The Imperial Conflict (Closed-OOC)

[Eztobrughri]

This is set in a Universe alternate from Earth. Still, Eztobrughri exists in the Earth Year of 2022. Very near future. I advise only getting involved with rather advanced Future Tech, though.

Thanks!

No problem (:

By the way, what date with this RP start? Just curious.

If you mean when will it start, then I'll create the IC Thread after we get a few more members on wither sides of the War. But if we don't get anyone else by Wednesday/Thursday, I might just create it then.

[The Terran Concordium]

REIGNITE THE ANCIENT FLAME OF GLORY!
Nation Full Name: The Terran Concordium
Leader: Chancellor Vincent De Maser
Tech Level*: Pretty advanced FFT (somewhat below Multiversal Venn-Copard), with practically instantaneous FTL, inter-dimensional travel and heavy usage of antimatter based energy, propulsion and weapons
Military Size: 630 trillion active personnel, about a billion starships (don't get freaked out, not going to smother the systems in ships)

For this RP, the 999th Concordian Battlegroup comprising of 52 cruisers, 20 frigates and 5 dreadnoughts will be deployed.

A Concordium Marine detachment of the 11th Marine Division and a Valkyrie Company is accompanying the fleet.

Military Budget: 1.656e+30 IcR (2.3% of GDP)

---

IC

The Concordium has always paid close attention to things occurring within and without of its sovereign domain for its own rise to prominence within its own universe did not come by from ignorance but careful observation and planning. Now encompassing a significant portion of its own universe, everything is a possible threat. Therefore, when a galactic power is wracked by internal strife, the Concordium sees not pity but an opportunity. Aiding the rebel forces could prove to be a master stroke in casting down another potentiality to challenge the Concordium.

Accepted. The House of Imminent War poses a threat to us all-even the Eztobrughrian Houses.

[Luminumbra]

And I will be doing everything in my power to uphold that threat.

May the Empire live, and the ungrateful traitors crushed.

I have called in other members of my region, to hopefully join the loyalists.

If all goes well, the empire will see a swelling of support.

[The Terran Concordium]

Perhaps we should start the RP? More people can join as the RP progresses.

Yeah, waiting isn't doing much for anyone. I'll get onto making it!

Edit: It's here!: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=443191

[Shwe Tu Colony]

Should I post, or is my trade deal not relevant to this that I would need to maintain it in this roleplay?

[Eztobrughri]

Should I post, or is my trade deal not relevant to this that I would need to maintain it in this roleplay?

I'd say that, unless it has a significant weight on the war, no. Since you're trading with a neutral house, you probably shouldn't, but if you start trading with any of the houses on either side of the war, then it's up to you. So, in short, since your not affiliated with either side, I'd say it's best to stay out of it in your current place, unless you want to create some trade incident, like an Imperial Ship mistakenly destroying a Trader and then it erupts into war with the Emperor. So, it's up to you, I guess.

Well, Parfuhmerie (the nation Shwe Tu Colony's is supposed to be) uses portals to directly access physical marketplaces, but it is entirely possible for a spy/assassin/saboteur to try to enter Parfuhmerie, for whatever reason. They might try to trade with the other houses, but seeing that the others never responded & are engaged in active conflict, they really don't see much point in interacting with them. They can use portals to bypass most blockades, but it's still risky for whoever is stationed at the stores.

[Arkotania]

I don't plan to participate as a nation but I can have a contingent of exiled Monkars from the deposed Galactic Empire of Arkotania. It's currently a communist Grand Republic after the previous regime was taken down in a massive revolution with many of the Monkars, known as the Holy Monk Orders, having been wiped out and a few managing to escape.

NS Name: Arkotania
Faction: Loyalist
Organization Name: St.Tibr Order (known as Monkars in general when sainthood is irrelevant)
Leadership: Archmonk Xyondar Tibr Bellis
Military Contribution:
Flagship STO Regix (Command: Archmonk Xyondar Tibr Bellis, Crew Complement: 7,580 + 2,000 Droids)
>Flagship of the St.Tibr Order with Carrier capabilities equipped with standard Space-Displacement FTL
>>Offense: Grav Torpedos, Anti-Matter Torpedos, Turbolasers, Fighter Wing
>>>Defense: Ray Energy Shield, Quantum-Tempered Armor, Electronic Defense Systems
Cruiser-MS STO Valin (Command: Cardinal Musfad Allam, Crew Complement: 3,752 + 1,000 Droids)
>Missile Battlecruiser with focus on long-range enagement and equipped with standard Space-Displacement FTL
>>Offense: Swarm Missiles, Singularity Missiles, Fusion Missiles, Turbolasers
>>>Defense: Variable Energy Shield, Solar-Tempered Armor, Electronic Defense Systems
Cruiser-PE STO Eda (Command: Cardinal Henri Golaut, Crew Complement: 3,327 + 1,000 Droids)
>Energy Battlecruiser with focus on disruptive combat engagement and equipped with standard Space-Displacement FTL
>>Offense: Turbolasers, Superlasers, Ion Cannons, Resonator Beam
>>>Defense: Variable Energy Shield, Solar-Tempered Armor, Electronic Defense Systems
Destroyer-EE STO Parabel (Command: Legate Crisc Mzyk , Crew Complement: 2,443 + 500 Droids)
>Electronic Systems Destroyer focused on electronic warfare and electronic defense and equipped with standard Space-Displacement FTL
>>Offense: Turbolasers, Ion Cannon
>>>Defense: Pulsed Energy Shield, Alloy Armor, Electronic Counter-Attack & Defense Systems
Total Personnel: 17,102 + 5,000 AI Droids = 22,102

Summary: The St.Tibr Order was one of the few Monkars to manage to escape Arkotani space during the revolution, being spared from eradication though they suffered casualties in the process. Reduced to a considerably smaller size, the order and its new leader seeks to find a new home and one day return with a great force to combat the new regime in Arkotania. The St.Tibr Order has arrived to pledge their support of loyalists. The Monkars, while small in number, are heavily armed and every one of them is an elite soldier with durable power armor built with a basic CI(cybernetic Intelligence) system to aid in combat, communication, and strategy. They're not suited for direct head-to-head engagement against a larger force but their Space-Displacement FTL system allows them to "evaporate" and re-materialize in any part of known space almost instantaneously(albeit with a cool down period). Their ships also maintain a droid storage that can be activated to either serve in combat or handle operational tasks on the ship/surface.

May your Order return Stability, both to the Empire, and your Home. Accepted.

[Multiversal Venn-Copard]

So I don't really know anything about the location of the current events other than "the resistance is gathering around some moons"; nothing about where these moons are, what kind of system they're in (or if they're in multiple systems?) or anything like that.

Am I free to invent a location of one of these moons, or would you like me to use something more specific?

[Aeiouia]

LONG LIVE THE EMPEROR AND ETERNAL MAY HE REIGN!
Nation Full Name: The Collective of Aeiouia
Leader: "Mia"
Tech Level*: FFT/FanT, but highly inconsistent. Has a focus on durability above weaponry for the most part.
Military Size: Approximately fifty living vessels. Air and land creature numbers are highly variable and difficult to measure.
Military Budget: N/A, the Collective is effectively an Anarchy with no government system organized enough to fund a military.

Order of Battle:

"Zanthe", a young Monitor-Class Battleship.
"Therron", a Figment-Class Bomber.
"Fania", a Procne-Class Fighter.
"Cyrano", a Procne-Class Fighter.

Approximately 37 Light Land Forms (I still need to get this factbook up, but for the meantime these are basically extremely durable and extremely stupid main battle tank-like creatures).

Other notes: The Collective ship would be getting involved on the loyalist side for no reason other than the fact that there are more big, tasty metallic "Critters" on the rebel side. It likely would have no idea what is going on, and is probably not even capable of comprehending the politics behind it in the first place. So, essentially, the Emperor's forces would be nothing but allies of convenience to it.

[Eztobrughri]

Sorry everyone! I was really busy over the last few days, but I'm back up-and-running now!

Right, I never specified that. Well, sure, why not. Just keep in mind the majority of Rebel Houses are in the Northern region of Eztobrughri Space, and the Eastern Rim. (That large detached area of their territory.)

Hail the Collective! Accepted.

[Aeiouia]

Just as a note, with the appearance of a huge number of metallic ships from Luminumbra, the balance has been shifted to the point where the Collective ship that arrives will probably effectively be sided with the rebels now instead of the loyalists.

Sorry to change sides like that, but it would not make sense for it to attack the comparatively small number of rebel ships now. Not only that, but the composition of the "Magic-infused Tungsten/Adamantium" armor of Luminumbrian ships would definitely get its attention more. I just wanted to inform everyone OOCly because I do not want to essentially turncoat.

That's perfectly fine. Do as you must.

[Festung Prime]

OOC: My "Nation" is actually a post apocalyptic collection of warring states, sifting through the ruins of a once great civilization. For this RP, i would play as the Avventura Gloriosa Free Company, the only faction that really has a interest in Galactic affairs "and a significant space fleet" read more on them here https://www.nationstates.net/nation=fes ... id=1036225

Just a note, you shouldn't be able to detect the Desolate Existence since its a stealth ship. Also you may have not realised, but the Insidious Desire is only one of the five dreadnoughts, which are all of the same class.

I ****ing love my nation.

Btw, I totally forgot that my commanders had witnessed the Insidious desire's entering the combat zone--and not the desolate existence! I edited my above post, because I use those for continuity. Instead of a diversionary attack on the desolate existence while blocking the insidious desire, I have redirected the attack from desolate existence to the point defense systems of the insidious desire.

[The Terran Concordium]

Luminumbra, sorry if I sound condescending, but your latest post is a bit, overpowered and techwanky.

First off, your magic-infused armour is pretty bullshit (pardon my language, nothing personal, just the best way to describe it). By vaguely referring it to be "one of the strongest metals in the universe" and "being infused with magic and special particles", is not very helpful to your fellow RPers because you can simply negate whatever you want on the basis of it being magic, rather than science. This can be seen when you claim the armour can simply drain energy out of any reaction. This is poor RPing etiquette since you can basically godmod your way through most people's weapons, which are projectile-based. I think it would benefit you and us, and other RPers you may interact with in the future if you stepped it down a little, and provide a more realistic footing; e.g. instead of it simply negating and reducing energy (which scientifically is ludicrous because energy cannot be destroyed nor created, if you did, you would break the laws of physics), you could perhaps mention it is more effective against projectile weaponry, but not claim it simply blocks any and all projectile impacts.

A RPer by the name of Pordlandia once stated: "Magic is bad because people simply use it to ignore physics under the guise of 'it's magic so it can ignore most interaction with non-magic.'"

I have personally witnessed many RPers with similar style protection godmodding (one guy if I recall correctly had neutronium armour in multiple dimensions that dispersed projectiles) and they have been shunned out of future RPers because of an acquired reputation for godmodding. Again, I would like to reiterate, this isn't anything against you personally, I would just like to see you improve since you have great potential.

Secondly, I would like to give a general explanation on how antimatter works. When antimatter touches normal matter, transfers all matter into energy, meaning, when an antimatter shell hits one of those magic infused armoured plates, the matter that comprises the armoured plates that was in contact with the antimatter would transferred into energy (typically explosive but also large amounts of gamma rays), essentially removing the matter and turning it into energy, the stuff your armour is weak against. Your energy negating armour is useless against this. If you read my first post where I engaged in combat, my antimatter point defense systems took down several torpedoes through this method, where the antimatter annihilated with the torpedoes' matter, turning them into energy releases in the form of "small explosions".

So, considering all of this, I would like you to perhaps moderate your post a bit so it is more realistic and fair for all of us. Thanks.
