Triarian forces

As a result of conflicting goals, Collective forces may be forced to attack Equestrian forces on Hach planets. They have classified every Equestrian unit that continues to assist in the pointless continuation of a conflict that should be settled peacefully as 'Malignant virulent contagions'. In spite of this the Collective is avoiding confrontation with Equestrian forces, trying to continue disarming the Hach rebels and Hach military instead. Collective forces have spread across Hach colonial worlds, continuing their actions in an attempt to end the instability

Message to the Equestrians
"Cease dragging out the war and causing needless death. Assist us in subduing violence. Hach internal conflict is not compatible with the greater good"

Message to the Hach (Broadcasted to as many devices as possible"
"Cease your internal conflict and coagulate."

Colony 257 Orbital combat.

The overseer cocked an eyebrow, and turned his Evocatus towards the enemy, powering up its deadly energy projectors, the same weapon that could turn dozens of miles into glass with a single shot. The two princeps that were already engaged with the enemy sped up, and began to circle the enemy, firing more and more plasma at it, obviously working on the maxim that if they press the assault it shall be destroyed. The energy projector fired, avoiding its own allies as it was dragged through space, scything through the black void towards the enemy. All ships focussed on what they believed to be the engines, wishing to disable its movements

Colony 257
The Assembly walker stomped forwards, then its upper body rotated towards the colonial base. It stomped towards the base, powering up its dark energy caster. It seems that since they cannot seize the base they are going to turn the entire area into a crater. Rather than fire, however, it seems to be waiting, as if baiting a surrender from them. It isn't clear whether they are bluffing or not, due to the Collectives reputation. As if to prove that it means business, however, it fired one of its warp cannons. The thin blue beam flickered out, then there was a distortion around part of the assembly walker before the beam thickened. At the focal point, the deadly and devastating warp opened tearing one of the smaller base structures apart as it caused an implosion, before exploding and disintegrating anyone unfortunate another to have been within ten meters of the building. The habitat walker continued its movements away from the base after dropping a large number of Synth soldiers, and mechs were teleported out of the assembly walker, phase tanks gliding towards the colonial base, activating their phase generators as they did
Meanwhile, a dropship came down to the planet, landing along its Equator, a few miles a way from a half destroyed city. It dropped a Psionic Amplifier onto the ground, and Collective forces dashed around securing an area. They deployed spherical shielding to protect the area, and stalkers got into position to get a pine of sight on the approaches, Synth Soldiers dug in, etc. A Triarian approached the amplifier and climbed through the open hatch... The hatch closed, and the beacon activated, charging up.
"Alert. Unknown exogen detected." Overwatch reported, and the Overseer tapped a few commands
"They are breaching the clamp. Soul of hatred, Truth is Subjective, break off and engage." The overseer ordered, and two of the princeps destroyers broke off, moving towards the unknown exogen ships and transmitting a message
"Move away, or you shall be amputated" The message read, and a few moments later the ships opened fire on the seeders with arcs of plasma, which was still mainline ship weaponry for technical purposes. The deadly super heated plasma, graded for destroying battleship armour, flew through the black of space.

The main section of the group continued to set up the clamp, and a few more ships (Three hastati and another Evocatus) appeared in the system, spreading out to set up the clamp around the planet, ensuring there was line of sight on as many exits as possible from the planet. Drone fighters left the ships, patrolling the planets atmosphere.
Meanwhile, Forces on the ground spread out, acting in an attempt to disarm all forces and restore order.
Colony 257

High in orbit above the planet, the group overseer listened to the CPZ galactic aid request. He paused, considering as Overwatch spoke
". Alert, dissection detected. Alert. Colony sociostability index is marginal. Polistabilisation index lost."
"Prepare the troops, code: Inject, sterilise, stabilise" The overseer ordered, as the group moved closer to the planet, the Aquilifer preparing to release its troops
"Rules of engagement?"
"Dagger. Echo, confirm"
"We obey."
The ships moved closer to provide close support and cut off reinforcements, and ships were deployed from Triarian space to assist other CPZ planeta
From the ground could be seen a plume as the Aquilifer entered the atmosphere, and dropships moved down to the planet. There was a crack, and then a deafening noise as something pounded into the ground on either side of the Colonial Base, blasting dirt up into the air. Once it settled, a habitat walker and an Assembly walker marched through the dust, coming into sight in their towering glory, a single of their legs dwarfing the base, the top of the habitat walker 600 meters from the ground, maybe more, and the assembly walker around double that. They began to move forwards, preparing their forces for deployment as the drop ships landed and began to deploy forces. The Triarian Collective transmitted a planet wide message
"Attention, please. Your planet has been deemed unstable. Order shall be restored.

The overseer watched the view screens "Get me reinforcements, clamp the sector. No one may leave without my permission... If they try, shoot them."
"Yes, praelatus meus"

If the draconians, for some reason couldn't produce emp resistant electronics why was there a war in the first place? They replaced their brains with electronics after all...
Alright, I have to agree the idea that they were unable to produce emp resistant electronics rather silly, because sure they would have made sure they knew that before replacing their brains with circuits...
What? EMPs? Where has this come from? i
I never said that, I don't recall whether keyguy or duck said that, but I didn't. What I have said before is that the Collective went out of their way to burn worlds they could have captured intact to make sure the Draconians on it were dead. That is mutually exclusive to using EMPs (Which obviously the Draconians could defend against) to take a planet intact. Really, does the Collective seem as though it wants or needs the Draconian planets?
The player of the Draconians had left, we needed the Draconian empire to be out of the way as a result. Ergo, dead.
Besides, wasn't there once a post from rogue saying most fleets in the milky way were disproportionately large to those found elsewhere? So what if the Draconian empire (Which once lost a front to one of these supposedly smaller fleets) didn't actually have the numbers to stop the milky way forces?
As for not hitting key positions, could you actually win such a war without it? There is barely written surrounding that war other than a few key dates because it was really a backstory to explain the disappearance of the Draconian Empire once its player left.
As for 'you three saying your moving forum' I had zero input in that suggestion in the first place, I merely voted on a course of action for the role play. If rogue had came over, would the war have been Rped? Of course, but he didn't so there was no point, it was easier for a time skip
Did Rogue also tell you how the Collective kicked both Equestrian and Draconian butt at the same time on Morn? Granted there were only a few Draconian teams, but that was proof they weren't an immortal fighting force

The truth is, for all the Draconians advanced technology, it seemed people were catching up. Supposedly one of the ships was carrying Dark Energy, which was rare in the Draconian empire. In the Collective, nearly everything is running off dark energy. Add their FTL travel, the use of quantum gates for inter galaxy travel while both the Equestrians and the Collective were moving between galaxies without it.

Light rifles equivalent to human heavy assault rifles? If I remember humans were still using ballistics, while everyone else was using much more powerful weaponry

And their empire was in chaos with the loss of Sanctum, under assault on many different fronts while facing assaults from powerful nations not just from the milky way but from other galaxies (Ylfrish anyone? They kicked Draconian butt too...) For all Rogues talk of tactics, its odd he doesn't consider the effect of losing your entire home galaxy that was acting as a command and control hub. Logistical mayhem, morale loss, broken command structure etc.
Bringing the milky way against them on top of it only shortened the time, their demise would have been ensured, even without the forces of the milky way, the Ylfrish were clearly just as destructive and powerful and presumably actually still had their logistics intact, since they launched a coordinated attack on a Draconian area of resource importance
If they have been able to avoid detection, survive the inhospitable climate, managed to take a Triarian down before he even noticed they were there (A second is too long, due to the telepathic link, to remain completely unknown) then managed to move the Triarian and keep him alive returning him to stasis (They live on worlds with temperatures in excess of 400 Celsius) then ensure he cant even have a second awake and loose (They manipulate energy, you don't want that loose) while avoiding the big brother surveillance and dodging Triarian space security (In their main, relatively physiologically consistent form, they were made by the Aetherii and were existing within the Aetherii until their devolution, after which they spent just over a thousand years returning to space faring status) then yes. Just know the majority captured will be those from the interlude years due to that having been the easiest time to capture them (The period between devolution and space faring status)
Argutus update

The energy blade has been updated. By coursing dark energy around the edge of the blade, its deadly edges can slice through nearly anything, due to the unique way dark energy works. Imbedded into the gauntlet, it turns what was previously a viable close combat weapon to a technologically brilliant and dangerous weapon, adding to the fear surrounding it

Colony 257
A small group of ships, Two Evocatus, three princeps and a aquilifer arrive above colony 257 to investigate, peering in from the edge of the system. Their weapons are armed but they don't fire on anyone, instead raising their shielding
Look out! Dem Illegal aliens!

I should point out disappearances among Collective races is very, very rare and far between, mostly because everyone is monitored at all times by its civilis protectione caste. This has been going on for eons, since the advent of the Collective, since individual rights are placed after state security. Out of the handful of disappearances which do happen, they are usually government orchestrated or experimental tech errors in Argutus labs
Actually the Draconian goddess actually allowed both the destruction of the Sanctum and further the death of her people.
Past that, the Triarii having forced gods away before, I don't think its impossible to believe they could do it again... Heck, the Equestrians trapped a god like being on the edge of the galaxy.

As for taking the flak for abductions, they partook in abductions and the humans have apparently never made a connection, that or they are sticking so close to the common sense doctrine they don't care
Don't expect to have abducted live Triarii though, the state generally kills them or they commit mental suicide rather than allow their capture, but then again you only need the bodies so xD
Sounds like it could be fun

Why would there be a difference between the cloning techniques? Its the stage after that which is different.
if they are put through the Triarian design of memory replacement, a complex art that relies on the machine manipulating brainwaves and imprinting pro-collective memories while removing the other memories. If you go in a anti-Collective artist you might come out a pro-collective soldier with your name reduced to a number, all your former life and personality gone, all depending on the settings. Why would it matter what fabricated the Draconians in the first place, if you are replacing someone's entire thoughts and personality what can they fo?

Though assuming Ted wasn't changed like this, his personality is very strange for a Draconian
