>Survey: Colonizable Planet

Your crew continues to survey your system's planets for other potentials. You happen to find another candidate.

>P3X0452

A Barren World, 0452 is one of the most interesting candidates for colonization. The air is rife with microbes and other single cell organisms that subsist in the atmosphere, making it biologically active, while ecologically stunted. There's a chance your colonists could kick-start the ecology by researching a solution to the missing portion of the ecological chain.

Population Capacity: 4

Agriculture Capacity:1 (With Ecology Research: 5)

Mining Capacity: 3

Planetary Development Capacity: 3

Orbital Development Capacity: 3

>Diplomacy: Native Population - Spitters

It becomes apparent after the Spitters allow the few diplomats into their tree-cities why they spat on the metal previously. They have built all of their tools, weapons, and habitats out of plant life and chitin. There's likely a strong cultural divide, even though they're of the same species. However they appear to have a strong written lanuguage, and after a few days of working with them, and trying to communicate, the elders begin working with the tech assigned to the operation on translating the language. When prompted with an image, the elder writes the word associated with the image. It's a slow process, but eventually they have an understanding between the two of them about themselves and their culture. After explaining several base concepts, such as space and worlds beyond, the Spitters, or the Arklat as they refer to themselves, seem to understand far more than they let on. Where the concept of emptiness and space would normally boggle the mind of a primitive, it almost seems like there's more to this race than meets the eye in terms of what they know. However they're more than willing to work with you in nearly any regard, even if it means working with metal.

[Critical Success - Gain: Allied Native Population, Gain 1d100 as if you had an additional 2500 population on this colony.]

>Construction: Light Shipyard

A Rider raid slams the construction site in the early twilight, scattering the construction crews and their equipment. The structure is torched to the ground however, the high-oxygen environment causing the metal to burn and melt.

[Failure, 1/2 Resources Recovered]

>>8329

>Bido: Creep Spread

The orbital creep facility seems to work in overdrive during the daytime, likely because of its young age. It cranks out material at a greater rate than expected while exposed to the sun directly.

[+1 Population Cap from Creep Spread]

[Critical Success x2]

>Minimal Operations

Your ship shuts down major systems and orbits the planet in a stable rotation. Minimal power and resources are consumed by the hibernating crew.

[No Ship Upkeep this Turn]

>>8330

>Mining: Planetary Deposits

Your crews make a massive discovery when working in tandem with the normal mining operations. A fault that opened recently gave unprecidented access to a vein of exotic metals. While the magma is slowly sealing access to the vein, it will be accessible long enough to exploit.

[Critical Success, +2 Exotic Metal per turn for 3 Turns]

>Research: Linear Magnetic Cannon Frigate - "Hex" Class

The design your crew comes up with is, to put it simply, a giant gun. The crew compartments are cramped, tiny, and may or may not have poor radiation shielding depending on the output from the reactor. Since they really don't know too much about the reactor itself, it's nothing more than conjecture.

[Failure: Requires Demurge Cyclic Self-Propagating Power Generator to Research]

>>8379

>Military Action: Board Station & Re-arm Defenses

The prospect of the several corvettes around the station has your forces in a frenzy, and it's only at the last moment when they realize they've walked into a trap. They work their way back, dropping Demurge and pulling their own fallen away. It's not till they get back to the hangar atrium that they manage to mount a defense.

[Failure]

>Construction: Deep Core Drilling Rig

Your crews manage to come up with a viable location where the stark temperature differences can be gradually shifted between, allowing for the rig casing to survive the trip below ground. By the end of it, your mines are working at full capacity.

[Success]

>Mining: Fuel

Your mining barges run into complications with the magnetic storms that are rife among gas giants. It takes a fair bit to get the situation under control, and when you do, the content of the gas isn't fuel quality.

[Failure]

>Construction: High-Automation Orbital Refinery

The crews manning the refinery are glad to see themselves out of potential danger and relegated to operating and supervising drones. The refinery takes the upgrades well, and before the end of the standard period, you're moving at full capacity.

[Success]

>>8390

>Procreate

Being told that fornication for reproductive's sake on a ship that had previously been population restricted is…. well it's a clusterfuck. Meaning there are clusters of Rawl-Kin. Fucking.

Overall it goes well, and you should see population growth over the next few standard periods.

[+100 Pop/turn for 3 Turns]

>Manufacturing: Aural Dampeners

The manufacturing grinds to a halt after the first batch nearly kills the recipients. A fault in the tooling method used to create the chip causes a successive overload that is discharged into the brain. While the recipients of the erroneous material survived, they're laid up for a few days to recover.

[Failure, 1/2 Materials Recovered]

>>8601

>Trade

Your trades execute successfully.

>Construction: Orbital Mining Facility

The asteroid that your crews build it into surprisingly enough is a candidate for mining of its own. A large portion of the material cleared out for the facility is used in its construction.

[Critical Success, +1/2 Materials Required]

>>8910

The comms crackles to life with a distorted voice, almost purely made of basso sounds. The Anti-Aural implants flare to life, and begin normalizing the sounds. It appears there's minor programming to be had, but the implant reports it as a precautionary measure.

"When you speak to us, you assume much. You assume we are a concerto of will, moving together. In reality few see eye to eye. And so we have a different priority. Within this structure is a relic of years past, that your mega-corporations discovered among the ruins of this part of space. We are here for the contents of this station, nothing more. There are those who have chosen to make our mission known to you, either among the Symphony or Demurge, I know not. But I do know that the fleet before you will destroy your forces lest you allow us to complete our mission." The voice pauses for a second before continuing. "Though know this. I will not fire upon you should you choose to allow us passage. And the coming storm before you might yet be abated, the one who will not crest until it is right upon you. The tools for us to accomplish this lie beyond the blast doors your forces defend. And those who would destroy our hope for salvation exist within your ranks."

From the Cortsi ship, the crew is dealing with a security issue. The two humans have disappeared, seemingly lost among the chaos of the repelled assault. Weapons fire is reported from the holds where they were staging their entry into the station, from behind the ground forces' lines.

>Order the fleet and combatants to stand down, and allow the corvettes to pick up their quarry.

>Engage the Enemy. (1d100)

(Note: While the second action is free to be made of your own will, I suggest you consult the others before continuing with the former.)

>>8311

"Huntress, this is the Guard, I am sure you can see the situation and so you must spread your fire and be prepared for suppression from these many ships "

>>8923

"This Station will not fall into the hands of any demurge or Symphony. I so swear it will be under the protection of Guard Company as long as we are able through blood and sweat and brothers in arms among the diamonds, consortiums and solarians that have survived the onslaught of you, The Enemy. Fall forever demurge scum."

1) There will be two consecutive actions transmitted through the communication equipment available. All forces deployed to the cache will be ordered to do a leapfrog retreat back to the hangar where they will regroup and fortify. Half of the forces curently in the hangar and half of those who regroup will be deployed to help the Defense System advance. During this, special priority will be given to the humans with attempts to rescue them being authorized.

>>8924

"Engaging in enemy interdiction." was the wooden reply from one Solarian comm officer.

>>8923

"The children of Solaria send their regards Enemy, die." Were the last words a Demurge stealth corvette head being obliterated by the Huntress's guns. (maldaris said no roll needed)

Rolled 24 (1d100)

Diamond stood on the bridge of the Sword of Conviction, she had joined the salvage mission to escape some of the monotony of managing a burgeoning colony. Only to find Demiurge once again.

Basso sound thrummed against the hard shell of her diamond-like form as the gemoid alarms blared and she used her social form to smile grimly at the crew around her who bared their own teeth back in savage grins. They too had heard the declarations of the Guard. She spoke even as her form glittered in the low light.

"Send reinforcements to those battling the Demiurge on station to get to that control room. We're going to fight. The others from the Military Wing are battling out there and are depending on us. We have to make sure we won't fail. "

She turned to a crewman. Welded to her gem were sigils indicating the Heavy Combat division. "I am authorizing the use of Mettaloids in this battle. Keep them on task and we will roll right over the Demiurge infantry."

Metalloids weren't often used for battle, most preferrred to be sedentary, only shifting shapes if they had to. However some were far more active, finding joy in the constant movement of battle and the art of war. These had to be often trained extensively and kept close watch on for they often went into berserk like fugues. However when they were trained and they were kept on task they were true terrors. Several tons of metal that could change shape on the fly, able to hold multitude of weapon systems within their bulk and even carry around power generators for laser and shield batteries.

The other gemoid grinned back at Diamond and gave a short salute. The Demiurge wouldn't know what hit them.

>Turn 21

The fight between the Demurge Corvettes and the Military Wing begins in earnest as the standard period rolls around in the rest of the galaxy. The pinwheel of Demurge ships is caught off guard by the stark declaration by the Guards, and the equally striking move by the Consortium to move into the station's weapons bays, a well designed feat of command done by pure reaction to a declaration of unyielding strength.

In Fact the Huntress is a mothballed cruiser that was retired centuries ago, made during a more savage time. Indeed the only reason that she now moves is because of how desperate the destruction of their homeland has made their race. One would think an ancient Solarian Cruiser would be shoddy and worn, but it's not. Solarians ships while hard to repair were made to last and take lots of abuse. Solarians always did hate shoddy craftsmanship.

The huntress is a Standard Warring Era Cruiser, Armed with full weapon compliment and equipped with the crown jewel of Solarian wartech.

Fluff: A strong arm of the DCS, the Eridians specialized in mechanized assaults via orbital drops. They are bipedal sophants, and this design is reflected in their war machines. Towering metal machinations that provide support for their troops and ships. Known as "Gardes" They function as both orbital and ground support units, and fill a role usually occupied by much more squat and robust vehicles. As a military society, it go without saying that the Eridian people are spartan in dress and home, rejecting the luxury and comforts of modern life and only valuing performance on the battlefield. When the enemy came, the Eridians, like many other species, tried to oppose them, their Gardes were similar to the enemies own machines, and this apperantly offended the Enemy as well, because the Eridian's world was among the first to fall, and when the Enemy razed the planet, they didn't stop there, the pushed on, cracking the planet in two. The Eridian defense fleet lied in pieces in orbit around the detritus of their former world, the lifeless bodies of billions of souls floated in cold void, a warning to other species of the horrors to come. Now all that remains of the Eridians is what few ships they had out on deployment in the far reaches of the galaxy when the Enemy arrived. The E.C.S Ferdinand was such a ship.

It's no secret that the fleet protected some of the scum of the galaxy during the retreat to the Lao Sho Cluster. The blanket pardon given by the DCS directive that started the fleet was a godsend to the otherwise deserted pirate gangs. While they're not officially listed as fleet members, these gangs have lived through hell, and are beginning to establish a hub for their forces moving forward. Trade has already picked up among the colonies in the few standard periods they've been formed, and with trade routes come piracy. FTL piracy is a careful game of intelligence and ambushes.

>Research: Improved Supply Chains

Apparently the prospect of true, optimized infrastructure has sparked the desire to grow among the dwindling Solarians. Many who previously pontificated on the matter have begun devoting long nights in the laboratory with your research teams, offering practical expertise and knowledge, much of which was only preserved through word of mouth. Industry professionals have weighed in on the designs, giving unprecedented efficiency, by some 200%. They've hit a design impasse though, and require further instruction.

>Choose One:

Optimized Supply Routing - Using advanced computational tracking software, each kilo of material is measured and tracked at each stop, ensuring minimal loss. While this is easy to set up, and provides significant bonuses, it would take a sizable portion of development capacity to run.

[2 Raw Metal, 1 Exotic Metal, -4 to Upkeep of selected resource]

Networked Meter Hubs - By providing centralized infrastructure for transporting maintenance related material, efficiency can be taken into account, especially when a unit of material may only partially used. While slightly more expensive, they have significantly less draw on infrastructure, allowing for 2 units to 1 planetary capacity.

[3 Raw Metal, 2 Exotic metal, -2 to Upkeep of selected structure, Uses 1/2 a Planetary Development Capacity]

>>8936

>Mining : Asteroids

Regolith and char is all your crews manage to find in the belt this time around.

[Failure]

>Mining: Fuel

Your scoops get muddled up with dense noble gases, preventing the lighter helium molecules from reaching the intakes.

[Failure]

>Construction: Research Center

With the rest of the sector having a difficult time constructing buildings on their planets, your crews set the bar, by completing the laboratory in record time.

[Success]

>>8937

>Construction: Research Center

A shipment of material comes in empty, as it appears a loading order was mishandled. The material was shipped to the civilian fleet, and has since disappeared. Foul play or just stupidity. Your dock-master has no idea.

[Failure, 1/2 Resources Lost]

>>8938

>Construction: Orbital Refinery

Yes, Now. So much that it seems to be heavily reinforced. A second assessment of the "popularly elected design" puts the armor plating on this station to be more effective than civilian grade, almost in line with military. While it's nothing revolutionary, it could give your fleets a point to launch from should your colonies be attacked.

[+1 to DEF for Attacking/Defending Forces on Structure]

>Construction: Deep Space Surveillance Center

It's bad enough when you have to deal with faulty equipment. But the tracking software on the survielance array was completely corrupted when it was pulled from the archives. While it's possible to reprogram, shutting down the malfunctioning program damaged several key components.

[Failure, 1/2 Resources Lost]

>>8953

>Mining: Fuel (Refinery Ship)

Your newly captured refinery ship purrs like a cat as she skims the surface of a gas giant. The particulate counts are high, as the conversion fields begin the process of making He3.

[Success, +2 Fuel]

>Manufacturing: Aural Dampeners

Your cheif engineer comes in with a large digi-roll somewhere around midnight. He doesn't knock, nor does he even attempt to ask permission before clearing room on your desk. But its the solemn look on his face that keeps you from backhanding him out an airlock. He simply starts talking you through the schematics until you get the picture.

Someone sabotaged these designs. Someone tried to kill the Rawl-Kin with this tech.

It will need to be recreated, this time with a higher security rating on the procject.

The discovery of this new barren planet is intriguing to a small population of the colony barge. 2500 of the remaining folk are set upon settling the planet, so we leave them there with enough supplies to last until an internal transportation of goods is established.

(1)Ship action: Colonize P3X0452

Back on New Akranis, the colony heads are displeased with the failure to guard against potential interference when constructing such a high priority target. Wit h insufficient materials in stock, deep mining is scheduled to begin soon so as to expedite the construction of a shipyard.

(2)Colony1: Mine for exotic materials.

Understanding that the current colony barge is far too large for the skeleton crew, just shy of five-thousand, the ship heads back to New Akranis orbit, hopefully to be analyzed, categorized, and dismantled after the shipyard is done.

(3)Colony2: Start documentation on the Akran colony barge: We may learn a thing or two about shipwrighting.

1. After the chief engineer left, Baal sat motionless at his desk, staring at the digi-roll upon it. His fury simmering just under his skin. The order to begin research with heightened security parameters was received just after everyone else on the ship woke up. In particular, he wanted to make it look like they had given up. If their enemy thought that the Rawl-Kin were defeated, they would become bold.

2. Shortly after the trusted few received their orders to begin the research, the navigator was told to find a colony that could be raided. Space stations are also acceptable.

>Mining: Exotic Metal Vein

It's amazing. Just when you thought it was too good to be true, ti gets better. The vein is actually part of a greater cave system, meaning you'll have access to it well after the fault closes.

[+2 Exotic Metal/turn on Colony]

Note you do not need to roll for this.)

>Research: Demurge Cyclic Self-Propagating Reactor

It's not every day you discover a new particle. It's even less likely that this particle has only ever been suggested in one paper, which was dis-proven several thousand times over by other researchers. But here it is. The Fluix Boson. And it just wrecked an entire deck.

It seems the mechanism of the cyclic nature of the reactor that has eluded your researchers was actually the reaction of these particles to intense magnetic fields. 30 Tesla+ to be exact. (google it. it's a LOT). Needless to say, to properly understand this particle's properties, it's going to take some more experimentation. After of course, you repair the lab.

[+3 Turns to Completion, -40 Population, Critical Failure]

>>8979

>Military: Join the Fight!

Your ship cranks the FTL to 11, and pops in system, in near perfect firing position on a nearby corvette. Your Railguns land a solid hit, and slam against the defenses of the ship.

[Successful Hit]

>>8994

>Military: Fire Lasers

Your Colony Barge's array of lasers opens fire on the farthest corvette and sears it, the shields lighting up in an attempt to repel the energy.

>Military: Fire Lasers

Your Frigate's Demurge Lasers fire in tight clusters at the enemy ship, the shields buckling under the fire, and a large explosion erupting from the target's hull.

[Critical Hit - Roll 1d6 for Damaged Sector]

>>9244

>Colonize: P3X0452

Your crews land on the surface unabated, the first cargo-buildings landing successfully.

>Mining: Exotic Metals

>Research: Internal Systems Redundancy

While most Akran ships were designed in house, this ship has several redundant-designed systems from Monarch Innovations. Reverse engineering them is going to be a chore, but the underlying mechanics could be incredibly useful.

[Gain: Research - Internal Systems Redundancy, Ships created with this technology can ignore the first critical hit each combat.]

>>9249

>Research: Neutrino Payload

Bombs have been a staple of space warfare ever since the first SSTO fighters were invented, allowing orbital fighters to deliver payloads to structures or ships several orders of magnitude beyond their weight class. While less like conventional bombs, and more like heavy missiles, a Neutrino based payload could massively increase the effective strength of your bombers against most targets.

[Gain: Research - Neutrino Payload, Converts any Missile attack to a 1d10+5 Energy Weapon attack. Can ony be equipped to Bombers.]

>Research: Hexaferrium Cells

While most petroleum chemical compounds are hydrocarbon based, a recently discovered catalytic process can convert them to a high potential energy compound called Hexaferrium. When exposed to a small electrical charge, the cell releases a stream of electrons at an amperage several magnitudes higher than the input. While previously thought impossible to properly harness, due to the heat output, the unique composition of the hydrocarbons from this planet negate a sizable portion of energy loss, cutting just below the curve of cooling capabilities.

[Gain: Manufacturing - Hexaferrium Cells, 1 Exotic Metal, Requires Hydrocarbon/Petroleum deposit to manufacture]

>Combat: Take the Station Gun Batteries

Your forces smash their way through the defenses, the metalloid's morphing shapes leaving no gap for the enemy to fire at the other advancing forces. While they're still vulnerable to HEAT rounds, which the enemy begins employing with extreme predjudice, your forces break into the Gun Batteries. It'll take a bit to get them online, but it seems like the Demurge did most of the work for you.

[Success - Gun Batteries Secured, 1 Round to Online]

>>8937

NCP Safeguards have been in place since the last mishap with the system. They were rigorously tested and verified by your engineers and researchers. So when the klaxon to the NCP reactor sounds, it takes you off guard. However, it's not the engineering teams that page you, but security.

"We've got 4 men in the NCP Array with cutting torches and mining explosives. They're not responding to commands, and we think they've been programmed. Permission to neutralize!?" You give the order without question, and your security team takes them down. But in the firefight, they manage to detonate a secondary charge on one of the coolant vents, rendering the array, and your lasers, down for the count.

[Critical Failure - Lasers are offline for the duration of the Engagement]

>>8960

>Combat: Take the Gun Battery

Your soldiers stave off the counter attack as the Diamond Empire forces begin the process of powering up the guns. It's likely if you hadn't taken up position, they would have been gunned down by the HEAT and High-Ex rounds the Enemy is firing down the corridors.

Diamond tapped her command console, a constant, steady beat that held no meaning, but fully carried her impatience with every sharp clack of her telekinetic shell against the smooth metals and plastics that made up the station she commanded her ship from. All was silent as the rest of the bridge crew watched their captain and empress. Waiting along side her. The battle for the station was largely over, and now it was time for waiting.

A quiet thrum sounded from the console. The rapid clicks and rasps of the Diamond Empire's official language carried through to the bridge clearly.

"Guns are operational in 30 seconds. We await your orders Empress."

Diamond hummed in satisfaction even as her social shell gave a tight and savage grin. "Follow the examples of our allies. Spread your fire over the entire group. One solid hit will destroy any single one of them so focused fire will be useless. Prioritize those not already fired upon."

Diamond paused a second. "Good work commander. You and your team are an example to us all. "

The nameless commander replied with quiet pleasure infusing her voice. "Thank you Empress. "

The console clicked one final time indicating the transmission was ended.

Diamond stood and pressed another button, broadcasting her voice to the entire ship. "All hands prepare to undock. We can't let the commander have all the fun after all. The Demiurge have many lives to answer for and I want the Sword of Conviction to claim a small portion of that debt today!"

The bridge burst into activity as the gemoids began to prepare the ship for undocking.

>>9442

(Hit on 35*)

The battleship flew. Anticipation was the only word to describe the feelings of the crew as we were fast approaching our target. The fastest vessel in the DCS was about to collide with a ship a fraction of its size. The destruction of the corvette was fact with varying levels of destruction based on the efficiency of our velocity maneuvering we could strike it with enough force to destroy it four times over, obliteration for the demurge and a new paint job for our Girl.

On the edge of their seats eyes glued to their screens "Bring up several frontal views on the monitor, we may want to reexamine this for future study" I would need several view points to really appreciate the total destructive force being unleashed.

>>9440

The Laser of the Huntress lined up with it's target, the Battlemaster computer adding a thousand minor corrections to the ship in order to line up the hit. Inside the ship proper, a gunnery officer depressed a trigger, both elated to send another enemy ship into the void as a derelict ruin, and disappointed that none of the heavier weapons could be sued to annihilate the small ships.

1) "Hold the line!" A shout shared by many reverberated along the defensive line as rifle after rifle kicked back, sending slugs down every hallway in search of the Enemy. Many died. Many were killed. Their sacrifice was not in vain however as the gun batteries started up behind them. (Defend the Station Batteries. Sorry for delay.)
