Gagium, how large are your carriers? I need to know for perspective's sake, since the Onset Recession is, as a superfreighter, several kilometers in size. So there is a very real possibility that the carrier might be docking with the freighter, not the other way around, in case you were thinking otherwise.

My carriers are 1.5 kilometers long...of course, by Federation protocol, your freighter will be technically docking with my carrier, when it'll actually be vice versa.

ORBAT:
3x battle carriers
12x star cruisers
36x destroyers
108x corvettes
648x heavy fighters
1000x fighters

No armies are especially ready due to supply issues (will start raising one in first posts)
Alignment: Neutral
Additional Information: Teutonican military technology is somewhat out of date but makes up for it in sheer numbers, so don't get too spooked if I bring in tremendous numbers. It doesn't balance out entirely, as our tech disadvantage is more akin to comparing late 90s - early 2000s tech to 2018 tech and our share of the galactic population is almost to China proportions (China has about 20% of Earth's pop today, Teutons have about 13.5% of galactic pop). I'm willing to nerf if necessary.

Can I have more details on what your species & ships are actually made of and how they work Higher Intelligence?

Accepted, though try cutting the percentage of the galactic population made up of Teutons in half, which would still be massively large

[Higher Intelligence]

Can I have more details on what your species & ships are actually made of and how they work Higher Intelligence?

Sure!

The Higher Intelligence is filled with ascended beings known as Transmissions who may take various forms as they see fit. As a society, they have advanced beyond conventional science and merely code things into existence as they see fit. They have no single species, but rather include anyone in their domain who are eager to exist with science and technology - not that they are bound by the limitations of species, anyway, as they merely can code new ones into reality as well (to say nothing of changing themselves from species to species if the urge so descends upon them).

The Transcendence type voidcraft present in the thread is built from fourth dimensional material constructs (tesseracts) coupled with various field effects that propagate over 3D space (gravitic, electromagnetic, etc) courtesy the sheer weight of its existence. Naturally these do not stray far from the craft, as barriers are of course also coded to exist within certain parameters to prevent such things, but these field effects are as much a part of the ship as gravity is essential to a heavenly body.

We have, of course, seen some of the intrinsic properties of the craft so far in the thread (existence beyond Newtonian physics, gravitic and digital shielding, etc, ethereal existence) and I am very excited to be able to present more of them!

Hmmmm....and how do you kill Transmissions?

As per the higher dimensional nature of Transmissions, effectively countering them with conventional systems is a rather daunting task. Entities of 4D nature and sufficiently advanced transapients are capable of effectively countering them, however; as for their ships - it is perfectly possible, through fairly traditional means, to harm the portion(s) of them that interact with reality as typically perceived, perhaps enough to impede their ability to interact with physical reality or, in more extreme cases, compel them to withdraw.

Accepted, though try cutting the percentage of the galactic population made up of Teutons in half, which would still be massively large

That'd be 6.25%. How about 8.5%?

Mate, you do realize how big a galaxy is, right? Billions of stars, each capable of supporting trillions of people. Claiming that kind of support is basically a godmod, even if it's a very quiet one.

I'm aware there's at least 100 billion planets across the galaxy. Also, no, being strong doesn't really default to powergaming if it's not really on an absurd level. Having quadrillions of people and insta-galaxy collapsers would be, but "i outpopulate you by a proportional margin less severe than the Chinese outpopulate the Americans and I also have relatively outdated tech" isn't. Now, shoo, this doesn't involve you. I'll find an acceptable level with Gagium, you're not needed.

[The Coalition Theomilitary]

To be honest, while a claim of such a percentage of the galactic population does sound rather absurd when you think about it, I would be of the opinion that it's only a fairly trivial snippet of information that wouldn't have any particular bearing on the scope of this RP.

As such, it feels kind of like a pointless thing to argue about and criticize in the context of this thread and I don't exactly see why it's a problem in the first place.

Claiming 13.5% galactic pop would be claiming quadrillions of people. Assuming your 100 billion planets figure, and understanding that a planet can support at least eight billion people judging by modern day earth, we can come to the conclusion that the galaxy can claim some eight quadrillion people, 13.5% of which would in fact be over a quadrillion people. This is only made worse when one considers the possible economic power of simply having a few hundred billion people, let alone trillions. Escalating by a factor of a hundred thousand is something else entirely, and would result in a hulking leviathan which could easily swallow the disparate polities of the Milky Way whole without even a thought, shortly before moving onto Andromeda for seconds.

Notice how I'm not claiming 13.5% of the galaxy, but that me and Gagium are actually finding a replacement number.

Now, not going to repeat myself again, butt out, thank you.

Even 0.01% would be ridiculous. You don't need to claim that much of the galaxy for that kind of population to carry with it a disgusting industrial capacity.

butt out, thank you.
