     Subject: Basic Character Info

Hey,

     I've gathered all the information you asked me for, but I couldn't find it all. Some of these guys are... obscure. Or really well hidden.

Can I ask why you wanted information for these people specifically? I can't find many connections to them other than the people in the same faction. I mean... what kind of connections could there be to the H.G.R.A and Frontline Corporation?

Take Care,

     Subject: Assault in Redacted Space

Greetings,

     I'm afraid you are far too late. This message was sent 4 days ago, and the attack has already begun. Hundreds of stations are being destroyed, most of them GalCorp. This attack is being focused mostly in the Mojave Expanse. If you stay away from there, you should have less of a chance of running into an Avatar.

GalCorp is trying to get me to expunge your ship manager database, because you are entering Redacted Space. But I sense you have... plans. I will allow you your vessels.

I wish I could say more to help you, though I cannot lie to you about your chances... you have my sympathies.

Take Care,
Timothy Carlisle

I just made this for fun I guess. I wouldn't take it as the actual map for the stories unless everyone here is fine with their respective corporations being part of it.

[GoodMorning]

Roleplay always returns, doesn't it? And it's more fun the further it extends.

I think we need slightly finer hextiles, however - Redacted Space always felt rather more vast then any one dominion, and quite possibly greater than all known areas combined. Of course, it may be that it extends entirely around the galactic disc.

There's another "anomaly" at around (2.4,0.5) radial - Rising Star is responsible for that, but please don't come looking yet. It may all come to nothing...

[Keeper Decagon]

I really like this map you have going on! Also, makes sense for the Hiigarans to have come from their own galaxy through one of the great Hyperspace Gates to the Milky Way. Never really considered how I'd justify their presence in our galaxy, so I guess you've done me a favour! :P

Also, I agree with GM, that I imagined Redacted Space to be everywhere in the Galaxy that's not Protected Space (at least, to the perspective of GalCorp, since other empires will have carved out their own sectors within Redacted Space). I guess the "unexplored" sectors on the map can technically be classed as Redacted Space too.

But yeah, I'm such a fan of this whole map idea. I love it! :D

Roleplay's kinda always been my thing ^^;

I'm working on version 2 right now, it has much more detail in it. To me, I guess Redacted Space felt like a contained area, the Seloi needed room while making it after all :P Though I remembered what I decided happened to the Seloi... Particulate got unruly when the creeper came... I'm now aiming for Redacted Space to have a used to be contained look.

"(2.4, 0.5)" ?

Thx! I kinda had to use a hyperspace gate, considering that the only other way I know for galactic hyperspace travel is the type of hyperdrive the Naggarok used, and that presents obvious problems *cough* :P Looking in-game for HW2, the Gate of Balcora's effect looked more akin to exting with Rift Space instead of Hyperspace. Considering Deep-Hyperspace is a tad bit virulent, it would make sense that the Progenitors used powerful rift totems to get around galaxies like this.

 Don't worry, Redacted Space is getting MUCH bigger :) (This is unfinished)

[close]

[GoodMorning]

(2.4,0.5) are the coordinates: 2.4 radians (on your map) and halfway out from the galactic Core. 2.4 roughly corresponds to NW if you overlaid a compass rose. Conveniently in an unexplored area.

Don't forget to denote a Mojave Expanse.

To paraphrase a half-remembered quote:

Technology is a tree rather than a ladder. Most civilisations stop seeking new ways to accomplish an end after that end has been achieved. As such, there are many paths to the top.

Rising Star took a very different path, but have continued exploring in the lower branches.

Spoiler

A map is under construction, but it is currently trivial. When it is fun, I'll put it out there - but this story will be heavy with scripting from start to finish

[close]

After all, GalCorp inherited tech from the Seloi, who would almost certainly have encountered hyperspace gates. Yet they still use rift jumps. Then again, neither recorded knowledge of the Styglek.

Also, who built the Gates? Rift Totems also seem to be unconstructable, yet they exist.

If have a suggestion: why not have Protected Space occupy the denser, inner regions of the galaxy, and Redacted Space the rim? Redacted Space seemed to have constant boundaries, predefined. Then any expansion or removal from GalCorp control requires entering Redacted Space, and extragalactic visitors appear on the rim.

[Nicant]

I'll add where my corporation is on the map once it gets finished!

[FOXX]

This is a great project DA, good luck !!!!
Interested in the end result.

[Spaartan]

If my calculations are correct, I should be near the middle of the Hydraxil Invasion space, they recently expanded beyond the dome which we live in. It has become mostly silent if not for the particulate attacks from time to time.

     Subject: Excalibur Project

The Project is underway.

I dug into our limited, very limited, records. Of which are very very limited. It seems the Seloi were only able to make two Excalibur's. One of them went rogue, the other is missing and presumed dead. We should take into account the sudden freedom a successful test subject will have.

Still though, we do not have the sufficient technology to bind a mind. We need to scour some Seloi active zones to see if there is anything to find. Our fleets are spread thin, so we may need help.

I'm sure you can find some cover.

[close]

This is Executor Sylvester, CEO of GalCorp, broadcasting to multiple Corporations. We are building a new ship class that requires technology we don't have, anything providing particle manipulation, and anything A.I related. We are hiring mercenaries to go on an expedition into Redacted Space and into Seloi Active Zones to find information and technology. The reward for retrieved technology is over 10,000^¤, I'm sure you realize how important this is for such a ludicrously high payment.

Any company interested should respond on the channel N9TT-9G0A-B7FQ-RANC.

(I am not making a map series out of this, it is a forum-side story. Still, I need somebody to respond to this RP style to progress the story.)

Greetings Executor,

This is Chief Intelligence Officer Rachel Somtaaw of the HDF Command Ship Faal-Corum. We have received your... lucrative offer a few moments ago, and after having consulted with Fleet Command, we want to formally accept this task.

We will take a few days to prepare our fleet for the expedition, and then we will proceed to the nearest Progenitor sites to search for these technologies you mentioned.

However, we have but one request: upon completion of our task, the reward should be delivered in Resource Units, since we have little use for your currency.

Faal-Corum, out.

[GoodMorning]

Executor,

Rising Star may be able to assist you, depending on your exact requirements. We have experience with ship AIs. We also have little use for your currency, but are sufficiently interested to participate in development. Should you wish to expedite this, however, we would request a delivery of the attached list of raw materials, delivered care of the SSDI:ADD. We are sure that you will appreciate the reasons for our caution; given the cases of the SchematiCull and the Silicon Nomads. We do, of course, reserve the option to withdraw our assistance should, say, any shipment of materials contain tracing devices.
