Oh! Sorry, Master Crim. Go ahead and post your sheet in the characters tab; you're accepted.

[Ryker Rohrer]

@Queen Raidne

Aight! Sorry i took so long there. I finally got to dull down the ship some it is now set to a crew compliment of 7000 instead of 70000 I have decreased the hull from 3000 to 1700, I also downed it traveling speed from 1500 to 1000, I made the cargo hold smaller as well along with decreasing food atomizers as small crew does not need a full compliment.

[Queen Raidne]

@Ryker Rohrer Great! You are accepted, go post your sheet in the characters tab. I'll post the first IC when it is not 3am.

[Hostile]

When will this thing start?

[Mr Rage]

@Hostile:

I'll post the first IC when it is not 3am.

@Queen Raidne

So, any time now it looks like!

[Flamelord]

Y'all should join the Advent. We can give you cool psychic powers.

[Mr Rage]

That could be a fun interaction process... perhaps members of the crew will decide to join the advent. Just depends on how the scenario plays as to whether that would even be something to spend time focusing on.

Something interesting about myself: I am a Stargate fan which will soon become obvious as my ship will be based on that series. Aside from that I’m an avid video gamer which is what I do when I’m not RPing or prepping for my next few university years.

Oh yeah, and RWBY is love, RWBY is life.

Ship Name:
USS Helios

Universe Background:
In the year 1928 a circular object was unearthed near Giza, Egypt. This object, dubbed the stargate, was in fact an alien device capable of generating artificial wormholes to other stargates seeded throughout the galaxy by an ancient race. In the year 1997 the Stargate program was activated. Its goal was exploration, establishment of diplomatic relations with alien lifeforms, if they were found, and recovery of alien technology required to defend earth in case of an alien attack.

In the following 20 years the Stargate program forged alliances, made enemies, and acquired technologies which allowed the construction of space ships capable of hyperspace travel. The Asgard were the main providers of the technology needed to build space ships.

The Asgard were unfortunately dying. They did not reproduce by normal means anymore, instead they created clones of themselves and then transferred their consciousness in the new clones. After countless generations of cloning, the Asgard were faced with a disease that caused genetic degradation. Rather than merely dying off and allowing their technology to fall into enemy hands, they gifted their legacy to their human allies and subsequently committed a mass suicide by destroying their own planet while still inhabiting it.

Crew Complement:
Skeleton crew made up of around 30 individuals, which includes engineers, scientists and several marine teams.

Ship Description:

USS Helios

The BC-305 named USS Helios is the second ship of its class, the BC-304 being its predecessor. For the most part it operates as a Carrier despite possessing enough firepower on its own to also be classified as a battlecruiser. The main armament of The Helios consists of 8 F-302 fighter squadrons each made up of 4 fighters stored in 4 separate hangar bays. The hangar bays are also capable of maintaining, repairing and even producing more F-302s, provided enough resources are available.

In addition to that it carries a wide array of Railguns which mainly serve as a point defense system and 32 missile pods armed with Naquadah enhanced nuclear missiles.
Beside the point defense system, it is equipped with a number of asgard shield generators.

The Helios was designed to operate on its own for extended periods of time without needing to resupply. Thanks to its on-board AI, it is capable of operating with as few as 3 crew-members if needed, drastically reducing the required supplies.

Noteworthy locations on the ship include the bridge, engineering area, briefing room, large storage bays, mess hall, crew quarters, infirmary, armory, Asgard knowledge room and Asgard Computer core.

The knowledge room, which serves as the legacy of the Asgard, was originally installed a BC-304 called The Odyssey, but was later moved on-board the Helios.

Unique Capabilities:
Though already equipped with considerable firepower, the main weapons of The Helios are 6 Plasma beam cannons designed to take out capital ships much larger than the Helios itself.

History of the Ship:
The Helios had been on a guerrilla mission in the Pegasus galaxy, the goal of it being to combat the Wraith, a race of vampiric hive-based race, near the Pegasus outpost, Atlantis.
After sustaining considerable damage in an engagement with 10 hive ships, the Helios was scheduled to return to the Milky Way via the Supergate linking the two galaxies. As the Helios passed through the event horizon of the wormhole two hive ships attacked the gate itself and the wormhole connection was severed mid transit.

Some Important People:
Colonel Darius Mills:
Colonel Mills is the captain of the ship. He has a tactical mind and can quickly come up with a solution to any situation. He usually acts cold and calculated but has deep care for his crew.

Major Irene Luna:
The ship navigator, Irene is more high-strung than most of the crew. Even the captain has issues keeping her in check. Her attitude would have likely had her discharged from the Airforce if it weren’t for her amazing piloting skills and daring maneuvering in combat.

Major Thomas Fields:
All-around fun to be around, when on his post as the ships weapons officer, he puts all the fun stuff aside, his entire focus on the task at hand and never questions orders.

Dominic Foley:
Chief Engineer of the Helios, Dominic is quite the pessimist. He abides by Murphey’s law which makes him a valuable asset as he prepares for nearly any issue that can come up. If something can go wrong, it will go wrong and if something will go wrong Foley will fix it.

Dr. Eleanor Rose:
Dr. Rose is the science officer of the Helios. Most of the time she seems simply aloof and she wouldn’t pass a scientist at first glance. The crew, however, knows what she’s capable of and trust he implicitly.

@NanoFreakV2

I thought this RP was already closed.

EDIT: Never mind. You were in the IC.

[Master Crim]

Y'all should join the Advent. We can give you cool psychic powers.

@Flamelord

probably not, the L1Z1X are a fiercely loyal militaristic race, and mostly robotic. They have molded themselves with the soul purpose of military advantage. Seeing as this RP will put them everyone in an uncharted place and time it will be fun to see how each ships and crews take the changes.

@Queen Raidne
Is it too late for me to add a few more notable crew?

[Hostile]

Y'all should join the Advent. We can give you cool psychic powers.

@Flamelord

I'm not joining a bunch of space wizards/Jedi/elves/hobos/whatever.

[Flamelord]

@Hostile

Come on now, that's not fair. Can the Jedi make a warship that runs on psychic powers? I think not. :V

[NanoFreakV2]

@Flamelord Pretty sure the Airforce military training includes resisting that kind of... brainwashing.

@Hostile Yep. I'm glad I even made it before the RP started. Usually when I'm not at home I still do some RP from my phone. Being at gamescom most of the day for 4 days makes it hard though.

[Silentsniper211]

@Flamelord

I think one or two of my crew would be interested in that "space wizards/Jedi/elves/hobos stuff"

[masterwriter234]

So this roleplay hasn't started yet I take it

[Hostile]

I like how some ships here are basically microscopic compared to the huge kilometre-long ships.

[Queen Raidne]

That was annoying. I had that post ready to go yesterday, but my internet in Cincinnati kept failing. I had to wait until after the drive back up to Cleveland before posting it. But, at last, finally, we have the first post!

Feel free to start your first posts in the wormhole, if you like. Or just pop out as I did. And I purposefully left a spot open for someone to pop in from the wormhole and receive my transmission.

Y'all should join the Advent. We can give you cool psychic powers.

@Flamelord

: No, no! In Soviet Russia, Union join you!

~~~~~~

So this roleplay hasn't started yet I take it

@masterwriter234

Well, now it has, but it's still closed to newcomers regardless. If and until someone drops, I won't be accepting applications unless you've already posted in the Interest Check.

_{I'm totally}

^{for Stargate.}

I'm rewatching all of the shows right now, because I realized that I can no longer recall the plot of any episode after only seeing the first 30 seconds. I'm on season two of SG-1. Amazon Prime has all of them. AMAZON PRIME HAS ALL THE STARGATES.

I first started watching after I caught Moebius (S8 E19 & 20) on TV and thought it was a time travel show. And then I saw another episode (Thor's Hammer, S1 E10), but I still didn't quite understand what was going on. Since I came in on the middle of the episode, I thought Teal'c's "junior" (aka larval Goa'uld) was his staff weapon, and that somehow this alien would die if his staff weapon was destroyed.

_{I was all:}

Thereafter I was hooked.

Most attractive characters: Vala, Teal'c (I would throw Daniel in here, but he's more cute than blatantly hot).

How do you feel about Landry? Jonas? Mitchell?

Oh, uh, sorry if you are more into Universe or Atlantis. I liked those, too; I'm just not in the middle of watching them right now.

Ooh, RWBY, too? Why are we not friends yet?

Imma throw some other series at you to see what sticks

Lost Girl
New Girl
The Expanse
Penny Dreadful
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Don't Trust the B____ in Apt 23
The Good Guys
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip
The West Wing
Man in the High Castle

*ahem*

Ooh, links to a wiki! Your bonus point.*

I was going to make a comment about how the Asgard tech might make your ship a bit OP, but you've already headed me off by inducing massive battle damage before your arrival, so I'll allow it. Of special importance, however, note that your intergalactic hyperdrive should definitely damaged. Otherwise we as a group aren't really stranded, are we?

Of course, I'm not saying that it can't eventually be repaired with some strange amalgamation of alien and 'gate tech.

Accepted! Go ahead and post it in the characters tab.

^{*Seriously, check out that zooooommmm!}

[Queen Raidne]

@Master Crim

Damnit, how do I keep forgetting you?

Yeah! Feel free to add more details to your character sheet whenever and in whatever manner you feel like. That goes for everyone. At this point, character sheets are more for our reference than anything else.

[Flamelord]

<Snipped quote by Flamelord>

: No, no! In Soviet Russia, Union join you!

@Queen Raidne

I believe that was what I was requesting, so thank you and welcome to the Unity. :V

[Queen Raidne]

Actually, given how the Soviets were betrayed by the megalomaniacal psychic Yuri from within, meeting a ship full of psychics would be... interesting. Part of the Soviets would be naturally inclined to learn the secrets of psychic powers, if only to defend themselves against such powers. Another part would want to destroy the psychics before their "inevitable" betrayal. Naturally they'd attempt to do both at once.

That means there would be at least one period of peace in which the Advent has time to change the Soviet's minds. Teehee.
