I will let whoever makes the 300th post in this CJ create their own character. If my calculations are correct, this will be the first post on page 11. All you will need is to fill out a name, age, species, siblings (if any), an occupation, and a basic personality profile, as well as a basic description of what they looks like.

Won by: Zelgadis.

[Zelgadis 638]

Wow! That's the most amazing placeholder I've ever seen! Great work!

Oo, there appears to be an update too...

Very interesting. I'm very much looking forward to seeing what they find out there.

Scourge of Mloret

August 9th, 0165AL (2021)

Lt. Kalmul: We should arrive at Plurgi in about 5 minutes.

Capt. Andurn: Good.

Michael: I'm detecting 53 Blikorani on long range sensors in orbit. However, there is likely to be significant ground defenses, as well as cloaked Dlaryani.

1st Officer Takari: I thought cloaked ships could be detected with the Masura?

Michael: Only at close range. They don't show up on long range sensors. Odd... one of the Blikorani just disappeared from the sensors.

Lt. Kalmul: Where did it go?

Michael: I don't know. Either it landed, it cloaked, or it was destroyed. Most likely the first. It's theoretically difficult, but not impossible for a Blikora to be cloaked, and i don't know of any reason why the Blikora would have been destroyed.

1st Officer Takari: Interesting.

Capt. Andurn: The plan is to open fire on any of Mloret's ships in the immediate area, then, after the location of the Plurgi gate is determined, open fire on the location of the gate. That should vaporize anything in the area.

Michael: Maybe not the gate itself, but it should destroy the weapon.

Capt. Andurn: Exactly. Failing that, drones will be launched to take out any shields. As soon as the target is destroyed, we jump back to hyperspace, before the rest of Mloret's ships can attack.

As soon as they dropped out of hyperspace, the Kalyun separated from the Masura, and opened fire on one of the three nearby Blikorani, two of which opened fire on them. However, before either side's weapon fire reached each other, another beam from the third Blikora shredded the other two, immediately before it jumped to hyperspace.

1st Officer Takari: What was that?

Capt. Andurn: It looked like the superweapon Mloret's flagship had.

Michael: Blikorani do have the same superweapon, only they rarely use it because it nearly overloads their power generation systems. It shouldn't have been able to jumped to hyperspace immediately after firing that.

Lt. Kalmul: It looked a bit like the Scourge beam weapons, too.

1st Officer Takari: What?

Lt. Kalmul: It was pulsed, just like the Scourge beams were.

Michael: I've detected another ship, orbiting in closer to the planet. It appears to be heavily damaged. Wait, this isn't good.

Capt. Andurn: What is it?

Michael: It's Scourge.

1st Officer Takari: We're receiving a transmission from it. It seems like it's sending the message to every ship in the system.

Capt. Andurn: On-screen.

Next to the view from the Masura, another image appeared, with a single Scourge bot visible.

Scourge: Hlatakatlani slokatloni.

The message terminated immediately after the Scourge finished speaking.

Lt. Kalmul: What did it say?

Michael: It's in Dlorwaku, not sure what it said though. I think it was speaking more to Mloret than to us.

Lt. Kalmul: I think it said something about we attack you, I'm not sure about some of it.

Michael: It's powering up it's hyperdrive.

Lt. Kalmul: Huh. Maybe my translation was a bit off.

Michael: Wait, it's aiming right at the planet... and the gate.

The Scourge ship activated the hyperdrive, but instead of opening up a hyperspace window, it simply accelerated directly at the planet, smashing into the ground at about 90% the speed of light, causing a gigantic explosion.

Lt. Kalmul: Or maybe I was right.

Michael: I'd say the target has bee destroyed.

Capt. Andurn: Let's get out of here before the other Blikorani decide to attack. Also, Myon needs to know about the Scourge. They shouldn't have been here.

The Kalyun reattached to the Masura, and they both jumped into hyperspace.

Yintar-Yanar

Nick: This is part of Lamranu, which is one of the suburbs of Yintar.

Nikki: For some reason, there's some sort of weird grid on the ground.

Nick: Other than that, you can tell this isn't a complete representation of the area, as there is a large empty area.

Nikki: The main commercial area, and the power plants.

Nick: No, you can't go shopping there.

Nikki: Who asked you?

Nick: Well, the grid's gone.

Nick: And here's one of the residential areas, along with several parks.

Nikki: Again, no grid. At least I think there's no grid. The trees are too thick to tell for sure.

Comments:

"Hlatakatlani slokatloni" means "We will attack your planet."

Schulmanator: Suspense is (sort of) over... i think it changed form though.

Hester: Well, you don't need to go around anymore now.

Leech10: Interesting... a placeholder.

zelgadis: Well, now you know.

[jacqulina 162]

wonderfull work and pics my friend

[pipishere 3]

Ohh pretty photoshopping!!

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Your battle scenes are totally awesome! I always enjoy seeing them.

[Zelgadis 638]

Wow... I can't help but wonder if a ship hitting a planet at the speed of light would do more than just cause an explosion. I'll leave that up to the quantum physicists of the world.

But I'm nitpicking here. Great story.

First Contact

August 10th, 0165AL (2021)

Narya RDPM

 Laur: I'm picking up a new contact on the sensors.

Gen. Yelslew: What is it?

 Laur: Unknown. It appears to have come though the supergate, though.

General Yelslew pushed a button on the intercom system and began to talk.

Gen. Yelslew: Mardon and Cormani, please report to the control room.

Gen. Yelslew: What is this place, an intergalactic rest stop?

It didn't take as long as before for Mardon and Cormani to arrive.

Cormani: What is it?

 Laur: An unknown ship just appeared on the sensors, and it seems to have come though the supergate.

 Mardon: Onscreen.

 Mardon: It's... It's Ancaron. i am not familiar with that class.

Cormani: It seems to be a transport vessel of some kind.

Gen. Yelslew: See if you can open up communications with them.

The viewscreen changed to static, and stayed that way for about a minute, then and image of the bridge of the Ancaron ship came into view. 3 people were visible on the bridge, two of them were apparently male, assuming they dressed the same way Mardon and Cormani did, with the third being female. All three had a uniform that consisted of a tan long sleeved shirt and pants, all of which had 2 black stripes near the feat and hands, as well as another black diamond on the shoulders. The males had a plaid dress-like piece of clothing that reached the knees on over this, and the female had something similar only it was an overall, again only reaching the knees.

???: Is this working?

Gen. Yelslew: Is what working?

???: I'd say that's a yes. And it's the translator for the what. I'm Captain Derasan of the exploration vessel Kessemal. I must say that this area appears to have changed a lot since the Ancaron were last here, i expected it to be crawling with Dlorwani.

 Mardon: They're still around, but we've managed to keep them out of this system.

Derasan: How did you get here? The last time this supergate was opened was 10,000 years ago, and there was no record of any intergalactic flights other than the ones to build the supergate in the first place.

Cormani: 10,000 years?

 Mardon: The last thing I remember is waking up about 4 and a half years ago, well that and knowledge that isn't related to memory

Derasan: So you were here ever since the last expedition to this galaxy?

Cormani: I think so.

Derasan: So that would make you two the oldest Nakran ever.

Gen. Yelslew: Nakran?

 Mardon: Nanite based Ancaron. Not all of the Ancaron are like that, at least not as I remember.

Derasan: That is still the case. We are now entering orbit over... what is the name of this planet?

Gen. Yelslew: Narya.

Derasan: We are entering orbit over Narya, just above the shield. And before I forget, the nebula looks as beautiful as it did in the recordings from the last expedition here.

Gen. Yelslew: If it is okay with you, we will send up a runabout.

Derasan: Yes, that would be great.

To be continued...

Yintar-Yanar

Nick: Still in Lamranu, this is the M-3 bridge over lake Jamarya.

Nikki: Which barely goes over the lake at all.

Nikki: Basic underpass next to the bridge, with shops.

Nick: Nikki!

Nikki: Nick!

Nikki: Said basic underpass has a not so basic onramp system.

Nick: A closer view of the north side of the onramp, the south side is the same.

Nikki: Other than being slightly offset.

Nick: Most of the development is on the north side of M-3 here. No, Nikki, you can't go shopping there.

Nikki: What made you think I was going to say something like that?

Nick: Just your basic residential and commercial neighborhood.

Nikki: With an overly high DpSB rating.

Nick: What?

Nikki: Diners per Square Block.

Nick: Oh.

Comments:

jacqulina: Thanks for the comment!

pipishere: Glad you like it!

Schulmanator: I'm glad you like it!

zelgadis: It was 90% the speed of light... And I haven't had quantum physics yet.

Notice:

For the 300th poster in this CJ, (if my calculations are correct, this would be the first post on page 11) I will allow you to create your own character for this CJ, which can be anything you want, within reason. Full details coming later.

[pipishere 3]

Very nice update. A very unusual on-ramp system lol.

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Just a look at your average Myonian communicator...

Comments coming next update.

[Schulmanator 5,787]

I wonder what Lauren has in store for us...

she does tend to find interesting things whilst about in the galaxy. And I wonder what that new piece of old technology would fetch on eBay...

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Galactic Briefing

August 11th, 0165AL (2021)

Narya RDPM

General Yelslew watched as a runabout flew up away from the city, taking Derasan back to his ship after a tour of the facility and the surrounding area, as well as talking about what was going on. The Ancaron Empire was going to send several ships like Derasan's though the supergate to explore the surrounding area. He had given Derasan some of the information that Myon had already learned, such as the location of Mloret's planets so the Ancaron could avoid the Dlorwani.

As he continued to watch, a bright light flashed behind him, which was quickly followed by darkness as someone put their hands over his eyes.

 Lauren: Guess who.

Gen. Yelslew: Lauren?

 Lauren: Yes?

She uncovered his eyes as he turned around to face her.

Gen. Yelslew: You didn't land in downtown this time.

 Lauren: There already was a ship in the area. And what was that odd looking ship in orbit over the shield?

Gen. Yelslew: It's Ancaron.

 Lauren: So Mardon and Cormani found a new toy?

Gen. Yelslew: No, it's a new Ancaron ship, straight from the supergate.

 Lauren: Oh. Is it time for the meeting yet?

Gen. Yelslew: It's in a half an hour.

 Lauren: i think we can find something to do until then.

RDPM meeting room, half an hour later.

Gen. Yelslew: I have called this meeting to discuss the recent activity in the galaxy that has been brought to my attention. First thing up for discussion is the threat from the Extragalactic Scourge.

Capt. Andurn: During the mission to take out Mloret's stargate weapon, we saw a Blikora destroy two other Blikorani using the superweapon. However, this superweapon blast behaved much like the Scourge beam weapons, so I believe it was taken over by the Scourge from the second, damaged Scourge ship that we soon located in orbit over Plurgi. This ship then rammed Plurgi with enough force to not only take out Mloret's stargate weapon, but also the entire island Mloret's base was located on.

Michael: From what i could tell, the blast was big enough to cause enough damage to the planet to exterminate nearly all forms of life on the entire planet, with the exceptions of bacteria or highly sheltered life forms.

Capt. Vashuri: I believe the Scourge ship that was found there was the same ship that attacked the Valmal earlier this year, and was disabled in the Sarim Nebula.

 Lauren: From what i have been able to learn, the Scourge have never done anything like this before. They may have taken the occasional ship from civilizations near the edge of the galaxy, but there is no records at all of the Scourge attacking a planet.

 RA Laura: What do we know about the Scourge?

 Mardon: From the information gathered from the al'Huna Karoteq, the Scourge rely on the element of surprise whenever encountering new groups, but they are very cautious when dealing with several different civilizations, which seem to include the al'Hasiq.

 RA Laura: How would we stop them if they were to attack us?

Cormani: The Masura should be able to easily take out one or two Scourge ships at a time, but it could be a problem if there are more. Myon should be safe due to its proximity to the al'Hasiq Empire, and because its farther into the galaxy.

 Lauren: Muphridish ships likely will be able to take Scourge ships as well.

 Mardon: The database also mentioned something about the Tekchal. It wasn't specific on who they were, other than that they are a very old intergalactic civilization that likely far surpasses the Predecessors, and that they have to power to fully defeat the Scourge.

Gen. Yelslew: Are you sure that it doesn't say anything more on them?

Cormani: Yes. That is all it mentions of them, it doesn't say how they could defeat the Scourge.

Capt. Vashuri: And if they could defeat the Scourge, why haven't they done so already?

Cormani: Again, I don't know.

The meeting went on for another two hours during which Lauren mentioned increasing amounts of unidentified ships flying around, which likely were Scourge ships. After they were done discussing the Scourge, they talked about the recent meeting with the Ancaron, before moving on to the matter of the possible Predecessor power cell.

 Lauren: The information talks of "a planet, dead for ages, shielded for eternity."

Gen. Yelslew: What?

 Lauren: I'm not sure what exactly they mean, but it could be a clue as to its location. Aside from this, it talked about various things that don't seem to help other then roughly identifying the item, if you want to read the full text, I have a record of it. In addition to this text, I have found out rough coordinates of the planet, but the area still is nearly a million cubic light years in volume, so it would take a while to search from system to system.

Capt. Andurn: Now that's a big area.

Capt. Vashuri: Is there any way of finding the planet in a decent amount of time?

 Lauren: Possibly sending a ton of probes to the various systems we could at least narrow it down to a few likely candidates. I do have several probes that could be mass produced to explore the area.

Michael: That sounds like a good idea.

Gen. Yelslew: Indeed it does.

Yintar-Yanar

Nikki: Lamranu again?

Nick: Relax, this is the last of Lamranu.

Nikki: Good.

Nick: Overview of the central Lamranu area, with the crazy onramp visible at the bottom.

Nikki: The industrial area, which was very slightly visible in the last update.

Nick: The central areas is also the high wealth area of town.

Nikki: Lots of swimming pools, some bigger than others.

Nick: Though not all of the area is high wealth.

Nikki: Shops!

Nick: Not again...

Nikki: DpSB rating is still a tad high. Nowhere near as bad as that one area last update, though.

Comments:

pipishere: Ad about the only way I could think of to make it work.

Leech10: Where'd you get that communicator?

Schulmanator: It would likely get quite a lot on eBay...

[CarmineHilton 6]

Oh my, this is all way to Sci-Fi for me =p

And the inhabitants of Myon sure are ugly... haha XD

Nice building though...

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Unidentified ships? UFOs?

Cool!!

Pyramid

September 3rd, 0165AL (2021)

Brian: Why must the planet be so foggy?

Brad: At least there's a path leading to the gate.

Brian: Anyway, there's nothing coming up on the life signs detector.

Major Zargolf: lets move out.

Lt. Black: Good thing we only have to explore the pyramid.

They began to make their way down the column-lined path to the pyramid, while keeping an eye out for anything out of the ordinary, dangerous, or both.

After climbing the steps on the pyramid, the carefully entered after scanning for any possible traps.

Lt. Black: Good, it's not as foggy in here.

Major Zargolf: Spread out, and let us know if you find anything interesting.

 Laur: I found a hole.

Major Zargolf: Where?

 Laur: Back of the room, it seems to lead deeper into they pyramid.

Brian walked over and began to scan the opening.

Brian: It goes down and then turns, I can't tell what is beyond the turn.

Major Zargolf: Keep looking though this room, if we can't find anything else, we'll check out the passaged.

Major Zargolf suddenly looked up and stared out of one of the openings to outside.

Brad: What is it?

Major Zargolf: Someone's dialing the gate.

A loud clank, followed by the sound of a kawoosh forming, announced the opening of a wormhole.

To be continued...

Yintar-Yanar

Nikki: Farms

Nick: There aren't many farms in the area, mainly due to all of the hills, so much of the area surrounding Yintar and Yanar is left forested.

Nikki: Like this area, for example.

Nick: The road heading to the top of the picture, if you can see it, heads up into the mountains.

Nikki: Same road, farther up in the mountains.

Nick: The Lamar campground, located high up in the mountains.

Nikki: i suggest you bring warm clothes,as it can get cold up there.

Nikki: More of the campgrounds. Seems to be a busy day, and a slow day at the same time.

Nick: One of the paths leading away from the camp heads farther up the mountain, and ends at a viewing area, where you can look out over the Yanar river off to the south.

Nikki: Of course, the other path leads down the mountains to a more forested area.

Nick: Some of the trails are open, where there are also numerous smaller, hidden trails.

Comments:

CarmineHilton: Don't let them know you said that...

Schulmanator: More like USSs.. (Unidentified starships...)

tankmank: Glad you like it!

zelgaids: You'll have to wait and see.

jacqulina: Thanks for the comment!

[Schulmanator 5,787]

I am loving the pyramid. It's even better than the $20,000 pyramid!

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Argh! Pirates! Let's dispatch the task force, me hearties!

[fabsies55 5]

your actual cities look greay and so do your forested areas. keep up the awesome work, and i dunno if im the only one but im not really interested in the story lol.

[Zelgadis 638]

Wow, that pyramid is way cool!

If it weren't for the fog, I reckon any bad guys coming through the gate would be easy pickings. But now...

ISF

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Pyramid, part 2

September 3rd, 0165AL (2021)

They watched the gate the best that they could from the pyramid, and soon a ship emerged from the gate, flew up and over the pyramid, and disappeared into the fog.

Major Zargolf: It's a GS-1? Brad?

Brad: It either was a GS-1 or some other civilization with the same type of ship.

Brian: For one, Daniel Jackson's people had puddle jumpers too, the al'Hasiq are sure to have them as well.

Lt. Black: So we don't have a clue who that was.

Major Zargolf: No. All we know is that they aren't interested in the pyramid, or us.

Major Zargolf: Brad, Lt. Black, keep scanning the area to see if the ship comes back, Brian and Laur, come with me.

Lt. Black: Yes, sir.

Major Zargolf, Brian, and Laur walked over to the hole and carefully made their way down the steps, scanning the area as they went.

The passage didn't go down very far, it ended in a small room near where the base of the pyramid would be. However, the room itself was far more interesting than the rest of the pyramid. For one, it had a door.

Brian: Not picking up much past the door, other than that there seem to be nothing dangerous in the room.

Major Zargolf: Now, how do we open the door?

 Laur: It seems like it needs some sort of signal, similar to the al'Hasiq technology.

Major Zargolf: Brian, see if you can open it.

Brian walked over to the door, and everyone stood off to the side of the split in the door. Then Brian put his hand on the door, which caused it to shake, then slowly open up.

 Laur: Interesting, could be Predecessor tech...

They entered the room to find that it wasn't much more interesting than the rest of the pyramid, other than a small, more advanced looking object at the other end of the room.

Brian: Only thing that really registers is whatever that thing is. As far as I can tell, nothing is dangerous.

Laur looked over the object, and soon found a round, dark yellow crystalline object.

 Laur: Could that be a Predecessor power cell?

Brian: If it is, it's either dead or nearly so, because it's barely showing up on the scanner.

 Laur: Are sure it is safe to remove it?

Brian: Yes.

Laur pressed the object, which popped enough so it could be removed. Laur took it out of the other object... and nothing happened.

Major Zargolf: Okay, its time to head back, unless you've found anything else of interest here.

 Laur: No, the object just seems to be a storage device, at most it was powering the door.

They passed though the still-open door and walked back up to the top of the pyramid.

Brian: We found what appears to be a Predecessor power cell, with seemingly a bit of power left.

Lt. Black stomped on something, and lifted up her foot to find the mushed remains of what seemed to be a large bug.

Brad: And Aubrey found a big bug. Anyway, could it be possible that this planet is the one Lauren mentioned?

 Laur: I doubt it, it was supposedly "dead for ages, shielded for eternity," and this planet is neither.

Brad: So a free power cell?

Brian: Apparently.

Major Zargolf: Did that ship come back?

Lt. Black: No, we would have contacted you if it did.

Major Zargolf: Okay, lets move out.

Yintar-Yanar

Nick: The western part of that actual city part of Yintar, just to the east of Lamranu.

Nikki: Very hilly, too. I suggest you get your brakes checked before coming.

Nick: Especially in the winter.

Nikki: At least the developed area is flat.

Nikki: Down in the valley is the commercial area.

Nick: Odd, its up on top of the hills, too...

Nikki: With residential in between.

Nick: You can also see part of a cloverleaf interchange between M-3 and the M-3 loop around Yintar and Yanar.

Comments:

Schulmanator: Hmmm... $20,000, or a nearly depleted Predecessor power cell?

Leech10: More info on the Galur colony? Isn't there anything else going on?

Schulmanator: Indeed.

fabsies55: And that is one reason why I have city pics here.

Zelgadis: There's always the "spray and pray" method of weapon fire...

[Schulmanator 5,787]

The town is nicely terraced... could make for some wicked skateboarding...

do they have skateboards there?

[Zelgadis 638]

Psst... I think that should be "interested" in the pyramid.

So... What good is a mostly-dead power cell going to be? I guess we're going to find out. And the bug has to be in there for some reason or another. Hmmm...

Ah, and the walls you're using. The fences slope! That's kinda rare. A) Where did you get them and B) what menu do they appear in?

Y'know, I've always meant to stop by this cj and check it out. Now that I have the time, I really must say that it is quite good-looking. The story is intriguing as well. This will be my Schulmania-like post where I take one for the team. Hopefully a long-time commenter will deservedly win and create someone worth reading about!

Looks good, can't wait for more!
