The Relics (No Plot/Fantasy/Character Driven/Worthy of Skepticism)

Myth, who had simply gone with Tyrell until he let him up, dusted himself off and took a few steps, a short pace. Then, he spun around, snapped his fingers, and said,
"Blademasters' Compact History of the World, Volume Six, states that one of the older prominent nations that favor Relic users rather than killing them or persecuting them. A northern country, desert, with some kind of religion revolving around living leaders, that have been the same for hundreds of years. Those guys have to use Relics, and their culture practically worships Relic-users. We can go there, I think. I don't think Kalesia will turn their eyes upwards, althugh if Othea had more allies, they should've. Expanded directly inland could be a fatal mistake for the Kalesians, since there are nations on both sides of the bridge across the continent that they seem to be working on."

Then, he spun around, facing Tyrell. "Would you like to go to this desert-y place? Wine and fruit, I heard, are quite exquisite. And, it is convienent to travel to, since we are already a bit more North than expected. Shall we go to the desertlands, or what?"

With that, he raised an eyebrow and awaited a response.

I promise i'll make better posts; I just needed a starting point to go off of. I wonder how Atras C will do when others start showing up just because.Anyone else have colonial interests in Atras C? Its a pretty planet I can assure.

The Valkians would be interested, if they could see.

What low tier nations?

In terms of firepower and fleet strength, the Valkians are very low tier.

That was two years ago when I was still new to RPing. Not fair to bring that up.

In the past versions of this and others we found that if we dont restrict ship count then it balloons out of control. Into trillions.But in the future will be higher.

The original was rising into the millions, and that was just the overly-military Draconians, and shortly after, one of duck's nations, Equestrians or something. Winged people, me thinks. Where did trillions come from? That's over a hundred times more than the one-time achievement by the industrial militarized Draconians. Anyone who had those fleet numbers would be so massive that the original Dracs would seem tiny and weak.

Hey everyone let's just get along.This us a friendly roleplaying God Damn it!

That wasn't me angry, that was me being friendly/sarcastic. My humor includes sarcasm very often. I'm not being mean or disrespectful by it, for future reference.

Just a quick thing for anybody who isnt aware, keep your ship counts low. Max anyone should have about now is 1200, and thats stretching it.

I don't even have more than a hundred ships, so I think I'm okay.

A biased statement if I ever saw one

You betcha!
But it's really the only player-versus-player combat so far, besides civilians screaming as peacekeepers do stuff and that kind of thing. There are battles, but this one is entirely player-versus-player.

But you, my not-friend, are right!

The Age of Steam

I'm still kicking.

I think the battle between Darkwolf and myself are the most exciting things so far.

Battle of First Contact, Planet N-1, orbit & planetside

The Explorer, shown above, continued forward, the inaccurately fired railgun shot scoring a glancing blow to the front of the ship, scarring and denting the armor, but otherwise was unharmed. The round itself had partially disintegrated on its impact, and bits and pieces spun away from the scarred section of the Explorer. In response, as the two enemy ships came out of sublight, the ship fired with its two particle cannons, attempting to slice another ship in half, this time spacing the cannons firing so that a beam was constantly being fired, switching back and forth instead of at the same time. Missile launchers again extended out from the armor, and fired two salvos of missiles, half the size as the first salvo against the first ship, against the two attacking ships. At the same time, plasma began to hit the ship, splashing against the armor and bubbling into it before losing energy. The ships' armor was decreasing, but it could hold, and the captain on board would most certainly destroy or be destroyed.

In the case of the rising transport ship, who now had a panicked load of passengers and a worried, fearful captain, the ship lost its engines and was grabbed by tentacles. However, a Hunter was on board, as with all the transports, due to a need of someone that will adapt to situations and will take control in emergency. In this case, the Hunter rushed to the pilot's cabin, and set the engine to overload. While overload wasn't bad on its own, only causing minor damage over time, it's very bad if there isn't anywhere to go, or if the power generated isn't released. The transport, clung to by tentacle things, as was felt by the Hunter, slowly became hotter and hotter, until the reactor and its batteries simply ran out of space, and broke. When it broke, the transport exploded. The Hunter could see what was above him, what was waiting, and he didn't want to meet it.

On the ground, the spores were already infecting people. Some had made their own bunkers, sealed and locked, and were there now, but others were out in the streets, or in buildings that weren't able to use airlocks. The next transport ship that rose only made it above the tallest building, before wobbling and losing altitude faster than it gained. The ship fell, turning into a nosedive before scraping against a building, showering the ship and the ground below with steel, titanium, and Valkian concrete. No glass would fall; there was no need for it in their sightless world. As the ship fell and the dome closed, either everyone was infected, or they were belowground in emergency tunnels, sealed inside, and not to be dug out. Hunters patrolled the endless, pitch-black halls and rooms below, refugees weeping with unseeing eyes for the first time in thousands of years.

As such events were going on, ten minutes still remained before two more Explorers arrived, unless they were to in-system transport, which for the Valkian technology is similar to going sublight through a debris field. Transporting or teleporting only worked on the edge of the system, to another system edge. The remaining cargoship was fleeing from its post above the city, picking up other transports from other cities along the way, evacuating what it could before the other ships gained on it.

Now labelled 'Derelict 6,' with the first destroyed being Derelict 1, the second ship that released the original spores and the pterodactyls being labelled Derelict 2, the ship that grabbed the transport being Derelict 3, and the ships currently engaged with the Explorer being Derelict 4 and 5, the hostile ship approached the half-dozen floating containers. As the ship obviously meant to grab whatever it was, all six containers exploded with the force of more than a dozen salvos of ship-to-ship Swarm missiles per container, first one ship erupting into a fireball, setting off the closest one, which in turn set off the other four, resulting in a massive fireball, completely consuming the containers and the two Hunters that had stayed in one to detonate the explosives, in hope of evening the odds in favor of the Explorer.

Planet C-1, Homeworld of Valkians, Council meeting
Watching the holographic recordings of what had gone on prior to the two cargoships' withdrawal, all of the decision makers of the planet were suitably impressed with how the captains of the cargoships handled their part, and with the combat capabilities of a Hunter captain and her ship.
