Masters of Andromeda III (New Horizons - The Shades of the Past)

[Lady Hawk]

Ok you know the score this a new Master of Andromeda thread. In this one everyone starts off as equal. No more toying around witgh the rules, this is going back to the good old days of the Original Rommey. Dont get me wrong this will be heavily combat orientated.

You will still have the flava of the missions and the glory ofdefeating enemies and building empires.

Engines

Each ship has only one type of engine so choose carefully. Your ship will only start off with one engine mount

Nuclear Drive - c 50 - x 150 energy units needs 1 add mount for radiation shielding

Fusion Drive - c 100 - x 300 energy units

Cold Fusion Drive - c 200 x 400 energy units

Ion Drive - c 200 - x 350 energy units

Plasma Drive - c 150 x 200 energy units very unreliable

Solar Draive - uses large sails to collect solar radiation - c50 x 150 energy units - exteremly fragile

Ram Scoop/Hydrogen Drive - c 100 - x 200 energy units only available on starships not bases

Phase Drive - c500 x 500 energy units experimental

Anti Matter Drive - c1000 x600 energy units - for true startrek fans this is the drive for you

Impulse Drive - c2000 x75o energy units - this is the best drive by far.

the following Jump/Hyperspace drives can be bought as additional mounts

Space Fold - c 200 - extra 100 energy - capapble of interstellar travel

Hyper Drive - c 300 - no additonal energy - but is best interstellar drive 100% relaible - most common

Warp Drive - as star trek - c 500 - fastest form of space travel - but ship needs external warp nassels

Linear Drive - experimental - c1000 - travel thru space as if surfing - can be used as a weapon

Trans Warp Drive - as star trek next gen - c 2000 - fastest form of space travel possible not as relaibel as warp drive prone to drive faliure but gives +300 energy units.

Phase Engine - gives 700 energy - highly experimental 50% chance of faliure - c 2500

Black Hole Generator - gives 600 energy - again experimental - uses a small black hole to generate the energy - also can be used as a weapon - c7000

Subspace Generator - this allows the ship to open a subspace conduit that allows a ship to cust travell time in half - this is experimantal and has a 25% chance of failure - c 9000

Slipstream Drive - as in Andromeda - this is a drive that allows a ship to slip into Hyperspace - this is the hardest drive to control as it needs a humanoid interface - only for the best helmsman - this also allows weapons and shields to bse boosted direct from the Drive itself. - c 25000

[Lady Hawk]

Hull Armour

Ships can have up to 2 hulls but each hull takes up and additional slot.

Additional Hull - this is Basic ship armour - just gives a second hull that strengthens the existing hull - c1000

Basic Hull Armour Plating - this is light armour - and provides some protection against weapons c1500

Medium Hull Armour Plating - this is slighlty better than the Basic and also allows the hull to be more streamlined. This means that this hull looks like the inner hull, this proviodeds 10% more resistance to energy weapons - c 2000

Heavy Armour Plating - this is the best - the NSC use this plating as ut provides the hull with 25% more restance to all Weapons. - c5000

Tritatanium Hull Armour - Advanced ship hull Armour, provides limited resistance to energy weapons and missiles - c2000

Polarised Hull Armour - resists lasers and other energy weapons - c 5000

Polarised Tritatanium Hull Armour - Resists Plasma based weapons and Kinetic Weapons 50% more - c5250

Ablative Armour - explosive armour effective against all weapons
c 5500

Reinforced Hull Armour - Medium Armour good all round protection - c 8000

Heavy Deutrium Armoured Hull - Energy weapons are only 50 % effective but missiles etc cause major damage + 25% - c 15000

Colapsium Armoured Hull - the best protection all round. - c 20000

Phased Colapsium Hull Armour - this is arguably the best hull protection against Electronic Warfare and all types of energy weapons - also has some cloaking properties against ships sensors - cloaking technology cannot be used with this hull - c30000

Bio Organinc Hull Armour - this hull armour is still highly experimental ans is used on board the MANTIS ships - it has the capability to learn against different weapons fire, as time progresses the armour becomes more resistant as it learns - it also regererates improving DAMAGE CONTROL by 150%. - c95000

Crystaline Armour - this is extremely experimental MANTIS armour, shields cannot be used with this armour. This armour absorbs most type of energy weapons and also missile weapons. it converts the damage to energy which is used by the ship for other systems. - c100000

the following only available at KIPYLON 5

Chrono Hull - this is not armour but is the basis for all Time Ship additions. This makes the ships hull sronger against the flux of time weapons and Time stress - only basic armours can be used with this hull - c200000

Chrono Armour - Advanced version of Polarised Hull Armour - has thje same protection as normal Polarised armour. but is also effective against Chrono Weapons - c150000

[Lady Hawk]

Ships can have as many Shields as they have mounts

Light - c 100 x1 sheild mount

Medium - c 500 x 2 sheild mount

Heavy - c 1000 x 3 sheild mounts

Neutron Shields - c500 - this is a breakthrough in shield design technology - they are light shields that provide adequate protection against most weapons - 2 to 1 shield mount - but must have the either of the Advanced Computer upgrades

Plasma Sheilds - c 2000 - resists most energy weapons but once down takes a long time to reactivate and can be used as a weapon - x 2 shield mounts

Medium Plasma Sheilds - c 3000 - resists most energy weapons but once down takes a long time to reactivate and can be used as a weapon - x 2 shield mounts

Kinetic Sheilds - c 2000 - good against missiles and other solid missiles - x 1 shield mount

Energy Sheilds - c 5000 - resists all energey weapons and redirects some of the weapons fired back to the ship - these tens to be standard amongst starfaring races. - x 4 shield mounts

Phase Shields - c 6000 - the best allround sheilds - x 2 sheild mounts

Meta Shielding - c 6000 - not so much a shield but more of an add on they boost sheild effeciency by 20% - ship needs some kind of shielding and any of the Advanced Computer upgrades - costs 1 shield mount or 1 additional mount

Meta-Phasic Shields -c 10000 - resists energy weapons and missile weapons - Plasma weapons are only 50% effective - Highly experimental - 75% that they will work - Allows the ship to operate in nebulas at full sheild effecincy and allows the ship to hide for a period of time in the corona of a sun - x6 shield mounts

Cloaking Shield - c 20000 - this is a MANTIS design - it is a shield that prevents sensors from penetrating and also allows a limited cloak that prevents it from being seen by some locking weapons - it also incorporates the very best of energy shielding and Kinetic shielding - costs 4 shield mounts and 1 additional mount - needs any of the advanced ships computer upgrades

Electromagnetic Shields - c 50000 - again a breakthrough in Andromeda House Tech. these sheilds use gravity and Electricty to difuse energy weapons and missiles. they are extremely effective. but they use a seperate Ion Drive to power them - 2 shield mounts +1 ion drive

Gravometeric Defence Grid - c 95000 - this is the latest in sheild tech, this uses gravity to create a barrier against missiles, and photon torps, also most energy weapons only do minimal damage. - tiese need 4 fusion generators to power them. - 10 shield mounts + 4 fusin drives

Vorlon Shields - c175000 - these are the shields that are incorporated in some of the older more powerful ships of the so called "elder" races. they cut damage done to them by upto 75%, and whats more they can be "knocked down" but they cannot be destroyed, they recharge themselves after a period of time. they also can be used with cloaking technology as well. - 10 shield mounts

the following is only available to Inspectre.

Chrono Shields - c175000- as phase shields - no other shields can be used with this upgrade - again protects as phase shields but also effective against Chrono Weapons - 6 turret mounts

[Lady Hawk]

Weapons

Phaser 5 - c 800 - this is the new Phaser used by the NSC and has been realesed by House Prime - this phaser is heavier and is 25% more effective than normal - uses 4 turret mounts and 1 additional mount must have the advanced Tactics Computer

Bio Phaser 6 - c10000 - this is the latest in Phaser Technology a living weapon that learns. It has an improved 50% hit rate as this weapon locks on the life signs of the ship - ie the crew - uses 8 turret mounts 2 addiotinal mounts and must have the Bio Organic Hull armour - 4 Posts to Charge

Particle Phaser 7 - c20000 - this weapon is the ultimate Phaser, can fire at any angle 360 degrees this weapon draws power direct from the Space Warp Engines or whatever space drive you have. truly a devatsing weapon - 10 turret mounts - 3 Posts to Charge

Phased Particle Phaser 8 - c 50000 - this is better than the ultimate phaser () it can fire at any angle 360 degrees this needs its own Fusion Drive to power it. Most shields cannot stand its power. this can destroy Police Cruisers with a single balst. - 15 turret mounts

Light Blaster Cannon - c500 - 2 to 1 turret mount - this is the standard weapon seen in most sci-fi movies eg like starwars - this weapon throws bolts of explosive light around and has a funky sound effect just like the movies

Medium Blaster Cannon - c2000 - 2 turret mounts - this is a heavier version with a longer range and 20% more accuracy than the other two.

Heavy Blaster Cannon - c4000 - 4 turret mounts - this little baby packs a devastating punch and has the longest range - this also has the effect that this weapon can also target fighters as well

Twin Blaster Cannon - c6000 - 5 turret mounts this is the same as the medium blaster cannon but with twice the range and twice the punch

Quad Blaster Cannon - c10000 - 5 turret mounts + Advanced Ships Computer and Targeting Computer upgrades - this is the baby seen in Star Wars and is the weapon of the millenium falcon - it fires 4 blaster bolts in rapid fire - this weapon is unique as it never overheats and has the rapid fire option (this makes the cost 20000c) making this a true multi purpose weapon

Phased Hellbore Cannon - c 5000 - 5 turret mounts - a modified hellbore cannon that cuts sheilds by 50% the ultimate in breaching shields

Disruptor Cannons - c 500 - particle weapon - x 2 turret mounts

Fusion Cannons - c 1000 - heavy beam cannon but uses a lot of energey - x 3 turret mounts

Mass Driver - 10 turret mounts - only available to vessels from the Light Cruiser upwards it throws huge rocks coverd with plasma toward its targets and is a spinal mount good for planetary assaults and kicking ass - this weapon was designed and upgraded by ADMIRAL ZAPPA - c 10000

Particle Cannon - c 3000 - this is the standard weapon of the MANTIS ships - it fires a beam of high energy Particles that can cut thru most shields (this is the Armour Peircing beam weapon of this game) - uses 8 turret mounts and 2 additional mounts - 3 Posts to charge.

Reflex Cannon - c10000 - this is the weapon of choice of the SILVA - it uses the ships Space Drives to create a stream of powerful energy capable of ripping a small moon apart, few ships can survive a hit by this weapon, its chance of hitting though is the worst of all weapons and it has a very slow charge rate - uses 10 turret mounts + must have the advanced ships computer upgrade and must have warp drive of one kind ar another - 3 Posts to charge

Electro Pulse Gun - c 5000 - these babies are the old death ray guns from the black and white films of the early 1950's. Still a good weapon they hurl bolts of Electricty at the ship, they have the combined effects of damaging shields and ships systems. - 2 turret mounts

Laser Cannon - c100 - this is the basic weapon that can be found on old ships, still effective today - 4 to 1 turret mount

Gatling Laser - c300 - this is a rapid fire version of the above, about 10 shots can be fired - 2 to 1 turret

Battle-Laser - c500 - this is a laser weapon comparable with the Phaser Technology more powerful this weapon has the longest range of any other energy weapon bar the reflex cannon. - 1 turret mount

Particle Laser - c1500 - this is by far the best longest range laser cannon it has a 150% accuracy rate. - 2 turret mounts

Particle Array - c 18000 - this is more of a weapons upgrade, you need light weapons (2 turret mounts or less) and this little beauty will connect all the light weapons in to one defence/attack grid, this increases the damage done by the weapons by 50% also has the effect of an AFD II and AMD II. - 10 turret mounts + the Advanced Ships Computer upgrade.

Neutron Cannon - c 6000 - this is a weapon that fires a stream of neutrons at the target, this is a very reliable weapon and is one of the best short range weapons. - 1 turret mount

Heavy Neutron Cannon - c10000 - this weapon is the same as above and has a longer range and does more damage. 4 turret mounts

Anti Matter Cannon - c 55000 - this weapon is one of the first of a new breed of Super weapon. this fires two beams of Matter and Antimatter energy. where the two beams collide there is a G*D almighty explosion. this weapon only has a medium range but is good at taking out swarms of fighters or close packed ships. - 10 turret mounts and must have either Warp Drive/Trans warp/ Linear drives to use.

Tractor Beam Mk20 - c 10000 - yes at long last you can now grab ships and other things and tractor them on baord or you can use them as a point defence system to stop missiles. - 4 turret mounts

Tractor Beam Mk40 - c15000 - a stronger and more powerful version of the above - 6 turret mounts

the following is only available at KIPYLON 5

Chrono Phaser 1 - c 10000 - light Time beam weapon - standard - x 4 turret mount

Chrono Phaser 2 - c 20000 - medium Time beam weapon - x 6 turret mounts - 2 Posts to charge

Chrono Pulse Cannon - c 60000 - this is the time weapon vesrion of the normal pulse cannon - 10 turret mounts

Chronoton Torps - c 55000 - 10 torps to a launcher - this is the lastest in torpedo technology, these beasts are slow and easy to shoot out of the sky. but boy when these babies hit....... - 8 turret mounts

Chronoton Mines - c10000 - 5 mines to a launcher - yes the time version of the standard cobalt mines - 8 turret mounts

Time weapons take 1 post to fully charge for only one shot apart from the CPH 1 which can fire 2 shots before recharging. they cut thru most normal shelds and displace parts of the ship they hit - ie they do notr exist.

Main Story Line

the lone war frigate with no markings makes its way thru the vastness that is Hyperspace

hooded figure - Capt how long till we emerge?

Capt - a human - According to the information you have given us..... about 3 hours, are your sure these are the co-ordinates according to space nav comps there are no planets this far outr let alone any inhabited ones and there are no star systems.

the hooded figure looks at the captain

HF - you dare question me......?

Capt - Wha.........gasp gasp gurgle gurgle

*SNAP*

HF - lets his hand down and then looks at the rest of the crew.....

HF - You girl, come here

SO - yyyyyess?

HF - you are the new Capt YOU will not let me down will you?

SO now Capt - No Sir - beads of sweat can be seen on her forehead

Time passes

again the ship glides thru the vast empyness that is hyperspace and then it begins to slow, a large blue wormhole appears before it as it emerges into normal space on the edge of a vast 72 planet starsytem

SO - scanning ..... this is impossible.... the starsyetm of that size should not be here... but yet the scanners and the screens cannot lie.

HF - to no one in partcular - At last the legendary system of ARABAN, at last if the legends are true i shall find him and his lost Starmarda.......

Capt - er sir?

HF - WHAT??????????????..... oh yes scan for signs of life on the 43rd planet. an ICE planet with 7 moons

SO - how.......what......er yes there are signs of life on that planet......

Comms - whispers - how did she know?

No1 - helm take us in

Helm - aye sir

the lone vessel then glides thru the star system at full impulse toward the 43rd planet

Time passes

HF - Clear the Bridge - this is not a request

although none of the crew hear this - as it is not spoken - they all leave the bridge.

HF - goes to the Comms station - My lord SETU KAIBA can you hear me, it is I your faithful servant AKUMA. I have returned and I have the key, please signal me

HF waits at the comms for what seems like an eternity and then

SK - I hear you my faithful servant now blast the ice from my prison and release me

SETU KAIBA - FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lady Hawk]

50 years ago the legend began........

The Erridanni Sector - CENTER ONE the native name of this system is now lost, and only remeberd by the name CENTER ONE. This sector is situated 1250 light years from Galactic core on an UNSTABLE WORMHOLE NEXUS.

Legends say that Center One gave rise to all civilisation in the Galaxy this came under the name THE SYSTEMS COMMONWEALTH.
A combination of systems, original inhabitants, and numerous visitors from other systems and some say other galaxies, who trapped by the NEXUS chose to stay there rather than gamble with is unknown nature and science. In this way the old order came into being and gave rise to all the races now known off in the galaxy.

The nexus was a curious affair - a single point that orbted Center ones Star (this is refered to as Solarus - the first sun) in a highly elliptuical orbit. This point gave the Systems Commonwealth its roving power. This Wormhole nexus when the so called GRAVITON DRIVE was invented allowed ships to appear anywhere in the galaxy the Systems Commonwealth was supreme.

The presecece of the Nexus accelerated the natural aging process of Solarus but at such a slow rate as to go unnoticed by the local astrophysicists. Only when Center ones ruling factions determined that the best solution was to send criminals on a one way trip thru the nexus "for scientific" purposes did the degeneartion become evident.

Thousands of massive EXILE ships were sentr in this manner carrying the so called Exiles with them. This heavy usage of the nexus led to its own increased instability and through that the rapid aging of the star to NOVA status a few billion years to early, the COMMONWEALTH faced destruction.

Thus began the Super Dimension Fortress Program (see prev Andromeda Pirates for the outcome of this little saga). the Commonwealth also sponsored other programmes to create giant ships that could travel thru the NEXUS. Ironically following the outcasts that they themselves had condemmed.

Other independant factions also worke on their own to create similar ships. 1000's were launched before Center One fiannly vanished into the myths of time some say that it was destroyed.... or was it?

Future Historians would speculate on the precise location of Center One, many planets and solar systems being offered as the so called location and even so called proof being presented.

However more pressing events put studies on hold untile they too became nothing more than fodder for authors of speculative fiction.

It is now 3739 AE (after Erridani)

75 years since the discovery ofthe Darkspace in 3689 AE

80 years since the Skirmish Wars 3654 - 3659.

170 years since the LONG NIGHT that saw the destruction of the Systems commonwealth..... AT THE HANDS OF THE INSECTIDS

Time has passed and things have changed, there is now a new world order.

That new world order arose out of a need - THE NEW SYSTEMS COMMONWEALTH was a tyranny and ws taken out by certain independant so called pirate houses that fought with them to the bitter end in some cases.

Out of the ashes of the old came the new standard, a founding of 2 great houses and the survivors of the NSC. The two houses involved

HOUSE ANDROMEDA - SHADOW
HOUSE ASANAWA
AND THE NEW SYSTEMS COMMONWEALTH

BECAME THE FEDERATION

the ruling federation council

LORD ANDROMEDA
LADY SHADOW
LORD NIGHTRAIN
LORD PLANETKILLER II
LORD ZAPPA
SHOGEN NO DACHI
LORD HEWITT

surpirse

Meanwhile a Dark force spread across other star systems and this so called "EMPIRE" became a great force and an uneasy truce was forged by the Federation with this EMPIRE as it was based on old friendships

this Empire is the KIPIRE

the current leader is one man who built all this up by himself from humble beginnings

EMPEROR J-KAMA-KA-C

But his right hand man is the dread dark lord

LORD FLUFFIE - a man that is to be feared.

Yet another small faction rose out of the ashes, some say that they moved forward in time to avoid the so called main war. They are small but provide a home to those who fear the Federation or hate the Kipire.

They have no house name but they used the mysterious Technology that can be found... Mainly SHADOW TECH or CHRONIAN TECH. Most of the chroninans actually joined this "house" when they learned they could not get back

LORD JULIAN (INSPECTRE)

One captain took it upon himself to recruit nothing but women for his crews and soon he became the leader of a new SLAVING HOUSE that took all women and freed them and made men their sex slaves so that they could breed - this new HOUSE is HOUSE AMAZON its leader (and chief pervert)

LORD CRAZYBOY

one Captain was thrown light years across the galaxy and made a home for himself. He was unorthodox in his appraoch and loved women almost as much as Crazy. He now owns the most advanced Space Station in the Galaxy (this one that is) and now has access to its shipdrive that allows him to visit the ERRIDANNI SECTOR for a breif period.

LORD TOE "THE SMELLY" JAM


other people made their names, :-

ADMIRAL ACID-K - made his name as a resepctable Merchant Captain who delivers most (65%) of the cargo in both the empires and made a small fortune for himself.

his home in the Shraan Sector of space.

PROFESSOR JESSE - she became the cheif scientist of the Federation and the Kipire she remained neurtral but was considerd the best scientist that had been born in recent times.


DATELINE - THE PRESENT 3739 AE (after Erridanni).

The Sector of Space known as ERRIDANNI SECTOR is now under civil war. There are 3 Factions fighting for control of this area of space.

THE INSECTIDS

these are quiet at the moment and the people of SHRAAN who watch the borders of INSECTID space have not seen anything for 40 years. Most of the Border planets of the AREA OF THE WATCH (a bit like the neutral zone in star trek) report no activity in INSECTID SPACE

THE COMBINED SYSTEMS CONFEDERATION.

this is the new/old name of those worlds that used to be of the Old Systems Commonwealth and those that survived the SKIRMISH WARS and hate both the KIPIRE and THE FEDERATION. They are Xenophobic and fight to the death. They seek the old technology of the FABLED STAR LEAGUE WORLDS.

THE KIPIRE & FEDERATION

both these two empires formed an alliance against the CSC and seek to destroy all ships and conquer all their worlds. Also the KIPIRE & FEDERATION are the leaders in new technology and seek to bring peace thru out the sector.

THE DEVRAN IMPERIUM

These are the new CHRONO & BORG human/drones that now inhabit over 300 worlds of the sector, their ships are THE MOST ADVANCED in ROMMEY. These ships are capable of TIME PHASING and are virtually undetectable. They seek to conquer

THE PAST
THE PRESENT
&
THE FUTURE

They must be stopped.

It is in this scene of war that you the new breed of captains seek to make your way. The Days of the Houses are long past. The days of the Empires seem numbered. And now everyone seeks the Technology of the OLD ONES, those who came before..... THE MIGHTY STAR LEAGUE - this race of aliens that breeched the DARK SPACE and created THE WORMHOLE NEXUS.....(where ever hat may lie) and the ones who left behind clues to the advanced technology that they possesed.

[Lady Hawk]

ENEMIES CURRENTLY KNOWN

THE COMBINED SYSTEMS CONFEDERATION

These are the remenants of the worlds that survived the LONG NIGHT of 121 years ago.

Out of the ashes arose the NEW SYSTEMS COMMONWEALTH and these when the NSC was destroyed became the NSR.

they are a powerful force in what is known as the ERRIDANNI SECTOR. there home world is as yet unknown. the leader of the NSR as they are commonly known is EMPERESS SERENA HUNT. she is basically an egotistical maniac with delusions of grander.

the power of the CSC is quite formidible they have 3 STARMARDAS and they have many enemies. But they have a few allies as well

THE MANTIS

THE SILVA

THE BORG

THE ALYSSIANS

From them they have their own Technology, their ships look like the Ships from BATTLESTAR GALACTICA. The new CSC ships are capable of taking huge amounts of damage due to new Technology and new shields.

they favour the KIPIRE hulls now and as such they have over 23000 of these ships in service.


THE BORG (old style)

In the later years of the THE STORM WARS the BORG became established and eradictaded by LORD ZAPPA and LORD NIGHTRAIN in the ERRIDANNI SECTOR due to an Alien - an Arkonide - by the name of K.

They used to inhabit what was HOUSE PRIME SPACE.

this race is the one from STAR TREK and they have all their TV counterparts Strengths.

What is known

they have multi phasic shields resistant after 1 or 2 shots from ships weapons.

they can adapt in the space of 1 post to almost any technology

the can regenerate their ships so long as their at least 10 borg alive - the more there are the quicker they can repair.

Their weapons can destroy the most powerful shields.

PRIME SPACE IS CONSIDERED TO BE OFF LIMITS TO UNTRAUINED CREWS

Also thier ships are very noticable, they are the fastest in the ANDROMEDA UNIVERSE and have a unique drive that so far has eluded even the best R & D to recreate it.

there ships look like flying piles of scrap metal in wierd shapes - noticably

SPHERES
CUBES
PYRAMIDS.


THE MANTIS

these are the race that look like the ALIENS out of the ALIENS movies, in reality they are a cross between them and the PREDATORS. This is one mean race with a XENOPHOBIC attitude to anyone. It has been even known that they have turned on the NSC Allies.

They have a hive like mentatlity and are more like ants in this respect. their attitude is to overwhelm the enemy with vast numbers. But thier ships are the hardest ships in the known universe - they actully grow them and they are BIO ORGANIC - some have said that they are the ancestors of the SPECIES 8472 that has been discoverd by the eminent PROFESSOR JESSE (really a pirate captain )

they are ruthless and fight to the death, and their ships always mostly self destruct to avoid capture.

their ships look like vast bug ships (see Space Marines the Movie of Series to get an idea) their weapons are the most feared in the known universe - THE BIO PHASER and PARTICLE PHASER - their technology allows this weapon TO BE FIRED EVERY TURN.

they use phaser tech mainly on their ships - what is also known is that energy weapons have little effect on them.

As a side note REFLEX WEAPONS HAVE NO EFFECT ON THE MANTIS as does HELLBORE WEAPONS.

However missile weapons do have devastaing effect - the Current expert on the MANTIS is SHOGEN NO DACHI.

DANGER RATING - EXTREME



THE SILVA

Little is known of the SILVA, save from the reports of he destroyed ships of SHADOW275 a pirate capt who had two encounters with this race. Both were catastrpohic. Each encounter fifnshed with him loosing ships (DM artistic licence here).

they are known to live either near or in NEBULAE and other SPACE ANOMALIES - they live on DEMON CLASS PLANETS. they have never been seen as a race so little is known what they look like.

their ships are known to travel in Sqdrns of 7 and all are Police cruiser sized - but from the reports of the SO on Shadows ships reprted that they had the firepower of Strike Cruisers. Also their ships can shape shift to bigger craft - to what size is not known this only takes 1 POST to do.

their ships are sliver in colour and look like the ships called Flyig Saucers on Earth (typicaly Cigar shaped)

these ships are damned fast and utilise the fastest Sublight Drive in the Andromada Universe. Altough their ships little is known of. What power source they use is unknown and what weapons they have is unknown.

Rumoured weapons seem to be a fondness for PARTICLE WEAPONS and LASERS.



THE CHRONIANS (old style)

They are from the future and were a peacful race until the NSC stole their prized CHRONO TECH. then the CHRONO WAR erupted and is still being fought today in the


Past

Present

Future


they do not like anyone who has their technology but have sufferd a major set bak and they lost a few ships and Sqdrns in the STORM WARS to the pirate Capts who were greedy for their Technolgy.

In the past 25 years they have upgraded their ships and now thje do not use conventional weapons anymore they use soley TIME WEAPONS. as they know their is NO KNOWN DEFENCE AGAINST THEM.

they have a leader who is little known of since the current leader has passed away - rumours are abound that the leader is a woman who was known in this time frame.

The Time Ships of the Chronians look like the Mimbari ships from Babylon 5 but are jet black in colour.

It is also rumored that the Time shields of the Chrobians now include VORLON TECHNOLOGY.

the current expert on CHRONIANS is LORD INSPECTRE....

Who they class as PUBLIC ENEMY No1

[Lady Hawk]

replys doing shortly

Harkun, planet of legends, intergalactic trade centre and the seat of the Asanawa Shogunate's military power. The world which was lost and then found once more by the Shogun. The world that less than half a century ago was devoid of intelligent life, and today was a bustling city world with one of the largest populations of any planet in either galaxy. Countless millions of people, citizens of the Empire, live in its gigantic high towers and work in its thriving markets and industrous foundries. Over a hundred thousand of the elite Samurai Marine Corps stand ready to repel invasion from the ground, and an entire fleet of the Imperial Navy, its men some of the finest in existence, stand ready to repel invasion from the skies. The city that now covered much of the planet's surface was not only functional and capable of housing the planet's massive populance, but it was also incredibly beautiful, Chusa No Dachi thought to himself as he sat in the hold of the transit shuttle, preparing for a short flight to one of the massive Orbital Stations where his ship, the Shikinami, was berthed along with its two fellow task force warships, the Ariake and the Tokitsukaze - an example of the Imperial Navy Research Department's latest class design. The Orbital in question was a civilian one - with the number of Asanawa Clan warships in the system since Sar Ai's apparent treachery the military Orbitals were out of berthing places - and so the shuttle that the Third Shingen was taking up to the Orbital was also civilian. As such, No Dachi was dressed in a typical day-to-day kimono rather than in the somewhat more practical naval military uniform, which he would change into once aboard the station. Both his katana and wakizashi were sheathed, with the bamboo sheaths themselves thrust through the silk sash running around his waist. These two swords showed him as some kind of military man to any Shogunate citizen, since only samurai, the warrior class, were allowed to carry them. In the Third Shingen's right hand was a long, thin package wrapped in the finest midnight-blue (the Federation's colours) silk. This was a gift to Commander Planetkiller from the Shogun himself, a sign of great honour in the man's fighting alongside the Third Shingen in battle. A katana and a wakizashi, both crafted by one of Harkun's finest swordsmiths, which were to be given to the Federation officer. Not only did the gift of the two swords grant the man the privelages of a samurai when he was in Imperial territory, but also they were both formidable weapons, made from advanced alloy folded no less than fourteen times to create millions of fibre-thin layers, the layers that gave samurai blades their incredible durability and strength. Perhaps, thought the Third Shingen, Commander PK, as a geijinn, would not quite appreciate the honour, or indeed wear the blades, but nonetheless he had most certainly earned them. The shuttle was crowded with civilians, who apparently took him for a normal naval officer rather than the heir of the Shogun, for after nodding politely they did no more than settle down and wait for the shuttle to depart. No Dachi did not mind this, for he found the way that citizens who did recognise him fell to their knees and put their foreheads to the ground most tiresome...

Presently the pilot announced their imminent departure, and with the drag of G-force upon its passengers, the shuttle lifted off into the sky. Once more, the Chusa considered Harkun III's extraordinary beauty. The pillar-like towers arranged with the utmost presicion to allow sunlight to reach even the ground, all of gleaming, pure white stone. The Shogun had been insistent upon the mass migration to the planet that its natural beauty was to be preserved at all costs. The immense wealth of the Empire's holdings had allowed this to be so. Its fusion engines burning brightly, the shuttle lifted first out of the atmosphere, then, rotating slightly to generate gravity, glided its way to the station. Within ten minutes, No Dachi was walking through one of the Orbital's thousands of corridors toward his ship, now dressed in uniform befitting his rank, but still carrying the gift and still with both of his own swords. As he approached the elevator that would take him down to the docking terminal at which his ships were berthed, No Dachi produced his personal communicator and punched in the military frequency code for Commander PK's bridge. After a few moments, the Coms Officer appeared on its tiny screen, then the Third Shogun began to speak.

"Greetings, Coms Officer. I am just approaching my flagship now, we will be ready to depart within five minutes. Please apologise to Commander Planetkiller on my behalf. Also, please inform him that I carry a gift to him from my father. That will, perhaps, do something to placate his natural irritance at my unnaceptable lack of punctuality..." Said the Chusa, keeping his tone friendly and relatively informal, since with geijinn it was not necessary to observe the many strict courtesies and formalities of Asanawa Clan Shogunate society...

---

More later. Consider all three of my ships launched and ready to depart, with my char going by assault shuttle to deliver the swords.

*PK stood by the airlock, waiting to recieve his comrade. Since they still had a little time, he'd managed to organise a small honour guard of Pyrians. When ND steps from the pressurised chamber, twenty plasma rifles move to form an impresive arch for the captain to walk through.*

"Captain, it is good to see that you made it. I have no irritation now that I know we'll be destroying some traitors shortly."

*When presented with the dual blades, PK's eyes widen. He draws the the katana from its scabard, giving a few testing movements with it and appriciating the craftsmanship.*

"Truely a beautiful weapon. I'm honoured to accept it. Since we want to get underway as fast as possible, perhaps you'd like to have a tour round the new and improved Striker during the first leg of the journey?"

*Whether or not ND accepts PK moves to the bridge (after bidding a courteous fairwell if ND declines) and orders the jump into lightspeed.*

[Ur_Quan]

LH, I'm having a very busy weekend. I'll try to squeeze in my reply, but I'm not sure I can manage it.

[Wo2]

[ooc] I've added more troops. Oh and put me on the mission with either no, or fewest people. I can't remeber which it is, which is why i'm asking you. If it's in progress, i'll jump in and help. [/ooc]


*Wo2 sat down in his new chair and shifted uncomfotably.*

Wo2: Hows your chair Rakia? Mine still gonna need breaking into.

Rakia: Same here it would seem. I'll never get used to how much bigger this ship is.

Wo2: I agree. Status?

EO: All systems check out.

SO: Everything's fine here

BO: Um... well... Plants are fine sir.

Darius: All weapons are in the green.

MD: My med center is fine.

Helm: Engines are idleling

Wo2: Status on the troops?

Comm: The last of them are aboard now. Were working on getting thme unpacked. The new divisons you ordered will take a little longer.

Wo2: We can wait. Contact the station, ask command of our mission.

Comm: Aye sir.

so is this a continuation of the previous thread, or are we really going to have to start over again??

[Lady Hawk]

continuation - would i be that evul

[Zappa Tenderlea]

honest?

or do we have to tell you what you want to hear?

[flapjack]

well, yes, definately that evil, you can be.

please be nice, let me keep my beautifull stuff and make that concordat disappear

please?

*Cid doesn't let the Alyssian get time to teleport out or do anything before he spoke. Dispite the massive images of their ships, Cid still spoke calmly and, now, with a little smile across his face.*

Cid: I beleive we may have a deal, we are here on behalf of the Shraan on a hunt of the C'raask within nearby space. Any support you may give is greatly accepted. Kosaga!
No1: Yes Sector Commander!
Cid: See to it that the schimatics of kylithium is put on a disk.
No1: Sir!

*Cid grabbed Kosaga and pulled him to one side, whispering harshly in his ear.*

Cid: We are low on allies in these dark times, what would you have me do? Throw away a friendship between Shraan and all those that hate the C'raask? Give him the schimatics, that is a direct order, Commander!

*Kosaga clicked his heels and began to set a load of orders for the SO and the Comms officer. Cid's No1, Kosaga, returned shortly with a small disk.*

No1: Sector Commander Cid, we have all information about Kylithium, including known effectiveness and possible scientific experiments.
Cid: I really should see a copy of that myself Very good Commander

*Cid turns to the Alyssian.*

Cid: This disk will provide you with all the information we have on Kylithium. I am sure this will be adequet.

[Ur_Quan]

* Bogg looked from his SO to his No1 and grinned: "A convoy, eh? It must be our lucky day!"
WO: "Captain, until we know what ships are in the convoy and what they're carrying, I recommend that we try to take out these ships as fast as possible, quickly in and quickly out."
No1: "She has a good point, captain. Speed is of the utmost importance here. Apart from that, we may take some damage and won't be able to defend ourselves to the best of our capabilities. However if our plans with the space staion succeed, then I may know of a way to deal with the convoy, provided the station is not too heavily damaged."
Bogg: "Very well, tell me about your plans later, right now, we've got a different battle on our hands."
No1: "Right you are, captain."

Bogg: "Alright, let's go through this assault one more time, shall we? While the Redshift and Blueshift draw the stations attention by telling them they're CSC sympathisers and request to dock with them, Commander McQuirk and we sneak up on the station under cloak. If all goes well, the station will not raise its shields and once we're close enough, we will decloak and McQuirk will immediately fire his EMP guns and ion cannons as well as some EMP missiles at the station's bridge. This will make them helpless for a long enough amount of time for us to launch our assault pods with troops at the station's bridge."
WO: "That is correct, captain."
Bogg: "Ok, and once our troopers have secured the bridge, they will lock down all other sections and perform a stationwide sweep area by area to eliminate enemy presence and take over the station to make it serve us."
WO: "Yup, that's the plan."

* Bogg nodded with approval for a moment and then frowned as he seemed to realise someting: "Apart from some missiles all the EMP weapons are on The Frivolous Rainbow, so we're not going to fire at the station, are we?"
No1: "We'll only fire regular weapons on the station if they're not fully disabled. Apart from that, we'll position ourselves between the station and the other enemy ships to prevent them from targetting our assault pods with any long distance weapons they might have. Our Particle Array should be able to deal with any missiles that may be launched at them, but my guess is that the enemy ships will be investigating the anomaly and will therefore be too far away from the station to undertake any immediate action against our surprise attack."
Bogg: "Ahh yes, the anomaly; paradise on a demon class planet. How ironic! We'll investigate this anomaly once we get the opportunity. Perhaps we can make some money out of it."
SO: "Captain, I bet that the CSC has information about this anomaly on that space station. If I could get my hands on that, it would help considerably."
Bogg: "Very well. Commander Redbock, we'll soon be dropping out of hyperspace. Resistance on the space station will be minimal. However, should you run into difficult situations, you're free to use any means necessary to gain control of that station, but try to keep damage at a minimum."
MC: "Aye Sir! You can count on us!"
Bogg: "Comms, message the other ships that they have their orders and from now on we'll maintain communication silence until we're through with the plan."
Comms: "Aye captain, messages sent and confirmed!"

* Several minutes later the two scoutships and the two cloaked warships enter the CSC system.

[Lady Hawk]

hopefully will get to dm tomorrow at least some of the thread - sript deadlines are tight at the moment

That thing attacking us? Do we know it's there?

[Bakan]

*Pulls out the BUMP STICK and taps the thread with it.*

*BUMP*

[Fluffie]

Bumpety bumpy buuuuummmpp woooo!

[Bakan]

Bump bump bump!!!

WEEHAW!

[Fluffie]

We're not spammers, really!

* Five-second-later-bumping.

[Bakan]

Of course we are not, but we are SOOOOOOOO bored watching static 3D omages of our ships float in midair......

Ignore the time similarities of the posts.

[Fluffie]

You actually see your ship?

...wow.

And I thought I was addicted :\

(I don't dare think of ships since LH BRUTALLY MURDERED MY CONCORDATS! THE FIEND! )

[No Dachi]

When I read Rommie battles my mind tends to show images from old Homeworld 2 encounters.

Like my mighty fleet lining up against Inspectre's mighty fleet (both maxed out on all units, since this was before I developed tactics like attacking and such) and in the opening volley there must have been about two thousand casualties. He won in the end though :/

[Fluffie]

Aaww...

And I don't dare do such stuff anymore. Brings tears to my eyes.

Thinking of it...

* Fluffie runs away all of a sudden.

[Lady Hawk]

hopefully this weekend

[Roadkill]

Capt. Roadkill stands at the view port and looks out among the endless aray of stars that are set before him and longs to return to but he knows that after his return to the bridge of a Battleship, but he knows that after the court marshal he will never be able to stand on a military ship again. He cringes at the thought of flying cargo through the galaxy as a simple trader of goods, never again seeing the thrill of combat, or the adrenaline run through his body. But with the hearing minutes away, Capt. Roadkill had to make a choice, and do it now...

Roadkill turned away from the window and began walking and found he was not alone, he had an armed escort to take him to the court room where he was to hear his final verdict in which he already kne the outcome. Moments away from the courtroom, they passed the airlock and this was the Captains only chance and he knew it....

In a flury that neither gaurd expected nor was prepared for, Roadkill extended his arm and with a swift chop to the throat felled one gaurd and with a fierce kick to the head, disabled the other gaurd, dropping him to the floor. After checking to make sure both men were still alive, Capt. Roadkill raced through the airlock to the awaiting ship where he knew what he had to do...

He would never be allowed back to the Fleet nor would he ever be able to follow the orders of the pompous old men who gave him the orders and for that he was glad, swiping his keycard to the security access panel, he eerged onto the hangar and picked a ship at random and ran up the entry bay and through the ships catacombs of hallways until he was at the bridge...

by now, there was some comotion aboard the spacestation and he knew why, so without haste, he started up the ships engines and threw it into as fast as was safely possible and got as far away from the space station as he could before engaging what was obviously the linear drive and came out somewhere in the galaxy he did not yet know where...

One thing was certain, Capt. Roadkill was from this day forth.... a Space Pirate

space ship needed

[Fluffie]

if he/you want(s) a random ship due to having stolen one, i can fix you up with one...
i'll keep to the 150,000 / 100,000 c limit should there so be wished by LH
and it'd have linear drive.. seeing your starting post...

[Roadkill]

Think I'll try some sort of Cargo ship, the largest i can "buy" i guess seeing as how I'm still not clear on how much money i have...

Battle Frigate 1: El Dorado

Battle Frigate 2: Shangri La

*Slowly raising herself from the jumbled heap, she stretches and chews air in a groggy fashion. Her head felt heavy, it might have been the force of the rattling explosion, or probably the extra weight of her new jaw.

"Ouch..."
*She said plainly and returned to the command chair.

"Report... alright, move in fast, engines full ahead. Signal to the frigates, at least they won't be as shaken as our bridge. Have them maneouver through the moon debris, we already have that edge of the cube, I intend to take full advantage, with their current engine trouble we can run circles around them and the rocks out there. El Dorado, Shangri La, come about sharp, full strafe run across the cube's near-face, rapid fire, galting lasers maximum speed!

Weapons, good job on swift recharge, now lets get the rest of the power back from the Satalite system and into super weapons, charge the the heavy fusion cannons. Prepare anti missile defences, the borg aren't going to be happy

Helm, I know we may not manage all the grace the frigates can, but there's no way we can be out maneouvered by that half chewed out Borg box in a debris field. Swing us around here.."
*She gestures to a sizable chunk of moon rock drifting between them and the Borg[/i]
"and bring us out high to bombard the cube."

"Think we can make it back into the denser parts between the return volley, go ahead and tuck us back to safety.

Engine room, I hope the tractor beam can be configured again, we may need it sooner than expected.

Science, data analysis of the Cube, let me know how effective our little sat trick was in disrupting the collective systems, it would be nice to properly document this kind of cunning strategy.

Seems we're not doing to bad for ourselves Number 1, we might secure ourselves some shiny technology after all."

*A grin creeps its way across her face,
"Heh-heh-heh... Comms, prepare a channel... to the cube. We all know they have a trademark opening hail, voice only. So lets tease them a little, return signal, visual only."

*The grin spreads as her image is played across the comms to the borg queen, the full glamorous sheen of collapsium pearly whites, learing at the blank viewscreen, towards the unseen adversary.

She turns to signal the weapons officer (subtle profile flaunting \o/) before resuming the staring contest with the (obviously jealous) Queen.*

"Load the light missile launchers, EMP missiles on standby... Lock and fire, bays #1 through #10 (50 light missiles awayy /o/), that should get their attention, if we haven't already."

[AcidK]

-Waits in his usual constant patience.*

[Ur_Quan]

Well, Kama finally replied, that usually means Dming will occur within he next 2 days.

[Roadkill]

[AcidK]

erm, Roadkill, you need to make yur own ship

[Fluffie]

or, ofc, he can be pm-ing with miss hawk

[Roadkill]

this stuff is realy confusing, and I don't fully understand the ship stuff, I'm better situated after my ship is made, so yuh, can you fix me up with some kind of simple ship fluffie?
