Ohhhhhh, oh okay. I'm sorry! I'll edit my post to just make Reggie say "Well, I couldn't find shit on this thing so it must've been a black ops project, or maybe it's just that new.", or something of that sort. I hope that'd be better?

Alright, done and done, I hope that fits in alright.
No problem.
Like I said, I haven't even told this before.
Yeah, it looks fine.
On a different note what's the issue with a name like "The Vulture's Claw"?
I mean your captain here. Maybe because it isn't the typical name he sees for warships?

Mainly I think vultures aren't exactly indigenous to all of the hegemony's holdings and systems, so he probably never heard of them before and thinks it's some sort of stupid made up word like "garglesnap" or 'butterjoops'. I personally think it's a pretty cool name.

Reminds me when Zeon soldiers ended up in a thunder storm and thought the lightning strikes were a new Federation superweapon.


And yeah, the name also fits.
Symbolizes well the kind of carnage they're created for.
On a related note if I wish to give a contemporary relation to my ship, it's like a soviet nuclear submarine.
During stealth my style with the ship will be also rather similar to old submarines.

Heheheh, yeah, sort of like that. I like how you're planning a submarine motif though, that's pretty neato. Good luck with that, I have no idea what the closest thing my ship would be. Kamikaze aircraft carrier?

@CapraGod, that's exactly what the Vulture's Claw need, more trouble.
Two military forces are already in a subtle power struggle with each other. You just added a third.

Posted.
It's basically an internal monologue from the captain about the perilous situation aboard the HSV Vulture's Claw.

Nope, Don't think so. Kio would know for sure. I mean, looks like all the posts are taken, but maybe Kio has something cooked up...?

In any case, That was awesome Vereb!

@LHG100Thank you.
Personally I think it's slightly haphazard and has a number of errors in it but regardless the post manages to get the point across.
At first I planned to make the Captain a tough prideful and maybe even a bit old styled commander while the XO is a sneaky business-like smirking merc.
It would've worked but I found the current Yvon/Cezard duo better.
Either way the Vulture's Claw is going to be an awesome ship.
An awesomely fucked up ship.

Marissia Renard - A senior fleet officer from the world of Aldivi an old and central colony of the Hegemony. Id like for her to have served with Captain Lee of the Resource before, possibly during counter revolutionary activities in the Pegimind Cluster. She was XO on a ship that was hit hard underwent emergency battle field repairs.


I'd be more than happy with that! Lee probably just has a list of ship names, not COs, so it'll be a pleasant surprise to see that Marissa is doing well for herself after all this time! If you want to go into more detail about the battle/scope of the damage to your ship or w/e, feel free to hit me up on PM or in here.

Oh, and do people want to do write-ups on their home worlds if they choose to have one? Might help build some character interaction if we knew some of the stereotypes or histories of where they came from, or if the GM/other players prefer we can leave it deliberately blank and fill it in with random little snippets of info from ourselves/other players.

It is still open, although not for HDSTF148. I do have things planned that require a person.

I like to think Reggie comes from some heavily industrialized, 'what-the-fuck-is-a-rat'-even fucked up biosphere due to how goddamn urban it was. So people from there, they're all probably stereotypically either members of secret gangs or something, or really fucking stuck up if they're upper-class.

So would he be upper class, being an officer, or maybe he's a rare member of the middle or lower classes who made officer (and that's why he's stuck with the ancient relic)?

Yeah! I wanted to think he was of the lower classes that somehow did well enough to be captain through a miraculous series of events.

Maybe the Hegemony put out a call to all worlds to supply more ships and crews, to explore the frontier, so Reggie's planet just gave them the old ships and crew clogging up their System Defence Fleet? That begs the question, what are they doing with their best ships/crews and why do they need to keep them at home?

Yeah, for fun :p ! I was angling for Lee to come from an old colony, one that pre-dates the Hegemony. For the sake of argument, "New Britannia". They have always been loyal to "Earth", though obviously no one from there has ever seen humanity's fabled birthplace. The long service of the world means they are regarded as loyalists by the Hegemony leadership, so they get certain breaks and favours, maybe pissing off colonies who are less compliant? However, after centuries of ship-building and void fighting, the Britannians have a reputation within the fleet as highly competent voidsmen, with a proud tradition and highly effective officer training regime that has lead to them earning a (somewhat grudging) respect amongst their comrades.

That sounds pretty good BWFC! In any case, I hope Capra's on, since I basically spoke to him first. feel free to make The Resources' captain rebuke Reggie really quick though.
