I just want to glass Coruscant

Two hails in a matter of seconds.

"Worf, bring us to Red Alert."

@Lord Wraith

One of which is from someone effectively saying "stay the fuck away from us until we know who you are."

Definitely a cause for red alert if I've ever seen one

Star Wars Invasion [A Multiverse Spaceship RP]

CAS-class Assault Carrier "Fires of Antiquity"

---

"Shipmaster! New vessel, foreign, it's not one we've seen before! We're observing evasive maneuver patterns!"

Remas looks over. "Put it on-screen." With the Stargazer on the main holographic display, the Sangheili's mandibles click. "Is it always natural for humans to put their bridges in such obvious positions? Helm, move us away from the Malevolence. Issue a warning to the new vessel to steer clear of our ship, at least, until we confirm they're... Friendly." Remas' voice is met with a mixture of "ayes."

To anyone able to pick up gravity disturbances, they'd be able to pick up large scale gravitic distortions coming from the Assault Carrier, as it slides sideways away from the Malevolence, shields coming alive. For it's size, the Fires of Antiquity moves with surprising speed and grace.

As for the Stargazer, it'd pick up a transmission from the Covenant battlenet, not a live one, but a message. If they read it...

>SHIPMASTER'S ORDERS: MAINTAIN DISTANCE FROM THE ASSAULT CARRIER "FIRES OF ANTIQUITY"
>SHIPMASTER'S ORDERS: PROVIDE IDENTIFICATION AT ONCE
>IDENTIFICATION AND COMMUNICATION PATTERNS ATTACHED

Most interesting, it looks like this vessel can do on-screen face to face video communication alongside various other forms of holographic communication! "Shipmaster, we are clear of the Malevolence! It appears they're using that vessel for a meeting, evidenced by the shuttle approaching." Remas looks over, for a moment considering if dealing with everyone else is truly worth dealing with.

"Blademaster, what do you suggest?" Vikti turns his head up slightly, looking to Remas. "If we want to gain further information on our... Allies, we should head over there as well. It is of my opinion that they are the only ones capable of posing a competent threat to us, we should observe them." A huff from the Shipmaster. "Send a request to the Malevolence, inform them that we desire to meet their leadership." Vikti nods. "Yes, Shipmaster." And with that, he's off to a nearby console.

I'm excited to see how the crew of the USS George Hammond reacts to having a huge as hell carrier pop into existence basically right next to them, as it appeared close to the Malevolence ^^

Honestly I don't think any off our ships could really stand up too that l

@Sep

Probably! I mean it is a WMD that's designed to render worlds uninhabitable with a fleet firing them in concert over the course of a few days

I think that the Blue Typhoon doubles as an aircraft carrier, if my memory is correct. Not sure how heavy it would hit compared to some of the other ships though

@Sir Lucario

Blue Typhoon is quite small though, it can't carry much outside of an air wing complement. The CAS-class on the other hand has enough room to carry two Charon-class frigates, plus everything else it already carries

Theres only one weapon placement that matters lets be real.

@Sep

the bigass weapon meant to glass things?

Star Wars Invasion [A Multiverse Spaceship RP]

<Snipped quote by Senhara>

I actually had that thought for the smaller non-FTL capable ships.

@Sep

yeah I looked at the fleet composition and thought "huh we could use another heavy hitter that doubles as a carrier."

Also I need to figure out weapon position placements because the canonical ones are nonsensical

Star Wars Invasion [A Multiverse Spaceship RP]

oh hey I just realized something. The main hangar bay on the Assault Carrier can actually tuck away the USS George Hammond in it! I can serve as a capital carrier!

Star Wars Invasion [A Multiverse Spaceship RP]

The bigger worry in my mind is if the Replicators start absorbing Halo tech from the... plentiful options that this carrier can provide. The Malevolence losing some droids to the Replicators isn't really a problem, since those things are -generally speaking- mass produced trash that won't give the Replicators much of anything they don't already, but Halo tech? That might be... an issue.

@Lewascan2

Oh yeah definitely, one of those Urpeon-pattern lances oneshots a UNSC Marathon-class heavy cruiser with complete ease, plus the Covies can do pinpoint accurate slipspace jumps, which Star Wars FTL cannot do, so a Covie slipspace drive can place that Assault Carrier anywhere to absolutely fucking body a target before they react, as such a short range jump doesn't incur a noticable time dilation penalty
