Age Of Chaos IV

[exatreide]

The Titan Has Awoken

AOC is back!

Back again! Guess whos back? Back again?

This newest one brings new rules, New Plots, And More Action!!

It focusses around Four Main factions

The United Earth

The United Earth Was formed in 3010 after the first Galactic War. Earth Was decimated in the war, the Northern Hemosphere uninhabital due to the massive amounts of nucular weapons and bilogical weapons.

Its main Goals were to Teraform the northern hemosphere and make it habital to humans. Its second was to regain Earth Superiority in the Sol System by any means neccisary.

By the year 3030, the northern Hemosphere was still uninhabital, But Earth had regained control through diplomatic and in some cases military skirmishs, control of Venus, Earths Moon, Mercury, and 2/3s of Mars.

Earth has also been atempting to rebuild its space fleet in ship yards above Venus.

The Spacers

The War decimated the Spacers, Losing nearly 18 billion people in the Earth Strikes on their Astroid Colonies. another 10 billion died elsewhare. Slowly regrouping and regaining their power, The spacers are intent on wiping out the Old Way of Earth in Any means neccisary. But by the year 3030, they are still behind earth in terms of rebuilding. Their space fleet is larger then Earths, but not for long, Their econemy has grown weak and frail and needs re construction despretly. They can not fight a war at the start, or they will be most likely destroyed.

The Settlers.

In the year 2525 In the Imperiastic space age of earth

1.5 Million people left the sytem in massive coloney ships. These Ships would take two hundred years to reach their destination.

The ships arived on the planet of Julius and soon discoverd massive alien ruins bristling with technolegy. useing this technolegy they soon established a bristling space empire. Their econemy was strong. Their military was small yet highly advanced.

In the year 3030 A other human faction atacked one of the boarder worlds and decimated it.

Soon a massive war raged between the Settlers and the other humans.

Note:The Settlers have no contact with Earth,Or the spacers.

Other Humans.

Nothing is none of this faction, only their ruthlessness in battle and their willing to sacrifise their own forces in battel. They out number the settlers 5 to 1, but their tech is several generations old, leveling the playing field

SETI

While tensions continue to mount between the Spacers and the UE.

SETI still searching for exterestrial life finaly stumbels apon a signel that they belive to be geniuen, now useing the greatest minds in the solar system, they atepmt to decode it and proove the exestience of aliens to the spacers and the UE. And stop the looming hostilities.

Aliens.

While the war Raged between The "OTher" Humans and the settlers a large Settler world was slaughterd by alien atack, No one knows who they are, or what they come for. Only that they glassed the planet and killed millions of Settlers.

Note: Settlers, Other Humans have Advanced Ion Drive engines which alow them to rapidly cover the distence between starts. The UE and the Spacers do not have these, As for the Aliens...No one knows

You can play any of these factions Or create your own, but plese note that if you create your own it has to have atleast a two paragraph description of it.

The Purpose of it is to lead your Faction to domination of the galaxy

Now I know this is your Favorite part...

RULES

No Super Fleets of 10,000 ships

Travel Takes time.

Research takes atleast 5 posts.

No God modding

Thats all I can think of now...

But more later most likely

Good Luck, Have fun, And may your faction surive!

[GhostHunter]

Xenital

Before the war raged out on earth and in space a group of 250,000 civilians were sent to colonize a planet and make a city. Then it all happened, the conflicy began and everyone soon forgot about the 250,000 they sent a long time ago.

The Xenital forces tried contacting their home planet but got no response, they presumed the worst and began building their planet up. There were many peaceful goverment chanegs through time and now the two planets are led by a totalitarion form of goverment. The peace concept changed when a small convoy of peaceful trade ships was brutaly assualted by The Spacers. Thinking it was some other humans ships the Spacers continued on home, a Xenital ship followed and marked their home planets location. Now for many centuries the Xenital have been building up and reproducing for a new form of military. They are still led on by the hate and revenge they desire for.

And Ex can you verify how long travel between locations is?

[exatreide]

Faction:Covenant(So sue me i ripped it off halo didnt want to do KYA or shadows again)

Race:A colition of 6 races

The Covenant itself is a empire spanning atleast 9 Systems, Its tecnolegy salvaged from an ancient race.

Convient Society revolvs around a caste of leaders called the Prohets, These people command the bulck of the Covenant military and society.

The Convient six races are as fallowed

The Engineers are small creatures who float above the ground, only go into a area after it has been secured. Physicaly weak and incapbul of holding a weapon. They examine things in telekinetic bursts to tear apart things. They have a great ability to analize tec and adapt it to the convient but lack the abilty to think it up.

The Grunts.

Are Small 3 foot tall creatures with heads in the shape of dogs. They breath a liqued Methane mix and are the foot soldiers of the Convenant empire. They are physicaly weak, and most of them are cowards fleeing at the sight of a superior enemy. In numbers they are difficult to tackel.

Jackels.

These breath a Oxygen nitrogen atmosphere like the rest of the Covenant. Frail and weak, they hide behind energy sheilds in battle, only to poke their heads out, shoot and duck behind again.

Elites

These are the field commanders and tactiions. Standing 7 feet tall they are a fear some thing to fight. Their energy sheilds can withstand a nice barage from projectile or energy weapons, and their armor can take a few more. Field commanders and often brilient tactitions.

Hunters

Not much is none of the Hunters, They act as the tanks, and heavy shock troopers of the Covenant.

They stand 6 feet tall while crouched and 9 while at full height, Their right hand is atached to a fuel rod, which can fire a heavy plasma rod.

Their right arm is coverd with a incredibly heavy and dense metaltic sheild capabul of taking a incredible beating. Their armor is heavy but has many weak spots over the body, over a small patch in the back, and in the chest. Travel in pairs, known as bond brothers.

Ships. The conveint control 5 main fleets. Each filled with around 20 large ships, and numerous serpha class fighters. Each vessel is sheiled and main armanets include plasma launches.

hehe

[The_Sadukar]

Race: Argonian clans (you know those lizardmen from TES III: Morrowind)

Leader: High duke Sol'Azret age 56

Area: the resesses of space

Technology leve: star wars (you konw what i mean)

Political goal: to trad and prosper

Other info: the argonians live in 3 great worldcrafts, floating around on the egde of the Settler empire, each worldcraft ruled by a great house (The Sol, the Moon and the Nam), each house is then ruled by a duke, the dukes then elect a high duke, who is the ruler of all Argonian. The Argonians make it by trading with those faction willing to trade with them, and are as such only losely organized. but in time of need they can gather great fleets, and fight to the death for their dukes.

[Anathema]

I'll join, and regularily post. But not right now.

[Mihail]

Faction:Bene Kelik

Race:Aliens

Area:3 Solar Systems,and Ivana Nebula

Leader:None

The Bene Kelik are like The Bene Tleilaxu from Dune, but their intentions are totally different(what I mean by that is,they worship macines,not bash them).

The Bene Kelik are a race of technologically advanced aliens.

They span 3 solar systems with their almost always half-mechanical half-biological bodies.

Many have been converted to cyborgs, alien brains encased in robotic bodies(Like Ex said,sue me,I ripped off cymeks).

Although they are actually biological creatures where everything they make lives, they have amputated themselves and made their bodies be able to stand upright,with metal bodies as support.

They have a aprrox. 3 fleets,with each one numbering approx. 500 ships.

Kinds of Kelik shall be listed on the next post.

[Mihail]

Slave:These are slaves kept by the pouplation of the Bene Telik.

The only way on how they are modified is by being amputated to be able to stand upright, with barely and mechanical support.

Warrior:These are the most common attack force of the Kelik.They have shields,are armed with plasma rifles and small grenades, they are not much of a harm alone, but in numbers, can take out whole armies.

Elite:(Yep, I'm ripping this off Halo)

Elites are the tacticians and generals of the battle field.

Elites come in 6 different colors, which also signify their rank.

They do not wear shields, as they believe it is a show of cowardice.

Are armed with plamsa swords,as they practice their own code of bushido.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Blue Elite:The lowest Elite.Usually a commander out in the field.

Red Elite:Is the Elite in command of the Blue Elites out on the battlefield.

Silver Elite:This is the commander in charge of the whole battle.

He can change what the Red and Blue Elites order.

Black Elite:A low ranking general.Usually seen in very large battles.

Purple Elite:The second highest Elite.Is usually seen on large sclae planet takeovers.

Gold Elite:One of the rarest rarest elite.There are only 3, with 1 for each fleet.They are usually only seen in solar system takeovers.Practically impossible to kill.

Clear-Plaz Elite:The Highest elite.He has the ability to make any changes he sees unfit, and is seen barely at all.There is only 1 in existence.No way to kill him has been found, though it is suspected that he has a weakness in his left hand, which was shot many years ago.

List of units will continue on next post.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

[ordos45]

Faction: Treesinka

Race: Toridasi

Leaders: A Council of Nine.

Area: Two Star Systems including three inhabitable planets, five terroformed to inhabitable planets, 3 gas giants, 3 asteroid belts, and three stars (one system is binary).

Treesinkans have chameleon like skin. They blend in easily to their surroundings, as do their starships, but if one has a good eye, or good sensors, they can be detected.

They have four legs, a scorpion tail, four arms, and a head with five eyes, a mouth, a nose, and two ears. They can run extremely fast, and strike with their tails even faster, but lack the upper body strength to lift heavy objects with their arms.

They have one fleet per system currently. Each has One Command Carrier (carries 50 Snortle Fighter/bombers), 3 Frigates, 5 Missile Frigates, 12 transports, 2 destroyers, and 36 picket vessels.

One holy relic to the Toridasi/Treesinkans is the Dark Crystals. These are grown in the stomachs of massive living beings in the seas of one of Treesinka's planets. These crystals can conduct tremendous energy and act as a beam weapon magnifier up to 1000% depending on the purity, though only one that pure is currently possessed. These crystals also serve as anchors of dimensional forces to the Treesinkans, they can manipulate space on a small scale with them...with enough dark crystals an entire section of space could possibly be...destroyed, but it's unlikely.

[Mihail]

Eagle:A frail body protected by a shield. Is armed with a plasma rifle.

Goliath:A biological tank. Is like a giant slug, but with armor covering. It is practically a tank. but, as all slugs are, this one is hurt by salt(?!?!?!?!?)Stupid, I know, but the best I can think of.Oh, and it is armed with a large plasma cannon that temporarily weakens it.

[exatreide]

Tuval Looked at the newest report and threw it onto the ground.

The prohets would be angerd that this newest report. The expaditionary forces had glassed a infadel world after it had destroyed a crusier. Such action would be punished. Even if they are infadels had commited such a crime.

Other fleets dected another Human colection in 6 other spots, and another race. No speicmans had been colected, only a few scans of vessels and planets. The other fleet comanders new better then to rush into a battle.

His messenge unit chimed.

He anwsered it imeditly.

The prophets voice was like that of a ghost. Fadding in and out.

"You Have heard the news?" Commander?

"Yes, It is disturbing."

"You Will order your Subortinites to collect sampels from each faction. You will board a vessel of each faction to test their forces abilty to fight on land. You will engange in small skirkmishs to test their ships abitlies. If you fail to do this, Protocall 319 will be in effect. Do you understand?"

"Yes, of course."

The Messenger unit died and Tuval sent the word. Knowing that it would most likely bring war.

[Mihail]

Vahlak stood on a balcony on the mechanical world of Rurana.

Vahlak was a Golden Elite, second in rank to only the Clear-Plaz Elite.

He sensed war coming.

{Sarrukk!}

Vahlak hissed in the Bene Kelik language.

A Purple Elite came rushing up to him.

{Yess?}

{Go and spy on the other pitiful factions.There is a war brewing.}

He held and looked up at his black glove, which was made of flexible clear-plaz that could break bones.

{Yes, M'Lord.}

Vahlak heard footsteps, and then something being drawn.

A plasma sword

He reacted instantly, drawing out his plasma sword and cutting Sarrukk in half. The insides were writhing.

He called up a slave crew and made them clean up the mess.

The he wired a message to Gallanra, the clear-plaz elite.

[start Transmission]M'Lord, we require a new Purple Elite. Vahlak.[End Transmission]

[Mihail]

The next day, proper militairy services were held for Sarrukk, even though he did commit treason.

6 Goliaths lined up and shot plasma beams into the sky.

6 Purple Elites saluted,600 Warriors srayed the air with plasma,3 Golden Elites were standing saluting, and the Clear-Plaz Elite was rigid with attention,his hand totally straight,touching the exact center of his temple, while the former Purple Elite was lowered into the underworld of machinery.

[thomas]

[exatreide]

I dont enjoy the fact that you ripped my faction off ak.

Not at all.

I have the elites, I posted them first. Or atleast call them something differnt. I already ripped off halo, take something else damnit. That really pisses me off.

Plasma Missels streated from Destroyer Of worlds. The covenant Destroyer sent to the Settler worlds to confiscate a Human vessel.

The Human vessel turned and streaked in a vain effort to throw the missels off track. two missels slammed into the rear of the vessel, and vaperized it. The human vessel twirled in space Dead.

Maso Led the dropships himself. 4 dropships 15 troops each.

6 grunts, 4 jackels, 4 elites, and one Hunter.

The Coveant dropships latched onto the Human vessel and begain burning through.

Such a primitve race. Maso thought to himself. He brought his plasma rifle to bear as he watched the line of fire finishe the circle. The metel fell in.

No one.

No one was on board. He watched as the other Covenant dropships boarderd.

The troops looked at each other curiously. a large metalic door stood infront of them. Two hunters aproched it, and slamming their heavy shields against, nocked it down.

Two explosions sounded, and two hunters fell dead. Victium to rocket fire.

Mosal led the charge himself, 10 grunts behind him. 15 humans, pink and fleshy stood infront of them, firing their weapons,

two grunts died beside him, his shield took several shots but held. He fired his weapon and killed 7 of them. More grunts died beside him, chirping and winning in pain as they fell.

only 4 humans were left, still 3/4 of the covenant of the troops were out side of the door.

Pitiful resitence.

One of the humans slammed a button and a door slammed shut behind him, a much thicker door,

must be a blast door he thought to himself.

Several pff, pff,pff noises filled the air. This confused him for a moment. What were those noises?

Suddenly the relization hit him, The pff was the cabin depreserisng. The infadels had performed a brillent move.

The last human slammed another button. and cursed something in its foul tounge.

And Fire Engulfed Mosals world.

The human hit the self destruct.....

[Anathema]

The Anarotross

An alien race habiting the solar system in a a vast (for humans unchartered) nebula not very far from the Sol system. Though alien, their bodies vaguely resemble human shape. Over the past decades the Anarotross have captured straying human trade vessels and examined the fysiology of these creatures who are so strangely similar to them. The Anarotross have no such similarity with the animal species of their home planet Anaros, wich suggest that the Anarotross and humans have a common ancestry and that the Anarotross migrated to Anaros, or taken there by some alien entity, but such thoughts are dismissed by the Anarotross as heresy, as the Anarotross are deeply religious.

Anarotross society is divided in three classes. The Vinitri class has all religious and secular authority, making them the ruling class. The Koratross are basicly the militairy and police force of the state. Finally, the Trasich are the civilians, the working class but also scientists. Opposing the state is equal to opposing the Anaratross religion, wich worships the (supposed) creator Anara, and considered heresy and punishable by death. Allthough this may seem opressive and horrorible, most Trasich accept the authority of the Vinitri and do their work dilligently and without protest.

The Anaratross populate Anaris, it's 3 moons and 2 colony worlds, of wich one in an adjecent solar system. Because of the limited population the Anaratross only have a small fleet of 40 command cruisers, 250 destroyers and 70 carriers (each carrying a swarm of 80 fighters). There is one other class of ship, the Maker, wich is basicly a huge gun with engines, designed to destroy fortifications swiftly and possibly to "depopulate" planets. No more then 14 of these dreaded weapons exist. Though small, the fleet is well equiped with state of the art weaponry.

Another matter deserves attention: there is a natural phenomenon wich the Anatross call the "stream node" near the Anaris system. After centuries of research the Anarotross have achieved a limited understanding of this complicated phenomenon, enough to be able to manipulate it to create a "stream", esentially a short cut through spatial dimensions. This compensates for the small size of the fleet, as ships can make quick strikes and return in case of emergency. Strategists however fear, that if the enemy should discover the intricaties of "stream riding" that they could create streams themselves to the Anaris system. However, the Anarotross scientists never managed to create an artificial stream node themselves, and they don't expect that unexperienced aliens would be able to do just that.

(Ex, if the stream thing is overboard, just say so)

[Anathema]

A stream gate opened in space near the outskirts of Covenant space, and a tiny vessel appeared. Directly afterwards, the stream gate, a vortex shining with the whole spectrum of light, closed. The small vesel was charged with the duty of scouting the vicinity of the stream gate and search for any sign of alien activity. Earlier this year other reconaissance vessels had picked up fuel traces in that sector, and the Vinitri assembly demanded to know more.

The pilot of the ship, his name is unimportant, wasn't allowed to communicate with his superiors to avoid detection, and because of that the communications array on the ship had been removed. Another stream gate would open in 5 hours and if he would not be there in time, he would be stuck in this part of space for eternity.

So it happened, that after 4 and a half hours he came across a covenant ship- but he was spotted, despite all measures to make the scout ship undetectable. He decided to make a run for it and attempt to reach the stream gate, hoping that the alien would not dare to follow him. He turned around and engaged his engines.

[ExSPlug]

The Orphans

In the year 2525 a massive colonization fleet had left the Earth. During the journey, a disaster happened and a part of the fleet just "disappeared" from the rest.

The ones caught in the diaster soon found themselves being warped to an uncharted part of the universe. They had lost contact with the colonization fleet and their home planet, Earth.

Knowing that they have no hope to return home, the colonist traveled to a gas giant nearby, and created a colony cluster from the resources from the gas giant and it's asteroid belt. The colony expeneded and they soon scout further for more resources.

It was until one day they come across an abandoned alien vessel, and got hold of a map of their location, and planet Earth. The colonist named themselves the Orphans, and started a project to return to mother Earth...

Military:

Currently the Orphans owns 2 fleets. One guarding the colony, and another heading for Earth. Each consist of:

20 carriers, houses 500 fighters each

20 missle frigate

10 destoryers

10 dropships(for the Earth heading fleet only)

[The_Sadukar]

is there somebody who play the settler as yet?

[Mihail]

You're right,Ex.

I had writers block.

Anyway,I'll rename them to Eagles.

And I'll rename the Eagles(The original Eagles)

To Masakaries.(Yep,Now I'm ripping off MechCommander Gold)

And I'll change them,too.

Masakaries:Small,short,usually kamikaze units.

And the plasma will be changed to lasers and photons.

But I keep the Elite(Now Eagle)colors,as I posted those first!

[ordos45]

Toralas touched the dark crystal uneasily, feeling it shift beneath his touch. At times he wondered if these crystals were alive, despite the scientists saying they were not.

He watched, in awe, from the deck of the sea-going vessel as reality warped around the massive creature. Then in the blink of an eye, four dark crystals fell upon the deck and the creature fell back into the oceans.

Yes, these weren't very large crystals, but they could be fitted upon the new ship design in progress.

---

Research:

Time Done: In 5 turns

Name: Dark Star Class Cruisers.

Description: Three kilometers in length, this fast attack cruiser has the latest advanced ion drives. It has a crew of twenty, self healing metals that make sure--given a lot of time, that it will repair damage to itself. It has fourteen spatial laser cannons, each modified with a dark crystal to make its power fifty percent greater per shot. It has one main cannon, also fitted with a dark crystal, making its shot capable of levelling ten kilometers in diameter with one blast. It is also said to employ the latest in stealth technologies, and is armed with primitive nuclear missiles and mines, as well as five shock torpedo launchers.

Among the greatest innovations is the shock torpedoes themselves. Once only Command Carriers were allowed to carry these weapons, due to the expense at the time to produce them. When a shock torpedo explodes, it releases a wave of energy that washes around a target instead of staying concentrated in one area. This is great in countering pinpoint shielding, as it covers more area than a pinpoint shield can stop.

Classification: Fast Attack Cruiser/Escort Vessel

Passenger Capacity: 400 Treesinkan Marines.

Research currently being done in: Homeworld Lunar Shipyards.

[exatreide]

The Settler ship was primitive at best. Its crew managed to kill many of the Covenant troops. But it fell with ease.

Tuval smiled as the Assault fleet begain its voyage towards the creatures space. Satilites had determined that they were quite dangerous and must be delt with.

Georing was a competent General. And with 3 carriers, 9 Battle Vessels 15 destroyers,16 crusiers and dozens of small atack vessels.

Its Target...

Was Treesinka.

[Mihail]

The small group of Other Human vessels was no match to the highly advanced Kelik vessels.

10 Goliaths put their laser cannons into the fire ports, taking aim through a small camera that wired its images caught straight into the brain of the Goliaths.

They fired.

10 shots hit 10 vessels, digging deep into the armor, but not penetrating it.

The Dropships drifted through space, AA guns shot at them, blowing some up.

Small attack craft greeted the Dropships with a flurry of bullets.

They were so damn inneficient, but did destroy some Dropships.

A few Warriors were dispatched out to space(As each one had a ten minute oxygen supply)to intercept the attacking craft. 3 Warriors could take 1 craft. Of course, the attack crafts could attack too, and they had superior bullets, so many Warriors were mowed down before the attacking craft were destroyed.

Later, a few Dropships latched on to 1 of the convoy's ships...

The Goliaths withdrew, weakened by the blast and recharging.

Now it was time for Phase II of the operation.

Several Kelik Dropships launched off and attempted to land and burrow into the vessesls...

[ordos45]

The Council stood motionless, all 9 staring into a globe of images. Images of history, because Treesinka, it lived by the motto of those who don't learn history, are doomed to repeat it.

There was a time in the history of the Toridasi Race, whose homeworld was Treesinka, when terrorism was rampant, because of Fundamentalists who called those who opposed them infidels. One by one they nodded consent, the purge of the Terrorist Cult would begin.

(OOC: No one is playing the preset races :P)

The Earth returning fleet had finally reached Pluto.

"Here we're...finally!" announced Admiral Luster to the fleet.

Joy poured and filled the crews. Now soon they would reach Earth.

"Admiral, we've intercepted a distress signal!"

*Other humans fleet...interceped...aliens...unknown...*

"Head towards the scene! All men to battle station!"

(OOC: AK47 001 would you mind the aliens to be your fleet?)
