.

[Alinora]

So anyone, what's happened in the IC since I've been gone?

I'll explain it sometime tomorrow bro, I'm just too tired to even do much right now.

Oh god, almost done with my navy factbook. Then I'll be ready with my app for this RP!

Oh thank god my largest ship is 19 kilometers long.

It is late, so I don't blame ya. I have to work early tomorrow so I should probably get to sleep too.

Most of my ships are like 6 or 7 miles. Idk what that is in Kilometers.

Kera Kera is a trusted news source in the ASR. I think something like that may be on a tabloid- Wait. Will work on that eventually.
