Poor Tarc, has successfully managed to get the entire science division against him.
Its really more that we decided to do a thing and he decided that we shouldn't do a thing that was kinda like that. Specifically, we discussed bioengineering organisms to make biotech, and he decided that if we gave people genetic or cybernetic augmentations then that's bad. I mean, yes, it started earlier, but that's where the specific issue with the science department came from.

This looks interesting, and I'd like to join, if possible. Is there any slots left?

Yeah.

If possible, you should pop on Discord. We can explain things faster on Discord.

Otherwise, pick out the type of character you want and post a sheet. I'll say we're running short on operatives (Ship captains, spies, diplomatic service members, space marines, you name it, we probably need it) but do NOT let that stop you.

I firmly believe that in his values as a leader he'll be one of the most powerful people, despite the minorities dislike.

just typed up a little description of the ship and character below.

Bar'Quaria Marloss, the Augmented Hanarian Admiral.

Bar'Quaria stands at an imposing (for his species) 5'9.  However, he is broad-shouldered and very well built, just like the rest of his species. his skin is a fair purple, his eyes beady and black-purple, they almost reflect the light. It is obvious from the way he stands that he must be some sort of authority figure.

If he were to take his excellent set of torso coverings, one would not the metal and implants that cover his spine, ending with a single port on the base of his spine, which can be connected any technology that has a port.

Bar'Quaria Marloss is the admiral of a small fleet of ships, no more than a small portion of the entire navy while commanding his own Battle Cruiser, the RNV Sinkable. It is notable for being the singular ship salvaged straight from an abandoned shipyard of a dying star system. It was supposed to be a ship of unheralded power with the theoretical ability to supposedly glass planets, but the reality comes far short. The laser that at one point spanned the entire interior of the ship is now only up to the exterior portions of the area due to the looting of long past, it could barely pierce an atmosphere now, much fewer scar continents. the rest of the ship did not fare as well in the process of completing it with inferior technology. its other weapons are standard, or even worse than the rest of the fleet, but it is made up for that with ample internal space for  ground side operations, and is the designated orbital presence, the recovered blueprints even note that the ship could freely enter and exit a Terran Atmosphere if a retrofit on its engines are completed.

the SNV Sinkable is a Siege Cruiser, the main gun could fire upon ships, but it is not as likely to hit as its deck guns. Its main weapon can act as a tactical or strategic strike weapon against planets, but it would be left vulnerable when doing such acts. it has ample space for the deployment of ground assets. the space that was once used by its laser was replaced with some support structure, in various forms to relieve the otherwise horrific logistical strain that maintaining such a war machine would have.

It is highly likely that the Sinkable will work with ground side assets in missions.

Welcome Gwolfski

Don't worry too much about the one mistake, Smoke Mirrors. Your character was memorable for all the demonology and story writing.

I’m running a game/mechanics test called Fate/Mechanics Test. Feel free to check it out.

Hey Gwolfski! Glad you answered the call.
The sheet will need a name, department, race (you can basically just make up anything, we've got 20% assorted species), a position, something you're good at, and something that's a problem for you.

Um, ok, Saraket's description. Ok.

Well, we've established he's a winged/"air" Draqon, so he's got wings, and pale (specifically, very pale yellow) scales. He's a bit tall for an air Draqon, at 6'7 (the average is 6'4), though he's pretty lanky, almost to the point of being underweight.

When talking, he has a habit of gesturing wildly with both his hands and his wings; since he has fairly little spatial awareness, this tends to end poorly for nearby onlookers and fragile objects. 

His personal workshop is a maze of discarded and broken junk, kept for parts with which he'll make his improbable inventions. Surprisingly, he can navigate his lab deftly, barely brushing the precarious piles of junk found within. No one else has successfully stayed in his lab for more than two minutes without bumping into something.

Gumo "s appearance:  Is a member of space dwarves and is a retired warrior. After a battle requiring he need a cyborg body to stay alive. His form is 5'3 which is tall for a Dwarves, just as broad as a dwarf. His body is mostly brand n, spine and organs in a shell around skeleton and muscle. Thick metal body, servo tail for fashionable n, has spare manipulator tentacles for handling and houses a Swiss army array of stuff in his metallic body. He has six servo eyes which are led lens, his legs are normalize.


His work space is shockingly clean. Though his living space is a wreck. And has a liquid diet.


Cam modifiy his voice. Keeps it Sean Connery mostly.

Hey, Tntey, I'd recommend changing that ship name to start with RDV CL-1, that is, Randiri Diplomat Vessel, Cruise Liner ver. 1. It fits better with the system we established.

Correct, especially if the ship is armed. Unarmed escape vessels are ships, while armed ones are vessels, so that's another difference.

Cody bob: Android Death Machine. Welcome! Looks like a very interesting character. The Night Raiders are a good fit, though the Skyjumpers are also a good choice.

I'll do the next update tomorrow. Looking pretty good overall, make sure what you are attempting to do is clear. Especially if you are a leader, try to let me know what your character is focusing the most on for this turn.

Night Raiders have access to 4 Raider class frigates and 2 dropships (frigate sized transports made for hostile landings)

Recon has 3 survey vessels, frigate sized with simple stealth technology (dampened engines) and advanced sensors.

Glass your project would be extremely difficult, and has a negative modifier of -10.
Madman: Your project is more doable, but is large scale so -3 modifier.
Tyrant: Hmm I'm going to say -4 modifier on this one.
You can reduce negative modifiers through experiments (usually -1, but can go to -2) which you need to come up with :P
