I've just finished the initial map. Here it is:
This is the state of the world in the year 2032. This political state was caused by an exodus of almost all nations from the UN in 2024 which dramatically reduced it's power, leaving many powerful nations free to expand into neighbouring nations and take over. In North America, Mexico and Canada declared war on the USA, leaving the US President no choice but to order an attack on both nations and estabilish the NAU or North American Union. Anarchy takes hold in Central and Southern America as military rebellions become dramatically more frequent, whereby the new NAU takes action and invades. In Europe, the EU attempts to forcefully abolish the identity of it's member states and thus creates the Europa League. The Europa League expands outwards into a new maritime empire, halted eventually by the NAU and the EAU and the crippling invasion of the Russian Empire and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. In Africa, military coups manage to overthrow all governments and estabilish the Arfikaa nation, now struggling to hold off the Saudi advance. Across the north of Asia, Russia sees it's oppertunity and invades neighbouring nations en mass, forming the mighty Russian Empire. In the Middle East, Saudi Arabia aggresively expands into the rest of the Arabian Peninsula, successfully defeating the Europa League and the Russian Empire. In the Far East, Japan becomes militarised and manages to conquer a large sphere of territories, known as the EAU or Eastern Asian Union. It meets substantial resistance by the Europa League, the Russian Empire and Greater Korea who all manage to push them onto the defensive.
I've noticed that it's impossible to identify the smallest islands due to resolution. Here's the links to each individual island group:

The Undying.
We have sent a fleet through the Kyoto wormhole. They have been propelled to the galaxy V0-L7R-0N, in the western portion of the universe, and have initiated communications with the Aradian empire fleets monitoring the far end of the wormhole. We dropped comm bouys throughout the wormhole, and they are relatively unaffected by the tidal forces due to white holes at their cores. This allows us constant communication to out science station inside the event horizon of the Kyoto rift.
Black hole construction techniques allow for adaptation of ancient hydrogue battle armors by forming crystlized cryptonium hulls in the immense pressure and heat at the core of a singularity, and allow for total fusion of parts reducing construction time to that needed for fabrication.
While my allies may be slowing production of war craft, I am ramping up production, because there is no way this peace can last long with an unknown force eradicating a large sector of the galaxy.
Good plan. You are probably right.
Has nobody picked up on my hints? All the references? Can you not see?
I suppose I should have read the JSD. I now appear to be at Upsilon stage for "Destroying or otherwise ravaging a planet." I did that multiple times. Now i'm going to be treated with suspicion....
Samurye.
its the Riftwalkers
Yes. Turn down the size a bit though.
The monsters hiding in the blackkness are the Riftwalkers, those men that were scattered during the Vetaron Wars. THey have travled through time and space, and after a long battle against the Hydrogues, they were imprisoned in Unspace. They have now been released. An Xi stage race, they are one of the most powerful and vicious group of beings in exestance, and now they have returned to their home reality. They will not rest untill those who wronged them have been exterminated, and nothing will stand in their way.
erm my species drove another almost to extinction... but there back... so.... does that mean i get upgraded in the scale thing?
back to the probes
probe delta 3456 has located a habiltable planet on the other side of the Kyotonian Rift.....
there are life signs!
.....
large energy spike from the surface.....
JESUS!!!
the probe has been.... i dont know its not there anymore but.... no AM weaponry..... no singularity weapons... anything else would cause debris.....
HEAR THIS!!!
XIN 'TA 'FAXI HIGH COMMAND HAS ISSUED A QAURANRINE ZONE AROUND THE KYTONIAN RIFT.... AMY SHIP ENTERING OR LEAVING THE RIFT WILL BE DEATOMISED ON SIGHT!
* On Talath the Garden/Farming world that sustained Xi'Teleath during the Great Dark of FTL*
(remember Talath and Xi'Teleath are twin worlds orbiting each other Xi'Teleath is the great City-World centre of the Imperiums government and World Of Origin for the Xi'Ta'Faxi people)
......
on the great Monastery-Temple of Til'Re'Hath The Eternal Gaurdian,
High Elder Mureth: {draws a rattling breath} [in a whispering old voice] HE.... has .... returned....gather ...the ... council...we must awaken the Gaurdian....only He can stop the Shadows from returning and creating a Second Dark on the Empire /loss of FTL/ We Must Maintain The Great Balance or all hope is lost.... even the Timewights cannot stop him once he gains his ful power....
Elder Rishel: High Elder.... this cannot be!.... the Equilibrium may collapse if we awaken the Gaurdian.... he is the only thing keeping the TwinWorlds in a stable orbit..... if we awaken him and he leaves the Twin Worlds.... Xi'Teleath and Talath would be destroyed!
HE Mureth: So be it even if i must destroy the very Imperium itself, i will awaken the Gaurdian
*note * the Xin'Ta'Faxi are icredibly survival minded to do what he is about to do and imperil the Imperium is almost a sin to the Xin'Ta'Faxi, this shows how dire things have become for Xin'Ta'Fax
this part ties in with the Master in the other RP.... he is trying to gain access to this realm.... so that he can gain his full power and sweep all sentient life from the multiverse....and establish himself as the ultimate power....the Gaurdian of Teleath is one of very few powers who dare oppose him.... and if he not stoped in the other RP then the Gaurdian will be the last line of defense
whilst this is going on Xin'Ta'Faxi patrols have spotted a small Kyotonian force trying to sneak by FN territory.... Just a heads up samureye
we have been in contact with our Earth 2 counterparts, and they are preparing The Defense
if the Xin'Ta'Faxi of this reality fail.... then they will be our last hope to contain the breach..... if The Master gains victory here he intends to travel to Earth 2 in order to sap the energies of that reality.... which will destroy it..... if he gains the Earth 2 energies he will commnece Phase 3.... a full invasion of Segen...... he intends to usurp the timewights and use their power to destroy the Ucori and add their power to his own....then he intends to attack the Ark itself..... if he contends with the Ark theres no telling what would happen.... he will probably fail but if he can Subvert the Ark.....
@vision of the unraveling of the very fabric of reality and causeality.....and of the New Reality of The Shadow@
oh dear
this doesnt bode well
maybe i should....... mmm...... the Gaurdian is the exact opposite of The Master....The Light against The Dark if you will Yin and Yang... they cant be destroyed but they can contain each other
im guessing the Timewight are watching very closely
*looks around*
i know that there are atleast 3 spying on The Master right now.....
and he doesnt like it....
may i suggest backing off a few realities away? when hes angry Universes tend to disassemble themselves....then implode
The Ark is the entirity of all power in reality incarnate. As the Ark's power wains, so does reality's power. As reality's power increases, so does the Ark's power. Therefore, no-one can be more powerful than the Ark. Reality will "come full circle" when the Ark dies, but that's still a very long way away.
If your prophecy is true, I'd bet a whole legion of Timewights are watching him.
It does say unjustified extinction, so you're in the clear. Don't get too hyped up about the JSD anyway.
There's only one reality. Timewights of Landotronian rank or above are not threatened - they can already modify entire universes.
In light of recent events, Mr. Q has appeared to address this issue. Seraph-commander Macãzar has travelled from Ochuriaz to speak with the middle universe factions (he doesn't have his annoying accent anymore).
i am willing to send the High Elder to this meeting.... he has certain.... influences and information that could be of use....he is the representative of our peoples deight The Gaurdian the force of light to balance The Dark... The Master seems to be an incarnation of The Dark One, The End-Bringer Lord of Chaos bringer of the Great Storm.... and his most omnous title... for our people anyway Destroyer Of The Twin Worlds
by the way What accent?!?
Macãzar used to have a strong spanish accent which was very difficult to make out. I'll stop him speaking in broken english, but he still has his spanish accent.
Like me? Thats why i tend not to use voice chat anymore
The High Elder of The Council Of Temples wishes to meet with these middle Universe factions...and Mr Q he has information regarding the Master... he also wishes High councillor Srell'Thun'Delrain to be present as the representavive of the Council Of Advisors, the Council wishes him to debrief the Emperor of The Twin Worlds... Ruler of Xin'Ta'Fax and Keeper of The Eternal Flame of Xin G'Lnilra Lord Of The Great Temple
Note The Great Temple is a large spacestation in the exact centre between the twin homeworlds it is older than our species and contains the Sacred Relics which allow us to speak with The Gaurdian Of The Balance Yin'Ta'Xi'Yang The Gaurdian is the only power that can oppose The Great Shadow of legend.... The Master appears to be either The Great Shadow or one of its most powerful servants
(Glrinra is the Name of TheEmperor of The Xin'Ta'Fax Imperium the Flame of Xin is a powerful artifact housed in the Temple....it can summon the Gaurdian and can be used as a weapon of terrible power, the legends say that once there was a second civilization on the primary homeworld they called themselves the Rishi lei they where a race of technologically advanced mystics and psionics, they tried to use the Flame to destroy The Shadow which had manifested itself as a great Darkness over the Great City (oldest settlement on the planet) they drove it back to the Abyss but where destroyed utterly no trace of them remain....
WE are the middle universe factions. There's the western universe; completely dominated by the Aradian Empire, the eastern universe; formerly controlled by the now drastically shrunken Saiv Empire and now inhabited by a plethora of races, and the middle universe; inhabited by us.
Yeah, I guess. The Aradian language should make complete sense to you then. The Saiv are a little different; their language is a 'smoother' version of the German language and they also speak it using a Spanish accent.
oh right yeah i forgot about that
still the High Elder asks that the leaders of the Factions meet at the Great Temple of the Twin Worlds, there he will tell you the Legends of the Guardian and The Shadow and outline his plan.... he asks you to bring any sort of offering to the gaurdian you can.... the more offerings the better the chance of his coming to our aid like the Time Of War or The Time Of Renewal
To state the basis for this meeting, it is not in the Aradian interests to rely on the Guardian to defeat the Master. The Aradians believe that the combined industrial capacity of their approx. 62.5 million galaxies is way more than sufficient to defeat the Master. They do not even consider the Master a threat, and are basically here to give aid to the races of the middle universe. You'll probably think differently of course.
of corse i do The Master laid waste a thousand worlds across a hundred Galaxies he has caused the Destruction of 32,000 planets.... in a year and the destruction of ........ ah cant calculate it ..... a really REALLY big number of species.... and three minor Universes although that was only his least slave M'thindor the Defiled who was killed in the Battle Of A Thousand Suns 3 Millenia ago..... he has also attacked the
ns 3 Millenia ago..... he has also attacked the Aradians and destroyed 2/3 of their Home Galaxy.... although it did look like a natural disaster... he didnt want to incur their wrath.... then....but if he does manage to take control of the Middle he will attack the West soon after..... they would do well to fear him....even if their Blinding Arrogance would allow it.... he has already drawn his plans agsinst them.... if the Gaurdian fails then the Aradians will surely Perish with the rest of this Universe
i cant edit or post on the last page i have to use page 24 to post...weird
The Aradians are protected from such cataclysm by the Ucori, so that wouldn't have happened.
*Considers bombing the Master's base with the Stellar Converter*
Too easy? or is there some reason that i cannot do that?
