@Senhara I accept. I look forward to your warrior's learning their energy weapons are useless.

@Roman I accept you as you are

Star Wars Invasion [A Multiverse Spaceship RP]

Wulff didn't question the mismatch of ships that entered the system, or orbit over Coruscant. Traffic had been light, with only a few key personnel moving in and out of the system. All other traffic had been barred. Ensuring that the fleet understood that these vessels weren't here for anything nefarious. Wullf at first thought he was having some form of episode when this 'Daniel' first appeared to him, but after this so-called 'ascended being' had met with Supreme Chancellor Palpatine and members of the Jedi Council he was told that the offer for aide was in-fact genuine.

Still seeing these very alien ships appear was odd, some of them headed down to the planet landing just outside of the containment zone, whereas others chose to remain in orbit. He turned to his second in command, a clone called Neo. "Inform the representatives that our guests are here." Looking out at the hangar bay he watched as two T-6 shuttles took off and left, one down towards the planet and one towards the ship amassing in orbit.

---

The Hammond dropped out of hyperspace and immediately tucked into formation with the Malevolence. The sheer size off the vessel still threw Sam off balance. The only ship she had ever seen that rivaled it was the Super-Hive in orbit above Earth, and not even Atlantis could stop it, the only way to destroy it was a nuke down its throat. The technology on some levels was less than that of the Hammond, but still. She was adamant she did not want a single Replicator to board that ship, if they took it and upgraded it then it would be damn near unstoppable. Not only that but it came from an alternate version of this universe they were now in. Did that mean vessels of this size were common here? If so they couldn't let the Replicators get off the planet. They'd be unstoppable.

"Major Marks."

"Ma'am?"

"Open a channel to the fleet."

"Channel Open."

"This is Colonel Carter, we're trying to mask our ships signature by keeping in close formation with the Malevolence, running scans now to try and see what we're dealing with." Standing up out of the 'command chair' that was placed in the middle of the bridge she walked over to a nearby console, scanning the planet was incredible. The whole planet was one large superstructure, it was a Replicator's dream-world, the raw materials on this world alone would likely make an infestation just as large as they had faced in the Milky-Way before they activated the Dakara weapon.

Jennifer Hailey came up behind her, Sam still saw her as the young-faced-head-strong Cadet she had met years ago but she had really come into her own in the fight against Queen Death and proven herself a distinguished officer. "The containment zone from their orbital bombardment seems to be working. We're not detecting any replicators outside of that sphere."

"As far as we know." Sam hit a combination of keys, probing the Asgard sensors to delve deeper, clawing to get all the information they could. "Interference with all the life support and power systems is creating a lot of interference, we're struggling to scan below level 1313."

Hailey nodded. "Maybe we can get one of the ships that have moved in closer to get a more accurate surface scan?"

"I've already got Colonel Mitchell putting together a team to go down to the planet with handheld scanners, we'll beam them down once we're closer, Kevin put in a request to the Blue Typhoon and Astro-Mega-" What an odd name for a ship, but they might be thinking the same about her ships name. "-to allow us to beam people down to the surface with them. We need to get more accurate readings so we can make a plan."

Currently the plan was to determine whether or not these Replicators were immune to the ARW technology developed by General O'Neill and the Asgard. If they weren't then they could slap something together pretty quickly to deactivate them. If they were, then it would take a little more trial and error.

No looky loos

USS HAMMOND // CORUSCANT ORBIT

"This is Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Federation Starship Stargazer. We were stranded here by an extra-dimensional being known as Q. Are you the commanding officer here, Colonel?"

Sam tried to think as best as she could for some mention of Q, extra-dimensional? Was he an ascended being? She sighed as all the vessels lumbered on, and in the background, the scanners indicated the Replicators were living up to their namesake. Thoth had appeared and went straight down to the surface and began firing its beam in an effort to help slow the Replicator's advance, at least something was going on. Teal'c was aboard the Malevolence right now and he'd start the ball rolling on their plan, hopefully, it would all come together and they could be back home before the Replicators became a serious threat.

"Captain, like yourselves we have all been brought here by a multi-dimensional being to deal with a serious threat not just to this reality but potentially more beyond, I don't know if I am necessarily in command however I have dealt with this threat before." Turning to the scan she grimaced slightly. "With your permission, this issue is very... time sensitive and we need to act before it becomes too big to deal with, I would like to transport a member of my crew over to your ship via a transport beam to tell you all we know. It would however require you to momentarily drop your shields. Unless you have some form of shuttlecraft you could send for him." She turned to Meyers. "Give him a visual."

She turned to the screen so that the camera would pick up her image. "We mean you no harm, I know the being who transported us here personally and he wouldn't want you here if you weren't willing. I promise once we're done here we'll do all we can to get you home if we're not finished."

Sam nodded to Tyrone, who walked over to a terminal. He opened a channel to the Avenger.

"Commander this is Lieutenant Colonel Franklin from the Hammond. Suit up, we got a mission for you. We'll fill you in on the details shortly once Colonel Carter is free."

MALEVOLENCE // CORUSCANT ORBIT

Qui-Gon appeared to turn his attention towards Sinnali, an air of caution about him. "Nearly three standard months ago a ship appeared in orbit, it had no transponder, no identifying signals, and did not respond on the radio at all. It was subsequently destroyed and the debris fell into orbit and we forgot about it. A couple of weeks later they came marching on the Jedi temple-" A somber look crossed his face. "-We lost so many good Jedi in the assault. So few of us made it away. Those of us who were off-world fighting in the war were, ironically. Safe." There was more to the story, but if there was, he didn't seem ready to share.

Before Qui-Gon could continue Teal'c stepped forward.

"I apologize for this intrusion." He pulled a small handheld computer out from a pack he was carrying. He handed the device to General Sinnali. "Colonel Carter wishes to know if your ion weapon would be able to fire a blast at this frequency, it will disrupt the frequency between the individual nanite bonds-" or so he was told. "-We have the ability to make such a weapon, however, it would be quicker to utilize existing weapons."

OUTSIDE CONTAINMENT ZONE // CORUSCANT SURFACE

Mitchell returned the salute, Vala positively beamed at being referred to as Agent. "Nice to meet you all, I'm Colonel Cameron Mitchell. This is Vala Mal Doran-"

She butted in. "I don't know I kind of like the sound of Agent Mal Doran."

Mitchell just sighed. "Don't make me regret bringing you." He turned his attention back to the rangers.

"We'll get some weapons sent down for you, don't worry we'll give you a quick tutorial but energy weapons aren't going to do anything here." He turned to the Mobians. "I'm not entirely sure..." He turned to Vala who just shrugged. "Do you carry weapons? You're not all children are you? I don't exactly... wish to arm children."

After their response, he turned back to the matter at hand. "Currently in orbit, we're working on a weapon that should be able to wipe out the Replicators all at once. We're sending some people into the temple to make sure we get them all."

He grimaced. "For you lovely fellows though... we need to know how deep the Replicators have penetrated into the planet surface. Up for a hike?"

Star Wars Invasion [A Multiverse Spaceship RP]

Is it okay if I throw in a late submission?

@Senhara

Yeah fo'sho

Star Wars Invasion [A Multiverse Spaceship RP]

@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.

The Ark

Name of Ship:
The Ark

Home Universe/Name of Franchise:
Transformers Generation One

Ship Class:
Vanguard-class

Role:
Interceptor

Physical Description/Image:

Image

Physical Size (roughly):
Roughly 950 feet long.

Armament/Complement (roughly):

• 16 x Particle Combustion Cannons (Port)
• 16 x Laser Emitters (Starboard)
• 1 x Starfield Missile Launcher
• 1 x Overshock Sonic Battery
• 4 x Ark Shuttlecraft
• 1 x All-Terrain Turbo-Transport

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.

Unique Technology:

• 5 x Hyperfuel Intake Accelerator Engines
• 1 x Space Bridge Projector
• 1 x Alternate Form Reassembler
• 1 x Teletraan-I Ship AI

Crew Size:
300 Transformers

Faction/Operator/Owner:
Autobot-Earth Alliance

@Martian

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

Star Wars Invasion [A Multiverse Spaceship RP]

<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.

@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.

Star Wars Invasion [A Multiverse Spaceship RP]

<Snipped quote by mattmanganon>

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

@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

Star Wars Invasion [A Multiverse Spaceship RP]

Everyone is free to drop in at Coruscant while we assess the situation

Star Wars Invasion [A Multiverse Spaceship RP]

@Martian don't worry about me posting the start of the IC you're still free to join.

Star Wars Invasion [A Multiverse Spaceship RP]

The ship appeared in orbit of Coruscant without warning. It was instantly detected and targeted by orbital defenses and patrol vessels alike, it was swiftly dealt with. There was no panic on Coruscant. Not by the general population, the military, or even the Jedi. There was however one man who was concerned. Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine had crafted everything in the war, every piece moving perfectly according to his grand design. Minor bumps in the road were swiftly overcome, and strategies were adopted. This however was an unknown variable.

The media was spinning it as a new form of Separatist vessel, probing Coruscant's defenses and reaction times as a precursor to invasion. Palpatine knew better or believed he did. This vessel wasn't separatist. Not unless His apprentice was planning to overthrow and replace him. Such a thing was unlikely but not impossible. Since the start of the war he had pushed his Apprentice further and further to the Dark Side, and power afterall did corrupt. Though as the wreckage from the ship came crashing down to the surface off the planet, the worry soon disappeared out of his mind as days turned into weeks. It continued to nag at the back of his brain, but more pressing matters gained his attention.

---

In an area of existence between existence itself, beings of unworldly power and knowledge met together in a place that never existed. It defied existence and completed it all at the same time, and the figure wearing the white sweater approached one in a far more intricate state of dress.

"I need your help."

"Oh?" The figure turned to face him. "You have come to me for help? That's interesting."

"You're the only one who will listen to be about this-"

"I wonder why, is it because I am a little crazy?"

"I've already spoken to who I need to speak to, I just need someone to do the transportation."

"Ahhh, there in lies the rub. The rules."

"Just because the others approve, doesn't mean they'll let me do whatever I want."

---

The Jedi Temple was one of the most historically significant structures in the Galaxy, a beacon of hope and justice. Today a level of unease seemed to permeate the very walls of the structure. The Jedi walked the halls going about their day-to-day lives with a shadow they just couldn't shake, no matter how hard they tried. Security ran system diagnostics, Jedi meditated on it.

A lone figure ascended the steps of the Jedi Temple. Past the protestors, approaching the Clones guarding the temple. They raised their hands to stop her, however, she continued. One of them made an effort to grab her, and with lightning efficiency and speed she broke both his wrists before kicking his shin sending him to the ground.

By this point, the rest of the squad was in motion. Stun shots rained out against her, which were quickly replaced with fully powered blaster bolts. Burn marks appeared all over her body, causing her to pause. The shots stopped as she looked down observing the marks. A silver shimmer passed over her body, as she seemingly healed herself and fixed her clothes. Looking up she screamed, and all throughout the Jedi Temple replicators burst forth.

The Force nor blasters seemed to be effective against them and while Lightsabers could destroy them they seemed to come in endless wave after wave. Throughout this chaos Sixth worked her way deeper, and deeper into the temple. For the first time in the history of the Republic, the Jedi began evacuating their temple. Their home, until she rested herself in the command and control center. Tying her into the Republic Battlenet.

---

Weeks passed. Codes changed. A ceasefire between the Republic and the Separatist Alliance was orchestrated, largely in part by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. All evacuation of Coruscant was halted after a single replicator was found aboard a cruiser. A single replicator that very quickly took over the entire vessel. Since then nobody has left the surface, a fleet of Venators bombards the surface around the Jedi Temple almost constantly trying to prevent the Replicator Advance while the best minds throughout the galaxy try to come up with a solution.

So when a being with power to even convince the most skeptical of Jedi, a Senator or Clone Trooper showed up and offered a team to help restore the Galaxy the Republic, reluctantly, agreed, but did they have what it took? To stop the Replicators on Coruscant once and for all?

Well, that's where the story begins, and don't tell Daniel, but I've included a special twist of my own.
