Something interesting about myself:
So I’m a massive fanboy of Rooster Teeth, specifically the Red vs blue franchise, and I may have the entire show on DVD.

Ship Name:
The USLS Oblivion

Ship Dimensions:
The oblivion has a length of 1,200 meters, a height of 300 and a width of about 150m

Universe Background:
The Human race was interested in the rapid expansion of the Milky Way galaxy. as more planets were colonised the Outer colony seemed to Grow further and further from the System of Elgamo. After a time the outer colonies slowly grew angry, feeling mistreated the rebelled Of course the insurrection started off with small little raids on government Transports and transport vessels and soon grew to planet-wide riots. Soon most of the outer rim was In turmoil. The United Space Legion (AKA USL) was set up to retain peace in these outer colonies Their military presence patrolled the trade routes and acted as an official Force of law in space, Whilst their Special Offices of Space command (AKA SOSCOM) ‘dealt’ with the militia leaders and kept the Outer rim under control. It is in this era of ‘peace’ that the Ship Oblivion was built.

Crew Complement:
Composed of about 1,100 men, the Oblivion is compiled mainly of scientists, roughly about 600 about 400 legionaries including engineers , and about 90 troops and 10 officers

Ship Description:
The Heavy Weight Research Ship; codename OBLIVION was originally intended as a heavyweight cruiser designed to quell the Forces of the insurrectionists. Once SOSCOM dealt with the insurrectionists the ship’s purpose changed. SOSCOM took control of the ship’s production, changing it from a heavy frigate into a research vessel. The Heavy cannons changed into Long distance radars and science arrays. Although the majority of the weaponry was altered to equipment, the main cannon An Anti Particle Accelerator Cannon,Known to the Crew as an APAC, as well as a few magnetic accelerators On each side. The Ship still contains the multiple hangar bays planned originally, but now are fitted for landing craft and a few small fighters. The space in the ship is a very sterile environment, and the majority of the lower decks are primarily for Labs and medical bays. Although primarily a research vessel there is still a considerable military force onboard in the form of marines and a couple of squads of Shock troops.

Unique Capabilities:

As an experimental research ship, the Oblivion's shields and defence are much higher than your standard cruiser. But it’s fire power is massively decreased, It’s the main cannon, although very powerful would only be a short blast and requires too much energy to power to fire constantly in a firefight

due to its size it isn't a very manoeuvrable ship but it has a fantastic straight line speed due to its experimental engines.

Its advanced sensor array allows for the ship to detect extremely distant disturbances in space-time, as well as determine substances via spectrometers.

History of the Ship:
Before being taken into the wormhole the Oblivion was assigned roughly 2000 astronomical, and physics research papers to complete on it’s 15 celestial year mission. Each paper having its own lab time, and 3 scientists assigned to it, once a paper was completed the scientists would then transfer to assist a different project. The latest Mission Was headed up by Kora stone, a budding physicist in the field of neutron stars, her latest paper being based upon the degradation of the neutron layer. Her research lead the Oblivion to the system Alpha hejalinas-99B When an unexpected gravitational disturbance appeared.

Some Important People:

• Captain Raiden Korten;
  At first glance, Raiden wouldn't be considered your average military officer. An outside of the box kind of guy Allows him to make strong well thought out decisions rather than taking orders at a first glance. He Often is known to situations into his own hands as he is a strong believer in the saying; "If you can't get a job done, Do it yourself!"
• Executive Officer Miles Cantar;
  Miles is the Steadfast military brain, She worked through the ranks of the USL and was accepted into the SOSCOM officer academy. Trained in hand to hand combat she prefers to head up the ground missions on possible inhabitable planets or boarding parties on Pirate ships. Often used as a second opinion for Raiden in times of distress.
• SOSCOM Science officer Alexander Haines;
  Often Referred to as DOC By the crew, he Is the brains on Oblivion's Mission into the Deep space void between the galaxies. It is his paper that the mission is originally based upon. Although the science officer he often dabbles in the Engineering of the ship, as it is controlled by an experimental Energy source allowing the ship to travel at thousands of times the speed of causality, well that's what they hope.
• SOSCOM Head engineer Steve Thirlwell;
  Dr. T Is the headstrong leader of the engineering department in the oblivion. Good friends with Alexander to two often converse about options of increasing efficiency and increasing the jump range of the ship. Although there are 'disagreements' between some of the science staff and himself about the owner of some the equipment on board.

Something interesting about myself: I like swords.

Ship Name:

Vorascant

Universe Background:

Once upon a time there was a group known as the Trade Order. Formed after the great wars and encompassing most of known space, the formation of the Order heralded a millennia of peace and prosperity. Yet in that beginning they sowed the seeds of their own destruction. Messengers were sent to all known worlds, to have them join the Order itself. One of those planets was a desert world orbiting a red star. There they found a thriving civilization known as the Advent.

The Advent initially rebuffed the request to join the Trade Order, and in turn the emissaries decided to send a team to research the Advent. What they leaned horrified them. Cerebral Integration Technologies, unrestricted biological experimentation, strange forms of collectivism, and the wholesale usage of countless neurochemicals, practices that were taboo to the Trade Order, and when they found out the Order voted overwhelmingly, seized control of the local area, and expelled the advent from Order space.

Driven into exile, a scar was created on the advent psyche. They devoted all their efforts to a quest for revenge, developing their technology to new heights and using all their resources to create an armada. Then when the time was right they struck, hitting the newly formed Trader Emergency Coalition's flank and beginning a bloody thirty year war that would see no peace, but rather the crumbling of loyalty within the Advent itself, as some wondered whether the Unity itself was corrupt as a result of this drive for revenge.

Crew Complement:

As a Mothership type vessel, the Vorascant has a compliment of 3,800 people, many of whom are to be used for colonization efforts on worlds that have been inducted into the Advent. The members of the Advent are human, but can have varying amounts of artificial implants to augment their psionic abilities.

Ship Description:



The Vorascant is a Progenitor class Mothership, designed by the Advent to travel the stars and induct new converts into the will of the Unity, especially on those planets who have up until this point been involved in the conflict. They are some of the most in tune with the collective will of the Unity, making them uniquely suited for their mission.

Capable of supporting up to three squadrons of strike craft, the Vorascant is equipped with multiple banks of pulse lasers and plasma turrets for defense and offensive firepower. It is also capable of orbital bombardment, though it itns't particularly fact when acting in an isolated capacity.

Defensively, the Advent have light ships with relatively weak hulls that are held in place telekinetically via PsiTech (the name for the Advent's psionically integrated technology), their defenses based on sophisticated shielding systems that can take quite a bit of punishment and keep on going. The ship itself is designed to look like a brain, and navigation is provided via those with Psionic abilities.

As far as power is concerned, the ship relies on cold fusion for basic power, but it also has an antimatter reactor which is used when in combat situations, or to power the phase drive.

Unique Capabilities:

Aside from the ability to colonize planets for the Advent, the Vorascant has access to several interesting abilities.

Due to their strong connection to the Unity and the psionic abilities of those aboard, the Vorascant is able to capture the minds of those on destroyed ships who had been connected to the Unity, channeling their knowledge and experience to the crew of a similar vessel, so they may benefit rather than having it lost.

The Vorascant is also capable of channeling energy from itself to allied ships within a certain radius, allowing it to assist in recharging their shields for a short duration of time.

Lastly it has a most peculiar ability. using the psionic abilities of the crew, it is able to take the pain inflicted on a ship being attacked (the exhaustion and suffering of the crew aboard and whatever pain they may feel from successful damage) and project it onto the minds of all ships within a certain radius around the Vorascant itself. this cannot be kept up continuously, but it provides a short term advantage in combat.

History of the Ship:

The Vorascant was built during the second phase of the war, a period where starbases were being constructed to hold vital sectors, and there was an all around stiffening of defenses. She was devoted to securing said defensive lines, enlisting those planets which had not yet joined into the Unity, and taking part in the occasional offensive against the TEC to straighten out weak spots in the line and infringe upon their territory.

It was only within the past few years that the Vorascant saw real action, the sundering of the Unity redrawing battle lines and influence, and they were sent out to reclaim territory not only from their external foes, but from the internal ones as well. Indeed, it was when they were responding to a call for aid on a desert world that was being attacked by a significant force that the Vorascant was swept away. They didn't even realize that anything was wrong, using the wormhole for a short cut to the battlezone.

Some Important People:

Scryer Alera Vesting - the ships navigator and guide amongst the stars, using her psionic powers to see the path that leads them onwards.

Psintegrate Lorana Derres - Essentially serving as the ships weapons officer, she coordinates the Psintegrates that man the defenses and weaponry of the Vorascant when in combat situations.

Coalescent Carina Hamp - The captain of the Vorscant, her word is seen as undeniable truth and law, and she commands the oyalty of the crew with a strong had and her PsiTech abilities.

Manufacturer: The Guidemasters
Length: 230 meters
Width: 95 meters
Height: 80 meters

This organic bioship was created by the Exalted Hands of the Guidemasters, crafted unlike any other ship before it. The Wayward Step is a living vessel that links its entire crew through a neural interface. A capable volunteer has willingly given up her identity to become The Bridger. She is now symbiotic with the ship, forming a bridge between it and the crew. Because even though the crew are linked directly with The Wayward Step, a mediator must be present, one who psychically consults with its consciousness to keep it docile. If tempered beyond control, The Wayward Step can develop a mind of its own and operate independently.

Unique Capabilities: The Wayward Step has the ability to morph its shape and function to accommodate different environments like land, sea, and of course, space. It has the guile of a living creature, therefore its overall patterns of movement is nothing like a conventional spaceship. Due to its bio-engineered makeup, its system cannot be hacked into with standard tech. All foreign bodies that come in contact with the ship are immediately detected by The Bridger and alerted to the crew. Its defense systems include psychically generated shields made by The Bridger, which are then amplified by the ship's consciousness. Should hull integrity be compromised, it has the ability to reallocate materials for temporarily patching up damaged areas. Farming mineral resources from asteroid belts, planets, and even ships, will then be required to maintain overall ship integrity. Weapons systems consist mainly of plasma cannons, but its bread and butter lies within its ability to "infect" other vessels. When in direct contact with other ships, it can detach a small piece of itself to roam freely for a short period of time. In that duration it can be used to compromise ventilation or hydroponics systems, and through the assistance of The Bridger within a limited distance of the ship, can infect living organisms and compromise immune systems.

Her former life and name are no more. She is simply known as The Bridger. She, who is one with the ship, floats within the amniotic fluid of the Guidesphere above.

Like the rest of the crew, Nilu was a test subject of the Exalted Hand. With the help of The Bridger, they escaped from their captors and boarded The Wayward Step. Shipmaster Nilu is the only person with a naval space fleet background.
