There was a large backlog of traffic around Ober. Thousands of trading freighters descended on the world to trade their various sundries for the galaxy-renowned luxury goods of Ober. Thousands of cases of precious Oberin wine were being onloaded to hundreds of waiting freighters, their captains eage...

Hey everyone, Sorry that I've been delinquent in my posting schedule. I graduated from college back in May, around the time the game started, and in mid-July I got my first job and my life suddenly got really busy. Who'd have thought that working would take so much damn time!? As a result, my postin...

I've been able to ignore most of the things you talk about, while some other things have always really annoyed me. Like guns in RPGs dealing damage equal to maybe a tenth of your HP. Gun's are a lot more powerful than that. If a soldier gets a crit hit with a military rifle on your white mage with c...

Multiplayer games would be great if you didn't have to play with other people.

Recevied, traffic control. Assuming docking pattern now. We only request that our overseers are allowed planetside to see to the distribution of these supplies. These goods are intended for the people of Africa, not the armies of the TGA. To be sure, we mean no offense - but the Oberin are determin...

When Tristan burst into his father's throne room, Forrith Artelme was not surprised. On the contrary, Imperator Forrith would have been quite surprised if his son had NOT come bursting in. He was a great one for bursting, Tristan Artelme. "This is the time. This is our time!" Tristan calle...

I'll take a crack at a summary. The diplomatic thread was eventful. Thirdfain (Poland) started things off by calling together a Coalition of Nations, a UN-esque forum on a station orbiting Earth. The CoN is neutral ground, but it is stationed over Polish holdings. There were some incidents around th...

Ober The Wanderer was, of course, clean to all save psionic scans, which simply confirmed the woman was of staggering mental power. She had, after all, manifested a 'ship' capable of jumping from the relatively obscure Ring the Wanderers lived on. We greet the ruler of Ober. Resonated the thought t...

Ober The Imperial Capital on Ober was a place of immense beauty. The city was kept small and rural on purpose. This was partially because it encouraged the image of the Oberin as passive and provincial, and partially because it made the Imperial palace look that much grander by comparison. The pala...

Imperial Overlord wrote:Either that or use my mod powers to throw moons at their home worlds.

The STGOD equivalent of "rocks fall, everyone dies."

As soon as the Chitaran ship sent its hail, the commanders at Oberin Fleet searched the intelligence database. The entry was meager. <<Chitaran Association. Avians from near the Southern Rim. Indirect contact through southern trade. Homeworlds never visited. Diplomatic contact negative. (After this,...

-OOC- Sorry it's been a while since we visited this plot, but let's get it going again! The freighter was small compared to most of the ships in the Oberin Armada, but it still had a substantial cargo manifest. While marines swept the freighter for any clues, crews worked furiously to check and tran...

Hey everyone, just wanted to apologize for not being on at all for the last week. I've been kind of busy with some things that are very important (I start a new job on Monday!) and some things that aren't really that important but are terribly distracting (God of War 2!). I'm reading what I missed a...

Trellen nodded at Svetlana's suggestion. "Targeting the cargo seems a likely reason for the attack. But why would anyone go after the kind of general supplies on this ship? Sure, foodstuffs and the like are in high demand, but also high supply. I can't imagine the black market rating on this sh...

Man, if my nation was in the Sol system, I'd be really nervous right now. Good thing I'm not. Alien powers ftw!

On an entirely unrelated note, I'm having fun with this whole freighter incident. The plot thickens!

"I agree, the docking station on this freighter is getting a bit crowded. But you and the Wanderers arrived before us, and we requested the Dwarves' aid us with inspection of the vessel. Surely you know of their skill with engineering work," Trellen told Svetlana. "If you wish to esco...

"Sir," came the call from the still-docked Oberin shuttle. "Dwarven shuttle is en route to our position now. They should be ready to dock in about a minute." "If you'll excuse me a moment," Trellen nodded to the Wanderer, then headed back towards the cockpit to speak to...

Well, both Starglider and Dark Hellion are kind of right. STGOD is all about realpolitik. NGTO can go ahead and glass Dark Hellion's worlds all they want, the only question is whether or not they can get away with it. If you do your job right, DH, they won't be able to. Or maybe they will anyway, an...

"Well, here you have approached a subject that I am familiar with. As director of Marines for this fleet group, I am in command of the security onboard all Second Armada vessels. I have no problem allowing you onboard one of our vessels, but I am afraid I can only stretch courtesy so far... you...

Trellen nodded thoughtfully. "I have read my history, and am no stranger to the treachery of humanity. In my, uh, capacity as representative of the Oberin Imperiate," he continued, stammering over the unfamiliar words, "I assure you that we take your words very seriously. A violent me...

Trellen frowned at the Wanderer's announcement. "Unrest in the Galactic South? That's a bit extreme, don't you think? Still, you might be right. I still have no idea why Fleet Command sent a force this size to investigate suspected piracy. Maybe someone higher up knows something I don't. That's...

Just look at what happens with the meagre details I do drip feed. A distress signal from a commercial freighter gets intercepted and one nation suddenly deploys a war fleet and mobilizes their spy network and another shows up and says "Hey Starborn, what's up?" Yeah, sorry about that Spyd...

"There are two kinds of spaceships," Cpt. Trellen thought as he gazed out the large viewport of the shuttle. "The big kind and the fun kind." Trellen was used to the fun kind. He had been a member of the Oberin Marine for nearly two decades, since he was old enough to enlist. Dro...

Spyder, quick word of clarification... What is general knowledge about your race? You state in your OOB that the Starborn are reclusive and work through proxies. Does the galaxy at large know about the existence of the Starborn? If so, how much is known about the relation between the Starborn and th...

The Oberin commander sighed in dismay as the comms officer brought up another message. Claiming jurisdiction and having a huge fleet was supposed to make things EASIER, but instead he found himself playing lead to an increasingly touchy situation. "What's the situation on those scans?" &qu...
