No Turning Back - Surving the Abyss

@13org you know it won't be a human waitress right?

@Lmpkio That's going to get incredibly complicated, that we're introducing multiverses within different universes :P

Besides, I imagine so long as it looks and sounds like Palpatine the order is still valid.

[Multiverse Spaceship RP] Stargate: Paradigm

@Lmpkio but Order 66 is grown into the clones, so it's not like changing Galaxy would turn that off :P

Palpatine is a... curious individual. He might always want to hang around and see what's going on.

Rebirth: At World's End

@CollectorOfMyst That'd be an interesting element for us to play actually, I think.

Rebirth: At World's End

I'm certainly interested.

On the other hand, the Colonials worship the Greek gods, who are just the Goa'uld. Does that mean they'd side with the Snakes against us? :O

@Flamelord

I think that's the beauty, when you think about it the Battlestar Mythos and Stargate Mythos mesh together very nicely. It'll be interesting to be sure.

[Multiverse Spaceship RP] Stargate: Paradigm

@Anomaly758 yes, but especially with this being set in the Stargate Universe, with Earth such a major place... I can't resist going a Battlestar. not that I could resist anyway.

@Anomaly758 did I tell you how cool it is that there's a Homeworld ship here?

---

For when there's room.

Name of Ship: Battlestar Columbia (First)
Home Universe: Battlestar Galactica (TRS)
Role: Flagship Carrier
Physical Size: 1,455m
Armament/Complement:

Weaponry

• Main Batteries: 40 two-gun heavy batteries; 8 1x2 dorsal, 8 1x2 ventral, 4 1x2 bow, 4 1x2 starboard & port bow (8 total both sides)
• Secondary Batteries: Fitted with 68 (34 port, 34 starboard) secondary batteries on her dorsal side to complement her main batteries.
• Point Defense Weapons: A battlestar is heavily dependent in combat on a Close-in weapon system (CIWS). CIWS is intended to provide a last ditch defense against enemy assets that are able to penetrate the multi-layered defense. It is intended to be the last line of defense should the battlestar's main weapons or deployed fighters fail to defeat an incoming threat.
  
  The primary function of these guns was an anti-fighter/anti-missile role, such as destroying incoming ordnance or Cylon Raiders. Battlestars carry hundreds of them. They also have a secondary role providing close tactical fire support to fighters.
• Heavy Missile Capability: The Columbia has ten silos for heavy missile weaponry, including heavy nuclear weapons. A single one capable of decimating a large populated area.

Complement

• Vipers: The Columbia carries a war complement of 120 MkII Vipers.
• Raptors: Carrying 40 Raptors these vessels act as gunsips, recon vessels or small transports.
• Shuttles: The Columbia carries two slightly larger shuttles, for ship/ship transport.

History of the Ship:

• Columbia was the Battlestar built in sponsorship of Virgon. Like the other twelve initial battlestars it was built with a low technological capability, with the Cylon threat looming over the Twelve Colonies about to turn into a full blown war.
• Columbia assisted in a number of operations, most notably it hung in defense above Caprica and Virgon.
• Deployed on several operations throughout the colonies during the war. Currently gearing up with the Galactica to partake in Operation Raptors Talon above Tauron.

@Burning Kitty That's due to their design. Goa'uld spaceship shields are designed to block everything coming at them, whereas personal shields you need to walk around unencumbered. Which is why things moving slowly, or fast blades with a fine point can pierce through. As the shields aren't as strong, you could also just orbitally bombard them.
