@Lewascan2 can I just assume that I can drop my peeps on the Malevolence?

I lied.

My post is now most likely coming Thursday evening.

Unforgiveable. But same for Hammond stuff

Yeah, feel free.

I lied again.

@Sep had Picard engage with Sam.

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Thank you, they'll be a very happy couple.

@Mao Mao so all our ships (bar one) got here by the intervention of an Ascended being known as Daniel who brought everyone together.

Would Daniel have done so without asking? Just pluck the ship out in an attempt to save them? Or would he have personally asked for assistance (or tell a little white lie)?

Daniel Jackson, the ascended Human from Earth in the universe Sixth originated caught Sixth leaving their own universe and has went on a quest to recruit various ships and peoples from across the multiverse to come together to try and rid the Star Wars Galaxy of this menace.

It was an active recruitment, they know. We had a lil' heart to heart in a 'World Between Worlds' to meet before we came to this reality.

Except for the Stargazer who is only here due to Q's shenanigans.

He just wanted to cheer Picard up after Data's death.

Mmmmm, interesting.

Might either throw out a sister ship of the Asuka from SBY 2205 (rather than a planet busting wave motion gun, it fires missiles that creates shields).

Or, perhaps, an Asgard O'Neill Class Battlecruiser. Maybe even have Thor himself on board. After all, it's the Replicators we're up against.

And, since the Hammond is here, this Asgard ship would be from a parallel universe where the Asgard don't commit collective suicide.

Writing internal Sangheili politics is hard

So, uh, on top of what I said earlier... how does a dimensional submarine sound?

I'm concerned that it might end up being a bit broken due to its dimensional submersion, but on the other hand, other ships probably won't even mind getting hit by a few of its torpedoes due to shields.

honestly it looks pretty weak, esp with how small it is, but hitting a Covenant CAS-class Assault Carrier with torpedos would quickly get an Urpeon-pattern lance aimed at your ship (in the business, this is known as Not Good)

Rationalizing how different weapon and defense systems from various realities is one thing that makes my brain hurt.

Everyone wants their vessel to stand a chance in a fight.

Thankfully quite a few of the ships in this game so far have close enough to peer-threat level of technology we can ignore differences.

Except for the Avenger, I feel sorry for the Avenger.

We'll have to avenge the Avenger when it falls.

Indeed... but it would be an excellent scout.

But, well, I might just do an Asgard O'Neill or an SBY Andromeda Class Battleship.

Personally, I’m not worrying about it too much. I’ve discussed what the Malevolence could do with Sep, and firepower or not, basically all it has going for it in the capacity of a warship against this enemy is the Ion Cannon, and even then, that won’t directly work on the Replicators until it’s properly attuned/modified with help from people that know what actually hurts these things, like the Hammond.

The real big guns of the Malevolence are its commanders. Grievous is operating on Legends/2003 feats, and Sinnali is a top-tier Force user, again operating on Legends Force abilities more than Clone Wars/the movies.

So, as far as a role for this ship, I expect the Malevolence will spend a lot of time doing little but preparing to strike at a critical moment, collaborating with other ships to make sure it can do so effectively. Grievous will probably manage that. Meanwhile, Sinnali will probably join the ground teams in investigating that way, perhaps playing body-guard to the more tech savvy. Or those roles might be switched; depends on how I’m feeling when a moment to choose arrives.

History of the Ship:

The Avalon was once one of the automated "Andromeda Black Berserk" Class Battleships churned out of the Time Fault Factory as part of an effort to defend the Sol System from the overwhelming forces that Gatlantis was bringing to bear. It did not bear a name; rather, it was simply identified by a registry number, part of a series of ships that were fully expected to be destroyed in battle against the White Comet Empire.

However, its fate would be much unlike its sister ships, who were almost completely wiped out in the battles to defend Earth and Mars. When the Yamato merged with the energies of the extra dimensional entity known as 'Teresa' in order to deactivate the Ark of Destruction and prevent it from destroying Earth as well as the rest of the universe, the Avalon was at drydock over Mars. It had suffered catastrophic damage, but its automated systems were able to drag it to safety. There, the Avalon was repaired, its captain witnessing the end of the Ark of Destruction as the precursor installation was completely destroyed by a singularity in its heart.

In the years that followed, the Avalon would be staffed by a crew, one composed of both Humans and Gamilans. It would also be given the duty of exploring the Milky Way in search for suitable colony worlds as well as potential allies and useful technology. It was on a mission in the Galactic Core, however, when its fate was once again upended: Teresa, the same extradimensional goddess that empowered the Yamato to save the universe, called upon them at the behest of yet another ascended being. They were to help save another universe from destruction, and so, as honor demands it, they agreed.

After all, they can't have Yamato have all the fun.
