Welcome to Gaia! ::

NEW! Woo for updates! 3nodding

Alrighty everybody, I've got a couple updates I'd like to add to the growing heap of information listed on the front page.

First off, check out the galactic maps. cool (Thumbnail)

Anok Territory- (The Red Zone) This is enemy territory, owned by the species the Anok.
Terra- Earth. Homeworld of the Terrans
C'setar- Homeworld of the C'setan
Chau Skara- Homeworld of the Rek'kir
Velitoc- Homeworld of the Velitor
Gurodan- Homeworld of the Gurodani
Demarcation Line- This line of demarcation was agreed upon between the Velitor and Gurodani. Neither group can build installations or fly warships on the other's side of the line. The line extends into the core.

Special Note: The core is vastly unexplored by any species. It is also extremely difficult to navigate and maneuver inside, and therefore is considered a safe boundary between the Consortium and the Anok.

This is a basic map of the galaxy, divided into sectors:


NEW!Gurodani sketch:

Right now I'm having a hard time coming up with a head for them! Sorry!

NEW!Anok discovered!
Anok- The Anok is a mysterious species of beings from the galactic west. Little can be said of their history or origin, but it is reasonable to assume that they developed in a similar patter to the other sentient species inhabiting the galaxy. Their true intentions are unknown, but despite repeated attempts at negotiation, the Anok have regarded all other species as hostile. The Anok were first encountered in a system in C’setan territory on the two hundred forty-first day of the year 3039 (241.3039 Terran Standard Time). During this encounter, an Anok fleet destroyed an orbital research and monitoring station, taking over two thousand lives. The fleet disappeared shortly after, and the Anok were not heard from again until almost fifty years later, when numerous fleets attacked and captured over a hundred systems on the border of C’setan territory. Unfortunately, these systems were never retaken by Consortium forces, but a rough battle-front was established on the border systems that were in danger of attack. Since that time, the Gurodani and Velitoc have joined the Consortium, but little territory has been gained on the Anok fronts.
The Anok are similar in basic anatomy to other species, though with a few discernable features. Anok are bipedal, and have two arms that they use for dexterous purposes. In addition, Anok have another pair of limbs sprouting from their backs that brandish large, blade-like talons used for movement and close-quarters combat. The talons are easily capable of rending flesh and bone. The Anok are tall (on average they are eight feet tall from head to toe) and slender, but they normally stand in a hunched position. Despite their large size, they are deceptively agile, and are able to scale vertical walls and move across the roughest terrain with ease. Anok have exoskeletons that cause them to be difficult to cut or bruise.

NEW!Sketch of a Velitor head:

It's okay. I had a great idea to give us some more time while we continue to develop some details.

What I'm thinking of doing is making an experimental thread that we can roleplay in. Inside, we'd be able to figure out what we need as far as technology (like datapads, translators, weapons, etc.). This will give everyone a chance to expound on the characters they will use in the REAL roleplay, and let everyone get comfortable in the universe that we're creating. In addition, it should help advertise the CDF a little bit, and we might get some more players who find it.

The roleplay will be the CDF Naval Academy. In the Academy, players will learn how to develop skills involved in their respected departments. When the actual roleplay is ready to go, that will represent "graduation", and, depending on the number of players currently in the roleplay, everyone will be posted on board the ship(s).

I would like to see those other designs. You can PM them to me if you wish.

One of your helpers just joined the guild and I will ask you the same question I asked them. Will this RP require multiple threads?

If so, I can probably see my way into giving it it's own subforum, yes? biggrin Would that be useful to you? Please PM me about this, I might forget to check this thread because I'm silly.

IC Interaction..Its very hard for me to interact properly..this thread will give me no choice..I think it will be good for me to improve my IC interraction..Unless i should improve slowly..

I would draw... but my scanner is broken. The pain.

I guess, I'll go with technical aspects!

A general question is, why do the species have the attributes that they posses?
How long has the terrans been inhabiting space? Since terrans are very adaptive, there could be a subspecie of terrans that adapted to space, perhaps still under question by terrans themselves. They'll probably adept in low gravity, thinner or maybe fatter for those who deviated more from terrans (a greater ability to store fat), more proficient use of oxygen, and maybe a little more brittle. Maybe a cool little ability to actually detect movement in space XD.

C'setan seem like they have little to offer.

Rek'kiri, anthromorphic cat people?

Velitor, bony protrusion and froglike legs. Reptilian in manner, and feeder tentacles. Seems like they have a lot going for them. Haha. Curious to why they've got so many features. o0

From Gurodani's sketch, it looks insect like, perhaps give it mandibles and fragmented bug like eyes?

The galaxy pic is odd. I don't think every heavenly body in the galaxy moves at the same speed... though it might be so huge that its movement will be hardly noticeable for thousands of years. XD

I think that's enough for now. pirate

C'setan = Andelites? LOL For some reason I am picturing them as the most diplomatic. After all if you looked like prey you'd talk fast and smooth too.

twisted

It's from children's literature

redface Also I spelled it wrong
