Because 1. They were not consider a major threat at that time. 2. Most of the Starfleet (besides the 10% in the Deep Core) was chasing down the main rebel fleet and other minor cells etc. If the Empire wanted Mon Cal taken down, it would be taken down. It shows that Mon Cal is not a large enough threat because it is puny campared to just the KDY shipyards in Kuat alone. All ture, but that doesn't change the fact that G canon shows that if the Empire had consider Mon Cal a large enough threat at that time they could easily had mustered the forces without it being noticed or having any impact elsewhere. The small town isn't something I'm agruing really, I just found it to be interesting on this point and thought I would bring it up. Fine, I'll drop this point. I just found it an interesting counter and throught I bring it up was all. Yes, and that was the point I bring up that hundreds of thousands or even millions of credits means nothing to the Empire in the long run. And how does it not show a large budget? It clear does show a large buget since they could easily build 25,000 of them in 20 years and also build the first Death Star without it being found out for sometime. *Face to plam* That is what you call hyperbole. Or are you really, I mean really, going to claim that a galactic Empire is going to be torn apart because of how expensive it was to develop a single class of ship when they could build a moon size battlestation in secret? IT.IS.HYPERBOLE. Yep, those SSDs and Death Stars that going by clear hyperbole should have torn the Empire apart. On fighters, hell the things were built cheap just because the Starfleet didn't want to cut back on building ISDs if I recall correctly. We know that money is no problem for the Empire. Why? Because they built 60% of a 900 km moon size battlestation in 6 months and no one knew about it. And their going to think this are enemy spies before an attack why? The Empire can simple say that it is so they can begin trading so as to cover it up as being the scouting mission for an invasion. After all, if the Empire controls everything that goes through the wormhole (I'm assuming that right now) no one in the AQ would have reason to believe the Empire is really this huge galaxy wide enity that is planning to crush them like a bug. The probe droids are easy to mass produce and cheap as hell compared to the large Imperial ships. They can afford to spam millions or even billions if they want. I'll soon learn why? There was nothing wrong with those numbers, and just because I mentioned them doesn't mean anything on me reflecting him. I'll get the quotes later any ways. Should have them tomorrow. Yes, and? How about you prove that the GR that hasn't fought a galactic scale war in a 1000 years at least should bother know about space beyond the routes? The only area they would be familiar with would be the areas around the lanes and teh systems they have explored. And a new galaxy they've never been to? Deep Core. Poorly explored. Thousands of probe droids were able to find several routes through the super dense 10,000 LY Deep Core. That is impressive considering the number of droids used vs. how shitty you seem to want Hyperdrive look. Hell, the longer it takes for them to map out the better really since they can just build a fleet for just this invasion. Yeah, and all it takes is a single probe droid or, say a scout ship founding the right route to a planet. Yep, super cheap. *Points at massive moon size stations again* Once the Empire has lanes established Star Destroyers can just jump in above the planet without warning and simply unleash a massive volley of TL fire. Its called a surprise attack in this case, as long as the Empire plays its cards right it can hide key information from the AQ powers until its too late. IT would also help to explain how the Executor’s were taken down so fast above Endor. Explain how it is a pretty shitty argument. The Deep Core is far more dense and dangerous then Federation space. The fact that so few probes got those several natural lanes is impressive just because of the sheer size of the place they had to go through and how dangerous it was to ships in hyperspace. The Empire can easily spam as many probe droids for this task as it wants. And since when have the droids have to stop to scan teh surface of the planet? They are just going to be jumping from one system to the next until they hit a mass shadow. It doesn't matter. Even if we assume it takes years for them to do this, that only gives the Empire more time to ready a massive invasion fleet for this task.

It doesn't say they couldn't spare the ships, just that they were busy elsewhere. And oh, lets not forget that by the time of the Battle of Endor you have what, six Mon Cal cruisers built? Yeah, that is surely huge threat to an Empire with tens of thousands of ships just as powerful or more powerful. Also: Hey! Battle of Endor over here Mith! Look at how the rebels found out about the trap when all those systems turned to their side after the tiny fraction of the Imperial fleet was called in...Oh, never mind they were able to without letting the rebels know gather a fleet that could crush the shipyards at Mon Cal. And posting something someone else used is wrong as long as they are acknowledge as the poster...how? If I quote a someone I acknowledge that it was not my post or work. And notice he mentioned right after the nearly 4 GT part that he said different sized towns give different yields. The fact is it is a vague statment from RoTS that can give low to mid to high MT and low GT yields. The fact they consider even using a torp when Phasers would have done the job is damning enough. I mean if they want the shields down they could have had Data pop out the airlock and kick it a couple times, as Aratech said. *Points at 160 km and 900km balls-O-doom, then points at 25,000 ISDs that costed around 3 billion credits each* Yeah, credits does not seem to be a problem there. And why are they doing it? So they know where to strike at, or are you suggesting they be complete idiots and just jump around in Hyperspace until they hit something? Quantify standard Federation planetary defenses. And do you know how they are going to get that basic outline of Fed space Mith? Probe Droid Spam. And how are they going to piss off the rest of the AQ with a few thousand probe droids? Or are they all insane and attack anything on sight now because they don't know what it is? And? It only takes a few months for the Empire to have the maps they need because of the probe droids. Fine, I'll get you the numbers you've seen before at least a trillion dozen times. Oh, and what is wrong with mentioning this just because Leo said it? Proof of inaccuracy in mapping out Hyperlanes and what that has to do with hitting the citites with TL. In the end all that matters is they spam enough of those super cheap droids to know everything they need to know about the area, then have an ISD or any old ship pop in for several seconds and fire a few hundred shots at the target. Quote or link please. You want to claim it will take forever (note that I am exaggerating 'forever') for the Empire to scout out the Federation because the GR would have taken a couple weeks to map out new lanes...and say it will take longer in the AQ. Lets look at the fact (OH MY GOD, I'M ABOUT TO MENTION SOMETHING LEO USED! ITS THE END OF THE WORLD!) that with thouands of probe droids they mapped out several lanes through the 10,000 LY super dense star clusters of the Deep Core that is a poorly explored region. Federation space is nothing like the galactic core with plenty of room between stars, making it far easier to map out. I put an upper limit of one year before the Empire has all the info it needs through spaming probe droids to attack...and how nice that means 1,000+ new ISDs to attack with. And so what? I'm bring it up as a counter. Oh, and my taking a little thing from SDN my little bro did (OH MY GOD! CLEARLY I AM SOME SORT OF STRANGE WIERD CREATURE OF PRUE EVIL!)it would take nearly a teraton to vaporize the asteroid...off-topic but wow, you can do about the same thing a Plasma turret on a falling apart Covenant ship powered by the weaker also falling apart human ship did with one shot to a 3km asteroid in FS. Novice? Ok, what am I doing that's novice? And nope, I'm not Invader. Anyways *Points GDI Ion IGNORE Cannon at Mith and fires*

*Face to plam* Mith, the quote in that debate shot you in the foot because it pretty mush just said the Imperials did not want to take Mon Cal at that time, not that they couldn't. Also *Points at Endor* Yep, I can see all those planets that went over to the rebels tipping them off to the trap because a fraction of the Imperial Starfleet had to be elsewhere. I'm going to quote a person from SciForums (also from FactPile and appears to also be a former SBer). Yep, and that's why those 4. something kilojoule shields on that station were seen as being worth wasting a torp on. Oh, and don't forget on ship numbers that just Kuat along could put out 1,000 ISD size ships a year...and that is just ONE MAJOR SHIPYARD IN JUST ONE SYSTEM ALONE. And even so they can still just Hyperspace in after probes have the lanes set up in a few months, bomb the cities on planets and flee. You can win every battle but still lose the war. Second DS would not have the ventelation shaft problem. Also, prove that the shields would drop 20%. I'm going have to check my copy of The Death Star later, but I believe after that first planet is destroyed by it in the book mountain size rocks moving at fractions of C nit the shields and just bounce off. *Face to plam* Mith, that was because they could get the already charted out routes in only a couple days vs weeks to map out new ones. So, if your forces are cut off from theur supplies and you have the following choices, which one do you go with: 1. Look for new routes to reach forces. This could take weeks or even months depending on terrain will your forces are destroyed and overran due to lack of supplies. 2. There are others farther away, but will allow you to get supplies to your forces in time and it takes less then say 4 days. Why is the Empire attacking itself? Yep, that is why the Ent couldn't blow that 10 kilometer partly hollow rock up with anything less then most of its 250-300 Photon Torps, right? And before you ask, yes, you do know me. Just change one word in my name.

Bah, the old Roman Empire would have easily wiped the floor with the Covenant because they had swords that could shoot 20 Gigatons beams every second and armor that could withstand that for hours. Besides, I love my history, and rebuilding the Roman Empire will be far more fun then blowing stuff up as the Covenant.

The Empire of The Nova Byzantines “Rebirth of the old Roman Empire†Category: Inoffensive Centrist Democracy Civil Rights: Below Average Economy: Thriving Political Freedoms: Excellent Location: The Imperium Regional Influence: Minnow The Empire of The Nova Byzantines is a tiny, economically powerful nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-working, intelligent population of 8 million have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often. The enormous government is mainly concerned with Social Welfare, although Commerce and Healthcare are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 27%. A robust private sector is led by the Cheese Exports, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing industries. The automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, meat-eating is frowned upon, the government is seen to favor Catholics, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low. The Nova Byzantines's national animal is the great south bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the deari.

May I suggest we burn the stupid emitting from Jason from orbit with lots and lots of fire?

Sorry there, I meant 12.75 billion Gigawatts. Yet another reason for me to remember not to post late at night.

Does the site have a translator or something? Because this Jason makes very little sense. Since I don't really now what he is even saying I'll just comment on the high-end firepower for this event: If we go with Date's clear incorrect 12.75 Gigawatts per second, that would be 3GT/s, so for 33 seconds the power of the beam at high end would be 99 GT. So as a high end (unless I messed up here) we know a Borg Cube can take at least 99 GT to the shields. Of course given what we know of ST AM 3GT/s is silly and would use up all the fuel on the ship in less then two months.

Their written by a number of authors. The best author is Eric Nylund and he wrote: The Fall of Reach. Good book, but inconsistent on a number of things because it had to be rushed. First Strike, which tells the story of how the Master Chief, Cortana, and Johnson returned to Earth. Ghost of Onyx is really good, tells of the Spartan IIIs, what happen to two of the characters from FS. The Flood was wrote by William C. Dietz - though someone should have told him when you shoot people with super heated plasma there is not gong it be a lot of blood - more of a rehash of Halo: CE but tells about what the rest of the PoAs crew was up too and an Elite with a grudge with the Master Chief. Contact Harvest was good, I’ll have to dig out my copy later though for the author. Then there is The Cole Protocol by Tobias S. Buckell. I enjoyed it, but other Haloites didn’t seem too. For the number of major fleets the Covenant have been able to deploy over the war and the date off the top of my head: 2535: 36 Covenant ships deployed to glass world as UNSC fleet fled. 2543: 300 Covenant ships destroyed. 2552: 24 ships destroyed. 2552: 750 ships deployed at Reach. Several hundred destroyed. 2552, two weeks after The Fall of Reach: 500+ ships and 30 kilometer mobile station destroyed. 2552, H2: High Charity arrives at Delta Halo with the largest Covenant fleet ever seen. 1065+ ships, possibly up to 5000 based off of the ratio between light and heavy ships in the Covenant’s fleets. 2552: 750+ Elite ships gather around a Covenant colony word during the Covenant-Civil War, most of the fleet was destroyed when the UNSC Nova bomb detonated. That’s all I can think of right now. Though what do you think on the issue with the HW scene here?

Agreed. I'm just looking at HW here, and how when you look at things it makes no sense really for the Covenant Navy to be small or the being strained by just five years of war with humanity and the light losses they have taken. Ah, forgot to mention in addition to the thousand(s) of Forerunner Dreadnoughts already there the prototype Shield World is a shipyard so was also not limited to the ships in storage there.

Very well. So what do you think on this matter Tyralak?

Sorry for the long wait again, I've just been a bit busy again. I know, but we also have the fact that the entire surface terrain of the ring was flattened by the blast, and that it left a five km crater in the "superdense material", meaning that the five km crater is not impossible since this isn't just earth. ...and the point of the propaganda would be what exactly? Because that would't fool anyone that knows a thing about their own tech. It is a double standard in that you laughed at ridiculuos Halo high end yields then turned around and pulled out the more ridiculuos SW high end yields. But it isn't important so lets just drop it. Hm, it is possible, though unlikely, that the portal may have been powering up as the UNSC ships fired and was already draining power. But, since I have no proof, it could go either way. 1. Still the same ones that went after a ship going at 100 million KPH. 2. Still the same round that some how crossed nearly 3,000 kilometers in seconds. Yes, I notice that was mentioned in the thread at SB, but we still have the fact that there was only 90 seconds or so left when the Longsword took off. 1. I don't see the problem with the atmosphere since the fireball was large enough to extend beyond it. 2. Fireball duration is perfectly in line since the atmosphere would have been blow off the ring at that section (plus the AG at that section may had been taken out by the PoA which would help). 3. On the double flash, I'll have to read up more before I can comment on it. Problem is that they opened fire when the Covenant entered the Kill Zone of the Orbial Defense Platforms, which would be just under 100,000 kilometers out given what we see in TFoR going with low end SMAC speed of 0.04C. 1. My point on the portal is it sets a low end for firepower. 2. I'm going with the 25 kilometer diameter we see ingame and what the Halo Enc. gives since I don't trust Halopedia on the 108 kilometer diameter. 3. We know the Covenant would't have caused massive damaged because, A: They didn't use Plasma Torpedos which do explode. B: The fact they thought they were uncovering the Ark and, being an extremely important Forerunner relic they don't want to damage. C: We know that they were not even using ship to ship weapons because of ODST which mention that those beams are for digging, not combat. Hm, if I recall that thread correctly the only scaling issue was with the Dreadnought and Covenant ships. I find it depends on how you look at it really. Though, what do you think of the acceleration the FUD showed at the end of H 3 since you didn't comment on that? 1. We only saw the very start of the bombardment. Also, we have the trailer for Halo:Reach which has fireballs as I recall being calced at 50 GT. Depending on what that game gives it could give Halo at least mid-double digit GT. 2. Agree, still possible the portal my have done something to the ships though given the acceleration the FUD showed later. 3. Glassing of Africa was done by the same non-combat beams mentioned in ODST and the Elites didn't want to damaged the nearby portal or the planet since the Humans were now allies. 4. We only saw the very start of the uncovering of the portal so we can't base it completely off that and the fact they may have been doing that to avoid any damaged to the portal if they didn't know the exact depth it was at. Well, at least it is something I can blame on Slipspace for real once. I'm only joking on this last part of my post. On Halo high end, I just find right know that there are just a few too many showings of the higher end stuff to completely throw it out. But, when the errors in the Halo Enc. are recton and if the .4C bit is among that I'll just take what it gives. At SB I'm the ProphetofWisdom.

I do, I just found this one quicker to use is all when I'm too lazy to use the SDN one. The tens of thousands of ships was just a joke, you can see Halopedia for where I got it though. Ah, so what we see at the end of Halo:CE never happened? So, the Halo just decided to self-destruct at that moment for the MC so he could kill the Flood and an entire Covenant fleet? *Shrugs and blames Slipspace and ONI* Edit: Forgot to add this before: We also have the fact that new overrides old in the event of a contradiction in Halo canon. So the Halo Enc. being the latest source overrides all the older sources in the books. 1. My point was that you pulled a double standard there was all. 2. Ah, you mean that MAC round moving at 30 km/s that took seconds to cross 3,000 or so kilometers? 3. You mean those Archer missiles that could race after a Covenant ship going at 100 million KPH for a short time before being shot down? 4. Let me see: End of Halo:CE PoA going off and Longsword doing 15,000-20,000 kilometers in 90 seconds. Halo 2, beyond visual range firing from UNSC ships as Covenant fleet entered the kill zone, which shoots down the 30 km/s MAC showing since the lowest SMAC showing would have it at 0.04C. Halo 3, the uncovering of the Ark Portal, the FUD doing 20,000 plus kilometers in about the same time as the Longsword in Halo:CE. Total High end events in the games: Five. Hm, seems to me the games do support me so far. For showings in the games that don't support me: Halo 3, three UNSC Frigates attacking the Dreadnought just before it opens the portal. End of Halo Wars: SoF can not escape without using a sling shot orbit around a star to gain a boost.But, it should be noted that they are using a Slipspace drive to destroy the mini-star, so the local physics are going to be really wonky. Total low end events that agree with low end showings in the books: Two. That's all I can think of off the top of my head in the games, I'll go over the books later. Halo, Forerunner Battle Group, Slipspace drive, Glassing, High-end 1 Exaton NOVA Bomb, Forerunner Dreadnought.............yawn.

Sorry it took so long to reply, but I've been busy. No harm done, its happen to me too. I understand, because that is one of the reasons I don't trust anything from Halopedia without checking three times. Ah, I had a brain fart there and was thinking about the Covenant, I forgot about the Forerunner bit I mentioned with how busy I've been right now. As I said before though I don't think even the Forerunner would stand a chance really, but that may depend on what the new Forerunner books add. Thank you, I'll check it out after I'm done reading "Sphere" in a few days. I'll put this in my list of things I should read about. Hm, I see. That's ok, I've mis-read plenty of times myself. I understand, I've seen enough of those types of rabid fanboys around when looking at sites. And as I said before its ok, I've mis-read enough times myself.

A. Please explain to me what Halo being a video game has to do with this at all. B. Please point out were I ever claimed that I could take the Culture or 5th Imp since that seems to be what you are saying, because I said “most†in my post there. Also, wouldn’t the 4th Empire be better because it had a million planetoids? C. HAVE FAITH IN MY ABILITY TO LOOK SHIT UP! It worked when I was looking for the ringworld books by Larry Niven...but then those came close to causing my second bookcase ot collapse. 1. So what the frak? What did I do wrong then with the calculator and what the hell is wrong with not being able to do them? Not everyone can do all the calculations themselves and I've done well enough before in Vs. debates. 2. Which you have no proof of. Also: Welcome to the Sci-fi universe know as HALO where ships are made out of super Weberfoam, see the amazing 4000 ton UNSC frigate from TFoR, and the amazing 20,000 ton Covenant battle group of 4 ships, two frigates, a destroyer and a carrier, stated be larger then any known Covenant ship. 3. Pg. 340 of Halo: The Flood. Noted as being fusion based and coming from the PoA. 4. Prove it, because Burden of Proof is on you to show that it was not what the designers wanted. 5. Right. How about explaining why that hurts my position when I have plenty of other canon events to support me (pg. 8 of TFoR, FUD at end of Halo 3 doing 20,000 plus kms in 90 seconds etc.etc)? 6. See four. 7. I admit I don‘t have a complete grasp. 8. See four and six. 9. So your entire argument is "LOL! Don't listen to him because I don't like Halo!"? I mean no offensive, but there is hard sci-fi, and then there's possibly worse then ST, Halo. 10. 5,000 km radius? Put in 120 Teratons,(120,000,000 megatons) in the calculator and you get this for the three types of radius listed: Fireball radius (minimum) 736.9 kilometers Fireball radius (airburst) 900.6 kilometers Fireball radius (ground-contact airburst) 1187.2 kilometers Which all happen to be fall in about the right area for the PoA. Link: Fusion reactors go critical at 0:56. Now I know what your going to say: “The fireball didn’t last long enough!†Solution: When the PoA went off it may have knocked out the AG on that section of the ring and blasted the atmosphere clear. As we all know, a nuclear fireball doesn't last a fraction as long in vacuum as amosphere. Now, what is your problem with Halo? Is it just because of that one idiot you told me about? Or the fact it has some of the worse consistency in sci-fi?

No, I haven't read the books, I've seen enough though lurking around SBC to know only the Forerunner even stand a chance, and a small one at that. Iain Banks for Culture, don't know about the Fifth Imp. The normal Ships MAC yield was posted at SBC as 1.17 Teratons of TNT per shot for a 600 ton round at 40 PSL. SMAC was 8.1 but I found a link for an online calculator that gives a higher yield of 9.98 Teratons of TNT for 3000 ton SMAC round at 50 PSL. Link: http://www.1728.com/energy.htm After adding in about the ten percent that this calculator leaves out I get the yields that seem to go with the ones at SBC and *Shudder in pure terror* Halopedia very well. On the PoA. As the Longsword was passing the other side of the ring I calc the section the PoA on to be about 315 kilometers in width up/down relative to the Chief in the Longsword. That puts the fireball of the PoA at about 1,000-12,00 kilometers in diameter. It seems I misremember though were it was in TNT because putting it in at SDN again I got a smaller fireball so upped it to 120,000,000 megatons and the fireball size was about right. And that only left 5 kilometer crater in the ring (ref. Halo: The Flood). And now a nice little link to a thread at SBC talking about Halo ship firepower: http://forums.spacebattles.com/showthread.php?p=4512191#post4512191 pg. 3, post 60 has some good calcs on acceleration. Also look at the posts by SBer Nameless on pg. 4 of the thread because of the good points made there. Everything I need to prove Halo firepower, even if is lower then Teratons in some cases, is right there in that thread. On the acceleration you can look at the thread at SBC I linked to that has the calcs which make my point that Halo fusion is nothing like real world fusion. And above you will note calcs for UNSC MAC guns and the PoA going off. Oh, wow, just because I’m a Haloite and support high Gigaton to low Teratons of TNT for firepower I’m a moron. Wow, so you just dump us all in one area in which we all equal idiots, huh? Oh, and you left out how those Covenant ships had heavy battle damage from combat with Onyx Drones and a goddamn UNSC ship blowing up in THE MIDDLE OF THE GODDAMN COVENANT FLEET! And next we have a double standard you pulled there: You laugh at the .4C quote and and an inconsistent low firepower then turn around and cite the 800 Teratons with a straight face. So, now for some quotes from SW books besides ICS since you want to pull a double standard: Kilo-joules - not mega- or giga-joules come out of fighter laser cannons. This appears to say 100 capitol class laser cannon produce only terajoules energy - as in less than 100. See, two can play at this game. Now I rise your 800 Teratons with a low end NOVA Bomb calc found at SBC and Halopedia: Halopedia on NOVA Bomb yield: And if I remember correctly the NOVA Bomb is about the size of an SUV and has nine fusion warheads. That sort of shoots down any idea of the lower yields, because if the UNSC could create this and Covenant ships could be taken out by MT level warheads then why didn't they just use the resources needed to create one NOVA Bomb to spam a Covenant fleet with dozens of nukes? Now: *Throws Xeeleeverse at 5th Imp and Culture* [END TRANSMISSION] -Truth

Pg. 316 of the Halo Encyclopedia. Ship MAC round at 40 PSL = 1.17 Teratons of TNT. SMAC round at 50 PSL = 9.98 Teratons of TNT. For more proof you have Halo:CE where we see the PoA go off, and using the SDN Nuke Calculator, it comes out to the mid-double digit TT area. I also have the isance acceleration rates from the books and games that need far more then should be possible with fusion. For the books: TFoR: a frigate is stated by the Cpation to be able to do 80 million KPH. First Strike: Frigate with a Covenant ships straped on does 10,000 kms in 18 seconds from a stand still. The Games: End of Halo:CE: Longsword is 15,000-20,000 thousand kms away from the PoA when it blows. This took about a minute and a half. End of Halo 3: The FUD does a greater distance in about the same amount of time. What these ships do should be far beyond what fusion should allow, but they somehow manage these feats. I also have pg. 8 of The Fall of Reach in which a Covenant fleet of 36 ships boiled away the oceans and atmosphere of a planet in one hour. *Plasma Torpedos hit with dozens of Teratons of force* [END TRANSMISSION] -Truth

You are now a Covenant target for glassing, *Cue Multi-Teraton Plasma Torpedos being fired at 0.5 C* One guy in a power suit? Oh, so the UNSC marines didn't exist, neither did Cortana who hacked the hell out of everything, and neither did the Flood now, huh? Oh, and the fact that the guy in power armor happened to be so badass that he fought through odds that should be impossible. Since their is no proof of an MC in ST or SW they are both glassed. *Runs away from Fifth Imperium and Culture* I'm not insane, I know right where I stand in Sci-Fi firepower scale with the Covenant. *Sends Forerunner Fleet after Fifth Imperium and has Halo's put in place to wipe out the population of the Culture before moving in to take out the Minds with Slipspace ruptures* [END TRANSMISSION] -Truth

Greetings. I am the Prophet of Truth, you will now bowdown before me or burn under the firepower of tens of thousands of Covenant ships. I look foward to the Vs. debates in which I pwn nearly everyone else with a Covenant fleet. [END TRANSMISSION] -Truth
