Re: Stellaris: Logs, Blogs, Blorg

Stardate 2218.03.05 Envoy Kashnaka has concluded her attempts and studies and has determined that the crystal entities are somewhat like space animals and are hazardous, though she admits our scientists could learn more if they had samples. She also notes that their composition is likely similar to ...

Re: Stellaris: Logs, Blogs, Blorg

Stardate 2216.11.29 Our science vessel discovers more and more of these strange crystal beings. We are moving Battle Group "Youthful Indiscretion" into position to engage one of the smaller clusters, though we will wait until Envoy Kashnaka exhausts attempts at communication. The entire ad...

Stardate 2216.06.14 Strange semi-intelligent space crystals? Knowing ourselves we knew the beings we might encounter could be weird, but most of us never imagined we would meet space beings that actually live directly in space. Let alone fight them. They are immediately hostile! We are reinforcing t...

Stardate 2215.04.24

A cipher has been discovered in the quantum bio-code of the Ancient Clone Vats we depend upon. This has resulted in long lost hope being rekindled at the prospect of perhaps unlocking our own fertility, a venture only ever met with failure to date.

Stardate 2214.01.20 The crew of science vessel "Limpok the Baneful" have reported hostile spacecraft in the Moah system! These strange vessels orbit Moah V, which appears protected by some kind of energy shield. The strange fleet was immediately hostile, and our estimates put at 5 to 6 tim...

Re: Stellaris: Logs, Blogs, Blorg

Stardate 2213.06.29 Our investigation into our past has shown us that our first clone vats were installed at least 1200 years ago, in which time a great deal was forgotten deliberately or out of apathy. This by itself is saddening. Our planet-side excavations finally discovered fossils of similar ge...

Re: Stellaris: Logs, Blogs, Blorg

Stardate 2203.05.17 Commander Listhima has led us into the stars at last, taking advantage of the newly discovered hyperlane network. We are only a few years into our journey, but a schism is already developing back home. What were once opinions and conjecture about who made us and where we came fro...

Re: Stellaris: Logs, Blogs, Blorg

I've gone ahead and started this and I might make some posts about it, the sacrifices promote population growth which, I think on a mechanical technicality, might not have an effect, but we'll see.

Re: Stellaris: Logs, Blogs, Blorg

Regarding RP constraints: Because we cannot change ourselves through genetics, we will change the universe to better suit us. We will terraform as needed. We will pursue the art of war to its point of perfection, and will not hesitate to use all of its arts. The concept of non-combatants is alien to...

Re: Stellaris: Logs, Blogs, Blorg

The clones themselves have grown a bit unruly over the generations, perhaps a mutation or reversion of whatever gene or conditioning they once had towards conformity, but they are still very strong physically. They have also developed a natural curiosity about each other, how their society works and...

Re: Stellaris: Logs, Blogs, Blorg

From Discord, I've been working on concepts for a clone army run. I spent some time tinkering with it last night and thinking about what Rydi said, and here's what I've come up with so far: From birth to death, each clone is surrounded by visions of itself in all stages of life in all walks of life....

Re: WOD Generator

This project has been kind of sidelined for kind of a weird reason. I shifted from working with .NET, for which making a desktop application is trivially easy, to working with Elixir, for which building a desktop application is an exercise in pain. I explicitly have permission for a desktop app, whi...

Re: Stellaris: Logs, Blogs, Blorg

Year 2312. We have brought the Hive being to heel, and reasoned with one of our neighbors to see our vision, and they have joined us in a Hegemony, at last.

From Broken Throne we now direct the futures of several empires, of many species. The First Empire is finally returning.

Re: Stellaris: Logs, Blogs, Blorg

Year 2275. The decades have flown by, and we have been set upon by our enemies from every side. Perhaps the only real betrayal we felt was the hostility of the hive mind to spinward. We must bring it to heel. It would be a powerful ally, and we would not seek to eliminate it, but as an enemy it is t...

Re: Stellaris: Logs, Blogs, Blorg

Year 2213, we have translated the languages of the alien civilizations near us. One is a Hive Mind, a type of being we were taught to respect and revere by our elders. The truest form of cooperation and an ideal weapon. We will become allies with this being. The others have made a mockery of our anc...
