The War of the Three

Arriving in the throne room of High queen Eos, Endian was undisturbed by the cold that surrounded them. Even if she were not made for this sort of thing, it was only fair after what had happened aboard the Elicitor. Though some might wonder whether Eos deliberately kept it this cold, in order to discomfort visitors and establish herself in a superior position as the conversation went on.

Whether or not it was the truth, she was also pleasantly surprised to find herself joined by Mu-01, another of Krieg's avatars, as well as the two maids who had been partially responsible for their only success in this fight. Not that a single prisoner compared to the prize that they had lost, but it was at least a bright spot over what had been a disaster otherwise.

Endian stood at attention as Eos began to speak, acknowledging the loss and surprised to not find her receiving at least some chastisement for her failure to hold on to the Treasure that they had lost. She understood that they needed to focus on the future, of course, but given how important the mission had been portrayed she would have expected at least a bit of reprisal by Eos, verbal or otherwise. It wasn't like it would be unwarranted.

Instead, they were prepared for their next assignment. She had a new command ship, for what it would be worth, while Grafdakka was given a new battle frame and the same was done for their other companions, since it seemed that this battle would be underwater. A difficult task, but one that the Machina could deal with when it came down to it. It was hardly the most hostile environment there could have been for a battle.

As they talked, she was already accessing the data that the Machina had on the ruins, quickly running through to make sure that she was as informed as she possibly could be. "No. Thank you High Queen." With that she would bow before turning to leave the room so she could plan for the upcoming offensive. She was determined to make sure that this would not end as the last battle had.

With a flutter of her wings, Tartys arrived at the angelic camp for the next battle that was to begin. She had been less than amazing during the battle over the Elicitor, not majorly screwing up but also not distinguishing herself either. Along with the rest of those that she had fought with she had been brought here, to assist in securing the ruins.

Admittedly, she wasn't totally looking forward to this fight. It was just the whole 'underwater' part. Not that she couldn't go underwater, mind, it was just that she felt so slow when beneath the water, and she was fairly confident that it made her less effective of a fighter as a result.

But she couldn't worry about that, not when she had a task to do. So she moved through the camp until she found those who were preparing the battle. 'Pardon my interruption," she said with a bow. "I was sent here to assist with the upcoming battle." She didn't know what they had in mind, but whatever it was she would do what needed to be done to win.

Ba'al expressed no confusion as people misinterpreted what he said to their own whims, especially when it related to the Goa'uld aspirations in outer space. While he would, in time, like to claim the rest of the solar system, there had been no actual attempt to do so. But that was alright by him if that was what they expected from him. The more they dismissed him, the worse it would be for them when the time came to strike.

So he was not surprised as the Imperium objected, indicating that they would talk about space later and offering him all of Asia. Which was impressive, especially for the regard they seemed to hold him in. "I will consider it," he replied before the Imperium turned to talking with the remnants of the Alliance about their border. He was merely surprised that his original land claims were backed by the Outliners, though he was sure that they had an ulterior motive in doing so. They didn't act from the kindness of their hearts after all.

to the Alliance demands he and his wife could only snort in derision, along with some of the other factions present. "Please, i would never agree to such ridiculous demands without some incentive to do so," Ba'al noted aloud. Access to their technology would be nice, but not if it came at the expense of handing over his own. The only demand acceptable was the restaurant one, as...eccentric as it was.

He shifted to look at the Outliners as they proposed their suggestion that space exploration be limited, and resolved to ignore it. It was obvious that they wanted to keep a monopoly in orbit for themselves, and that was something he could not tolerate. Indeed, he was already working on that particular problem. It was just a matter of time.

He was prepared for the negotiations to go on until....

An eyebrow rose in curious amusement as the storm formed within eyesight range, turning into some sort of twister before a portal ripped through the center to disgorge a massive ship above. It was impressive, sure, though Qetesh snorted with derision as she looked upon it. It could not match up to the Goa'uld, no matter how big it was. But it did distract from everything else, up until the new delegates arrived and the meeting began to fall apart.

"Well then, this was a waste of our time after all. I apologize for doubting you Qetesh," Ba'al said with a sigh as the delegates prepared to break out into armed violence right here. Not that it would be a problem for him, with access to teleportation. In the meanwhile the press of a button would send a signal out, and from the Goa'uld's territory two Ha'tak vessels would set course for the newly arrived Temple Ship, to meet one show of force with another. And in the meanwhile, he waited to see how things would go.

Across the world in Alliance territory, a dark haired girl sighed as she sat at the counter of a restaurant. Her hand brushed against her MP3 player as she waited for her order to arrive, wearing a smile on her face and dressed in her usual garb of a t shirt and a skirt.

It had been some time since Saten Ruiko had found herself here, some time since she had made contact with the strange people that now dominated this world of Arcadia. Initially encountering the Dark Outliners, she was then recruited by Nova and the Imperium, the God-Emperor giving her access to her Esper powers without the need for the Level Upper program that she had resorted to in the past. Since then she had helped out, fought when she had to, and had tried to rebuild her life here.

It was...weird, having access to her powers now. She had learned to do so much more than she could have thought possible, and her only regret that Uiharu hadn't been here to see it. Together the two of them could have had a great time, and she could have shown her friend that she was more than the accusations hurled at her, that power wasn't the only thing she cared about. But it was too late now.

At last her food arrived, and a hum of satisfaction escaped as she looked on the cheeseburger, fries, and drink. "Welp, time to eat," Saten said to herself before she dug in. Just another day in the life, for now.

Ship Name:

Vorascant

Universe Background:

Once upon a time there was a group known as the Trade Order. Formed after the great wars and encompassing most of known space, the formation of the Order heralded a millennia of peace and prosperity. Yet in that beginning they sowed the seeds of their own destruction. Messengers were sent to all known worlds, to have them join the Order itself. One of those planets was a desert world orbiting a red star. There they found a thriving civilization known as the Advent.

The Advent initially rebuffed the request to join the Trade Order, and in turn the emissaries decided to send a team to research the Advent. What they leaned horrified them. Cerebral Integration Technologies, unrestricted biological experimentation, strange forms of collectivism, and the wholesale usage of countless neurochemicals, practices that were taboo to the Trade Order, and when they found out the Order voted overwhelmingly, seized control of the local area, and expelled the advent from Order space.

Driven into exile, a scar was created on the advent psyche. They devoted all their efforts to a quest for revenge, developing their technology to new heights and using all their resources to create an armada. Then when the time was right they struck, hitting the newly formed Trader Emergency Coalition's flank and beginning a bloody thirty year war that would see no peace, but rather the crumbling of loyalty within the Advent itself, as some wondered whether the Unity itself was corrupt as a result of this drive for revenge.

Crew Complement:

As a Mothership type vessel, the Vorascant has a compliment of 3,800 people, many of whom are to be used for colonization efforts on worlds that have been inducted into the Advent. The members of the Advent are human, but can have varying amounts of artificial implants to augment their psionic abilities.

Ship Description:



The Vorascant is a Progenitor class Mothership, designed by the Advent to travel the stars and induct new converts into the will of the Unity, especially on those planets who have up until this point been involved in the conflict. They are some of the most in tune with the collective will of the Unity, making them uniquely suited for their mission.

Capable of supporting up to three squadrons of strike craft, the Vorascant is equipped with multiple banks of pulse lasers and plasma turrets for defense and offensive firepower. It is also capable of orbital bombardment, though it itns't particularly fact when acting in an isolated capacity.

Defensively, the Advent have light ships with relatively weak hulls that are held in place telekinetically via PsiTech (the name for the Advent's psionically integrated technology), their defenses based on sophisticated shielding systems that can take quite a bit of punishment and keep on going. The ship itself is designed to look like a brain, and navigation is provided via those with Psionic abilities.

As far as power is concerned, the ship relies on cold fusion for basic power, but it also has an antimatter reactor which is used when in combat situations, or to power the phase drive.

Unique Capabilities:

Aside from the ability to colonize planets for the Advent, the Vorascant has access to several interesting abilities.

Due to their strong connection to the Unity and the psionic abilities of those aboard, the Vorascant is able to capture the minds of those on destroyed ships who had been connected to the Unity, channeling their knowledge and experience to the crew of a similar vessel, so they may benefit rather than having it lost.

The Vorascant is also capable of channeling energy from itself to allied ships within a certain radius, allowing it to assist in recharging their shields for a short duration of time.

Lastly it has a most peculiar ability. using the psionic abilities of the crew, it is able to take the pain inflicted on a ship being attacked (the exhaustion and suffering of the crew aboard and whatever pain they may feel from successful damage) and project it onto the minds of all ships within a certain radius around the Vorascant itself. this cannot be kept up continuously, but it provides a short term advantage in combat.

History of the Ship:

The Vorascant was built during the second phase of the war, a period where starbases were being constructed to hold vital sectors, and there was an all around stiffening of defenses. She was devoted to securing said defensive lines, enlisting those planets which had not yet joined into the Unity, and taking part in the occasional offensive against the TEC to straighten out weak spots in the line and infringe upon their territory.

It was only within the past few years that the Vorascant saw real action, the sundering of the Unity redrawing battle lines and influence, and they were sent out to reclaim territory not only from their external foes, but from the internal ones as well. Indeed, it was when they were responding to a call for aid on a desert world that was being attacked by a significant force that the Vorascant was swept away. They didn't even realize that anything was wrong, using the wormhole for a short cut to the battlezone.

Some Important People:

Scryer Alera Vesting - the ships navigator and guide amongst the stars, using her psionic powers to see the path that leads them onwards.

Psintegrate Lorana Derres - Essentially serving as the ships weapons officer, she coordinates the Psintegrates that man the defenses and weaponry of the Vorascant when in combat situations.

Coalescent Carina Hamp - The captain of the Vorscant, her word is seen as undeniable truth and law, and she commands the oyalty of the crew with a strong had and her PsiTech abilities.

@Flamelord "Trade Order?" *Immediately thinks of T.E.C. in her head.* Advent? WAIT OHMIGOSH I WAS RIGHT. Haha! Marvelous! I was just playing Sins earlier this week! I'm a Vasari girl myself, but I always find myself drawn toward evil factions. It's just too entertaining to suck planets dry to nothingness.

Anyway, you're accepted! Go post your sheet in the characters tab.

@Queen Raidne

Don't worry, the other factions will know the embrace of the Unity in time.

Oh, and story mode. Coming this next expansion. Promise. (Ignore that they said the same thing for Rebellion)

<Snipped quote by Flamelord>
I've been outed!
Abort!

Heh, can't hide it that easily.

Multiverse Rising: Reborn

Welp, this meeting escalated quickly.

Well, I play trombone, and I am something of an aspiring writer.

@Flamelord You know who else had a Keikaku?

Aizen.

You know where he is, now that Bleach is finished?

Strapped to a chain in a bondage, latex coat.

Don't be an Aizen.

@Savato

You know you say that, but given that everyone else here has a plan I feel obligated to have one myself. Otherwise what good is this faction that specializes in espionage and infiltration, with convenient access to gigaton yield suitcase nukes?

Multiverse Rising: Reborn

Yes, keep mocking the Goa'uld. All according to keikaku.

Multiverse Rising: Reborn

Looking over at Drago, it was easy to tell that Qetesh was not pleased with the command that he had dared to try and give her. "Primitive brute," she snapped as she glared across the meeting room at him. "You would dare to speak to a god in such a manner? I will not still my tongue simply because it offends your unrefined sensibilities." That said, she fell silent for the lack of having anything else to say at the moment.

"I'm afraid I can't do that," Ba'al added with a smug grin of his own as he relaxed in his seat. "She is as much a ruler of the Empire as I am, and I doubt I could silence her even if I wanted to." It was nice to have an external foe such as this, someone who could focus his wifes energies into combating. Rather than, well, himself.

With that said though it didn't take long for the meeting itself to begin, some Imperium diplomat calling the whole thing to order so they negotiations could begin in earnest. At the same time some other guys showed up, punctually late as if that would impress people at all. Which Ba'al wasn't, and he did his best to ignore the Outliners and their volatile representatives. As best he could anyway.

Qetesh was a bit less successful in that. "Hmph, what an intriguing little creature," she noted aloud. "I'm sure Nirrti would love to get her hands on one for some of her experiments." Did Eto really think that she could insult or threaten a Goa'uld without repercussions? As if.

Nonetheless, the two of them paid attention to the conversation as well, and the Outliners initial suggestions. It was interesting, though there were several other things that would need to be handled at the same time. "The Goa'uld Star Empire will be claiming possession of the Southern Hemisphere of Arcadia," Ba'al said before glancing across the table to the Outliners. "We would also like to discuss access to orbit as well as the rest of the Solar System." He was well aware of the space based nature they had, and if he could counter that then so much the better.

That said, he then addressed the initial proposal. "While your proposal may have merit, how do you plan to enforce any sorts of limitations on the usage of the Terminals, much less come up with effective limitations on them in the first place? I will certainly not be allowing foreign oversight of the usage of the resources within my territory."
