OOC: Leave it alone, sacrid -.- It's such a minute waste of resources. It's just half a dinner. It's not even worth the notice. Why ask the guy how he'd like his character to die? It was fine, being in the back of my head, forgotten. His character wasn't even accepted. So, let him rot! And leave it alone! >< Cease and desist! >8C



A summary of the roleplay as a whole...I'm a rather bit lost...and that prevents much of my participation.

Here you go.
The Koldir commander, Kamica, has been assigned an escort a research ship on the other side of a wormhole, to study a from planet of the Ugrentians.
Meanwhile, the Ugrentian leaders had arrived on the frozen planet to hold a council meeting. During the meeting, however, they were ambushed by a stampede. Barely making it back to their ships, they managed to board one of the vessels, losing the others in the process. Pulling through the atmosphere, back into space, they discovered the Koldir ships, and as they neared, made first contact.
During this, however, a mysterious wormhole erupted into another system, spewing out the debris from a destroyed Mars. The causes of it’s destruction were never found.
This strange anomaly drove the Chozo to investigate. Being a cautious person, the Grand Admiral of the Chozo fleet sent a drone ahead to check the surroundings. Seeing it clear, he made an appearance in the flagship of the Chozo empire, the BSJ Shakuras.
With the Ugrentian and Koldir ship in the path of debris from a decimated Mars, the two races finally established proper communications after many attempts to translate the others’ language. But, during this event, a Holis ship entered, as did the Chozo drone. The Holis were wandering, looking for aid, while the Chozo were investigating the anomaly – the cause of the appearance of rubble – and first contact with three new species was made with the appearance of the flagship, making a first impression by sparing the other ships from vast pieces of debris.
With overwhelming first encounters, they all had first contacts. The Chozo had briefly met the Ugrentians, but had more of a future with the Holis and Koldir. After an “exciting” introduction with eachother, two Chozo Planet Crackers came to minimize the debrisfield for security reasons in future travels. As the other races celebrated new beginnings, the Chozo had their grand opening of their golden age- the revealing of the Solar Mining Station, enveloping the entire sun in one of the 12 Chozo systems, and ushering a Golden Age of fuel collection for the young empire.
Kamica of the Koldir received a new ship, with a new AI for better translating and controlling the ship, while the Laminari landed upon the Ugrentian planet.
After confusing relations between multiple races, the Holis’ energy core began to overheat, leading them to evacuate the Gromar as it was destroyed. The most infamous ship of Holis history had been destroyed.
With a routine operation of finding more nebulas for gas mining fleets to harvest, the flagship and five other vessels entered a recently discovered nebula, and began mapping operations, sending out beacons to map and transmit data to the flagship. Unfortunately, a dark shadow lurked within the dust of an ancient star. The mysterious loss of a drone, and soon many others. Something was out there, and future missions would reveal what it was.
Speaking with the council, they came to a decision. A new weapon would be designed to help combat the mysterious enemy, and hopefully made it possible for the nebula to be mined.
The Nur’Gulth battled with the Outrunners, and struggled on, while in Koldir space, the menacing Reverana of the Tephra Blade warped in, anticipating the arrival of Koldir ships, he had weapons materialized onto the hull. A battled insued in Koldir space, as the Tephra Blade was attacked after miscommunications. Calling for aid from other species, the Koldir attempted to force the Vultaran ship to flee. But the attempt was futile, as the ship moved towards the sun, leaving all but the Chozo flagship in it’s wake, struggling to keep up. With similar technology, the two ships clashed, only to have the Norse-like North’throdir aid Reverana, leading to the Chozo ship moving off to attack the fleet of cruisers, ultimately winning. Damaged, the flagship left the battle for the other 6 species, as the North’throdir limped away, and the Admiral watched. Finally, the battle over, Reverana had escaped, regrouping with other Vultaran ships for repairs.
His ship repaired, the Admiral began another expedition to the nebula, home of the lurking monstrosity of Luminari origin. With his new weapon in tow – a special debris-clearing device, capable of shooting asteroid like bullets with a precise Drone HUB connection, the assault began, bombarding the monstrosity with the rocks, as a small fleet of ships poured laserfire upon the biometal hull. As the battle commenced, it slowly came to an end, finishing with the brutal murder of a Black Sun cruiser. There were no survivors.
An accident on Shakuras left the Admiral hospitalized, still capable of doing his paperwork. An assassination plot failed, as it seemed there were still those who liked the old ways instead of these purer lifestyles.
Meanwhile, the North’throdir came to Black Sun borders, and quickly surrendered themselves without conflict… to a cruiser. A lone cruiser hauled in an entire fleet of North’throdir ships to a uninhabited planet. But unlike many other planets, inside were vast cities of Chozo technology, protected by the geological structure of the planet – A rare mineral acted as a layer in the planet, blocking all sensor readings, and ground penetration radar. It was perfect for a safe haven for the Chozo populace in dire times. With the entire fleet brought into underground hangers, they were permitted to stay in one of the cities until the Admiral could deal with them properly. But word never reached the Admiral as he returned from a third encounter with the Kraken, the monstrosity lurking in the nebula. But just as he would otherwise have gotten to deal with the North’throdir, a discovery by Chozo miners was made. A stasis pod containing one of the few remaining Wolven was brought back to a lab and carefully thawed. After ensuring his safety, the Wolven male was treated as a guest to ensure cooperation. Things went well, but soon, the Holis reborn, warped in above the safe haven where the North’throdir were. Demands were made for the turning in of the North’throdir. The Admiral remembered their race from their unprecedented attack on his ship in Koldir space, and readily agreed.
But the North’throdir revolted, and cast the Chozo officers on the planet to find an artifact that would “save the Holis from their corruption”, a cheesy plotline commenced, resulting in the use of a calming sound sent through comms channels from ship to ship, during a brief war between the Holis and Chozo. In this brief war, the Holis flooded Chozo systems with super weapons and advanced tactics, but were ultimately no match for the Chozo, who outsmarted them, using their technology against them, and at all odds, saved a system from obliteration.
Having had an attack on Shakuras by Nur’Gulth rebels looking to kill the few Wolven that had been thawed, the Chozo countered, and sought an alliance with the primary Nur’Gulth government, declaring the first official alliance with an alien species.
With the North’throdir and Holis let loose under threats to flee Black Sun space or suffer dire consequences, the Chozo set to rebuild and strengthen their defenses. The Holis had planted a structure on their first invaded system, now turned into a school. The Chozo remain untrusting of it’s purpose, thinking it will brainwash young minds, and perhaps be changed to allow the Holis and North’throdir access to their planet as yet a faster front to claim the planet under a more direct rule, and thus take over the Chozo. The Chozo, however were searching. Having finally found the Vultaran ship under the command of Reverana, the Chozo set out to ally them.
Reverana had just returned from a quick campaign of enslaving the Koldir; A goal easily acquired. Now, the Chozo hope their new alliance will help strengthen them both, and assure the Holis and North’throdir do not attack again. The Admiral did not have fond memories of either race, and anticipates an attack, soon to propose plans with the Vultarans in proper alliance negotiations.
In Koldir space, the protected system of the Slithereen is under assault by a new race. The Koldir, unable to make a stable wormhole connection, are in a losing battle. Their only hope now, as the North’throdir raid one of their mining planets at the same time, is for their new masters to step in and show the newcomers who has dominion in Koldir protected space.


Hope that helps :p Sorry to others if I forgot details. Skimming the RP was taking a long time. :/ And again, sorry for not remembering all the new race names as those actions are becoming a blur.

OOC: My Luminoth weren't even mentioned. lol As I said, they may return sometime. I just have to figure out how to play them again. XD Var forgot to mention that in my first encounter, I had cut the Koldir fleet by half, due to an EMP wave from the hull of my ship. XD and no, the Koldir aren't slaves. more like servants, since they were so willing. All I did was beat them. XD Of course the Emperor would want his people to survive. It's either join or be killed. lol

Gath, who exactly is attacking the Koldir? As far as I can tell, there are four races in Koldir space, with var and me leaving.

OOC: ... I see people aren't listening to when I said "Sorry if I forgot some details" -.- I am beginning to become sick of the "HEY! You forgot my '(list details here) >:C'" attitude I am getting. General hostility and constant reminders about the human prisoner, courtesy of sacrid. So, I ask that I stop receiving said reminders of both the human, and the missing details. As I said, I was skimming, and I am becoming less sorry the more I recieve such comments -.- Hostility will be met with hostility. Courtesy results with me fixing my post with the recovered information.

On Kamica's rank: A captain cannot lead multiple ships, as his rank only permits him to control his ship. Due to the previous control of other ships along with his own, I took his rank for Commander, as it suits him.

On the lack of specific weapon listing: I am not giving a blow-by-blow account, as it is a summary. You don't need to blast me about details lost during skimming, as a nice informing does the job much better then aggitation in that I missed.

Luminoth: Did not see your first posts till Reverana. Simple as that.

OOC: Moth-like species from Metroid Prime 2. In this case, based off of that species, much like my Chozo were based off the MP1 Chozo, but, the differences between the two have my Chozo being name and bird-like appearance being the only relations to Metroid Prime.

The Luminoth worshipped light, and had a 3D language making them extremely unique. They wielded light-based weaponry, but had more fragile bodies, having evolved from moths. The evolution of their technology is a mystery, having been "born" in space, wandering from system to system, looking for a home. But, their official history as far as the game's plot, is not included. The above information is Luminoth, as seen from Metroid Prime 2, but the way they will be played in the RP can seperate them from the game in many ways, much like my Chozo (Koh*zoh)

Somehow, I think they would get along well with the Laminari, both worshipping the light if I recall correctly) and both being nomads. They aren't really a threat to everyone, being the peaceful types they are, but they do ahve interesting technology including stasis. :p

OOC: Technically the Laminari worship Laminad (God), not 'light' so much. However, they would probably enjoy the Luminoth if only for their nomadic nature. The Light could perhaps be seen in light of Laminad with cultural exchange. Though with the reformed role of the Laminari as 'mini-monstrosities' (non overpowered god-mod preventors) I will have to work a few things around.

INFO: The Holis are gone into their galaxy. The will come back if they are need OR someone decides to attack them. May Laminad have mercy for your soul. Yes the holis are followers of the other ancient race's god. They will hunt down any evil race that attacks them. They are more biological tech boosted up their old highly mechanical tech race.
The Vi'King are Norththro'dir that are sent out on basically suicide missions to find anything of value. This a way to control my evil people.

OOC: I attack people because they will be tested for the "code". No I am not reveling it until every race has been tested. The "tested" are races that have been attack by raiders.

OOC: And you will be brutally slaughtered by the Chozo. >:3 The Admiral is expecting your return, and ought to be ready by then...

Have to ask though... your gates... If I recall correctly, they are made to solely funnel fleets through, much like my gates that you miracuously acquired copies of, (being stored in the Black Sun files, and not in military databases) and so quickly built several, whereas my repairs of my gates took longer. Reverse engineering isn't so quick. But... I take it that your "rapid reverse engineered from pictures only and split second scans" gates have the only purpose of funneling (a tact that the Chozo had a hard time overcoming, as it is old empire technology (prototype back then)) fleets through? Not the "bypass other systems" function that mine have, nor the defense turrets mounted on the side? (The gates are only big enough to almost fit two Planet Crackers in at the same time, and as such, cannot open portals for larger ships. It's really just a 1 way gate) I'm 'fuzzy' on the details of your gates as you somehow managed to reverse engineer mine from pictures and brief scans. :/ So, the question in all this is: What functions are your gates capable of? (Just seeing how far you reverse engineered by pictures)

OOC: Whats gates are you talking about, I have two versions the Holis Galaxy one and the Norththro'dir defense ones.
The defense ones have a special purpose, Trafficking ships. These also have a special defense built in, all ships that aren't norththro'dir or ally goes to the nearest non Norththro'dir gate, Chozo gates are the nearest. So basically You can use any thing but hyper speed to reach my space, and then you would have to destroy sensors that have early warring. That all ecept for the galaxy thing is still in play even if the gates are destroyed. The Galaxy one are linked to the Holis galaxy.
Var, they were weak with evil intent. Now that there aren't evil you won't be able to unless you build more planet crackers. The holis are using matter rebuilding tech to create more items. The galaxy is more like a few systems and the rest is rock that can be rebuild into what ever they need.

OOC: I was talking about the North'throdir gates, yes. But how could you possibly reverse engineer them from pictures and surface scans? It took the Chozo years to figure it out.

Also, with the trafficking of ships... you want to send any guests you may have, into my space? More intrusions leads to a much more hostile Chozo. It'll be Birds (horror movie) all over again but with big guns!

Planet Crackers are vast projects in themselves. They are essentially giant missile ships. So, what your telling me is that I can't use strategy to counter the Holis, but must instead use heavy weaponry such as a fleet of Planet Crackers? That's an overabundance of heavy mining equipment. With all those resources and money going into their production, I'd get nothing out of them. I could give them away as gifts though... I'd have plenty. :/ But really, the Cracker bombs that they are so famous for (sent to core of planet and used to push it apart from the inside) can be used by other Chozo ships, and even modified with other Chozo technology. So, don't need a Planet Cracker to launch them, but having other ships carrying multiple super-nukes is just impractical. :/

Replicators exist nowadays as well. NASA has some that are being built, and they require the blueprints of whatever they are making, layer by layers, as a perfect copy. They could make a human brain if they had the materials. But what is a galaxy is it is simply a couple systems and a junkyard of rocks? Sounds like a dead galaxy to me. :/ Besides, my Chozo aren't the ones to start wars. They... end them.

OOC: I think what he means is a system, not a galaxy (Sol, our solar system is an example of a system, it has one star (or 2 or maybe even 3) at it's core, and several satelites (orbital things). A galaxy on the other hand, is a massive, oftenly spiralling, mass of stars, systems, nebulae and anomaly, which orbits one or more Super Massive Black Holes (Realy nasty things those can be =/)

Edit:
IC:
Activating..........................................................
Activation complete, all systems functioning.............
Scanning surface.................................................
Surface scan complete, surface is sufficiently leveled.
Scanning sub-surface...........................................
Sub-surface scan complete, needed minerals found....
Commencing digging procedure...............................

A metalic voice said, emitting from a large building-sized machine, located on a flat piece of land, filled with red grass under a brown sky.
Soon after, loud drilling noises could be heard from the machine

OOC: This is the AI that was dropped on the planet somewhere, this planet, by the way, is a carbon planet =D, in other words, almost unlimited supply of diamonds =D)

IC: Exiting subspace with his ship, transmissions were sent, and progress reports came in. He smiles as he heard one of the crewmen on a station finish. "Find me a suitable area in Chozo space to hold negotiations." A questioning comment from the comms officer on the station, and the Admiral continued, "We may have just found ourselves an alliance." A statement which made everyone's day better. They knew not whom the alliance would be with, but he figured the news stations would be in turmoil over his picks for alliable races.

OOC: It'll be like Holloween! :D Face of a Vultaran spreading across the networks. Yes, it would definetely shock the public.

OOC: I doubt the Chozo, as a scientific species, would act that way =/ They know there's alien life out there, and they know it can be strange (Hello? being without feathers, with little threads (or whatever they're called) comming from their head, and bone-like spears comming from their limbs! For a bird species, a lot can be strange =3)

Their only horrid past was finding themselves alone in the galaxy, and a history of war. It wasn't a war economy, but like modern day's society. So, their wars were typically like modern wars, until the gap from space travel swept over them, and tension broke into a full out war between all factions. That final war took years, on a multi-system scale, but it wasn't all-out hell, but mostly space battles, with some bombarding of colonies and border planets, slowly making their way in. Now imagine it with a pure, scientific civilzation with a past of war. Imagine their use of weaponry in a fight for survival. Make them angry, and you can bet that you'll be feeling the effects. :p

Transporting minerals to processing plant..........
Minerals transported successfully.....................
Processing minerals.......................................
Minerals processed into more usable materials....
Activating personality files for designing work....

Suddenly, a large yawn could be heard from the machine
"Now then, all that formal stuff is over, and I am free huh? Interresting, well then, for some reason I have the urge to build something... and somehow I feel like I should send minerals to orbit... Hmm... let's see... I'll just start with making more mobile construction things... let's see... what would work..." it was silent for a moment, then the machine continued "Ah, I get it, the design of my makers would be good... though without those annoying spikes..." he said, and soon after, construction sounds could be heard coming from the machine.

OOC: I see he's already 'met his makers' XD

IC: Going over the progress reports, he checks in through drones to see the new defenses for each gate. Beam sentries, laser turrets, and various beacons. And now, sitting down at the holoroom, he checked the progress of the habitat ring. It was still in Nur'Gulth space, likely mimicking more habitats. It would benifit science well. For once in new Chozo history, they had something that wasn't given a military protocol. It felt good to have a large project not based solely on the military, though it's habitats could be used for such. He leaned back, scrolling through the basic specs, before moving on to one of his favorite designs: The BSSG Myrdin. Not even bringing the specs up on the hologram, he leaned back, and admired it's orange hologram, it's gourd-like shape slowly spinning around.

OOC: No.. not realy, though it has knowledge of it's makers, it's sort of like having memories he never actualy lived through, but are there.)

IC: A humanoid, metalic thing, that was dwarfed by the giant machine, came out of it
"Greetings my son, how are you?" The machine said on a friendly tone
"Uuhm... fine... I guess... wait... I'm alive.. right?" The metalic thing said
"Yes... as far as you can call androids with AI alive" the machine laughed.
"Ah, so I'm an android?"
"Perhaps... I think I'll give us another name... how about the Alier-Inira?"
"Sounds good, so what should I do? Now that I'm alive..."
"Hmm... here, use these materials to make a thing that can get resources into space, this is my idea"
Nothing appeared to happen, though the metalic Android then responded to something
"Hmm.. looks good, I'll begin right away" and the Android started to build. Also, in the main machine, more construction sounds started, and the machine continiued to talk: "I think I'll start naming more stuff, for example myself... My official name is 'Selfsuficient Intelligent Mining Factory' so I'll call myself... Simf."
"Sounds good... Simf" the Alier-Inira said.
"Now then, what should we call this planet?"
"I don't know... Dore I guess"
"Dore?"
"Yes, red in reverse in something called 'a protected race', after the grass that is here"
"Ah, I see, then I shall call myself 'Intelligent Humanoid Building Apparatus' in other words, Ihba" the humanoid Alier-Inira said.
"Sounds nice"

OOC: What the heck was that? The machine doesn't start out with a full vocabulary and understanding of the world around it? They have to come up with names? Also, the names you picked are too long to pronounce on a constant level, and your new race is just plain awkward. It doesn't sound like a ferocious thing atall. I was expecting more of a Borg like intelligence. not starting from scratch.

OOC: They've been made by the Koldir >.> And only Alier-Inira is a long name... they call themselves by the shorter names btw, for example, the "Intelligent Humanoid Building Apparatus" calls himself, and likes to be called Ihba, also, yes, they do start with a full vocabulary and knowledge of the world, becouse that was already programmed into the main machine, and the main machine puts it's knowledge into all of it's creations)

IC: The newest defense weapon plan was transferred through the Admiral, with his acceptance. It had been several years since the last productions or this variety of weapon. And, to spit in the face of corruption, the Admiral had an idea for his first offer to his could-be allies. This weapon, he deemed, would help keep his systems safer, and permit him to laugh in the faces of his expected uninvited guests.

OOC:
I thought the RP was on hold until we got it more organized? Oh well. Here is the next bit of my solo introduction.

Although radio contact had been cut, Quetzal had gone over this strategy and preformed it enough that he knew what he needed to do. The Raiders had one trick that they used in their bases to prevent invisible strikes like the one that the Medusa were doing right now. They had several sonar-emitting devices spread throughout their installation, allowing them to detect any invisible targets in or near the mining facility. All the data from those emitters came back to a central station, where the turrets and all military personnel were notified of any anomalies. In order for the raid to succeed, the station had to be taken out.
As they neared the five hundred meter mark, Quetzal checked his supply of missiles. There were only three left from his previous engagement, so he had to aim carefully. Aiming at the square sonar station, Quetzal fired once they were on the five hundred mark exactly. His missile and, nearly immediately after, the missiles from the other three ships went out. They hit the station with little visible effect, leaving only dents in the wall, but Quetzal knew that the missiles had released a wave of EMP radiation on impact, knocking out the station.
The station's defenses kicked in almost immediately, with four of the six anti-aircraft gun turrets opening up at their approximate location. As proof that the EMP missiles had worked, the two turrets nearest the sonar station refused to work. Quetzal immediately changed course to avoid the gun turrets, and when their bullets refused to hit anything solid their controllers opted to spray wildly into the air. Quetzal was soon inside the perimeter of the defenses, however, and moving down into the gap between the wall and the mining station he released the hatch holding the two-ton tank he had in his storage bay. Two flaps opened from the belly of his ship and released the tank like a bomb, dropping it on a squad of black-clad Raiders with an audible crunch. Closing his hatch and taking off again, he gave a quick glance around and saw the other ship's loads - another tank and twenty-five ground forces moving in on the surprised Raiders. The final five infantry were a special strike squad, armed with camouflage similar to that on his own ship and several high-powered explosives. Their task was to plant those in a vulnerable spot, such as near a tank of the black liquid the Raiders enjoyed mining, and then detonating them once the whole strike force was away.
The Raiders, despite being caught by surprise, were starting to fight back. The heavy booming of Quetzal's tank soon started sounding above the gunfire, joined by the second not long after. Scanning the air above him as he flew up, Quetzal saw nothing at first, until five black dots made themselves visible coming around the rim of the station. They were undoubtedly Goliaths - floating gun platforms armed with every imaginable weapon in the Raider arsenal. The raid would come to a quick halt if the Medusa ground forces came under the fire of those, so Quetzal fired a quick pair of flares - a red (danger) followed by an orange (engaging new air forces). Maneuvering towards the enemy ships, Quetzal checked his next missile, and then launched it.
In air battles, EMP weapons were just as deadly as bullets. The lead Goliath caught the missile dead-on, it's eight motor blades similar to a helicopter's falling silent and plummeting down to the ground. The two following it were clipped by some of the radiation, as they nearly fell themselves, just barely gaining balance again and quickly falling behind the rear two. All four ships started firing bursts of gunfire at him, but they avoided using anything bigger in the fear of missing and hitting someone on the ground. Flying around the cone of bullets, Quetzal released his last missile at the flank of a fresh Goliath and then checked the charge of his EMP bursts. Satisfied, bu both his burst weapons and the damage the falling Goliath made, Quetzal carefully flew in between the two lagging Goliaths and knocked them out with a subsequent burst of EMP radiation. The last Goliath retaliated with a barrage of Stinger missiles - small, but fast stingers that would normally hit a Medusa ship despite it's invisibility. Quetzal cut off his engines for just a moment, falling straight down before flicking them on again, evading the missiles and dropping out of his opponent's detection again. Before he could get close enough to the Goliath for another burst, it had begun chewing through the defensive fortifications the Medusa were sheltered behind. By the time Quetzal took it out with another burst, the infantry down below were wide open and had lost one of their tanks. Not soon after, however, a blue flare (mission completed, extract survivors) was shot up from a position near the main entrance to the facility, quickly followed by several from the main battle group.
Firing off a blue flare of his own, Mourg came down next to the spot the flare was shot. To avoid mid-air collisions as much as possible, the Medusa ships would go on a turn-by-turn pickup, with the ship firing it's flare first getting the first pickup. It wasn't perfect, but it worked well enough that most troops wouldn't get crushed by the flaming wreckage of their dropship. Letting down a ramp to the ground, Quetzal counted the commandos as they decloaked and gave a final shot to their pursuers. Counting all five, Mourg took off and fired a final, green (extraction complete) flare. After another minute, the last flare had been shot and Quetzal headed out to safety. With another flight of Goliaths coming in and the sonar coming back online soon, Quetzal wanted to leave.
To his left, a sudden bright light penetrated his eye. Looking over at the explosion, he was just in time to see a trail of missiles slam into an invisile wall, revealed to be another Medusa dropship. The shrapnel connected wuth something close by it, destroying part of the third ship's camouflage. The turrets on the wall and the incoming Goliaths started opening up on the revealed target, and despite the other pilot's evasions Quetzal knew the other pilot was doomed.
"Have you set those charges off yet?" Quetzal yelled back, fingering a switch. After a negative reply, he called, "You won't have long to do it. Hold on to something!" He flicked the switch, turning another red. Turning that switch off, too, Quetzal turned off his camouflage and prepared to fly for his life.

OOC: With the mining race, the only defense they ahve is thorugh "accidents". :p Rare mineral collection located in or on enemy troops and units, and they will collect. The enemy troops? "They had an unfortunate accident with our mining equipement. We are very sorry for your loss." (Ground in the gears and drills of various mining equipement tasked to gather these rare minerals.) It's not murder, they're just doing their job XD

OOC: Personally, Gath hasn't made any sign of continueing his map idea, and noting that I find a map to be useless. Also, since I don't want people just "finding and attacking" my Empire, I have it hidden somewhere in the galaxy. Of course, it's large, but the chanceof finding it is slim. In Star trek Voyager, It took many years for them to chart part of the Delta quadrant, so it's not going to be a small galay, where we each have a notable sized empire on the map. We would basically be specks, and the chances of finding eacother are VERY slim, unless we know what to look for. XD Space isa huge place, and in an RP, the chances are always high (for some reason, people decide that everyone has to be close to eacother, almost too close).

OOC: Sacrid, a map is just to see how far we are away from eachother, we can't use the map in the RP, if we did, it'd be god modding, it's just so we know where everyone is, and that way, we can't just pop up everywhere we want >.>)

OOC: no the editor is pretty gainormous, yes i said gainormous, since it is. whit the new expansion of twilight of the arnor they added an Immense galaxy option witch is meh quite big. if you play a game on that you coulod like :/ play it for a month and still not finish. but as i looked into the editor more i notices it only allows 5 planets per system (per star) so it wouldn't be an option. my system has 8 planets :/

only 5 planets per system? I can understand that they want to limit it, but even Sol has more planets than that. Not everything is going to be small, and I think a system with two planets is pretty small. lol (And I'll guess the reason you could play for a month and not finish is that you could literally not find anyone?)

OOC: SoL has many planets. (Yes it a tribute to disk world.) The Holis have a galaxy of their own and the Norththro'dir have a least 25.

Updates: The Holis are done with the time shield in the main galaxy. Also they are Starting Protect PaLR (Planet and Life Rebuilding). The Galactic Counsel will have planets for any person or race can build upon. Norththr'dir decided to guard the gate, so they will have the system on both sides.So the Norththro'dir are going to fight any race that threaten the gate.

IC: "Start the project." The rocks of old planets started to move around ships that will in time go nuclear. This would insure more planets for the newly formed Counsel to use as sanctuary. "Start to rebuild on planets for the other. Send the zen group to restart suns. The Orders are sent now move like the your busy." The new work master had his order to give to the worker clans. Great, We are no longer as the our old names anymore, We are now Holis-Holadis. That seemed fair, we keep our old name and our new one. "Gorash, you are needed to fix the counsel room." I hate this job, but it better then giving orders to people. "OK, lets go. The faster we get this done the better." The two Holis-Holadis speed down the to a hall.

Norththr'dir decided to guard the gate, so they will have the system on both sides.So the Norththro'dir are going to fight any race that threaten the gate.

First off... I can believe the Holis having a galaxy, as the old Chozo empire technocally does (being the last life there, the Chozo could easily claim it all) But the North'throdir can't have 25. I think you mean systems, of which a single galaxy has trillions of.

Second, Having acquired 25 systems so quickly, whereas the Chozo have only 12, and both have fully colonized them, if not adding expansions... civilizations aren't build in a matter of days. :/ And now, with hostile intent towards the Chozo, you plan for galactic worlds where everyone can live in "peace"? That'll be the grand technology heist of all eternity, allowing you access to the technology of several races across the galaxy. It may not be immediant, but a long process of getting them to bring the tech to you, and build upon said tech, to bring in the better technologies of their races.

..... Thirdly... restarting systems? You collect the ashes of planets and haul them back? They have spread across quadrillions of miles, and are literally dust. And, as for restarting suns, that is MUCH easier said than done. It's hard to collect nubulas into a single mass, and, as they are only a small portion of the sun that didn't ignit, or are the unusable elements of the sun, it is impossible to restart the sun. If you believe it ispossible, find a way and explain it so the others can understand how, as I have no clue. But rebuilding systems is not a practical use of resources. Asteroids make horrible subsitutes for planet materials. Wrong soil type. :/ So... have fun making bigger rocks in nebulas :/

Solmaster, do you realize how much power would be required to recreate a system? Personally, I'd let nature take its course. If you even bothered to try recreating systems, they couldn't be used due to the fact that they don't have a core, they don't have an atmosphere, and there is nothing to keep them packed together. Nothing would grow. And the sun would never come back. If you packed a nebula in one spot, it would not become a sun even if you lit it. Nebula gases are already burned from when the sun went super nova. You can't do that. And besides, it's a waste of resources and energy. But if you want to make futile acts of packing dirt, fine. Just remember what I said.

Also, we live in a solar system, meaning one sun. Our sun, our system, is one among many thousands in our galaxy. You know, that big spiraling thing that our lost satellite is beginning to fly out of? Yeah.

The nebula gas being burnt is what I remember. I know var says otherwise in his post.

Taken from wikipedia. Article: Nebula
the formations of gas, dust and other materials "clump" together to form larger masses, which attract further matter, and eventually will become big enough to form stars. The remaining materials are then believed to form planets, and other planetary system objects.
They'll form new planets and a sun once more, in about... several thousand years. :p Give or take a few thousand. (most definetely give)

OOC: I think I'm going to go a little bit over my authoritive bounds here (sorry Gath)...and state now:

Solmaster: The holis cannot have a whole galaxy to themselves, or any race for that matter.

You cannot rebuild planets, or restart suns. No race will now play God (cough Laminad >_> <_<).

This RP will now take on a hint of realism, for example:

From now on, this RP is set in one single galaxy only, that is ample room enough. The old Melodari [pre-laminari revelation] empire for example, only extends so far out, and a vast majority of it is now empty ruins connected by long lost/abandoned space routes. You might say at the Melodari height of unchecked power, we controlled a large portion of a single galactic spiral arm of the galaxy, and that is it, and most of that was empty space, and kept in Melodari hands by their iron fisted methods, monstrosities, and the bravery of The High Fleet.

"Rome was mighty, but it did not extend into China, or the Americas."

There will be no messing with time. Especially now that the Monstrosities have a weapon against time manipulation as a god-mod counter.

OOC: Thats kool, what if the place gets to full though? How about we have races have multiple space stations that get supplied outside the galaxy but there is no outside influence, either multiple or one large or a few large stations. (This is just an idea) Either way I think I might take a firey planet close to the sun with molten lava covering nearly the entire planet for my new race (I will be using them for the rest of the rp but I still am not done creating them, I have many more ideas I need to work in)

OOC: The biggest issue, is that we need to consider just how big a galaxy really is. Once you grasp just how mind blowingly big it is, it becomes easy to fit all kinds of races and things in a tiny spot. Just look at earth! And it is a teenee spec in the large galactic field.
