Actually, this timeline and the STGOD1 timeline are seperate.

Hey, I was going to do the UNSC. Well, I guess I will do the UNSC mk.II, but dont try and take my SPARTANs!
Fisher, the concepts of power armored and genetically modified supersoldiers and a railgun-dependent navy are hardly unique things.

I know, I know. I should have added a smilie in there.

Bah, Spartans pale in comparision to Adeptus Astartes anyways.

We'll see. Unlike the Astartes, they're not meant as frontline troops. And to put it bluntly, they're smarter and stealthier than the average Space Marine by a large margin. A Space Marine could not outperform a SPARTAN at the kind of special operations the SPARTANs are frequently assigned to.

WH40K Space Marines, and he's right in that they outpower a SPARTAN in main infantry combat.

Captain tycho · Post by **Captain tycho** » 2004-12-26 11:00pm

Yeah, but they're hardly what you would call regular infantry. Out of a few million Guardsmen, there are only about 12,000 SMs in the AE.

Thank you Rogue. Your information was most wanted. Well, SPARTANs are made with tech from 2525 AD. I wonder how good SPARTANs would be if they were from Star Wars tech level?

Probably godlike.

Wow, you guys are soooo cute, trying to make cool little uberwank shit!

Almost every major power is going to have teams of elite, advanced power-armor. The SPARTAN program is hardly anything new, folks; and don't expect to get anything totally war-changingly powerful from SPARTANS. Rather, focus on clever strategy and advantageous diplomacy- you will find that unlike SPARTANs, these things will actually give you an advantage.

The Shi Combine has fallen back upon the proven technology of the pointy stick, in these turbulent and EMP filled times. Try shutting that down!

*Takes out plasma cannon. Vaporizes pointy stick*

*puts on armour, watches pointy stick poke ineffectually.*

*doesn't care about pointy stick, because it does nothing to an amorph*

That enough reasons?

You should know better than to use an antimatter weapon, especially in an atmosphere. Oh, and your aim was off.

Who is going to constitute the moderating staff?

phongn · Post by **phongn** » 2004-12-27 12:33am

I should note that I am rather more interested in plotlines such as:
Triad/Zodiac Hidden War
Halite/Saturn fight in the shadows, the last remnants of the Great War
Bane's ship of misfits and a certain hotshot pilot
Andrews/Nguyen's interactions as the ex-pirate and 'guest' flit around the galaxies

Good question.Would you like to volunteer? While I've been organizing this, I'm not sure I'd like to mod, or if I'd do a good job.

Oh, and Marcao will be a mod, if no one has any complaints.

I revised the CorpSec fleet counts (guess the past few years have been kind of boring for them) and added some government information. Hope that works.

As for ground forces, I'll have to update and repost the catalogs of the various CorpSec companies. We make and sell just about everything. Power armor (Combat Environment Suit, Hazardous Environment Suit), fully self-aware droids, hover and tracked vehicles of all sorts...

I think a quote from the Techno Union representative in Episode II sums it up: "Are we prepared for war? War is our business... of course we're prepared!"

Also, I may bring back my bounty hunter alter ego for some fun hijinks. Although by now I think he's definitely found some anti-aging treatments.

It's important to take and hold worlds; those who drop away their military forces for starships will face an inability to conquer other nations and put down revolts in conquered territory.
Not to mention die like stinking dogs to boarding forces.

Well, that's why my army is a glorified marine force

Very good at boarding and this kind of operations, but piss-poor at anything like ground combat...

anyone mind if i take a regional power? i've got most of my ideas fleshed out. also, i take it things like telepaths, psionics, advanced cybernetics etc. are kosher provided there's a suitable reason to have them?

Telepaths, psionics, and cybenetics are the norm in even technologically vanilla societies like the Commonwealth. Feel free to use them, and enjoy a regional.

I'm currently adding and refining my OOB. More ships, descriptions of insitutions such as the Inquisition, and a tech section.
