Private message to Terra Nova Industries

Greetings I am Prelate Ye'seren of the Church of the Horned Dog, I am here to purchase your assistance. As we are a Iron Republic spanning religious organization we have a tremendous responsibility to the innocents seeking freedom through faith. We try our best but this is a very dangerous universe, so we have found the need for powerful defenses in order to keep doing our holy work. The slaughter of our faithful children on the world of Infernos by the EEF and their bigot Church of One allies showed that we need greater strength to make sure that things like this do not happen again, so we have a rough design for a new Super Capitol class capitol ship. Here is the information for it, we have the idea and have an idea of what we want but do not have the capacity to actually make the design work.

Conflagerator –Super Heavy Starship (future)

The Conflagerator is super heavy cruiser in the Church of the Horned Dog space Navy, seeing how the tended to be large ships which were rather under-armed The Conflagerator is designed to be escorted by Frigates and Destroyers and add that extra punch needed. A bout the same size as an IR Mothership the Conflagerator Super heavy starship is designed to allow the Church of the Horned Dog to be able to protect their own interests without having to bother the local IR garrison for aid.

About the size of an IR Mothership is in the shape of a “U”. The bend makes up the front while the engines are on the points facing backwards. There is a Quall face mounted on the front, the open mouth is actually a pair of Dome Buster Cannons, the Eyes are Chill Life cannons, and the 6 front mounted horns are Incinerate cannons. Other assorted weapons include Missile Launchers, Chill Cannons, Fireball Cannons, and Fire Lancet Cannons.

A heavy starship class Burst Shield shall protect the ship along with a reinforced hull.

AR Obsidian reinforced titanium hull

Holds 200 star fighters

Dome Buster x2

Chill Life Cannons x2

Incinerate Cannons x10

Missile Launchers x200

Chill Cannon x25

Fireball Cannons x30

Fire Lancet Cannons x30

That is what we had in mind, you don't have to worry about the artificing our own adepts can handle that, we just need your help to for the actual ship design as the technoloigial aptitude isn't something that we posess.
As for the construction of the ship we are planning to build a large shipyard on the moon colony of Kraakton. The actual construction will happen there.

Please let us know what you think, any advice you have will be considered and taken seriously.

Prelate Ye'seren,

We at Terra Nova Industries are very excited by your proposed project! Ship design is an area that our board of directors has been investigating as a possible new direction so we have several new systems already in mind. We already have many questions about your proposed design. Is there as special significance to the shape of your proposed ship? Do you plan for it to only be a carrier? How many crew are you planning on having on board? These are just a few of our immediate questions.

While the initial outlay for Terra Nova Industries is not large, once the design is complete and goes into production you will need Terra Nova Industries staff on hand full time to oversee any engineering issues that may arise. It is this process and the prototyping of any new systems that will incur the bulk of our contract price of 1 million ghaz. Yes, this number is incredibly high but Terra Nova Industries has a documented history of delivering on its contracts and producing high quality, effective products. Terra Nova Industries is also open to negotiating its fee for raw materials or manufacturing capabilities.

As usual, Terra Nova Industries will retain all rights to any procedural, design, material, device and/or intellectual properties it creates while pursuing the fulfillment of this contract. If The Church of the Horned Dog wishes to keep any of the aforementioned properties then an additional fee will need to be negotiated. Also, as per Iron Republic law Terra Nova Industries cannot design or sell any weapons of mass destruction to any organization except for the Iron Republic itself.

Terra Nova Industries hopes that the above is agreeable to you Prelate as we are very eager to begin designing your ship.

Holy frejoles!
Clemente Samuels,
TNI - A Better World Through Better Technology

As for the shape, that is negotiable, our artists liked the shape when they drew it, but if your engineers believe there is a more efficient shape let us know
As for the purpose of the ship, it will be for defense of our Mobile Colony and for the defense of future Mobile Colonies and colonies under our guidance. It shall have a duel role of carrier and heavy weapons ship. We want it to be able to defend against a small fleet of smaller ships single handed....not that it will be deployed alone, it will always have small escort force to make sure it is more effective.
As for the crew around 20-30 bridge crew, and a 1,500 personnel crewing the ship.
Several thousand soldiers will defend the ship protecting it from boarding parties

the 1 million ghaz price is acceptable, and your staff will have offices at the shipyard. They can work there and help our own people build the ship. We can import different type of metals and raw materials from our donors and benefactors so that shouldn't be much of a problem

We will even grant you a small section of the ship yard for your own personal construction use. While it will not be large enough to construct ships of the design we are negotiating over you should be able to construct light to medium class ships.

As for what you keep, we would prefer you not construct these vessels for yourself, at least not in the same shape. If you want to use this weapon configuration in a ship of a similar class, we ask that you change the shape so it is not confused for this vessel.
Like i mentioned earlier you may keep a section of the ship yard for yourself and keep a permanent presence here, though they will have to pay local taxes (which aren't very high) and obey local laws like everyone else on this planet.

This ship is not a weapon of mass destruction, there are no nuclear warheads, no nanoplague, or planet busting weapons. We believe that this ship does not count as a weapon of mass destruction. We are an Iron Republic sanctioned organization so we also count as part of the Iron Republic if that means anything.

Would it be possible to put a few more technological weapons onto this ship? Your organization is very famous for its abilities so we would be open to any upgrades that your people may have in mind.

Prelate Ye'seren,

Terra Nova Industries already has ideas for new weaponry and internal ships systems including our newest weapons system. Does your religion have a holy symbol or a universally recognized sign? Building your ship to match this symbol or have the symbol integrated into its hull will not only be a morale booster for your people but will discourage those who would attack you.

Once at least half of the agreed upon fee has been received Terra Nova Industries will dispatch an advance team to start setting up its' offices on Kraakton and interfacing with the managers of your shipyard.


Namaste,
Clemente Samuels

Our holy Symbol is a Quadruped skull with 6 horns, usually a dog skull. If you can design a ship around that it would be rather inspiring.

The payment is being transferred to you at once, 500,000 ghaz, the other half will be provided in precious jewels and stones and will be delivered to you by freighter.
Half the Ghaz being transfered to you is in the form of Gift Certificates which were assigned by the IRLC which they will redeem.

Prelate,

The payment has been received and an advance squad of Terran Nova Industries specialists are en route to setup our offices and to insure that your systems and ours are compatible.

Clemente Samuels,
TNI

Prelate Ye'seren,

Terra Nova Industries as per the ruling of Director Kal Marx is ending all of it's business dealings in Iron Republic controlled space. Effective immediately all Terra Nova Industries personnel are required to cease all work, pack up all proprietary Terra Nova Industries technology and catch the first ride they can into EEF space. What does this mean for TNI's contract with the Church of the Horned Dog? Only that TNI cannot have staff on site to help direct the building of your new ship. Terra Nova Industries has been granted space on Sanctuary (one planet over from Refuge) by Field Marshall Strykker and is currently finishing the building of it's (Sanctuary's) first colony and the activation of a new Forge. Designing your ship is still TNI's highest priority, we will just have to supervise from afar. Prelate, if you install the attached code it will install a high security video conferencing suite which should allow our people to directly interact as your ship is being built.

Joanni Monroke
TNI Sales

Very well, it shall be done at once. We look forward to continuing our work together. Setting up with the EEF now? Well that is nice, while we have had a rocky past with them, Field Marshall Strykker seems to desire friendlier relations which we appreciate.

*encrypted*

Prelate,

It has come to the attention of TNI that an organization you may or may not be associated with is attempting to prove a point to an individual who is a common enemy of our two organizations. If this is true TNI would like to offer assistance in this endeavor. Please respond as soon as possible so that we might coordinate if not work directly together.

Many thanks,
TNI Director T

I am not exactly sure what you mean, however if there is a mutual foe that is vulnerable and you believe that you can strike against them then I would encourage it. I am sure if we were a part of this we would welcome your assistance not that we are of course. After all learning is a never ending pursuit and if someone we know can be taught a lesson, then we should all do our best to help educate them.

*encrypted*

Prelate,

I'm not going to mince words with you. While TNI originally held IRLC status it's owner and original staff are from Refuge. So please know that we are very aware of the Church of the Horned Dog's origins and ultimate patrons. While TNI has no problems working with your church directly, if we were to work with your patron things might not go so well for us in the EEF. I am offering you a chance to test some advanced technology, some very old technology and the support of dedicated professionals who know how to use said technology to it's fullest extent. However, I do not enjoy being jerked around. If you can't see your way clear to being straight forward with me then TNI will just bide it's time until another opportunity presents itself.

TNI Director T

The Prelate paused for a moment, this was a bit more "straight-forward" then he was used to. He took a moment to gather his thoughts sat back in his chair and began.

"I see, I did not mean to give offense to you. You must understand, while I have many responsibilities I am not privy to all information. I do know that agents were sent to send a message to some of our enemies. Not to kill them but to let them be aware that crimes committed against us or our masters will not be tolerated. The one you were referring to I believe was Su Maehl the one who has wronged both you and my Queen.
I will take you at your word Mr T, we would be glad to test out this weaponry. We shall cooperate with you if you are willing to cooperate with us.

*encrypted*

TNI Wetwork Teams and Technicians are trained to seamlessly integrate into larger groups. How else would you want us to cooperate?

In a way I am sure you will enjoy, assist our agents in making sure that Su Maehl learns his lesson. Your team can extract along side our agents, they will be made aware that you are coming to assist if you choose to. They will help get your team out when the deed is done, and they can get your people back to your own facilities safely.
I do hope you are receptive in this matter.

Oh before i forget, Sector General Stark provided your company with one of Garmen Fe's frost generators to develop a counter for it. I believe you did in fact do this. Could I possibly acquire the fruits of this research?

*encrypted*

Prelate,

If TNI had worked on such a project with Sector General Stark then it would take a direct order from Sector General Stark or another Sector General for TNI to release that information to you. As per our other line of conversation, I would very much like to provide you with 2 samples of our Non-Newtonian Radiological Absorptive Foam for testing before you decide if you want TNI to build Gauss canons as a delivery system. Since my people can't enter IR space and since your people can't recieve tech like this in the EEF where can we meet up so my technicians can show you how to use the 'Foam?

TNI Director T

I have a small farming colony on Nanabozho in SWARM space. You may bring the samples there.

Prelate Ye'seren,

My name is Joanni Monroke and I am contacting you at the behest of TNI Director T. As you are no doubt aware Director T and the Horned Dog representatives he was meeting with were attacked. Your people are dead, TNI's shuttle destroyed and Director T in a life and death cat and mouse game with 5 Sanguine Lords. Attached to this communication is an encrypted algorithm that will give you access to TNI's communications center.

Director T is in contact with us and has establish and video uplink so that we can see what is happening on the ground. The 5 Sanguine Lords claim to be in service to a Kasanthian named Ryuk and are demanding that Director T surrender and undergo direct questioning by Su Maehl or they will kill him and take his body to Layne Yr for resurrection and torture. Director T sees a third option. Will the Quall respond to this attack in their home dimension?

Urgently yours,
Joanni Monroke
TNI Sales

Ms Monroke,

It is quite unfortunate what has happened, indeed it is quite insulting that the Kasanthians believe they have the right to do whatever they want where ever they want. A sizable force of Quall N'Drone have been dispatched to keep an eye on the Sanguine Lords, we have also sent in a freighter with an investigation team that should be arriving shortly to speak to Director T and the Sanguine Lords currently hounding him. We do not believe that your boss is guilty of the crimes he is accused of so if the Kasanthians are honorable then they will learn the truth and then depart. However we both know that the Kasnathians are not honorable so this may descend into violence. I do have a question, Director T is an immutable right? Our agents say so but I do want confirmation, if the Sanguine lords do grab him, it would take a tremendous amount of fire power (joke unintentional) to bring them down. Would he survive a direct leyas fire attack if it came down to that?

Prelate Ye'seren

Prelate Ye'seren,

Thank you for your quick reply as the Director believes that his insistence of innocence is irritating the Sanguine Lords. We have been instructed to tell you that the 'foam you've been given will in all likeliness be used for the first time in the field on that island. Director T is indeed an immutable and would likely not survive such an attack, but as he has made his exceptionally low opinion of Su Maehl and being tortured clear to us we believe that he would prefer death before being taken. We also suggest that anyone who sets foot on that island have a finger or toe in storage someplace safe.

TNI would also like to make you aware that we have notified Field Marshall Strykker of the Director's predicament and are about to notify his other acquaintances as well. We will shortly be setting up a communications hub so all involved parties can coordinate their efforts.

The staff at TNI thanks you and your patron most deeply for your help in this matter.

Ms. Joanni Monroke
TNI Sales

Greetings, I hope things are going well. I have a research request. You were so helpful in helping up create the last ship we asked about we have another request. This is for a non Horned Dog specific ship, this is for a carrier vessel designed to transport fighters into combat. Here are the current specifications.

Keeper class Carrier – The Keeper class Carrier is as big as a heavy cruiser but only carries a six duel rapid fire light laser cannons. The rest of the space consists of a pair of giant hangers each able to carry 30 fighter craft (60 total). The Keeper is designed to shadow jump into a system and rapidly deploy its fighters. It will stay in the rear of the battle as its armor is closer to a medium cruiser in strength.

We hope you can be of service to us again. As for the cost, we can pay you in valuable metals like gold, silver, or platinum.
