Spoiler: HZ-322 Meuds (click to show/hide)

A peculiar planet on the outskirts of Andromeda Galaxy. HZ-322 Meuds is a rare rogue planet - a planet that does not orbit any sun or similar stellar object. Despite that fact, it has stable temperature ratings and is composed mostly of liquid water, and single-cellular life has been observed in the deeper parts of the planet.

Distance
30 parsecs (326 light-years)
// You wanted no star, there you have it. Except that there are no other planets as well.

Spoiler: ROAN-44 (click to show/hide)

ROAR-44 is a rare case of a planetary system not orbiting around a star - a massive gas giant has taken its place instead. Two small rock planets orbit the giant, one of which is utilized as a military outpost by a local C.O.R.E. The planets themselves are both very hot and show signs of volcanic activity. The system is encircled by two asteroid belts, one in the middle and the other on the outer brim.

Stars
None.
ROAN-44 functions like a star (gas giant)

Planets
ROAN-44 b (the inner planet; colonized)
ROAN-44 c (the outer planet)

Sapient activity
None outside ROAN-44 b, medium-high on the planet itself.

Distance

Initiate Jump to Any Star System

// In other words, +1 to everything?

// In other words, +1 to everything?

More "+1 to whatever has the highest vote count at the time of the voting," but either way.

So right now it's +2 for Semicour. (and technically 0 to anything else)

[LordSlowpoke]

No jumps allowed. Fire up the regular engines and fly to ROAN-44.

//we will need an emergency ftl jump sooner or later and i just know it'll break down when we arrive

//we will need an emergency ftl jump sooner or later and i just know it'll break down when we arrive

// Not to be picky or anything, but by the time we would get there the normal way the C.O.R.E. Wars (as an event, not as a game) would be probably over...But if you choose to be so and people, then so be it.

// EDIT: It's +3 for Semicour right now, which qualifies it as a valid choice. I'm giving you guys 10 more minutes to eventually change your mind. (since 4 out of 6 people have decided at the moment, and I doubt that anyone new would join)

/ Initiating FTL drive...
/ Initiating FTL jump to TH 965-966 Semicour. Estimated travel time - 25 shortcycles. // 25 minutes.

/ Loading trivia program...
/ Success!

"The name of TH 965-966 Semicour comes from a portmanteau of Semigalia and Courland - two historical regions of a former country on Earth, Latvia.

The previous time system consisting of seconds, minutes, hours, days, months and years has been replaced with the system of pulsecycles, shortcycles, cycles, turns, longturns and starturns.  However, light-years are still called light-years, but certain C.O.R.E.s have adapted them to the new system and name them starcycles instead."

/? While the ship is jumping, what do you do?

UNIT/WHATEVER OVERVIEW (TURN #1)

Spoiler: C.O.R.E. (click to show/hide)

Acronym for Combat Operational Regiment Executive - those autonomous humanoid robots are possibly the most powerful machines ever built in terms of computing power, achieved by combination of multiple intelligence cores, which allows the C.O.R.E. to only perform the most complex and difficult tasks, but also let it think twice, thrice or even more before making any move. C.O.R.E.s were originally made by humans, but they have displaced their former creators, with the only trace of humanity being the genetic code that some C.O.R.E.s use to create biological soldiers.
C.O.R.E.s comes with a few basic integrated systems that allow them to construct, craft and fight, but are generally helpless without machinery they can and will create on their own. Leg-installed motion accumulators allow them to survive even without a direct power source, but on its own they won't allow for much activity. They also come with a remote control beacon that lets them take direct control of their creations, as well as a jetpack to easily traverse difficult terrain.

Spoiler: F.I.S.T. (click to show/hide)

"Acronym for First Initiative Support Transporter, this space vessel is primarily used by C.O.R.E.s to land onto planets and other celestial bodies and starting immediate colonization. Small and maneuverable, many variants of this spaceship exist and are a widely used design.
Since F.I.S.T. is not intended to be a combat vessel, it does not come with any weapon systems installed on-board. However, it has powerful engines and thick adamantium hull which make it a very durable ship, and the shield system furthermore strengthens it and ensures the safety of transported cargo and crew. It does not however have life support, and is not suitable for transportation of organic crew.

Consider the viability of energy shield generaters and the manufacturing capabilities of our current ship.

Consider the viability of energy shield generaters and the manufacturing capabilities of our current ship.

"The shield generators are capable of withstanding moderate fire from average-power laser weapons, but provide little protection against ballistic missiles with energy-piercing warheads.

F.I.S.T. has basic on-board manufactory located in the rearer end, allowing for creation of basic components such as electronic circuits, cables, small power sources and low-caliber weapons and tools. It is highly advised to construct more advanced facilities in the landing location."

// That's the ship AI voice by the way.

[griffinpup]

What are the energy requirements of various weapons and defenses, F.I.S.T.? Also, how do we generate energy?
