Oh, and something... bigger... to end it all with. =^^=
As such, for the time being, please do (hopefully,) respect and note, that the entire region of the 'South-West' corner of the Milky Way Galaxy, around the C-Faction Systems, for an area of five hundred light-years all around, is deemed 'normally' impassible, due to a vast subspace shear schism in effect. The cause are apparently the planets in each individual system, and the shown map, is the last indicated composition of each system, which in of itself, is unusual indeed. =^^= (What, I need to say why 'now'? Patience good souls, patience.)
For now, I'm finally 'opening' up my nation to more aspects within NS FT, to place my nation 'finally', amongst the timeline they are hinged down on. Several threads may occur at the same time, placed at different 'unset' times in the timeline of the 'New Calm', as the Gaians themselves would put it. (Compared to what just happened and all, even mere 'war' events would be pale in comparison, no offense to any other NSer.)
I need to use these, to establish my current nation's makeup, develop character events, and set things up with other willing NS FTers, before the events that will close all this out, take place. All previous rp participants are on my mind, as well as others I've wanted to do so with for a long time. Might even go through with a little 'scuffle' with Chronosia, amongst others.
For now, a few development and theme threads to play around with, as well as 'cleaning up', the thread The Eternal Swarm started, to lock down things. As with all my rps, more and more as I realize it, I'd prefer things be hinged on plot more, than technical numbers, as what I have planned, goes past the term 'Unconventional', as I've seen such 'modding' claims coined, in OOC threads, as of late. As such, the more that are willing, as well as dealing with TGing and other communication methods, will help make things run more smoothly. (And my standards to respecting other NSers views should be well already noted. I'd ask for the same, to make this all work.)
In the meantime, I'll be developing new pages on my nation web portal, to detail out several new aspects, such as prominently, the Antaran Dimension, and why the heck it's so important, and how it was justifies such a large super empire could exist over multiple Universes at once. (A few bending of universal laws will be needed, but things will be explained. Worry not, this I promise.) Other stuff will be added, though most of what is on the site now, save for territory, is still valid of use here. (Fleet compositions and aspects are not the same, to be sure. But the hardware is mainly intact, where former C-Faction assets are concerned.) Anything of use will be pinned down to the logistics of 'cleaning up', after the wreckage of the Civil War, and all, so worries of overwhelming forces is going to be weighed down by this concern, for awhile. The TES thread is a rare exception to be honest.
And so from there, the next stage of Gaian existence begins. Might start with a small one ship lost on an PMT nation world or something, to work out from. And from there, fun fun fun. =^^=
EDIT: Chapters added as more threads involving the Civil War are added. Some chapters will contain multiple threads.
EDIT II: The original thread from Jolt, is moved here for easier tracking. (Hoping the old Jolt forums still exist long enough to keep the continuity of the previous chapters.)
EDIT III: Added new threads, some prologue chapters of the entire story of the journey to the event known as the Civil War, and also maps of the two sides, as of current.
EDIT IV: Read new stuff above. =^^=
EDIT V: I realize many of the links are now broken, and the map pages, are defunct. Anywho, I'm leaving everything, as is, for now, for coloration. Also realize, this Rp series set now, is less about battle, and more about 'finding one's final place', as far as my 'pantheon' goes, and all that. This is also about the consequences of a Space-Time power, that ends up 'scattered', after the chaotic effects, of the Second Exodus, why it happened, and the final fate, of the Ascendancy, and it's founder, all alike.
EDIT VI: Both Plan Alpha and Plan Beta threads are active. Both will 'merge' over time, so things make sense and all. At least in my own warped mind.
Now I really push the boundaries, of what this is all really about, once and for all. Hope everyone that participates/reads, enjoys the ride. It will be one. Hopefully, doing it right, will require a hanky, at times. ...and so...
