Sly gives his local space station a blank check. He says, "Ive got a blank check. How ever much you need to make a craft and get the equipment and supplies to make a manned mission, and then eventually a colonization of Mars, money is no object". He orders the preparation for a manned mission to Mars. Any nation who is willing to join in helping me on this endeavor is welcome
The Empire of Unity proposes a joint venture with sly. As we already posses a means of entering into space the production of the Station should prove much easier. We can provide less efficient and less powerful ion-drives for your own craft to use, but cannot provide our most up-to-date drives. Additionally three more Astra class battleships have been produced the ISS Cosmos, ISS Excaliber and the ISS Daring. The ISS Daring is sent to assist the 8th and 4th Armies that are moving down the Nile towards the lands that the Black Skulls are reported to have origionated in.
Wouldnt less efficient be bad?... Anyway, I accept you into my join venture I propse we call it "Sly Unity"
With the project still underway, new concepts for applying it are developed. The moon colonies grow and the terraformer was almost finished needing only few components. A military base has been already established.
Pres. Surfusa has finally finished their first space destroyer. With explosive rounds and missiles it's attacks are deadly, and it energy blockers of lasers and plasma, not many can match it. It has mostly fighters and is currently docked with the moon base controlled by Dud and surfusa. There are rumors that surfusa is experimenting on zombies in space.
Yes. We are not giving you our most advanced stuff, we are giving you older stuff. We accept and to honour our agreement our newest Astra Class battlecarrier is named the ISS Unity Fox. The task force headed to South Africa arrives, after encountering many backwards tribes; some of which agree to join ubity, others are simply wiped out. Leading elements enter South African territory unopposed.
Using the technology and stuff given to them from the empire of unity, the first space craft capable of reaching Mars is completed. After a few test runs it is good to go and 3,000 colonists are needed
A new alliance is created with Dud and Surfusa. Although Surfusa's Space ship is the largest and most feared ship, that is the only one that he has. Surfusa asks for Dud to form to together with Surfusa's ship as the main capital ship and Dud with his spaceships.
The Janissary-class ships joined with Surfusa's fleet. Only for now to help Surfusa. Part of the Reason was Surfusa had the powerful ship but can be easily destroyed by the fleet. And because of the alliance of Dud and Surfusa. If Surfusa wants, build the bomb on the ship. Ive contacted the ones who built it. All we need is your approval.
No, those are being made into SDIs that orbit the planet. It's fine, should we make this into a new "UN" thread with us becoming the human race exploring new planets?
OCC- I agree. A new Space Age thread would probably be best. With Earth divided into 4 nations each competing to expand into space. A new batch of three Astra Class ships is completed. One is fitted as a colony ship with very little weapons. These three ships the ISS Horizon, ISS Guardian and ISS Sentinel set off for Mars, with all the technology needed to begin a colony. The two warships' fighter bays are full of colony equipment so they have no fighters with them. As we gave Sly less efficient drives we should arrive on Mars slightly before his colony. Though we propose we continue to work together.
I still say we should work together. Still encountering no sign of the Black Skulls the African Expeditionary force takes Praetoria; the city is deserted but colonisation efforts are begun; much of the local mining infrastructures seems to have been rebuilt but abandoned.
fair enough. But to the empire of unity's surprise, slys ships arrive at Mars first. A is beginning to be constructed as oxygen is being flown in
Somewhere in the desert a scientist experiments on an unstable element. It gives off radiation and is black and round. Commonly found in the caves of India, it is considered a useless dangerous element. Today Dr Brown cuts it with a diamond knife. It creates a large spark, yet doesn't use up the diamond or the element. Dr Brown tries again except with a metal rod connected to a generator. It sparks again, powering up the generator so much that it becomes over powered. Yet the spark continued to power, so the scientist had to move the rod. He had just invented a unlimited power supply. Theyre being installed on the space ships and will increase its shields and speed atleast 10 fold!
Imperial scientists working at the CERN laboratories have made signifigant advances in Anti-matter power generation. An unexpected breakthrough occoured when accidentally exposed an experiment to gin and tonic. The team says full scale power generation should only take a few months to perfect. The mars expedition arrives and begins construction near the polar caps; hoping to tap into the ice sheets for water. OCC - Is everyone happy if I start a new thread for our space exploration.
