Mine too, anyway, if it wasn't for the thread name, I'd forget what the original topic ever was...

(I meant to post this earlier, much, much earlier, and I was almost done typing it, when the tab closed on me. So, here it is...)
The Appearance, the Conflict, the Loss
We found them... the Xeno... It's not like we wanted to... they colonized a system near some of our new ones... it was new, so it was weak, right? At least, the Templar Knight under my command at the Durandal, my ship.
Knight: "We should send those templar cruisers while their weak, along with a few of those Steel Song Fighters."
"I... suppose..."
Advisor: "Sorry to interrupt, but that wouldn't work. They aren't dropships, so we can't invade them."
"How close are we to getting the tech for dropships?"
Advisor: "There are a few prerequisites, it'll be a little while, but we've got the basic ship design, we just need the drop pods."
Knight: "Well, even so, we should send the ships... We can keep the Xeno at bay until the drop pods are completed." They're both watching me, waiting for an answer... I don't know... I guess...
"Send the cruiser with a Steel Song Fighter... but not the fleet." They both acknowledge my orders and the knight goes to issue the order while my advisor goes to do whatever it is she does... wait, what's her name...? And the knight for that matter?! (I suck at coming up with names, so you guys tell me: what's the advisor's and the Templar Knight's name?)
[The planet came into view, and as the ships scanned, the only sign of Xeno activity is on the planet itself. Damn... the Templar captain looks around, sort of disappointed... then the Steel Song ship came into contact with him. "There's another system nearby, with Xeno activity... They're on their way here now, prepare... They're a few missile ships." The Templar acknowledged the other captain's words... And the crew prepared for battle...] Templar Cruiser
[This wasn't what we expected! Three missile ships, and a mass driver ship, all at once... then reinforcements came! The captain slammed his fist against the computer... "What the hell... why is this happening?!" These Sidtax were stronger and more in number then he'd thought... reinforcements came, we've successfully destroyed one ship, and they'd sent more... now we're surrounded... we can't escape even if we wanted to. "Don't worry, the leader has sent reinforcements... just hold your position until then..." damn it... our hull is severely damaged... this is bad...] Steel Song Fighter
The Templar delivered the report, and it didn't make my day... the Steel Song Fighter is down, they're completely outnumbered... some reinforcements are en route, but... our economy has fallen... horribly. We're losing money every week... we can't build more ships, I can't hire any agents to help start trade... We're in a very precarious situation... However, it's my duty to protect these people. With luck on our side, maybe the factions will trade on their own... if not, the ships we have, won't last long against the Xeno... but I won't give up...
(Alright, I notice I begin too many sentences with alright, so anyway, help me name The advisor and Templar... So, thisif this keeps up in-game, I'll have to make up stuff as I go along... unless the ending is... hmm... well it all depends. Just so people know, this is my first fan fiction for anything... that's why it's kinda bad. Again, tell me what you think. Is it good, what should I do to do better, or just diss it if you really, really don't like it...)

Too many... I still feel like the only Steel Song Clan guy here... despite what fallen says... I still don't see any... again, when did this topic get so... off-topic...? It began as independent (npc) MOs, then independent player MOs, then about something with ST2, forgot what in the middle of typing this , then something about De Valtos, more people being De Valtos, now the topic of me saying I'm the only public Steel Song... huh. Whatever... Who cares by this point?

ExpansionRychart has gotten the new star system, over toward the west... now we need strengthened... there's no telling when the Xeno will show... they're always out there, however, the people shouldn't have to worry... it'll worsen our situation if we start talking about the Xeno. I've sent some agents out, to get the factions to trade... Maybe we can get our economy balanced... There's been talk on the planets... "What do you think happened to the rest...?", or "Will they come back for us?" Such talk is inevitable, but hopefully it's silenced quickly... holding on to a blind hope like that will kill you in the end. This is reality, in front of us. Though even I've started to womder... what's happened to the other Templars? However, I've got to focus on this... still, you just can't help it. We sent our cruisers out, they've charted a few star systems... my advisor came up to me with the news. Advisor: "Sir, the cruisers have marked some star systems. I think we should get the factions ready to expand." "I think that's best... need to keep them busy. How's progress on the tech?" Advisor: "Slow, sir... However, right now we should get them to those systems." One of the cruisers found two star systems, and the Zenrin Clan sent out their colony ship, and the Steel Song Clan did too... Rychart was a little farther away from it. However they built one, just in case. My agents returned, they were successful. Good....We need the trade. I've found myself growing more confident as the weeks progress, and the factions too, appear to be getting use to it. Luckily, no wars have out..Even Zenrin and Rychart are allied... in faction politics, that is. For the empire, we are all in this together... I suppose old rivalries won't be forgotten... (Alright, this one was longer because I could play it more today... Anyway fallen thanks for the advice... I'll see if I can get a bit more story. Right now I admit, it's more of a glorified records. Anyway, I'll get some more later.)

You're playing as a smuggler, you're just selling into a shortage, halfway to your destination, for no apparent reason, an alien appears... they keep showing up when I DON'T want them to... anyway it's a smuggler, so you try escaping, it is too fast, so you fight back... destroy it's engines like nothing... odd. Anyway, you loot it... blah blah, anyway, you reach your destination...look at your money... then realize... you didn't salvage it... you accidentally left it...

I feel like I'm the only one (and shall be outcast by all Cadar, and slayernz by saying these words) who actually likes Steel Song...

Is that aimed toward me or poryg? If me, I died to a bounty hunter.

I don't care it this thread is a few months old and no answer, I'm still putting mine in... I also barely looked at the date, might even be a few years old for all I know.
So, playing as a merchant, and whatnot, doing stuff, when there was a shortage of gold nearby, along with a surplus a little ways off. So I went to the surplus, and halfway there... a Kraken. I couldn't escape, I don't really know why, it wrecked my ship, but miraculously, I escaped in the end... almost there, I can see it!... pirates... like, the pirate faction, pirates. My ship was wrecked by the Kraken, they finished it off... took all my gold... okay, I got it from a surplus, I'll just had to the nearby port... a warship for the east Acadian company... they'd gotten tired of me not submitting to their ships... they arrested me... then came the mutiny... I was badly wounded, morale low... okay, just... it'll take time, but I can regain my losses... for God's sake... another pirate destroyed my hull, and I sunk into the deep... Oh well, I'll just make a better merchant... probably.

Ever notice how the names of stars furthest to the South make the least sense? Names like "Thathachuab" and "Bhotshugnygg" just aren't found North of Y coordinate 35. I have to wonder if it is just a coincidence, an easter egg of some sort, or if Cory gave up and let a guy in a suspicious hat that may or may not be a Xenoform type in the last few names. No man, look at real life, the farther south you go, the weirder things get...makes complete sense to me...

You're a De Valtos?! I'm surrounded.... damn it... My only allies are the Steel Song Clan... and Clan Javat.... and house of Thulun...and Syndicate Rychart doesn't really have an opinion of me, we tend to watch each other closely, to see if the other will betray them... and Cadar is allied with De Valtos, so, they're my enemy... huh, now that I think about it, only De Valtos and Cadar hate me!
When did this go from a topic of independent Military officers to De Valtos?

I see... aha! I just realized the truth is revealed! The De Valtos merchant there shows that they really ARE aliens... I knew it... well, yet another reason to destroy all their ships.

Got it, my most embarrassing death, as of recently... I died to a De Valtos... because I wouldn't give up during the fight, as I was blockading their world. I hit blockade after the previous battle like an idiot, despite taking some damage, after all, it's just De Valtos, right? Anyway, then I took some heavy damage, alright... ran out of ammo......... My character was not built to board, and as such, was killed...

I was patrolling around the nebula, but I didn't turn up any aliens. Came across a De Valtos merchant, oddly enough... Yet another De Valtos down... still many, many more to go...
