OOC/Signups for Human/Kovunanto War [OPEN to All]

[Kovunanto]

Hello. Sorry for vanishing for like half a month. I've been busy with final exams for this semester. I'd like to really get back into this, by leading the UNSC into this next battle.

OOC: Hello, welcome back. @Novaya has already made a post-battle IC post describing the aftermath of Hyrule for you. Please welcome your new allies from my previous post that are now ratified. Beware though, another Insurrectionist cell has just appeared on one of Alaska's many islands going by @Eastern Kodiak. You can now update your own post-battle situation on Hyrule, addressing your new allies, and in your own territories. You still have to deal with @Republic of Western Sol before facing @Eastern Kodiak, as it's already getting out of hand unimpeded.

Meanwhile, the Kovunanto while you're away has experienced a first major loss, unable to take Hyrule but did manage to find a glass shard whilst doing the containment procedure from last two nights. Analysis not yet complete, but it might be revealing something important later on. And they have to deal with a heresy trial on May 23rd for their mistakes in logistics.

[Remulia]

...how would they ask yours

Aliens are attacking someone pls help

Anyone can do it, I don't really mind who. Alternatively, Kovunanto can bring the fight to us instead.

I think i can help you with that.
Done in the IC thread...it would take a while to implement that (?)

Hygelac System is located to the north-northwest of the ‘Core Worlds’ -- a collection of relatively wealthy and stable worlds controlled by, or near, the major polities of the Sector. In the distant past, the System, much like the Persean Sector at large, was part of a large, ostensibly democratic federation known as the ‘Domain of Man’, or simply ‘The Domain’, and relied on large ‘Gates’ for most intra- and extra- sector movement. The gate's sudden cessation of function lead to massive political instability and lead to the sector’s current divided state.

===

Founded just before the collapse, Hygelac Station was meant to be the gateway to the system bearing it's name, with an unusually large spaceport close to a Gate, meant to handle the expected flood of settlers. The Collapse put an end to those plans and the station died as supplies dried up.

Two-hundred cycles later, Shannon Farah, seasoned explorer, bounty-hunter, and combat-salvage veteran, rediscovered Hygelac Station and established an outpost that quickly grew into a proper colony. Now home to tens of thousands and a hub for prospectors, traders, mercenaries, and the occasional ‘independent privateer’, Hygelac Station has returned to its original status as a gateway to the far reaches of the Persean Sector and wields outsized influence and wealth for it’s size in its role as a neutral arbitrator and trade hub, with powerful Domain-era weapons systems and armor plating, as well as a recovered Domain-era experimental battlecruiser, rendering the station and it's milita the equal of some of the sector's largest orbital fortresses and capable of standing up even to full battlegroups.

Hygelac Station is run as an indirect democracy, with each permanent resident registering with one of the four ‘guilds’: the Salvagers, the Stationers, the Merchanters, and the Privateers. Within these guilds they then vote on representatives and a station-chief, corresponding to a legislature and a head of government/state and judge, respectively.

Shannon Farah retains some influence among the Station's government and is a popular, widely-respected unifying figure, but despite founding the station generally does not interfere with it’s politics, preferring to continue her previous work as an explorer, salvager, and part-time bounty hunter. She also often returns to the station in times of need or to help fight off some threat or another – generally larger-than-usual pirate raids, but also the occasional intervention by a larger faction.

===

Research into reopening the Gates has been ongoing since the Gate collapse by a variety of institutions, chief among them the Galatia Academy. Although there have been some setbacks, including the disapperance of the first prototype device intended to reopen the Gates, a second device has been produced and Shannon Farah has been contracted to test it, overseen by a member of the Galatia Academy's faculty.

Ok good, I'll jump in, Kovunanto, is this okay with you?

[Novaya Equestria]

OOC: Kovunanto may have the glass shard for this battle and some relics, but every single important character of Hyrule lives to get the Legendary Ending, so Breath of the Wild actually would never happen ever.

You folks did it well, and you helped Hyrule succeed in what they're doing, albeit very rough, messy, and difficult it can be. Hyrule will however take many generations to repopulate, but the land itself is sort of okay, and the seas are left intact.

Now, I'm gonna figure out really hard about why I lost this battle to the UNSC somehow, and the heresy trial is set for next week away from the public. Good work, anyway.

Finally, Battle 4 is finished.

Since I have ships that can destory solar systems... will you introduce a plot armor for the combatants I side agianst?

I am completely against ships that can destroy star systems. Aside from the horrific casualties on a much massive scale and your nation becoming an enemy, that's unacceptable and god-modding, even moreso because that makes the RP un-RP-able/unplayable.

Nobody wants your ships to destroy so many star systems, and people will not accept that. Even I have my limits and standards; Kovunanto had told me in the 4th battle what I did wrong, and I edited my post to make my forces more grounded in battle. If you made a post where your ships began destroying star systems after star systems, then I do not want ANY part of your "destruction of star systems via your ships" idea.

Sorry, Zoigai, but I'm stating my opinion why I'm AGAINST the idea of ships that can literally destroy star systems.

[Kovunanto]

OOC: @Novaya I'll mention this in the first private talks with @New Zoigai tomorrow morning as part of my concern as well. Don't you worry about that for now. Now, I need a break to write up the first talks script for tomorrow, and more writing up for the heresy trial, too. See you.

There goes my dimensional bombs, oh, wait: that's only a "last-resort" weapon, like the BHP (black hole planet) and the BHS (black hole sun) weapons. Just because i have those weapons, doesn't mean i have to use it in every war: That's NOT how an FT nation will fight if they have other alternatives.
So, like Kovunanto say about the gravity wells, those weapons are baned from this thread.

You might want to look in my Wikia. ; ) Teienai is here.

[Hygelac Station]

Threw up a post. Anyone from the UNSC's side can reply, I suppose.

I guess you didnt read the part where I asked Kovunanto if those weapons would be banned, and or just limited to Battle Crusier Busters (15% power) since that is what my soldiers use normally, Star System busters are only used for threats that are Star system level entities or higher (for ovbious reasons) and I havent seen a King vegeta level entity enter the rp yet so I was planning on disabaling the max power mode. Not to mention how costly it is to use a Solar system buster.

Heavily Noted.

[Kovunanto]

OOC: Hyrule is a failed priority world on the alien side, meaning Kovunanto isn't interested in repeating their mistakes, and needs to move on elsewhere. I'm still trying to figure out the next neutral world to go after for the coming week ahead. If I happen to fail an operation in the future, I will put a world's name in dark red underneath Unknown priority worlds/nations under my targets list dispatch meaning that I won't try again.

And whenever I do that, all my allies on my side are to respect it, myself included, and not repeat it to improve the result. That way, worlds that I failed to invade will get to keep their peace, rebuild, and return to their normal business.
Then again, not all alien civilizations out there have the same degree of compliance to worlds they failed to invade, and would just try again until they get their result.

Yes, because if I destory your main system with a single blast, the whole entire plot will be ruined... would it not?

Plot armor is there to make sure such an even doesnt happen

Okay. I will revise my post, On the other hand I do wonder how you plan to retake ground, Losing a major offensive like that is a real morale killer

Plot armor is there to make sure such an even doesnt happen

OOC: That's why as a good reminder, if you don't want your important characters, assets, and whatnot taken out, use the color highlighting code. I always use blue to highlight my important characters, ships, and assets in blue for essentiality.

@New Zoigai Please respect for now on that Hyrule is a failed priority on my part despite being neutral, and Kovunanto isn't keen on taking it again. Just because I would say so doesn't mean that not every alien nation of my side can follow it, it might be due to ignorance factor. It is enforced, and attacking it anyway to see if you can do better than me will make the first diplomatic meeting with me acting different than I would originally plan to do so.

And it's too early in the war to make a beeline straight into UNSC-affiliated space. We're still in 2525. Using reality-altering techs like busters of any type may cause the Contingency AI to make a query to your nation specifically. And the Contingency AI is right now sleeping. You don't want to wake it up.

...why can't I just list them on the OOC?

Anyway, my main concern is that any named characters + their flagships -- that is, the ship that gets mentioned at the starting header of every post -- do not get destroyed. If forced into a bad situation most of my characters will cover the retreat with their flagship anyway, so there will always be escorts.

[Novaya Equestria]

Will make an omake once Kovunanto makes his post, which should have King Rhoam approving what the Worldshapers' plan of healing the world, but only if he gets to see them in action.

Unfortunately I know nothing of the king's personality, nor have I RP'd as any Zelda characters since I never played Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity and even Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I only know The Legend of Zelda games of the 2000s, especially Four Swords, Four Swords Adventures, and even that game I forgot where Vaati got Zelda stoned (not the smoking kind), just by turning her into stone.

Also I won't make a joke where Vaati gave Zelda some crack that turns her into stone, literally. The mods will have my hides for this (metaphorically speaking).

[Novaya Equestria]

Kovunanto, I made my post.

Also, Novayan Forces Milky Way will be going all out to stop the Kovunanto dead in their tracks - research and developing new techs, building up infrastructures throughout the Sanctuary, Serena and Trapper Sectors, and producing the new techs (in conjunction with producing current techs) for its combat forces. And yes, resources will have to be split between construction, production and research, only transferring most resources to either one of them.

As for the new techs, I got the whole idea inspired from TheBlueGuy 23's Pivot Alien Wars series, especially Seasons 2-4. That got me hooked up, of course, so I thought I'd take any Novayan-Kovunanto planetary battles up to eleven by going guns ablazing and glorious melee combat. Though, they won't be available until during the middle of the sixth battle.

So far, i'm having fun in the main thread...while also trying to calculate casualties, and trying to described a good space battle.
