Quick question: Given how advanced the two civilizations are, how much do they rely on terrestrial military forces anymore? Or phrased another way, how much are you ripping off Halo?  :P

ED: Since Nimitz posted a sheet first, is it possible to hang on as non-essential crew, or do I just sign on the waiting list? (I was thinking of getting cannon/driver and driving the jeep anyway :P)

ED2: I do have a couple suggestions for the name, though:

USDF Fashionably Late
USDF Just A Flesh Wound
USDF Flying Deathtrap
USDF Consider This a Mutiny

If we do get other crew, does that mean the guys on the bridge are stuck there? :P

What? USDF? Like in battlezone?
No, USDF=United Sol Defense Force.

Alpha Centauri...?

Well, the Xecobia never landed on any planets yet, just glassed them. So we don't really rely on ground forces. :P

No non-essential crew. You're on the waiting list.

Turn up sometime, feeling drained right now.

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Just in case someone misunderstands my profile, I didn't join the USDF at 15. :P

Never.

Turn 0: off to Luyten 726-8 we go!


Thomas (IronyOwl) is in an officer's bar, talking with other officers, Thomas can see Drake, Admiral of the USDF. A war veteran.

Suddenly, a man enters the room and rushes to Drake.


Captain Minic:
"Sir!"

Admiral Drake: "Minic?"

Captain Minic: "Sir, we've got Xecobia on the radar."

Admiral Drake:
"Where?"

Captain Minic: "Near Pluto."

Admiral Drake: "...And how strong are they?"

Captain Minic: "They outnumber us 3 to 1, sir."

Drake grabs the loudspeaker.

Admiral Drake: "Alright boys, we're outnumbered 3 to 1, the poor bastards. Get your ships, this is going to get hot."

Everyone rushes out of the room. Admiral Drake grabs Thomas.

Admiral Drake:
"Not you, Thomas, I need you to go to Luyten 726-8, we've been getting reports of Xecobia in the system, and the HCA has nothing but fighters there, they wouldn't stand a chance. You're new, I don't want to lose you for no reason."

Thomas rushes out to his ship, his crew is waiting for him.

Co-pilot Frelock: Welcome back sir. We're ready to go.

Salute the captain on his way in.

On our way out of the system, do system checks on the weaponry, make sure the weapon scanners, sights, etc are working 100%. Then just, wait. Wait for further orders from the captain and go about my usual duties.

A more serious question, wouldn't you think a medical position would be nice to add?

Also, I'd like to be on the waiting list.

I do a quick check on my systems. Last check was a few hours ago, but it never hurts to be safe. I also salute the captain as he enters.

"Cap'n." I say. "Heard the Xecobians are in the system...is it true? What's are next course of action?"

We don't need no medics!

...

Well, ground combat was never in mind when making the ship. So there's no medical bays, although there is a bunch of med packs. And in space combat it's usually you die instantly or you come out unharmed. The weapons are just there "in case".

Added to waiting list.

Maybe there is a med bay (accidents happen you know), but it wouldn't be real exciting to have someone play as medical staff in this RP/RTD.

Medpacks added to the ship. Just in case. And yes, medics probably wouldn't be very fun.

Chillax at my post, checking the weapons systems to ensure they're functioning well.
