Massive Abwehran Update (Status Report)

For the first time in a while, it seems like I can work on the Abwehrans without too much trouble. I've already gotten several friends of mine to agree to create some artwork for the Abwehrans and other stuff relating to them, so now comes my turn.

I'm currently revamping all my Abwehran information into separate packages of HTML files. Each package, zip file, contains a folder that is for a specific section of the SARP webpage. In essence, I'm moving to try and get Abwehran information more included into the website instead of in a small corner than can only be accessed from the systems page.

The following packages will be sent to the almighty Wes in order:

  • - Updated System Package: Jaspis, Abwehr, Gefahr, Imperial Statistics, Important System Locales.
    - CCG Package
    - Organizations Package: Weapons Manufacturers, Shipbuilders, etc.
    - Uniform/Rank Package: Uniform, Patches, Medals
    - Vehicle/Vessels Package

This will take a bit of time, but hopefully I'll be able to get all of this done by the summer of this year. I'll be sending each package individually to Wes.

In the meantime, I also plan on trying to roleplay my race out a little more. Most will probably solo posts giving the all round status of the Abwehran as a society, but I have a few developing sessions with the help of Leutre.

If anyone else is interested in being a part of the development of the Abwehrans, please PM me or just reply on this thread.
 
Meanwhile at CSEIA, preparations are being made for contact with the Abwehrans...

CSEIA Student: "... And the survey team has reported back from their mission. Planet has significant deposits of elements suitable for starship production. Fairly high population density, but limited starship technologies. And there is neither a Star Army nor SMX presence in the system at the moment."

CSEIA Professor: "Huzzah! Jaspis will be ours for the taking! Now fetch me those mind control beacons and prepare a transport."

CSEIA Student: "Umm, Professor, Administration took away the prototypes. They're still angry about the incident in the prisoner pens last week."

CSEIA Professor: "Well how was I supposed to know that they'd actually interpret 'fuck' as a command?"

CSEIA Student: "Yeah... Well in any case, we don't have any working prototypes on hand. And I think Administration is uneasy about using them openly on account of the political fallout."

CSEIA Professor: "Oh that is so uncool of them. I was really looking forward to subjugating a barbarian species today, too."

CSEIA Student: "..."

CSEIA Professor: "How about superweapons then? We still have those neutron flux warheads, hyperspace shunt bombs, and I think those guys up in genetic engineering were working on a retrovirus that causes the insides of humanoids to swell up and explode. If its ready for field testing, this will be a perfect opportunity..."

CSEIA Student: "Sir..."

CSEIA Professor: "Oh, you're probably right. Between the weapons themselves, planetary surface cleanup costs, and hiring pirate mercenaries to wipe out pockets of resistance, we'd be quite in debt. I guess planetary conquest just isn't in our budget. Such a shame."

CSEIA Student: "Well, sir, we can always send a diplomatic envoy and to work out trade agreements. I believe with our technological leverage we can negotiate for labor and resources for quite a good price. Would you like me to prepare an envoy, sir?"

CSEIA Professor: "Ugh. Fine, I give up! Send a stupid diplomat then. At least they'll buy us time until Administration stops being stuck up wankers and gives us back our mind control beacons. Stupid bureaucrats."

With the Wiki ready, I think I'll just transfer all my territorial, organizational, and biological information there instead of creating HTML files for them. We can just have the systems page link to the wikipedia for updated information.

The CCG, Vehicles/Vessels, and Uniform/Ranks will still be in HTML format for the website.
