      Welcome to The Dark Shadow!

      AN EPIC ESCAPE VELOCITY ADVENTURE

      BY NOVA6

      MODERATED BY NOVA6

      C0-MODERATED BY SAMURAI

      RULES:
      1. You may control only your own character.
      2. No total destruction.
      3. Your posts may only account for one weeks time and one day's action.
      4. No undefeatable protections.
      5. Lifepads (small shield protection modules) may be used while aboard one's own or affiliated structure, and warsuit (suits with life support and shielding) may be used given time to put one on before going onto a hostile structure.
      6. Thread Moderators may revoke your posts at any time if they do not follow these rules.
      7. Anything acquired or developed must be noted. Background developments are allowed only by moderators.

      Rules for researching:
      1. You have to post saying that you have started researching something, and the researching of that thing is done.
      2. Tech and Civil advances are made during the story timeframe.
      3. All tech is the same as in EVO, to get new tech you have to research it.

      This's what you should post when you start a research project:

      Research project initiated

      Project name: <Put the name of your project here>

      Estimated time to finish: <Put number of posts until your project is done here. Example: "4 posts" (That means that when I post 4 action posts then the project is done)>

      NOTE: This story starts when you first start out in the game. In other words no missions have been done, the UE and Voinians have not discovered the Miranu yet, the Rock is still existent, ect. ect.

      GLACTIC MAP: Carnotuar is working on it.

      TO ALL PEOPLE WHO WANT TO JOIN: You have to post info on your character before you post about doing something.

      INTRO: OK, people. I've decided that everyone will control empires or join us as roamers. Roamers are mercenaries who do work for other governments. If you don't want to be a roamer, you can choose to control a government. You can control either the Voinains, UE, Strandless, Renegades, Miranu, Zidagar, Igadzra, or the Azdgari.
      ----------------
      I will start it out by claimimg the Azdgari.

      Here is some info on my character:

      Name: Nova6
      Spiecies: Azdgari
      Ocupation: Emporer of the Azdgari empire.
      Lives: Dames
      Ship: Azdgari Warship

      I suggest that our peoples work together.

      ---------------------

      Research project initiated

      Project name: SAI modules

      Estimated time to finish: 5-6 posts

      Information: SAI (search and incinerate) modules are the ultimate upgrade to the original
      SAD module. They pack more power, are faster and more accurate, as they do not spin as
      much. 3 SAI modules can seriously damage almost anything.

      Don't worry. This story can be for people who don't want to be a part of Apoc. Night, and the Red Horizon Sequel (which I am going to start) still needs some work before it actually starts.

      Well, first of all, I didn't know what Apoc. Night was at that time. Seconed, I didn't know that the sequel to Red Horizon was coming. I only just came back.

      NOTE: If anyone wants to be a Co-Moderator, just let me know.

    • Zidagar, baby!

      Name: Samurai

      200 more shields,
      Extra Zidagar Bay, 2 Fighters for it,

      Ok, sounds good. Later I'll post how much money everyone else has.

      Hey Samurai, would you like to be co-moderator with me?

      Oh, and Carnotaur, I'll need that map soon.

      Here is the list of how much money indivuals have.

      Nova6(Azdgari):.......................40 million + 4 mil/day*

    • No one make any moves until we've got more of the govt's covered. That way everyone can start in equally, at the same time. Everything is currently frozen 'till we get a few more players.

      And Carno, how'd you get those Phase Turrets? You don't even know that the Miranu exist.

      I have heard that you have access to the Zidagar ECM systems. Unless you are
      particularly keen on the Zidagar, I was wondering whether I could hire you, and
      perhaps trade the secret of SAE modules for Zidagar ECM........
