I didn't think we'd get a huge ship to transport our 12 man strike team secretly. I thought we were talking something shuttle size.

Vernid:

The Vernid are an insectoid species with two arms and two legs, the have short antennae and green overlapping chitin plates constitute their exoskeleton. They have big, bulging black eyes that can change wavelengths to human-like eyesight. And are the most advanced race in the galaxy in terms of tech, and are some of the best technicians in existence.
The Vernid are not overly tall reaching only six feet at the highest, but all of them are gangly and wiry.
The grasshopper-like species uses their antennae for silent communication and moves them in patterns to communicate.
Unlike the Bandores of Murkuss Five, the Vernid find English almost the exact same to their verbal language. And took very little time to master it fully.

Tech:
The Vernid use plasma/electromagnetic weapons and fusion cutters to perform tasks from repelling a pirate raid, to fixing a broken down droid (what should we call service robots? Which I assume we have in the future) the Vernid possess a natural affinity with technology.

The desert planet of Syrule, which the Vernids call their home was the first to be discovered in 2012 and expeditions sent there by 2014 the satellite attracted the attention of the space-faring Vernids who where also searching for alien life but using jump-drives already when they arrived at earth they were overjoyed to see it populated but could not communicate with the ‘earthers’ after several meetings with earths officials and using pictograms, they managed to begin to understand the language and within a month had mastered it fully. By this point they negotiated with the earthers for trading, the earthers would trade their strange ‘urainium’ which proved to work perfectly in jump-drives and other tech. for the secrets of faster than light travel. With this, the coalition was born.
Now. Hundreds of years later, the Vernid and humans are still the most stable allies within the coalition senate and will almost always back the terrans (the planetary name was changed in 2018) on any matter.

(I will put race modifiers soon)

(btw Mordo was I overstepping my bounds in explaining the Mcabrian corpse being in the middle of nowhere?)

SABRIANS
In an attempt to eliminate the immense drain on Coalition coffers caused by rampant crime, the Arcturan scientist Hallia Sabrian developed a series of enforcement androids to maintain the law across Coalition space. The so called Sabrians were programmed with every Coalition law and ordinance, the robots were intended to serve as judge, jury, and executioner, by making judgments based on the suspect's previous history and personality. Or so they were intended to do. Instead, the Sabrians made a habit of declaring every suspect guilty and then proceeding to execute them. In an attempt to control the situation, the Coalition rounded up as many of the Sabrians as they could and had them destroyed. Some, however, survived, and still roam Coalition space, enforcing the law with an iron fist.

And what does that say? All it says is Inter Astrum Deep Strike. Your starting to spam.

**ineptus astartes**

judge dredd in space?

**ineptus astartes**

I mean the SHIP!

**Mordoskul**

(btw Mordo was I overstepping my bounds in explaining the Mcabrian corpse being in the middle of nowhere?)

Naw, that's fine.

**Devastator**

On what year does this rpg take place?
And how large caliber weaponry do we have?

**ineptus astartes**

VERNID:

**Kasrkai**

Uh-huh...

Anyway, Mordo, can you give a detail about the situation on Deneb?

**ineptus astartes**

@Devestator: after Blood Moon I think...

**ineptus astartes**

and the Deneb biosphere?

**WARORK93**

Do the Vernids happen to look like this?

Spoiler:

albeit with only two arms...

EDIT: D'oh! Ninja'd yet again!

**Devastator**

ineptus astartes wrote:@Devestator: after Blood Moon I think...

I know, i was asking what year is in the RP.

**Kasrkai**

ineptus astartes wrote:and the Deneb biosphere?

Top post.

@ Devastator: He said most guns were gauss powered but some are still gunpowder. I like to think they have a powder charge then a magnetic coil to pull them. I'm not sure how the plasma works, but I have a good guess.

**ineptus astartes**

like killiks? no (see above image of verpine)

**ineptus astartes**

thou a Killik looking race would be awsome...

**ineptus astartes**

Shaper forces have smashed the Eastern Fleet with sheer numbers, pushing forwards deep into the Raylid Colonies. Hundreds of thousands of living transports have disgorged millions of shaped, who have been locked in a planetary meatgrinder against the native Raylids, who attack with reckless abandon. The Coalition is primarily concerned with buying enough time to evacuate the planet, with little hope for victory. Reinforcements are weeks away, and the situation looks bleak.

For some reason, those remind me of a certain movie I watched once....it had termite aliens who ate somebody's head off and were using human slaves to chop down trees for food...

anyway, right now I'm wondering what the race modifiers for the Quarra are...

**ineptus astartes**

getting to work on them now!

QUARRA MODIFIERS

Laser tech: quarra are the only race that can use the Laser-Rifle. -1 stealth (as quarra are likely to ribbit when nervous) +1 CC. +1 survival. +1 bladed weapons aptitude. -1 bludgeoning +1 survival +3 tech (quarra tech only. they are the same as everyone else when using xenotech)

**ineptus astartes**

I think Chilcera look like killiks (with an extra pair of legs)

**ineptus astartes**

so mordo, do you have a name for the ship?
