The Rimworld Wars (OOC/FT/Closed)

[Cyborgs and Sentient Machines]

Well, OOCly I invented the landfish when I was in 6th grade, along with most of there back story. Gotta keep them true to the lore.

Well you could do better than what you did 2 years ago.

You will still be true to the concept.

[The Landfish Colonies]

Oh that's no fun....

I would've preferred if you were some intelligent amphibious species that evolved on a very equatic planet (maybe more like 90% of the surface being covered in water instead of 75% on Earth).
Oh well, your choice.

To put it simply, the humans that would once become the landfish left Sol after a long a bloody war which the lost in search of habitable worlds. The search was supposed to take 10-15 years, but ended up lasting over 50 because a warp drive malfunction sent them of course. They were weary after the long voyage, and eventually found a planet that was 90% water. They were just happy to find somewhere to land, so they did and set up colonies in marshland and shallow water. Over time they genetically modified themselves to become more suitable for life on a water world.

After several years, war broke out and basically destroyed the entire planet, causing it to change from a water world into a molten hellhole, with hardly any survivors. Those that did survived by scavenging old tech and slowly spreading back across the planet until the Empire was formed.

I was expecting Landfish generals to be outraged at this recent surrender.
I was expecting Landfish high command to only be okay with losing the planet of Troaet if it was fought until the last drop of blood, which it wasn't.

The Local command just killed themselves. High Command knows that the planet just experienced a small scale exterminatus, but doesn't know that they surrendered.

Well you could do better than what you did 2 years ago.

I did expand on the original idea abit, as 11 year olds aren't exactly known for writing the best lore. And 2 years? 2 years!? How old do you think I am?

[Ministerial]

Are we making propaganda posters of each other?

I'll just leave this

then...

tsk

[Cyborgs and Sentient Machines]

Well it depends on how long ago it was when you first came up with the idea of the Landfish, before you started playing NS.
Your NS account was founded about a year ago.

[The New Earth Federation]

The first time I RPed and came up with lore was about 6th grade however I didn't really get into it until 8th where I created the NAE and joined a friend who had been creating his lore since he was around seven or eight. Howeverthey was recently I changed it to the NEF as I wanted something different the only areas that chanced between the NEF and the NAE where the name, military doctrine, technology, and appearance of the soldiers (the NAE had trench coats, stalhems, and gas masks)

Also ministerial that's what I think about the GBE turret.

[Taigawa]

I started pretty much as a MT Imperial Japan clone....only with anthros. Once I learned how to use imgur I went into FT. I went my first year with the Hong Kong flag, only changing it after one of the VERY rare times I had access to a PC. It only recently after reading the Forerunner saga that my lore reached it's current state. Roughly, I have been here 1 and a half years.

I am not counting the six months last year I could'nt access the internet at all.

[Doom Legions]

The first concepts of what I have today started when I started doodling stick figures with guns and learned my first few words of English. I was, what, 5 years old? Can't remember exactly. I changed and improved my ideas as time went on and I grew as a person, the Doom Legions isn't even the first name I have for my faction, back when I was 9 I called it 'Beast Skull', it sounded cool at the time..

Eventually I ended up with what I have now, and I'm quite pleased with how things turned out.

[Halvatia]

Well, since everyone is speaking of lore.

Quite honestly i've always been fascinated with WW2 and the German Army as well as America in the 1950's and always had an idea for a nation like this. A civil war with the Nazis, beating them and saving lives instead of committing mass genocide. Games like Mass Effect and Wolfenstein also helped in the development of Halvatia. More over, most of the lore is in my head, I just have a very hard time with writing it down.

I originally was going to have Halvatia as a galactic power but decided that, that was not powerful enough, I had millions of ideas that could only be achieved in being a Multiversal Power. So that is why Halvatia is as powerful as it is.

It is a combination of a lot of different things, but all and all, Halvatia is still in development since its inception about a year ago.

[Cyborgs and Sentient Machines]

May I ask why did decided that being on par with the Empire (from Star Wars, as they had control of an entire Galaxy,) wasn't enough?
You could've had direct control over a galaxy as it would all be your territory, but only have influence over different Galaxies (even from alternate universes) through diplomacy and trade.

Or like me, just own a handful of planets and influence other galaxies, universes even by sending out strikeforces to fuck shit up.

[Vektra]

I always felt that play as a multiversal empire is somewhat boring.

[Gaia Concordis]

Oh, gosh. I've been thinking about the Imperium for a loooooong time. Since like, elementary school. It wasn't the Imperium then, though. It was just an unnamed utopia civilization that I thought of because I was young and was like, "hey, everyone should just get along." It became the Imperium in earnest several years back when I started to genuinely put thought into it. Halo, Rome, and WH40k influenced me greatly, haha. It isn't a utopia now, obviously. All things must have flaws.

Its status as a mutliversal empire arose after I started doing text RPs with my friends. The contents of these RPs are not particularly important, but the idea of the multiverse was very VERY intergral to much of what we did- and so came the Multiuniversal Gaian Empire. These text RPs are where I got most of my base ideas (e.g., centurions, the emperor, Praetorians, acroweapons) from, sometimes out of a 'hey wouldn't it be cool if-' moment and sometimes out of necessity. However, my ideas lacked polish- So I started fixing them up. I'm still working on it, obviously- but it's more of a permanent work in progress than anything. Worldbuilding is never done.

[The New Earth Federation]

I always felt that play as a multiversal empire is somewhat boring.

Same, i feel that since you control a galaxy there would no conflict, no action, no excitement. That's why I usually stick with a several hundred (to several thousand) system empire.

I only own 20 hiperpopulated planets xD But hundred or thousands of colonies in this verse (with small population, just mining colonies or farming planets). There are others vektra's in diferent multiverses, and they all conform the Vektran federated multiverse xD wich I only use when dealing with multiversal empires.
That's why I relieve so many in droids and production. I always believe that vektra have a brutal production industry, that makes another FT empires look like they are in the stone age compared to us xD

Industry bros! *high five* ahhhh there is nothing like producing a endless stream of warships

Personally, I like the ability to come up with absolutely bat shit insane ideas, and well, in my mind, I like control. Not necessarily over other nations actually ran by other people, but control of my own little world.

I enjoy being able to have more than just a small amount of lore from one universe. That is why Halvatia has Star Wars, Mass Effect, Dr.Who and a LOT of other universes within its own.

[Thaitum]

Lore: My lore is obviously very fucking new. It's actually something I came up with a couple of months ago and is strongly influenced by wh40k, Aldnoah zero, Gundam, 18th and 19th century concepts, and some other stuff. My lore is still developing and RPs like this really help develop it

Doom: A um... Doom, there were eight destroyers. There were some reinforcements that I sent to help the convoy when we first started brawling... the other four destroyers were deployed behind the main fighting between Rampel's escort fleet and your forces. And the destroyers are only distracting you so the drop ships get through the shield and into Nova Rimworld.

Oh, right, forgot about those. Not that it'll matter. I'll edit this in a bit, if I don't forget.
They're a good distraction, for my ships' big guns, which would be too inaccurate to reliably hit something the size of a dropship. Remember that only my ships' heavy weapons are firing at your destroyers, the rest of the weapons are still gunning down dropships.

And now that we're talking, any way I can get a reading on your ships' shield status? I mean, they're Destroyers, one of the lightest ship classes, that have been tanking an entire fleet with capitol ships. Can't be good for their health.

All right then mate. I'll get to it in a while. And yeah they've been getting hit pretty hard but, Thaitum shield generators are pretty damn resilient... but with all this going on their shields are pretty wrecked right now.

Also I got something for Vektra l... *hands item to you*.here you go vek, just for you https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=X4V1vC47CEk

[Farledor]

Yeah I'll contribute to this discussion, bandwagon ho!
These is kinda long, so I do hope those who read it don't feel like they wasted their time. If it did feel like a waste of time, well, free internet hug? :c

I like being the underdog. I like my nations being corrupt, incapable, understaffed/underfunded and unable to respond to threats properly.
It gives me an excuse to give my characters trouble when dealing with their own nation, or dealing with outside threats.

Screw perfection! The best situations are when the odds are stacked against you both on the interior and exterior, and yet still surviving against the impossible odds provided. Its why I love Lovecraft, its why I love Mass Effect's Reaper War, its why I want to fight the Doom Legions/Vektra! I don't want to lose my characters or entire nation, but losing entire fleets and armies and horrifying my own character(s) which then develop them into experienced individuals? Fuck yes. And being the underdog and surviving is complimentary to me, it means even against all odds, giving the middle finger to things that have literal gods on their sides can be a courageous act, perhaps overly stubborn, but still brave. (Heh, as they say, the line between bravery and stupidity is rather thin)

Mind you- I'm not saying have gods or being powerful nations is bad! Its the polar opposite honestly; I love nations that are super powerful because I love fighting them and losing again and again. It allows them to show their power, while allowing me to write my own miniature plot about people losing hope, but still being able to maintain it for whatever reasons appear. Its why I joke about invading people, I'll lose obviously, but then I can have a plot where those soldiers attempt to survive and escape! Like Killzone 3! (Admittedly without the whole "I'll blow up yer' planet" in the end)

Without a army, without guns, without hope, without allies. The most horrifying thing to fight is an enemy who has lost everything- and is still willing to kill every single one of your soldiers and civilians to the end. I like being that kind of enemy.

Aaaanyways, when we talk about my nation idea? 'Eh, I think one or two people in this thread may have seen me before. They would know that Farledor hasn't changed at all, it's just one giant isolationist, corrupt, paranoid nation that goes to war out of fear of change. It doesn't resonate with my politics at all (I'm both an anarchist and not- I'd explain my philosophy and politics, but I don't have to the energy to nor would anyone be interested) I just decided to mock a overly capitalist society with a nobility and autocracy. And then have that autocracy be my tool to a corrupt leadership, which then leads to a dictatorship, which then leads to stupid decisions that get my characters into trouble. Like massive pointless wars over paranoia!

I create my own universes for every forum/thread/universe thing, Farledor is just one of many ideas, I have no future plans for it. But it is a great spot for me to test my own sci-fi ideas!

Wrecked as in gone? Or just severely damaged? IC-ly my scanners would be able to see how strong they still are, but since they're your ships I can't dictate that in my posts you see, cos I got plans for when they go down.
