Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

Relief. That was the primary emotion flowing through my veins at the moment. Sheer and utter relief.
And a degree of satisfaction as well, if I was being honest.
For years, Jir Mola had been a distant terror. A silent obstacle that guided my choices from the start. And for...
So, the slips of the MARD are 2km by 1km, iirc. as for the Harrower expy, its not going to be the Harrower itself, as though they got schematics. its just going to be a ship that looks a lot like a Harrower but is called something else. I was thinking some sort of mix between a Gladiator and...
Yeah over on space battles there was one guy who kept asking for the Harrower class any time ship discussion came up so I said if he could write an argumentative essay on why the Harrower should be included then I'd find a way to include it. and he did just that. so here we are.
So, one thing I do is during Interludes I'll include the POV of throwaway street level characters to show the events of the wider empire, or the effects of what Las is doing. This is one of them.

Lieutenant Mud Vord
Ixum System, Myto Sector
Mud Vord was a simple man. He'd made Lieutenant by following orders and keeping his head down. He was Lieutenant of Cargo Station 12 in the Zereth System, and it was a job that suited him. Because nothing ever happened...

Zyx Mola
Minda System
The city of Accordia had grown significantly since the last time Zyx had visited. She could spot the newer districts easily, prefab homes making obvious patterns. It would've seemed the start of a slum district, if not for the construction sites building new...
yeah its not that everyone makes the same vow. or that all people make the vow at all. but the more religious priestly classes do make the vows, with different families often having generational ones that all members take. so you still have a military and functioning society, but the priest...

Junsrhe Galtil
Junsrhe sipped on the drink in his hand and grimaced. It was a bitter thing, nothing compared to the sweet wines of his homeland.
“What, Gal, you don’t like it? This is the best swill around town!” laughed a companion, a...

I wanted to be happy to return to Ugea. For all that it had been the site of so much stress, it had grown on me.
It helped that the capital actually looked nice instead of being a monolith to corruption. There's only so many buildings you can gild until it becomes a pain in the...

I watched as repulsorlifts worth of server racks and computers were carted out of the capital building on Dubrillion.
The building itself was an immense, ostentatious thing, built in the classic brutalist style of the Empire but adorned with gold and marble and all sorts of...

ISD-II 'Brightest Jewel'
"...and I hereby officially promote you to Moff." said Hiral, a somewhat bored look on his face as he handed over the promotional bars to be pinned to my uniform.
"Thank you, sir. It's an honor." I replied with an appropriate level of enthusiasm...

Today was something resembling a joyous day.
Why? Well, today was the day that the 20th and final berth of the shipyards had been brought online!
With all 20 pumping ships out, the full backlog would be finished within just a few more months. By the start of 2ABY, the full...
