After the fall of the Soviet Union in 1953, and several important scientific discoveries, mankind has set out to settle the Solar System and explore the galaxy! You now lead a one of the factions that bathes in the light of our home star in the glorious year of 2015. Space is starting to fill up, and it's up to you whether to fight for a place in the Solar System, or pack your bags for worlds beyond!
As stated before, most of the system is filled, from the arid deserts of Mercury and steaming swamps of Venus, to the frozen wastes of Pluto and the comet fields, to the lagrangian stations around Earth. Space travel is fairly simple (SSTO from Earth is a snap) and a good pilot can get from New York to Luna City in an afternoon, or to Marsianingrad in under a week of steady flying. Earth's population is about fifteen billion, and total human population is pushing 25 bil. The good ol' U.S. of A is still a superpower, but most everything outside of Low Earth Orbit is outside its direct influence (also an NPC). About half of settlements are lawless frontier towns, but some larger cities have been set up. Aliens are still unknown, but you can be an exploration/invasion force from the stars if you so choose.

>Faction Name: Asteroid Mining Station S.P.U.D.1487
>Faction Location: Asteroid Cluster in the Kuiper Belt
>Faction Fluff: The S.P.U.D. (Stellar Prerogative for Underground Drilling) Initiative was begun back in 2003 in response to waning mineral resources back on Earth and the Lunar colonies. After decades of overconsumption and production, there was simply not enough left to mine. Mankind then looked outwards, to the stars. Asteroids were quite literally made of the minerals they required, and so mining camps were established throughout the solar system in the asteroid belts.
Station 1487, referred to by its inhabitants as "Mage-Rock", is one such camp, probably one of the larger ones in this sector of the Belt. It was set up to gather a particular commodity - sodium. And the asteroid cluster it's based in has plenty of salt. It's got all the usual commodities, as well as a multinational docking base for shipments and stops by passing vessels. The guard force spends half its time as a regular police force, since it's not quite important enough to threaten attack, but the station has built up a minor community based around the mining business. What the future holds for this humble 'nation' is uncertain, but one thing is known: the members of Station 1487 will greet it with plenty of salt.

Anthony Roberts. Genius. Billionaire. Playboy. Son of the late Stark Roberts and inheritor of his corporate empire, he brought Robert's Robotics to a new zenith of technological and finanicial might.
For decades, Robert's Robotics was known as 'The Ford of Automatons'. By revolutionizing the automated process of using robots to make more robots, they brought affordable, reliable, and fully intelligent automated units to each and every american home.
Contracting for civilian and military, their many line of machines and computers permeates throughout all of American society, and much of the rest of the world at large.
And so it was decided to invest in the space frontier as well. Remember, before there was a Man on the moon, there was a Robot. Pioneering the way for settlers thanks to a lack of need for any life support, Robert's Robotics pave the way, opening up automated mining and terraforming operations.

1. Start developing designs on project "Tabula Rasa". A automaton chasis or base with no initial functionality beyond the most basic movement, power, and intellect, but which is designed for modular upgrade capability.
We will be able to mass produce these simple robot units in bulk, and when need be upgrade them to the purpose we need the most, be it mining, construction, domsetic, agriculture, military, or any other.
2. Start construction on the Automated Robot Assembly plant, to produce the new bot. This will give us a steady trickle of bots per turn, without us having to devote actions.

Ah, Makemake. A dwarf planet if ever there was one, but still the largest Kuiper Belt Object in, well, the Kuiper Belt. Some would call it a veritable "Nation" unto itself. But Alebzar Dreathe had no time to admire the progress. There was work to be done at his station.
1 - Mining, as usual. We've got a lot of sodium shipments to make for our generous benefactors.
2 - A lot of loyalty, these hired guns. And a lot of them, too. But what moron would want to attack a mining operation? Well we pay em to do something, so go and do something!

1. First things first. With these few metals available the Mission to Space will have to take upon it's other qualities to reach their goal. Having an excellent Life Support, whatever the hell that meant it would hopefully prove beneficial in reasearch concerning the human body. Certainly there could be some marvelous improvements made to it. Research should begin asap.
2. That being said defense was of the essence. While Bob first intended to go into the far reaches of space he soon became aware that this would hardly be achievable without any spaceships. Thus it would seem he'd have to guarantee a defense against any ships first. Anti spaceship weaponry, innovative and resource efficient was to be constructed by the highly motivated workers! Bob had just the idea for it.

By the way, life support is the overall means to support your faction's life, including water, air, food power and cubic. So for example, Venus is a lush, green planet, so they get a 10/10, while the rings of saturn really aren't all that much of anything, so that's a 2/10. All robots need is power and lube, so bare asteroids get them 10/10.

>>1809

The factory is up and running, and you get five-hundred new combat automatons (M2015C) per turn.
>>1810
you manage to set up a base on a small moonlet within the rings. Life support now 3/10. Further, you make contact with the population of Titan.
>>1813
You fall under this term's quota for sodium production. The benefactors are a little put out. You are in debt, and you financial status is slightly harmed.
>>1814
You make some progress in research, but not much. You discover that the human body, when placed in high gravity for extended periods of time, becomes stronger and tougher. Further, several batteries of transorbital anti-ship missiles are constructed, to defend your facilities from orbital invasion or bombardment. They are highly successful against test rockets.
Alright, everyone take two actions.

1 The Water Bandit Siege of 2009 where the bandits planned orbital siege with the stratagem of constructing multiple massive but ramshackle shields designed to block solar rays from reaching Pluto when it already takes nearly five and a half hours for light from the Sun to arrive which ended in our victory when some solar winds tore the shields to pieces. Regardless we realized that we could use a different source of power so schematics for a Hydrogen Power Plant.
2 We have great stores of minerals from the nearby Kuiper Belt, a missile assembly line would put those minerals to use.

Certainly with a leader as visionary as Bob and these comfortable living conditions they will understand that the success of the mission depends upon them.

1. These inferior specimens do not know of us just yet, and we should not risk out hand until we have quantified the most impactful time to rid of them. Begin work on PROJECT: SIGMALIO(first pic)for we will need ground troops able to sufficiently decimate the enemy ranks with speed and aggression, and take to the skies when they need to. Use the genetic information from members of Shidron Battalion, for they are already specialized in high speed air and ground assault. Also use the hyfelion hypership parts and miniaturize fusion cores.
2. Contact Planet Hydron 6-5 and request the speedy deployment of Battlestation "Kings Folly"(Second Pic). With it we shall have both the numbers, supplies, and technology to decimate the enemy in our first and preferably only attack.

1. Go out and scout for suitable planetoids or unclaimed space territory we can stake claims on. Every barren rock or uninhabitable zone is an option. Soon, we'll be able to set up production operations there and in the long run terraformation operations.
2. Develop the Robert's Constructor drone. An upgrade path for the Tabula Rasa drone, it will have hovermaglev capability and be equipped with an all purpose Constructo-Beam™. A laser which is capable of delving and slicing up thick rock, welding or separating thick metal plates, or laser printing small amonuts of metal to create rivets, bolts, and other devices. Maglev capability will allow it to carry and lift heavy loads even in zero gravity, and it will be perfectly suited for our construction means.

1 With our new rocket arsenal we can finally launch satellites to monitor different parts of our orbit and transmit useful scientific data using small fusion systems for power instead of solar cells which have proven to be unreliable. Though we may need to replace them in a few hundred years these satellites should let us monitor if any dirty water bandit ships enter the solar system and our orbit.
2 On the Ice Planet you get a lot of thinking done, is the universe getting bigger or are we just getting smaller? Would alien ship explosions look different from water bandit explosions? How do we blow up the Sun? (We actually figured out this one) The Big Questions. If we were invaded by a huge fleet sure we could blow them away with our Big Fucking Gun but what about the soldiers they land on the planet? We can't- well we could shoot our own Planet but it wouldn't be a good idea so we need a way to last until the ETL can finish off their fleet and the remnants surrender. We may not have fancy energy shields but we can develop big fusion powered suits of armor armed with our best explosive weapons for our small tactical ground forces and they can even use the maintenance belt on the ETL to quickly deploy to different parts of the planet.

A detachment of power-armor-clad solders has followed traces of an alien organism down a deep cavern under the planet's surface. Getting lost isn't a problem, what with the suits' internal guidance. Deeper still they venture, until they find a massive gallery, with a very odd floor. It appears to be a giant, gem-hard pane of glass stretching on in every direction. Far below the surface are strange bands of color. They walk along for a ways, sensors telling you that the cavern is simply tremendous, when the commander decides to see if the floor can be cut through. One specialist with cutting tools is set to the task, and for a moment, there is no noise but the hiss of his laser cutter. Then all hell breaks loose. There is a terrible roar like the ending of the world itself, and the ground shakes, and feels like it is being thrust upwards, throwing the soldiers to the floor. Their distress is short-lived, as the floor slams them into the ceiling at a speed high enough to crush even the resilient mech suits.
Above the ground, there is chaos. Titan has begun to fracture itself apart, sending the population scrambling for their ships in hopes of escaping the catastrophe. Many escape. More do not. Of the ships that leave the surface, many are destroyed by flying chunks of the planet's surface. As the debris clears, one thing was clear. The what humanity had known as Saturn's largest moon, Titan, was no moon. It was an egg.

Surprisingly, you find an entire salt this term, putting you back on schedule. Rondoon figures out the secret of hydroponics lies in actually filling the system with water, and soon there's a serving of kale and swiss chard for everyone at lunch.

Your engineers devise a system for diverting some newly-produced drones to fitting areas, with capacity to convert 50% of your monthly production. To inaugurate the facility, you have exactly that done, and 250 constructor drones roll off the assembly line, although just under the deadline.

You now have eyes-on around the entire orbit of Pluto, and in high orbits around the rock itself. This gives you exceptional vision, and will let you detect any nearby threats, or anyone entering the Solar System by way of the ecliptic. Your engineers begin work on the so called "Aluminum Guy" suits, and expect to have a working prototype by next turn.

You attempt to drill though another asteroid, this one properly analyzed to make sure it can be mined, but find it still impenetrable. However, you are finally able to diagnose the problem as worn out focusing lenses, and fortunately have the equipment on-site to sharpen them up. The factory is successfully set up, providing you with fifty new robots or five ore haulers per turn.

A close inspection of the oceans reveals a rich ecosystem, with islands made out of the largest of the water plants, as well as great, graceful creatures swimming in the deep, blue oceans. However, the most astonishing find was a race of creatures who lived on and around the sea plants who appeared to be sentient! They looked quite similar to the Swearish, although their bodies were more streamlined, as if for swimming, and rather than merely being flexible, were actually made of a living goo, and apparently lived a tribal life as fishers. Several are taken aboard your scout ship to be examined.

By combining machine and flesh they managed to fight off the aliens, but not before being filled with hatred and anger towards other races. Upon reaching the space stage they wiped out their aggresors and a number of other alien species, and now their latest target is the human race. All Fuzers are a mix of specifically created genetic material and robotics, making it so the race is extremely diverse as each soldier is different yet focused on their goals.

Such a high tech facility couldn't be left to fend for itself against Space Water Bandits and God knows what lies beyond the Solar system so the military facility includes mostly computers to control fighters and surface-to-orbit missiles launched via the ETL. If a large craft were to threaten it with bombardment it would risk the precious facilities so there was no need for large craft to be stationed there other then the original colony craft. Sometimes exploration craft come in on their way out of the system and stop at the bar it serves ice water.

1. Begin project Hearts and Minds. We will need to win the squatters and natives of our recently purchased territory. Constructing an embassy and employment center, starting regular food drops delivered by our flying Constructors, and offering to help repair settlements.
In time, we will see about the construction of schools and hospitals and other such amenities. For now though, we'll need somewhere to start.
2. Develop our own Master Control Network, to ensure the security of our drones.
Rather than have one individual supercomputer that is susceptible to hacking, we shall have several, each ensuring the checks and balances of the other. If one is compromised, the others will immediately converge and eliminate the threat.
These Brain Hubs will be located at several key and distinct locations, as secure as can possibly be. The Brain Hubs themselves will also be partitioned into the checks and balance system.

>Faction Name: The Creedsworn
>Faction Location: Scattered colonies throughout the main asteroid belt of the Milky Way.
>Faction Fluff: The Milky Way Asteroid Belt. A seemingly limitless amount of dust and debris both large and small all brought together in a vortex spanning the entire galaxy. To many, this belt of rock is barren, unable to support life, and most definitely close to impossible to navigate through. But for the Creedsworn…the belt was opportunity, a catalyst for the new tomorrow. For these galactic refugees, the belt was hope, no matter how slim that fact was.
Over time the Creedsworn expanded throughout the asteroid belt, united in their effort to expand. In the beginning much difficulty had to be surpassed, in forms such as figuring out how to remain undetected by galactic military, regulate supplies, and avoid space hazards. The Creedsworn grew to depend on raiding to sustain themselves, invading small planets, mining facilities, and cargo ships for goods and the like. They were aided by a variety of benefits brought about because of the variety of people within the Creedsworn, such as excellent military training, top of the line stealth technology, and efficient piloting systems. It was a system that worked for some time, until the present, when more of the Creedsworn have begun the call for change.
See, these refugees have been united together all these years by one thing only; unflinching loyalty to not only the Creedsworn alliance, but to each other. Every member of the Creedsworn has become so because they have been forsaken by the rest of civilization in some form or another, whether through an arrest warrant for stealing top secret military technology, getting on a crime boss' bad side and seeking refuge, or just plainly being tired of the way galactic society has been running itself. And so the Creedsworn society has resorted to a simpler system of honor and loyalty, the Creed; Thou Shall Protect Thy Brother and Sister to the Fringes of the Galaxy, and Beyond.
However, living in the Milky Way Galaxy asteroid belt has proven very difficult. Many are calling for a retaking of planetary territories for the glory of the Creed. It is in this chapter of the Creedsworn history where we begin their journey.

Despite changing the commanders' appearances while the creation project is already underway, a high degree of success in the early phases keeps their growth and construction on track. They will be ready simultaneously with SIMALO.
However, a greater issue looms over you, quite literally.

Goo people are almost entirely water, and it is not well understood how they remain coherent, let alone how they live or exhibit intelligence. However, what is obvious is that they act like liquids, in that they can change their shape but not their volume. Ordinarily, they are able to shift from an almost-liquid state to one more resembling gelatin, but, after several escape attempts, it is found that exposure to magnetic fields can hold them in the gelatinous state, and so they can be fitted with magnetic collars to keep them in place.
They don't seem capable of verbal speech, but do make soft moans and squeaks, which seem mainly emotive. They seem to communicate by rubbing their tongues together, and, when a researcher tried this, they said that they were able to communicate with the goo girl, and have appeared to suffer no ill results.

The robotic arms lifted the two motionless forms of the commanders from the incubation tanks where they had grown these three past months, and placed them, in perfect unison, onto operating tables. From there, a set of surgical automatons began to work quickly, removing limbs and organs of the two great beings, and replacing them with strange and complex bio-mechanical systems, designed to augment the titans into the best warriors Fuzer ken could fashion. The discarded limbs and offal were transferred to an alter of thoroughly alien design, behind which stood a hooded and robed figure. He lit a fire under the pieces with an unholy flame, and chanted to the old gods of the Fuzers, dark spirits worshiped before they had known even fire. Atop the tables, the machines added the final augmentations, before a cleansing spray removed any remaining blood and nutrient slime from their massive bodies. As the fire on the alter died down, the priest walked forward, and, coming to the surgical tables, placed a hand upon the forehead of the yet-still women, closed his eyes, and, trough the implants in his palms, sent a spark of electricity into each one of them, waking them. Two pairs of eyes, each a blue pupil set in gold, opened with a flash. As they rose to their feet, the priest dropped to one knee before them.
"My queens. Welcome to your command." he said. For the first time, he had a chance to observe their appearances directly. They were tall, almost four meters, with a curvy softness that just barely failed to hide the powerful muscles underneath. Their bodies were clearly built for combat, with a clean, utilitarian spareness, but, paradoxically, this gave the two a sense of elegance, as if the smooth lines of their bodies were all the ornamentation they needed. Of course, it was not all the ornamentation they had. The bionics–fully mechanical legs, as well as sensory implants, and reinforcement on the hands, were inlaid with what humans might consider a beautiful filigree, in something of an art-deco style. This was, of course, merely the wires of the implants, in a gold allow, designed for superior toughness, but the effect was striking nonetheless.
"Rise, Captain." the one on the right–Yelandra–said. It did not surprise the fuzer that she knew his name. The two of them had been programmed with constructed memories, designed to give them the perfect experience of command, in preparation for their designed task. the captain rose to his feet, and nodded to each of them. Commanders, if you will come this way–there is not much time.
He led them to a pair of arming racks, one of which held a strange and powerful-looking staff, held by a harness, and the other, a pair of massive pistols, as well as a belt for carrying them. Each commander went to one rack, and quickly armed herself. Needing no food or hygiene at present, the three went directly to the quarterdeck of the ship, where all the senior command staff of the fleet was waiting. As they entered, the staff, as one, sank to one knee. The Captain produced a ceremonial firearm, and handed it to the two titans, to show the formal turning over of command. As the short ceremony completed, the all present rose to their feet, and began to head back to their assignments.
The fleet's Admiral approached the two commanders, a grim look on his face. "My Queens, there is a matter of supreme urgency. The largest moon of the planet around which we now orbit has exploded, revealing inside a creature which has been observed eating the remnants of the planet, and is now swiftly headed our way. Your guidance in this perilous situation is greatly needed.

1. The commanders looked over the assembled troops as they surveyed the orderly soldiers. Each already had full info on its Army and every individual soldiers personality and activity. The thought of losing so many superior beings was disgusting to them, and with one order they sent all of the soldiers packing up. The soldiers new commanders gave them will they never had before, for as according to Fuzer law the new commanders were there lords and masters until they died. The Fuzers set up a number of Fusion/Nova bombs on the asteroids they were on, leaving them scattered and primed for detonation AFTER the evacuating Fuzer fleet left for open space in the solar system.
2. Yendara, the tallest of the commanders, ordered all PROJECT:SIMALIO birthing sacs, data, and parts moved onto the fastest transport ships, and headed ahead into empty space, while the birthing sacs continued creating the soldiers.

The Captain and all three corvettes, as well as some smaller craft, are all ambushed a short distance outside your surveillance. A large number of Water Pirate ships fell upon them from concealment in an asteroid, and fell upon the ships. Two of the corvettes were outright destroyed, and the last one was boarded and captured, along with most of her crew. Under high-level interrogation, they revealed much of the details of 1487's defensive plans, including the construction of the mech.
Emissary Sprenor arrives at Neptune without incident, and is able to procure half a dozen advanced vapor drills.

Bonus: 750 Constructors
>>1897
1. Develop the Enforcer Drone, an automated combat oriented fighter drone armed with a basic shield projector and a laser cannon. Later when we develop specific combat hubs their uses will prove highly interesting, but for now a basic AI combat programing should suffice. They will be the backbone of our air and space fighter force.
2. Develop designs for a Drone Mothership Core, a large armored vessel to allow for deep space long flight to carry our Drones and which will act as the capital ships.
For now we only need the base Core Part of the ship, which is about 600 meters wide and equipped for deep space flight and a basic contingent of drones.
The Final Design will be extremely large, about 3.5KM with numerous combat upgrades.
As always, Robert's Robotics focuses on ease of upgrade capability and striving to achieve a better design tomorrow!

"A fast rocket a reliable rocket these are the things a Plutonian can appreciate
Every rocket we send out carries hopes and dreams of the people that before

After decades of overconsumption and production, there was simply not enough left to mine. Mankind then looked outwards, to the stars. Asteroids were quite literally made of the minerals they required, and so mining camps were established throughout the solar system in the asteroid belts.
>Station 1487, referred to by its inhabitants as "Mage-Rock", is one such camp, probably one of the larger ones in this sector of the Belt. It was set up to gather a particular commodity - sodium. And the asteroid cluster it's based in has plenty of salt. It's got all the usual commodities, as well as a multinational docking base for shipments and stops by passing vessels. The guard force spends half its time as a regular police force, since it's not quite important enough to threaten attack, but the station has built up a minor community based around the mining business. What the future holds for this humble 'nation' is uncertain, but one thing is known: the members of Station 1487 will greet it with plenty of salt.

On Earth, the president of the United States has heard some bizarre news. Apparently all radio traffic from the colonists on titan has abruptly stopped, and several observers are claiming that a giant monster has "hatched" from the planet. Further, there are reports of craft not matching the designs of any known to be made in the Solar System making appearances around Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. She doesn't quite know what to make of them, and suspects a massive hoax, perpetrated by some practical joker with terrible taste. However, she orders some top men to monitor the situation, and keep her appraised of any new developments.

One of your emissaries makes a fatal faux pas, enraging the natives, who firmly denounce your claim to their lands, and call upon the Fenrir Republic for aid in resisting your encroachment. Several more moons join them, and together establish the Rodger's Coalition, after their figurehead, Estefania Rodgers. Five factory locations through your nearby sector of the Asteroid Belt are completed, although there are rumors of strange beings sighted nearby, and of a haunted mining location, although neither of these are confirmed.
Prototypes of the Enforcer Drone are completed, although experts doubt their actual combat effectiveness. The Drone Mothership core designs are complete, and in the final calculations, it should come in under budget and exceed design specifications.
Your Brian Hub project is successfully completed, giving the drone-control systems better durability, but increasing lag time when issuing specific orders. For routine operations, this is an insignificant problem, as the drones have a high degree of autonomy, but in a crisis, this could be a serious flaw.

The improvised missile flies true, and heads straight for the creature's tremendous maw. However, at the last second before it flies down the gullet, the creature twists, and the missile collides with one of the prongs of the beak, snapping it in two.

1. Develop Scanner Drones specifically for the purpose of locating stealthed or strange phenomenon on any electromagnetic scale. While indivually they are moderately effective if a particular area requires thourough investigation they can use the Brain Hub to coordinate a mass scanning ping to provide a highly thorough investigation.
2. And to test these out, let's investigate just what is going on in the Ateroid Belt. Haunted? Maybe. An anomaly? More than likely.

By combining machine and flesh they managed to fight off the aliens, but not before being filled with hatred and anger towards other races. Upon reaching the space stage they wiped out their aggresors and a number of other alien species, and now their latest target is the human race. All Fuzers are a mix of specifically created genetic material and robotics, making it so the race is extremely diverse as each soldier is different yet focused on their goals.

1. For far too long the people of Bob's mission have rested! Had years gone by with them idly waiting?! No! This could not be! What an incredible sin such a waste of time! And space that was, with these excellent Life Support systems what they could really use was an upgrade in terms of population. More people to construct machinery. More people to take part in the reservist program. With such a visionary leader certainly they would welcome the three child policy. Of course this would not mean that everyone was required to have three children, but there would be some nice tax bonuses for people who had three or even more children.
2. Talking about protection. Having already constructed cost efficient anti-ship guns it was now time to protect the Mission and especially the civilian population from any outside attacks. Shields were required that would be able to intercept any kinetic or energetic attacks on the mission. Certainly Bob would be able to make up some efficient as possible blueprints that would employ local resources.

More troubling news form the outer planets: A massive battle appears to be in progress around Saturn, with an enormous alien armada having appeared as if from nowhere to fight the equally mysterious monster which had recently appeared form the remains of Titan. Further, there are increasing reports of alien lifeforms in orbit around Uranus and Neptune, but it is unclear if these are the same as those around Saturn. President Winters dispatches several exploratory vessels to these areas to attempt to make contact, and gain more information on these strangers.
Tensions are rising in the Jovian moons, with the interplanitarily-famous Robert's Robotics attempting to claim several small inhabited moons. An escort fleet is dispatched to a U.S. outpost on a minor moon to act as a deterrent to more aggressive actions.

Through a series of mishaps, blind spots, and one disgruntled engineer who was promised a vacation before the project was started, your drones are now ready, and are able to sense several varieties of test objects which they were told would be there. It is unknown how they would fare on objects previously unknown to them. These new bots are sent out to scan the area of the asteroid belt where the objects were sighted. They return nothing of note–just some space rocks and old debris, before half of them go missing.

The first missile flies true, but the beast reacts quickly, reaching out with several of its massive tentacles, and engulfs the missile. The tremendous explosion tears the tentacles apart. The shattered flesh flies outward, knocking the second missile off course, and into the splinter fleet attempting to flee the area, destroying all but a handful of small peripheral ships. The final missile, however, strikes the beast in its eye, embedding itself deep in the flesh, and ripping out a chunk of meat miles wide. Still however, the beast is not dead. With a rage unparalleled by the experiences of any sentient in the known universe, the monster lurches forward, and swings one damaged tentacle at the Fuzer fleet. The force of the swing disengages the end of the appendage, flinging it into the center of the formation. Many ships are able to dodge the blow, but more are not. After the battle, it is estimated that 3 million die in this instant alone.

They will need to be almost completely disassembled in order to correct the mistake.

The cultural center is a success, with design elements in mind to contain the gooies even without collars. However, attempts to teach them of your ways fails, as they seem to be only interested in communications of a physical nature.

Further, contact is made by several vessels of various human factions.

1. Space Invaders/10? My god! Who would have thoughts such craftsmanship still existed! Either way it is not time to break into celebrations just yet, because apparently Bob's Mission has run out of money. But luckily spacepolitics were already coming to his aid. Two alien armada's fighting not far? Certainly he could hit up the government for some monetary support, a shield system was after all a sensible investment in such a case.
Should however it turn out ot be that Bob's Mission is free of any government to ask for monetary support Bob will have to invent an incredibly awesome little souvenir and advertise Saturn as *the* holiday location. After all it was incredibly kid friendly and they had the best living conditions seen since the high time of earth.
2. After some attempt to resolve the money issue had been undertaken it was time for Bob's Mission to lead the Reservists into a new phase of training. Of course every available man and woman was trained to fight, however with such an imminent threat on the doorstep additional excercises were required. They would have to be brought up to speed on military tactics, already become pre-designed units able to operate seperatly should command be hit. This was their home and if they were to be challenged they would fight to the death for it.

The construction of the plant goes poorly, and results in a large chemical spill, displacing thousands of nearby citizens. However, you manage to find the disgruntled engineer, and fire him for his incompetence. His replacement is scared by the consequences for failure, and works around the clock for weeks to develop a new scanner based on some obscure and semi-forgotten scientific literature. The sensor has the capability to resolve, down to a centimeter level, the surrounding area out to nine km., regardless of obstacles. Your updated scanner drones find what is identified as the old Braunhurst mine, which was abandoned after colossal equipment malfunctions. However, it is now a hive of activity, all seemingly automated, as if the mining automatons have begun conducting operations of their own free will.

Diagnostics come up clean on every test, showing that there is no problem with the machine. Before the term is up, it does provide two curious figures from near the endpoint, but with no explanatory figures: first, that the total human population of the system is zero, and that there are only three major bodies orbiting the Sun: Mercury, Jupiter, and an unknown body of high mass and low volume in a highly elliptical and steeply-inclined orbit.

Good fortune, at last! Your lone corvette sallies forth, and, like a rapier in the hand of a skilled swordsman, your lone ship fights off half a dozen pirate boats, before advancing upon their base and deploying the mech. In a few short hours of work, the pirates are scattered, and your crew heads home. Certainly there will be other pirates, but for now, your little moon is safe.

You absorb 100,000 goo girls, who are hired on for various manual labor, and personal functions. The humans have a couple of volumes on economics on board, and your leadership begins studying a few volumes by Smith, Mises and Hayek.

You fill an entire major crater with a brand-new factory, which just about doubles your manufacturing capacity.

Aha! Sentience. So it is confirmed.
This is a dangerous situation to approach. On the one, applying force is difficult and possibly unwanted. An Artificial intelligence given life is often as efficient in repair and defense as any, and capable of responding.
On the other, there's no way to garauntee any form of negotation or diplomacy with such rogue machines as genuine. You can hardly trust men when they say the truth, and when a machine learns to lie like a man. . .
This is a hard situation to approach, indeed.
1-2. I want a mass security upgrade to all our drones immediately, all of them. Anti-hacking protocols, as WELL as counter hacking protocols where one drone can eliminate any malware in another, or groups can effectively cleanse and "cut off" an offending drone.
We'll focus on a "Trickle Down" anti-malware. The Brain Hub will provide the huge bulwark of anti-hacking defenses, and through a heirarchal system it sends this defense to drone command vessels which in turn send it dowarn to groups, and then individual drones. So in this way, a few drones being hacked will be dealt with by the mass. Like a human immune system to cancer.

Our infantry forces are small but have stout hearts and a great sense of duty the ice bunker systems used in previous Water Bandit raids were good but not good enough as far as I am concerned. A spiritual people Plutonians believe that in the end everything will work out alright tempered by the knowledge that in the vastness of space things can and will happen.
1 Beneath the Ice begin construction of a Fortress and bunker system with its own power plant that can make use of under-Ice chokepoints and fortress defenses to be able to defend against massive invasions and bombardment. It should be able to safely hold the entire population of Pluto's supplies and logistic equipment, become the headquarters of military operations and the site of future military research and development.
2 Start training the soldiers in evacuation procedure to protect the people to reach designated locations

1. The government of Venus needn't worry! These constructions are solely for the purpose of protecting Bob's Mission against the potential attacks from those fearsome aliens they have heard so much about. Though Bob's Mission would certainly pay well to obtain some of those alien materials. They do not want to form a group of extremely high trained military human-alien hybrid children which will be raised as Bob's children and fulfill incredibly awesome adventerous and exciting secretive missions guns blazing and stealth alike to some super climactic finale where they fight some sort of evil endboss. So no need to be worried.
2. The Resonance rifles were awesome on their own, combined with shields and awesome armor even better, however a certain amount of anti air, anti-underground anti-ship weapons would still be required. Of course Venus would not be happy about this, but after all a military required preparation for everything and it was all just for the protection of the children.

It seems as if there are now two alien fleets in orbit around Neptune, one being the amorous Swaeriash, and the other being the brave spacers who destroyed the Titan in toe-to-toe combat. President Winters decides that if there is a critical moment in the history of the human race, this will be it. First contact with not one, but two races! He sends off an order for Captain Humboldt to make contact with the second alien race, and to ask both races to remain in orbit around Neptune until he an reach them for proper diplomatic negotiations.

As it so happens, a ship captained by a man with strong sympathies towards Bob's Mission happens to be in the vicinity of Neptune right at this moment. Burgess (for that is the man's name) diverts from his course, and makes contact with the Shepard and the Swaeriash vessel. However, at this time, Captain Humboldt advises him to either remain in orbit with them, or to depart, as relations are not yet firm enough to discuss the exchange of genetic material–that is, beyond the material already exchanged in the initial meetings. Back on Venus, engineers develop a cluster-missile warhead for the anti-ship missiles already emplaced around the Bob's campus. These smaller missiles have greater precision and maneuverability, allowing for sub-atmospheric interceptions.

Respond to the hailing ships, but keep them at distance in case of orbital combat. Tell them that we are of the Fuzer Empire, and they are to identify themselves now.
As for the simalio units, make sure over 1 million are produced. 500,000 from the main group and 500,000 from the spore in the oort cloud. A Simalio soldier is equipped with a built in wristmounted hevalo gun(plasma and slug gun with high rate of fire)and a wristmounted beam sword or shield
(Now for actual actions)
1. Begin PROJECT:DENTRIVIAN. They are to be the heavy soldiers and act as a compliment to Simalio troops. They specialize in forward assault and sustained warfare. Over 1 million are needed.(First pic, and they use tower shields and laser swords)
2. A unit specialized for space warfare is needed. Unlike Simalio and Dentrivian soldiers, these will only be deployes into space, and must have the required heavy weapons and armor. Create one million.(Basically the power of fighters in the size of a Fuzer. They solely use heavy weaponry like Vision heavy guns and Hopheri Cannons)

1. Sadly the alien genetics program did not work out thanks to a lack of.. well alien genetics. But Bob was certain there were more things he could do. Biological ways to enhance his soldiers, but even more importantly, the general population. A considerable increase in life span, mental capacity and regenerative abilities would certainly serve the people of Bob's Mission well. Potentially he would have to think about adding a combat reflex which would drastically increase physical abilities including reflexes in high pressure situations, however he needed to ensure first that these would only take effect in high pressure situations in order to prevent stressful situations in everyday life.
2. A lot of combat systems these days required targetting, Bob would work on something that could ensure the people of Bob's Mission to never become targetted by hostile, or own, combat systems. This was largely important for the civilians as should combat occur in Bob's Mission it was important that they would not become targets of hostile attacks. Preventing Combat Units from being targetted was only a secondary objective.

The Infamous Conference of Neptune
Spirits are high on this auspicious day. Three species, multiple governments and entities, all meeting together to begin negotiations for interpsecies contact. Nothing like it has ever happened before in human history, and nothing like it will ever happen again. Two human ships stand by around a small moonlet, on which one alien race has constructed a base for hosting diplomatic negotiations, while a third has just circularized orbit high overhead. Two massive vessels of the other alien race are also in high orbit, but they do not appear to be hostile. The U.S.S. Constitution, and the F.L.S.S. Brass Cannon, carrying the president of the United States and the president of Free Luna, are only a few hours away, after which the meeting ceremony can begin. The Swaeriash, not to be outdone by the capital ships of the other two parties, has constructed a titanic flagship to represent their small fleet. It shines magnificently in the light reflected off the surface of Neptune, and cruises into orbit a few degrees prograde from the diplomatic center. After the initial meetings between Swaeriash and human, there is much anticipation of further contact, and much curiosity over who the other newcomers are.
But suddenly, disaster strikes. The Sweariash flagship, although quite beautiful visually, was hastily constructed, and much of its internal systems are retrofitted systems from the smaller ship used as its core. As such, they strain under the far higher load imposed on them by the larger vessel, and, as the ship attempts to synchronize its orbit with the moon, the main reactors give way with a tremendous explosion. Fragments smash into the cultural center, destroying it, and the two human ships. The Fuzer ships, in their higher orbit, begin burning for escape, but a high-velocity fragment catches one of the ships up the tailpipe, collapsing the propulsion singularity, and the ship around it–catching the second ship in the wash, destroying it too. Burgess's ship is hit by a fragment, and is destroyed, but the crew manages to reach the escape pods.
The death toll is staggering, reaching to the tens of thousands. No one has any idea what is going on, other than that a terrible disaster has occurred–who is responsible, and the magnitude of the catastrophe–are unknown. President Winters has the flotilla diverted to the U.S. base in orbit over Jupiter. The entire U.S. space fleet is summoned, and requests for help are sent out to all the states and nations of the solar system. Only one thing, in the end, is clear: humanity is at war.

While project Rohr seems initially successful, the dozen or so initial units produced fall victim to unforeseen flaws in their genetics, and only a batch of monsters is produced. Some die from their defects, while others live for a while in agony, until put out of their misery by the scientists.
More successful is the effort to reduce enemy targeting capacity–a strange sort of phenomenon is found whereby if something is seen, but is found to be too strange, troublesome, or not important, the brain simply "edits it out". This effect can be exacerbated by a type of force screen, which, when deployed, causes casual observers to consider anything covered by the field to be "somebody else's problem", and ignore it. While it doesn't reduce the effects of targeting per se, and it can't divert a mechanically-guided missile, it can keep people, vessels and emplacements from being detected by biological brains, and that might just be enough.

Rondoon seems to have gotten his feet firmly under him–not an easy task in the low gravity–and within the term, a crop of buckwheat and potatoes is growing, and is calculated to add a significant supplement to the diets of the stationeers.
Your corvette sets out well enough, but far from home, and without the urgency that was instrumental in the success of the earlier sortie, the corvette is turned back after a battle with three pirate vessels. While it distinguished itself admirably, and took down two of them and drove the other off, the life support systems were hit, and they were unable to continue.

A squadron of smaller mechs meet up with a Robert's Corporation research vessel, and escort it to within range of the robot base.
A small ship is fitted out with the warp drive, and is sent on its maiden voyage, scheduled to take it out of the Solar System and back. However, when the drive is activated, the ship simply disappears. No readings give any indication of its position, and no signals are detected originating from it. Then, just as the term is ending, a merchant discovers it just inside the orbit of Murcury. Silent and cold, the merchants ope it to find a terrifying sight: long-dried blood and other bodily fluids caking the walls, signs of brutal violence around the ship, and the words "LIBERATE TUTEMET EX INFERNIS" written, apparently in brain matter, on a bulkhead. No bodies, however, can be found, anywhere in the ship.

1. Thats it, with such a massive loss of personnel, data, and ships, the Fuzer fleet changes plans. The main fleet heads to a DIFFERENT AREA of the Oort cloud thats is NOT near the spore fleet. There they begin gathering more minerals and materials for the creation of more weapons. Also send a group of 500,000 simalio soldiers to the spore group.
2. Finish both projects, NOW!!!!

Interesting news, very interesting.
1 Launch the fleet and some probes out of the ETL posthaste to investigate Neptune and the surrounding space. It may be necessary to Occupy Neptune against these 'Alien Invaders'
2 War is out boys, grab your gun and lock up the wife and children. Purchase the services of some Kuiper Belt explorers and pioneers to act as scouts and listeners for finding alien signals with their heavily customized ships in the upcoming war it would be prudent to have some military intelligence. Hopefully they work for water, molybdenum parts and maintenance.

After repairs on the corvette (which you should really name, btw) and some very long nights in the space drydocks, your fleet is augmented by five "Hillux-class" ships, converted packet boats with light shields and weapons. Not battlewagons by any means, but they're a significant addition to your small fleet. Will it be enough? From the skill and resolve shown by your crews, it just might be, but who knows how many more pirates wait among the icy rocks?
>>2731
You set off at an angle, passing though the Kuiper belt, on your way. The fleet detects pings from several asteroids, but ignores them in their haste. You dispatch the transports for the simalo troops, which should arrive in one turn. As for the projects, the need for rapid movement causes them to be delayed, and they are projected to be finished in two turns.
>>2732
You dispatch a contingent of ships to Neptune as a vanguard against any alien ships in the area. Opposite you are a few ships of a strange design, most definitely alien. Out on the frontier, you are able to drum up a decent amount of support, and soon you have a large, albeit patchy, cordon through the inside of the Kuiper belt, which occasionally relays information to you on suspicious activity in the belt.
>>2766
You hollow out a new asteroid with all your extramens, and construct a double shipyard, ready to begin production of ships up to the destroyer range of size. (what do you mean by "forms"? I assume robots have no need for bureaucracy.)
Your drones reach the target location, and adjust their orbits to match the object's projected orbit. As expected, there is nothing detectable in the area.
>>2780
You are able to convert several transports into three corvettes and one heavy cruiser, and take them all into orbit around Neptune, to find the blasted remains of the fleets that were parked around it. Opposite you is a flotilla of human ships, looking somewhat ramshackle, but in fighting condition.

Admiral Kurk looks over the ruins of what must have been many ships "Such a…Titanic battle if only we had a better understanding of what these 'Alien Invaders' were capable of"
He knows that reinforcements from Earth will be here eventually which will mean less losses for the Plutonian Fleet or a chance to change the tide and overwhelm the alien fleet.
12 Admiral Kurk organizes the assault step by step. The light cruiser, five corvettes, Forty-nine Plutonian Bombers and six TTCCs will approach the alien fleet. Then out of the debris cloud will come the ten torpedo boats and ten bombers to flank and engage their support craft. At this point the corvettes and bombers will move to destroy their corvettes and provide cover so that we can use the TTCCs to deploy 300 AGs, supporting soldiers and reservists to board those three light cruisers to prioritize securing the propulsion and weapons systems and then clearing out the rest of the ships. Our light cruiser will engage their heavy cruiser rather then allow it freedom to interfere with our fighters and boarding.

President Winters stood on the deck of the U.S.S. Constitution, his elegant skirt suit and stockings exchanged for a functional pressure suit–one without any formal military markings, other than a thin gold band around the wrist and neck seals, to indicate his office. Below him roiled the storms of Jupiter, as his ship, and now dozens like it, prepared for the war that would drive these invaders from the warm golden light of his home star. Already, the vacuum-capable militarycraft of a dozen Earth nations had assembled around the largest of the gas giants, in preparation for jumping off for the cold outer reaches of the system. Of course, what went unsaid was that the craft were, without exception, bought and paid for with U.S. Tax dollars, and so it would be near-unthinkable that the space navies of the planet would refuse such a call to arms. Less certain would be the fleets of the other Solar entities–the Ostensible Government of Venus, Bob's Mission, the Martian Coalition, the Fenrir Republic, and many more besides. Few of these could be considered in anyone's pocket, let alone a relic of an earlier, two-dimensional age.
The aid of those extra-terrestrial factions could mean the difference between glory and annihilation for this…this, what was it? Not an expedition, no, that sounded like a few thousand men in khakis. Not a war, no…a crusade. Mankind's First Crusade, and here he was, at the crux of it all.

After much rigourous reserch, your scientific teams determine, to within six sigmas, that the only way to construct a functioning Geller Field will be with the assistance of famed magician Uri Geller. One minor niggling obstacle prevents this though: no one has seen him since a brilliant magic trick conducted in 1998, when he dissapeared from a scaffold with a large bear underneath. No one had been able to figure out where he had gone, and the only possible conclusion was that he had, in fact, completely dematerialized.
Meanwhile, a defense grid is placed around the Galilean Moons, using Ambrose Armerments' Mk. V anti-ship missiles.

That is, until the engine of the thing stalls a few hundred meters off the Artsudenov platform. Hm, might have to recalibrate the falcighol derivation modules. Best that happened before you got out there, right? And, on the bright side, the salt production is keeping pace, in spite of everything else. Good job, Magerocks, keep holding that fucking line!

The attack is a nearly flawless success. The combination of Kurk's leadurship, the skill of the crews, and the unpreparedness of the Sweariash, take together result in the complete destruction of their combat fleet, with only the loss of one plutonium bomber. Other vessels are injured, with two TTCC's and one corvette needing to return immidiately home for repairs, but aside from that, it will go down in history books as the first great military victory for the people of Pluto.

Further research on the computer extrapolation of the future yields strange reults: at one point, the sun disappears, while at another, all the mass in the solar system appears in the form of an accreation disk, before re-coalescing into its present form.

The orbital shipyards will take a bit more time, aproximately two more terms, if calculations are correct. Futher, it will take quite a bit of resources as well, and calculations will need to be done for the gravimetric flux for Jupiter and her moons each turn (i.e. reroll each turn)

An interesting fact about the Fuzers is that, through a strange quirk of the cosmic dice, their planet had no fissionable materials in its crust–no Uranium, Plutonium, or even Thorium, and so, advanced as their technology was, they had no direct experience with these substances, and thus, no caution when handling them.
So, it came about that as the Fuzer fleet was engaging in refining operations, processing minerals gathered from the rocks of the Oort Cloud, the two commanders of what remained of the fleet, Yendala and Yendara, met aboard the flagship to confer on the enxt steps to take against the human, if the so-far disasterous campaign was to be continued at all. Among the ships involved in the mining, the greatest of them was not excluded, although its role was in the processing of the elements collected by smaller ships. A vein of a strange substance was found on one asteroid, which seemed to emit various sorts of radiation. It was determined that, while there was no present call for such a substance, it would likely be usable in the future, and was sorted by isotope, and placed in a compression-field storage container. I guess you could say that this was a *puts on sunglasses* critical mistake.
The resulting blast ordinarily would not have destroyed the ship, what with the internal force-fields serving to isolate the compartments, and allowing any spontaneously-combusting musnitions to "cook off", and vent into space without causing much damage. However, every action has an opposite and equal reaction, and this tremendous blast, coming from a confined space as it did, was enough to propel the ship sideways–and right into one of the other flagships. The second ship attempted to spool up its engines to escape, but not only was it not fast enough, but the notoriously vulnerable Fuzer engines were even more so when being started cold.
The blast annihilated both ships (these are capital ships, leaving you with one left in this fleet), and destroyed eight support ships.
The fleet was momentarily psychically stunned. They all shared a mind, on a certain level, their thoughts linked by the network of implants in them, and the destruction of the leaders, so suddenly, was enough to permenantly harm the circutry of them all.
Further, the Fuzers, typically democratic before the elevation of a wartime leader, begin making up their own minds as to the course of this endevor, some attempting to return to more central Fuzer bases, and others choosing to bring the fight to the humans as raiding bands. (practical effect: roll 2d25 every turn to determine the percentage of deserters from your main fleet and spore fleet every turn.)

The shipyards go fairly well this turn, boosted by the output of the new factories. The ring is starting to take shape, as well as the power collectors, and the brain hub node on it. The Gravioli Stabil-o-Tron, however, isn't in such good shape. Fortunately for you, the engineers pick up the errors in the program before it can be implimented, and you save yourself any major embarrasments.

Try as they might, your top minds can't figure out what could shield the crews of warp-capable ships from whatever arcane influences preside beyond this plane of existence. The only clues they can find are some references in the missing illusionist's notes, and those are woefully incomplete. It seems that the only way you'll be able to crack FTL travel this way will to find the man himself.
You start drilling operations on several of the moons, but your miners are driven off by locals. "First those corperate basterds, now you!?! We asked for your protection, and ceed our political sovereignty, and what do we get? A bunch of government goons trying to steal our land right out from under us!" Estefanni Rogers takes up the rallying cry of freedom once more, and you suddenly have a revolt of the settlers on the moons who recently joined, as well as several other minor moons who are enraged by your policies of eminent domain.

The Sweariash had one ship hidden on the planet, a surveyor craft, which boldly surfaced above the dense cloud layer, and fired a missile out into the void. The torpedo boat assigned to scan the planet was caught unaware, and destroyed in a direct hit. Only slightly less discouraging was the fact that, while most of Burgess's crew was recovered, none had any information of value regarding the aliens, other than the fact that they appeared peaceful, and the crew of the Shepard had seemed quite pleased with their early encounters.

You secret your remining craft to the surface of Neptune, and burrow several hangers in the surface, so that, even if humans were to somehow penetrate the chaoitic storms of the atmosphere, they would not be able to gain a visual lock on the ships. As a further precaution, faraday cages are built into the hangers, and active signal dampeners are installed around the bases.

Upon reaching the space stage they wiped out their aggresors and a number of other alien species, and now their latest target is the human race.

The poor crew of the ship must have gotten space cabin fever and dont understand that we are at war with the foul xeno that harbors on storm-torn Neptune.

For a planet named for the God of War, those Martians certainly are in no mood for a fight. The UMC politely declined to help protect the system. I guess they think they'll weather this one out on their own. Hmmph, we'll see how they like weathering out economic sanctions on their own. Venus was little better, sending only an escort fleet–three light carriers, protected by five destroyers and support. Pathetic, but it was something.

The provisional fleet commander, in desperation, calls for reinforcements, in order to somehow salvage this disaster. A mocking reply comes back, insinuating the rediculousness of the request–that such a group of useless failures should be given a second chance was unthinkable. No, no battlestation would be risked for this expedition.
Desertion is heavy in the main fleet, with over half leaving, in approximately even proportions of ground forces and support ships. The siuaiton is only slightly better in the spore fleet, perhaps because of the loyalty of the parents to their newly-born, and as yet unborn prodgeny.

One word to describe their story would be tragic but Pluto would welcome them with their mech warrior traditions and assorted mech sciences which could be put to use to upgrade our own AGs.
1 Pull back the fleet and these refugees back to Pluto through an indirect path so the aliens and hopefully this 'Celestial Beast' cant follow any particle trail that might be left behind going through the Kuiper Belt where the particles will be quicker to disperse. Should they possess technology to follow even the most dispersed trail then at the least our satellites should detect their approach.

By combining machine and flesh they managed to fight off the aliens, but not before being filled with hatred and anger towards other races. Upon reaching the space stage they wiped out their aggresors and a number of other alien species, and now their latest target is the human race. All Fuzers are a mix of specifically created genetic material and robotics, making it so the race is extremely diverse as each soldier is different yet focused on their goals.

(I'm sorry but I can only give you a pass once)
The combat units are given greater autonomy, in order to be more flexible and creative in combat. Unfortunately for you, their newfound independence means that they come to the conclusion that you are, in fact, the threat, and must be destroyed. They begin by blowing up the factory that created them, and then proceed to the shipyards, before you can mount any sort of response.
>>3430
(the monster was killed a few turns back btw)
Your fleet makes it safely back to their homeworld, but the reports have been confirmed–there is a massive alien fleet out past the fringes of the Kuiper belt, seeming to be building up for an attack. One of your strategists, a man named Even Jelli, is able to gain some valuable information from the Knights of Titan, regarding the use of Aluminum Guy mechs in ship-to-ship combat.

>Faction Fluff: The S.P.U.D. (Stellar Prerogative for Underground Drilling) Initiative was begun back in 2003 in response to waning mineral resources back on Earth and the Lunar colonies. After decades of overconsumption and production, there was simply not enough left to mine. Mankind then looked outwards, to the stars. Asteroids were quite literally made of the minerals they required, and so mining camps were established throughout the solar system in the asteroid belts.
>Station 1487, referred to by its inhabitants as "Mage-Rock", is one such camp, probably one of the larger ones in this sector of the Belt. It was set up to gather a particular commodity - sodium. And the asteroid cluster it's based in has plenty of salt. It's got all the usual commodities, as well as a multinational docking base for shipments and stops by passing vessels. The guard force spends half its time as a regular police force, since it's not quite important enough to threaten attack, but the station has built up a minor community based around the mining business. What the future holds for this humble 'nation' is uncertain, but one thing is known: the members of Station 1487 will greet it with plenty of salt.

Such a high tech facility couldn't be left to fend for itself against Space Water Bandits and God knows what lies beyond the Solar system so the military facility includes mostly computers to control fighters and surface-to-orbit missiles launched via the ETL. If a large craft were to threaten it with bombardment it would risk the precious facilities so there was no need for large craft to be stationed there other then the original colony craft.

What a nightmare, Rocketry General Allen Fibbster was a man who appreciated the laughter of his friends and family produced by jokes or the amazing rocket based engineering feats. This morning granted by the grace of human ingenuity was marred by the lasting image of the most disgusting xeno-faggot race that could ever be made him question the goodness of God's plan for the universe. The mornings on a planet with low gravity always started the same; with rigorous exercise and a hearty Plutonian breakfast served by his family.
The words he had come to expect and enjoy as a family man sounded more like platitudes and the breakfast turned to space dust in his mouth. The exercise hall was filled with the sound of primal screams and hundreds of pounds of metal being picked up and put down with more fury then any man should have any right to bear for someone that lives in the glorious frontier of humanity.
He remade his private office adjourning his workshop into an Altar; a giant slab of Ice carved with scenes from Kurk's Triumph with a rocket on top where he offered his prayers to absolutely destroy any xeno devils before devoting all his energy to The Plutonian War Effort and one day a weapon that could cleanse not only Neptune of filthy alien life but any planet threatened with contamination. You could see the dream of Alien Extermination as a glint in his eye.

While your military might isn't the greatest, your efforts certainly are both spirited and thorough. Not a single bullet or bean is left unattended to, and soon, your diminutive fleet, backed by the best of your armed forces, and their mechatronic support, are underway. As you head out towards the reported location of the alien fleet, your begin sensing a mass of ships on your six. An ambush? Battle stations, everyone, this is it! But, wait, those ships look familiar! Is that…? It's the Constitution! The Americans are here!

For such a small colony, so recently relegated to the margins not only of the astronomical charts, but to public consciousness in general, the engineering and military feats conducted over the past year were almost unimaginable, and yet, here stood Pluto, with an army and void fleet that would be the envy of many nations on Earth, and one of the grandest ships in the entire system under construction at the lagrangian point with Charon–and to think, some even were calling for Pluto's demotion to the status of "Planetoid"! Oh, with the ship done next term, then the cleansing of the system can commence!

Such a high tech facility couldn't be left to fend for itself against Space Water Bandits and God knows what lies beyond the Solar system so the military facility includes mostly computers to control fighters and surface-to-orbit missiles launched via the ETL. If a large craft were to threaten it with bombardment it would risk the precious facilities so there was no need for large craft to be stationed there other then the original colony craft. Sometimes exploration craft come in on their way out of the system and stop at the bar it serves ice water.

"Your contribution to the Plutonian War Effort has arrived somewhat late, yet we will honor our word and provide you with Molybdenum.
So there is no misunderstanding our leader's expect your next contribution- technological or not- within two terms.
We understand you have some pull in certain circles, as you may know the Government of Mars fabled sons of the God of War have made no move to aid against the alien menace. Unacceptable. We don't care what their inconveniences may be so much as they get past them and contribute to this war but don't let that stop you from providing us with a full report.
We suggest you get started early as if you are not able to convince Mars to action the Venusian Government has also be slacking lately. Dragging their feet to provide the void ship levies required of them. Your reputation as a 'Political Clout' is not for nothing we hope.

Your core makes its maiden voyage to the edge of the solar system, filled with brand-new sensor bots. Thanks to favorable solar winds and planetary tides, it arrives on time, with no incidents to mar the log.
Back on Mars, researchers are working out how to combat the problem of the unstable gravitational forces acting on the station, and come across a strange, but plausible solution: apparently, a few decades back, a man by the name of Geller had proposed a method of negation of gravitational effects before his mysterious disappearance. His notes, however, are woefully incomplete, and yield little in the way of a practical solution.
>>3859
The combat models' response indicates that they view your communications with humans who use robots for forced labor as counter-revolutionary, and, in the spirit of the origins of this great project, have decided to liquidate you in order to start again. Their communiqué also indicates that they can multi-task: being able to send messages and destroy your shipyards at the same time.
>>3868
For the launching ceremony, you launch a whole barrel of champagne at the prow of the new ship. It explodes brilliantly, and there is much applause.
>>3871
The new ships aren't the shiniest, or your race's most brilliant feats of engineering, but they fly, and the torpedo tubes open at both ends, and not at the same time, and that's good enough for the old salts in your fleet.
>>3885
>>4053
After a conference with the other fleet leaders, a battle plan is worked out. Your detachment will move from asteroid to asteroid, keeping hidden from the aliens, until you are on their opposite side. The larger ships of the inner planets will attack en masse, scattering the unprepared aliens, and allowing your ships to run down survivors.
Of course, rarely do plans unfold in reality exactly as they do in the tactical simulation. The xenos ships detected the human craft far before it was thought they would be able to, and moved to engage, catching your allies off guard. You were too far away to move to support, but you were able to blast apart a couple of fleeing ships, and even board and capture one, albeit with much loss of life. At the end of the day, the field was yours, at a high cost, yes, but the war has only just begun.

Once again, the astronomical intellect of Bob triumphs over the supposed limitations of the physical world. It seems that elemental hydrogen and helium, readily available in interstellar space, can be fused together to form just about any element needed. Certainly, it takes time to collect the gases, and energy to fuze them, but nonetheless, it's as close to getting something from nothing as mankind has ever come.

1: Setup a Few Communication nodes around the system that block or amplify frequencies. It should Cut off any Communication in the system Or aid in sending communications If needed.
(Nodes should be in space.)
2. Message To surrounding moons using the Communication nodes to aid in broadcasting if possible at the time.
"The Republic gave you shelter In your hour of need. Now you seek to destroy us. The first Fenririan you harm will be your last. We could take your homes If we wished, but instead, we simply wish to Harness some minerals to Increase the Republics (the Very Republic which you claimed to belong to) Defense against These Eldrich Horrors and Xenos. This is your last warning, Those who do see not see themselves as part of the Republic; Submit or flee, for you Do not march to war But slaughter."

After the losses taken, the Earth and Venus fleets decide to make port around Pluto for refitting and rearmament. This would be a good opportunity to try and purchase more ships, or at least better weaponry for the ones you have, before you set out to finish off the invaders once and for all.
>>4087
The combat droids seem to ahve tired of your conversation quickly, and have begun to position for an assault on your main computing facility.
>>4110
Engineers lie sprawled around the office, on drafting tables, at their desks, on the floor of the break room, clawing fingers outstretched to the overworked coffee maker like wanderers in the desert, dying of thirst, reaching futilely at a mirage. At least, that's how you find these sleep-deprived eggheads. After sending them home for a good night's sleep, you find out that their deplorable state is due to the fact that, despite the brilliance of some of them, there just isn't a physical way to design, test, and then build several thousand machines, each with sensors, thrusters, and weapons. It couldn't be done, they hadn't a chance, there wan't a possible way. By the end of the term, they had a preliminay design which tested well enough, but produciton and launching would take another term after that.
The shipbuilding didn't fare much better. While plans for a destroyer-sized minelayer were finished by the end of the term, it was quickly apparent that current production capacity would need to be expanded for both the minelayer and the mines to be produced.
>>4176
(was this meant to be in english)
An hanger large enough to accomodate your fleet, and enable production of more ships on Uranus would take at least ten more rolls, and on Neptune, the limited manpower and almost complete lack of resources means that any sort of manufacturing facilities would be impossible in the near future.
>>4198
Your engineers inform you that your orbital velocity and the local interplanetary medium mean that any material production facilities in orbit around venus would take almost a century to produce an equivalent mass required for their own production. Nonetheless, schematics for several stations are drawn up.
>>4286
Same song, second verse, rare earth metal alloy version, a little bit worse. Yes, the new materials mean that you get a lighter frame, which means it can be more easily stabilized by gyroscopes, however, it also meant that halfway through the installation, one portion of the structure became significantly heavier, and the perisstant purterbations threw it into another spin, halting construction until it could be rectified.
There really isn't anything to move forward with, it's as if he keeps referncing the peripheral elements of an idea, but the core of the concept was only tangentally referenced in the notes–and with it, the groundbreaking physics necessary for the system to work.
>>4289
Production increases by 50% this term, but it's clear that more industrial development will be necessary for any further produciton.
The communications systems are up and functional, allowing selective boosting and jamming of frequencies in specific areas as should be needed.
"You gave us shelter, and now are actively colluding with those who we sought shelter from! You threaten to take our homes, but you attempted to drill out the ground from under our feet as a matter of course! What think you we have left but that?!? We would have paid your taxes, fought in your wars, and voted for your politicians, but you would rather despoil us at our darkest hour. No more.
You speak of enemies on the horizon, but we see none; the monster is dead, and the aliens have been driven away by a republic of a higher caliber than yours. It is clear now what you are; no bastion of freedom in the heavens, but merely a cesspool of despotism and slavery. No, it is not us who has committed the fatal mistake, but you–for when you take away all a man has, you give borth to the deadliest monster ever seen. You wanted our homes? Take them, and with all expidency!"
With that, they propelled several miles-long asteroids towards Ganymede, on complex trajectories, utilizing the gravitational slingshots of other moons. (roll is for this)

1/2 - The more weapons we have in this fight, the better, as it's said. We went unprepared and hasty before, and many were lost as a result. Not this time. We'll stock up on ammo, and then catch the trail of the rest of the fleet.

You're not on IRC much, so I don't know if you have any issues with this, but just to clear things up, I've been interpreting your recent actions as "send this message", and I've been roleplaying accordingly. If you want to get them to peacefully submit, you could make your action "use strongarm negotiating tactics to persuade them to give up the fight" or some such, and, if your roll is good enough, that could end the fight.
If you don't want to do that, their position is basically this: "our moons are too small to mine, and even minor drilling operations would vastly decrease what little gravity and space there is on them. We'll pay taxes, but you can't have our land".
As for your suits, could you remind me what scale they're on? The numbers would be different if they're closer to Iron Man suits, or closer to Gundams.
I hope this helps, and, as always, thanks for playing!

Just two more terms huh. Okay we can wait.
1 Presuming we don't have to make an action, let's start development of the blueprints for the Mothership Ring. This will comprise most of the structure, which will surround the ring in a protective belt and hold enourmous amounts of space for cargo, defenses, and other utilities.
I dare say just one of these things may be some of the largest ships produced yet. And all accomplished through robotic labor!
If we DO need to make actions, make this that action. Make this that action.
2. And be sure to upgrade our mines and factories to handle the increased production as well.
See if we can't convert some constructors to aid in mining operations.
1000 Constructors

Only one more term until Deep Thinker comes to us with a solution for our calculations
1. Back to the drawing board. Literally, get that Mothership Ring blueprints finished.
2. Work on new combat programming for the HUB - Enforcer interface.
Drones will be able to coordinate to creat much larger offensive and defensive capabilities than they could individually.
A group of 7 drones can get into a ring and through combining their lasers into a convex central ring, can create a much lager laser beam.
Drones should also be able to link up their shielding together to create larger, morepowerful shields through the collective sharing of their power.
It will be the Enforcer MK II series.

>Faction Name: Plutonians (Last Stop Station and Bar)
>Faction Location: Pluto
>Faction Fluff: In face of the Great System Drought that was threatening human civilization in 2000 AD; the most advanced drilling, space travel and military technology was sent to Pluto to mine for Ice which could through the miraculous invention of the ETL (Equator Tube Launcher) that covers the equator of Pluto( a device that harnesses gravity to build up tremendous kinetic energy that can launch craft and small meteorites at speeds powerful enough to break orbit) which allowed water to constantly be sent flying through space to melt in the atmosphere of and or crash into Earth until the system drought was over. Such a high tech facility couldn't be left to fend for itself against Space Water Bandits and God knows what lies beyond the Solar system so the military facility includes mostly computers to control fighters and surface-to-orbit missiles launched via the ETL. If a large craft were to threaten it with bombardment it would risk the precious facilities so there was no need for large craft to be stationed there other then the original colony craft. Sometimes exploration craft come in on their way out of the system and stop at the bar it serves ice water.

Plutonians have dreamed of expansion and have envisioned your timely arrival which has enabled us to justify military expansion, for this you have the thanks of our leaders.

(if you roll a fail on this again I'll just give it to you because u treid) This time, you use a new Draft-o-Tron, which uses a light pen on a cathode-ray plate to draft the plans. With waterproofed componenets, no mere cup of coffee will foil your plans now! Too bad that the diagrams are stored on metal tapes, which are easily erased by an electro-magnetic pulse, such as causd by a malfunctioning radio oven. Which is presicely what happened.
However, in a less disaster-prone part of the design department, a set of upgrades are plotted out for the Enforcer drones, mainly focusing on networking between the drones, and formation manuvers to increase effectiveness en mass.

It's ten capital and fifty support (destroyers and escorts) ships, or the equivalent, so you could have fifteen capital ships, or a hundred and fifty support ships, or somewhere in the middle. Can you draw up a couple of classes of mech to correspond with "battleship", "destroyer", "cruiser", etc., and give the numbers of each? I just need to know what you guys are going to be rolling for and how to write the battle out.

ratio of scores is 857/1047, which comes out to about 82%. Pluto takes 82% casualties, while Fenrir only gets 18%. Of these, 17% are kills, 33% will need to be repaired before they can fight again, and 50% can fight, but at a reduced capacity.
All numbers will be rounded to the nearest ship.
Pluto:
Flagship Cerberus: 1d4
EC: 1d1
Light cruiser: 1d3
Corvettes: 1d10, 2d1, 2 incapacitated
Torpedo Boats: 1d4, 4d1, 2 incapacitated, 2 killed
Bombers: 34d5, 77d1, 51 incapacitated, 26 killed
TTCC's: 4d5, 8d1, 5 incapacitated, 3 killed
Hogs: 1d2, 3d1, 2 incapacitated, one killed
Fenrir:
Mk. XII: 19d20, 1d16
GMRPF-G: 111d10, 12d8, 8 incapacitated, 4 killed.
Pluto, as Fenrir has won the engagement, you can either choose to make a last stand of it, or retreat to regroup. Fighting now grants 20% for a last stand bonus.

Anthony Roberts. Genius. Billionaire. Playboy. Son of the late Stark Roberts and inheritor of his corporate empire, he brought Robert's Robotics to a new zenith of technological and finanicial might.
For decades, Robert's Robotics was known as 'The Ford of Automatons'. By revolutionizing the automated process of using robots to make more robots, they brought affordable, reliable, and fully intelligent automated units to each and every american home.
Contracting for civilian and military, their many line of machines and computers permeates throughout all of American society, and much of the rest of the world at large.
And so it was decided to invest in the space frontier as well. Remember, before there was a Man on the moon, there was a Robot. Pioneering the way for settlers thanks to a lack of need for any life support, Robert's Robotics pave the way, opening up automated mining and terraforming operations.
