[Multiverse Spaceship RP] Stargate: Paradigm

I feel like it may be useful if we push on regardless. Surely we have enough experienced players to keep going and have some element of fun?

[Multiverse Spaceship RP] Stargate: Paradigm

I'm more interested in the Thirteenth Colony stuff.

[Multiverse Spaceship RP] Stargate: Paradigm

@Dnafein from how it was explained in TLJ they weren't actually tracking rather, it was extremely accurate predictions.

Also hyperspace trackers do exist, but it's rare tech as the Empire had it just in prototype phase and I guess it was too expensive as it never took off. Instead SW relies on the older style of tracker, that activates when a ship drops out of hyperspace.

Relics: Trials of Kheris

First Night of Gellor Rising

The drums resonated throughout the grand arena, the sound pounded at ones chest. The sound of the crowd, intoxicating. The jeering and leering as two unlucky souls fought one another down in the arena. A distraction for the masses, an outlet for their violent tendencies. A change in their dull lives from the standard routine of their jobs. A smile curled at the bottom of Kheris' lips. This would truly be a day to remember, for while now the two combatants were merely average slaves with no powers whatsoever. The main event was going to be one that truly shook the world, and changed it in the coming age. Too long had he sat idle and let his neighbours get away with their transgressions, their foray into his borders. Manipulation and deceipt, he'd start with Othea and carve his way through Azukhar until he took down the Dominion. Possibly his biggest threat, but they too would kneel before him. Then he'd cast his sights to the rest of this world, for beyond the great sea there had to be something, not just vastless ocean.

As the fight concluced Kheris rose, slowly and delicately. Not a single item of his jewelry moved, as if it dared not for fear of it's life. He was the master of his body, his environment and even his attire. He walked forwards towards the podium, arms at either side with his palms up towards the sky. As he got closer and closer to the balcony edge more and more fell silent. Until there were barely any murmurings within the crowd. This is what many of them had come here for today, to hear their lord speak to them. He was after all, their God. He focused on his voice, and the soundwaves that he would create from his speech. Pushing power into them from his relic he spoke, in a clear voice that could be heard throughout the Arena. It wasn't shouting, but his voice was clear as day for all in the arena to hear. "My people. It brings me great joy, to see you all here today." He lowered his arms slowly as he spoke, moving his right in a sweeping motion from one side of the arena to the other indicating he was truly speaking to everyone present.

"Today is a great day, for I, your Lord, wish for you to share a truly historic moment with me. For while I may be a God, you are my people and what would I be without each and every one of you." He smiled, and paused for a moment. There was some slight chatter in response to what he said. He didn't bother tuning into any of it, it was hardly relevant. Yes, there was some discontent towards him however it was so marginal it barely required his attention. The majority stood with him, and that was what is important. He raised his hands again, and the arena silenced once again. The faint beating of drums could be heard, as they hit their cue. Slowly at first, as he would go on to speak the drums would increase in volume and tempo. "For now, my people. I wish for you to relax, as we watch the demons that Mareth has provided for us fight one another, fight in order that they may regain their humanity and redeem themselves in the eyes of your Lord. For I am a forgiving, and merciful God-" He actually had no interest in any of the Gladiators ever becoming one of his chosen Demi-Gods. The relics didn't interest him for study, or for absorption and the people that weilded them proved too unpredictable.

Bar one. Kheris had kept him alive, but far from him for another reason entirerly and word on the wind was that there was another one out there. Vigilance would be required, that was for sure. He already had Krig scouring the shadows for the other. Clouds began to form over the arena, thunder rumbled in beat to the drums. Anyone outside the Arena would just see a single grey cloud forming over the Arena, and nowhere else. "-may the games begin!" A single bolt of lightning struck the centre of the arena before the cloud disapated. Doors all around the arena floor opened, releasing gladiators into the arena all at once as the drums cut out. Kheris merely nodded, turned and moved back towards his throne. Something pulled his attention.

He looked up to see a strange bird hovering above him. Kheris felt it looking directly at him, then it merely turned and began to fly towards the sea to the west.

@NanoFreakV2 If I'm honest I'd rather it if we dropped it somewhere else. There's still a lot of unresolved stuff going on at the battle side of things, even if the battle were over. In terms of "Okay so who are you guys really, why are we here?" Etc.

[Multiverse Spaceship RP] Stargate: Paradigm

@Anomaly758 AS someone who likes the Rebels, I know it's a myth.

[Multiverse Spaceship RP] Stargate: Paradigm

@Anomaly758 1) I think the point is Vader didn't wanna just orbitally bombard them. yes the shield could have held out but if they just bombared it no-one would have escaped. From my reasoning Vader wanted prisoners, which meant landing.

2) I didn't know that this was what this particular argument was. Both examples I wanted to find both show there are some superliminal sensors to see the world outside of hyperspace.

From what Janais mentor told him his sword is one of seven, and that the powers he has already mastered is but a fraction of it’s capability.

@Anomaly758

1) It happens quite often that SW ships detecting ships suddenly appearing out of hyperspace at the last second. In terms of on screen we just have small screen in TCW and Rebels.

2) I'm not sure what this topic is for, but SW ships don't travel through a completely other dimension like Stargate. They can still be affected by gravitational anomalies. Star wars ships can travel through hyperspace in unknown space but it is dangerous.

Example 1
Can't find an exact clip of the moment I want for clip 2, but the Ghost is trying to go to an unmapped region, ends up facing this

3) Again a common occurence, Thrawn uses this tactic often in EU and the NewCanon to plot potential destinations.

4) Interdictors in SW were typically used more for area denial. They were either placed along known hyperspace routes to force the likes of Rebel ships out of hyperspace, or used in combat situations to prevent ships from escaping From this formation we gather that the interdictors don't create that large of a field, as after one Interdictor is destroyed Ezra manages to jump away before coming back to destroy the second.

Oh, sorry double post. @Sep What do you mean by that? Am I reading this wrong or do you mean that the way they measure time is different or what? I am confused.

@Anomaly758

Sorry I actually got it wrong . In apparently every case of a hyperdrive known to the Hiigarans, Taiidani, and others, the drive is ended in a 'crude' manner by simply turning off power to the module when an estimated time has elapsed, and then the wave ends on its own I felt that time in hyperspace in Homeworld was different to that of real space. According to this, this isn't the case. It's been a while since I've researched it though.

[Multiverse Spaceship RP] Stargate: Paradigm

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.
