Fiction:Magellanic Sovereignty of Planets





The Magellanic Sovereignty of Planets or MSP is an empire of the combined seperatist remnant factions left over from the DCP Civil War. It formed shortly after the Emperor defeated the warlords and Titanozor betrayed Eclipsos. The Seperatist remnants were spread about, and were getting picked off by the Delpha Coalition of Planets and in order to survive, they fled and united, to form their own secret empire in the Large Magellanic Cloud, an irregular satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. Currently, the DCP is not aware that the MSP exists, but knows the Seperatists are out there somewhere.

New government and changes
"Not everyone in the wretched coalition likes its policies. Usually, when people split, they are hunted like animals for the slaughter, however, our split is on a much larger scale. When we have grown in power, the DCP will know and fear us!  Their people will come our alliance!"

- MSP Admiral.

At first, the MSP was controlled by commanders, admirals and generals, but recently, the Warlord Tricarrion, now ascended as a demon appeared before the seperatists and has assumed control. The MSP is young, new and still a little bit fragile, but this empire is not to be underestimated, as it has the same technology as the DCP, and is even more violent and bloodthirsty. The evil people of the DCP have joined this empire.
 * The Delpha Coalition of Planets's philosophy is to maintain peace through force, the Magellanic Sovereignty of Planets's philosophy is simply conquere and absorb, make alliances when necessary. They have the DCP's expansionist values on steroids.
 * The DCP is mostly an athiest empire, but the MSP in comparison is a theocracy that worships Tricarrion (see below).
 * The MSP holds different political interests and has its own independant economy (while the DCP has recently dissolved money) and is even building its own fleet.

Order of the Shadows
"I have returned! Bow before once more, and our new empire shall be stronger, those who dare oppose me will perish before the eyes of your people!"

- Tricarrion. Tricarrion doesn't just control the MSP, he also worshipped as a god. He used his powers to enforce this policy, and a new religion was set up, the Order of the Shadows. Tricarrion, discovered that if ascended beings were worshipped, they can become even more powerful, enough for him to overthrow Bo Ramik (see the Light and Dark fiction). The Warlord doesn't really care about the MSP, and once he has defeated his ascended rival, he would probably leave or even destroy it.

History
The history of the MSP. YAF - Years After Formation (MSP), ACS - Years after Civ stage (DCP)

Colonisation of the Large Magellanic Cloud 0 YAF/344.5 ACS
Shortly after the Seperatists united, and an alliance with the New Trucinex Imperium, the MSP started to scout for a nearby galaxy or cluster. The Magellanic clouds had been explored a bit before, mostly by probes. The Large Mallellanic cloud is astronomically active, but due to its small size and proximity to the Milky Way, the DCP never colonised it. Its strong X-ray and subspace wave sources also covers up the MSP's subspace transmissions. It also has very few empires, meaning competition is minor. Soon, the MSP was colonising at a fast rate, and began to form its independance with new ships of the fleet. Shortly after, the Warlord Tricarrion forced worship upon them.

War with the Mantisorac Swarm 0.1 YAF/344.5 ACS
However, the MSP did meet resistence, the previously unknown but advanced Mantisorac didn't take kindly to the new invaders. They had mostly a swarm intelligence, but did have sapient castes. Their ships were unusual in being slightly organic, or were hollowed-out astroids. In close combat they prove a deadly menace, towering over the troops. However, the MSP still has the edge to firepower and have destroyed almost half of the Swarm, still, they are proving strong, resistant foes...

Terribly underestimated
There is not many empires in the Large Magellanic Cloud, due to its smaller space, and this allowed the Mantisorac to expand without little competion. The MSP established a military base on a desert planet, they had detected large insectoid creatures on the surface, but believed they were not a threat. They couldn't be more wrong, the insectoids were soon raiding troops and vehicles, so the commander decided to rid the planet of the "bugs" as they became known as. He sent a large army to scourge the infestation, they were only insects? The troops approached one of the hives, and started firing rockets. Soon, the hive collapsed, however, the ground cracked open, and thousands of Mantisorac appeared, swarming the troops. They fired everything they got, but found the creatures were hard to defeat (they battle much like the ants in this video. They were over 6 meters tall with metallic claws and thick armour.  The last surving troops, retreated back to base.  The Commander ordered the planet to be bombed from orbit.    Meanwhile, in space, the MSP detected a strange asteroid that warped into the system.  As the MSP ships commenced saturating the planet with orbital bombardment, the asteroid released hundreds of organic fighters which destroyed the MSP fleet...

The Mantisorac certainly were not mere "bugs", they were in fact, a normadic empire with fairly advanced organic starships. Several more battles occured, however, the MSP adapted quickly, and the war is starting to look bad for the Mantisorac, who had never faced a big foe in a long time. However, they are proving a worthy adversary to the Sovereignty.

Mantisorac siege and the bio-weapon 0.3 YAF/344.6 ACS
This is an adventure by me - Matisorac Siege The MSP discovered some crucial infomation on the Mantisorac. The Soldier, worker and gaurd castes are not sapient, and rely on swarm intelligence, but the queen and higher castes are the sapient Mantisorac, the ones who build technology and have individuality. Without the higher castes, the hives and asteroid starships would collapse and perish. So, the MSP created several military colonies inside Mantisorac space. In secret, as only known to the commanders, the MSP was developing a biological weapon on E.4992 that only effects the higher castes (the MSP beamed out a hive queen, however, infomation spreads quickly in a hive mind and now they shield the inner cavities of the hives whever an MSP ship is detected). The Mantisorac attacked the outpost of E.4992, and the MSP lost a lot of ground forces, in one battle, only 4 survived the battle, 3 commanders and 1 young marine, however, after a chase across the desert, only 3 returned. Eventually, it was revealed to the troops that a bio-weapon was being created. In space, an asteroid hive was captured, and soon the weapon will be tested (part 2)... Meanwhile, a new battlecruiser has been developed.

Arkos, who was pivotal in protecting the outposts in the sieges of E.4992 was soon called for assistance once more, it was his job to deliver the bioweapon to the Asteroid hive, which had been captured and held by tractor beams. Its interior was scanned, and the directions were put into his holographic visual display. Before he was beamed aboard the asteroid hive he was sprayed with pheromones, so the guards could not make the distinction between him and the workers! Next, he was beamed aboard near the bioweapon. He picked it up, but several guards approached and tasted him with their feelers, but they could not tell the difference between him and the workers. Arkos pressed on, pleased that the Mantisorac could not tell the difference. He located the central cavity, where the queen and intelligent castes were. But he dared not enter, the higher castes would be intelligent enough to noctice him. He pulled out a grenade, then chucked it at a guard, and killed it, this distracted the higher castes. Arkos then set the bioweapon a timer. It would kill the queen and higher castes slowly, but would spread the disease to other asteroids hives! He left the area hastily, but then heard the shouts of prisoners, he followed the sounds until he found himself in another cavity, and to his horror, full of prisoners and half eaten troops! It was a food storage cavity! The prisoners were stuck in a web-like substance as sticky as industrial glue! Arkos melted it with a low disruptor setting, too low to harm the troops body armour. But then the guards noticed him, and they swarmed at the troops, but they were skilled and defeated the guards. They ran to the nearest Claw craft, an organic ship. One of the troopers was telepathic and could pilot the ship and Arkos and the prisoners fled. Soon the disease started to spread and do its job...

Soon, battles were taking a different turn, the Mantisorac would attack, but then the higher castes would die away, and the lower castes were left "stranded" with no directions they were easily picked off. However, this would not be the end, the Mantisorac abandoned most of their hives on the surface of planets and the asteroid hives went more spread out to avoid the spread of the disease. The Mantisorac now hit and run the MSP and are still far from being truly defeated! Meanwhile, Arkos and Captain Glondaff were getting more fame as heroes of the MSP...

Skirmish with the DCP 0.3 YAF/344.6 ACS
To test the new shadow fighters, the MSP sent a couple of their ships to raid a small DCP station. The station was soon destroyed, and the MSP returned victorious. They know now, their ships were a match, and the DCP didn't even know it was the seperatists, because the ships have a subspace cloak which makes them untrackable. The DCP blamed it on the Cognatus. The MPS has started making alliances as well, such as the Iron Bloc and Vartekian Empire, but the Zazane refused, they didn't like Tricarion...

Light and Dark
Coming soon!

Shadow Fighter
This ship has only just been enrolled. It is a fast ship, and in fleets can prove very deadly. It is an easy match for most normal Grox ships and the DCP's Foron Raider (which is much less advanced), but is not quite a match for the DCP's Ion battlecruiser. The distinctive difference with this ship, is that it leaves absolutely no shadow in subspace, making it almost undetectable and hard to track down after its raid.
 * Task:A bomber, fleet escort and raider.
 * Size:80 meters long.
 * Weapons/defense:3 particle cannons, 2 heavy plasma cannons, 2 railguns, 2 antimatter warhead launchers (30 each), deflector shields, cloak, subspace cloak.
 * Tools:Scan, teleporter.
 * Significant events:First raid on the DCP, attacks on the Mantisorac.

Sovereign War Cruiser
The Sovereign War Cruiser is a match for the DCP's Blade Class battlecruiser, and its built from a combination of the Blade and DCP Dreadnought. It could easily take on 3 DCP Ion Battlecruisers in one go. However, the ship is still not as poweful as the DCP's most powerful and advanced ships, such as the DCP Star Destroyer, Dreadnought and Vengeance classes. But still, it has a formidible range of weapons and powerful anti-matter reactors. It was first built to combat the Mantisorac hive fleet, but will probably defend the MSP from the DCP sometime in the future.
 * Task:Defense and attack, to take on the Mantisorac and engage other enemies.
 * Size:817 meters in length.
 * Weapons/defenses:15 disruptors, 10 heavy qaud plasma cannons, anti-matter missiles, quantum resonance charges, deflector shields, subspace cloak.
 * Tools:Typical, scan, teleporter.
 * Significant Events:None yet.

To be continued.
