    • Battle for Sol III: Pertinent Information


      Since some people (url="http://"http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/webboard/Forum6/HTML/001713.html")here(/url) wished that Captain Skyblade could post the relevant information for his upcoming webstory "Battle for Sol III: The Worlds Beyond the Milky Way" but the thread takes too long to load: Here is the sotry and a link to the map

      Quote

      The Human Confederation will be very much involved in episode III. We will be using two galaxies instead of one, and the jumpgates will serve as passes between the Milky Way and Sentarus.

      Before the Confederation / Rebellion war, the humans sent out a colony fleet into the eastern portions of the galaxy. Since war would soon tear itself across the Milky Way, these colonists were seeking a peaceful settlement. The settlers (unknown to the humans) discovered the jumpgate built by the aliens, and the colonists were discovered by the aliens at this point. Instead of killing the humans, the aliens captured them and and brought them to the planet Dreden inside the Sentarus Galaxy: Home of the aliens. On Dreden, the humans were forced to labor, building war machines for the alien empire (Now remember that this all took place a few hundred years ago). The humans started growing numerous on Dreden, until eventually a full scale rebellion broke out on Dreden. The humans, thirsty for revenge after years of cruelty, took over all of Dreden and it thus became a human world. Dreden ship factories, which were formerly an important warship manufacturing site of the alien empire, was now in human hands. The humans now used these factories to build human warships and fighters of their own to defend Dreden. Now, around 30 or so years following the rebellion at Dreden, the "Dreden Rebellion" (which the aliens call them) has gained a formidable foothold in the Sentarus galaxy with their growing navy. Their technology equals that of the aliens, and they thus prove a deadly match. The Dreden Rebellion now wishes to reunite with their human friends of old back in the Milky Way, and they will fight until they gain control of the great Sentarus Galaxy.

      Following the Battle of Levo during the "war that was never finished," the Human Confederation mounted large offensives against the invading alien fleets, and through heavy fighting which cost thousands of lives of both humans and aliens, the Human Confederation at last destroyed nearly all the aliens inside the Milky Way. A few, however, managed to escape through the jumpgate. This jumpgate was discovered by the Human Confederation, and this is where the adventure continues...

      (Dreden Rebellion and Human Confederation are allies)

      I currently have no shipyard or outfit graphics up, but perhaps you would like to see a map of the Sentarus Galaxy? Click here.

      This is Skybalde's story, not mine. I'm just doing everyone a favor by posting this here, where laoding time is shorter. Personally, I would have joined the sotry myself as an HC member, but I don't have the time.

      God bless,

      UE Patriot

      P.S. Might I compliment Skybalde on the tremendous amount of prepatation he has put into his webstories lately? BFS 2 had a discussion thread as well as the sotry thread, and BFS 3 has a pre-registration thread! Cool!

      Actually, BFS II also had a registration thread, and the disc thread was mine, by request - but he has put a lot of work into these. If he could just get this one started now...

      Skyblade, have you changed your e-mail or something? I sent you another one about 3 days ago now, and haven't heard from you. I've seen you on the boards since then though, so I know you're around. Could you please get back to me? If you did change your address or something, can you let me know?

      You betcha, these webstories take plenty of planning and preperation. This is probably why it will take some time for episode III to be underway.

      About the e-mail, I did receive your last one. However, please keep in mind that I have been very busy with schooling, and most of my free time has gone to completing the Azdgari Graphics Set (which has been in high demand, and I must give it plenty of attention). For the moment, I really need to concentrate on finishing up the graphics set. However, I will try to respond to your e-mail once time allows.

      Lately, I've been visiting the forums for Saber Studio reasons.

      Patriot- Thanks for posting this new thread. The old topic should have been closed off a few hundred posts ago...

      Alrighty. One quicky for while you're here though - do you mind if I use Sentarus for the Alien galaxy in my plug? Also, I've been thinking about the possibility of something along the lines of the Dreden Rebellion for possible sequels. Do you mind my using that? I've been kinda linking some of the names to the BFS series, so it would be convenient.

    • i_dontget_it: Sorry for taking so long to welcome you to the ranks of the Pirates. I've been a little busy... πŸ˜‰
      I think Shade is doing Pirate graphics (Shade?) but if he's not, you are by all means welcome to...unless someone else claimed that job.

      Finished first day of school...not good... πŸ˜„

      Oh, Mac or Skyblade (or whoever can answer this), I assume I'm the pirate leader, since you haven't named anyone else, and you noted previously that I probably would be. In the case that I am, when should I assign ranks and the like?

      It's one of the things on my list to talk to Skyblade about when he gets time. I'll let you know ASAP.

      There are four Pirates now, no? Me, spl_cadet, KK, i_dontget_it.
      There are also six (are you letting the new guy be in HC?) HC, six (?) Dreden, and four (five?) Aliens, yes? I just need to calculate how badly the Pirates are going to get mashed. πŸ˜„ j/k, it'll be fun.

      Well, he did give me both my karma points. πŸ˜‰ I could also be Frandall in disguise, he's picked up the iLock thing lately. Although, you had probably best hope that I'm not Frandall, since I'm developing an EV plug right now. If Frandall is doing that, that could slow Nova down. So I guess you have to ask:

      1. Am I, in fact, a Nova board mod in disguise?
      2. If so, am I an evil developer or a horse fondler?

      After you get through those questions, that should clear up my identity. πŸ˜‰

      I think there are 4 pirates, yes, I'm not totally sure about i_dontget_it yet, but I assume he's in. Six HC, 5 Alien, and 6 Dreden. The Aliens will get some more players through reshuffling if not normally before they start though - 12 on 5 just isn't at all fair, and we won't be doing that.

      I was an Alien, so I was in the Sentaurus Galaxy, then I had locations from RoC II on the EVO boards, and now I decided to put up a Belgariad location. Do you read David Eddings?

      iLock is really Tom's, though. As for the two questions, I hope the answer is no for both. ::MUST GO BACK ON TOPIC::

      Next time I'm at the library, I'll take a look. Thanks!

      Are they any better than "His Dark Materials"? I'm gonna check those out too.
