Gothic III - Conventional / Gothic III - Updates Thread
« Last post by Steve Walmsley on Today at 08:27:20 AM »Background
In 2032, Earth was attacked without warning by an alien armada, which bombarded the surface from orbit. The aliens were apparently only interested in devastating the planet as there was no follow-up invasion. Only pockets of humanity remained, living in near-medieval conditions in a cold, irradiated wasteland. In the centuries that followed, some semblance of civilisation returned with the emergence of villages, towns and eventually small city states. Even though knowledge of the Fall was part of collective human memory in the form of myths and legends, humanity was fractured and small wars still broke out over territory or resources. A thousand years after the attack, one of these nascent states, known as the Imperium, began to expand its borders, either by conquering its city-state neighbours or by forming alliances based on the concept that humanity must unite and prepare for another alien attack. The Imperium was led by a mysterious figure known only as the Emperor, who seemingly never aged, guiding his subjects for decades and eventually centuries.
Humanity slowly recovered from the Fall, albeit at a glacial pace due to most of the easily accessible resources being consumed by the previous human civilization. Technology was based on wind and water power, then steam and eventually the internal combustion engine. Meanwhile, the Imperium, guided by the Emperor, developed into an economic, scientific and military powerhouse that gradually expanded until it dominated its home continent. Driven by his concern for the long-term fate of humanity, the Emperor announced the Imperium’s possession of nuclear weapons and intercontinental bombers by launching a mass strike against all the key military and industrial targets of its major rivals. The Great War ensued, lasting almost ten years and causing significant devastation across the globe, but when it ended the Imperium stood alone. A century of peace, reconstruction and scientific advancement followed the bloodshed, known as the Pax Imperium, during which the Imperium’s in-depth education programs ensured that old national rivalries were extinguished.
The post-war period was brought to an end by the discovery of Trans-Newtonian physics in the late 40th Century. The Emperor decreed that the Imperium would become a star-faring civilization, dedicated to building a military force capable of seeking out and destroying the aliens that had almost wiped out humanity, along with all other potential threats. The first step would be to convert the entire industrial base of the planet, renamed Terra in honour of the new era of humanity, to the new technology. Terra’s economic might would be the foundation from which humanity would venture forth to conquer the stars.

The conversion of all industry to Trans-Newtonian technology was completed on December 4th 4004, resulting in 1800 construction factories, 1000 mines and 400 financial centres. More than a year later, after the construction of several fighter factories, a series of Cygnus class geological survey craft began construction, with the first launched on May 24th 4006. The Cygnus was a bare bones design intended primarily for a survey of the Sol system. While the inner planets proved disappointing, two vital discoveries were made in the outer system. Io, the innermost of the four Galilean moons, had substantial deposits of Duranium, Neutronium and Corundium at mid to high accessibility. Saturn had over three million tons of accessibility 1.0 Sorium in its atmosphere, providing a fuel source for the Imperium for decades to come.

A series of four Corvus class gravitational survey craft were launched in early 4009, similar in design to the Cygnus except for improved armour and a different sensor. They were followed in March and July 4009 by the first large Trans-Newtonian spacecraft: a Carrack class freighter and a Caravel class colony ship respectively. The new ships were used to establish a lunar colony. While Terra’s moon had no mineral deposits, the Emperor saw the moon as a first step into interstellar colonisation and a catalyst for the development of fledgling civilian shipping lines. That proved prescient with the completion of the first civilian ship by Zagan Freight later the same year.

The new Corvus class ships began finding jump points in Sol, but had no way to explore them. Consequently, a new small craft design, the jump-capable Aquila class scout, was developed and six were constructed, starting in July 4010.

Eventually, six jump points were discovered in Sol and probed by the Aquilas. The innermost led to Proxima, a red dwarf system with two small and unremarkable planets. Jump point two led to Alpha Centauri, a far more interesting binary system with eleven planets and almost eight moons. Two planets had thin nitrogen-oxygen atmospheres and several more were colony cost 2.00 worlds in the habitable zone. The geological survey proved disappointing, with nothing of note except the ruins of an alien city on Alpha Centauri-B V, most likely another victim of the same aliens that attacked Terra two thousand years earlier. A number of factories and mines and a research facility were recovered and converted for human use.
Jump point three connected to a planetless brown dwarf system, which was named Styx. Beyond jump points four and five were Barnard’s Star and Andromeda, neither of which held anything of interest. Jump point six led to Scarus, a red dwarf binary with five planets and several comets. One of the latter would eventually become a mining colony. Scarus and Barnard’s Star connected only to each other, so the Cygnus and Corvus class survey craft, escorted by the Aquilas, began to explore beyond the other four systems.

General C# Fiction / United Nations Enclave - Scenario
« Last post by Kiero on March 02, 2024, 08:55:41 AM »
In the year 1980, humanity bore witness to a revelation that would forever alter the course of its cosmic understanding. Nestled within the asteroid belt of our solar system, a colossal structure resembling a ring was discovered. The implications of this monumental find sparked intrigue and speculation across the globe. It was an enigma waiting to be unraveled, a beacon beckoning humanity to explore the depths of space with renewed fervor.
Thanks to the concerted efforts of the United Nations, a decade later, an expedition was launched to explore this celestial marvel. The intrepid crew returned bearing astonishing samples of materials, leading to the revelation of Trans-Newtonian Minerals—a quantum leap in our comprehension of space and resources.
In the year 2002, humanity witnessed a technological milestone as the first spacecraft powered by the new propulsion system set sail from our shores. With this breakthrough, the once-inaccessible corners of our solar system became within reach, beckoning explorers to venture forth into the unknown.
Efforts to decipher the mysteries of the colossal structure surged ahead with unprecedented momentum. Years of tireless research and innovation culminated in a breakthrough in 2005, unveiling the true nature of the structure: a gateway to another stellar system, christened "Procul Astrum"—Latin for "Distant Star."
Under the auspices of the United Nations, humanity established its first colony within the uncharted realms of Procul Astrum. The colony stood as a testament to human ingenuity and the indomitable spirit of exploration, fostering hope for a future where the boundaries of our existence extended far beyond the confines of our own solar neighborhood.
However, tragedy struck on May 13, 2024, at 4:10 AM. Both the gates within our solar system and in Procul Astrum suffered a catastrophic malfunction, shattering the dreams of interstellar cooperation and exploration. The event sent shockwaves through the scientific community and beyond, casting a pall of uncertainty over the future of humanity's cosmic ambitions.
As humanity grapples with the aftermath of this unforeseen calamity, questions linger about the true nature of the gates, their origin, and the implications of their collapse. Yet, amid the debris of shattered hopes and dreams, the indomitable spirit of exploration endures, inspiring future generations to seek answers among the stars and to forge new paths toward understanding the universe that surrounds us.
Now, as the leader of a community severed from its native planet, you stand at the forefront of an entirely new challenge. In the wake of the catastrophic failure of the gates, a sense of isolation pervades the once-thriving colony within Procul Astrum. Cut off from the familiar embrace of Earth, the inhabitants of this enclave find themselves adrift in the vast expanse of space, grappling with uncertainty and fear.
In response to the crisis, the United Nations Enclave has been established as a beacon of hope and resilience in the face of adversity. As its appointed leader, the weight of responsibility falls squarely upon your shoulders. Guiding your people through the trials ahead will demand courage, ingenuity, and unwavering resolve.
Yet, amidst the uncertainty, there exists a glimmer of possibility—a chance to forge a new destiny among the stars, to build a society that transcends the boundaries of old. The journey ahead will be fraught with challenges, but it is also brimming with opportunity. May wisdom and perseverance light your path as you navigate the uncharted territories.
It is one year later. Will you find the gate creators? Will you find a way back to Earth?... Good luck.
*To play you need to download AuroraDB.db - remember to make a backup of your current DB.
*You will also need Medals.zip (unzip it to Aurora Medals folder).
The first issue of this scenario is clean, you are free to design this expedition ships and troops.
The second one will have a set of design ships and components.

This process involves more than a quick three-second command and a copy-paste; considerable effort is invested while simultaneously playing the game and controlling all races, including humans and, if applicable, aliens. As spoilers, only Raiders and Precursors are currently active, and there may or may not be swarms introduced at some point via SM.

While we have been giving the Martians our full attention, they appear to have somehow determined how to travel between stars."
"Rather devious of them, sir."
