Arc 2 Discussion & Rumors

[Vinyl]

I have a plan that would succeed if the Etherreal Nightmare was given a combat refit.

[Crash Override]

Rumour: the NSCD are only researching psychic capabilities such as the ones possessed by subject Zero in order to gain access to the deep core of ARK-1, and the secrets it contains.

Rumor: Darkstar CO. is reasearching a form of mind EMP to disengage any organic combat force. It will be called "M.I.N.D.B.U.R.N" project.

[Chairman_Tiel]

Rumor: The Protectorate has instituted something of a selective draft of all able-bodied Tiens into the military.

Fact: Enlistment rates within the faction have increased tenfold since the purported date of the draft.

Rumor: Non-Tiens within Taln space are treated with disgust and disdain, and the government makes no attempt to stop such activity.

Fact: Tiens occupy the most lucrative jobs, though this could be due to their comprising a superior percentage of the workforce.

Rumor: Even through the Fleet Reconstruction Program, the Protectorate is working on another, potentially lethal, superweapon dwarfing even the Sovereignty class Dreadnoughts.

Fact: Copious amounts of resources and funds have been funneled through various avenues to an as-of-yet unknown project.

Rumor: Taln special ops teams have been deployed in surprising numbers to nations it is on uncertain terms with to disrupt economies and influence politicians.

Fact: Tiens are very reclusive, preferring to remain within their own borders. The prospect of one being an infiltration agent is thus very ridiculous, as they are quite conspicuous abroad.

Rumor: Fleet Marshall Arxin Tiel is married to an Equine.

Fact: The Marshall has been seen in the company of an Equine on multiple occasions.

Rumor: The UGC is an anarchist organization operating under the cover of a peaceful alliance to promote their agenda of galaxy-wide devastation.

Fact: Tensions between the UGC and SDI may very well lead to the next galactic war, thanks in no small part to recent acts of terrorism no nation has yet to claim responsibility for.

Rumor: Darkstar CO. is reasearching a form of mind EMP to disengage any organic combat force. It will be called "M.I.N.D.B.U.R.N" project.

We already did that with Brainshock Omega, but due to unreliability it was never fully used.

[Luna]

Rumor: Cavnin is responsible to all terror bombings in recent times
Fact: Cavnin has denied bombing of the EE building. Cavnin has not denied the bombings in Taln and the explosion of the Ragnarov

[Vinyl]

Rumor: The Empress is immortal.
Rumor: The Empress has age control technologies.
Fact: All my factions have included The Empress one way or another.
Fact: The Empress of my factions has had the same DNA.
Fact: There has been a total of 320 instances of the Empress.
Fact: The next one will be 321st and will be 12 standard years old due to unforeseeable circumstances involving 1.9 million in damages, loss of 2 ships, and ~281 deaths. 1 ship will be Novus, the other [TBA].
Fact: The current clone is age 20. Preferred age is 30.
Fact: Prior to 50th, the clones were given their full possible lifetime. Studies have shown the Empress has an average normal lifespan of 120.
Fact: The 40 cut off was instated to prevent cognitive deterioration due to age.
Fact: Studies have shown the Empress is an alcoholic.
Fact: Studies have shown the Empress is masochistic 1/20 times.
Fact: 36 total deaths of the Empress are suicides, 7 were accidents, 225 were executions, 1 was murder, and 1 will be another accident.
Fact: The Empress retains all memories of her predecessors via a neural network created by the "first" faction non of the following have been able to understand without potential damage to it.

[ACH0225]

Rumor: The Empress has a 'thing' for avians.

[Professor Fenway]

Fact- Through proven technology, Hierarch Fenway is essentially immortal- The aging process has been effectively stopped, due to hyper-regeneration. Unlike normal humans, the body tissue does not degrade over time. As a side benefit, damages to normally irreplaceable organs or tissues can be fully healed.

Rumor- NeoRome has developed a highly expensive and experimental device capable of disrupting Darkstar Stealth Systems momentarily.

Rumor- The planet NeoRome is, as described in the prophecy, the 'Eternal Forge'.

[Ivan2006]

Rumor: Darkstar Co. is actually a government organization of Novum. (Or Novus, whatever...)

[Crash Override]

Rumor: Darkstar Co. is actually a government organization of Novum. (Or Novus, whatever...)

Rumor: You can't see us.


Fact: All your base belong to us.
---------------------
SERIOUS NOW:

Rumor: Darkstar is sometimes referred to as the "Demon of Razgriz" after an ancient legend of a dark angel that comes in times of war and vanishes when everything is at peace.

Fact: Darkstar truly monopolizes certain materials, preventing some technological advances from ever being stolen. The famous DARKSTAR-singularity is one of these, using 4 types of materials that are all under the unquestioned control of Darkstar.

EDIT: Thanks Tiel.

[Professor Fenway]

Rumor: NeoRome collaborates with alternate versions of itself in order to identify potential threats.

Rumor: NeoRome has reverse-engineered Darkstar stealth using Dark Matter and various other compounds, but operating under different principles.

Fact: A fully equipped NeoRoman Battle Fleet would easily defeat a Darkstar fleet of similar size in conventional close-range battles.

Fact: A well equipped Darkstar fleet can cripple a NeoRoman fleet from extremely long distances given an element of surprise.

Rumor: Darkstar uses the gravitational lensing of Dark Matter to amplify the range of all it's weaponry.

[Vinyl]

Rumor: NCONI uses refit civilian vessels to spy on the population of Novus and other nations.
Fact: NCONI uses unarmed outdated military craft fitted with civilian IFF's of the target nation to conduct surveillance and reconnaissance.

[Crash Override]

Rumour: Darkstar CO. is in reality the "Stardust Brotherhood",a order of templars that always controlled the world. More famous as "Illuminati",or "Templars"

[Vinyl]

Fac: All nations have at least 1 NCONI SUR/REC-IES5 or SUR/REC-ICS7 or SUR/REC-U2, omitting Taln and Strigiform.

[Professor Fenway]

Fact: NeoRome watches these NCONI using similar civilian methods, conveniently relocating sensitive targets in order to not appear a threat.

Rumor: NeoRome is planning to collapse the Supermassive Black-Hole, destroying most of the known galaxy, while escaping with Strigiforme into a distant galaxy or another dimension.
