Star Wars - Rancor Company

interested, particularly as a Alliance intelligence or naval officer.

@Flagg

I meant to "Like" this but apparently I "Laughed" it.

I laugh Alliance Intelligence

Absolute Comics: A One Universe Roleplay

@Lord Wraith That idea is based on people applying for a character to hold onto forever and ever. So that they show they can handle it by being able to support themselves

Star Wars - Rancor Company

@Sep I was thinking either a gunship (for flexibility, so I can be useful in almost any situation) or a fighter. I figure a decent pilot could fly more than one type of starship, although definitely not to the same level as their 'main' ship.

@Superboy

Sounds fair enough.

Star Wars - Rancor Company

@Lauder I disagree with that statement on so many levels. So many fun races, so little time.

Star Wars - Rancor Company

@Lmpkio who doesn't love a big gun?

@Superboy You thinking bomber support, fighter or dropship?

Star Wars - Rancor Company

I may have to work on an OOC tomorrow ;)

TO keep ideas flowing, what's everyone thinking of working on?

No Turning Back - Into the Abyss

---

First of all, I hope you had a very good holiday (whichever you celebrated) and am hoping you for all the best in the New Year. Due to the holiday season, and before that scholary season, I have posted in order to keep the ball rolling to prevent stagnation. So the Away Team (You know who you are) are now in the active zone where you can start exploring and looking around. There are very few ground rules on what is in the area, feel free to invent (The only thing I am keeping under the control of the GMs are the spheres).

As this is our first away mission, where we have a lot of people working towards similar objectives we're going to try something. Each PC is going to be part of a Survey Team consisting of at least 3 (up to eight) members, plus two security personnel (humanoid or droid). These squads however will be manned largely by NPCs, don't feel the need to delve into backstory unless you feel like it. "Dave who specializes in biology" works fine for me. If you so wish to collab, you can go along with one other player character (I expect you to organize these duos by yourselves) which will allow for collabs but won't cause them to clog things up.

These groups can cross paths, though only for a short period of time. Though if someone leaves a group (I.E. If @Rawk and @Heat were a group, and Michael wandered off by himself @Rawk could go chill with @FuzzyBootz as @Subject Zero went running after @Heat) another player can fill the buddy slot. Any questions on this feel free to ask, I feel like I may have written it in an overcomplicated way but it's really simple.

People on the ship:

If you're bored, not sure what you want to do. Drop me a mention, I'll sort something out for you (Similarily to what I did for @The Spectre).

No Turning Back - Into the Abyss

GM Post. Feel free to post any collabs/W.I.Ps up to this point.

Eccleson stood aboard the command deck of the Beast as the behemoth tore through the underbrush of the forest. Doctor Anderson had assured her that the trees weren't actually trees, and some form of complex structure that had been built by some sort of creature. At least that was the current theory, but they had taken samples to be evaluated at a later date anyway back on the Ark. What everyone was more excited about was the EM Zone. As soon as the report had come back Eccleson and TreVayne had contacted the Vitae and set immediate course with all haste, while it was true there was more to do in the initial landing site the EM zone was far more interesting.

Hawkins and Atkov had reported in the ruins of a settlement. Buildings as tall as the trees reaching up into the sky, derelict for Gods know how long. As Eccleson thought about it her hand strayed towards an old cross that hung around her neck, before the Devastators had attacked Religion was a dying thing. Understandably with the trials that humanity had faced several people turned back to it for some semblance of comfort, she herself wasn't extensively religious in that she merely wore it as a reminder of her mothers who had met at a religious gathering. Could there be some divine hand in all of this? The first planet they came across having remnants of an alien civilisation? She had seen the footage, while it wasn't like any human city she had ever seen it was hard to not notice the obvious structure as pathways connected the buildings that reached higher and higher as they approached the centre of the EM zone. She looked up through the viewport as they broke through the denser vegetation into the 'outskirts' of the city.

It was incredible, until they passed the barrier of green there wasn't any sign of any structures other than the threes. Then suddenly they were everywhere, derelict husks of a time long past. She was sure that someone on the team would be able to tell her how long they had been there though she didn't really care. She just had to remain on the top of her game, and not ensure that she wasn't distracted by what was on front of her. "Tell Smith to set up his squadron in a patrol, I'll send the grid to him momentarily. Have Hawkins take her wingman deeper into the EM zone, tell her to keep an eye out for any structure that stands out more than the others-" She leaned down so that she could look above the beast as it slowed, up at one of the orbs that hung suspended by what looked like cables. "-Also get her to keep a rough track of how many orbs she sees. If we can get a number on how many they are, and how often they appear we may be able to figure out what they are."

As the vehicle came to a halt, she couldn't help but to keep looking up at the Orb. It was incredible, a perfect sphere with intricate carvings all over it. Well, it would be perfect but like many of the ones she had already seen it appeared damaged in some way, most of them big or small were in some way or another. The most curious thing about them was how the lines holding them up appeared to break into, and through, buildings before latching onto something. Which made her think they weren't native, or at least not initially meant to be there. She couldn't even begin to take a guess as to what had happened but then again it wasn't her job too. "Deploy all squads, fan out in standard formation until they are fifty metres away from the command vehicle. Once there they should begin to circle until ordered to move out further, also have them prevent any scientists from straying out too far by themselves."

She heard the affirmative from the comms officer, and the affirmatives through his headset as he relayed the order. "Lower the ramp and let the scientists go, TreVayne has people in their teams to keep them safe. They all know their objectives. Let's see what this planet has to offer.

The Office of Ambassador Ford.
^{@The Spectre}

Jeffery Hux placed several files before the Ambassador, though he kenw enough about the man and the state of affairs on the ship that he may not hold that title for long. Maybe even aiming for something more auspicious, such as President/Prime Minister/Leader or whatever title he and the Admiral concoted. He himself was surprised that a career military Martian man had went for someone of non-martian descent, and someone who as far as he knew had no ties to the military whatsoever. Then again he hadn't spent enough time with the Admiral to get a good read on the man, and only had what he had heard either through word of mouth or the ships PA system to go on.

"As you may well know, during the founding days of the United Earth Council the idea of a constitution was placed before them by the Roslin Federation. The Conglomerate was willing to work with it with some minor adjustments, Armani were wholly against the idea and the Martians felt that it ceded too much political control out of their sphere of influence. If you're looking at forming some form of legal and judical system for the Vitae then I wish you luck. I pushed with the board in charge of the Project to come to some consensus but the four parties never agreed, so there's no real clear sense of law aboard the ship. Are we under Martian, Federation, Conglomerate or Armani Law?" The older man shrugged his shoulders. "Anyway, those are the files you requested. Is there anything else you need?"

@Lord Wraith I think that posts should remain camon though, as retconning all the time makes a mess. Maybe also a mandatory arc completion before collaboration?
