Actually, there's the Character thread buried somewhere here.

Can't we like merge or interlink these threads somehow?

Oh God, I still have to write about Titan etc...



Plus I need to revise for exams...

[Kassiopeia]

Exams? Ouch. Had a little wave of them just last week, the next one is yet to come. The prospects of summer vacation are present in the horizon, however.
And I should prolly write something about Coalition. It's been nearly a month since my last story post.

[History Guy]

One People. One Galaxy. One Government. Gag me with a spoon.

It's not as crummy as Vita, Libertas, et Copia, however. (Life, Freedom, and Wealth-- Morgan's motto thing.)

Cybergod, I'd like Queen M.'s phone number!

Think you two are hard up on backlogged story posts? I haven't even begun what I need to do yet. Gaaaaag.

[History Guy]

Well, check off another post from me. Only problem is that...once again, I haven't run off that message to Saturn. I did, however, add a bit more story, and sent short messages to Kessel and Ian, and an introductory message to Yang.

[Mr. President]

Is there any room here for a semi-retired planeswalker who should be doing more important work?

[Frankychan]

Yay, Mr. President is back!

Good to see you are back, sir! Yes, there is a spot reserved for you whenever you come into this thread, man!

[History Guy]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw!

[Mr. President]

*Jumps back startled*

That's the loudest on-line Yee-ha! I've ever heard!

[Lonestar]

eh. I've seen better "coming out of retirement" statements.

[Mr. President]

It's my first coming-out-of-retirement statement. Practice makes perfect.

[Sprayber]

Welcome back Mr. President.


As promised to Franky here is a link to both Gorn and Bree pages.

http://www.geocities.com/kessel74/SpartanAlien.html

The Bree page is a little cluttered at the moment but I got the pictures up and ill be adding known history and a little about the Gorn Bree war. Anything that anyone would like to add is much appreciated.


Franky: The Bree are Hive allies. The Hive should know a little more than the others about the Bree. You will have a little more lee way in describing their culture at least what the Hive is aware of. If you got any questions, I have some other pictures such as a few of their crafts. Their culture or lack there of will be left to your imagination if you would like the oportunity.


Here is a picture of an alien that actually goes behind the armour. But if you want you can decide to use another race or whatever.

[Sprayber]

BTW. on the page a caption mentions Captured Bree Armour. The Spartans have some idea about the appearence of the Bree. But they have never actually captured an intact Bree body. Parts yes, but never a whole Bree body. They have samples of DNA but nothing that say for sure that the Bree actually looks like under the Armour. There is speculation that the Bree have conqured at least one other race and use them as slaves/servents but again that is speculation. All of that will be included in the section once I get time.

One thing to keep in mind if you ever write about either Bree or Gorn

Both races use cloning on a massive scale. Much more than the Hive or other human states could achieve in the forseeable future. They use their clones or altered beings as soldiers in their on going war with each other.

[Frankychan]

Thanks Sprayber!

Ok, I'd appreciate trying to create the Bree culture. One idea that I have that you mention is cloning. I'm thinking the Bree gives Hive advanced cloning tech and that's how come we have so much clones fighting for us....modeled after Bree/Gorn cloning, although not as advanced.

Hmmm, I'll post the Bree info on my page (although it will have a slight Hive propaganda feel to it.) Can you PM me or something with your idea's on the Gorn/Bree and their war? From there, I'll try see what I can cook up.

[Mr. President]

It's good to be back. Inspired by the Spartan Quotes page, I'm going to make up a similar thing for the Drone Republic. Unfortunately, since I don't have a website, pathetic Internet drifter that I am, it's going in the Datalinks thread.

edit: In the last section about the skirmish at the Bree Fringe, I made up the term "Death Knight" for a sub-group of elite Bree warriors. Hope I didn't overstep my authority. Anyway, if you want to use that term, Franky, go right ahead. I can find the quote if you like.

[Sovereign]

Guys, here's a few comments from good ol' me


I've edited all my old story posts. One change is the "finding Protectorate tranmissions" to the "hacking" scenario we all agreed on. Another is changing the Metallic Hydrogen to Solidifed Hydrogen, and also the Trans-Plamsa reactor to the Excalibur reactor. Pretty much fixes up my errors and inconsitiencies.


Onto collorboration.


Mr. President

Thanks for staying with us. I have a good suggestion for you to stay in BAC and not quit. Just "block out" or "filter out" all Mellian's insults, and don't give in to petty words. I'm just saying that I'd hate to lose you, because you bring a lot to the BAC table.

By the way, I was wondering if we could try and work something out to involve UCS and Drones, about that temple? Maybe we could link that Temple to the ancient empire ruins found on Berrik. What do you think?



Franky

Did you recieve my PM yesterday or Friday night? I'd like to proceed further with Hive-UCSS relations.


And also, I noticed there's no reference to UCS in the Hive Xeno page. I feel left out Please write up something about UCS in the Xeno page, more information about that was written in my PM to you Franky.


Kass

Do you think it'd be better if UCS contacts TA or EC? I mean, I know Mellian does TA and TAF, but I'm curious from your point of view. I'm interested in further relations with Sol, mainly due to two reasons.

First, most other factions seem to view Sol as backwards with the exception of the Hive. I'd like to be a benefactor to Sol, not because of Chironian hostility, but because of unique trading and links. Randius would love to visit Russia, his father's birthplace, and get hands on some bio-metal, or organic technology. With artifical intelligence and organic technology, perhaps University could create entirely new species or races


Also, perhaps Sol would like to have faster FTL drives





History

I was wondering what would be a good plotline between UCS and Morgan?



PM me with your ideas, Franky, Kass, History, and President!



I think it'd be more interesting and exciting for BAC if UCS had several plots going on with other factions. Takes everyone minds off the endless warmongering.


Anyway, lemme know guys!
