History of the Ship:

The Langford was built as a self-sufficient exploration vessel. As such, it has manufacturing capabilities to sustain itself without a logistics chain. Her oroginal mission was to build alliances in her home universe.

Unfortunately, due to various screw-ups and background string pulling, she ended up with a crew that was made half from geniuses that could build terrifying instruments of destruction, and half from would-be war criminals wishing a motherfucker would.

As such, when the Langford stumbled upon a small Lucian operation while attempting to contact their first world, they ended up obliterating a sizeable space force and capturing as many enemy vessels as all previous prizes of the entire Stargate program combined, making heavy use of chemical and nuclear weapons.

Shotrly after, the Langford responded to a Lucian occupation of Langara, where they destroyed two Ha'Tak despite Lucian plants sabotaging the weapons systems and liberating the planet.

During the last altrecation, other plants assassinated dr. Falk, who was the original host to the Tok'Ra Vanja, and wounded both Idalia, the original host of Ariadne, as well as Colonel Black. Vanja managed to find new host in Dr. berg, whereas Ariadne left Idalia, whose wounds were beyond repair, for the Colonel who recovered thanks to the Tok'Ra's boost to healing.

Afterwards, the Langford was recalled to Earth - Officially for refits and to have the wounded crew recover, although the IOA actually intended to regain control of their own ship from the hamds of the ‘Space corsairs'.

While en-route though, the Colonel was approached by a familiar face. An ascended dr. Jackson from a reality alternate to their own requested their presence for a special transdimensional mission, for which he needed 'a ship full of nukes and people not afraid to use them'. Needless to say, the crew agreed to help.

Unique Technology:
- Transporters
- Anti-replicator weaponry
- Goa'Uld healing devices

Λ - Lambda

Λ (LAMBDA)

Envoy of Peace

Theme

HOME UNIVERSE / NAME OF FRANCHISE:

Coroz / Endless Space 2 (Wiki Link)

SHIP CLASS:

Coordinator (Wiki Link)

ROLE:

Scout / Infiltrator / Saboteur / Adaptable

DESCRIPTION:

Visual References

Side View

Similar to other vessels of the Riftborn people, the ship itself is Riftborn, or more specifically, nodules which had formed into the shape most suitable for space travel. This "ship" in particular - Lambda - bears the silhouette of a blaster sidearm when viewed from the side. As is common with their species, Lambda is colored ivory-white with gray, gold, and red highlights.

PHYSICAL SIZE:

300 meters (984 feet) (Default) / Variable

ARMAMENT / COMPLEMENT:

As a living creature composed of shapeshifting silicon-based organisms, Lambda is able to learn, adapt, and mimic weapons of other non-organic ships. By default, it's "equipped" with several plasma-based armaments.

HISTORY OF THE SHIP:

After the destruction of Coroz, their home universe, by an all-consuming plague, the surviving remains of these amorphous shapeshifting silicon organisms were forced to scatter themselves amongst the multiverse. Most of them ended up in the 'Endless Universe', a plane of existence similar in concept to the one Star Wars' galaxies belong to, something that the Riftborn found utterly horrifying. Coming from a dimension where time, shapes, and thoughts fundamentally operated in a vastly different way, the Riftborns were forced to adapt as returning was no longer an option.

Through sheer tenacity and patience, they eventually managed to build a new home for themselves in the Endless Universe. Still, the scars of losing their birthplace never faded away and thus, when they heard the call of one Daniel Jackson, the Riftborn answered his summons as the Replicators reminded them of the entity responsible for Coroz's destruction. No one else should experience the same fate as they did, not even their worst enemies. This time, they'd not flee, they'd fight.

This was how the Riftborn Lambda found themselves travelling through the veils of the multiverse to arrive at the Star Wars Galaxy.

NOTABLE CREW:

❖Λ (Lambda):

Visual References

Front View

Lambda is the ship and the ship is Lambda. For the convenience of communicating with other beings, they created an avatar bearing the shape of what they consider as a 'regal and inspiring diplomat'.

UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY:

Shapeshifting silicon-based living organism capable of learning and adapting as a person would gather knowledge by studying.

CREW SIZE:

"We are Lambda."

FACTION / OPERATOR / OWNER:

Riftborn

TRIVIA:

❖ Color Code: f1f1f1
❖ Riftborn do not communicate among themselves as organics do, but for convenience, one may address Lambda as "They/Them".

History of the Ship: Forced out their own universe the Cylons used a new tactic when the nukes, Baystars and other efforts failed to take down the antiquated but resilient Battlestar, its heavy ablative armour and system redundancy designed to withstand nuclear attack and hit back. Its systems being so old they could not be hacked and disabled like her modern sisters.

The new weapon lured the Battestar into an area of space laced with rare elements and executed an ambush from inside the remains of a fleet of civilian vessels they had destroyed prior, luring them in using the distress calls. The moment they made to jump out and escape the trap the second trap activated sending their jump drive at the moment of firing out of control. They assumed the event tore the ship apart but something guided them to a new fate, forcing the crew to face a new apocalypse as they had narrowly outran the first and second Cylon Wars.

Joining the Expedition they had no choice, the new world was facing grave peril and their home was already destroyed, They had to fight for the one they found themselves in. Her crew is battered, bruised but proud and the ship has not let them down yet, so they will not fail her.

The Battestar is determined to redeem and earn its honour back after the 2nd Cylon Wars. They may die but its better than dieing waiting for the enemy to come for them.

Her hull bears still it's battered and burned red markings proudly, it's hull plates are burned, battered and dented but solid. It might look an a little care worn outaide and in its corridors but it's systems function well.

While the second of her kind, the Kuun-Lans crew was made up of the left-overs from the crew selected for her sister ship. She gained however because the flaws and mistakes made on the Faal-Corum were fixed and resolved with the Kuun-Lan.

In the chaotic days after the Hiigarans regained their homeworld, the Kuun-Lan accidentally awoken a great enemy, known as the Beast. In the ensuing Galaxy spawning conflict the Kuun-Lan worked its way up from simple mining vessel, to a mighty warship. Uniting Hiigarans and the Taiidan Republic, when she returned to Hiigara after defeating the Beast she was respected and honoured the the other Kiith.

Astro Mega-timeship

TEMPUS KNIGHTS! READY TO FIGHT!

Name of Ship: Astro Megatimeship
Home Universe/Name of Franchise: Power Rangers
Ship Class: Astro Megaship
Role: Transport/Megazord
Physical Description/Image: A large ship built around it's mostly saucer shaped body, with a visibly distinctive bridge and engines. The ship is mostly blue with red and silver stripes and other decals. It also has a mysterious purple symbol that is located on the front of the ship. It has two distinctive twin laser cannon turrets on the front.
Physical Size (roughly): 100m long, 70m wide and about 50m tall. The ship isn't physically large itself, but almost every inch is ergonomically designed, meaning almost no space is wasted.

2x Missile Launchers

7x Jet Jammers
1x Megatank
7x Tempus-Cycles

1x Wizardactyl Zord

History of the Ship: Millions of years ago, as the Cybertronian Civil War raged, an ancient warrior by the name of "Trypticon" was one of the most cruel and despised titans on the side of the Decepticons. His constant duels against the Autobot Titan "Metroplex" were stuff of legends. However, near the end of the battles on Cybertron, he was locked into his Alt-mode and used as a the Decepticon headquarters for the longest time.

After the end of the Civil War, the Nemesis was captured and put to use as a part of the new Cybertronian Defense Fleet. However, after one battle against the Machine Empire, the Nemesis was left badly damaged with only a mechanic and a janitor as the survivors. It was onto this badly damaged ship that a woman and her two sons found the key to the defence of time itself. Taking the ship to KO-35, it was upgraded with a working Timedrive and shapeshifted to serve as a new Astro-Megaship. Inside Trypticon slept as its body was used to fight against the foe known as Paradoxicus and his Paradox Navy. It wasn't until an incident where they met a creature calling itself "The Last Light" That Trypticon was awakened. Agreeing that Paradoxicus is truly the greatest foe known to anyone, it agreed to continue allowing the Power Rangers to use it as their vessel and helps them, serving somewhat the role of a Carrierzord.
Notable Crew:

Raekar

The mentor for the team, she is Jack's mother. She is a brilliant scientist who is strong of mind and body, but short on attention span. Her romantic escapades are the stuff of legend, having a "little black book" larger than the oxford dictionary. Jack is the result of one of these many escapades and she considers him her greatest creation, alongside the robot that she built called "Philip" who she also treats as her son.

Raekar possesses shapeshifting powers, able to adopt humanoid forms, although her base form is of a bird monster due to an accident when under the mentorship of Zordon.

Jack Panzer

Red Ranger of the team and son of Raekar. Jack is a Captain Marvelous type hero with a completely indomitable will and an absolute need to see and know everything. Becoming a Power Ranger is just another feather in his cap. This dogged determination serves him well as a Ranger. He also seems himself as something of a Zord piloting Ace. A consideration well earned when observing his skill. Since Raekar has been teaching him about Zords and Zord piloting since he was very young. The question of the identity of his father is important to him, but not important enough for him to sacrifice anything important. He loves his mother very much and his question is more curiosity than quest, seeing as his mother was there to raise him where his father wasn't. Even though he doesn't necessarily have the technical know-how to create Zords, he still takes a great interest in it.

He uses the Fenrir Spiritzord

Jay "Jugglo" Stallcup

The Pink ranger of the group, He is the son of Jindrax and Toxica from Wild Force. Being a Duke-Org, he looks mostly human, with blond hair, Asian facial features, but most notably, a long horn on his head. He is very self-conscious about his name "Jugglo" being named after his uncle, hence why he calls himself Jay. Jay's relationship with his parents is good, but they do not approve of him being a Ranger. He is an acrobat by nature, having grown up working with his father in a circus. He is also very good with throwing things, especially knives with deadly accuracy. Ever since joining the Rangers, Jay actually learned to respect his parents more and more, as well as come to embrace his clown-like traits.

He summons the Rhinoceros Beetle Spiritzord

Mele Skinner

The Yellow Ranger of the group, she is the daughter of Jarrod and Camille from Jungle Fury. Mele is a bight, perky and happy-go-lucky girl with a shaggy mane of black hair on her head. She is a little conscious about her tongue as she has a long, chameleon-like tongue like her mother. Mele, despite having a bubbly personality, is actually quite calm and collected when in combat, she is a student of the Pai Zhuq and this shows. She is something of the emotional support of the team, almost like a puppy.

She uses the Roc Spiritzord

Philip H1MKM5P50tRH0GHttM3

The Black Ranger of the group, Philip is a robot built by Raekar using a combination of recovered Machine Empire technology, as well as the Android technology developed by Andrew Hartford. Philip has been with Raekar and Jack for a while, with Jack seeing Philip as his closest friend. Philip has Cameleon technology built into him, using it to assume a human-like form, but when his chameleon field is down, he looks very robotic.

He uses the Rhino-Tank Spiritzord

Asami Shih

The Blue Ranger, she is daughter of Joe Shih and Nadira. She grew up with her loving parents and always wanted to join Time Force. She succeeded and spent time as something of a secondary antagonist, as she was trying to apprehend Raekar, suspecting that she's the one causing all of the problems across time, as Paradoxicus left evidence incriminating Raekar and her Rangers to be the ones responsible. Asami eventually cought up with them and battled the rangers a few times before finally joining them properly after Paradoxicus invaded and conquered Time Force HQ.

She uses the Hydra Spiritzord

Michelle

Michelle is the White Ranger and an Angel from the Realm of Good Magic. She was sent to the Rangers to assist them in the capture of Kai by the Mystic Mother. She is a bit confused by earth customs and is something of the odd one out of the party. She has a mostly egyptian aesthetic to her clothes.

She uses the Sphinx Spiritzord

Kai Axlerod

Kai is the son of Zedd and Rita that they had after being purified by the Z-Wave. He idolized his father, but due to Rita leaving them to become the Mystic Mother when he was young, he gained a resentment towards her. Paradoxicus wanted to recruit Zedd into his army, but where Zedd refused, Kai stepped up, wanting revenge on his mother for abandoning them. Paradoxicus helped Kai unlock his monster form, but Kai wasn't done with just that. He also went to the underworld and contacted Dark Specter, finding out how to create Psycho Rangers. With this knowledge, he fashioned himself a Psycho Goldenizer, allowing him to ascend to Gold Psycho Ranger. He served as antagonist until he rebeled against Paradoxicus and tried to go it alone, but found that he isn't strong enough to defeat him. Badly wounded, he was found by Asami who smuggled him onto the Astro Megatimeship. Nursing him back to health. As Kai is almost back to health, he is abducted by Michell who brought him to Mystic Mother. Mystic Mother argued with him, but eventually manages to trick him into taking a Gold Tempusmorpher that she had fashioned based on Raekar's designs and Solaris Knight's morpher. The Tempusmorpher drove the evil from him and he joins the Tempus Knights as their 7th Ranger.

He utilizes the Tyrannosaurlock, Wizardactyl and Trisorcerer Zords that form the Magisaurus Megazord

Full-Tilt and Wipe-Out

Decepticons that have always served Trypticon. Wipe-Out is a simple janitor who cleans and keeps the master happy. Attempts to communicate with him usually result in the words "Wipe-Out hears ya, Wipe-Out don't care" Meanwhile, Full-Tilt is his polar opposite. Full-Tilt WORSHIPS Trypticon as a cultist with a god. He attends to the masters every need, working in the engine rooms and keeping everything working at full power.

Optional, but helpful:
Unique Technology: Morphing Grid Technology (Special magically powered technology that draws its power from the Morphing Grid)
Although the ship has access to a working Time Drive, its use is heavily restricted due to attempts to change history releasing dangerous amounts of "Paradox Particles" which their enemy Paradoxicus is attempting to compile. Meaning that they CANNOT attempt to go back in time and change something that they were directly involved in.
Crew Size: 51 (Counting the sentient ship)

Along with numerous vehicles she has a substantial ground contingent of 300 Marines. She also plays host to a number of experimental super soldiers.

History of the Ship:

The UNSC Mother of Invention (hull classification symbol: FFG-636), abbreviated to MoI, was a frigate that was utilised by the Office of Naval Intelligence. Launched as a Charon-class light frigate, it was later modified to better serve as the base of operations for Project FREELANCER.

The Mother of Invention first entered service during Operation: TREBUCHET, and provided naval support against Insurgents in the Mid-Rim and Outer Colonies. It took part in operations above Talitsa, Chi Rho, and Victoria, with some of its later assignments centered around protecting freighters that carried food and mineral tithes into the Inner Colonies.

The Mother of Invention was among a number of vessels that were not immediately recalled to fight in the Human-Covenant War, although it would later see some action in the Siege of Drawn before being withdrawn. Instead, in 2533 it was commandeered by ONI for asset and personnel evacuation purposes, where it moved confidential materials away from areas likely to be hit by the Covenant. It was engaged or compromised on several occasions, although it was able to successfully fulfil this mission for more than a decade.

In 2548, the Mother of Invention was requisitioned as the flagship of Project FREELANCER, where it simultaneously acted as the program's primary research facility, primary training facility, command centre, and garrison. Shortly after the agents began being assigned experimental technology.

While a brief engagement, this abrupt battle allowed its relatively-green crew to become acclimatised away from simulations and trials into a life-or-death battle.

Barely had the scars of battle been repaired, 'Corvus' was recalled to be attached to the Grand Alliance Fleet, headed by Admiral Honor Harrington. To Captain Hammond's surprise, as soon as the Fleet slipped its moorings for the Sol campaign against the League, the battlecruiser was detatched from the fleet and sent on assignment elsewhere.

History of the Ship:

The Normandy and it's crew have been at the forefront of their universe's fight against their own great filter in the form of genocidal machines. Theirs are quite a bit larger than the replicators, however this crew has experience fighting theasses of their thralls.

The ship is unique in its stealth capabilities, which are good enough to fool the sensors of the Geth, a local machine race. It is also quite powerful and durable, having bested a Collector cruiser in a 1v1 combat and survived a suicide mission to the galactic core.

After said mission, the ship, originally built by the organization Cerberus, has been retrofitted by the Alliance, just before the Reapers attacked en-masse.

Daniel has plucked them out of their universe on their way to Mars after Earth fell. As such, the ship is heavily undercrewed and lackin it'd usual complement of alien specialists.

Unique Technology:
- Stealth systems
- Kinetic barriers

Da Eskape Plan

Da Eskape Plan

Home Universe/Name of Franchise: warhammer 40k
Ship Class: Viper-class Scout Sloop converted into a grunt assault ship
Role: Boarding ship + troop transport
Physical Size (roughly): ~1km ~0.5km abeam
armaments:
Gunz battery turrets (2x): random assortment of slug throwers and missile launchers that can either underperform (due to misfire) or over perform (due to ork faith) entirely at random, causing the ships firepower to fluctuate moment to moment in battle
Prow Gunz (x1): forward facing assembly of the above to be used while charging for a ram
Boarding torpedoes: short range dumbfire rockets who’s payload consist of boys and grots rather than explosives
Klaw: set of 4 massive blades attached to the front of the ship, used for ramming
Tractor Field: Massively increase the gravitational imprint of a vessel several times larger than itself, which acts like a crude tractor beam, dragging small ships towards it, and making it better at sticking to larger ones.
Boarding chamber: a large chamber behind the armored ram, with earlocks leading out of it, used to either leap from the ship to an implied foe, or to rapidly unload troops onto the ground should the ship land.

Ground detachment:

Every single ork boy is a warrior above all else, and all gretchen can and often are press ganged into fighting. Most battle with crude but effective guns and melee weapons, but there are many ways a boy might specialize, such as into a sneaky Kommando, monstrous cavalry riding Beast Snagga, a jet pack equipped storm boy, big game hunting Tankbusta, or a dakka obsessed Flash Git.

Orks generally use a lot of vehicles and mechs when they can, but most of those aren't good for boarding actions, so the ship wasn’t made with space for them in mind, meaning that part of the freeboota’s armory was abandoned when Da Eskape Plan was put into action. The two exceptions where the Battlewagon Daisy, Mista Nailbrain’s pride and joy, that he just could not leave behind, and a number of killa kans who were just barely able to squeeze onboard due to only being a bit bigger than their boss.

Replacements for the rest of their armory will need to be rebuilt, or, more likely, looted from the locals.

History of the Ship:
Da Eskape Plan started life as a Viper-class Scout Sloop of the imperium of man, but at some point got lost in the warp, and ended up as part of a space hulk, a drifting amalgamation of various ships all smashed together and lost in space. The hulk was discovered, and then commandeered, by the infamous freeboota Kaptin Bluddflagg after his final rampage of an adventure across his old stomping ground of Subsector Aurelia, during which he saved it from annihilation as a result of completing a contract to kill the space marine turned demon prince who was in the midst of causing said annihilation.

Space hulk are a grand prize for any ork, able to carry masses of boys and unpredictable in their movements, perfect for sneaking past defenses and hitting sweet, lootable, worlds, something the kaptain did a whole lot of. He also did a dash of mercenary work on the side just for the fun of it, which went well till they kicked the wrong tomb world at the behest of the adeptus mechanicus and got overwhelmed by the undead robotic necrons that swarmed out of it.

This is where Da Eskape Plan comes in, as it was exactly what its name implies, a kunnin plan cooked up by the Kaptain’s first mate (Mista Nailbrain) for just this kind of dire situation. Having ripped out all the useless scouting equipment to fit more engines, and suitably orkifying its loadout, the ship was intended to be used as a glorified escape pod, a function which it served perfectly.

The kaptain, his important subordinates, and as many boys, grots and snottlings as could fit crammed into the vessel, after which fired its own engines, and blasted clear out of the spacehulk before the necrons finished molecularly disassembling it. The necrons proved sticky however, pursuing Da Eskape Plan across the stars, till the kaptain was offered a way out by a certain godly entity. Of course, rather than just take the deal as was, Bluddflagg was sure to drive a hard bargain, and got a promise of a right proper scrap with some crunchy metal bugs and a chance of looting whatever the bugs hadn’t converted into themselves yet out of it as well.

Unique Technology/Traits:
Ork teknologee: ork technology operates more because the orks believe it will than because of conventional physics, seeming to work far better than its ramshackled construction would indicate (though they still are prone to malfunction). This makes Orks masters of salvage, as broken parts are easily recycled into ‘working’ ones, and an ork mekboy only needs to sort of have an idea of how foreign technology works to start working with it.

Tellyportas: Orks have mastered (with the odd mishap) the art of teleportation, capable of producing short range personal teleporters, or linked teleporter platforms which can be used to transport orks across interplanetary, though not inter stellar, distances. The erratic nature of these devices makes their use by species with less robust physique ill advisable.

Void Shields (possibly non-functional due to the lack of a warp to divert energy into)

Warp drive (possibly non-functional due to the lack of a warp to drive through)

Ork ecosystem: Orks, Gretching, snotlings and squigs are all the product of a fungal ecosystem that first grows and then births the fungus animal hybrids out of itself, before sustaining them with more conventional fungal fruits. This means that, given enough time, their orks can replace or even grow their numbers at a rate mere animals are unable to do. The ecosystem itself can be spread wherever orks die and release spores of it, making them something of a self replicating biohazard that will likely be tomorrow's problem if the spread is not contained.

Crew Size: 16k krew members, mostly diminutive gretchen/snotlings, plus an unknown number of Squigs

Faction/Operator/Owner: Kaptin Bluddflagg, leader of Bluddflagg’s Freebootas
