Beyond Alpha Centauri:: Discussion Thread 2

[Kassiopeia]

Soooo, what next?

[Sprayber]

Kessel will contact the Terrans to discuss their troubles with Morganites and set forth Spartan demands. I suppose this would be directed at the Terran Alliance or maybe I guess he could send the message to the EC since it is the largest terran faction.

[Kassiopeia]

Yes, but remember the momentum of time here. I think it would be the time for Nova Saturna or Morgan Interstellar to react. *winks to Cybergod and History Guy*

Oh, and the website - no chance before the weekend after this coming weekend.

Yeah, I know. I mentioned that to Cyber when he asked for reactions from the Spartans and Hive about their independence.

Thanks very much for replying!

I have decided not to take anyone's saide yet - after all we will end the independence to our own gain and become self-governed, so no need for alliances yet. We wish to remain neutral in the Spartan and Hive conflicts. Morgan however, being an usurper in our system...

My next post will deal with our appeal to the TA and our negotiations with the Belter mercenaries - could Maria offer them permission to mine some of the other asteroid/moons of Saturn (eg. Calypso) in exchange for full support in case of an attack?

Also, when we finally reach independence peace, we will switch to a Monarchy which will have the Queen bestowed with powers of a permanend president (not a dictator, no matter how much others would want that! ), with a democratic parliament etc. Then switch slowly to a Green Economy and speedily change to Knowledge as our Value.

Yeah yeah yeah, I know everyone wants a post, and I'll just have to start working on one. I did get some more Morganite characters bios up, though. How are they, hmmm?

[Sprayber]

Just wondering if everyone is still around after the latest poly down time?

[Kassiopeia]

I'm here. And with some criminal loads of work off my back, feeling better then ever.

[Cybergod]

I wanted to post DAYS ago but the Apolyton site apeared to be down, or something

So here it is (in a second)

So Kass? We replied!

[Mr. President]

It'd take more than a crappy server to keep me away from my Alpha Centauri-related stories!

[Frankychan]

I'm here after being refused entry.

But no one has asked where I was...

That's ok cause the Hive is gonna take over the whole dang
U-N-I-V-E-R-S-E !!!

Let me bust out my Hive armies of destruction!!!


(Just Kidding...except the whole dominating all free-will life )

***********Attention

Everyone take a look at the new map that I put up. I need everyone to comment on any problems or concerns that you may have about it. I can change things somewhat easily on it . If you have a specific system you want shown, let me know where it is and i'll place it there for you.

Notes

Hive territory is not known exactly but there is some idea of where it is located.

Morgan Coperate Sector: I didn't name the systems there History guy, instead choosing to be vauge to allow you the right to name them. If you want, drop me some names and I'll fill them in for you. This is where Morgan has most of his heavy mining interests. The Spartans help defend this area because they have intersts there too.

Uv Watt is the region where the somewhat reclusive Uv Watt resided(Tarn) They have very little contact with humans and are only slightly more advanced then the humans are.

Bree and Gorn Expanse are the general directions where the respective races are located. They come together near the Galactic core.

Drone I had to use the same color for the drones and Believers. But I trust you guys can tell the difference.

White worlds are independent worlds located at various places. That isn't an exhaustive list, just the most important ones.

University is labeled in white but includes Zak Prime(not official), Nova Prime, and a third world. Anyone that comes along later can change it somewhat if they wish.

Orange worlds like Procyon, Tau Ceti, Sirius are not claimed by anyone at the moment But they are major stars and had to be put on there.

Blue un named stars are not all apart of the Hive Empire, they are just minor stars that anyone can claim if they fall along side their borders. Of course the ones in the Hive region may or may not be apart of the GHE.

[Frankychan]

I like it Sprayber,

It was a little unclear at first, but when one examines the maps more closely it is understandable. I don't know if its just my comp but some of the text is a little fuzzy.

I really like what you've done to the GHE zone, keeping it vague but with a definite "Hive" presence there.

Blue un named stars are not all apart of the Hive Empire, they are just minor stars that anyone can claim if they fall along side their borders. Of course the ones in the Hive region may or may not be apart of the GHE.

Hey, I thought all planets in the GHE zone were Hive! Man, you're gonna put all kinds of holes in my wonderous empire!
Nah, as I see it, almost all of the planets in the GHE zone are Hive. If they aren't Hive than they are "bullied" into being a Hive protectorate---meaning they are "independent" per se, but still part of the GHE.

As for planet MI-35( the planet near the Bree Fringe that the Drone's are snooping around)....why are you guys so far from home, eh?

[Sprayber]

When I talked about all the blue stars, if you notice there are blue stars all over the map. the ones in and around the GHE can be apart of the hive Empire.


this is just a prelim map to get feedback. the next one will be clearer

I found that Blue and red don't save very well into jpeg. I'll figure something out.

Like i said this is a first draft to get feedback from all the nice posters

Blue: unknown
White: independent and University

[Sprayber]

Planet MI-35 presents a problem

But I can maybe put it inside Spartan territory somewhat as maybe a gift from the Spartans to the Drones. Or maybe the Drone planet is near a deep space hive and Bree station used to spy on the Gorn, who has territory near by.

Any suggestions? Franky, Mr. President?
