If you keep being vague and don't provide me with a name, I will continue to assume that there is no Iothe player other than myself. Kindly provide one, as otherwise I have no precedent to vacate my spotlack of information, y'know.

No offense Solel, but Zax was only back in EoD, and now we're doing a totally new webstory. Though actually, I just remember that I remembered the wrong system, so yeah, you can get Iothe.

Ah, good then. Thanks.
I'd like to join this game. I want to start a new government within the Voinian government: The Isled Technologies Instituation, also known as the ITI. Here is their background.
Since the Voinian Empire was young, it used overwhelming power to rule. It's fleets and armies would always crush the enemy with superior firepower and defences. As the years went on, the ITI was created to build newer, stonger weapons to counter the enemies weapons.
Decades passed, and the ITI had created the things that the Voinian Navy was known for; it's Nuetron technology as well as increadible armor. It wasn't until 5 years before the Voinians found the United Earths that a terrible accident happened. The ITI were supposed to be creating a supermissile capable of ruining the Emalgha homeworld of Emalghion. The gargantuan missile was created, and a year later, it was launched.
The missile had a slight glitch, caused by a Voinian defector belonging to the Emalghia. Instead of destroying Emalghion, the missile flew to the system of DSN-9418. The missile completely obliverated all life on the planet, as well as the planets atmosphere. The planet in DSN-9418 was now a lifeless grey ball of ice and rock.
The government figured that if the public found out about this catastrophy, the Empire would be in such disorder that it would collaspe. The ITI was shut down. All files were destroyed, and everything the ITI had worked so hard for was gone. The scientists were forced to stay in the system, and they could never leave. They started new lives, changing their identities. All memory of the ITI was gone.
It wasn't until 4 years later, did the Voinian civillians notice that DSN-9418 was gone. The government had kept it very quiet, but it was bound to leak. People started asking questions, questions that the government wasn't allowed to answer. A substitute answer was found, one that would not only cover up the ITI's accident, but also work in the Voinians favor.
They said that it was the fault of the United Earths. It began as only a rumor, but like a deadly virus, it spread. Finally, the government annouced that there had been a huge battle over the planet. They said that the UE provoked the fight, and had completely destroyed the Voinian fleet without mercy. Then they said that the UE fleet had destroyed what was left of life on the planet.
All history books were rewritten, all minds began to focus on hating the UE. Their hatred fueled the fire of war between the United Earths and the Voinian Empire, kept it burning so that it could never die out. Voinian children were taught that the UE were complete evil from the age of less than 7 years until they eventually ended school. The Voinians armies grew, as did their navy. Even the people who had started the rumors and knew that they were lies began to believe that it was the UE's fault, and that the UE must be destroyed.
More years past, and the ITI was reopened in secret. For all of the years of the war, the ITI worked on the one thing that they believed that the UE simply could not stop. They worked on creating the Dreadnaught. And they failed.
When the government saw that the Dreadnaught hadn't worked, they shut down the ITI again. It wasn't until recent years from now that the ITI was finally reopened for a second time. This time, it would stay secret. This time, no one would know what went on in the system of Isled. And this time, there would be no mistakes.
The ITI, with the help of Voinian resources, has finally created a navy for their own use. Along with brand new technologies, the small but strong navy has become very powerful.
Ships:
Isled Webfighter: The Isled Webfighter is completely drone operated. There are 50 Webfighters in creation, because they cost almost nothing to make. They have never even been used against a real threat. The Webfighter has only one weapon, the Interdictor Beam. This beam, while only a centimeter thick, has the ability to stop a ship in it's tracks. Because the beam by itself was not enough, all 50 Webfighters are placed in positions around the Isled system. Their purpose is to catch any intruder, gluing them to their spot so that they cannot escape and cannot attack. The beams do no damage at all, but the Webfighters have very sturdy armor. Because the Webfighter was build around the Interdictor Beam, there is no way to put the beam on any other ship, and there is no way to add weaponry to the Webfighters.
ITI Scorpion: The only true fighter in the ITI navy, the Scorpion is fast, armed with 3 pivoted Neutron Daggers, and has exceptional armor. Other than that, this fighter is completely normal. There are currently 6 Scorpion fighters in the ITI navy.
ITI Shroudship: The Shroudship is the most heavily special weaponry armed ship in the ITI navy. It's main ability is the sensor shroud, which hides all ITI ships from enemy sensors. Instead, it places many ITI ship markings at random places completely away from the real ITI ships. The last ablity of the Shroudship is the Shield Mask. This simple device hides the shield and armor status of all surrounding ships (even enemy) from the enemy. The ITI ships can still see all shield stats, but the enemy can't. There are currently 2 Shroudships in service.
ITI 'Dreadnaught': While not actually a dreadnaught class ship, the ITI Dreadnaught is a replica of the Voinian Dreadnaught, except without the failures. The ITI Dreadnaught is the size of a carrier, but carries 5 turreted Neutron Scythes and 2 turreted Illusion Missile launchers. It can carry all 6 of the Scorpion fighters as well as the 2 Shroudships. There is only one Dreadnaught, the Shade.
Technologies and Weaponry:
Interdiction Beam: The Interdiction Beam is the very similar to the tractor beam of the Miranu, except that it doesn't pull as much as it does keep in place. It still pulls slightly on the target, but with several beams convering on one target, the target is rendered immobile until the beams are turned off. This means that the target cannot turn, cannot go forwards or backwards, and is virtually a sitting duck for missiles.
Sensor Shroud: The Sensor Shroud completely clouds the enemy ships radar. Because all ITI ships are colored completely black, if the Shroud is up, it is next to impossible to find the enemy until you have visual contact. If the ITI ships go out of the Shrouds range, however, they return to the enemies sensors.
Neutron Dagger: Taking the Neutron blaster one step up, the Dagger is a small beam weapon. It is short ranged, but packs a serious punch.
Neutron Scythe: The Neutron Scythe is the big brother of the Dagger. It has longer range, but does less damage.
Shield Mask: The Shield mask masks the shield and armor ammount of all ships. It only applies to the enemy.
Illusion missile: The Illusion missile is a very tricky device. On the radar, it appears as one missile until it gets very close to the target ship. One it is near the target, the radar is tricked into showing that the missile has now become many missiles that are all around the target ship. This often causes fighter pilots to make stupid mistakes and lets the missile's targetting job be a little easier.
New tech: Missilegate A new device is being created in the Isled system. This device is the Missilegate. The Missilegate is the most accurate thing the ITI has ever dreamed up. It can target a location up to 7 systems in any direction. This location can be as small as 250 square meters. A space missile is launched into hyperspace, and then taken out by it's own hyperdrive when it reaches it's target. The missile not only has it's own hyperdrive, but it has it's own targetting system. It will automaticly target the largest enemy classified in the system. This will be done about 10-14 posts after the story begins.
------------------
It may become necessary that you instead play as the Voinian government, Major. We are somewhat short on players. Would that be possible for you?
Very well.
Kauthor, it is unlikely that I will be able to make the conference at all today. If you would be so kind as to spell out what we're to discuss, I might be able to provide some input within the next few minutes.
Otherwise, could you send me a text copy of the conference?
Remember all; I am Iothe.
Not a problem. I will send you the text copy.
Great. Be prepared though---I might be able to make the end of it.
Another point: shouldn't Major research some of that technology if he is the Voinians? We're going to use real-time-days for research, yes?
(This message has been edited by Solel (edited 03-17-2003).)
Yes, always real time day.
First off I think I'd like to join, I don't know quite what spots are available but I'll take just about anything. I will not gurantee daily posting though. I may be able to recruit another player as well, Xenocide if anyone knows him. Second I saw that you are cutting off the strands and the Miranu. I may have limited experiance but it is generally best to leave some space for expansion why not leave that space open but say that the other spots must be filled first. That way you can leave the strands for new players. Just some advice from a self-appointed know-it-all.

Glad to hear it. There is a meeting set in 40 Minutes at 3 PM PST. If you can get AIM, then please IM Me.
Don't forget to email me what happens at the meeting!!!
------------------ Everyone has a photographic memory, just not everyone has film.
Low Turnout=no email.

Thats funny in kind of a strange way...
I am thinking about throwing out the sequel idea, and so that we can have a fresh webstory. 4 pages on how to start a webstory? Come on!

I agree with that, but didn't Ipvicus mention doing it before???
Ipvicus didn't mention that. I am creating a new topic for the webstory.
