Malevolence II [+]

The Rangers feel VERY apprehensive about the darkness they feel from the ship. Kai will probably take the lead on this one. Jack will probably have a stare down with Grievous while Phil just makes friends with some of the B1's aboard. Asami will probably be very standoffish against Sinnali as she doesn't like the dark and broody girl, especially being dark and broody around Kai. Jay is just not happy on such a dark and dank ship, especially with nobody to entertain with his antics.

And I would like to think that ship is pretty clean, hardly a dank cave. The internals definitely hue to darker coloration though, despite the sufficient lighting. lol

<Snipped quote by Lewascan2>

I always assumed that as a Dac design the lighting was lower as underwater species would be used to lower levels of light and hues of colour

@Sir Lucario

I should probably clarify -in case the "other ship" you meant is the Malevolence, that the Malevolence has not actually landed on the planet yet. They have just "parked" a bit further out in space from the actual atmosphere, close to and in full view of Coruscant but not actually diving straight through/past the Republic blockade that is still in the process of bombarding the "problem area" at/around the Jedi Temple.

<Snipped quote by Lewascan2>

Can the Malevolence actually land?

<Snipped quote by Lord Wraith>

Depends on where it wants to land and if it should land at all. Because yeah, it's "fucking huge", to say the least. It's also a battleship in intent and role, so to be honest, even if it has permission, it's unlikely the Malevolence will ever actually land on Coruscant physically and will just act as orbital artillery. From a practical standpoint, neither Sinnali or Grievous is willing to risk landing and having Replicators board them anyway. At most, they will send landing craft or bombers and such down to the surface physically, but there's no way the Malevolence is going to risk a hostile takeover. All it takes is one stowaway to accidentally bring the threat back to their own universe, assuming the Replicators consider that kind of patience.

@Lewascan2 Oops. I will fix that now.

<Snipped quote by Sir Lucario>

To clarify again, given that this is Star Wars, the Republic blockade is presumably in orbit, in space. It's not possible to be right next to them and actually physically land on the planet. And to be honest, I'm not actually clear on if the PCs actually have permission to go down there yet until @Sep chimes in on exactly where we are supposed to be gathering first on arrival.

@Sep
Alright finished my character sheet. I decided to play around with the timeline more, so instead of being pre-arriving on Earth, this version was rebuilt with the help of humanity. I've also greatly changed up who the actual crew are. Let me know if anything needs changing.

History of the Ship:
Since before humanity had kept history, the civil war of Cybertron had been waged. The freedom minded Autobots struggled against the massive forces of the Supremacist Decepticons. For Autobot leader Optimus Prime, the thought of the war leaving his home world of Cybertron was terrifying. However over centuries of conflict, the planet fully ran out of natural resources. Coupled with the many recent defeats the Autobots had endured, Optimus made the hard decision to abandon Cybertron.

Using what little resources they had left, the Autobots constructed several Vanguard-class ships. Taking command of the main ship, known as the Ark, Optimus Prime led the Autobot exodus from Earth. Each of the Vanguard ships went in a different direction, hoping to find a new home for the Autobots. After a few years of finding planets already claimed, the Autobots had lucked out and found Earth. Unfortunately this was at the same time that Megatron found them with his capital ship the Nemesis. A battle ensued in which several Decepticons boarded the Ark.

The battle would end when both ships crashed into the Earth, putting everyone into stasis. They would remain in this state until 1984 when Mount St. Helens blew, reactivating the Ark. The few Decepticons who were aboard the Ark fled to find the Nemesis and reactivate their fellow soldiers. A secret war would quickly commence, the Cybertronians fighting in the shadows.

Eventually the people of Earth would become aware of the war and join the Autobot side. This new Autobot-Earth Alliance would push the Decepticons off the planet. Optimus Prime would follow after Megatron, attempting to capture him to force and end to the war. That was six months ago.

Now with both Optimus Prime and Megatron missing, a lull has happened in the war. Wishing to figure out what is going on, Bumblebee, the new commander of a rebuilt Ark, sets out for space to find the truth. The only problem is that he almost immediately runs into Daniel Jackson.

Notable Crew:

Commanding Officer - Bumblebee [+]

Originally one of the more junior officers aboard the Ark when it launched, Bumblebee quickly made a name for himself as a reliable soldier. Once the Autobots awoke on Earth, Bumblebee immediately became a favorite among the Humans. When the Autobot-Earth Alliance was formed, Optimus Prime made Bumblebee the Commanding Officer of the newly rebuilt Ark.

First Officer - Arcee [+]

A legendary warrior among the Autobots, Arcee is one of the few Transformers who decided to declare a gender. Arcee would travel the galaxy, fighting as many Decepticons as possible. She would lead one of the larger Autobot remnant factions, one that reunited with the main Autobot army during the battle of Autobot City on Earth. Now an integral part of the Autobot-Earth Alliance, Arcee was given the rank of First Officer aboard the rebuilt Ark.

Chief Tactical Officer - Kup [+]

One of the oldest Autobots, he was not a part of the original crew who came to Earth aboard the Ark. Instead he fought the long fight against the Decepticon army across the galaxy. After the abandonment of Cybertron, Kup would work as a resistance fighter against the Decepticon Empire. When the news that Optimus Prime was still alive came out, Kup and his crew immediately headed to Earth. There he would be incorporated into the Autobot-Earth Alliance. Refusing to retire, Kup managed to get himself made Chief Tactical Officer aboard the Ark.

Chief Medical Officer - Ratchet [+]

Once a promising medical student back on Cybertron, Ratchet would become the Chief Medical Officer of the Ark during its first flight. After awakening on Earth, Ratchet would work with the Earth governments to develop new medical technology. He would essentially retire from the Cybertronian War, instead keeping Transformers and Humans healthy. When word came out that Optimus Prime was missing, Ratchet immediately volunteered to resume his post on the Ark to find him.

Chief Engineer - Perceptor [+]

A scientist of many different disciplines, Perceptor is knowledgeable in countless areas. This level of knowledge made him an ideal recruit for both sides during the Cybertronian War. However, after much research, Perceptor would choose to join the Autobots. After the abandoning of Cybertron, Perceptor would be captured by the Decepticons and forced to make weapons for them. Perceptor would eventually be rescued by some Autobots on their way to Earth. There Perceptor would aid humanity with countless life improvements. However, Perceptor would wish for a change and apply to be the Chief Engineer aboard the Ark.

Helmsman - Hot Rod [+]

One of the younger Autobots, Hot Rod doesn’t remember much about Cybertron. Instead he remembers fighting Decepticons, first on his own, and then under Kup’s leadership. Their little Autobot unit would become a thorn in the side of the Decepticon Empire. Eventually his crew would head to Earth where Optimus Prime was said to be. Hot Rod would make quick friends with the Humans, especially the Witwicky family. Hot Rod would then be completely surprised when Optimus made him Helmsman of the Ark, trusting in the young Autobot.

Chief of Security - Grimlock [+]

Part of a crew of Cybertronian mercenaries known as the Dynobots, Grimlock played both sides of the Cybertronian War. That was until his ship crashed onto Earth, landing in a place known as the Savage Land, a lost land of Dinosaurs who didn’t go extinct. The Dynobots would take alternate forms to match the Dinosaurs, only to be bombed from orbit by a Decepticon ship. Heavily damaged, the Dynobots would go into stasis. That was until they were reactivated by Optimus Prime. Grimlock had received extensive damage to his neural circuits, drastically changing his personality. This new Grimlock would join the Autobots, and eventually made Chief of Security aboard the Ark.

Science Officer - Jetfire [+]

A well renowned scientist on Cybertron, Jetfire was friends with an air marshal named Starscream. This friend would convince Jetfire to join a new political party called the Decepticons. However, Jetfire would quickly learn that the Decepticons were violent and planning to take over Cybertron. Jetfire would escape the Decepticon army by spilling important battle plans to the Autobots. After that Jetfire would leave Cybertron to pursue science. That eventually brought him to Earth where he was studying Humas when the Ark reactivated, awakening the Autobots in stasis. Jetfire would eventually join the Autobots, before helping build Autobot City. In recent years he has also helped the Autobot-Earth Alliance, being made the Science Officer of the rebuilt Ark.

Navigator - Wreck-Gar [+]

From the planet Junkion, the dumping ground for most of the galaxy, Wreck-Gar is a Junkion, an off-shoot of the Cybertronians. Raised with countless broadcasts from different planets, Wreck-Gar is a massive container of pop culture knowledge and other random trivia. Only discovered by Cybertronians in the last decade, Junkions are ruled by different tribes. Wreck-Gar was the leader of one such tribe, the only one to accept their distant cousins. Wreck-Gar and his wife Rum-Maj decided to leave Junkion heading to Earth. While the Junkions had initial problems with fitting in, they proved themselves useful by the sheer array of random knowledge about the galaxy. In fact Optimus Prime requested that Wreck-Gar serve as Navigator aboard the Ark.

Communications Officer - Blaster [+]

Once manning the biggest radio station on Cybertron, Blaster was eventually dragged into the war. With his knowledge of countless alien languages, Blaster was a key asset for the Autobots. Blaster would spend most of the war on different planets away from Cybertron, accruing information. Like many of the surviving Autobots, the news that Optimus Prime was alive drew Blaster to Earth. He would be a key member in building the Autobot-Earth Alliance. Once the Ark was rebuilt, Blaster, who still wanted to travel the stars, found his way into becoming the ship’s Communications Officer.

<Snipped quote by Lewascan2>

Sorry work been hectic which is why I posted what I did and then haven't been around much. Also sleep. Sleep is important. If they choose to land that is their choice, however once I have time to post as Sam she might open comms and recommend un-landing.

We'll have the resolute going simply cause I like it's name.

<Snipped quote by Martian>

I'm not familiar enough with transformers to say for sure but can 300 fit on such a small ship?

Is it okay if I throw in a late submission?
