Eh??
What are you talking about??!?

Ah well!
If by "wrong us" you mean "fail to be intimidated by our threats", then fine, so be it!
Go ahead and give us your best shot, and we shall gladly join forces with the Hive for a few years...

-Damn Spartans! Always causing trouble...

Somewhere on a Peacekeeper base...


Aide: "Sir! The convoy to Xanthia is ready to depart. They've requested an escort."
Commander: "Very well. Assign a battle cruiser to escort the convoy."
Aide: "Sir, we have reports of a Spartan vessel..."

Commander (interrupting his aide): "Okay, make that five battle cruisers."

[Kassiopeia]

I remember scan reading that there is going to be a Beyond Alpha Centauri website

I've got one prepared, but it can't have too many pictures since it has a 5 meg size limit. Maps should fit in nicely.
It has a lot of other stuff (Made it in five hours, the result looks just like that) but the BAC section is:

http://personal.phpoint.net/nortti/bac.htm

It has for now the Terran Timeline. Other Coalition /InEn /Alliance thingies I will now download from Poly. If someone wants their faction stuff there, ask.

Commander (interrupting his aide): "Okay, make that five battle cruisers."

You need five battle cruisers to down a single Spartan vessel!?

Looks good, Kassiopeia. Maybe when I've done some more work you can put up some Morgan stuff there too.

[History Guy]

Spraybayer, Cyon Solo? Good heavens, she looks...horrific!

[Kassiopeia]

If my page would have to be given the name of a Secret Project, it would definitely be "Ascetic Virtues"...

I just can't personally stand those pages with horrific backgrounds and difficult text. What is wrong with plain black on white?

[Kassiopeia]

And btw, could you please "test drive" the site with other browsers then IE should you have one?

Kass: I like the site. Your right in that simple is sometimes better. I would like to ask one thing however. What happened to Mars? When the Unity left the Sol system, it was there. Did you guys blow it up?


History Guy: Cyan Solo is going to be very dangerous female. I originally had her in mind for CC but never got around to introducing her. She will make her appearence felt. She is so dangerous the Spartans felt the need to put her into cryo sleep.

Note: You comic fans out there may recognize her as certain character caught between heaven and hell

[Frankychan]

Go ahead and give us your best shot, and we shall gladly join forces with the Hive for a few years...

The Greater Hive Empire and Peacekeepers?

Despotism and (bleh) Democracy?

Emperor Yang does not want a war with the Spartans or does he? Not with that cryo sleep chick. Or maybe we gots something under our sleeve? A death star? (just joking)

Although that cryo-chick really is starting to put me in "a pickle".

Official Transmission to Sparta from Hive

"The attack on your fringe colonies was a terrible mistake. We
believed Sparta was amassing an invasion fleet and unfortunately, Hive ships decided to take it into their own hands to deal with the problem. Rest assured, all Hive personnel responsible are 'taken care' of."

-Minister Zell

[Frankychan]

Who's who?

Oh yeah,

I forgot to ask..

Which author is what faction?

Who is the leader of each faction?

Why does ice cream taste so good?

Sorry if this sounds kinda 'bossy' but these questions have been plaguing me for some time now.

[Sprayber]

Spartan----Sprayber
Independent Planet--Sprayber
Hive---Franky Chan
Peacekeepers----Guardian
Pirates---Lord LMP
Fraal-----Lord LMP
Human faction---Lord LMP Sorry I can't remember which one LMP is directing
Titan faction---Cybergod?
Terrans (Sol) ---Kass
Free Drone Republic---Mr. President
Morgan Inisteller----History Guy
University--Darkcloud will drop in from time to time to write
Data Angels-----Argonaut (Haven't heard from him in a while. Hopefully he can help out a little.
Gaians----Alynzia


If I missed anyone im sorry. It's not that I did on purpose, but because there has been so much to keep up with besides this thread. This was done from memory. If you guys want, mention this to others and get more people to join. I want to do maybe some kind of independent planet or something. There has to be some out there. It will be human of course. Maybe something along the lines of a lost colonly or something.


edited: So I could fix my mistake about the Terrans

[Kassiopeia]

Human faction---Lord LMP Sorry I can't remember which one LMP is directing

Belters and Scions. Part time.

Terran Alliance---Kass

Terran Alliance is not a separate faction.

All factions in Sol belong to Terran Alliance.

Think of NATO for instance. Common protection, with added economic interests and the Terran Alliance Joint Task Forces.

It's a loosely built attempt to create system-wide goverment.

Now, what is the real faction of Earth is the fabled Earth Coalition. I also have InEn, so it should be:

Earth Coalition, InEn---Kass

No, but if the Spartans see that they're outnumbered, outgunned and out of luck, perhaps they'll be bright enough to refrain from messing with that convoy and we won't have to down them at all.

Of course, they won't be happy with us, but hey... they're never happy with us...

-kind of like we're never happy with them, I guess...

[Sprayber]

Kass: I didn't mean to imply that the Terran alliance was a separate faction from the rest of sol, but I do see where it could be implied that way. Love you site BTW. But you didn't say what happend to Mars.
