Khas

From what I remember, the machines liquefy the dead to feed the living.... but even THAT explanation just raises further questions.

Dennis shrugged at the mentioning of Maxergy.  

"To be honest, I haven't heard much about them.  Which either means that they're just starting up, or they've got some damn good people covering their tracks."

As usual, Dennis stayed quiet during the discussion of Middle-Eastern politics, preferring merely to listen to what the others said.  That was, until both Lucius and Jake replied to his comment about serving in the French Foreign Legion, at which point he just had to smile.

 

"Thanks." he said to both of them.  "Or rather, merci."

So, while I finish up the weapons list, enjoy this map of the two galaxies for this project!

Inspired by "The Terrible Crossover Fanfiction Idea Generator"!  Alright, for this... project, what you need are: A coin, a twenty-sided die (1d20), a twelve-sided die (1d12), and two percentile die (1d100).  And if you don't have dice like those, just use this handy little thing:

https://www.wizards.com/dnd/dice/dice.htm

Now, where the fun begins!

Step 1: Flip the coin.  If heads, your fanfic will be a two-way crossover.  If tails, it will be a three-way crossover.

 

Next, roll the percentile die.  Each number represents a different series/franchise to use, and here they are:

1 - Star Trek: The Original Series

2 - Star Trek: The Animated Series

3 - Star Trek: The Next Generation

4 - Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

5 - Star Trek: Voyager

6 - Star Trek: Enterprise

7 - Star Trek (2009)

8 - Star Trek Online

9 - Star Trek: Discovery

10 - Star Trek: Other

11 - Star Wars: Original Trilogy

12 - Star Wars: Prequel Trilogy

13 - Star Wars: The Clone Wars

14 - Star Wars: Rebels

15 - Star Wars: Sequel Trilogy

16 - Star Wars: Other

17 - Stargate: SG-1

95 - Gundam (Future Century)

96 - Gundam (Post Disaster)

97 - Calvin and Hobbes

98 - Bloom County

99 - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

100 - Blackadder

 

(Note: For those who might otherwise not know, but still have percentile dice, when you add the sum of the dice up, getting all zeroes equals "100".)

Now, do this again, until you have either two or three franchises.  And if you roll the same number multiple times, just keep re-rolling until you get a different one.

 

Next, Roll 1d12.  This will determine the setting of the fanfic!

1 - Space

2 - The Jungle

3 - Generic Fantasy Land

4 - The Beach

5 - Modern Suburbia

6 - The Forest

7 - The Old West

8 - A Bar/Pub

9 - Prison

10 - High School

11 - A Weird Hotel

12 - A Fast Food Restaurant

 

Now that you have your setting, let's see what thing/event is crucial to the storyline!  Roll 1d20 to determine the result:

1 - A clogged toilet that needs to be unclogged

2 - Getting snowed in

3 - Applying for a job

4 - Suffering a long car ride

5 - A power outtage

6 - A baseball game

7 - Telemarketers

8 - Website-Designing

9 - Forming a rock band

10 - War breaking out for an inane reason

11 - Clones run amok

12 - Babysitting

13 - Making a movie

14 - Flame wars

15 - Wondering what they did last night

16 - A birthday party

17 - Time-travel

18 - A bizarre trial

19 - Joining a counter-terrorist group

20 - A crappy camping trip

 

So, let's see what my test results are, before I let you lot have a go!

Flipped the coin and got: Heads, so a two-way crossover.

Rolled 1d100 first time and got: 96, so that's Gundam (Post-Disaster) (aka "Iron-Blooded Orphans")

Rolled 1d100 second time and got: 13, so that's Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Rolled 1d12 and got: 5, so that's Modern Suburbia

Rolled 1d20 and got: 17, so that's Time-travel.

 

So, the resulting fanfic is a crossover between Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans and Star Wars: The Clone Wars, set in Modern Suburbia, and using time travel as its main plot.

 

Now, it's your turn!

And now, a moment of silence in honor of one of the greatest scientific minds our species has ever seen.

First two explosive weapons - the photon and proton torpedoes (post to be edited later):

EDITED: Quantum torpedoes and concussion missiles have joined the roster.  And now tricobalt warheads, too!

Trek Wars Weapons - Photon Torpedoes.docx

Trek Wars Weapons - Concussion Missiles.docx

Trek Wars Weapons - Tricobalt Warheads.docx

Okay, for this upcoming "Trek Wars" story, here are analyses of the various "beam" weapons used by the different factions (explosive weaponry to come later, followed by more exotic hand-held weapons):

Trek Wars Weapons - Phasers.docx

Trek Wars Weapons - Turbolasers.docx

Trek Wars Weapons - Disruptors.docx

Trek Wars Weapons - Ion Cannons.docx

Trek Wars Weapons - Tetryon Cannons.docx

Trek Wars Weapons - Phased Polaron Cannons.docx

Trek Wars Weapons - Plasma Cannons.docx

Alright, in this battle, two of the stupidest things to EVER grace the "Versus" debate scene must do battle.

 

The first, is something that came from the late "Trek Wars: The Furry Conflict", and is something that Praeothmin, Ikaika, and I have all seen, and all deemed painful to look at.  It is, of course, the rainbow lightsaber.

 

Now, the second, is a space station that, nearly a decade ago, terrorized both Starfleet Jedi and SDN.  I speak, of course, of Youngla0450's infamous "Orange Star".

http://www.starfleetjedi.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1527

 

Now, there will be two battles here.

 

The first, is a straight up "Who would win?" match.

 

The second, is which was the more idiotic.

 

So... who "wins" this match?

TBH, it was inspired by the "TK Badlands" videos, made for members of the Troll Kingdom group "Badlanders" .

Made this vid for everyone on the forum:

 

(I apologize for being so late.  February was a crazy month for me.)

 

Dennis chuckled a bit at Marek's question.

 

"No, I'm not wound up.  Just... kinda grossed out that Henry did that."  he said, returning to his book.  He drowned out the rest of the conversations his squadmates were having until he heard Lucius mention Afghanistan.

 

"Sorry, but you please not mention that country?  I'd rather not relive some real fucked-up memories from when I was there with the French Foreign Legion."

Alright, so I've finally gotten around to setting up the timeline for this universe.

 

Trek Wars Complete Timeline.docx

So apparently, a Yuuzhan Vong scout was originally set to appear in TCW.

http://screencrush.com/star-wars-clone-wars-unused-art-yuuzhan-vong-boba-fett/

 

So.... should the Vong return to canon?

And the occasional "Versus", just in case someone has an idea for a match.

 

 

Also, will the main story be hosted on the forum, or will we expand the site to allow for it, much like how Spacebattles, Starfleet Jedi, and SDN have/had more to their sites than just the forum?

So, instead of "Versus", I take it these will be our focus/foci:

 - A "Main Story", like TFC - just with less fur.

 - Fanfics

 - Roleplaying

 - Art

 - Original Fiction

 - Technical Analyses

 - Shitposting

They'll be shared here too.  

 

As I said, this is a "Main Story" for ASVS, as we revitalize it and celebrate 21 active years (counting the Usenet group).

Alright, now here come the playable races for each faction:

Okay - here are some rules for the users and their characters for the main "story".

1: People can have multiple characters.

2: Characters will be divided by faction - first by franchise, then by alignment - "heroic" or "villainous".

And now, the list of factions from the two franchises:

Star Trek:

 - Heroic:

 -- United Federation of Planets

 -- Klingon Empire

 -- Romulan Republic

 -- Cardassian Union

 -- Ferengi Alliance

 -- Borg Cooperative

 

 - Villainous:

 -- True Way Alliance

 -- Tal Shiar

 

 

Star Wars:

 - Heroic:

 -- New Republic

 -- Resistance

 -- Chiss Ascendancy

 

- Villainous:

 -- First Order

 

 

Both (as in, both Trek AND Wars, and both heroic AND villainous):

 -- Civilian

 -- Pirate

 -- Mercenary

 -- Bounty Hunter

 -- Smuggler

Next Post will have the races for each faction that members can choose from.

So, I've been talking with Tyralak, RayCav, and others, and we've reached one inescapable conclusion: we need to revitalize the board.

 

The "Star Trek vs. Star Wars" debate is mostly a thing of the past now (though other "Versus" matches are welcome), and we need to find a new way to revitalize ASVS - we can't let what was once the largest Usenet group of all whither and die.

 

So.... what was an idea we had?  Simple.  We shift ASVS' focus - from "Versus" to roleplaying, fanfics, art archives, technical analyses.... and a full-fledged story, similar to what TFC - the late "Trek Wars: The Furry Conflict" had.  The story will be a Star Trek/Star Wars crossover (What else could it be?  We still need to remember our origins.), and will involve characters created by the membership - so basically TFC, but with less fur.  More details to be posted later (I will say this though - it'll use the Star Trek Online era for Star Trek - aka the early 25th century, and the Sequel Trilogy era for Star Wars).

 

ASVS will retain its name, as well as its open attitude and loose rules.  Basically, we're going to try and fill a niche that was opened nearly a decade ago, and hasn't really seen anything fill it since.  Will we succeed?  Who knows.  But it should prove to be a worthy challenge, pass or fail.

 

So, any thoughts?

From what I've heard Emmerich isn't involved in this.  I could be wrong, though.

Looks like the Stargate franchise is going to get some new blood, albeit in a way I didn't expect:
