Arania Public News announcment:

The Administration has recently revealed declassification info for a new type of warship vessel, christened the 'Basilisk', it has the long-sought-after ability to remain completely cloaked and undetectable while firing, brining a new level of terror to surprise attacks. 6 are currently in operation, reported as being in final stage testing before the plans are put into full scale production.

In other news, the Aranic Experimental shipyards have finally broken the silence surrounding 'Project Black Hole'. The Shipyard has confirmed that the project is the construction of the 22nd Timeship in the Aranic fleet, a ship class long shrouded in mystery and mystique. The new ship, christened the 'Event Horison' is rumoured to be a experimental research ship, second only in the timeship division to the famous 'Proteus' Flagship. Undocking and First jump is sceduled for 846 tomorrow morning, and the ship is rumoured to be working alongside the memorial timeship 'W. Riley' in Andromeda.

The Emperor has been unavailable for comment on the new military operation 'Operation Purification', all that i known is that there have been massive fleet movements in the last few weeks, and comes in conjunction with the Emperors official inception. The Phoenix division is rumoured to be involved, but any conclusive evidence regarding them or Project Purification has yet to be found.

End News.

Aranic News report

In one swift movement earlier this morning, the Emperor passed the decision to open fire upon strategic positions on earth. The decision follows his highly controversial inception speech, stating that he intends to 'cleanse' the human race im immorality. Although the speech was accepted with heartfelt support, many people are beginning to question his motives. at least 120 thousand are now confirmed dead in project purification, including the almost complete extinction of at least 8 Oceanic mammal species on earth earlier today. Dolphin and Whale lobbyists, shocked at this mornings actions, are visiting the Emperor's household this afternoon to negotiate the preservation of at least some of the population.

The Emperor hopes that this mornings actions, although not completely effective, will provide an effective 'shockwave' attack, instilling fear into the earth population and discouraging them from following this sort of behaviour. Tacticians in the Aranic fleet, in a press confrence held shortly after this mornings attack ended, are not so confident, saying there is at least a 64% chance thet Earth will rebel and oppose The Aranic Empire's decisions, engaging in such actions without remorse. The AI Prometheus was unavailable for confirmation of this data.

We wioll keep you updated as this develops.

Jeez,dis died out fast

Post Sat Jan 15, 2005 7:09 am

It's obvious, isn't it? Earth has surrendered in the face of total annihilation by the Aranic fleet. I assume the dolphin and whale lobbyists killed the board of Esso / Exxon-Mobil to remove all control of the politicians thus allowing the Illuminati to negotiate a peace deal.

The dropships will be arriving soon...

Would you ever happen to pass through the Graveyards in the east of a sector known only as NQ-148648, you should notice all the lots of rubish lying around. But this isn't really scrap. It's the graveyard of the Progenitors. And the Graveyard is full of life. Just now, it seems these ancient relics are gathering for war...

The Progenitor armada is one of the largest fleets in the world.
They house small nano-crafts only tenth of a milimetre big, to the massive Titans, spanning often ten solar systems. The fleet use normal weapons, and electronic warfare modules. Unlike many other fleets they can cloke their engine signatures and sneak up on any ususpecting enemy. "Original" cloaking is standard in any Progenitor ship.

//EVENTS:

The Progenitor armada today dispacthed a diplomat to negotiate a temporary peace with the Aranic Empire. It will be well protected; the Aranic are advised not to open fire. Any atempt at threat will make a large abyss between the empires.

On other hand, the Titan "Apocalypse" are rallying to the place where Tango 13 were shot down. If any pirates are found; we will cleanse the area!

Aranic News Report:

It is confirmed that the Emperor and the Council have authorised a full-scale assault on a number of inhabited worlds, including Earth. Confirmed counts now stand: at least two hundred thousand dead across eighteen planets, and at least one hundred and twenty thousand dead on earth alone. At least 2 animal species are confirmed extinct on earth, with a further 20 thousand unique lifeforms destroyed on the remainder.

The Fate of Earth now rests in the hands of the Aranic diplomatic team, who will be discussing earth’s future with delegates from the Orillion Imperial Navy later this week. The strange blue glow in the sky has been confirmed as a full-scale Aranic Breeding suppression field, designed to restrict reproductive Hormonal responses in earth organisms until diplomatic negotiations are complete.

The Empire has also released construction blueprints for the latest weapon that has been outfitted on each of the purification craft. The ‘Incinerator’ torpedo, as it has been called, carries a 20-kilogram nanotech payload. The nanomachines onboard have been selectively engineered to absorb energy and release it as heat on contact with organic material, effectively ‘incinerating’ whatever it comes in contact with. A few of these warheads alone are capable of turning a Jupiter-sized planet into an inhospitable wasteland, devoid of any life or water.

Animal lobbyists have been turned away from the government with distaste. Although the governments plan to preserve the genetic structure of some animals for examination and possible reinsertion, lobbyists are worried about the possible long-term ramifications the attack will have within both the empire and the Supercluster.

We will keep you updated as the crisis develops.

Message begins:
To the OIN, your request at diplomacy is accepted; please meet the Timeship ‘Event Horizon’ at Rim coordinates 887CE21 in Andromeda. You will then be escorted to the Aranic Experimental shipyards facility from there. My diplomatic team and I will meet you there.
End Message


Transcript – Timeship ‘Event Horizon’ three light-years out from the Aranic Experimental shipyards, Andromeda.

Emperor (on view screen) – I am trusting you to greet the diplomats from OIN upon their arrival in Andromeda.
Commodore- Yes sir, although have you thought that the OIN will ignore the request and come straight to Arania?
Emperor- it has been considered, but I am relying on the hope that the OIN will not be stupid. A meeting in a neutral area is perfect diplomatic policy.
Commodore- you do realise that a lone Timeship isn’t a match for the imperial fleet?
Emperor- Have faith commodore, war is not what either of our two nations wants. Greet them, and escort them to the shipyards. I will meet you there.
Commodore- yes sir, is that all.
Emperor- as a gesture of good faith, keep your shielding minimal, and face all weapons away. No cloaking either, it doesn’t convey a good message.
Commodore- Yes sir, Event horizon out.

@Stormtrooper110:

Ok, seems you doesn't need the help.

@Arania:

The OIN are no more. The Progenitor Empire do not have any similarities with the Orillan Empire of old. If you need a name on the fleet; call it the Armada.

//EVENTS:

The Armadas dispatched diplomat will arrive in Andromeda in aprox. one hour. We've also send probes to Earth to recon the area. You can never be to sure.

The Empire will not parcipate in any warring actions at the current time, which means we will not provoke a threat to the opposition of the Aranic Empire.

Titan "Apocalypse" will today return to the Graveyard. It seems the help was rejected by the battlegroups already stationed at it's destination. This will not be taken lightly in Progenitor custom.
