"We have had nobody sent that far out, and all ships meant to be in that sector have been accounted for, meaning it could only be an unknown race. Certainly we do not have the technology to send a signal that far."

Jennifer ran her hand through her hair in an attempt to straighten it a little. She had been roused from slumber in order to answer a priority transmission from the command unit in the system. "And you're sending me." She says, sounding more of a statement rather than a question. The reply she got was a nod from the man who's face dominated the main screen. Around Jennifer, the staff on the bridge were attempting to look busy, however she knew that a number of them were most likely listening into the conversation. She would brief the senior staff in the time it takes in the jump from this system to the next system on the five jumps toward the mystery system.

"Good luck on this mission. May you be safe on your mission." He says, before vanishing from the screen, being replaced by a status display on various ship systems. Jennifer stands still, studying the display for a moment, before sitting in the command chair. "Navigation, plot us a course to-" Jennifer pinged the location of the signal to the navigation officer. "There. Take the fastest route, the least FTL jumps, please. Communications, send a log to the nearest station." She sat back, and watched the officers as they jumped to their duties, and prepared the ship for the journey. "Coms, ship broadcast." Jennifer orders. The officer gave her a thumbs up.

"Crew of Lightbringer, we are en-route to a system which we have not explored. It is suspected that there is an alien race with some sort of broadcasting technology there, as we have received a signal from the system. That is all." Jennifer did a cutting motion to the communications officer, who cut the broadcast. "I don't know how you do it, ma'am." The man says. "You're always so calm while broadcasting something. I always have to compose myself beforehand." Jennifer giggles a little, and gives a small smile to the man. "I have no idea how I do it either." She stands. "Tactical, you have the bridge." She says. The tactical officer nods. "Aye ma'am. I relieve you." "I stand relieved."

After a shower and a very long, undisturbed sleep, Jennifer spent time doing paperwork. It wasn't something she liked, but it had to be done. Another eternity passed, and finally, she heard the tone of the broadcast system, before the communications officer spoke. "Captain is required on the bridge, repeat, captain to the bridge." Jennifer felt relieved that there was something to do other than paperwork, and she stood, taking a walk to the bridge. The walk was little under a minute; the captain's quarters was close to the bridge in case the captain was needed in an emergency. The ship's XO was in the secondary bridge, deeper in the ship, in case the first bridge was damaged.

"Report," Jennifer asks, as she takes her seat. "Ma'am, we are two minutes away from the beacon's system." The tactical officer says. He moves an empty map onto the main screen of the bridge. As soon as they entered the system, the map would fill, based on sensor reports. And that it did. As they entered the system, the map filled up with reports. There were two ships in the system, as well as a station, as both the tactical officer and the display showed her. "My, what a planet that is." Jennifer mumbles. Her eyes then turned to the signatures of the two ships. The Lightbringer was clearly larger than one of the two ships, however the other one seemed to be a good size. "Launch a pair of drone squadrons, four per, and send them to both of those ships, broadcasting peace." The Zenohunt orders. "Navigation, take us closer to the ships, behind the drones."

Just as she had ordered, two flights of drones flew to both of the ships, Flight one heading to the smaller ship, flight two heading to the larger, with Lightbringer behind flight two. "I want an analysis on the ships' weapons, if they are obvious. Coms, have we picked up a response to the peace signal?" "No ma'am, no signal-" Suddenly, the communications officer was interrupted by a burst from the tactical officer. "We have missile launch! Four times missiles headed for the drones!" The display showed four blue dots, the drones, and four red dots, the missiles. As one of the red dots disappeared, a burst of red dots appeared on the screen, and two of the drones exploded. "That's not good. Bring weapons online! Hit them before they hit us! Full reverse!" All of her orders were received, and Lightbringer began to reverse away from the new threat. One more drone exploded, and the last one turned tail to fly back to the carrier. The weapons of the carrier managed to remove the last two missiles from the fray. "Missiles neutralized. Threats neutralized." Tactical said. As if to prove him wrong that there were no more threats, the remaining drone vanished from the display's map. At the same time, there was a small puff of white in space as the drone exploded. "Report. What happened to the drone?" Jennifer asks, looking to the display. There was a general murmur through the bridge, which quietened down as the tactical officer spoke. "The drone sent in a damage report of a major heat buildup, though the heat built up way to fast for the drone to have overheated. Those things are built to survive a little overheat."

Jennifer shook her head. Why the drone had exploded was a mystery. "Turn us to the other ship, and take it closer to it. But stay out of range of the large ship." There was no way to identify the larger ship by class. It was one ship. For all she knew, it could be a mere corvette to whoever owned it. "And continue broadcasting peace over all frequencies."

~ICE!~ ~The Intergalactic Collision of Entities, the next Science Fiction Nation Roleplay!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Application (NATION)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nation Name: United Zenohunt Federation
Nation TAG: UZF (Ship name)
Nation Race: Zenohunts - Biologically basically human, however they can have animal features, such as claws, a tail, ears of an animal, etc. A Zenohunt's average lifespan varies, depending on where they live, however they live to roughly one hundred years of age.
Nation Government: Presidential, however the oldest child of the president is the next president when the current one dies. If the child has not reached the age of fifteen, an elected admiral of the United Zenohunt Space Navy will take over until the child has Waletairo.
Nation Inclination: The main interest that Zenohunts have is surviving, as they have been included in quite a few wars, among themselves and once against another race. As a secondary, they wish to ally with other races that they encounter, as to prevent another war.

Nation History: Zenohunts progressed through to an advanced age very quickly when a ship of unknown origin crashed on Lemea, their home planet. Being a race just into the iron age at that time, the Zenohunts claimed that the ship was from the gods, more specifically, from their goddess, Zariana. as technology was scavenged from this ship, a huge civil war was started as empires from all over Lemea heard of this event: The mighty goddess bringing down gifts from the skies. Much blood was shed in the first world-wide war of the Zenohunts. The Zenohunt population was cut down considerably. Finally, a mass agreement was made, and the Zenohunts were settled into peace once again.

However, this all ended One hundred years later. Through one hundred years, many things had happened. New cultures arised, space travel was a reality, but FTL travel was far from a reality. Economy rose, wars between countries had happened, however everything generally was in peace. However, on the Waletairo of a Zenohunt president's daughter, the president was assassinated. The new president, after her Waletairo, made every effort to find the murderer of her father. All of the clues, including weapon backtracking and intelligence pushing, led to the discovery that it was a different country that had done the deed. So, she, as well as her allies, waged war on the opposing country, to which her allies followed, starting a war that raged all through the Zenohunt space system. Not one secret weapon was left unused. Not one soul untouched. Everyone was affected in some way by the war.

However, after ten years of war, and both sides worn out, a third enemy entered the fray. The enemy was a race that was no more powerful than the Zenohunts, or, no more powerful than what the Zenohunts were before the war. Both sides were forced to fight against eachother as well as this new alien race, that had apparently come from a different planet in their system, one with a very far out orbit, so far that it was unseen by the Zenohunt sensors, and even then, their ships were built of an unknown material that stopped them from being detected. Another two years of fighting raged, with no success on either Zenohunt side.

One day, there was a battle, a battle well known by Zenohunts, as it is what shaped their future. The two sides of Zenohunts fought hard for a planet in the Zenohunt system, one rich with metals, and many ships were destroyed in the battle. However, far into the battle, the alien race presented itself once again, with an amount of ships that almost tripled those of both of the Zenohunt fleets combined. A captain of the blue side, the highest ranking officer on the blue side (as the admiral's flagship had been destroyed, along with the admiral herself, plus every other captain in the fleet), proposed a ceasefire to the red side's admiral. The admiral agreed, and both sides turned their fire to the new foe. In the end, the aliens were defeated, and both sides turned to eachother. Soon, this ceasefire was leaked out to other fleets, and the top brass of both sides decided to collaborate an attack on their alien foe. As expected, a year later, the last orbital bombardment shell was fired down upon the alien's home (their only) planet. However, when it was all over, instead of both fighting again, the sides halted their battling. They instead proposed an alliance to eachother. This was what created the United Zenohunt Federation.

Fifty years later, a breakthrough was made, and the secret to FTL travel was unlocked. However, the Zenohunt population was still heavily affected by the great war. As another two hundred years passed, only two new systems were colonized, and Zenohunt population slowly climbed again.[Whats the backstory, eh?]

Nation Culture: Zenohunts believe in a goddess who is named Zariana. She causes everything that happens, both good and bad.
When a Zenohunt reaches the age of fifteen, a celebration is called for, as Zenohunts are mature by the age of fifteen. This celebration is known as 'Waletairo', which in English would translate to 'Tailgrow', as in their tail being fully grown. Being fifteen is basically being twenty one as a Human. You can have any job you want, you can drink, have kids, etc.
Zenohunts like to build things that look good. A lot of their structures, ships, or even their weapons look very good indeed.

Nation Military Spacetypes: Zenohunt weaponry in mainly along the kinetic line, with many different types of weaponry, both small and large. Their ships range from corvettes all the way up to carriers, however they only have one supercarrier in existance, loaded with the most advanced technology that the Zenohunts have. Zenohunts like to hide defensive structures, like putting a railgun inside of an asteroid. Zenohunts are very advanced when it comes to drone and robotic technology, as they need to be to compensate for the lack of men to do the lesser work. Most of their fighter aircraft are drones, however their bombers and dropships have pilots as those can do things that drones can't, or simply can't be programmed for. Of course, even they sometimes might be drone-piloted. Fighter/bomber craft are mass-produced, both on planetary defense stations and in on-board factories on Zenohunt carriers and larger fighter-carrying warships. Being stationed on a Zenohunt carrier takes a lot of work, and skill, as it is known as a great honor to be on such an advanced ship.

The Zenohunts have only one 'fleet', consisting of around 20 ships, however they also have a large number of 'battlegroups' consisting of around 2-5 ships. Zenohunt carriers with the ability to Jigsaw can be referred to as battlegroups, since they have the ability to split.

Nation Civilian Spacetypes: Most civilian spacecraft are drone-piloted, and range from small luxary yachts all the way up to massive cargo ships. Civilian space stations dot around every single planet under their control, almost every one with an orbital elevator leading down to the planet's surface.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Application (WARSHIP)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lightbringer
Owner Nation: United Zenohunt Federation (Zenohunts)
Weight: Medium-heavy
Role: Carrier
Appearance: A large ship in the shape of an 'M', with the bridge buried into the center 'V'. The two parallel sides on either side have docking ports on the underside to fit drones. The middle V has the docking ports on the bottom, as well as a drone-factory buried inside.
Weapons:

Primary Weapon

-Labal-taburs (Ball-burst)
--Kinetic
---A burst of metal projectiles, fired from a turret. Like a shot from a shotgun, except every bit that comes from the shell has it's own barrel. The turret has seven small barrels in a circular shape.
--Ineffective against ships with thick armour or shields. Mainly an anti-strikecraft (fighter, bomber, dropship, etc.) weapon, but able to pelt at weaker armours. More effective the closer the target is.
--Bottom/2 , Top/5 (With Jigsaw: Bottom/0 , Top/1)

Secondary Weapon

-Wajigsa (Jigsaw)
--Specialized Attack Program
---Modular deployment of reinforcements. The two parallel sections of the ship split off (modularly) from the 'V', essentially creating two new ships, however weakening the speed (Loosing engines) and weapons (Loosing weapons) from the main carrier body. Able to be re-attached, with careful precision. Unable to be re-attached during battle.
--Weapons are ineffective against ships with thick armour or shields. Mainly an anti-strikecraft (fighter, bomber, dropship, etc.) ship, but able to pelt at weaker armours with their weapons. Weapons are more effective the closer the target is. Has strike-craft carrying capabilities, so it is able to carry and re-arm strike craft.
--(Both ships) Bottom/1 , Top/2

Defense

Point Defense and tertiary goes in extra hiders like this one [-]
-Interception
--Kinetic
---Fighter/Turret point defense
--With no room for shields, Fighters and Turrets (ball-burst turrets, the only turrets she has) are relied upon to take out enemy missiles and kinetic ordinance. Obviously uneffective against anything other than kinetic weaponry, however effective against missiles or large slugs.
--Fighters, as well as turrets: Bottom/2 , Top/5 (Changed with Jigsaw)

@KingTip@WilsonTurner Thanks for the help, you two! By the way, Wilson, my app is submitted to you via PMs. Now, time to hop into bed. Night, folks!

~ICE!~ ~The Intergalactic Collision of Entities, the next Science Fiction Nation Roleplay!

@WilsonTurner
*Holds up hand* Question: Is the Warship App for the warship class itself, or is it for a warship that is with the forces of the race going to the beacon? If so: Should we put the name of the ship in the app?

~ICE!~ ~The Intergalactic Collision of Entities, the next Science Fiction Nation Roleplay!

I'm up for this, but three things:
-This'll be my first nation RP. This may affect my performance in this RP, but I can adapt quite easily to situations, so I may get the hang of it easily.
-I'm posting this from (1)Brazil and (2)my mother's laptop. I won't get access to my Scottish hardware until August 1st. This will mean my posting rates will be slow(ish -I still get access to my mother's laptop after a day out-), however this will be my only RP until I get back, so I will be focused on this one. Just letting you know in case I disappear.
-You didn't add a post-length requirement anywhere. I dunno what I need to type! ^_^'

I'm writing up an app now. ^_^

Bandits: Taking law into our own hands

Cyan gave a hiss and had to stop herself from leaping at Tear, claws out, ready to slash at her. Instead, she slung her bow and returned her arrow to it's quiver before glaring straight at Tear with an angry expression on the rest on the rest of her face. "Mhm," She says. "Though I would prefer to sleep. To get back into that peaceful dream... That you interrupted me from!"

Bandits: Taking law into our own hands

Dreams of living in the underground settlement of Salapi, one of the hidden Zenohunt towns, were what filled Cyan's mind as she slept. Gentle dreams, filled with peace, peace, and peace. Nothing could disturb Cyan in her state of gentle slumber...

"Twenty guards coming!"

The sudden should ripped Cyan from the world of peace, ripped her from her sanctuary. The cat Zenohunt rolled to her feet, her bow in hand. She drew an arrow, and aimed her bow between every member of the group, finally resting it on Tear. "Why would you wake me like this?" She hisses, before lowering her bow, arrow still drawn. "I was enjoying my sleep." Cyan was clearly irritated, as usual when she woke up.

Bandits: Taking law into our own hands

Excited for the RP. ^_^

Bandits: Taking law into our own hands

Okay. *Taps foot*
