  • A Begining and End

    In MY year 2175, the CPU surrendered to the joint forces of Human Hive and the Free Drones. It had been a long and difficult battle with numerous atrocities committed by both sides during the sunspot activity.

    Battle Function Geomodder of the CPU signed the surrender with Commander Jtsisyoda leading the Free Drones and Deputy Chairman Honghu of the Human Hive. When the sunspot activity lifted the following year shock ran through the global community as it became apparent that captured cities of Believers and Peace had been brutally nervestapled by the CPU. While Hive and the Drones had caused numerous deaths of Cycon and University citizens in their efforts to put an end to so called half humans.

    All Borgs had their implants removed and were given back their humanity and the world tried to move on from their mistakes. However, the crimes during the recent wars were not forgotten.

    While the alliance controlled the world there was still great unrest among the populance. In an effort to bring peace Foreman Buster of the Free Drones proposed a colonisation project where the dissidents and war criminals that had resulted from the recent wars would be sent to colonise a new world. A complete pardon of all past crimes was offered for those willing to take the trip.

    Archaeological studies of alien records at the Manifold Nexus revealed possible planets for the new penal colony. In the alien records the planet Chiron was known as Manifold 6 and there were other Manifolds. Intrigued the destination of the new colony was determined to be the planet referred to as Manifold 4.

    In MY year 2200 the penal starship FDHH Redemption was commissioned. It included the facilities for world forming to seed a new world making it inhabitable according to Foreman Buster’s vision. While originally the project was targeted at dissidents of the conquered factions, loyalists from both the Free Drones and the Human Hive also boarded the Redemption to become part of the construction of the new world. It became project of hope that brought peace to both those that chose to stay on Chiron and those who sought to colonise the new world. Previous faction loyalties were eroded as a result and past wrongs began to be forgotten.

    The starship FDHH Redemption arrived in the solar system of star 456-462 and started atmospheric and landmass terraforming of Manifold 4 according to the plans Buster had lain out. The crew named the star Elpis after the Greek goddess of hope and in commemoration of the unity mission turned the calendar back to 2100.

    However, obviously not all the wrongs in the past had been forgiven as an unknown group started the self destruct sequence of the Redemption before the world forming had been completed. When the escape pods landed seven distinct factions emerged each blaming the others for the destruction of the Redemption. This time distrust meant there would only be one victor that would rule over this new world.

    You need Advanced Spaceflight to make an interstellar starship, and even if you had that tech, you'd need the minerals for 28 Colony Pods, 7 Scouts, enough Cryobays to support the people - which would require the equivalent of 7 fusion reactors (14 fission reactors for 14 colony pods, 7 fusion)
    You'd also need a basic spaceship structure, and the escape pods - make that 7 ODPs.

    No bloody way that could be done in 1 freakin' year.

      Besides, the CyCon vessel Unity III is reaching completion in Chiron orbit within 10 posts.

      the target is 61 Cygni A, the main component of a double star system consisting of 2 orange stars, about 14 ly away...

        I, the Lord God Tassadar, 1 second before everyone stopped believing in me and I disappeared into the Abyss, let the ship escape into a plot hole.

                    First, I'm not going to get the plug in.
                    Second, nobody appointed me to be the deputy Kody. I don't want to be a shooting target either.
                    Third, thanks for writing the ending and starting episode. I will send it to DanQ.
                    Be good, and if at first you don't succeed, perhaps failure will be back in fashion soon. -- teh Spamski

                        Single faction game?!

                        And HongHu, you can submit that to the CivGroups news, and then get someone to accept it. I could do this if you like.

                            Why don't you organise one then, MWIA?
                            I think I have a 'normal' sized map somewhere, 89% water, ideally for putting a bunch of custom seafaction on it + enough room for 2 land factions. And I can adapt it with a bit more land so 3 land factions are possible...

                              Well we do have a perfectly good, prstine ACPSG, with forum, save etc all ready. In fact if there was to be a restart of a single faction game I would be all for it.

                              I really don't know if there's the interest though. Tass was once interested.

                              Anyone else?
