Twilight of the Galaxy: Reloaded (OOC, Open)

[Dansha]

Say, Gambia, what kind of diplomatic relations would you say the Bureau has with the Federation?

Same question for Alinora and the Galactic Alliance.

We cool.

[The New Earth Federation]

Anyone interested in meeting the NEF?

I actually wouldn't mind.

@VOID. Yeah. We've filled up with superpowers and ancients ATM. They're gonna have to be regional.

Are you sending a ship or am I?

[The Greater Gambia]

Alright, Orson's post is up. I'll get to the Gala after I clean the kitchen.

[Alinora]

We try to keep friendly relations with everyone, except some *cough* Covenant *cough* don't like to cooperate. We'd be fine.

[Equalsun Empire]

Well... You all are rebooting this right when I'm gonna be without wifi for a week. So that's cool. I'll be re-applying with a slightly altered Eldenian Commonwealth once I get back :3

Also, small suggestion: post a link to this forum in the old Twilight OOC and then lock it. I only knew that the reboot had gone through when Atria tried to apply and you mentioned the new thread

[Ordei]

I need a reply from Pret. *Stares at mean AI across the street.*

I wanna get inti the fight!

The UNS should ramp up its military, it looks like, and do it quickly.

Now that New Rome is bearing down on the UNS, it makes sense to start translating our vast wealth into actual guns and ships.

Ironically, this time, it looks like Rome will be the barbarian horde knocking at the gates of a more civilized nation.

They always were. 146 BC Carthage, never forget, never forget....

Anyway, the Federation is willing to lend a hand, we have humans too, better yet, humans that don't have delusional dreams of glory.

Is it too late to join? I have been fairly inactive recently, and I want to get back into the swing of things. I am vacationing until the 17th of August, but after that I should be able to post IC fairly often.

[Ordei]

We only hace, likez 18 players... And 23 votes. We can turn off the poll, now

Nah, feel free to app up. Just no more human nations.

We need more strange races. Would you mind making our freaks? Not you, Gambia.

We'd also be willing to lend a hand. The Alliance is practically dominated by Humans, since some 32% of it's population is human and no other race goes over 20%

[Yekrenia]

Is there still enough room for another roleplayer? I'm willing to join.

[Plzen]

There is always room for more role-players.

[The Greater Gambia]

Yeah, just no more humans.

[Dansha]

Say, Gambia, would it be possible for one of the League of Nation's ships to end up in Tagali space during a test to see if the FTL system they built into the colony ships they are building actually works?

[Inoroth]

Nah, feel free to app up. Just no more human nations.

Not problem, I already have a nonhuman FT race I made an app for in another RP, so most everything I need for your app is already made. I will post an app when I return.

Thank you.

Librarian's Announcement: There's a new question in the lore databases!

[Ordei]

I'm still listed as a co-OP. The stressssss!

;-; Tgere is no stress, but I like giving Fallen a hard time over OP edits. He always forgets about them xD

Terraforming technology is... interesting, Gambia.

The UNS knows, theoretically, how it is done, but we have basically no practical experience or supporting infrastructure.

Life support is almost always cheaper than terraforming in the UNS, because of our low population density. In the entire UNS there are maybe four or five terraformed planets (including, notably, Mars). The rest are just barren, iced, toxic, or otherwise uninhabitable worlds with bubbles of life support on it.

I can blow bubbles for you :3

Space bubble man!
He houses humans!
He likes bubbles!
Just don't pop 'em
Space bubble man!

Federation Terraforming comes from old Khyrsian technology which was basically plundered from the ruins of the confederacy. While life in the Federation's region is pretty abundant, habitable worlds aren't, and those that due often have delicate ecosystems that must be taken into account. Now, it's easier to find a barren rock, and adjust the atmosphere a bit, throw some trees and wildlife down to get an ecosystem going and voila. Federation worlds are literally garden worlds.

Still working on how the Federation uses Hardlight technology, most likely for shielding and construction.

Gravity bombs are basically Zarya's ult from Overwatch. If you don't know what I mean, just look it up. It should become pretty obvious.

-snip-

If you do end up helping the UNS defend against New Rome and the Covenant, your ground forces will definitely end up hating the UNS.

For the purposes of taxation (people on habitable planets are taxed more), the United Nations defines "habitable celestial body" as a planet, satellite, or asteroid with an average surface temperature between -75 and +75 degrees Celsius, average surface gravity of between 2.5 and 16.5 meters per second squared, has a non-corrosive, non-reactive atmosphere of less than 250,000 Pa, and has no disqualifying features (such as radioactivity).

So we might get interesting situations where a regiment of Federation infantry lands on a "habitable" planet and find out that the planet has lovely scenery like liquid nitrogen lakes and lightning shows across a pure-neon atmosphere.

And then they get an order to redeploy to a "non-habitable" UNS planet. Rage and frustration ensues.

Lovely.
