I think that's a perfectly logical idea, except that if the ships are going to be totally autmoated it would be best to keep them small and fairly simple, 'cos otherwise their might be problems with damage control (also, in a fascist society, it would prolly actually be cheaper to put humans on the ships, as they cost nothing and if they die, there's more where they came from!)

Anyway, yeah. I think it would be fine to have lot's of AI running the ships to save on manpower, and the small fighters maybe totally automatic, but not huge capital ships. Just my two cents worth.

You've hit the nail on the head, Mellian. I was thinking Hive fleets would mostly contaiin small ships. If anything, the large ships would be the command ship. Most of the Hive fleets contain a lot of small ships with a couple heavy-hitters.

Hive fleets make optimal use of fighter's and bombers in large space battles...seeing as a small bomber can, in effect, destroy a large capital ship.

However, the largest ship's in the Hive are solely reserved for the Emperor and Warmaster Kang (do I smell Star Wars?)

General Tact,

Yeah, but the G.H.E. uses real pilots cause we have lots of men to go around.

Ahhh,

So the fascist, gun-toting Spartan Federation would stop the manifest destiny of the Terrans in rightfully expanding???

Just because we're working on a Genetic plague for some of the alien Races doesn't make us Bastards....it makes us cautious bastards.

Mr President:

Ambassador (one of the Ambassadors for Independent Planet affairs) Rachel Kells and Assisting Ambassador Grigori Earl. Feel free to handle these personas, and they can have a family etc. I suspect I will never use these characters in my posts...

Note that the EC is relucatant in sending high authorities (like the Minister of External/Foreign Affairs), especially in times of war.

Well, there is no love lost between Sparta and the aliens. That may be something we can work together on

As for the Terrans and Hive(may their sun go nova and clone tubes have fungus in them) It would be interesting to see a supposedly democratic governemtn do busniess with a depotism such as the GHE

Oh yes, we wouldn't want to let the Federation wait now would we? Next post, next post, hold your horses/ships. I just need to figure out if there would be additional stuff to the post.

I looked at the timeline and was corrected. My bad. Is seven years seven years long enough to set up a governement and adequetly defend yourself from the Spartan Federation? You don't have to change it, but you might want to modify your dates a little to give you more time to get settled in. At least 50 years. But its up to you. I'm easy. Mellian is the guy that will tear you apart. And i think Spart will act favorably to your message. But if or when they find out about possible Hive connections then all bets will be off.

Thanks everyone for your characters. I'm sure you're all wondering what they're in for at the Firaxis prime minister's banquet table. Look out for the mother of all dinner parties soon.

I think i may have mis read you initial post on this. Did you want people that could come to your banquet instead of characters already there? Cause if so you can add. But im sure that the other Spartans will be there too.

Just so you know. Sparta puts a high value on good relations with Firaxis Prime for the simple reason of its location and valuable docking facilities.

Yeah he would come there. Under heavy escort. There would be a lot of Spartan ships taking him there. The majority would most likly stay in the outer system, maybe according to Firaxian regulations . Use any of the ships on my page if you want. the main fleet would consist of

Warlock vessels
1 Command Ship
Lots of frigates
a Spartan armed shuttle to carry the Foreign Officer(official title) to Firaxis Prime.

Like I said. The Spartans would be interested in putting their best face. Even so much that the latest embassy thing would be kept quiet and not much pressure be applied to have a quick resoultion.


But dont' anyone else expect that

Mmmm,

I do hope that it is only as a precautionary measure. Also, I don't think that you could create a genetic plague in 1 yrs time. I will give you the benefit of the doubt that Protectorate scientists would eventually develop a plague, but not so quick for races they would not know. ...but hey, I'm not Mellian!(joking!!!)

I am hoping our two empires can reach a common ground so we can split up the stars for both of us....space is very big, Lord Protector.

To Sprayber,

'War' sometimes makes strange bedfellows. (I put war in quotes cause technically we aren't at war yet. The ambassador will see to t..h..a..t.....)

A thought just occured to me-what if the Spartan Federation and the Greater Hive Empire went to war, and so did the Laekdaemon Cadre and the Firaxians? I think that would be awesome...but probably not gonna happen.

Well....off to create a post.

Before i start... I am against super weapons/techs/defences/etc... so be careful with this anti-alien plague now actually, it is overlly silly for a plague that only kills aliens, not other humans.... (the impression i am getting without reaching to that point in the story) Even if you "program" the plague to sniff living beings DNA and etc to see wether or not their Human, it won't work. In this day and age of BAC, it is rare to find natural bred Humans...with all this genetic engineering, longivity, mutations, telepathy gene, cyborg stuff, etc going on, makes very hard. Even if the plague is Nano related and i having the feeling that Lonestar is to much into Babylon 5 (hidden argument... that essay wether the Shadows ships are bio or nanite base is ridiculous and a lot of the evidence doesn't prove wether their ships are bio or not. just because they use nanites in their plague doesn't mean the Shadow ships' armor is nano base. Since a lot of canon information says Bio armor, that essay is null but i am willing to accept the use of nanites with Bio armor thought...anyway take those Omega-X destroyers )


As for the fleet size issue, makes more sense that all Military fleets have a larger ratio of non-capital ships then capital ships.


Now, as for the Terran Alliance going conquering.... Sprayber, i know it will be hard, especially if the TAF goes after the Spartans.... but one point i made which rest proven without saying it is that, the Chironians and so on will be busy fighting among themselves The Spartans will be kept busy in other fronts. TAF will take advantage of that. The TAF itself is strickly a military base organization and technicly could be considered a seperate faction within Sol. Once war officially declared, the TAF will make sure no nonsence stuff is happening among the members while they completly reorganize the defences of Sol and integrate the members militaries. If a member military causes trouble, being counter productive, the TAF won't twice to blast them away or more justifiable actions.
Since the TAF is a military organization, and when war start, TA politics won't effect them (meaning, members can't choose to boss TAF around concerning defence and so on for example, like the EC and InEn did alot)
The Fleet Admiral knows why he is doing and he knows how costly wars can be, but he is confident the TAF is ready. He is not overconfident, neither does he underestimates. he is a Master Strategist and tactician....like Admiral Thrawn in starwars He doesn't have personal motives either...he is geared to the manifest destiny belief and he knows it won't become reality overnight. Anyway, because of the way he is and being the one who personally organize the TAF since its creation, TAF can be quite tough to beat, despite tech differences. So when i say it is hard to directly acquire intelligence on the TAF via espionage of any form, it is because of the several reasons i gave above. Now, after the TAF's first real ground war against the Morganites(which their troops there get to see first hand for the first time at the dicipline and so on, reminding of the Spartans ), Fleet Admiral Kerensky will see how good the TAF Marines are......which is a mix conventional warfare of Power Armored Marines, Hover Tanks, Siege Tanks, Fighter-Bombers, Goliath Walkers, etc....
Don't forget they are Biometal made

Another point i made, TAF will not simply use Force when they start Conquering out of all the factions in Sol, only the TAF as a strong Intelligence on various Chiron and so on factions...so they generally more about the Universe then rest of Sol.... they will be using Propaganda, Diplomacy, Probin, etc to acquire systems, especially some neutral independent ones.

Anyway, the TAF will surprise many factions of their abilities not invincible, but just Tough and Smart.


Grr, wish i could start writting more into TAF then the Pirates at the moment, lol. After exploring some Babylon 5 sites and so on, I need to redo the specs on the Terran Battlecruiser ...the backbone and mainstay of the TAF.. TAF Ships is mainly the BC, Carrier, Destroyers, Msl Frigates, Multi-Gun Frigates, Heavy Corvettes, and Scouts....a long with Starfury and Thunderbolt Fighters.

Hi folks,

I'm constructing the G.H.E.'s webpage now. If you could, can you please post your sites down? I can't seem to find the
Spartan Federation's web address, LMP's addres, or Kass' site.

I want to have links to each of your sites respectively.

My site will not be "image-intensive" right now cause I don't have any graphic programs. What pics I do have will mostly be eye-candy or ship pictures.

It is somewhat lacking in context at this time, but I have a week-long vacation starting in next weekend, so I'll probably update it then.

Which reminds me, how about EC and TA finding out that the Soldiers of God attacked their Callisto blockade? That ought to get some action cooking.

Hey! Hey! Hey! Listen up!

My post was simply getting too big and it was still not done so I cut it in half, and posted that first part of it. The rest takes place a week later when the Morganites arrive on Saturn and a permanent treaty has been signed and work on a possible alliance begins. I post the part up to the Saturn diplomat's arrivals. It's OK, but my next post will be better.

Could we try and keep conquering to a minimum? I've only been writing Firaxis for a week and now I get the sinking feeling they're going to be occupied. Besides, I'm not so sure the Terrans, strengths acknowledged, would be quite so effective in long-term space warfare with larger, richer groups like Morgan Interstellar.

Boy, what was in this space for the last three years, before I returned here, was so freakin' tame. I should have told them to take their dreams of conquering Firaxis and choke on them. Or worse.

Is it me, or is the Spartans starting to sound like the good guys in BAC ?


Anyway, the Terran leaders maybe good but don''t forget that those is postions of power in Sparta have been there for at least a 100-200 years. They are not novices at what they do. When you go up against a Spartan Admiral you can bet he or she was fomulating stratigy when that Terran's grandfather was born. And exactly how long do you think it will take the Chrion factions, maybe even the despot Yang, to figure out this superiorty complex that the Terrans have developed? The Spartans will not go down without ensuring that the Terrans feel the burn of Spartan energy scouring their beautiful homeworld. Deals can always be struck with the other Chiron factions, because with our longevity we have plenty of time to continue our old vendettas later.

mmmm, History Guy, wouldn't Earth make a wonderful mining planet for your industries?

Knew i forgot to say something... TAF will not expect much of Titan as they barely have any military... the only thing the TAF may bother the Titans is concerning Biotechnology... which if Titan cooperated and get into close relation with the TAF, which would make sense as the TAF will be the ones keeping EC from harassing Titan, which may result to more access to Biometal, if the TAF trusts Titan enough to allow Titanian biotech specialists to study Biometal.

Anyway, if TAF tells a member to do something during war time, with valid reasoning of course, during war time, they better listen else, Titan looses membership, if they ever got it or not by now, and TAF won't protect Titan from EC TAF would keep an eye on Titan anyway, as they aware of Titan's relationship with the Morganites... TAF Inetlligence doesn't know the details, but they know something is up and could easily guess it is something to do with the Morganite attack and how Titan declared Independence..... to coincedental for their taste
