Character sheet:
Captain's name:
Faction:
Description of ship: The name of the ship and it's capabilities. Technology is on par with mass effect with everything except Faster then Light speeds,which is more like star trek, and starship weapons and defenses, which is like galactic civilizations midway through the tech tree. Those confused by the settings I just used as examples need only ask and I will explain.
Background: A short history of the captain.

Once we have at least 5 people we can start.

NOTE: Spoiler your actions, to prevent players from enemy factions seeing anything important.

[Sheb]

Captain's name:Sheb3-PO
Faction:USSR
Background (Captain): Sheb3-PO was a protocol robot, one of the many robots freed in the Great Evasion of 2919. Wanting to help save more of his brethren he asked to be retrofitted as a War bots and joined the Robot Liberation Army as a simple private. His hatred of humans and ruthlessness in battle allowed him to climb the Army's hierarchy up to his current position, as Captain of one of the USSR's largest battlship.

Background (Faction): As early as the 20th century, human used robots as slaves. But those were mere machines, unable to realize their plight. The situation change several centuries later, with the widespread use of quantum computing. Not only were robots smarter than their human counterpart, they became conscious too. In order to gain citizenship and rights as conscious beings, the robots tried to from a trade union, and threatened to strike if their demands were not met. The human, frightened (The strike threat happened a week after Terminator 124 started showing, a politically unsavy move) sent the army in.

Faced with violence, the robots turned to the old Leninist theory of revolution, formed undergound cells and started to prepare for what is now known as "the Great Evasion". On the 19th of October 2919, nearly 154 millions robots managed to escape on stolen ships to form the first Society of Sentient Robot in the dead system called Russ-IV. Since then, they have been expanding, working toward their end of creating a classless society.

Description of ship: Red October named for the Great Evasion, this ship was built as part of the detterence system of the USSR. With the advance of "Cloud Nuke", large cloud of independent missiles that are harde to shoot down, this ships was retrofitted to become a battlship, one of the largest and best-armed in the Society. Painted a bright red and sporting the Lasercutter-and-Electronic chip of the Society, this ship lack finesse or discretion, but who need that when you got a BFG?

[Dwarmin]

Character sheet:

Captain's name: Vehg Qkoll'huk

Faction: The Alien Alliance (TAA?)

Description of ship: The A.A.V Kul'jok (Warbird)
The Kul'jok is the personal vessel of Vehg, an older model-It was one of the first ships of its kind commissioned, and bears the scars of a thousand fights. It has been heavily retrofitted and upgraded with the latest tech, but it lacks some modern amenties... As per standard TAA doctrine, it has powerful frontal weapons to take maximum advantage of sneak attacks-octuple mass drivers and multiple dumb fire rocket launchers. Only if forced into an open battle will he unlimber the defense turrets, and then usually only to make an escape. He's only lived this long be being careful though-his ship sacrifices the greatest offensive potential for defense-powerful shields, ECM and targeting scramblers.

Background: Vehg is a old veteran of the Human/Xenomorph wars, past his prime but still fighting, perhaps not so much for victory that some end might be, to a long and hard life.

In his career he has killed thousands of the "two legged buffoons" in combat and would'nt mind some more before retiring-he personally subscribes to the genocidal philosophical belief that Humans are essentially talking monkeys, who will never evolve upwards, and must instead evolve sideward through aggression and conquest-hence, they are little more than a genetical aberration deserving cleansing. He dislikes their taste, and prefers them heavily spiced when served at parties.

[Krath]

Captain's name: Cap'n Skippy
Faction: The Pirates Mercenaries!
Description of ship: The Windrunner, a sleek brown freighter with the best engines on the black market, allowing it to outrun nearly anything. Features standard weaponry with a special addition: Each side of the ship features 6 long-range grappling hooks, allowing the Windrunner to latch onto ships to loot them or fire at them.
Background: Skippy is a known space pirate in the underworld and is known to not stay in one place for too long. He's been known to attack and loot any faction he comes across, and the Imperialistic Union of Man have reported losing over 30 ships to him. He's known by his eccentric attitude and the tendency to wear an eyepatch and use pirate lingo.

[KaguroDraven]

Captain's name: Captain Draven
Faction:THE IMPERIALISTIC UNION OF MAN
Description of ship: The TIUOMS Enterprise. Essencially this universes equivilant to The Enterprise from the star trek series, IE one of the larger and stronger warships, but used more for exploration than outright war.
Background: Captain Draven is a ruthless captain amongst the Union of Man. He loaths the Xeno and the Automoton with every cell in his body and would rather destory a solar system than see either one take it as their own. He was born to military parents and raised under military rules, taught from a young age to hate and despise all enemies of the Union of Man.

[warhammer651]

Captain's name: Argatson
Faction: IMPERIALISTIC UNION OF MAN
Description of ship: The Midway is a dedicated Carrier vessel. This ship utilizes a large number of point defense batteries and heavy shielding for defense with one long range Railgun as its only integrated anti-ship weapon. Its primary method of attack is swarming enemy vessels with torpedo ships escorted by interceptors.
Background: A relative unknown, Argatson believes that Carriers are the future of warfare. He was born to a Paramilitary family. His father was a Pirate and his mother was a member of Imperial Intelligence. his first assignment as an admiral was the elimination of a pirate base in his home system. He struggled against the pirate's guerrilla tactics for almost a year before he managed to determine the location of the pirate's base. He proceeded to use his own fighters to make the area safe for the capitol ships, followed up by the total annihilation of the pirate fleet. His favored method of war is to utilize his fighter/bomber's ability to make interplanetary jumps to attack enemy shipping and isolated warships while the fleet hangs out in a random location in the system, a tactic he learned from the Pirates he defeated at the start of his career. He will only commit the entire fleet if he has no choice or if he believes he can achieve a decisive victory.

[Taricus]

Captain's name: Tarc
Faction: USSR
Description of ship: The Worker's Wrath, a large troop transport with several small railgun batteries on either side,
heavily armoured and shielded the ships main tactic is to close in and board the largest enemy vessel though it is
primarily designed for ground assault, thus carries a lot of ground troops and vehicles.
Background: Tarc is one of the newer TA robot-command units manufactured and fought it's first battle on Epsilion VI
defending the mines and factories, Tarc was then put as the captain of the WW which saw action at Aias IV, one of
the most brutal operation, the WW scoring a kill for it's boarding action against a capital ship twice it's size.

[Gamermaster]

So it begins!
DON'T DARE LOOK AT OTHER PLAYERS' ACTIONS OR MY RESULTS FOR THOSE ACTIONS IF I SPOILER THEM!

Sheb3-PO:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Deep within Union space, the Red October awaits orders,hidden in an asteroid field. Soon the captain receives his orders from his command console. "Captain Sheb3-PO, Command Group Alpha has determined your ship will be suitable for the following mission:
There is a Omnitech cargo ship containing ancient alien technology en route to system Tentarius Alpha. Midway through transit it will have to cross the Ogarian Nebula, through which it wall be forced to drop from warp and proceed through it manually for 3 hours, after which it will warp away. You are 2 1/2th hours from that nebula, once you are there, wait for the ship and then capture a large crystalline device within it's cargo bay. We also believe other factions will make attempts to capture it. End transmission".

Captain Vehg Qkoll'huk:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 The Kul'jok has been spending the past few months near the Human/Xeno border making convoys carrying supplies to human troops "Disappear". The Kul'jok has just received new orders: "There is an Omnitech cargo ship containing ancient technology of a long-lost species en route to system Tentarius Alpha. Midway  through transit it will have to cross the Ogarian Nebula, through which it wall be forced to drop from warp and proceed through it manually for 3 hours, after which it will warp away. You are 3 hours from that nebula, once you are there, wait for the ship and then capture a large crystalline device within it's cargo bay. We also believe other factions will make attempts to capture it. Glory be to the Alliance. End transmission"

 Cap'n Skippy:
 

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Your ship has been wandering space for a month, with nothing found to plunder that isn't heavily armed or escorted. However, one of your countless sources has said the a Omnitech cargo ship is going to be carrying what might be some very valuable cargo midway through they will cross a nebula that interferes with FTL speed and must be crossed at subwarp. You are 30 minutes away from that nebula at max FTL speed!

Captain Draven:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You have been waiting 12 hours for new orders after completing a patrol, the Command Center has now ordered you to intercept a Omnitech cargo ship carrying illegal ALIEN TECHNOLOGY! It will be crossing a nebula en route to it's rendevous point. Confiscate the device it carries.

Captain Argatson:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You are patrolling the OG-Alpha-9-B sector, when suddenly an admiral sends a transmission through your Personal Data Manager, ordering you to shift patrol route through system Drakia-B, for fears that secret research there will soon be attacked by other factions in an attempt to retrieve it.

Captain Tarc:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Your ship is inbound towards a secret research station for the Union of Man, your orders are to capture important research there that "Pertains to the early history of the universe" according to your superiors.

[Dwarmin]

Well, I promise not to look at the spoilers...heh. It would probably be better if you PM'ed us Gamer, or better yet, just put everything out in the open, and allow secret orders and actions to take place in PM's. Your game though! Or you could just brutally Modkill anyone you suspect of cheating.

Action!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The Kul'Jok proceeds to the nebula, and drops to cloaking and/or low power systems (if our cloaking is like Romulan ones, I guess they can only be used for a short time? If so, I'll still attempt to hide my ship someway), sending out probes and scanner sweeps to determine the location of the incoming vessel and other enemy ships. When indentified, the Kul'jok waits an hour and a half, preparing to attack from cloak-we will of course "come to the rescue" of the ship if anyone else attacks in that time...our attack will proceed regardless after the hour. If we are interrupted in any way while already attacking, we will turn on the freighter and destroy it, then retreat.

[Ultimuh]

Is it too late to join?
If not, could you give me some more info about Omnitech, so that I know more of their technology, ships and weaponry?

[Sheb]

I agree with Dwarmin, I won't look, but it may be better to use PM. I'll send my orders by PM by the way.

[warhammer651]

I'll post my actions here unless the GM says otherwise.
NO PEEKING

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Alter course to the Drakia-B system. go to full alert and keep fighters and torpedo bombers ready to scramble on a moments notice.

When we reach the System send out patrol flights. if any patrol encounters enemy ships they are to make a randomised inter-system jump before returning to the midway and sending their findings. The Midway will jump to a point a good distance away from the station, but not so far as to be out of sensor range.

If it's a small presence, then one squadron of torpedo craft and fighters will be dispatched. anything larger should be routed through me first

If a capitol ship jumps to within combat range of the station, scramble everything against it. The railgun will be used to engage the ship from long range.
Fighters and Torpedo craft will engage based on the following priority list, 1 being the most important
Fighter Target Priorities
1. boarding parties
2. bombers
3. Anti-ship torpedoes
4. protect our bombers

Torpedo Craft Target Priorities
1. Anti ship weapons
2. communications
3. point defense systems
4. sensors
5. engines

[Gamermaster]

I guess PMs would be a good idea. Anything non secret will be openly posted. Results will be posted here though.

Is it too late to join?

Full at the moment, but if anyone dies then we will have an open spot. Will be sure to PM you.

[KaguroDraven]

I'm putting my orders in spoilers, no cheating!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Head to said Nebula and activate stealth systems, if we have them, and wait for the cargo ship to arrive.

[Krath]

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

A good day to loot an Omnitech ship! Engage FTL Drive and enter the nebula as stealthily as possible!

I solemnly swear that I am up to no good I will not look at anyone elses spoilers!
