In the future of 2032 the future has brought with it space exploration ships that can go hundreds upon thousands of light years in almost an instance thanks to the technology of FTL (faster then light) jumps. Their are frontier planets and their are entire empires ruled by a monarchy and their are those that are warring with themselves for independence against the monarchies. In other words their is never a truly peaceful planet or system because everyone is fighting for something and as a result they need ships. So what can they do if they cannot use their own troops? well that's simple, You hire space pirates! Even in this future their are those who enjoy pillaging and plundering the stars and their are those pirates that have letters of marque allowing privateers to legally fight enemy ships from other empires or nations. This is the tale of a simple ship that will soon become the leaders of true piracy and in time leads all pirates on a grand scale, will you join this pirate crew? okay in a nutshell, its the future and we are space pirates their are going be many kinds of people that will specialize in different aspects of space piracy including electronic warfare, weapon specialist, helmsmen, engineers, you name it. This is the tale of the Tsuki no kama [moon scythe] pirates Cs creation: Name: Age(at least above 18 but not so old you will be hindrance): Appearance: race (human, cyborg, space child etc.) personality: history: Role (specific duty that your given as a member of this ship): Specialty (what you are most proud of, a skill you are the best at): Skills (abilities you have learned over the years, 2 expert skills and 3 average skills max): Other: [hider=skill types] [b]helmsmen skill[/b]: ability to steer a space ship [b]gun chief[/b]: master of weapons both on and off the ship [b]Recruitment chief[/b]: a good judge of character and able to teach new recruits the ropes [b]Radar Specialist[/b]: The navigator of the ship able to direct a ship towards its designated course [b]Electronic warfare specialist[/b]: master of the computers and can hack into enemy ships leaving them vulnerable to attack and if they are good enough can force the enemy surrender without the ship needing to break a sweat [b]engineer[/b]: the engineer is the master of building and repairing a ship and can keep it going for a good long time [b]negotiator[/b]: a master of improvisation and able to manipulate others into moving things towards their side [b]Medic[/b]: the healer of the group and able to keep everyone alive [b]Assassin[/b]: while not found on every ship their are a few that have these masters of sneaking onto an enemy ship and preparing the area for the rest of the boarding party to join in If you can think of another skill or specialty please let me know :) [/hider] [hider=ship types] [b]Empire warship[/b]= [img]http://www.budconcept.ru/newinphoto/post43/0%20(10).jpg[/img] This warship is the largest in the empires military best known for their tough armor which would easily block most energy based weapons but still withstand large scale missile barrages. The very reason why the empire is still a feared and respected military fighting force. [b]Empire fighter ships[/b]= [img]http://previewcf.turbosquid.com/Preview/2014/05/24__05_08_40/concept%20fighter%201.jpgd426d8cc-0be2-4cb8-8849-9bab5885bc0dLarger.jpg[/img] This empire fighter jet has little armor protection however its speed more then makes up for it. Without the ability to withstand most missiles or energy based weapons this fighters ability to avoid enemy fighters makes it perfect for hit and run tactics. [b]The Tsuki no Kama[/b]= [img]http://nexusarcana.biz/image_files/Saturn_Class.png[/img] The Tsuki no Kama is the space pirate ship and is about the size of a frigate while it may not look like much because of its smaller size and cylinder construction its able to make high speed maneuvers to avoid fire and when in combat situations it can expand panels on the side of the ship to open up the weapon compartments as well as the antenna for the electronic warfare. (keep in mind this is the average size of most pirate ships with a few being larger for better armor protection or smaller for better maneuverability this ship is the best of both) [b] Luxury ships[/b]= [img]http://images-cdn.perfectworld.com/arc/67/aa/67aaa38d71eec7087d2dd2e6794cbac11401908299.png[/img] This is a luxury cruiser while they all come in many varieties these are the ones pirates go after because they hold more "exclusive" clientele and as a result will have much to plunder from basically just jewelry boxes just waiting for the taking. [b]Average space shuttle[/b]= [img]http://exospace.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/p0.jpg[/img] This is a common planet to space shuttle meant to take average people from the surface of the planet to a space port and as such are just simple transporters for everyday use. [/hider] [hider=the Empire] the empire also known as the great dominion is the reining super power in interstellar control. As an empire they have many planets and systems under their control mainly due to their ability to produced their warships and fighters. They have a reining monarchy controlling the empire. Their home planet is known as morganian for the morganian family line which has given the planet its name their castle is something of beauty to behold compared to their brutish military force [img]http://static.hdw.eweb4.com/media/wallpapers_1920x1080/fantasy/1/1/lakeside-futuristic-castle-fantasy-hd-wallpaper-1920x1080-2075.jpg[/img] [/hider] [hider=the blue jewel planet] The blue jewel planet is simply that a planet in one of the frontier systems that has given the home to all races of space farers (Think of it like earth) Also as a frontier planet it is home to many of the interstellar space ports for all ships to dock and get repairs [/hider]
