The starcraft //LSDF Val'ta// is a highly experimental exploration and colonisation ship under the command of the [[/lorath_matriarchy]]. It is crewed primarily by [[species/lorath]] alongside [[guide/species#humanoid|other humanoids]], and lead by the enterprising [[character/milana_porrim|Captain Mil'ana Porrim]]. ===== Overview ===== Upon arriving in the the world, the LSDF's crew's first task was to get the ship under control from their exodus. Many of the ships systems failed, and the crew had to work together to bring the vessel to heel and get a feel for their new environment. Once the ship was under control, dry docked, and its crew assessed and triaged, the captain Porrim is eager to see where the universe will take them, and the future of the Lorath... ===== Organisation ===== The LSDF Val'ta is commanded by the [[/lorath_matriarchy]], and its given mission is to explore the world around them, starting with a system brought along by the Lorath, and then moving on to exploring the rest of the world, making contact with locals, and finding other suitable locations for Lorath expansion or colonisation. The general approach to dealing with locals is to be polite, and to have a plan to glass them if they become hostile or subversive. ===== People ===== The following player characters are aboard the LSDF Val'ta. ^Face^Name^Played By^Role^Notes^ ^ - |**[[character/milana_porrim|Captain Mil'ana Porrim Lmanel]]**|[[user:luca]]|Captain, Ground Team Leader|Thicker than a bowl of oatmeal.| ^ - |**[[character/erred_nnyust]]**|[[user:jimmy]]|Ensign, Medical/Science Officer|Beleaguered.| ^ - |**Aiesu Kalopsia**|[[user:osaka]]|Engineering Consultant, Shipwright|Sceptical, and bigger than last time.| ^ - |**[[character/ashlinn_freyja_sarn]]**|[[user:ashlinn]]|Enlisted Personnel, Soldier|Optimistic, Possibly short a few cards of a full deck.| To add new characters, use the template below. ^ {{Face.png}} |**Name**|[[user:|Played By]]|Role|Notes| ==== Non-Player Characters ==== The following Non-Player characters are aboard the LSDF Val'ta. ^Face^Name^Role^Race^Appearance and Personality^Notes^ ^ - |**Cascade**, **Harper**, **Bronski**, and **Jenkins**|Soldiers|Humans, Maidenhands and Greasehearts|A group of soldiers who compose the Val'ta's human wing of the ground squad.\\ Cascade is a female Maidenhand and jack of all trades, Harper is a male Greaseheart tech expert, Bronski is a male Maidenhand with a towering physique, and Jenkins is a radio operating, magic discovering male Greaseheart.|They live and work under the guidance/leadership of Ashlinn Sarn, and are informally called the Hellraisers.| ^ - |**Michael Furze**|Mechanic, Shipwright|Human, Greaseheart|Crazy haired, dirty blonde in overalls and steeltoes with a manic grin, fiery highlights, and two enormous metal arms bristling with a manner of power tools great and small - for any job.

Currently orbiting E-11 IV (See below). * Experimental Lorath Starship, only one of its kind at the moment. * **[[territories/echo_11_system|E-11]]** - A star system brought along by the Lorath in the exodus. It has two terrestrial planets ideal for colonisation, and will serve as a 'test ground' for the Val'ta's first mission, as it is a mostly-known quantity free from external interference, and unknown to the rest of the galaxy at large. ===== Timeline of Activities ===== ^Name/Thread^Persons Involved^Summary^Outcomes^ | [[calendar/pa_269|PA 269]] |||| |[[https://forum.wanderingstar.online/|Upon a Floating World]]|Porrim, Er'red, Aiesu, Michael, Crew|Shortly after exodus, the LSDF Val'ta undergoes repairs. Porrim, Aiesu, and Er'red discuss the possibilities of the new universe and outline the Val'ta's "test run" once the ship is repaired. The crew carried aboard the Val'ta were triaged shortly after arrival, with some not surviving the trip while others found themselves strangers in their own bodies; On top of being in an entirely new existence.|The Val'ta was able to be repaired, fixing itself using its Sourcian-derived technology basis with the aid of returning shipwright Michael Furze. Ashlinn Sarn also pledged her service to the Val'ta as contractors - with some caveats.\\ When the green flags were lit for the Val'ta, Porrim was perfectly enthused to continue the Val'ta's mission of exploration in a strange, new universe. The Val'ta's first assignment was to inspect [[territories/echo_11_system]] - a known quantity to the Lorath, but the extent of its [[physics/detranslation]] effects currently unknown.| |[[https://forum.wanderingstar.online/threads/lsdf-valta-i-become-and-how.855/|I Become and How]]|Porrim, Er'red, Ashlinn, REAPERs,|With the Val'ta's course underway, there was some travel between Lor Prime. The capabilities of the newly christened Val'ta were catalogued and documented as the crew found their positions again, and got acquainted with each other. Upon arrival to E-11, Porrim sent out a call for a Ground Team to investigate something on E-11 IV, fourth planet in the system and the most like Lor. She ended up tapping Ashlinn, a handful of her REAPERs, Er'red, and some Lorath personnel for the first ground team, and they set out to explore an anomalous crystal formation close to an ideal colony spot.|Some interesting discoveries were made regarding the crystal formation's properties, its effect on the flora and fauna, and nobody on the ground team was hurt. However, Ashlinn and Er'red ended up butting heads/trading barbs throughout the mission, and it came to a head during the debrief. Porrim declared both Ashlinn and Er'red were to be punished in her quarters, personally((And then she had her way with them, to show them who was boss. She's //that// kind of enterprising Captain.)).| |[[https://forum.wanderingstar.online/threads/lsdf-valta-produce-the-movement.909/|Produce the Movement]]|Porrim, Bel'meir, Ashlinn, Er'red, Michael|Picking up twelve hours after the events of //I Become and How//, Porrim is called to the bridge for something urgent, leaving Ashlinn and Er'red to their next assignments as Porrim's cadre of servants attended to getting them out of the hangover Porrim inflicted on them both. Ash had previously set plans in motion to start manufacturing the first non-Lorath pattern spacecraft within the Val'ta's hangars with Michael (who'd been working in the background while Ash was indisposed), while Er'red was [[https://forum.wanderingstar.online/threads/lsdf-valta-produce-the-movement.909/#post-2485|given a stern lecture]] by the Captain in his quarters. Porrim meanwhile has been weighing whether the living nature of the ship could turn on itself, or the crew, and aims to seek a solution with the Executive Officer and ARIA where all parties came away with all limbs and functionality intact - all while preparing the incoming colony ship for information front-loading on E-11 IV.|//Currently Underway...//| |[[https://forum.wanderingstar.online/|Name]]|Persons|Summary|Outcomes| ====== OOC ====== nyoom~ plot/lsdf_valta.txt Last modified: 2019/09/12 07:57by luca
