So the Spartans is willing to take on the whole Pirate Faction then simply hunting down the gang responsible for it? geez 
Do realize that each gang as different relations with each other and the other factions.

I guess if this takes place two years ago, he could be trying to find out which gang did it. Could he use relations with some data angels that have worked for Sparta in the past to get this kind of information? |
Since the Data Angels is currently integrated with the Pirates, and that they are best friends, they will not tell the Spartans...well, depending on which gang they looking for...and they also provide false information and get the spartans to hunt down some gang they dislike, like the Larionovs or the Blood Eagles, lol Data Angels doesn't have a central government at the moment either... Anyway, rather the raid to steal a Warlock happened a decade or so before 2700.
Spartans may try eliminate the pirates, but they will have a hard time the pirates are over the place and this time and space, they are the ultimate Survivalists

I can't be bothered to quote LMP but he said I can't share a system with the Caretakers because they are disinterested in Chiron and have no contact with Chironian factions... but didn't they have a war way back. |
Like i said Alynzia, the Proginators that came to Chiron crashed landed, stranded.... lost cmmunication with the rest of the Proginators. Meaning, they considered those scout ships lost and they didn't bother to go looking for them.... so the proginators in space don't know of what happened on Chiron, Manifold Six...... if they knew, as well a sknowing that Chiron is Manifold Six, then they would of came and take over Chiron before the factions developed FTL or even reach 2700. If they ever find out and discover that Chiron is Manifold Six, they will launch a crusade to acquire it......the Usurpers to use it to achieve godhood....the caretakers to take to prevent the Usurpers in having it.....or maybe some other proginator factions for any reason...(no chaos faction please)....... So by 2700, the Proginators don't know, and they only discovered of humanity in the 2600s, yet don't care for diplomacy with them as they are no threat and they busy fighting among themselves and other bigger species like the Bree. In general, they rather blast the humans then to bother with diplomacy.
quote:
Is is so crazy! loony! crazy! to propose a small number of Caretakers initially inhabited that system when the Gaians sent a scout craft there a long time ago. It was a Caretaker frontier colony that was under threat from native life forms. Caretaker techniques of ecological harmony had become a little rusty due to the fact they have be focussed on killing Usurpers, plus this frontier colony had been somewhat neglected by the PTB. I just imagined the Gaians came along and helped the Caretakers manage this system and aided them because they arre nice hippy people. In order to make the colony a workable thing the two factions now pool their resources. This is an instance of a local cooperative rather than a intimate alliance.
|
Here is a compromise, the caretakers which the Gaians found is a Splinter Colony, formed after a Caretaker ship crashlanded on that world by themselves and loosing most of their technology.... Gaians come along and they discover them, establish a colony there and intereact with the Caretakers..... but the Gaians, knowing full well these Caretakers will try to re-contact with the rest of the Caretakers...and if the caretakers on that world discovers where the Gaians come from, how they knew of the Proginators language off the bat, etc... and tell that to the rest of the Caretakers,....then Chiron and the human factions will be in danger. So the Gaians is playing a dangerous game and also keep this info away from the rest of the Chiron Factions, knowing full well what their reaction would and the Gaians i am sure don't want to attract that kind of attention upon them. The Caretakers and Gaians may work together on that world, but doesn't mean the Gaians can easily get along with the rest of the Caretakers. what do you think?
Also Alynzia, do you wish to have the Gaians near hive, so you can go on with your secret relations with them? if so, then Ursa Majoris systems may not be close to them...... so thinking of just giving ya equal amount of solar systems near hive territory, and then you can name the systems whatever you want. Being close to the hive also mean being close to the Free Drones and the Spartans.

Yes, I'm back after a couple of days of P-A-R-T-Y-S!!!!!
LMP,
I honestly don't think the Gaians need to be near Hive space. I don't think the proximity of our two factions need to be close together because they are "guests" in our system. Like an embassy, the "ambassador" does not need to be close to his or her nation in order to conduct business in that territory.
The Gaian presence in our system is like this analogy. Just because there are Gaians in our system does not necessarily mean that our two empires/factions/governments need to be close to one another....
I, as an author, think that whatever Alynzia chooses as her plot toward whatever goal she designs for the Gaian faction is appropriate. So long as she is able to express her creative "powers" is alright with me.
As for the compilation of factional (or in my case...super-omega-duper-grand-awesomeness-cool-rad....empire) information, I think that this idea is a very much needed source or information. If one of us would like information in future posts, all an author would need to do is check the info and hopefully will be able to piece together a plot worthy of the gods
Well, I think I've said enough.....BTW everyone, keep up the guud posts and ideas. And Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, or whatever religion you do practice....but have a nice holiday season everyone and have fun! Wooo!

Genaral: I only have a couple small problems with your timeline.
I don't think Morgan would sell anything to a group so viloently opposed to an important ally. Maybe InEn of Earth or some morgan manager that operated without Morgan's knowledge.
I will say that from the Spartan perspective, the Cadre has become less of a concern then the Hive threat, or alien threat. Yeah, they don't like their existence and they would rather have control of the their planets resources. But they won't mount any serious attempt to retake them simply becuase the Spartans have too much on their plate with being surrounded on all sides by enemies. (Morgans and Drones excluded) Of course that doesnt mean that priorties can't change. I would like to keep Kessel from becomming some bloody tyrant. Maybe that is how he is seen on the cadre planet. He won't hesitate to use war and violence if it means protecting allies and Sparta but won't go out of his way to be bloody.
A note on the Progenators for everyone. If we keep running into them, then they are going to get curious and start snooping around more and we will have a big infestation of bugs all over the place. At best, when you run into a progenator vessel, they will ignore you thinking you are no threat. But they won't start giving you things unless they think you can lead them to a manifold or give information about them and then they will wonder how you can communicate since humans have no Official contact with them. Everyone needs to be careful about what any alien race gives them in the way of technolgy. I'm not saying it can't happen, but the aliens just wont give anything away. they will expect something big in return. Also, keep in mind that humans occupy a low run on the tech ladder compared to the Progenators, Bree, Gorn, Fraal, and even Tarn. All of them are interested in not seeing us advance too much. The Fraal, maybe for different reasons then the others. If they wanted to they could pick us apart with relative ease. The only thing that keeps us in the game is their mutual hatred for each other and in the case of the Progenators the obsession for the mainifolds. We can only dominate some of the primatives that inhabit a few scattered worlds.

Righty-O, HG, I am sure the Spartans will be your gracious allies when the Terran marines are busy shoving a gauss rifle down General Kessel's windpipe -
Just kidding 
Cybergod, I noted, when saving this thread for closer viewing offline, that in late November you had asked, how many people Titan should have.
Now, I the answer is somewhat late *cough* *cough* but since the colonies are the way to ease off overcrowing on Earth, I would hazard a guess of some ten, twelve million people.
Another somewhat overdue matter: I second LMP's suggestion for naming the most common (I recall talk of several minerals, three or four?) FTL mineral as Elerium-115, as I am a hardcore XCom veteran.
I propose that one mineral is named Tiberium, but if that's too, C&C shall I say, Dyonine, extracted from Dyonite, is fine. Tiberium/Dyonine could be more rare then E-115, but a more pure mineral that would be more efficient in FTL purposes. Not efficient enough to substanciate use of it over E-115, however.

Not that that shall ever happen, Kassiopeia. Hey, by the way, I hope you don't mind the fact that the CEO is trying to pull off a little bit of confusion for InEn (or will do so in the next post), as to where he's attacking. The CEO has this strange idea that you guys will try to intercept our troop transports, so he came up with the idea of...well...leading you off their trail with a small contigent of battleships in invisibility mode protecting a large, old, and unmanned troop transport, to lead InEn off the path, while the real force, which is much larger, is under invisibility cloak and headed straight for Callisto.

Yup, you're right.
Now, since the Threadgod has deemed the use of cloaking devices in this situation as questionable ( ) I am willful, however, to allow some "holes" in the Sol system scanner arrays.
My idea: Let's entwine this with Cybergod's (I use the bold text to draw his attention) Titan situation. The Nova Saturna supplies the Morganites with information extracted from the InEn archives - using the keycodes from Moon -, regarding defense of Jovian InEn holdings. The InEn does the scanner work of that area itself, and since their scanners do not cover all the region all the time, it is possible to slip in trough the radar coverage, if they know where and when to fly in
.
Whilst the main convoy is slipping trough the scanners, the fake convoy starts approaching Callisto from a different direction, making sure it is detected. The fake convoy is engaged, and the real one makes it through to attack Callisto. They succeed, as InEn defense fails since most of their ships are at the other side of Jupiter with the fake ship, and Coalition refuses to intervene until it's people are attacked, which is soon arranged as the Morganites invade the moon itself.
Since trying to get back to Pollux or where ever the ships are from would be suicide, they stand ground, and a siege is formed, with the Coalition providing support for InEn, as Callisto was it's territory.
Of course, at this time, when the Coalition is mocking about in Jupiter region, the Titanians revolt, using equipment the Morganites sent in a couple of disguised trade ships or whatnot, in exchange of the information that helped them penetrate Callisto. That way, the Nova Saturna gets what it wants - An independent Titan, which the EC can not retake as quickly as it could because of Callisto.
Now, then the situation would be this:
Terran Council gets two matters to handle - The Titan declaration of independence and application to TA membership, attempting to avoid Earth retribution - and the Morganites attacking Callisto, and thus Coalition and Interplanetary Enterprises.
So, what do you think, History Guy and Cybergod? Before we get to details, let's sort the main storyline first.
Frankychan, as you have probably already deduced, if you have read the plan above, I control Interplanetary Enterprises and the Coalition of Earth (or Earth Coalition).

Ah! The RETURN TO NORMALCY!!
Well, Kassiopeia, in response, how's this? It sounds all rather good to me. We shall sneek in around your scanners with the real guys and put the fake boys in the area in which they can be easily spotted. Thus when you send out your guys to shoot it (and it's escorts) down, our men shall, in actuality, be landing, knocking out sensor arrays, and taking over a certain moon of Jupiter. Would you like to do the post on th attack on the fake transport? The Nova Saturna story fits in very well. As for my attack, we shall hold the moon, but shall have to undergo several weeks (or months) of siege. The man I'm sending in is a good soldier, General Henry Marmion, a son-in-law of General Marchand himself. The guys shall be 1st Corps, about 20,000 men in two divisions, divided into 2 brigades per division, commanded each by a Brigadier. Each brigade is made up of 2 regiments. These are the elite of Morgan's army, and he plans to use them as the first wave, but anything more would have to be a volunteer army. Should I create some InEn characters on Callisto? Such as Colonel in charge of the moon's defense? Or the Governor and his Adjutant? I would prefer if you did so in your first post. I was thinking that we would capture the Governor alive and try to use him as a bargaining chip or something. Anyway, our shock troops will soon visit a moon near you!
Franky, Thanks for the compliment. I did see your jabs at poor old CEO Morgan, so I decided to do some at poor old Sheng-ji Yang.

Again, Sol is heavily covered with ships.... so can't simply sneak in and surprise attack. Also, again, the Terran Alliance FLeet will get involve in the defence of any members colonies.
About Cloaking.... i rather not see all of Chiron Factions to have it..... atleast the Hive and the Data Angels. Or simply make cloaking devices very rare... can also have Electronic Warfare devices too people, to be invisible on sensors and etc...
I am leaving on the 23rd and not sure if i will be able to continue playing for the next 8 months after that. SO i will try to get as much done with the site, and so on, before i leave.

LMP does have a point. Why on earth does Morgan wish to attack Callisto anyhow? Why would he not try it out on Pluto, or some more distant spot? There are thousands of Alliance, InEn or Coalition ships in the system. When/if Callisto detects the intruders, even when they have reached near vicinity, there will be a huge load of ships there going point blank.
We need something to keep them from surface bombarding the entire colony to smithereens. Probably hostages? But that would not be Morgan's style, would it? And in the 28th century there are targeting systems accurate enough to tell the difference from a Morganite encampment/landed ship and a civilian location.
Tricky indeed. What is the opinion of the Thread-deity?
Planning on my post; I figure that it would include the detection and swift elimination of the fake fleet, and then the moment when the InEn finds out that there are people moving in on Callisto.
Or where-ever Morgan attacks.
I do think that we need Morgan counter-attacking some Sol location altogether. It is, do not forget vital to continue the Nova Saturna agenda. The Morganite attack is timed so that the Rhea-Titanian insurgents can throw the Coalition out when it's busy with the Morganite strike.
(Prime Minister Drecaille is going to have one hell of a day, btw. )

Erm, then, we need someone to "upkeep" the Scions, Venutians and Belters. And the Pirates, of course.
Sprayber, in the spot where an Apache class scout is supposed to be shown, there is a mere red cross with a white background. Might be a good idea to check your img src -code.
