KEEP THAT DAMN PROBE AWAY FROM MY DREAD ASS!!!!

i was thinking terrain, warmer, cold, temperate, urban?

Leader name: Lucius Sinclair
physical description: Without suit, he is a handsome yet wolfish looking man who relishes battle and conflict, anarchy and vengeance, blood and manipulation. He has cold blue eyes and raven black hair closely cropped
equipment: GD-10, Integrated Combat Suit, Tiberium Resonance Blade

Faction name: Jackals (Mercenary Organization)
History: In an alternate universe of the C&C Universe, Nod never came about and GDI became a protectorate of 1st world nations unaffected by the Tiberium who hoarded resources for themselves. Smaller nations and territories abandoned by GDI were left to fend for themselves thus resorting to the hiring of Mercenaries to fight for resources for them at a fairly steep price. Jackals have become a well noted Mercenary Organization especially after obtaining some of the high tech equipment that GDI is known to use via unknown means.
Race description: Humans
Faction Behavior: Vicious and merciless, any job will be done for the right price except betrayal, all Jackals are steadfastly loyal to the Organization and hold any and all traitors in utter contempt, going so far as to kill those who betray their brethren to them once they have fulfilled their purpose.

Downsides: Normally operate in small numbers and are fairly lightly armored

Oh, snap, I'll fix that I assumed it was the same as the other thread

all posted sheets accepted, when i make/post a map we will start

Empire sheet
Leader name: Muscula Caelorum Primus
physical description: Largest, most vulnerable of the Muscula Caelorum. Controls all other "bugs" through telepathic bonds.
Faction name:Muscula Caelorum
History: The "Bugs" as they are commonly known evolved on the ground, before any other species. They "transcended" this state and began living in a bio-mechanical "hive" floating in low atmosphere. Their bodies became more fragile and their understanding of science and technology expanded beyond that of most other species. They return to the ground to gather resources from factions they find statistically vulnerable.
Race description: The bodies of Muscula Caelorum are soft and weak, so they are hidden behind layers of bio-mechanical "exoskeletons", these consist of devices required to move the body as well as advanced optical and thermal cloaking systems and a "grav-pac" a system used to replace the Bugs' archaic wings.
Faction Behavior: Muscula Caelorum hunt in packs of stealthy, blood thirsty warriors trained by instinct and a desire for their species to survive. Utilizing laser-based weaponry they burn through heavy armor as well as setting fire to organic matter. They behave in a manner similar to bees, wasps, and ants.
Benefits: Advanced cloaking, powerful laser technology, speedy "grav-pacs"
Downsides: No real "armor" whatsoever, limited behavior and creativity, will fly into fire and other organic light sources like "moths to the flame" if confused. Dependent on connection to Muscula Caelorum Primus.

Did I add mine too late?

no

When can we start this?

Empire sheet
Leader name: Prometheus
physical description: A.I
Age: 2 years (+ time trapped in warp)
equipment: Hexasphere

Faction name : Prometheus (An unintentional byproduct of Aperture Science)

History: Roughly around the same time Glados was created, the aperture space exploration division utilized the new A.I. technology to create Prometheus. His main purpose was to travel to mars and set up a base before Black mesa got there. After a year and a half the Triton Jump gate prototype was created. The mission was to build an automated base on mars in preparation for when human astronauts arived. Thus, the Hexasphere was created,(see link below (but imagine it as a 5 story tall walking factory) The spacecraft was launched into the portal and then no trace of Prometheus was found afterwords. aperture was beginning to investigate what happened, but then glados killed everyone and Prometheus was forgotten about. however, the Triton jump gate was actually a primitive warp portal and Prometheus was launched into the warp until it was dumped on the planet

Race description: ROBOTS! (look up Portal/Portal 2 to get a feel for the faction style)
Faction Behavior: (unknown at this time)
Benefits: highly advanced technology
Downsides: (ill think of some later)

(im back sorry for the absence, my internet has been down for a while recently it will be back up later this week.)

can we starts?????

As a heads up I will be gone for a week, jobs are a pain like that

come thursday i can put my crude excuse of a map up and start still dont have internet at home :(

here is a discription of the planet people can start posting now if they wish. if someone could provide a map that would be great, my map making skills are horrid.

The planet is a cold mountainous world once inhabited by many people there are several continents but there is very little water on the surface as most of it is inside the planet sealed away in caves and caverns. The planet is filled with tunnels and caverns as well. hive cities are more than common enough to spread down into these caverns as well.

So we are on a planet with no civilisation and we freeze our balls off....well i'm in a dreadnought .

((a very mountinous planet where we can freeze our balls off.
besides that there are groups of people and abandond hive cities.
civilization is relitively common when you look in the nooks and crannys))

**Unknown world, 40,847 **
the Grand Liberation army stormed the us and left none other than a swath of distruction in its wake. now they have captured an important reserch project and prepare it for use

"Solders of the Grand liberation army! we prepare now to leave for a new home. A new start for us, a new planet to rule!" The speech is interrupted by the solder's cheers "Now! The portal is ready, the charges are set. We depart now for our new home.

*the Grand Liberation Army departs the planet with their supplies*

**Aarumnerg, The Northern Dawn mountain range**

the Grand Liberation army emerges and uses their supplies to begin establishing a strongpoint in the mountains overlooking an inhabited valley.

The clouds above the valley slowly part, revealing the hive of the Muscula Caelorum.
Clouds of soldiers and workers descend to the inhabitants of the valley below.
Lead by Muscula Caelorum Pontificus Omega, they trade small, mysterious vials for moderate sums of raw metal and livestock.
All is peaceful and seems normal to both the inhabitants of the valley and the Muscula Caelorum.
The Muscula Caelorum begin carrying their new belongings up to the hive within an hour and a half.

Something had gone wrong, terribly wrong.

Lucius Sinclair and his full force of Jackals had done something unprecedented in their history. An all out assault on a GDI outpost that had "found something of monumental value," or so their employer had told them. The assault on the outpost had gone well despite the initial overwhelming odds, sneaking the mobile missile batteries within a mile of the outpost was a hard task, but well worth it as the outpost's anti missile defenses and anti air defenses had very little time to react. A little more bombardment from the missile batteries and the GDI forces lost most of their heavy support, no need to worry about the mammoth tanks and juggernauts. The rest was easy mop, the Jackals moved in during the bombardment and immediately began sniping out GDI leadership and heavy weapon teams. With the loss of command, or most of it, the GDI forces retreated from the area. The Jackals had then moved in to establish control. However, once they had established dominance over the area, something happened. It was like the ground itself opened up underneath them and everything disappeared.

Now here they were, definitely no longer on Earth. It was a cold planet. Looking to the sky, Lucius could see they were around the equator of the planet and the little sun that came through the skies above was from directly overhead. They had been here for eight hours, the entire Jackal force and fortunately the GDI outpost with them. Some of the Jackals had found the probable source of whatever moved them from Earth to this cold desolate place. A large, alien artifact, possibly an alien spacecraft, but whatever it was, it had activated for a brief moment and took them to this... wasteland.

"Sir!" A soldier was running up to Lucius.

What is it O'brien?" Lucius asked calmly, despite being a cutthroat individual, he was a caring, calm, and patient commander to his men. O'brien was part of the survey team, using radar, sonar, and ELF equipment to figure out what exactly were they dealing with here.

"Sir," said O'brien, "We discover what appears to be a city in a huge underground cavern and a surface entrance roughly 5 klicks due west from here." Lucius looked back towards the landscape, this desolate land upon which no life seemed to flourish. Sighing, he turned back to O'brien.

"Alert the others, I'll be leading a task force to the city in search for life and resources, we're damn lucky that the outpost came with us, but even with that we probably don't have enough supplies to last us a month unless we can get the recycling unit in working order again," Lucius noted the time given in his visor, knowing full well that is was probably completely off this planet's time as the sun hadn't seemed to move at all in the last 8 hours, "when our watches read 0330, I'll be heading out with the task force. By then, I want everyone inside the outpost and 25% security up and running."

"Yes sir," said O'brien, and with a nod he ran off to inform the other Jackals. Lucius did one last scan of the surrounding area looking for any signs of life. With nothing showing up, he sighed, and like a phantom, disappeared as he moved quietly back to the outpost.

"I know I don't believe in you God, but for the sake of my men, get us off this forsaken rock and back home, besides, I didn't do this job for nothing and have a paycheck I'd like to collect," muttered Lucius quietly to himself.

**Aarumnerg, The Northern Dawn mountain range** ((this is set on a 40k based world we cannot leave due to a massive warp storm blocking the system off from the rest of the universe. My faction is a renagade guard ish force from a secluded world that found an STC for gauss projectiles so we used some IG guns and some gauss guns.))

Johnson watched as many solders scrambled around the chosen site. Here a great fortress was being established to protect and shelter his people from the elements of this barren wasteland. The heavy gauss cannons were being moved into firing positions and tragectories were being calculated. Walls were being built already, while teams were marking out bunker locations and structure sites. Meanwhile other teams were putting up sandbag walls and heavy bolters to form forward firing positions. There were demolitions teams sealing off alternative routes into the fortress site. Lastly there were men setting up Anti aircraft batteries and scouting out the mountains for a good location for an airfield.

Down in the valley below-what the locals call nevermore valley- Clonel Serberus led a contingent of men assigned the monumentus task of scouting out for local settlements and farms.

From above Nevermore valley, the hive mind detects unfamiliar lifeforms, and beins to dispatch a diplomatic force of Drones and Soldiers lead by Muscula Caelorum Pontificus Alpha.
