<p>Nomad: /* Aidha */</p> <hr /> <div>{{SRArticle}}<br /> <br /> This article groups basic information concerning famous persons within [[Series Resurrecta]] continuities, and should not be confused with the article referring to [[famous persons|'''canon famous persons'''.]] The article also groups characters mentioned in each campaign's fictions as part of said continuities.<br /> <br /> Due to the multiple factions involved, some of which are unknown, all persons are grouped by species rather than faction.<br /> <br /> =[[Shadows of the Great War]]=<br /> ==[[Gehenna's Gate]]==<br /> ===[[Terran]]===<br /> ====Aia Gordo====<br /> *'''Title and rank:''' Officer &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Faction:''' [[Galactic Terran Alliance]] &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Ship or base:''' [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTD Veritas|GTD ''Veritas'']] (in transfer) &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Fate:''' survives the campaign &lt;br&gt;<br /> Officer serving onboard the GTD ''Veritas'' at her fourth month of pregnancy during the early stages of the campaign. She's interviewed during [[Series Resurrecta - Tales of a Reporter|''Tales of a Reporter'']], and said interview is published on ''The Messenger of Jericho'', thus making the character famous. The interview is perceived as a sign of hope among all Terrans who got cut off from [[Sol]]. &lt;br&gt;<br /> *The character is named after [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_Gordo ''Eddy Gordo''] from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tekken Tekken] series.<br /> ====Arne Finsen====<br /> *'''Title and rank:''' Captain &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Faction:''' [[Galactic Terran Alliance]] &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Ship or base:''' [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTD Veritas|GTD ''Veritas'']] &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Fate:''' survives the campaign &lt;br&gt;<br /> Captain Arne Finsen is the Squadron Leader of the [[Series Resurrecta Squadrons#144th Ghost Dolphins|144th Ghost Dolphins]]. Most details concerning him can be found in [[Series Resurrecta - Tales of a Reporter|''Tales of a Reporter'']]. He was born in Venus and spent most of his life in [[Sol]]: the transfer to the frontline occurred very late in the conflict, right before the collapse of the jump node to [[Delta Serpentis]]. &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> ====Hristian Boinovski====<br /> *'''Title and rank:''' Civilian journalist &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Faction:''' [[Galactic Terran Alliance]] &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Ship or base:''' [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTD Veritas|GTD ''Veritas'']] (visitor) &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Fate:''' survives the campaign &lt;br&gt;<br /> Reporter for ''The Messenger of Jericho'' and protagonist of [[Series Resurrecta - Tales of a Reporter|''Tales of a Reporter'']]. As a civilian reporter, he gets to spend time on the ''Veritas'', interviewing personnel and writing about the current state of the conflict. His articles are submitted to director [[Series Resurrecta Famous Persons#Rebecca Kanyeba|Rebecca Kanyeba]], director of the ''Messenger''. &lt;br&gt;<br /> ====Rebecca Kanyeba====<br /> *'''Title and rank:''' Civilian journalist &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Faction:''' [[Galactic Terran Alliance]] &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Ship or base:''' Jericho (planet) &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Fate:''' survives the campaign &lt;br&gt;<br /> Director of ''The Messenger of Jericho'', is mentioned many times in ''Tales of a Reporter'' as the person reviewing the articles written by [[Series Resurrecta Famous Persons#Hristian Boinovski|Hristian Boinovski]] and giving him advice on what to write next. &lt;br&gt;<br /> ====Sergei Kezhedub====<br /> *'''Title and rank:''' Admiral &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Faction:''' [[Galactic Terran Alliance]] &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Ship or base:''' [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTD Veritas|GTD ''Veritas'']] &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Fate:''' survives the campaign&lt;br&gt;<br /> Admiral Sergei Kezhedub is the Commanding Officer of the GTD ''Veritas'', and leads the ship, as well as her crew, on the final stages of the [[Great War]] against the Shivans. He is determined to bring an end to the war, and addresses the crew of his warship frequently on all major tactical updates. He is also known for hating the [[Hammer of Light]], for reasons which are only in part described. &lt;br&gt;<br /> *The character is named after [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Kozhedub ''Ivan Nikitovich Kozhedub''], an extremely successful Soviet World War II flying ace.<br /> ====Thorsten Favazza====<br /> *'''Title and rank:''' Mechanic &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Faction:''' [[Galactic Terran Alliance]] &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Ship or base:''' [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTD Veritas|GTD ''Veritas'']] &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Fate:''' survives the campaign &lt;br&gt;<br /> Thorsten Favazza is a mechanic serving onboard the ''Veritas'', mostly known for the interview featured in [[Series Resurrecta - Tales of a Reporter|''Tales of a Reporter'']] and consequently published on ''The Messenger of Jericho''. Thorsten is known to be 22 years old at the time of the [[Great War]], and previously served onboard the [[GTC Orff|GTC ''Orff'']], providing substantial support at repairing the ship's engines in [[Betelgeuse]]. He's also known for having spent some time onboard the [[GTD Eisenhower|GTD ''Eisenhowher'']], where his father served; his father was later killed following hull damage by a Vasudan torpedo in [[Vega]]. &lt;br&gt;<br /> *The character is named after [https://acecombat.fandom.com/wiki/Marco_Favazza ''Marco Favazza''], an [https://acecombat.fandom.com/wiki/Ace_Combat_Zero:_The_Belkan_War Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War] fictional pilot.<br /> ===[[Vasudan]]===<br /> ====Intef====<br /> *'''Title and rank:''' Admiral &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Faction:''' [[Parliamentary Vasudan Empire]] &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Ship or base:''' [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#PVD Imhotep|PVD ''Imhotep'']] &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Fate:''' survives the campaign&lt;br&gt;<br /> Admiral Intef is the Commanding Officer of the PVD ''Imhotep'', involved in the last efforts to secure Terran and Vasudan space from the Shivan threat. Although most details are not known, Intef shows the will to support Terran allies despite the fact that this may endanger his own forces. His decisions have proven to be extremely effective in key engagements and didn't result in the Vasudans sustaining major losses, either. &lt;br&gt;<br /> ==[[The Spirit of Ptah]]==<br /> ===[[Terran]]===<br /> ====Andreea Avramescu====<br /> *'''Title and rank:''' not specified &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Faction:''' [[Galactic Terran Alliance]] &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Ship or base:''' [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTD Ixion|GTD ''Ixion'']] &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Fate:''' survives the campaign&lt;br&gt;<br /> Andreea Avramescu is the Squadron Leader of the [[Series Resurrecta Squadrons#223rd Moonbears|223rd Moonbears]]. No major details are given about this leader and, in fact, even her rank among the GTA is not known; it is implied, however, that she's part of a selected number of pilots and officers who've been trained enough on Vasudan culture and tactics to work in close conjunction with them, and even onboard Vasudan warships. &lt;br&gt;<br /> ====Felipe Castaneda====<br /> *'''Title and rank:''' Admiral &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Faction:''' [[Galactic Terran Alliance]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Ship or base:''' [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTD Ixion|GTD ''Ixion'']] &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Fate:''' dies in [[Possente Ftha, Immenso Ftha]] &lt;br&gt;<br /> Admiral Felipe Castaneda is the Commanding Officer of the GTD ''Ixion'' and leads the GTA task force providing support to the [[PVN]] in [[Vasuda]]. Despite his death following the first appearance of the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#HLD Hikuptah|HLD ''Hikuptah'']], he has played a vital role in strenghtening the ties with loyal Vasudan forces, by providing advice on how to interact with the Vasudans, especially those in the PVN who have been subject to stressful experiences following mass defections to the [[Hammer of Light]]. &lt;br&gt;<br /> ====Juma Nyani Masanja====<br /> *'''Title and rank:''' Captain &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Faction:''' [[Galactic Terran Alliance]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Ship or base:''' [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTC Arusha|GTC ''Arusha'']] &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Fate:''' survives the campaign &lt;br&gt;<br /> Captain Juma Nyani Masanja is the Commanding Officer of the GTC ''Arusha'', a cruiser which provided support to [[PVN]] forces in their battle against the [[Hammer of Light]] in [[Alpha Centauri]]. The crew of his ship has participated to a strictly classified engagement that culminated with the destruction of a major [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SD Ifrit|Shivan derelict]]. &lt;br&gt;<br /> ===[[Vasudan]]===<br /> ====Aidha====<br /> *'''Title and rank:''' not specified &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Faction:''' [[Parliamentary Vasudan Empire]] (Intelligence) &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Ship or base:''' [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#PVD Hedetet|PVD ''Hedetet'']] (PVI Quarters) &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Fate:''' survives the campaign &lt;br&gt;<br /> Aidha, which may not be the real name of this character due to the undercover scenario in which she operates, is an agent expert on [[Hammer of Light]] ideologies and ancient Vasudan scrolls that participated in the [[Mask of a Fanatic|secret operation]] that allowed the Alliance to gain vital data on the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#HLD Hikuptah|HLD ''Hikuptah'']], as well as other HoL assets. &lt;br&gt;<br /> *The character is named after [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aida#Roles ''Aida''], from the homonym work by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giuseppe_Verdi Giuseppe Verdi].<br /> <br /> ====Het Ka====<br /> *'''Title and rank:''' the &quot;Great Watcher&quot; &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Faction:''' [[Vasudan]] (historical character) &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Ship or base:''' [[Vasuda]] (planet) &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Fate:''' lived in ancient times &lt;br&gt;<br /> No detailed information on this notable Vasudan historical character is known, except for his probable involvement in the writing of the Fourteenth Prophecy, mentioned in [[Mask of a Fanatic]]. His visionary capabilities were such that the [[Hammer of Light]] links his works, depending on various interpretations, to the advent of the HoL's resurrection in late 2336 sparked by the introduction of the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#HLD Hikuptah|HLD ''Hikuptah'']]. &lt;br&gt;<br /> *The character is named after the [[GVSD Het-Ka|''Het-Ka'' superdestroyer]], the ship that played the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#HLD Hikuptah|HLD ''Hikuptah'']]'s role in the early versions of the campaign. Please note that the hyphen is not used in this character's name.<br /> <br /> ====Khenu====<br /> *'''Title and rank:''' Admiral &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Faction:''' [[Hammer of Light]] &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Ship or base:''' [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#HLD Prophecy|HLD ''Prophecy'']] &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Fate:''' dies between [[Mask of a Fanatic]] and [[More than a Prophecy]] &lt;br&gt;<br /> Admiral Khenu is the Commanding Officer of the HLD ''Prophecy'', and while not that much information is available, he must have been an extremely influential person within the Hammer of Light, almost obsessed with ancient texts and those among the Vasudans who know them into the details. The [[Typhon]] destroyer led by him [[Hammer of Light Rebellion#Notable engagements|nearly disrupted]] the final attempt to stop the [[Lucifer]] on its way to [[Sol]]. His strong beliefs are also testable even after his death, as demonstrated by his will to have a text with the Numbered Destinies prophecy on his body on the funeral coffin. &lt;br&gt;<br /> ====Menkaure====<br /> *'''Title and rank:''' Admiral &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Faction:''' [[Parliamentary Vasudan Empire]] &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Ship or base:''' [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#PVD Hedetet|PVD ''Hedetet'']] &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Fate:''' survives the campaign &lt;br&gt;<br /> Admiral Menkaure is the Commanding Officer of the PVD ''Hedetet'', an asset struggling to bring back order in star systems where the influence of fanatism is strong. He firmly condemns any form of defection or support towards the [[Hammer of Light]], though he also shows great disappointment when such defections occur, and perceives them as a treason towards all Vasudan people. Despite this potential weakness in his behavior, his actions play a pivotal role in stopping key HoL assets, including the flagship [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#HLD Hikuptah|''Hikuptah'']]. &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> ====Nitocris====<br /> *'''Title and rank:''' Commodore &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Faction:''' [[Hammer of Light]] &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Ship or base:''' [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#HLCv Hutyemhat|HLCv ''Hutyemhat'']] &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Fate:''' dies in [[Mask of a Fanatic]] &lt;br&gt;<br /> Commodore Nitocris is the Commanding Officer of the HLCv ''Hutyemhat'', who was deemed to be assassinated until PVI agents managed to find out she was still alive. The discovery ultimately led to unraveling many major security braches within the PVN and even PVI itself. Nitocris oftentimes cites ancient scrolls, though she makes mistakes in the process, and one such mistake allowed PVI agents to confirm the genuinity of her identity. Her true motives remain unknown, but she apparently had access to vital data on HoL research on both Terrans and the Shivans, and was even confirmed to possess a device that allowed some minor interaction between her ship and Shivan units. &lt;br&gt;<br /> ====Rhadames====<br /> *'''Title and rank:''' not specified &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Faction:''' [[Parliamentary Vasudan Empire]] (Intelligence) &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Ship or base:''' [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#PVD Hedetet|PVD ''Hedetet'']] (PVI Quarters) &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Fate:''' survives the campaign &lt;br&gt;<br /> Rhadames, which may not be the real name of this character due to the undercover scenario in which he operates, is an agent that participated as a tactical supervisor to the [[Mask of a Fanatic|secret operation]] that allowed the Alliance to gain vital data on the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#HLD Hikuptah|HLD ''Hikuptah'']], as well as other HoL assets. &lt;br&gt;<br /> *The character is named after [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aida#Roles ''Radames''], from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giuseppe_Verdi Giuseppe Verdi]'s work [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aida ''Aida''].<br /> ====Ramphis====<br /> *'''Title and rank:''' Commander &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Faction:''' [[Parliamentary Vasudan Empire]] (Intelligence) &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Ship or base:''' [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#PVD Hedetet|PVD ''Hedetet'']] (PVI Quarters) &lt;br&gt;<br /> *'''Fate:''' survives the campaign &lt;br&gt;<br /> Commander Ramphis is responsible for planning [[Mask of a Fanatic|the operation]] that led to the gaining of vital data concerning the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#HLD Hikuptah|HLD ''Hikuptah'']] in [[Alpha Centauri]]. No further information is available, though it is implied that his service record must have been excellent. &lt;br&gt;<br /> *The character is named after [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aida#Roles ''Ramfis''], from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giuseppe_Verdi Giuseppe Verdi]'s work [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aida ''Aida''].</div>

<p>Nomad: /* [November 14th, 2352] Memories of a veteran from the 53rd Hammerheads */</p> <hr /> <div>{{SRArticle}}<br /> <br /> ''[[Series Resurrecta]]'' includes a number of fictions, each preceding a mission on all of its campaigns. Many of the fictions are relevant to the SR campaigns themselves, while others try to answer big questions concerning the FreeSpace Universe. SR fictions use special fonts, depending on their nature ''(e.g.,'' transcripts from books use a specific font, while excerpts from an Ancient excavation site report use a different style).<br /> <br /> Current fictions have been written by mission designer '''Mobius,''' and have been proofread by '''lordhood117.''' Composer '''Rich Douglas''' created the ''Stories from a Perturbed Cosmos'' tracks which are played as SR fictions are shown on screen.<br /> <br /> One set of fictions called [[Series_Resurrecta_-_Tales_of_a_Reporter|''Tales of a Reporter'']], feared to be lost forever, has been replaced by new texts during the upgrade process of Gehenna's Gate. Said set was later recovered by chance, and turned into [[species.tbl]] entries.<br /> <br /> Please note that the following content may be '''spoiler''' for Series Resurrecta and, in particular, the [[Shadows of the Great War]] collection.<br /> <br /> ==[[Gehenna's Gate]]==<br /> <br /> ===[July 10th, 2359] Speech to new Modern History graduates at Polaris Public University I===<br /> In a conflict where battlefields are as large as star systems, we must ask ourselves at which point the term 'victory' would have the same meaning as it possessed in the past.<br /> <br /> Moreover, we must determine how that term changes depending on whether it's a war of conquest or a war of defense. To do so would help define the meaning of a military’s claim to 'victory' on a battlefield that spans an entire system.<br /> <br /> The days of the Great War are long gone. At that point, most of you weren't even born yet, and those among you who were would have been infants still learning how to walk and talk.<br /> <br /> People like me ''do'' remember that unique sense of terror. We were coming out of fourteen long years of conventional conflict with another species. The odds of two species encountering each other in space, let alone fighting each other, were so miniscule we couldn't even calculate them.<br /> <br /> Then the Shivans appeared. They redefined the concepts of threat, destruction, invasion and survival. They taught us what these words really meant, and made us realize that what counted as conquering a star system, or winning a war with another species, are both intrinsically dependent on who's the winner. A winner like the Shivans won't just achieve space superiority. It will also wipe all life and civilization from a planet, just as it did with Vasuda Prime.<br /> <br /> The sudden discovery of yet another species, the Ancients, allowed us to prevent Earth's fall to such a fate. <br /> <br /> Earth, a homeworld you have never visited, yet perceive as something important but only remotely tied to your life.<br /> <br /> The past is a key factor in shaping the future. Knowledge of the past will help the GTVA regain and maintain its glory. Some of you may have already heard the term 'The Lost Generation.' It is increasingly used as a way to describe those like you who have never been to Sol. Worry not, for you are not Lost. You will lead the future of humanity, which no longer needs its homeworld to survive and prosper.<br /> <br /> Let the new homeworld, our 'Neo Terra' of sorts, be everywhere you'll be calling home in the days, months, and years to come.<br /> <br /> ===[September 2nd, 2341] Report of Akheton Corporation Delegation to the Imperial Palace===<br /> For the attention of Emperor Khonsu II:<br /> <br /> It is with great honor and pleasure that we introduce the finalized report and digital model of Project Sobek. The tenth annex of this confidential document is focused on the possibility of implementing beam weapon technology in this design.<br /> <br /> As you are already aware, the concept of this design is based on declassified reports of the SCv Moloch, a 'corvette' class of warship encountered in the late stages of the Great War. <br /> <br /> At first erroneously interpreted as a large cruiser, the Moloch was something else. The Moloch is an intermediate class combining the speed and flexibility of cruisers with the firepower and endurance of destroyers. We have designated this new class ‘corvette’.<br /> <br /> It proved to be so versatile that joint teams of Vasudan and Terran engineers analyzed all available reports on the few ships of this class that had been encountered. Subsequently the concept of the corvette class was introduced to strategists.<br /> <br /> Unlike the Shivan design we based our work on, what will likely become the GVC-V Sobek lacks a fighter bay. Our reports and tests proved that the inclusion of a fighter bay would significantly decrease the hull integrity of the warship without adding any tactical capabilities other than hosting a wing of small-to-medium fighters.<br /> <br /> Compared to the Moloch, however, the Sobek’s firepower is considerably greater and the sleek design is expected to make the Sobek more efficient in combat, both in attack and defense. This is a similar result to that of the Terran Deimos, which is also expected to be manufactured very soon. We believe the Sobek will fulfil a number of roles the Deimos may be too logistically complex to perform.<br /> <br /> Both ships will be vital for the future of Vasudan and Terran fleets. In our effort to renew our fleets, the Sobek will be the key to efficiencies in strategies, logistics and combat. Under the right conditions, as tested in the attached war simulations, two ships of this class can compete directly with any known destroyer and come out victorious.<br /> <br /> The final production phase awaits Your approval, Emperor.<br /> <br /> ===[March 5th, 2335] Epitaph in a devastated Ancient settlement in Altair IV===<br /> ''Discovered by Vasudan survivors from the Vasuda Prime massacre.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> &quot;A lone survivor joined us two Glorious Homeworld cycles ago, the only survivor from an entire colony of our people to escape from a devastated system. It was truly a miracle.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It was so unbelievable at first that, for a moment, we thought it was bait, a way for the Destroyers to expose our settlement of survivors and make its location known. It ultimately turned out to be a genuine spacecraft of our race, coming from several beloved star systems distant.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The survivor piloting it was severely wounded, but we managed to provide basic cures. Among the data and archives carried in the approaching emergency spacecraft were testimonies of a prosperity long gone. We also discovered how the Destroyers employed [Trains of Doom] in that system, as well as in the neighbouring systems of our once mighty empire. These massive convoys of ‘Trains of Doom’ were difficult to detect and monitor. Days after their disappearance, they would be followed by large Destroyer armadas, attacking our people from flanks and even from behind, in systems one or two [Subspace] jumps away from the frontlines.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The reports from our people in that colony provided us with significant intelligence. They had learned that in many systems the Destroyers had hidden away fleets capable of staying in stasis for millennia, before their reactivation by a Train of Doom. Once reactivated, the fleets would join their main force and eliminate whatever trace of our once beautiful civilization they detected.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;These same awakened fleets were seen employing a bombing tactic never seen before in the invasion, a weapon of terror that could use subspace to... [indecipherable due to excessive superficial damage.]&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The survivor, messenger of a doomed branch of our fallen Empire, ultimately passed away from a disease we were no longer able to cure with what little we now have. Its treatment would have needed mere minutes in our old, great epochs of prosperity and glory. If anything, the pilot was lucky. Unlike us, he will not have to live through the last few remaining days of existence, eye witnessing our complete extinction not only as a civilization, but as a species.&quot;<br /> <br /> ===[February 18th, 2320] Excerpt from &quot;An introduction to subspace, the great physical wonder&quot;===<br /> Subspace and gravity appear to be connected to each other, albeit in a somewhat complex relationship. Although most of the features of subspace are still a mystery to us, we have observed a strong connection between it and gravitational fields. It doesn't necessarily mean that all of subspace requires the presence of gravity fields to allow travel, as ably demonstrated by interstellar jump nodes, but it shows how, at the very least, the roots of this phenomenon are connected to gravity.<br /> <br /> Since the very beginning of subspace exploitation, it has been noted that the amount of energy necessary for an intrasystem jump is proportional to the intensity of the gravitational field, and its distribution with respect to a given craft's route. For example, jumping towards the center of a star system requires less energy compared to a journey away from said center. The difference in terms of energy required is negligible for modern subspace drives, but it was a major factor in early experiments. It has also been proven that proximity to an interstellar jump node does not act as an auxiliary gravity source. Therefore, jump nodes do not affect the energy required for intrasystem jumps. <br /> <br /> Intersystem jumps follow very different rules. The energy required for such jumps is way beyond the capabilities of small spacecraft, and poses a challenge for even the largest ships. However, it is not proportional to the distance between two stable jump nodes. This leads one to assume, as described in greater detail in later chapters of this publication, that while intrasystem jumps are vastly affected by gravity, intersystem jumps are not. Instead, intersystem jumps rely on some kind of subspace ‘flow’, which, once entered, allows ships to pass through it with little effort beyond the energy expended from entering subspace. Gravity seems to play no role in this flow, as the gravitational field of connected star systems is negligible at best during travel.<br /> There's no influence from external gravity sources, either, because the subspace flow passes through interstellar space, whose density is low. Further in the publication, hypotheses and experiments showing the existence of a subspace flow will be shown...<br /> <br /> ===[April 13th, 2365] Excerpt from the book 'Tales of a Wounded Great War Pilot'===<br /> <br /> <br /> The Top-Brass maintained secrecy over the Iksura freighters and their huge cargo capacity for quite a while. The reason? Morale. It was bad enough they had to admit that the Shivans had us beat when it came to numbers, shields, weapons, hyperspace mastery and what not. Can you imagine how much worse it would have been if they had to admit that they trounced us in logistics, comms, sensors and Electronic Warfare too? That’s my hypothesis anyway. Could there be something else behind it as well? Who knows?<br /> <br /> One thing I can tell you for sure: facing them in combat was as frightening as facing a destroyer or similar warship. You're out there, in the void of space, pretending you are shooting at a sitting duck, except this sitting duck and its cargo are shooting back at you, and they are better armed, armored, and protected than one of our Fenris-class cruisers. Think about that, let it sink in, then add one important factor to the equation: a jamming field whose strength and range would prevent any sensor lock from being gained. No missile that required a lock could be launched against these... Doomtrains. None at all.<br /> <br /> It gets worse. That jamming field also scrambles your sensors, so your situational awareness turns to crud. It screws with your coms too, so you are cut off from your allies, their messages, their calls for help and so on. This cuts both ways of course, so you can’t call out to them for help either, and if your secondary banks run dry you can forget about calling in a support ship to rearm. This isolation was a powerful psychological weapon, at times more frightening than their turrets. <br /> <br /> We suspected the Doomtrains had a weakness however, and when we were finally able to put it to the test, we were proved right. Destroy any of the components in the train and it would trigger a chain reaction, destroying the components next to it. Kill the freighter itself and all ten of the SAC 4’s it was towing would go up in flames right along with it. Classic domino effect, beautiful. We were not sure why this would happen, but we guessed it was a self-destruct mechanism designed to prevent their tech from being captured by an enemy.<br /> <br /> The brass figured that only the most vital supplies and components would be carried by Iksuras. I know the brass were salivating over the chance to scan one of those things. Trust me, we tried, but against that jamming it simply wasn’t happening. Capturing one and opening it up for a look-see was off the table too due to the self-destruct mechanism. Whatever those things were carrying, the Shivans really didn’t want us getting our hands on it.<br /> <br /> Who would have thought such a strategic headache could stem from a mere freighter? Freighters were supposed to be easy prey - the targets rooks cut their teeth on while us veterans mixed it up with the fighters. Clearly, the Shivans didn’t get that memo, or they weren’t playing by the rules.<br /> <br /> Now think on this - what if the Iksuras were responsible for maintaining entire Shivan fleets with their mysterious cargo? That would make them second only to the Lucifer in terms of strategic importance. That's the lesson we learned at Ross 128.<br /> <br /> ===[August 5th, 2337] Classified transcript from the interrogation of a Hammer of Light fanatic===<br /> ''&quot;To what degree were you involved in the final efforts of the Alliance in countering the Shivans in Ross 128?&quot;''<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;I was deployed by my guru to investigate Shivan activity in the system.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> ''<br /> ''&quot;How was this activity carried out?&quot;''''<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;I was the pilot of a retrofitted Seshat scout fighter. I had enough supplies in my spacecraft to perform a reconnaissance mission lasting an entire month. I then staged my loss in a reconnaissance operation, self-destructed my craft, and provided my guru with the information he needed. One of our comrades picked me up and organized my transfer back to safe systems.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> ''&quot;What kind of information have you been able to provide, and by what means?&quot;''<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;We learned that the Destroyers, as per our prophecies, were not defeated. There was something else besides the Lucifer controlling them. It was replacing the Lucifer's lost command and control function. It then would have conquered Vasudan and Terran space, succeeding where the Lucifer had failed.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> ''&quot;I see. Continue...&quot;''<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;Those were testing times for our ideals, and our faith. The Hammer of Light seemed doomed, oblivion the only possible outcome. Millennia of prophecies were being disproved, or so thought those who’s faith was wavering. We, the truly faithful, knew better and our discovery proved our sacred prophecies correct. <br /> That truth had to be delivered back to our systems to stop the mass defections and suicides among Hammer of Light loyalists.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> ''&quot;Were you aware of other activities being carried out on the frontline?&quot;''<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;Yes, I know that some of our own loyalists were onboard the PVD Imhotep. Others were spread amongst the members of the battle group. Every single ship had some of our faithful onboard. Some of us managed to slow down joint Vasudan-Terran operations by performing surgical strikes and driving PVE and GTA strategists into chaos. They were ultimately fooled into attributing those failures to new Destroyer designs they hadn't yet encountered. That allowed us to go unnoticed for weeks.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> ''&quot;Describe one such act of sabotage to joint Vasudan-Terran operations.&quot;''<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;It happened days after the destruction of the Lucifer. Some of our loyalists were sent to Delta Serpentis to deal with a Cain cruiser which seemed unusually well guarded for a ship of its class. We believed it was the sign of something greater, and the moment we saw the Shivans using a previously unseen weapon, we realized it was time to become the messengers of a new truth. We haven't stopped ever since.&quot;<br /> <br /> ===[January 24th, 2368] Civilian Media Investigation Report &quot;Questions they won't let us answer about the Shivans&quot;===<br /> ''Aired on most public GTVA channels ''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> If we really want to get to the bottom of the problem, the reason behind all of the big unanswered questions, we have to go back to where everything started.<br /> <br /> If you're guessing what star we're showing you right now, you're guessing right, it's Ross 128. Don't be fooled by the comforting glow coming from a common place red dwarf. The mysteries that lay in this system are far greater than previously thought.<br /> <br /> Some of you watching this episode are Capellan refugees, looking for a new place to call home. You may wonder what lies between the tragedy of your homeworlds' collapse and the source of the Shivan incursions in the Great War. To date, there are no clear - let alone official - explanations on how the Great War actually ended. There's the majestic, glorious end - that of the Lucifer - but there was an actual end to the war, the last encounter between a Shivan and a Terran or Vasudan ship.<br /> <br /> Details of this last encounter are unknown. We have no idea how and when it took place, we know it happened in this system, somewhere in the void of space, and it led to the disappearance of the Shivans for over three decades. We still hear from scientists who believe the Shivans used interstellar jump drives capable of traversing unstable jump nodes, thus proving that such drives may be theoretically possible, but how accurate are these hypotheses?<br /> <br /> Furthermore, we believe that hiding the truth from honest GTVA citizens is an insult to the sacrifices made by our loved ones in the past forty-five years of galactic conflict and challenging reconstruction efforts. We may be as resilient as phoenixes rising from the ashes, but at what point do we reject the ignorance of the past, especially when said ignorance is being enforced by somebody? How can we possibly live our lives and even plan to reopen the Sol jump node using Knossos-derived technology, if we're so unsure about what might follow us there?<br /> <br /> Should we even plan to go this far, knowing that, even if it is sealed from the rest of colonized space, Sol is - as far as we know - a safe place? If we reopen the jump node to Sol, would we also be holding the door open for the Shivans as well? Is this a risk we are prepared to take? Do we have the right to imperil the people of Sol? These are the questions we need answering, but will the GTVA allow us to try?<br /> <br /> ===[November 14th, 2352] Memories of a veteran from the 53rd Hammerheads===<br /> ''Written in his personal diary, recovered by the heirs after his death, on September 18th, 2388''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Shortly after our final victory over the Lucifer, I felt relieved about the possibility of never having to face the Shivans ever again. This feeling has changed over the years, turning me into what I am right now. <br /> <br /> I am now obsessed and deeply concerned by something that I believed for the longest time to be but a memory of the past. It now chases me, over and over, even in my dreams. I seem to be the only person around here who spends most of their days thinking about what lies beyond the sealed jump node in Delta Serpentis and beyond.<br /> <br /> The victory over the Shivans came at an unprecedented cost. We destroyed the Lucifer, but in so doing we were severed from the rest of the galaxy, and the rest of humanity was severed from its homeworld. Decades of space colonization were dismantled at a stroke. That was the cost of our victory.<br /> <br /> We have no idea about the evolution of the conflict on the other side of the node. There are many possibilities, all driven by questions I will never be able to answer, as no one will for many years to come. I do wonder, however, if the war for survival on the other side had a similar ending to what happened here, in the form of a second, third or even fourth sealing of a system from the cosmic net of subspace flow.<br /> <br /> Is this the choice the Destroyers have forced us to make? Do we disappear into the oblivion of endless space, with our species going extinct, or do we merely slow down the process by self-isolating? Is isolation the final solution to a galactic conflict with an implacable enemy who’s only aim is your extermination?<br /> <br /> Are the survivors on the other side, providing that they're still alive, in a chasing marathon with destiny, a fight for survival where cutting the branches of a colossal tree is the only way to preserve life?<br /> <br /> ==[[The Spirit of Ptah]]==<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] First excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> One thing that may be more due to common stereotypes than actual proof and evidence of their actions, is their supposed tendency to give individual lives less of a value compared to us. Suicides, kamikaze attempts and possibly brave actions with no consideration of the possible consequences, all seem to be more frequent in Vasudan culture compared to our own tendencies. An equal stereotype from their end sees us as greedy and unable to work together for a common, greater goal, as we are doomed to let our individual interests overcome it.<br /> <br /> The ongoing war with this alien species leads us - if we want to analyze their culture objectively - to view their behaviors in combat separately from what they do in civilian life. From what we understand, Vasudans with roles and responsibilities have enormous psychological pressure, regardless of their skills. They're meritocratic, in the sense that they seem to ignore all internal differences with respect to social rank, thus allowing the most skilled and talented of them to have notable careers in the context of their respective castes, and only the highest of ranks are predominantly driven by inheritance.<br /> <br /> Vasudans with specific roles in politics and the academic world take this pressure very, very seriously. Governors failing to achieve specific pre-set objectives of their political mandates may oftentimes end their careers in dishonored retirement, or even commit suicide. Lecturers and researchers whose works are proven to be weak or wrong under strict checks within their communities may also end their careers so abruptly. All of this happens in our own culture, too, but more rarely, thereby leading to rigid stereotypes on both sides.<br /> <br /> While, from the Vasudans' perspective, all of this may be an interpretation of death as a necessary means to obtain honor and fulfill some particular goal, this can be actually interpreted as their way to adore life and what it offers.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Second excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> A lot has been written and said about the Vasudan language and its countless dialects, with stereotypes indicating such forms of expressions as absurdly complicated, as words may change - even radically so - depending on social rank, the distance to Vasuda Prime, the underlying circumstances of the conversation and myriad other factors.<br /> <br /> This extra complexity, which adds to the overall complexity of the many thousands of dialects spoken by the Vasudans, may seem difficult to understand and justify by trying to relate it to modern Terran languages. It's commonly interpreted, in fact, as yet another sign of ritualism and superstition injected by the Vasudans into virtually any endeavor in their lives, with the language being just one of the many examples supporting this thesis. As most linguists will agree, however, it doesn't differ that much from what our own languages have been based on in the past few millennia. While the overall complexity of these variations wasn't comparable to that of Vasudan languages, we have many notable examples in our own history proving that, unlike what the stereotypes seem to indicate, adding complexity to text and conversations is not a purely Vasudan tendency.<br /> <br /> To be more specific, in Terran history, with only a few exceptions still persisting today, languages and dialects have taken into account contexts that would cause them to be difficult to understand under modern circumstances. One such factor was social rank, with differences depending on who was talking and who said person was talking to. All known examples were constrained by the fact that they were spoken by natives with extremely limited technological capabilities, as they obviously weren't space faring populations, but the fundamentals we extrapolate from archeological findings point to an apparent convergence.<br /> <br /> Who knows with any certainty? Perhaps, had Terran history proceeded differently, we would be speaking with that same extra reverential complexity that the Vasudan language is built upon.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Third excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> Vasuda Prime, the fourth planet of the Vasuda system, is the homeworld of this species at war with us. Unlike we Terrans, who managed to establish colonies on many planets and satellites of Sol, the Vasudans had to face a much greater challenge, as Vasuda Prime is the only major celestial body compatible with exploitable colonization in that system, so they've relied a lot on jump nodes to found new colonies in nearby systems. The discovery of subspace, in fact, was demonstrably much more of a blessing to the Vasudans than it was for us, and this is mostly due to Sol's peculiarities. We don't have the same need to expand our hegemony to other systems. This is one of the reasons why many suspect that the war was doomed to start regardless of the outcome of the two species’ first contacts, though this is still open to debate.<br /> <br /> The planet is a rather tough environment, and many question how the Vasudans evolved and developed in such a scenario. Its landmass is divided into two major supercontinents which underwent a rifting event only a few million years ago, and are still moving apart from each other. The current geodynamic setting of Vasuda is similar, although far from equal, to that seen on Earth between the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras. Much like with Earth over 250 million years ago, the formation of a single supercontinent - Pangaea, in our case - may lead to radical changes in the environments, with the expansion of deserts in the inner regions resulting in planetwide mass extinctions. Vasuda Prime hosted a colossal desert prior to the rifting event, caused by the collision of smaller continents, and even now, as the two major supercontinents are diverging, the surface is still mostly dominated by deserts. The Vasudans are believed to have evolved in coastal regions of the southern supercontinent, whose climate was more temperate, though still challenging. These geodynamical settings and the timing of past continental collisions have allowed Vasuda Prime to host hydrocarbon reserves at least one order of magnitude larger than those on Earth, and the exploitation of such reserves at the right stage of Vasudan history has allowed the technological boost that ultimately led them to become a space-faring species.<br /> <br /> Unlike Terrans, who have developed more on the technology branch than on an evolutionary scale in the past few thousand years, the Vasudans appear to have experienced an anomalous change a few millennia ago, the origin of which is still debated.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Fourth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> The most puzzling and contradictory perception of the Vasudans is the one that sees them as soldiers who would blindly follow any kind of order given by their general. The reality couldn't be any more different than this perception, supported by fragmented and anecdotal evidence.<br /> <br /> Though their respect towards authorities is unquestionable, applying to many endeavors beyond warfare, each Vasudan is asked to be judgmental and follow precise customs and courtesies to let someone with a higher rank know that they disagree about a choice. This occurrence is rare, but whenever it happens, it exposes a new facet of Vasudan culture and a way to interpret the formalities of authority in a more pragmatic manner. There are limited circumstances where any Vasudan could object to an extremely highly ranked member of their military or Parliament, and do so in a way that would seem absurd to us Terrans. Even in the greatest democracies of our past, the interaction between simple citizens or soldiers and their rules has always had some sort of filter, and our modern era is no exception, despite the GTA's status as a stable and solid democracy.<br /> <br /> Where does the difference lie, then? How come a supposed stricter respect of higher authorities also accounts for interactions between Vasudans whose ranks are vastly different? Some interpret this as a legacy of past times, when the lack of technology allowed more direct interactions between Vasudans of different ranks, though strictly regulated by precise rituals. According to a different interpretation, this may be due to one specific and ancient ritual of Vasudan culture, which used to be very common in small villages with one or two leaders. This inherited tradition expects each Vasudan, at least once in a lifetime, to perform a ritual conversation with a person of a much higher rank, and discuss particular subjects which are determined by respective ranks. The date and content of the conversation would then be a solid part of one's achievements, in a way that would resemble a Terran diploma. Ancient Vasudan tombs have been confirmed to have inscriptions related to this ritual.<br /> <br /> The truth may be within a combination of these two interpretations, which both differ quite a lot from what we've experienced in our own history. Imagine one of our ancestors getting the chance to talk to a king or ruler, and imagine the tomb having an inscription about that conversation as if it were a remarkable achievement, something that heirs would talk about for decades.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Fifth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> As a space faring species, could the Vasudans see the light of technological advance being darkened and shrouded by a veil of superstition? It appears that they potentially could. The Vasudans, regardless of their rank, take ancient texts and lessons from the past very seriously. Their concept of the past itself deserves its own explanation, as it constitutes a key to understanding this phenomenon.<br /> <br /> The main point here is that the words we use to describe these sources of knowledge for the Vasudan people diverge quite a bit from their actual meaning, as seen from their perspective. We talk about Vasudan mythology and prophecies, and by using these words, we carry on implications that don't match the real values of these from their perspective. In Earth's history, a mythology was essentially the religion of a defunct civilization, while a prophecy is something tied to supernatural powers, and therefore very weak once analyzed with reason in mind. This is absolutely not what Vasudan 'mythology' and 'prophecies' are about; both of them, while still vague in their words and open to dozens of different interpretations, are tied to reality in a way far greater than most ancient texts and inscriptions in Terran history.<br /> <br /> The paradox is that we've been influenced more by religion and superstition than the Vasudans have been, yet we took separate paths that ultimately led to our situation being reversed. Our own mythologies referred to hypothetical creatures and stories, while Vasudan 'mythologies' combined supernatural elements with primitive science, in an effort to explain natural phenomena and the intrinsic fundamentals of nature. How could this happen, how come we've ended up pretending to be the rational individuals, unlike our superstitious counterparts?<br /> <br /> Once again, it's a subject with multiple hypotheses and no clear explanations or answers can be given. Researchers, however, point to the Vasudans' religious and political stability over millennia as the main reason behind this difference. While incredibly varied on their own, Vasudan cultures share a common root dating back to millennia ago, and this may have allowed tales and scripts to be carried over hundreds of generations with no changes whatsoever to their influence. It's not the case for ancient Terran cultures, which were geographically constrained and have undergone radical changes on the scale of decades, not millennia. It goes without saying that, as the social and religious momentum in their society is maintained, ancient texts acquire more and more importance thanks to their age.<br /> <br /> This view, however, is not shared by many researchers who still see superstition as the source of these Vasudan behaviors.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Sixth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> Regardless of the Galactic Terran Alliance's monitoring of all texts and publications concerning the Vasudans, overwhelming evidence about their Parliament being seriously corrupted is hardly debatable. Such corruption is widespread and affects the lives of the Vasudan people in ways that, if hypothetically applied to the GTA itself, could fit the description of a not-so-benevolent dictatorship.<br /> <br /> Corruption has been confirmed to have characterized the Parliament for a significant portion of its history, though sudden increases have been experienced - based on the information that we have - following the colonization of nearby systems. As reported before in this manuscript, the Vasudans are more dependent on space colonization than we are, and it's no secret that something as critically important as the discovery of subspace would have tremendous implications. Early Vasudan subspace travel was severely regulated and inaccessible to most, and the Parliament worked hard to maintain the economic balances of such a great discovery. Space colonization has increased corruption within the Parliament as a tool to control the flow of resources and the consequent influence of those responsible for the harvesting of said resources. The war made things even worse, as military elites put pressure on a number of political debates for things that seem more strictly related to their attempt to gain more influence than actually make decisions relevant to the war effort. Despite all of these major drawbacks, the Parliament as a political infrastructure performs its job, and we have learned more than once that its corruption isn't always a sign of weakness. The background noise caused by deep conflicts of interest does not prevent this entity from ruling over the Vasudan Empire and responding to actions taken by the GTA.<br /> <br /> If we were to analyze the true potential of this phenomenon, we'd temporarily have to disregard the current political setting of the PVE. The current situation is atypical, as a war with another species undoubtedly makes certain interests fall to the wayside in favor of the struggle for survival, but what would happen in a different scenario? If anything, we estimate that the influence of certain elements within the Parliament may be so high that they could secretly divert resources, workforce and combatants to their own factions, if they wanted to. The institution is structured in a way that would allow a parallel fleet to the PVN to be formed and grown, albeit under specific circumstances.<br /> <br /> [[Category: Series Resurrecta]]</div>

To do so would help define the meaning of a military’s claim to 'victory' on a battlefield that spans an entire system.<br /> <br /> The days of the Great War are long gone. At that point, most of you weren't even born yet, and those among you who were would have been infants still learning how to walk and talk.<br /> <br /> People like me ''do'' remember that unique sense of terror. We were coming out of fourteen long years of conventional conflict with another species. The odds of two species encountering each other in space, let alone fighting each other, were so miniscule we couldn't even calculate them.<br /> <br /> Then the Shivans appeared. They redefined the concepts of threat, destruction, invasion and survival. They taught us what these words really meant, and made us realize that what counted as conquering a star system, or winning a war with another species, are both intrinsically dependent on who's the winner. A winner like the Shivans won't just achieve space superiority. It will also wipe all life and civilization from a planet, just as it did with Vasuda Prime.<br /> <br /> The sudden discovery of yet another species, the Ancients, allowed us to prevent Earth's fall to such a fate. <br /> <br /> Earth, a homeworld you have never visited, yet perceive as something important but only remotely tied to your life.<br /> <br /> The past is a key factor in shaping the future. Knowledge of the past will help the GTVA regain and maintain its glory. Some of you may have already heard the term 'The Lost Generation.' It is increasingly used as a way to describe those like you who have never been to Sol. Worry not, for you are not Lost. You will lead the future of humanity, which no longer needs its homeworld to survive and prosper.<br /> <br /> Let the new homeworld, our 'Neo Terra' of sorts, be everywhere you'll be calling home in the days, months, and years to come.<br /> <br /> ===[September 2nd, 2341] Report of Akheton Corporation Delegation to the Imperial Palace===<br /> For the attention of Emperor Khonsu II:<br /> <br /> It is with great honor and pleasure that we introduce the finalized report and digital model of Project Sobek. The tenth annex of this confidential document is focused on the possibility of implementing beam weapon technology in this design.<br /> <br /> As you are already aware, the concept of this design is based on declassified reports of the SCv Moloch, a 'corvette' class of warship encountered in the late stages of the Great War. <br /> <br /> At first erroneously interpreted as a large cruiser, the Moloch was something else. The Moloch is an intermediate class combining the speed and flexibility of cruisers with the firepower and endurance of destroyers. We have designated this new class ‘corvette’.<br /> <br /> It proved to be so versatile that joint teams of Vasudan and Terran engineers analyzed all available reports on the few ships of this class that had been encountered. Subsequently the concept of the corvette class was introduced to strategists.<br /> <br /> Unlike the Shivan design we based our work on, what will likely become the GVC-V Sobek lacks a fighter bay. Our reports and tests proved that the inclusion of a fighter bay would significantly decrease the hull integrity of the warship without adding any tactical capabilities other than hosting a wing of small-to-medium fighters.<br /> <br /> Compared to the Moloch, however, the Sobek’s firepower is considerably greater and the sleek design is expected to make the Sobek more efficient in combat, both in attack and defense. This is a similar result to that of the Terran Deimos, which is also expected to be manufactured very soon. We believe the Sobek will fulfil a number of roles the Deimos may be too logistically complex to perform.<br /> <br /> Both ships will be vital for the future of Vasudan and Terran fleets. In our effort to renew our fleets, the Sobek will be the key to efficiencies in strategies, logistics and combat. Under the right conditions, as tested in the attached war simulations, two ships of this class can compete directly with any known destroyer and come out victorious.<br /> <br /> The final production phase awaits Your approval, Emperor.<br /> <br /> ===[March 5th, 2335] Epitaph in a devastated Ancient settlement in Altair IV===<br /> ''Discovered by Vasudan survivors from the Vasuda Prime massacre.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> &quot;A lone survivor joined us two Glorious Homeworld cycles ago, the only survivor from an entire colony of our people to escape from a devastated system. It was truly a miracle.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It was so unbelievable at first that, for a moment, we thought it was bait, a way for the Destroyers to expose our settlement of survivors and make its location known. It ultimately turned out to be a genuine spacecraft of our race, coming from several beloved star systems distant.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The survivor piloting it was severely wounded, but we managed to provide basic cures. Among the data and archives carried in the approaching emergency spacecraft were testimonies of a prosperity long gone. We also discovered how the Destroyers employed [Trains of Doom] in that system, as well as in the neighbouring systems of our once mighty empire. These massive convoys of ‘Trains of Doom’ were difficult to detect and monitor. Days after their disappearance, they would be followed by large Destroyer armadas, attacking our people from flanks and even from behind, in systems one or two [Subspace] jumps away from the frontlines.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The reports from our people in that colony provided us with significant intelligence. They had learned that in many systems the Destroyers had hidden away fleets capable of staying in stasis for millennia, before their reactivation by a Train of Doom. Once reactivated, the fleets would join their main force and eliminate whatever trace of our once beautiful civilization they detected.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;These same awakened fleets were seen employing a bombing tactic never seen before in the invasion, a weapon of terror that could use subspace to... [indecipherable due to excessive superficial damage.]&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The survivor, messenger of a doomed branch of our fallen Empire, ultimately passed away from a disease we were no longer able to cure with what little we now have. Its treatment would have needed mere minutes in our old, great epochs of prosperity and glory. If anything, the pilot was lucky. Unlike us, he will not have to live through the last few remaining days of existence, eye witnessing our complete extinction not only as a civilization, but as a species.&quot;<br /> <br /> ===[February 18th, 2320] Excerpt from &quot;An introduction to subspace, the great physical wonder&quot;===<br /> Subspace and gravity appear to be connected to each other, albeit in a somewhat complex relationship. Although most of the features of subspace are still a mystery to us, we have observed a strong connection between it and gravitational fields. It doesn't necessarily mean that all of subspace requires the presence of gravity fields to allow travel, as ably demonstrated by interstellar jump nodes, but it shows how, at the very least, the roots of this phenomenon are connected to gravity.<br /> <br /> Since the very beginning of subspace exploitation, it has been noted that the amount of energy necessary for an intrasystem jump is proportional to the intensity of the gravitational field, and its distribution with respect to a given craft's route. For example, jumping towards the center of a star system requires less energy compared to a journey away from said center. The difference in terms of energy required is negligible for modern subspace drives, but it was a major factor in early experiments. It has also been proven that proximity to an interstellar jump node does not act as an auxiliary gravity source. Therefore, jump nodes do not affect the energy required for intrasystem jumps. <br /> <br /> Intersystem jumps follow very different rules. The energy required for such jumps is way beyond the capabilities of small spacecraft, and poses a challenge for even the largest ships. However, it is not proportional to the distance between two stable jump nodes. This leads one to assume, as described in greater detail in later chapters of this publication, that while intrasystem jumps are vastly affected by gravity, intersystem jumps are not. Instead, intersystem jumps rely on some kind of subspace ‘flow’, which, once entered, allows ships to pass through it with little effort beyond the energy expended from entering subspace. Gravity seems to play no role in this flow, as the gravitational field of connected star systems is negligible at best during travel.<br /> There's no influence from external gravity sources, either, because the subspace flow passes through interstellar space, whose density is low. Further in the publication, hypotheses and experiments showing the existence of a subspace flow will be shown...<br /> <br /> ===[April 13th, 2365] Excerpt from the book 'Tales of a Wounded Great War Pilot'===<br /> <br /> <br /> The Top-Brass maintained secrecy over the Iksura freighters and their huge cargo capacity for quite a while. The reason? Morale. It was bad enough they had to admit that the Shivans had us beat when it came to numbers, shields, weapons, hyperspace mastery and what not. Can you imagine how much worse it would have been if they had to admit that they trounced us in logistics, comms, sensors and Electronic Warfare too? That’s my hypothesis anyway. Could there be something else behind it as well? Who knows?<br /> <br /> One thing I can tell you for sure: facing them in combat was as frightening as facing a destroyer or similar warship. You're out there, in the void of space, pretending you are shooting at a sitting duck, except this sitting duck and its cargo are shooting back at you, and they are better armed, armored, and protected than one of our Fenris-class cruisers. Think about that, let it sink in, then add one important factor to the equation: a jamming field whose strength and range would prevent any sensor lock from being gained. No missile that required a lock could be launched against these... Doomtrains. None at all.<br /> <br /> It gets worse. That jamming field also scrambles your sensors, so your situational awareness turns to crud. It screws with your coms too, so you are cut off from your allies, their messages, their calls for help and so on. This cuts both ways of course, so you can’t call out to them for help either, and if your secondary banks run dry you can forget about calling in a support ship to rearm. This isolation was a powerful psychological weapon, at times more frightening than their turrets. <br /> <br /> We suspected the Doomtrains had a weakness however, and when we were finally able to put it to the test, we were proved right. Destroy any of the components in the train and it would trigger a chain reaction, destroying the components next to it. Kill the freighter itself and all ten of the SAC 4’s it was towing would go up in flames right along with it. Classic domino effect, beautiful. We were not sure why this would happen, but we guessed it was a self-destruct mechanism designed to prevent their tech from being captured by an enemy.<br /> <br /> The brass figured that only the most vital supplies and components would be carried by Iksuras. I know the brass were salivating over the chance to scan one of those things. Trust me, we tried, but against that jamming it simply wasn’t happening. Capturing one and opening it up for a look-see was off the table too due to the self-destruct mechanism. Whatever those things were carrying, the Shivans really didn’t want us getting our hands on it.<br /> <br /> Who would have thought such a strategic headache could stem from a mere freighter? Freighters were supposed to be easy prey - the targets rooks cut their teeth on while us veterans mixed it up with the fighters. Clearly, the Shivans didn’t get that memo, or they weren’t playing by the rules.<br /> <br /> Now think on this - what if the Iksuras were responsible for maintaining entire Shivan fleets with their mysterious cargo? That would make them second only to the Lucifer in terms of strategic importance. That's the lesson we learned at Ross 128.<br /> <br /> ===[August 5th, 2337] Classified transcript from the interrogation of a Hammer of Light fanatic===<br /> ''&quot;To what degree were you involved in the final efforts of the Alliance in countering the Shivans in Ross 128?&quot;''<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;I was deployed by my guru to investigate Shivan activity in the system.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> ''<br /> ''&quot;How was this activity carried out?&quot;''''<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;I was the pilot of a retrofitted Seshat scout fighter. I had enough supplies in my spacecraft to perform a reconnaissance mission lasting an entire month. I then staged my loss in a reconnaissance operation, self-destructed my craft, and provided my guru with the information he needed. One of our comrades picked me up and organized my transfer back to safe systems.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> ''&quot;What kind of information have you been able to provide, and by what means?&quot;''<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;We learned that the Destroyers, as per our prophecies, were not defeated. There was something else besides the Lucifer controlling them. It was replacing the Lucifer's lost command and control function. It then would have conquered Vasudan and Terran space, succeeding where the Lucifer had failed.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> ''&quot;I see. Continue...&quot;''<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;Those were testing times for our ideals, and our faith. The Hammer of Light seemed doomed, oblivion the only possible outcome. Millennia of prophecies were being disproved, or so thought those who’s faith was wavering. We, the truly faithful, knew better and our discovery proved our sacred prophecies correct. <br /> That truth had to be delivered back to our systems to stop the mass defections and suicides among Hammer of Light loyalists.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> ''&quot;Were you aware of other activities being carried out on the frontline?&quot;''<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;Yes, I know that some of our own loyalists were onboard the PVD Imhotep. Others were spread amongst the members of the battle group. Every single ship had some of our faithful onboard. Some of us managed to slow down joint Vasudan-Terran operations by performing surgical strikes and driving PVE and GTA strategists into chaos. They were ultimately fooled into attributing those failures to new Destroyer designs they hadn't yet encountered. That allowed us to go unnoticed for weeks.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> ''&quot;Describe one such act of sabotage to joint Vasudan-Terran operations.&quot;''<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;It happened days after the destruction of the Lucifer. Some of our loyalists were sent to Delta Serpentis to deal with a Cain cruiser which seemed unusually well guarded for a ship of its class. We believed it was the sign of something greater, and the moment we saw the Shivans using a previously unseen weapon, we realized it was time to become the messengers of a new truth. We haven't stopped ever since.&quot;<br /> <br /> ===[January 24th, 2368] Civilian Media Investigation Report &quot;Questions they won't let us answer about the Shivans&quot;===<br /> ''Aired on most public GTVA channels ''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> If we really want to get to the bottom of the problem, the reason behind all of the big unanswered questions, we have to go back to where everything started.<br /> <br /> If you're guessing what star we're showing you right now, you're guessing right, it's Ross 128. Don't be fooled by the comforting glow coming from a common place red dwarf. The mysteries that lay in this system are far greater than previously thought.<br /> <br /> Some of you watching this episode are Capellan refugees, looking for a new place to call home. You may wonder what lies between the tragedy of your homeworlds' collapse and the source of the Shivan incursions in the Great War. To date, there are no clear - let alone official - explanations on how the Great War actually ended. There's the majestic, glorious end - that of the Lucifer - but there was an actual end to the war, the last encounter between a Shivan and a Terran or Vasudan ship.<br /> <br /> Details of this last encounter are unknown. We have no idea how and when it took place, we know it happened in this system, somewhere in the void of space, and it led to the disappearance of the Shivans for over three decades. We still hear from scientists who believe the Shivans used interstellar jump drives capable of traversing unstable jump nodes, thus proving that such drives may be theoretically possible, but how accurate are these hypotheses?<br /> <br /> Furthermore, we believe that hiding the truth from honest GTVA citizens is an insult to the sacrifices made by our loved ones in the past forty-five years of galactic conflict and challenging reconstruction efforts. We may be as resilient as phoenixes rising from the ashes, but at what point do we reject the ignorance of the past, especially when said ignorance is being enforced by somebody? How can we possibly live our lives and even plan to reopen the Sol jump node using Knossos-derived technology, if we're so unsure about what might follow us there?<br /> <br /> Should we even plan to go this far, knowing that, even if it is sealed from the rest of colonized space, Sol is - as far as we know - a safe place? If we reopen the jump node to Sol, would we also be holding the door open for the Shivans as well? Is this a risk we are prepared to take? Do we have the right to imperil the people of Sol? These are the questions we need answering, but will the GTVA allow us to try?<br /> <br /> ===[November 14th, 2352] Memories of a veteran from the 53rd Hammerheads===<br /> ''Written on his personal diary, recovered by the heirs after his death, on September 18th, 2388''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Shortly after our final victory over the Lucifer, I felt relieved about the possibility of never having to face the Shivans ever again. This feeling has changed over the years, turning me into what I am right now. <br /> <br /> I am now obsessed and deeply concerned by something that I believed for the longest time to be but a memory of the past. It now chases me, over and over, even in my dreams. I seem to be the only person around here who spends most of their days thinking about what lies beyond the sealed jump node in Delta Serpentis and beyond.<br /> <br /> The victory over the Shivans came at an unprecedented cost. We destroyed the Lucifer, but in so doing we were severed from the rest of the galaxy, and the rest of humanity was severed from its homeworld. Decades of space colonization were dismantled at a stroke. That was the cost of our victory.<br /> <br /> We have no idea about the evolution of the conflict on the other side of the node. There are many possibilities, all driven by questions I will never be able to answer, as no one will for many years to come. I do wonder, however, if the war for survival on the other side had a similar ending to what happened here, in the form of a second, third or even fourth sealing of a system from the cosmic net of subspace flow.<br /> <br /> Is this the choice the Destroyers have forced us to make? Do we disappear into the oblivion of endless space, with our species going extinct, or do we merely slow down the process by self-isolating? Is isolation the final solution to a galactic conflict with an implacable enemy who’s only aim is your extermination?<br /> <br /> Are the survivors on the other side, providing that they're still alive, in a chasing marathon with destiny, a fight for survival where cutting the branches of a colossal tree is the only way to preserve life?<br /> <br /> ==[[The Spirit of Ptah]]==<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] First excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> One thing that may be more due to common stereotypes than actual proof and evidence of their actions, is their supposed tendency to give individual lives less of a value compared to us. Suicides, kamikaze attempts and possibly brave actions with no consideration of the possible consequences, all seem to be more frequent in Vasudan culture compared to our own tendencies. An equal stereotype from their end sees us as greedy and unable to work together for a common, greater goal, as we are doomed to let our individual interests overcome it.<br /> <br /> The ongoing war with this alien species leads us - if we want to analyze their culture objectively - to view their behaviors in combat separately from what they do in civilian life. From what we understand, Vasudans with roles and responsibilities have enormous psychological pressure, regardless of their skills. They're meritocratic, in the sense that they seem to ignore all internal differences with respect to social rank, thus allowing the most skilled and talented of them to have notable careers in the context of their respective castes, and only the highest of ranks are predominantly driven by inheritance.<br /> <br /> Vasudans with specific roles in politics and the academic world take this pressure very, very seriously. Governors failing to achieve specific pre-set objectives of their political mandates may oftentimes end their careers in dishonored retirement, or even commit suicide. Lecturers and researchers whose works are proven to be weak or wrong under strict checks within their communities may also end their careers so abruptly. All of this happens in our own culture, too, but more rarely, thereby leading to rigid stereotypes on both sides.<br /> <br /> While, from the Vasudans' perspective, all of this may be an interpretation of death as a necessary means to obtain honor and fulfill some particular goal, this can be actually interpreted as their way to adore life and what it offers.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Second excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> A lot has been written and said about the Vasudan language and its countless dialects, with stereotypes indicating such forms of expressions as absurdly complicated, as words may change - even radically so - depending on social rank, the distance to Vasuda Prime, the underlying circumstances of the conversation and myriad other factors.<br /> <br /> This extra complexity, which adds to the overall complexity of the many thousands of dialects spoken by the Vasudans, may seem difficult to understand and justify by trying to relate it to modern Terran languages. It's commonly interpreted, in fact, as yet another sign of ritualism and superstition injected by the Vasudans into virtually any endeavor in their lives, with the language being just one of the many examples supporting this thesis. As most linguists will agree, however, it doesn't differ that much from what our own languages have been based on in the past few millennia. While the overall complexity of these variations wasn't comparable to that of Vasudan languages, we have many notable examples in our own history proving that, unlike what the stereotypes seem to indicate, adding complexity to text and conversations is not a purely Vasudan tendency.<br /> <br /> To be more specific, in Terran history, with only a few exceptions still persisting today, languages and dialects have taken into account contexts that would cause them to be difficult to understand under modern circumstances. One such factor was social rank, with differences depending on who was talking and who said person was talking to. All known examples were constrained by the fact that they were spoken by natives with extremely limited technological capabilities, as they obviously weren't space faring populations, but the fundamentals we extrapolate from archeological findings point to an apparent convergence.<br /> <br /> Who knows with any certainty? Perhaps, had Terran history proceeded differently, we would be speaking with that same extra reverential complexity that the Vasudan language is built upon.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Third excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> Vasuda Prime, the fourth planet of the Vasuda system, is the homeworld of this species at war with us. Unlike we Terrans, who managed to establish colonies on many planets and satellites of Sol, the Vasudans had to face a much greater challenge, as Vasuda Prime is the only major celestial body compatible with exploitable colonization in that system, so they've relied a lot on jump nodes to found new colonies in nearby systems. The discovery of subspace, in fact, was demonstrably much more of a blessing to the Vasudans than it was for us, and this is mostly due to Sol's peculiarities. We don't have the same need to expand our hegemony to other systems. This is one of the reasons why many suspect that the war was doomed to start regardless of the outcome of the two species’ first contacts, though this is still open to debate.<br /> <br /> The planet is a rather tough environment, and many question how the Vasudans evolved and developed in such a scenario. Its landmass is divided into two major supercontinents which underwent a rifting event only a few million years ago, and are still moving apart from each other. The current geodynamic setting of Vasuda is similar, although far from equal, to that seen on Earth between the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras. Much like with Earth over 250 million years ago, the formation of a single supercontinent - Pangaea, in our case - may lead to radical changes in the environments, with the expansion of deserts in the inner regions resulting in planetwide mass extinctions. Vasuda Prime hosted a colossal desert prior to the rifting event, caused by the collision of smaller continents, and even now, as the two major supercontinents are diverging, the surface is still mostly dominated by deserts. The Vasudans are believed to have evolved in coastal regions of the southern supercontinent, whose climate was more temperate, though still challenging. These geodynamical settings and the timing of past continental collisions have allowed Vasuda Prime to host hydrocarbon reserves at least one order of magnitude larger than those on Earth, and the exploitation of such reserves at the right stage of Vasudan history has allowed the technological boost that ultimately led them to become a space-faring species.<br /> <br /> Unlike Terrans, who have developed more on the technology branch than on an evolutionary scale in the past few thousand years, the Vasudans appear to have experienced an anomalous change a few millennia ago, the origin of which is still debated.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Fourth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> The most puzzling and contradictory perception of the Vasudans is the one that sees them as soldiers who would blindly follow any kind of order given by their general. The reality couldn't be any more different than this perception, supported by fragmented and anecdotal evidence.<br /> <br /> Though their respect towards authorities is unquestionable, applying to many endeavors beyond warfare, each Vasudan is asked to be judgmental and follow precise customs and courtesies to let someone with a higher rank know that they disagree about a choice. This occurrence is rare, but whenever it happens, it exposes a new facet of Vasudan culture and a way to interpret the formalities of authority in a more pragmatic manner. There are limited circumstances where any Vasudan could object to an extremely highly ranked member of their military or Parliament, and do so in a way that would seem absurd to us Terrans. Even in the greatest democracies of our past, the interaction between simple citizens or soldiers and their rules has always had some sort of filter, and our modern era is no exception, despite the GTA's status as a stable and solid democracy.<br /> <br /> Where does the difference lie, then? How come a supposed stricter respect of higher authorities also accounts for interactions between Vasudans whose ranks are vastly different? Some interpret this as a legacy of past times, when the lack of technology allowed more direct interactions between Vasudans of different ranks, though strictly regulated by precise rituals. According to a different interpretation, this may be due to one specific and ancient ritual of Vasudan culture, which used to be very common in small villages with one or two leaders. This inherited tradition expects each Vasudan, at least once in a lifetime, to perform a ritual conversation with a person of a much higher rank, and discuss particular subjects which are determined by respective ranks. The date and content of the conversation would then be a solid part of one's achievements, in a way that would resemble a Terran diploma. Ancient Vasudan tombs have been confirmed to have inscriptions related to this ritual.<br /> <br /> The truth may be within a combination of these two interpretations, which both differ quite a lot from what we've experienced in our own history. Imagine one of our ancestors getting the chance to talk to a king or ruler, and imagine the tomb having an inscription about that conversation as if it were a remarkable achievement, something that heirs would talk about for decades.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Fifth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> As a space faring species, could the Vasudans see the light of technological advance being darkened and shrouded by a veil of superstition? It appears that they potentially could. The Vasudans, regardless of their rank, take ancient texts and lessons from the past very seriously. Their concept of the past itself deserves its own explanation, as it constitutes a key to understanding this phenomenon.<br /> <br /> The main point here is that the words we use to describe these sources of knowledge for the Vasudan people diverge quite a bit from their actual meaning, as seen from their perspective. We talk about Vasudan mythology and prophecies, and by using these words, we carry on implications that don't match the real values of these from their perspective. In Earth's history, a mythology was essentially the religion of a defunct civilization, while a prophecy is something tied to supernatural powers, and therefore very weak once analyzed with reason in mind. This is absolutely not what Vasudan 'mythology' and 'prophecies' are about; both of them, while still vague in their words and open to dozens of different interpretations, are tied to reality in a way far greater than most ancient texts and inscriptions in Terran history.<br /> <br /> The paradox is that we've been influenced more by religion and superstition than the Vasudans have been, yet we took separate paths that ultimately led to our situation being reversed. Our own mythologies referred to hypothetical creatures and stories, while Vasudan 'mythologies' combined supernatural elements with primitive science, in an effort to explain natural phenomena and the intrinsic fundamentals of nature. How could this happen, how come we've ended up pretending to be the rational individuals, unlike our superstitious counterparts?<br /> <br /> Once again, it's a subject with multiple hypotheses and no clear explanations or answers can be given. Researchers, however, point to the Vasudans' religious and political stability over millennia as the main reason behind this difference. While incredibly varied on their own, Vasudan cultures share a common root dating back to millennia ago, and this may have allowed tales and scripts to be carried over hundreds of generations with no changes whatsoever to their influence. It's not the case for ancient Terran cultures, which were geographically constrained and have undergone radical changes on the scale of decades, not millennia. It goes without saying that, as the social and religious momentum in their society is maintained, ancient texts acquire more and more importance thanks to their age.<br /> <br /> This view, however, is not shared by many researchers who still see superstition as the source of these Vasudan behaviors.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Sixth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> Regardless of the Galactic Terran Alliance's monitoring of all texts and publications concerning the Vasudans, overwhelming evidence about their Parliament being seriously corrupted is hardly debatable. Such corruption is widespread and affects the lives of the Vasudan people in ways that, if hypothetically applied to the GTA itself, could fit the description of a not-so-benevolent dictatorship.<br /> <br /> Corruption has been confirmed to have characterized the Parliament for a significant portion of its history, though sudden increases have been experienced - based on the information that we have - following the colonization of nearby systems. As reported before in this manuscript, the Vasudans are more dependent on space colonization than we are, and it's no secret that something as critically important as the discovery of subspace would have tremendous implications. Early Vasudan subspace travel was severely regulated and inaccessible to most, and the Parliament worked hard to maintain the economic balances of such a great discovery. Space colonization has increased corruption within the Parliament as a tool to control the flow of resources and the consequent influence of those responsible for the harvesting of said resources. The war made things even worse, as military elites put pressure on a number of political debates for things that seem more strictly related to their attempt to gain more influence than actually make decisions relevant to the war effort. Despite all of these major drawbacks, the Parliament as a political infrastructure performs its job, and we have learned more than once that its corruption isn't always a sign of weakness. The background noise caused by deep conflicts of interest does not prevent this entity from ruling over the Vasudan Empire and responding to actions taken by the GTA.<br /> <br /> If we were to analyze the true potential of this phenomenon, we'd temporarily have to disregard the current political setting of the PVE. The current situation is atypical, as a war with another species undoubtedly makes certain interests fall to the wayside in favor of the struggle for survival, but what would happen in a different scenario? If anything, we estimate that the influence of certain elements within the Parliament may be so high that they could secretly divert resources, workforce and combatants to their own factions, if they wanted to. The institution is structured in a way that would allow a parallel fleet to the PVN to be formed and grown, albeit under specific circumstances.<br /> <br /> [[Category: Series Resurrecta]]</div>

To do so would help define the meaning of a military’s claim to 'victory' on a battlefield that spans an entire system.<br /> <br /> The days of the Great War are long gone. At that point, most of you weren't even born yet, and those among you who were would have been infants still learning how to walk and talk.<br /> <br /> People like me ''do'' remember that unique sense of terror. We were coming out of fourteen long years of conventional conflict with another species. The odds of two species encountering each other in space, let alone fighting each other, were so miniscule we couldn't even calculate them.<br /> <br /> Then the Shivans appeared. They redefined the concepts of threat, destruction, invasion and survival. They taught us what these words really meant, and made us realize that what counted as conquering a star system, or winning a war with another species, are both intrinsically dependent on who's the winner. A winner like the Shivans won't just achieve space superiority. It will also wipe all life and civilization from a planet, just as it did with Vasuda Prime.<br /> <br /> The sudden discovery of yet another species, the Ancients, allowed us to prevent Earth's fall to such a fate. <br /> <br /> Earth, a homeworld you have never visited, yet perceive as something important but only remotely tied to your life.<br /> <br /> The past is a key factor in shaping the future. Knowledge of the past will help the GTVA regain and maintain its glory. Some of you may have already heard the term 'The Lost Generation.' It is increasingly used as a way to describe those like you who have never been to Sol. Worry not, for you are not Lost. You will lead the future of humanity, which no longer needs its homeworld to survive and prosper.<br /> <br /> Let the new homeworld, our 'Neo Terra' of sorts, be everywhere you'll be calling home in the days, months, and years to come.<br /> <br /> ===[September 2nd, 2341] Report of Akheton Corporation Delegation to the Imperial Palace===<br /> For the attention of Emperor Khonsu II:<br /> <br /> It is with great honor and pleasure that we introduce the finalized report and digital model of Project Sobek. The tenth annex of this confidential document is focused on the possibility of implementing beam weapon technology in this design.<br /> <br /> As you are already aware, the concept of this design is based on declassified reports of the SCv Moloch, a 'corvette' class of warship encountered in the late stages of the Great War. <br /> <br /> At first erroneously interpreted as a large cruiser, the Moloch was something else. The Moloch is an intermediate class combining the speed and flexibility of cruisers with the firepower and endurance of destroyers. We have designated this new class ‘corvette’.<br /> <br /> It proved to be so versatile that joint teams of Vasudan and Terran engineers analyzed all available reports on the few ships of this class that had been encountered. Subsequently the concept of the corvette class was introduced to strategists.<br /> <br /> Unlike the Shivan design we based our work on, what will likely become the GVC-V Sobek lacks a fighter bay. Our reports and tests proved that the inclusion of a fighter bay would significantly decrease the hull integrity of the warship without adding any tactical capabilities other than hosting a wing of small-to-medium fighters.<br /> <br /> Compared to the Moloch, however, the Sobek’s firepower is considerably greater and the sleek design is expected to make the Sobek more efficient in combat, both in attack and defense. This is a similar result to that of the Terran Deimos, which is also expected to be manufactured very soon. We believe the Sobek will fulfil a number of roles the Deimos may be too logistically complex to perform.<br /> <br /> Both ships will be vital for the future of Vasudan and Terran fleets. In our effort to renew our fleets, the Sobek will be the key to efficiencies in strategies, logistics and combat. Under the right conditions, as tested in the attached war simulations, two ships of this class can compete directly with any known destroyer and come out victorious.<br /> <br /> The final production phase awaits Your approval, Emperor.<br /> <br /> ===[March 5th, 2335] Epitaph in a devastated Ancient settlement in Altair IV===<br /> ''Discovered by Vasudan survivors from the Vasuda Prime massacre.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> &quot;A lone survivor joined us two Glorious Homeworld cycles ago, the only survivor from an entire colony of our people to escape from a devastated system. It was truly a miracle.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It was so unbelievable at first that, for a moment, we thought it was bait, a way for the Destroyers to expose our settlement of survivors and make its location known. It ultimately turned out to be a genuine spacecraft of our race, coming from several beloved star systems distant.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The survivor piloting it was severely wounded, but we managed to provide basic cures. Among the data and archives carried in the approaching emergency spacecraft were testimonies of a prosperity long gone. We also discovered how the Destroyers employed [Trains of Doom] in that system, as well as in the neighbouring systems of our once mighty empire. These massive convoys of ‘Trains of Doom’ were difficult to detect and monitor. Days after their disappearance, they would be followed by large Destroyer armadas, attacking our people from flanks and even from behind, in systems one or two [Subspace] jumps away from the frontlines.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The reports from our people in that colony provided us with significant intelligence. They had learned that in many systems the Destroyers had hidden away fleets capable of staying in stasis for millennia, before their reactivation by a Train of Doom. Once reactivated, the fleets would join their main force and eliminate whatever trace of our once beautiful civilization they detected.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;These same awakened fleets were seen employing a bombing tactic never seen before in the invasion, a weapon of terror that could use subspace to... [indecipherable due to excessive superficial damage.]&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The survivor, messenger of a doomed branch of our fallen Empire, ultimately passed away from a disease we were no longer able to cure with what little we now have. Its treatment would have needed mere minutes in our old, great epochs of prosperity and glory. If anything, the pilot was lucky. Unlike us, he will not have to live through the last few remaining days of existence, eye witnessing our complete extinction not only as a civilization, but as a species.&quot;<br /> <br /> ===[February 18th, 2320] Excerpt from &quot;An introduction to subspace, the great physical wonder&quot;===<br /> Subspace and gravity appear to be connected to each other, albeit in a somewhat complex relationship. Although most of the features of subspace are still a mystery to us, we have observed a strong connection between it and gravitational fields. It doesn't necessarily mean that all of subspace requires the presence of gravity fields to allow travel, as ably demonstrated by interstellar jump nodes, but it shows how, at the very least, the roots of this phenomenon are connected to gravity.<br /> <br /> Since the very beginning of subspace exploitation, it has been noted that the amount of energy necessary for an intrasystem jump is proportional to the intensity of the gravitational field, and its distribution with respect to a given craft's route. For example, jumping towards the center of a star system requires less energy compared to a journey away from said center. The difference in terms of energy required is negligible for modern subspace drives, but it was a major factor in early experiments. It has also been proven that proximity to an interstellar jump node does not act as an auxiliary gravity source. Therefore, jump nodes do not affect the energy required for intrasystem jumps. <br /> <br /> Intersystem jumps follow very different rules. The energy required for such jumps is way beyond the capabilities of small spacecraft, and poses a challenge for even the largest ships. However, it is not proportional to the distance between two stable jump nodes. This leads one to assume, as described in greater detail in later chapters of this publication, that while intrasystem jumps are vastly affected by gravity, intersystem jumps are not. Instead, intersystem jumps rely on some kind of subspace ‘flow’, which, once entered, allows ships to pass through it with little effort beyond the energy expended from entering subspace. Gravity seems to play no role in this flow, as the gravitational field of connected star systems is negligible at best during travel.<br /> There's no influence from external gravity sources, either, because the subspace flow passes through interstellar space, whose density is low. Further in the publication, hypotheses and experiments showing the existence of a subspace flow will be shown...<br /> <br /> ===[April 13th, 2365] Excerpt from the book 'Tales of a Wounded Great War Pilot'===<br /> <br /> <br /> The Top-Brass maintained secrecy over the Iksura freighters and their huge cargo capacity for quite a while. The reason? Morale. It was bad enough they had to admit that the Shivans had us beat when it came to numbers, shields, weapons, hyperspace mastery and what not. Can you imagine how much worse it would have been if they had to admit that they trounced us in logistics, comms, sensors and Electronic Warfare too? That’s my hypothesis anyway. Could there be something else behind it as well? Who knows?<br /> <br /> One thing I can tell you for sure: facing them in combat was as frightening as facing a destroyer or similar warship. You're out there, in the void of space, pretending you are shooting at a sitting duck, except this sitting duck and its cargo are shooting back at you, and they are better armed, armored, and protected than one of our Fenris-class cruisers. Think about that, let it sink in, then add one important factor to the equation: a jamming field whose strength and range would prevent any sensor lock from being gained. No missile that required a lock could be launched against these... Doomtrains. None at all.<br /> <br /> It gets worse. That jamming field also scrambles your sensors, so your situational awareness turns to crud. It screws with your coms too, so you are cut off from your allies, their messages, their calls for help and so on. This cuts both ways of course, so you can’t call out to them for help either, and if your secondary banks run dry you can forget about calling in a support ship to rearm. This isolation was a powerful psychological weapon, at times more frightening than their turrets. <br /> <br /> We suspected the Doomtrains had a weakness however, and when we were finally able to put it to the test, we were proved right. Destroy any of the components in the train and it would trigger a chain reaction, destroying the components next to it. Kill the freighter itself and all ten of the SAC 4’s it was towing would go up in flames right along with it. Classic domino effect, beautiful. We were not sure why this would happen, but we guessed it was a self-destruct mechanism designed to prevent their tech from being captured by an enemy.<br /> <br /> The brass figured that only the most vital supplies and components would be carried by Iksuras. I know the brass were salivating over the chance to scan one of those things. Trust me, we tried, but against that jamming it simply wasn’t happening. Capturing one and opening it up for a look-see was off the table too due to the self-destruct mechanism. Whatever those things were carrying, the Shivans really didn’t want us getting our hands on it.<br /> <br /> Who would have thought such a strategic headache could stem from a mere freighter? Freighters were supposed to be easy prey - the targets rooks cut their teeth on while us veterans mixed it up with the fighters. Clearly, the Shivans didn’t get that memo, or they weren’t playing by the rules.<br /> <br /> Now think on this - what if the Iksuras were responsible for maintaining entire Shivan fleets with their mysterious cargo? That would make them second only to the Lucifer in terms of strategic importance. That's the lesson we learned at Ross 128.<br /> <br /> ===[August 5th, 2337] Classified transcript from the interrogation of a Hammer of Light fanatic===<br /> ''&quot;To what degree were you involved in the final efforts of the Alliance in countering the Shivans in Ross 128?&quot;''<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;I was deployed by my guru to investigate Shivan activity in the system.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> ''<br /> ''&quot;How was this activity carried out?&quot;''''<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;I was the pilot of a retrofitted Seshat scout fighter. I had enough supplies in my spacecraft to perform a reconnaissance mission lasting an entire month. I then staged my loss in a reconnaissance operation, self-destructed my craft, and provided my guru with the information he needed. One of our comrades picked me up and organized my transfer back to safe systems.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> ''&quot;What kind of information have you been able to provide, and by what means?&quot;''<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;We learned that the Destroyers, as per our prophecies, were not defeated. There was something else besides the Lucifer controlling them. It was replacing the Lucifer's lost command and control function. It then would have conquered Vasudan and Terran space, succeeding where the Lucifer had failed.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> ''&quot;I see. Continue...&quot;''<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;Those were testing times for our ideals, and our faith. The Hammer of Light seemed doomed, oblivion the only possible outcome. Millennia of prophecies were being disproved, or so thought those who’s faith was wavering. We, the truly faithful, knew better and our discovery proved our sacred prophecies correct. <br /> That truth had to be delivered back to our systems to stop the mass defections and suicides among Hammer of Light loyalists.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> ''&quot;Were you aware of other activities being carried out on the frontline?&quot;''<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;Yes, I know that some of our own loyalists were onboard the PVD Imhotep. Others were spread amongst the members of the battle group. Every single ship had some of our faithful onboard. Some of us managed to slow down joint Vasudan-Terran operations by performing surgical strikes and driving PVE and GTA strategists into chaos. They were ultimately fooled into attributing those failures to new Destroyer designs they hadn't yet encountered. That allowed us to go unnoticed for weeks.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> ''&quot;Describe one such act of sabotage to joint Vasudan-Terran operations.&quot;''<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;It happened days after the destruction of the Lucifer. Some of our loyalists were sent to Delta Serpentis to deal with a Cain cruiser which seemed unusually well guarded for a ship of its class. We believed it was the sign of something greater, and the moment we saw the Shivans using a previously unseen weapon, we realized it was time to become the messengers of a new truth. We haven't stopped ever since.&quot;<br /> <br /> ===[January 24th, 2368] Civilian Media Investigation Report &quot;Questions they won't let us answer about the Shivans&quot;===<br /> ''Aired on most public GTVA channels ''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> If we really want to get to the bottom of the problem, the reason behind all of the big unanswered questions, we have to go back to where everything started.<br /> <br /> If you're guessing what star we're showing you right now, you're guessing right, it's Ross 128. Don't be fooled by the comforting glow coming from a common place red dwarf. The mysteries that lay in this system are far greater than previously thought.<br /> <br /> Some of you watching this episode are Capellan refugees, looking for a new place to call home. You may wonder what lies between the tragedy of your homeworlds' collapse and the source of the Shivan incursions in the Great War. To date, there are no clear - let alone official - explanations on how the Great War actually ended. There's the majestic, glorious end - that of the Lucifer - but there was an actual end to the war, the last encounter between a Shivan and a Terran or Vasudan ship.<br /> <br /> Details of this last encounter are unknown. We have no idea how and when it took place, we know it happened in this system, somewhere in the void of space, and it led to the disappearance of the Shivans for over three decades. We still hear from scientists who believe the Shivans used interstellar jump drives capable of traversing unstable jump nodes, thus proving that such drives may be theoretically possible, but how accurate are these hypotheses?<br /> <br /> Furthermore, we believe that hiding the truth from honest GTVA citizens is an insult to the sacrifices made by our loved ones in the past forty-five years of galactic conflict and challenging reconstruction efforts. We may be as resilient as phoenixes rising from the ashes, but at what point do we reject the ignorance of the past, especially when said ignorance is being enforced by somebody? How can we possibly live our lives and even plan to reopen the Sol jump node using Knossos-derived technology, if we're so unsure about what might follow us there?<br /> <br /> Should we even plan to go this far, knowing that, even if it is sealed from the rest of colonized space, Sol is - as far as we know - a safe place? If we reopen the jump node to Sol, would we also be holding the door open for the Shivans as well? Is this a risk we are prepared to take? Do we have the right to imperil the people of Sol? These are the questions we need answering, but will the GTVA allow us to try?<br /> <br /> ===[November 14th, 2352] Memories of a veteran from the 53rd Hammerheads===<br /> ''Written on his personal diary, recovered by the heirs after his death, on September 18th, 2388''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Shortly after our final victory over the Lucifer, I felt relieved about the possibility of not facing the Shivans ever again. This feeling has changed over the years, of course, effectively turning me into what I am right now. I am now obsessed, puzzled by what I, for a long time, believed was but a memory of the past. It now chases me, over and over, even in my dreams. I seem to be the only person around here who spends most of the day thinking about what lies beyond the sealed jump node.<br /> <br /> The victory over such an enemy came at a price going far beyond the meaning of what we learned from past history, when it comes to conflicts. There was a military victory, at least a local one, and that was the moment the Lucifer fell to our attack aimed at its multiple reactors. But a seal was imposed, and one system had to be cut off from the others, dismantling decades of space colonization in fractions of a second. That was the ultimate cost of our victory.<br /> <br /> We have no idea about the evolution of the conflict on the other side of the node. There are many possibilities, all driven by questions I will never be able to answer, as no one probably will for many years to come. I do wonder, however, if the war for survival on the other side had a similar ending to what happened here, in the form of a second, maybe a third or fourth, sealing of a system from the cosmic net of subspace flow.<br /> <br /> Is this the lesson learnt from the Destroyers? Disappear into the oblivion of endless space, with your species going extinct, or merely slow down the process by self isolating? Is isolation the final solution over a galactic conflict with an enemy that won't come for your resources, instead overwhelms you with technology and numbers, then aims to cancel your entire civilization with no trace whatsoever of a contact, a will for peace?<br /> <br /> Are the survivors on the other side, providing that they're still alive, in a chasing marathon with destiny, a fight for survival where cutting the branches of a colossal tree is the only way to preserve life?<br /> <br /> ==[[The Spirit of Ptah]]==<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] First excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> One thing that may be more due to common stereotypes than actual proof and evidence of their actions, is their supposed tendency to give individual lives less of a value compared to us. Suicides, kamikaze attempts and possibly brave actions with no consideration of the possible consequences, all seem to be more frequent in Vasudan culture compared to our own tendencies. An equal stereotype from their end sees us as greedy and unable to work together for a common, greater goal, as we are doomed to let our individual interests overcome it.<br /> <br /> The ongoing war with this alien species leads us - if we want to analyze their culture objectively - to view their behaviors in combat separately from what they do in civilian life. From what we understand, Vasudans with roles and responsibilities have enormous psychological pressure, regardless of their skills. They're meritocratic, in the sense that they seem to ignore all internal differences with respect to social rank, thus allowing the most skilled and talented of them to have notable careers in the context of their respective castes, and only the highest of ranks are predominantly driven by inheritance.<br /> <br /> Vasudans with specific roles in politics and the academic world take this pressure very, very seriously. Governors failing to achieve specific pre-set objectives of their political mandates may oftentimes end their careers in dishonored retirement, or even commit suicide. Lecturers and researchers whose works are proven to be weak or wrong under strict checks within their communities may also end their careers so abruptly. All of this happens in our own culture, too, but more rarely, thereby leading to rigid stereotypes on both sides.<br /> <br /> While, from the Vasudans' perspective, all of this may be an interpretation of death as a necessary means to obtain honor and fulfill some particular goal, this can be actually interpreted as their way to adore life and what it offers.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Second excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> A lot has been written and said about the Vasudan language and its countless dialects, with stereotypes indicating such forms of expressions as absurdly complicated, as words may change - even radically so - depending on social rank, the distance to Vasuda Prime, the underlying circumstances of the conversation and myriad other factors.<br /> <br /> This extra complexity, which adds to the overall complexity of the many thousands of dialects spoken by the Vasudans, may seem difficult to understand and justify by trying to relate it to modern Terran languages. It's commonly interpreted, in fact, as yet another sign of ritualism and superstition injected by the Vasudans into virtually any endeavor in their lives, with the language being just one of the many examples supporting this thesis. As most linguists will agree, however, it doesn't differ that much from what our own languages have been based on in the past few millennia. While the overall complexity of these variations wasn't comparable to that of Vasudan languages, we have many notable examples in our own history proving that, unlike what the stereotypes seem to indicate, adding complexity to text and conversations is not a purely Vasudan tendency.<br /> <br /> To be more specific, in Terran history, with only a few exceptions still persisting today, languages and dialects have taken into account contexts that would cause them to be difficult to understand under modern circumstances. One such factor was social rank, with differences depending on who was talking and who said person was talking to. All known examples were constrained by the fact that they were spoken by natives with extremely limited technological capabilities, as they obviously weren't space faring populations, but the fundamentals we extrapolate from archeological findings point to an apparent convergence.<br /> <br /> Who knows with any certainty? Perhaps, had Terran history proceeded differently, we would be speaking with that same extra reverential complexity that the Vasudan language is built upon.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Third excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> Vasuda Prime, the fourth planet of the Vasuda system, is the homeworld of this species at war with us. Unlike we Terrans, who managed to establish colonies on many planets and satellites of Sol, the Vasudans had to face a much greater challenge, as Vasuda Prime is the only major celestial body compatible with exploitable colonization in that system, so they've relied a lot on jump nodes to found new colonies in nearby systems. The discovery of subspace, in fact, was demonstrably much more of a blessing to the Vasudans than it was for us, and this is mostly due to Sol's peculiarities. We don't have the same need to expand our hegemony to other systems. This is one of the reasons why many suspect that the war was doomed to start regardless of the outcome of the two species’ first contacts, though this is still open to debate.<br /> <br /> The planet is a rather tough environment, and many question how the Vasudans evolved and developed in such a scenario. Its landmass is divided into two major supercontinents which underwent a rifting event only a few million years ago, and are still moving apart from each other. The current geodynamic setting of Vasuda is similar, although far from equal, to that seen on Earth between the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras. Much like with Earth over 250 million years ago, the formation of a single supercontinent - Pangaea, in our case - may lead to radical changes in the environments, with the expansion of deserts in the inner regions resulting in planetwide mass extinctions. Vasuda Prime hosted a colossal desert prior to the rifting event, caused by the collision of smaller continents, and even now, as the two major supercontinents are diverging, the surface is still mostly dominated by deserts. The Vasudans are believed to have evolved in coastal regions of the southern supercontinent, whose climate was more temperate, though still challenging. These geodynamical settings and the timing of past continental collisions have allowed Vasuda Prime to host hydrocarbon reserves at least one order of magnitude larger than those on Earth, and the exploitation of such reserves at the right stage of Vasudan history has allowed the technological boost that ultimately led them to become a space-faring species.<br /> <br /> Unlike Terrans, who have developed more on the technology branch than on an evolutionary scale in the past few thousand years, the Vasudans appear to have experienced an anomalous change a few millennia ago, the origin of which is still debated.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Fourth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> The most puzzling and contradictory perception of the Vasudans is the one that sees them as soldiers who would blindly follow any kind of order given by their general. The reality couldn't be any more different than this perception, supported by fragmented and anecdotal evidence.<br /> <br /> Though their respect towards authorities is unquestionable, applying to many endeavors beyond warfare, each Vasudan is asked to be judgmental and follow precise customs and courtesies to let someone with a higher rank know that they disagree about a choice. This occurrence is rare, but whenever it happens, it exposes a new facet of Vasudan culture and a way to interpret the formalities of authority in a more pragmatic manner. There are limited circumstances where any Vasudan could object to an extremely highly ranked member of their military or Parliament, and do so in a way that would seem absurd to us Terrans. Even in the greatest democracies of our past, the interaction between simple citizens or soldiers and their rules has always had some sort of filter, and our modern era is no exception, despite the GTA's status as a stable and solid democracy.<br /> <br /> Where does the difference lie, then? How come a supposed stricter respect of higher authorities also accounts for interactions between Vasudans whose ranks are vastly different? Some interpret this as a legacy of past times, when the lack of technology allowed more direct interactions between Vasudans of different ranks, though strictly regulated by precise rituals. According to a different interpretation, this may be due to one specific and ancient ritual of Vasudan culture, which used to be very common in small villages with one or two leaders. This inherited tradition expects each Vasudan, at least once in a lifetime, to perform a ritual conversation with a person of a much higher rank, and discuss particular subjects which are determined by respective ranks. The date and content of the conversation would then be a solid part of one's achievements, in a way that would resemble a Terran diploma. Ancient Vasudan tombs have been confirmed to have inscriptions related to this ritual.<br /> <br /> The truth may be within a combination of these two interpretations, which both differ quite a lot from what we've experienced in our own history. Imagine one of our ancestors getting the chance to talk to a king or ruler, and imagine the tomb having an inscription about that conversation as if it were a remarkable achievement, something that heirs would talk about for decades.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Fifth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> As a space faring species, could the Vasudans see the light of technological advance being darkened and shrouded by a veil of superstition? It appears that they potentially could. The Vasudans, regardless of their rank, take ancient texts and lessons from the past very seriously. Their concept of the past itself deserves its own explanation, as it constitutes a key to understanding this phenomenon.<br /> <br /> The main point here is that the words we use to describe these sources of knowledge for the Vasudan people diverge quite a bit from their actual meaning, as seen from their perspective. We talk about Vasudan mythology and prophecies, and by using these words, we carry on implications that don't match the real values of these from their perspective. In Earth's history, a mythology was essentially the religion of a defunct civilization, while a prophecy is something tied to supernatural powers, and therefore very weak once analyzed with reason in mind. This is absolutely not what Vasudan 'mythology' and 'prophecies' are about; both of them, while still vague in their words and open to dozens of different interpretations, are tied to reality in a way far greater than most ancient texts and inscriptions in Terran history.<br /> <br /> The paradox is that we've been influenced more by religion and superstition than the Vasudans have been, yet we took separate paths that ultimately led to our situation being reversed. Our own mythologies referred to hypothetical creatures and stories, while Vasudan 'mythologies' combined supernatural elements with primitive science, in an effort to explain natural phenomena and the intrinsic fundamentals of nature. How could this happen, how come we've ended up pretending to be the rational individuals, unlike our superstitious counterparts?<br /> <br /> Once again, it's a subject with multiple hypotheses and no clear explanations or answers can be given. Researchers, however, point to the Vasudans' religious and political stability over millennia as the main reason behind this difference. While incredibly varied on their own, Vasudan cultures share a common root dating back to millennia ago, and this may have allowed tales and scripts to be carried over hundreds of generations with no changes whatsoever to their influence. It's not the case for ancient Terran cultures, which were geographically constrained and have undergone radical changes on the scale of decades, not millennia. It goes without saying that, as the social and religious momentum in their society is maintained, ancient texts acquire more and more importance thanks to their age.<br /> <br /> This view, however, is not shared by many researchers who still see superstition as the source of these Vasudan behaviors.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Sixth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> Regardless of the Galactic Terran Alliance's monitoring of all texts and publications concerning the Vasudans, overwhelming evidence about their Parliament being seriously corrupted is hardly debatable. Such corruption is widespread and affects the lives of the Vasudan people in ways that, if hypothetically applied to the GTA itself, could fit the description of a not-so-benevolent dictatorship.<br /> <br /> Corruption has been confirmed to have characterized the Parliament for a significant portion of its history, though sudden increases have been experienced - based on the information that we have - following the colonization of nearby systems. As reported before in this manuscript, the Vasudans are more dependent on space colonization than we are, and it's no secret that something as critically important as the discovery of subspace would have tremendous implications. Early Vasudan subspace travel was severely regulated and inaccessible to most, and the Parliament worked hard to maintain the economic balances of such a great discovery. Space colonization has increased corruption within the Parliament as a tool to control the flow of resources and the consequent influence of those responsible for the harvesting of said resources. The war made things even worse, as military elites put pressure on a number of political debates for things that seem more strictly related to their attempt to gain more influence than actually make decisions relevant to the war effort. Despite all of these major drawbacks, the Parliament as a political infrastructure performs its job, and we have learned more than once that its corruption isn't always a sign of weakness. The background noise caused by deep conflicts of interest does not prevent this entity from ruling over the Vasudan Empire and responding to actions taken by the GTA.<br /> <br /> If we were to analyze the true potential of this phenomenon, we'd temporarily have to disregard the current political setting of the PVE. The current situation is atypical, as a war with another species undoubtedly makes certain interests fall to the wayside in favor of the struggle for survival, but what would happen in a different scenario? If anything, we estimate that the influence of certain elements within the Parliament may be so high that they could secretly divert resources, workforce and combatants to their own factions, if they wanted to. The institution is structured in a way that would allow a parallel fleet to the PVN to be formed and grown, albeit under specific circumstances.<br /> <br /> [[Category: Series Resurrecta]]</div>

To do so would help define the meaning of a military’s claim to 'victory' on a battlefield that spans an entire system.<br /> <br /> The days of the Great War are long gone. At that point, most of you weren't even born yet, and those among you who were would have been infants still learning how to walk and talk.<br /> <br /> People like me ''do'' remember that unique sense of terror. We were coming out of fourteen long years of conventional conflict with another species. The odds of two species encountering each other in space, let alone fighting each other, were so miniscule we couldn't even calculate them.<br /> <br /> Then the Shivans appeared. They redefined the concepts of threat, destruction, invasion and survival. They taught us what these words really meant, and made us realize that what counted as conquering a star system, or winning a war with another species, are both intrinsically dependent on who's the winner. A winner like the Shivans won't just achieve space superiority. It will also wipe all life and civilization from a planet, just as it did with Vasuda Prime.<br /> <br /> The sudden discovery of yet another species, the Ancients, allowed us to prevent Earth's fall to such a fate. <br /> <br /> Earth, a homeworld you have never visited, yet perceive as something important but only remotely tied to your life.<br /> <br /> The past is a key factor in shaping the future.

It is increasingly used as a way to describe those like you who have never been to Sol. Worry not, for you are not Lost. You will lead the future of humanity, which no longer needs its homeworld to survive and prosper.<br /> <br /> Let the new homeworld, our 'Neo Terra' of sorts, be everywhere you'll be calling home in the days, months, and years to come.<br /> <br /> ===[September 2nd, 2341] Report of Akheton Corporation Delegation to the Imperial Palace===<br /> For the attention of Emperor Khonsu II:<br /> <br /> It is with great honor and pleasure that we introduce the finalized report and digital model of Project Sobek. The tenth annex of this confidential document is focused on the possibility of implementing beam weapon technology in this design.<br /> <br /> As you are already aware, the concept of this design is based on declassified reports of the SCv Moloch, a 'corvette' class of warship encountered in the late stages of the Great War. <br /> <br /> At first erroneously interpreted as a large cruiser, the Moloch was something else. The Moloch is an intermediate class combining the speed and flexibility of cruisers with the firepower and endurance of destroyers. We have designated this new class ‘corvette’.<br /> <br /> It proved to be so versatile that joint teams of Vasudan and Terran engineers analyzed all available reports on the few ships of this class that had been encountered. Subsequently the concept of the corvette class was introduced to strategists.<br /> <br /> Unlike the Shivan design we based our work on, what will likely become the GVC-V Sobek lacks a fighter bay. Our reports and tests proved that the inclusion of a fighter bay would significantly decrease the hull integrity of the warship without adding any tactical capabilities other than hosting a wing of small-to-medium fighters.<br /> <br /> Compared to the Moloch, however, the Sobek’s firepower is considerably greater and the sleek design is expected to make the Sobek more efficient in combat, both in attack and defense. This is a similar result to that of the Terran Deimos, which is also expected to be manufactured very soon. We believe the Sobek will fulfil a number of roles the Deimos may be too logistically complex to perform.<br /> <br /> Both ships will be vital for the future of Vasudan and Terran fleets. In our effort to renew our fleets, the Sobek will be the key to efficiencies in strategies, logistics and combat. Under the right conditions, as tested in the attached war simulations, two ships of this class can compete directly with any known destroyer and come out victorious.<br /> <br /> The final production phase awaits Your approval, Emperor.<br /> <br /> ===[March 5th, 2335] Epitaph in a devastated Ancient settlement in Altair IV===<br /> ''Discovered by Vasudan survivors from the Vasuda Prime massacre.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> &quot;A lone survivor joined us two Glorious Homeworld cycles ago, the only survivor from an entire colony of our people to escape from a devastated system. It was truly a miracle.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It was so unbelievable at first that, for a moment, we thought it was bait, a way for the Destroyers to expose our settlement of survivors and make its location known. It ultimately turned out to be a genuine spacecraft of our race, coming from several beloved star systems distant.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The survivor piloting it was severely wounded, but we managed to provide basic cures. Among the data and archives carried in the approaching emergency spacecraft were testimonies of a prosperity long gone. We also discovered how the Destroyers employed [Trains of Doom] in that system, as well as in the neighbouring systems of our once mighty empire. These massive convoys of ‘Trains of Doom’ were difficult to detect and monitor. Days after their disappearance, they would be followed by large Destroyer armadas, attacking our people from flanks and even from behind, in systems one or two [Subspace] jumps away from the frontlines.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The reports from our people in that colony provided us with significant intelligence. They had learned that in many systems the Destroyers had hidden away fleets capable of staying in stasis for millennia, before their reactivation by a Train of Doom. Once reactivated, the fleets would join their main force and eliminate whatever trace of our once beautiful civilization they detected.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;These same awakened fleets were seen employing a bombing tactic never seen before in the invasion, a weapon of terror that could use subspace to... [indecipherable due to excessive superficial damage.]&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The survivor, messenger of a doomed branch of our fallen Empire, ultimately passed away from a disease we were no longer able to cure with what little we now have. Its treatment would have needed mere minutes in our old, great epochs of prosperity and glory. If anything, the pilot was lucky. Unlike us, he will not have to live through the last few remaining days of existence, eye witnessing our complete extinction not only as a civilization, but as a species.&quot;<br /> <br /> ===[February 18th, 2320] Excerpt from &quot;An introduction to subspace, the great physical wonder&quot;===<br /> Subspace and gravity appear to be connected to each other, albeit in a somewhat complex relationship. Although most of the features of subspace are still a mystery to us, we have observed a strong connection between it and gravitational fields. It doesn't necessarily mean that all of subspace requires the presence of gravity fields to allow travel, as ably demonstrated by interstellar jump nodes, but it shows how, at the very least, the roots of this phenomenon are connected to gravity.<br /> <br /> Since the very beginning of subspace exploitation, it has been noted that the amount of energy necessary for an intrasystem jump is proportional to the intensity of the gravitational field, and its distribution with respect to a given craft's route. For example, jumping towards the center of a star system requires less energy compared to a journey away from said center. The difference in terms of energy required is negligible for modern subspace drives, but it was a major factor in early experiments. It has also been proven that proximity to an interstellar jump node does not act as an auxiliary gravity source. Therefore, jump nodes do not affect the energy required for intrasystem jumps. <br /> <br /> Intersystem jumps follow very different rules. The energy required for such jumps is way beyond the capabilities of small spacecraft, and poses a challenge for even the largest ships. However, it is not proportional to the distance between two stable jump nodes. This leads one to assume, as described in greater detail in later chapters of this publication, that while intrasystem jumps are vastly affected by gravity, intersystem jumps are not. Instead, intersystem jumps rely on some kind of subspace ‘flow’, which, once entered, allows ships to pass through it with little effort beyond the energy expended from entering subspace. Gravity seems to play no role in this flow, as the gravitational field of connected star systems is negligible at best during travel.<br /> There's no influence from external gravity sources, either, because the subspace flow passes through interstellar space, whose density is low. Further in the publication, hypotheses and experiments showing the existence of a subspace flow will be shown...<br /> <br /> ===[April 13th, 2365] Excerpt from the book 'Tales of a Wounded Great War Pilot'===<br /> <br /> <br /> The Top-Brass maintained secrecy over the Iksura freighters and their huge cargo capacity for quite a while. The reason? Morale. It was bad enough they had to admit that the Shivans had us beat when it came to numbers, shields, weapons, hyperspace mastery and what not. Can you imagine how much worse it would have been if they had to admit that they trounced us in logistics, comms, sensors and Electronic Warfare too? That’s my hypothesis anyway. Could there be something else behind it as well? Who knows?<br /> <br /> One thing I can tell you for sure: facing them in combat was as frightening as facing a destroyer or similar warship. You're out there, in the void of space, pretending you are shooting at a sitting duck, except this sitting duck and its cargo are shooting back at you, and they are better armed, armored, and protected than one of our Fenris-class cruisers. Think about that, let it sink in, then add one important factor to the equation: a jamming field whose strength and range would prevent any sensor lock from being gained. No missile that required a lock could be launched against these... Doomtrains. None at all.<br /> <br /> It gets worse. That jamming field also scrambles your sensors, so your situational awareness turns to crud. It screws with your coms too, so you are cut off from your allies, their messages, their calls for help and so on. This cuts both ways of course, so you can’t call out to them for help either, and if your secondary banks run dry you can forget about calling in a support ship to rearm. This isolation was a powerful psychological weapon, at times more frightening than their turrets. <br /> <br /> We suspected the Doomtrains had a weakness however, and when we were finally able to put it to the test, we were proved right. Destroy any of the components in the train and it would trigger a chain reaction, destroying the components next to it. Kill the freighter itself and all ten of the SAC 4’s it was towing would go up in flames right along with it. Classic domino effect, beautiful. We were not sure why this would happen, but we guessed it was a self-destruct mechanism designed to prevent their tech from being captured by an enemy.<br /> <br /> The brass figured that only the most vital supplies and components would be carried by Iksuras. I know the brass were salivating over the chance to scan one of those things. Trust me, we tried, but against that jamming it simply wasn’t happening. Capturing one and opening it up for a look-see was off the table too due to the self-destruct mechanism. Whatever those things were carrying, the Shivans really didn’t want us getting our hands on it.<br /> <br /> Who would have thought such a strategic headache could stem from a mere freighter? Freighters were supposed to be easy prey - the targets rooks cut their teeth on while us veterans mixed it up with the fighters. Clearly, the Shivans didn’t get that memo, or they weren’t playing by the rules.<br /> <br /> Now think on this - what if the Iksuras were responsible for maintaining entire Shivan fleets with their mysterious cargo? That would make them second only to the Lucifer in terms of strategic importance. That's the lesson we learned at Ross 128.<br /> <br /> ===[August 5th, 2337] Classified transcript from the interrogation of a Hammer of Light fanatic===<br /> ''&quot;To what degree were you involved in the final efforts of the Alliance in countering the Shivans in Ross 128?&quot;''<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;I was deployed by my guru to investigate Shivan activity in the system.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> ''<br /> ''&quot;How was this activity carried out?&quot;''''<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;I was the pilot of a retrofitted Seshat scout fighter. I had enough supplies in my spacecraft to perform a reconnaissance mission lasting an entire month. I then staged my loss in a reconnaissance operation, self-destructed my craft, and provided my guru with the information he needed. One of our comrades picked me up and organized my transfer back to safe systems.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> ''&quot;What kind of information have you been able to provide, and by what means?&quot;''<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;We learned that the Destroyers, as per our prophecies, were not defeated. There was something else besides the Lucifer controlling them. It was replacing the Lucifer's lost command and control function. It then would have conquered Vasudan and Terran space, succeeding where the Lucifer had failed.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> ''&quot;I see. Continue...&quot;''<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;Those were testing times for our ideals, and our faith. The Hammer of Light seemed doomed, oblivion the only possible outcome. Millennia of prophecies were being disproved, or so thought those who’s faith was wavering. We, the truly faithful, knew better and our discovery proved our sacred prophecies correct. <br /> That truth had to be delivered back to our systems to stop the mass defections and suicides among Hammer of Light loyalists.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> ''&quot;Were you aware of other activities being carried out on the frontline?&quot;''<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;Yes, I know that some of our own loyalists were onboard the PVD Imhotep. Others were spread amongst the members of the battle group. Every single ship had some of our faithful onboard. Some of us managed to slow down joint Vasudan-Terran operations by performing surgical strikes and driving PVE and GTA strategists into chaos. They were ultimately fooled into attributing those failures to new Destroyer designs they hadn't yet encountered. That allowed us to go unnoticed for weeks.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> ''&quot;Describe one such act of sabotage to joint Vasudan-Terran operations.&quot;''<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;It happened days after the destruction of the Lucifer. Some of our loyalists were sent to Delta Serpentis to deal with a Cain cruiser which seemed unusually well guarded for a ship of its class. We believed it was the sign of something greater, and the moment we saw the Shivans using a previously unseen weapon, we realized it was time to become the messengers of a new truth. We haven't stopped ever since.&quot;<br /> <br /> ===[January 24th, 2368] Civilian Media Investigation Report &quot;Questions they won't let us answer about the Shivans&quot;===<br /> ''Aired on most public GTVA channels ''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> If we really want to get to the bottom of the problem, the reason behind all of the big unanswered questions, we have to go back to where everything started.<br /> <br /> If you're guessing what star we're showing right now, you're guessing right, it's Ross 128. Don't be fooled by this fiery glow coming from a red dwarf. The mysteries that lay in this system are far greater than previously thought.<br /> <br /> Some of you watching this episode are Capellan refugees, looking for a new place to call home. You might as well wonder what lies between the tragedy of your homeworlds' collapse and the source of the Shivan incursions in the Great War. To date, there are no clear - let alone official - explanations on how the Great War actually ended. There's the majestic, glorious end - that of the Lucifer - but there was an actual end to the war, the last encounter between a Shivan and a Terran or Vasudan ship.<br /> <br /> Details on this last encounter are unknown. We have no idea how it took place, we know it happened in this system, somewhere in the void of space, yet it led to the disappearance of the Shivans for over three decades. We still hear from scientists who believe the Shivans used interstellar jump drives capable of not relying on stable jump nodes, proving how such drives may theoretically be possible, but how accurate are these hypotheses?<br /> <br /> Furthermore, we believe that hiding the truth from honest GTVA citizens is an insult to the sacrifices committed by our loved ones in the past forty-five years of galactic conflict and challenging reconstruction efforts. We may be as resilient as phoenixes rising from ashes, but at what point do we accept the ignorance of the past, especially when said ignorance is driven by somebody? How can we possibly live our lives and even plan to reopen the Sol jump node using Knossos-derived technology, if we're so unsure about what's behind us?<br /> <br /> Should we even plan to go this far, knowing that, even if it is sealed from the rest of colonized space, Sol is - as far as we know and can extrapolate - a safe place?<br /> <br /> ===[November 14th, 2352] Memories of a veteran from the 53rd Hammerheads===<br /> ''Written on his personal diary, recovered by the heirs after his death, on September 18th, 2388''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Shortly after our final victory over the Lucifer, I felt relieved about the possibility of not facing the Shivans ever again. This feeling has changed over the years, of course, effectively turning me into what I am right now. I am now obsessed, puzzled by what I, for a long time, believed was but a memory of the past. It now chases me, over and over, even in my dreams. I seem to be the only person around here who spends most of the day thinking about what lies beyond the sealed jump node.<br /> <br /> The victory over such an enemy came at a price going far beyond the meaning of what we learned from past history, when it comes to conflicts. There was a military victory, at least a local one, and that was the moment the Lucifer fell to our attack aimed at its multiple reactors. But a seal was imposed, and one system had to be cut off from the others, dismantling decades of space colonization in fractions of a second. That was the ultimate cost of our victory.<br /> <br /> We have no idea about the evolution of the conflict on the other side of the node. There are many possibilities, all driven by questions I will never be able to answer, as no one probably will for many years to come. I do wonder, however, if the war for survival on the other side had a similar ending to what happened here, in the form of a second, maybe a third or fourth, sealing of a system from the cosmic net of subspace flow.<br /> <br /> Is this the lesson learnt from the Destroyers? Disappear into the oblivion of endless space, with your species going extinct, or merely slow down the process by self isolating? Is isolation the final solution over a galactic conflict with an enemy that won't come for your resources, instead overwhelms you with technology and numbers, then aims to cancel your entire civilization with no trace whatsoever of a contact, a will for peace?<br /> <br /> Are the survivors on the other side, providing that they're still alive, in a chasing marathon with destiny, a fight for survival where cutting the branches of a colossal tree is the only way to preserve life?<br /> <br /> ==[[The Spirit of Ptah]]==<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] First excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> One thing that may be more due to common stereotypes than actual proof and evidence of their actions, is their supposed tendency to give individual lives less of a value compared to us. Suicides, kamikaze attempts and possibly brave actions with no consideration of the possible consequences, all seem to be more frequent in Vasudan culture compared to our own tendencies. An equal stereotype from their end sees us as greedy and unable to work together for a common, greater goal, as we are doomed to let our individual interests overcome it.<br /> <br /> The ongoing war with this alien species leads us - if we want to analyze their culture objectively - to view their behaviors in combat separately from what they do in civilian life. From what we understand, Vasudans with roles and responsibilities have enormous psychological pressure, regardless of their skills. They're meritocratic, in the sense that they seem to ignore all internal differences with respect to social rank, thus allowing the most skilled and talented of them to have notable careers in the context of their respective castes, and only the highest of ranks are predominantly driven by inheritance.<br /> <br /> Vasudans with specific roles in politics and the academic world take this pressure very, very seriously. Governors failing to achieve specific pre-set objectives of their political mandates may oftentimes end their careers in dishonored retirement, or even commit suicide. Lecturers and researchers whose works are proven to be weak or wrong under strict checks within their communities may also end their careers so abruptly. All of this happens in our own culture, too, but more rarely, thereby leading to rigid stereotypes on both sides.<br /> <br /> While, from the Vasudans' perspective, all of this may be an interpretation of death as a necessary means to obtain honor and fulfill some particular goal, this can be actually interpreted as their way to adore life and what it offers.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Second excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> A lot has been written and said about the Vasudan language and its countless dialects, with stereotypes indicating such forms of expressions as absurdly complicated, as words may change - even radically so - depending on social rank, the distance to Vasuda Prime, the underlying circumstances of the conversation and myriad other factors.<br /> <br /> This extra complexity, which adds to the overall complexity of the many thousands of dialects spoken by the Vasudans, may seem difficult to understand and justify by trying to relate it to modern Terran languages. It's commonly interpreted, in fact, as yet another sign of ritualism and superstition injected by the Vasudans into virtually any endeavor in their lives, with the language being just one of the many examples supporting this thesis. As most linguists will agree, however, it doesn't differ that much from what our own languages have been based on in the past few millennia. While the overall complexity of these variations wasn't comparable to that of Vasudan languages, we have many notable examples in our own history proving that, unlike what the stereotypes seem to indicate, adding complexity to text and conversations is not a purely Vasudan tendency.<br /> <br /> To be more specific, in Terran history, with only a few exceptions still persisting today, languages and dialects have taken into account contexts that would cause them to be difficult to understand under modern circumstances. One such factor was social rank, with differences depending on who was talking and who said person was talking to. All known examples were constrained by the fact that they were spoken by natives with extremely limited technological capabilities, as they obviously weren't space faring populations, but the fundamentals we extrapolate from archeological findings point to an apparent convergence.<br /> <br /> Who knows with any certainty? Perhaps, had Terran history proceeded differently, we would be speaking with that same extra reverential complexity that the Vasudan language is built upon.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Third excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> Vasuda Prime, the fourth planet of the Vasuda system, is the homeworld of this species at war with us. Unlike we Terrans, who managed to establish colonies on many planets and satellites of Sol, the Vasudans had to face a much greater challenge, as Vasuda Prime is the only major celestial body compatible with exploitable colonization in that system, so they've relied a lot on jump nodes to found new colonies in nearby systems. The discovery of subspace, in fact, was demonstrably much more of a blessing to the Vasudans than it was for us, and this is mostly due to Sol's peculiarities. We don't have the same need to expand our hegemony to other systems. This is one of the reasons why many suspect that the war was doomed to start regardless of the outcome of the two species’ first contacts, though this is still open to debate.<br /> <br /> The planet is a rather tough environment, and many question how the Vasudans evolved and developed in such a scenario. Its landmass is divided into two major supercontinents which underwent a rifting event only a few million years ago, and are still moving apart from each other. The current geodynamic setting of Vasuda is similar, although far from equal, to that seen on Earth between the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras. Much like with Earth over 250 million years ago, the formation of a single supercontinent - Pangaea, in our case - may lead to radical changes in the environments, with the expansion of deserts in the inner regions resulting in planetwide mass extinctions. Vasuda Prime hosted a colossal desert prior to the rifting event, caused by the collision of smaller continents, and even now, as the two major supercontinents are diverging, the surface is still mostly dominated by deserts. The Vasudans are believed to have evolved in coastal regions of the southern supercontinent, whose climate was more temperate, though still challenging. These geodynamical settings and the timing of past continental collisions have allowed Vasuda Prime to host hydrocarbon reserves at least one order of magnitude larger than those on Earth, and the exploitation of such reserves at the right stage of Vasudan history has allowed the technological boost that ultimately led them to become a space-faring species.<br /> <br /> Unlike Terrans, who have developed more on the technology branch than on an evolutionary scale in the past few thousand years, the Vasudans appear to have experienced an anomalous change a few millennia ago, the origin of which is still debated.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Fourth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> The most puzzling and contradictory perception of the Vasudans is the one that sees them as soldiers who would blindly follow any kind of order given by their general. The reality couldn't be any more different than this perception, supported by fragmented and anecdotal evidence.<br /> <br /> Though their respect towards authorities is unquestionable, applying to many endeavors beyond warfare, each Vasudan is asked to be judgmental and follow precise customs and courtesies to let someone with a higher rank know that they disagree about a choice. This occurrence is rare, but whenever it happens, it exposes a new facet of Vasudan culture and a way to interpret the formalities of authority in a more pragmatic manner. There are limited circumstances where any Vasudan could object to an extremely highly ranked member of their military or Parliament, and do so in a way that would seem absurd to us Terrans. Even in the greatest democracies of our past, the interaction between simple citizens or soldiers and their rules has always had some sort of filter, and our modern era is no exception, despite the GTA's status as a stable and solid democracy.<br /> <br /> Where does the difference lie, then? How come a supposed stricter respect of higher authorities also accounts for interactions between Vasudans whose ranks are vastly different? Some interpret this as a legacy of past times, when the lack of technology allowed more direct interactions between Vasudans of different ranks, though strictly regulated by precise rituals. According to a different interpretation, this may be due to one specific and ancient ritual of Vasudan culture, which used to be very common in small villages with one or two leaders. This inherited tradition expects each Vasudan, at least once in a lifetime, to perform a ritual conversation with a person of a much higher rank, and discuss particular subjects which are determined by respective ranks. The date and content of the conversation would then be a solid part of one's achievements, in a way that would resemble a Terran diploma. Ancient Vasudan tombs have been confirmed to have inscriptions related to this ritual.<br /> <br /> The truth may be within a combination of these two interpretations, which both differ quite a lot from what we've experienced in our own history. Imagine one of our ancestors getting the chance to talk to a king or ruler, and imagine the tomb having an inscription about that conversation as if it were a remarkable achievement, something that heirs would talk about for decades.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Fifth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> As a space faring species, could the Vasudans see the light of technological advance being darkened and shrouded by a veil of superstition? It appears that they potentially could. The Vasudans, regardless of their rank, take ancient texts and lessons from the past very seriously. Their concept of the past itself deserves its own explanation, as it constitutes a key to understanding this phenomenon.<br /> <br /> The main point here is that the words we use to describe these sources of knowledge for the Vasudan people diverge quite a bit from their actual meaning, as seen from their perspective. We talk about Vasudan mythology and prophecies, and by using these words, we carry on implications that don't match the real values of these from their perspective. In Earth's history, a mythology was essentially the religion of a defunct civilization, while a prophecy is something tied to supernatural powers, and therefore very weak once analyzed with reason in mind. This is absolutely not what Vasudan 'mythology' and 'prophecies' are about; both of them, while still vague in their words and open to dozens of different interpretations, are tied to reality in a way far greater than most ancient texts and inscriptions in Terran history.<br /> <br /> The paradox is that we've been influenced more by religion and superstition than the Vasudans have been, yet we took separate paths that ultimately led to our situation being reversed. Our own mythologies referred to hypothetical creatures and stories, while Vasudan 'mythologies' combined supernatural elements with primitive science, in an effort to explain natural phenomena and the intrinsic fundamentals of nature. How could this happen, how come we've ended up pretending to be the rational individuals, unlike our superstitious counterparts?<br /> <br /> Once again, it's a subject with multiple hypotheses and no clear explanations or answers can be given. Researchers, however, point to the Vasudans' religious and political stability over millennia as the main reason behind this difference. While incredibly varied on their own, Vasudan cultures share a common root dating back to millennia ago, and this may have allowed tales and scripts to be carried over hundreds of generations with no changes whatsoever to their influence. It's not the case for ancient Terran cultures, which were geographically constrained and have undergone radical changes on the scale of decades, not millennia. It goes without saying that, as the social and religious momentum in their society is maintained, ancient texts acquire more and more importance thanks to their age.<br /> <br /> This view, however, is not shared by many researchers who still see superstition as the source of these Vasudan behaviors.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Sixth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> Regardless of the Galactic Terran Alliance's monitoring of all texts and publications concerning the Vasudans, overwhelming evidence about their Parliament being seriously corrupted is hardly debatable. Such corruption is widespread and affects the lives of the Vasudan people in ways that, if hypothetically applied to the GTA itself, could fit the description of a not-so-benevolent dictatorship.<br /> <br /> Corruption has been confirmed to have characterized the Parliament for a significant portion of its history, though sudden increases have been experienced - based on the information that we have - following the colonization of nearby systems. As reported before in this manuscript, the Vasudans are more dependent on space colonization than we are, and it's no secret that something as critically important as the discovery of subspace would have tremendous implications. Early Vasudan subspace travel was severely regulated and inaccessible to most, and the Parliament worked hard to maintain the economic balances of such a great discovery. Space colonization has increased corruption within the Parliament as a tool to control the flow of resources and the consequent influence of those responsible for the harvesting of said resources. The war made things even worse, as military elites put pressure on a number of political debates for things that seem more strictly related to their attempt to gain more influence than actually make decisions relevant to the war effort. Despite all of these major drawbacks, the Parliament as a political infrastructure performs its job, and we have learned more than once that its corruption isn't always a sign of weakness. The background noise caused by deep conflicts of interest does not prevent this entity from ruling over the Vasudan Empire and responding to actions taken by the GTA.<br /> <br /> If we were to analyze the true potential of this phenomenon, we'd temporarily have to disregard the current political setting of the PVE. The current situation is atypical, as a war with another species undoubtedly makes certain interests fall to the wayside in favor of the struggle for survival, but what would happen in a different scenario? If anything, we estimate that the influence of certain elements within the Parliament may be so high that they could secretly divert resources, workforce and combatants to their own factions, if they wanted to. The institution is structured in a way that would allow a parallel fleet to the PVN to be formed and grown, albeit under specific circumstances.<br /> <br /> [[Category: Series Resurrecta]]</div>

To do so would help define the meaning of a military’s claim to 'victory' on a battlefield that spans an entire system.<br /> <br /> The days of the Great War are long gone. At that point, most of you weren't even born yet, and those among you who were would have been infants still learning how to walk and talk.<br /> <br /> People like me ''do'' remember that unique sense of terror. We were coming out of fourteen long years of conventional conflict with another species. The odds of two species encountering each other in space, let alone fighting each other, were so miniscule we couldn't even calculate them.<br /> <br /> Then the Shivans appeared. They redefined the concepts of threat, destruction, invasion and survival. They taught us what these words really meant, and made us realize that what counted as conquering a star system, or winning a war with another species, are both intrinsically dependent on who's the winner. A winner like the Shivans won't just achieve space superiority. It will also wipe all life and civilization from a planet, just as it did with Vasuda Prime.<br /> <br /> The sudden discovery of yet another species, the Ancients, allowed us to prevent Earth's fall to such a fate. <br /> <br /> Earth, a homeworld you have never visited, yet perceive as something important but only remotely tied to your life.<br /> <br /> The past is a key factor in shaping the future. Knowledge of the past will help the GTVA regain and maintain its glory. Some of you may have already heard the term 'The Lost Generation.' It is increasingly used as a way to describe those like you who have never been to Sol. Worry not, for you are not Lost. You will lead the future of humanity, which no longer needs its homeworld to survive and prosper.<br /> <br /> Let the new homeworld, our 'Neo Terra' of sorts, be everywhere you'll be calling home in the days, months, and years to come.<br /> <br /> ===[September 2nd, 2341] Report of Akheton Corporation Delegation to the Imperial Palace===<br /> For the attention of Emperor Khonsu II:<br /> <br /> It is with great honor and pleasure that we introduce the finalized report and digital model of Project Sobek. The tenth annex of this confidential document is focused on the possibility of implementing beam weapon technology in this design.<br /> <br /> As you are already aware, the concept of this design is based on declassified reports of the SCv Moloch, a 'corvette' class of warship encountered in the late stages of the Great War. <br /> <br /> At first erroneously interpreted as a large cruiser, the Moloch was something else. The Moloch is an intermediate class combining the speed and flexibility of cruisers with the firepower and endurance of destroyers. We have designated this new class ‘corvette’.<br /> <br /> It proved to be so versatile that joint teams of Vasudan and Terran engineers analyzed all available reports on the few ships of this class that had been encountered. Subsequently the concept of the corvette class was introduced to strategists.<br /> <br /> Unlike the Shivan design we based our work on, what will likely become the GVC-V Sobek lacks a fighter bay. Our reports and tests proved that the inclusion of a fighter bay would significantly decrease the hull integrity of the warship without adding any tactical capabilities other than hosting a wing of small-to-medium fighters.<br /> <br /> Compared to the Moloch, however, the Sobek’s firepower is considerably greater and the sleek design is expected to make the Sobek more efficient in combat, both in attack and defense. This is a similar result to that of the Terran Deimos, which is also expected to be manufactured very soon. We believe the Sobek will fulfil a number of roles the Deimos may be too logistically complex to perform.<br /> <br /> Both ships will be vital for the future of Vasudan and Terran fleets. In our effort to renew our fleets, the Sobek will be the key to efficiencies in strategies, logistics and combat. Under the right conditions, as tested in the attached war simulations, two ships of this class can compete directly with any known destroyer and come out victorious.<br /> <br /> The final production phase awaits Your approval, Emperor.<br /> <br /> ===[March 5th, 2335] Epitaph in a devastated Ancient settlement in Altair IV===<br /> ''Discovered by Vasudan survivors from the Vasuda Prime massacre.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> &quot;A lone survivor joined us two Glorious Homeworld cycles ago, the only survivor from an entire colony of our people to escape from a devastated system. It was truly a miracle.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It was so unbelievable at first that, for a moment, we thought it was bait, a way for the Destroyers to expose our settlement of survivors and make its location known. It ultimately turned out to be a genuine spacecraft of our race, coming from several beloved star systems distant.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The survivor piloting it was severely wounded, but we managed to provide basic cures. Among the data and archives carried in the approaching emergency spacecraft were testimonies of a prosperity long gone. We also discovered how the Destroyers employed [Trains of Doom] in that system, as well as in the neighbouring systems of our once mighty empire. These massive convoys of ‘Trains of Doom’ were difficult to detect and monitor. Days after their disappearance, they would be followed by large Destroyer armadas, attacking our people from flanks and even from behind, in systems one or two [Subspace] jumps away from the frontlines.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The reports from our people in that colony provided us with significant intelligence. They had learned that in many systems the Destroyers had hidden away fleets capable of staying in stasis for millennia, before their reactivation by a Train of Doom. Once reactivated, the fleets would join their main force and eliminate whatever trace of our once beautiful civilization they detected.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;These same awakened fleets were seen employing a bombing tactic never seen before in the invasion, a weapon of terror that could use subspace to... [indecipherable due to excessive superficial damage.]&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The survivor, messenger of a doomed branch of our fallen Empire, ultimately passed away from a disease we were no longer able to cure with what little we now have. Its treatment would have needed mere minutes in our old, great epochs of prosperity and glory. If anything, the pilot was lucky. Unlike us, he will not have to live through the last few remaining days of existence, eye witnessing our complete extinction not only as a civilization, but as a species.&quot;<br /> <br /> ===[February 18th, 2320] Excerpt from &quot;An introduction to subspace, the great physical wonder&quot;===<br /> Subspace and gravity appear to be connected to each other, albeit in a somewhat complex relationship. Although most of the features of subspace are still a mystery to us, we have observed a strong connection between it and gravitational fields. It doesn't necessarily mean that all of subspace requires the presence of gravity fields to allow travel, as ably demonstrated by interstellar jump nodes, but it shows how, at the very least, the roots of this phenomenon are connected to gravity.<br /> <br /> Since the very beginning of subspace exploitation, it has been noted that the amount of energy necessary for an intrasystem jump is proportional to the intensity of the gravitational field, and its distribution with respect to a given craft's route. For example, jumping towards the center of a star system requires less energy compared to a journey away from said center. The difference in terms of energy required is negligible for modern subspace drives, but it was a major factor in early experiments. It has also been proven that proximity to an interstellar jump node does not act as an auxiliary gravity source. Therefore, jump nodes do not affect the energy required for intrasystem jumps. <br /> <br /> Intersystem jumps follow very different rules. The energy required for such jumps is way beyond the capabilities of small spacecraft, and poses a challenge for even the largest ships. However, it is not proportional to the distance between two stable jump nodes. This leads one to assume, as described in greater detail in later chapters of this publication, that while intrasystem jumps are vastly affected by gravity, intersystem jumps are not. Instead, intersystem jumps rely on some kind of subspace ‘flow’, which, once entered, allows ships to pass through it with little effort beyond the energy expended from entering subspace. Gravity seems to play no role in this flow, as the gravitational field of connected star systems is negligible at best during travel.<br /> There's no influence from external gravity sources, either, because the subspace flow passes through interstellar space, whose density is low. Further in the publication, hypotheses and experiments showing the existence of a subspace flow will be shown...<br /> <br /> ===[April 13th, 2365] Excerpt from the book 'Tales of a Wounded Great War Pilot'===<br /> <br /> The Top-Brass maintained secrecy over the Iksura freighters and their huge cargo capacity for quite a while. The reason? Morale. It was bad enough they had to admit that the Shivans had us beat when it came to numbers, shields, weapons, hyperspace mastery and what not. Can you imagine how much worse it would have been if they had to admit that they trounced us in logistics, comms, sensors and Electronic Warfare too? That’s my hypothesis anyway. Could there be something else behind it as well? Who knows?<br /> <br /> One thing I can tell you for sure: facing them in combat was as frightening as facing a destroyer or similar warship. You're out there, in the void of space, pretending you are shooting at a sitting duck, except this sitting duck and its cargo are shooting back at you, and they are better armed, armored, and protected than one of our Fenris-class cruisers. Think about that, let it sink in, then add one important factor to the equation: a jamming field whose strength and range would prevent any sensor lock from being gained. No missile that required a lock could be launched against these... Doomtrains. None at all.<br /> <br /> It gets worse. That jamming field also scrambles your sensors, so your situational awareness turns to crud. It screws with your coms too, so you are cut off from your allies, their messages, their calls for help and so on. This cuts both ways of course, so you can’t call out to them for help either, and if your secondary banks run dry you can forget about calling in a support ship to rearm. This isolation was a powerful psychological weapon, at times more frightening than their turrets. <br /> <br /> We suspected the Doomtrains had a weakness however, and when we were finally able to put it to the test, we were proved right. Destroy any of the components in the train and it would trigger a chain reaction, destroying the components next to it. Kill the freighter itself and all ten of the SAC 4’s it was towing would go up in flames right along with it. Classic domino effect, beautiful. We were not sure why this would happen, but we guessed it was a self-destruct mechanism designed to prevent their tech from being captured by an enemy.<br /> <br /> The brass figured that only the most vital supplies and components would be carried by Iksuras. I know the brass were salivating over the chance to scan one of those things. Trust me, we tried, but against that jamming it simply wasn’t happening. Capturing one and opening it up for a look-see was off the table too due to the self-destruct mechanism. Whatever those things were carrying, the Shivans really didn’t want us getting our hands on it.<br /> <br /> Who would have thought such a strategic headache could stem from a mere freighter? Freighters were supposed to be easy prey - the targets rooks cut their teeth on while us veterans mixed it up with the fighters. Clearly, the Shivans didn’t get that memo, or they weren’t playing by the rules.<br /> <br /> Now think on this - what if the Iksuras were responsible for maintaining entire Shivan fleets with their mysterious cargo? That would make them second only to the Lucifer in terms of strategic importance. That's the lesson we learned at Ross 128.<br /> <br /> ===[August 5th, 2337] Classified transcript from the interrogation of a Hammer of Light fanatic===<br /> ''&quot;To what degree were you involved in the final efforts of the Alliance in countering the Shivans in Ross 128?&quot;''<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;I was deployed by my guru to investigate Shivan activity in the system.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> ''<br /> ''&quot;How was this activity carried out?&quot;''''<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;I was the pilot of a retrofitted Seshat scout fighter. I had enough supplies in my spacecraft to perform a reconnaissance mission lasting an entire month. I then staged my loss in a reconnaissance operation, self-destructed my craft, and provided my guru with the information he needed. One of our comrades picked me up and organized my transfer back to safe systems.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> ''&quot;What kind of information have you been able to provide, and by what means?&quot;''<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;We learned that the Destroyers, as per our prophecies, were not defeated. There was something else besides the Lucifer controlling them. It was replacing the Lucifer's lost command and control function. It then would have conquered Vasudan and Terran space, succeeding where the Lucifer had failed.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> ''&quot;I see. Continue...&quot;''<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;Those were testing times for our ideals, and our faith. The Hammer of Light seemed doomed, oblivion the only possible outcome. Millennia of prophecies were being disproved, or so thought those who’s faith was wavering. We, the truly faithful, knew better and our discovery proved our sacred prophecies correct. <br /> That truth had to be delivered back to our systems to stop the mass defections and suicides among Hammer of Light loyalists.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> ''&quot;Were you aware of other activities being carried out on the frontline?&quot;''<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;Yes, I know that some of our own loyalists were onboard the PVD Imhotep. Others were spread amongst the members of the battle group. Every single ship had some of our faithful onboard. Some of us managed to slow down joint Vasudan-Terran operations by performing surgical strikes and driving PVE and GTA strategists into chaos. They were ultimately fooled into attributing those failures to new Destroyer designs they hadn't yet encountered. That allowed us to go unnoticed for weeks.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> ''&quot;Describe one such act of sabotage to joint Vasudan-Terran operations.&quot;''<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;It happened days after the destruction of the Lucifer. Some of our loyalists were sent to Delta Serpentis to deal with a Cain cruiser which seemed unusually well guarded for a ship of its class. We believed it was the sign of something greater, and the moment we saw the Shivans using a previously unseen weapon, we realized it was time to become the messengers of a new truth. We haven't stopped ever since.&quot;<br /> <br /> ===[January 24th, 2368] Civilian Media Investigation Report &quot;Questions they won't let us answer about the Shivans&quot;===<br /> ''Aired on most public GTVA channels ''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> If we really want to get to the bottom of the problem, the reason behind all of the big unanswered questions, we have to go back to where everything started.<br /> <br /> If you're guessing what star we're showing right now, you're guessing right, it's Ross 128. Don't be fooled by this fiery glow coming from a red dwarf. The mysteries that lay in this system are far greater than previously thought.<br /> <br /> Some of you watching this episode are Capellan refugees, looking for a new place to call home. You might as well wonder what lies between the tragedy of your homeworlds' collapse and the source of the Shivan incursions in the Great War. To date, there are no clear - let alone official - explanations on how the Great War actually ended. There's the majestic, glorious end - that of the Lucifer - but there was an actual end to the war, the last encounter between a Shivan and a Terran or Vasudan ship.<br /> <br /> Details on this last encounter are unknown. We have no idea how it took place, we know it happened in this system, somewhere in the void of space, yet it led to the disappearance of the Shivans for over three decades. We still hear from scientists who believe the Shivans used interstellar jump drives capable of not relying on stable jump nodes, proving how such drives may theoretically be possible, but how accurate are these hypotheses?<br /> <br /> Furthermore, we believe that hiding the truth from honest GTVA citizens is an insult to the sacrifices committed by our loved ones in the past forty-five years of galactic conflict and challenging reconstruction efforts. We may be as resilient as phoenixes rising from ashes, but at what point do we accept the ignorance of the past, especially when said ignorance is driven by somebody? How can we possibly live our lives and even plan to reopen the Sol jump node using Knossos-derived technology, if we're so unsure about what's behind us?<br /> <br /> Should we even plan to go this far, knowing that, even if it is sealed from the rest of colonized space, Sol is - as far as we know and can extrapolate - a safe place?<br /> <br /> ===[November 14th, 2352] Memories of a veteran from the 53rd Hammerheads===<br /> ''Written on his personal diary, recovered by the heirs after his death, on September 18th, 2388''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Shortly after our final victory over the Lucifer, I felt relieved about the possibility of not facing the Shivans ever again. This feeling has changed over the years, of course, effectively turning me into what I am right now. I am now obsessed, puzzled by what I, for a long time, believed was but a memory of the past. It now chases me, over and over, even in my dreams. I seem to be the only person around here who spends most of the day thinking about what lies beyond the sealed jump node.<br /> <br /> The victory over such an enemy came at a price going far beyond the meaning of what we learned from past history, when it comes to conflicts. There was a military victory, at least a local one, and that was the moment the Lucifer fell to our attack aimed at its multiple reactors. But a seal was imposed, and one system had to be cut off from the others, dismantling decades of space colonization in fractions of a second. That was the ultimate cost of our victory.<br /> <br /> We have no idea about the evolution of the conflict on the other side of the node. There are many possibilities, all driven by questions I will never be able to answer, as no one probably will for many years to come. I do wonder, however, if the war for survival on the other side had a similar ending to what happened here, in the form of a second, maybe a third or fourth, sealing of a system from the cosmic net of subspace flow.<br /> <br /> Is this the lesson learnt from the Destroyers? Disappear into the oblivion of endless space, with your species going extinct, or merely slow down the process by self isolating? Is isolation the final solution over a galactic conflict with an enemy that won't come for your resources, instead overwhelms you with technology and numbers, then aims to cancel your entire civilization with no trace whatsoever of a contact, a will for peace?<br /> <br /> Are the survivors on the other side, providing that they're still alive, in a chasing marathon with destiny, a fight for survival where cutting the branches of a colossal tree is the only way to preserve life?<br /> <br /> ==[[The Spirit of Ptah]]==<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] First excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> One thing that may be more due to common stereotypes than actual proof and evidence of their actions, is their supposed tendency to give individual lives less of a value compared to us. Suicides, kamikaze attempts and possibly brave actions with no consideration of the possible consequences, all seem to be more frequent in Vasudan culture compared to our own tendencies. An equal stereotype from their end sees us as greedy and unable to work together for a common, greater goal, as we are doomed to let our individual interests overcome it.<br /> <br /> The ongoing war with this alien species leads us - if we want to analyze their culture objectively - to view their behaviors in combat separately from what they do in civilian life. From what we understand, Vasudans with roles and responsibilities have enormous psychological pressure, regardless of their skills. They're meritocratic, in the sense that they seem to ignore all internal differences with respect to social rank, thus allowing the most skilled and talented of them to have notable careers in the context of their respective castes, and only the highest of ranks are predominantly driven by inheritance.<br /> <br /> Vasudans with specific roles in politics and the academic world take this pressure very, very seriously. Governors failing to achieve specific pre-set objectives of their political mandates may oftentimes end their careers in dishonored retirement, or even commit suicide. Lecturers and researchers whose works are proven to be weak or wrong under strict checks within their communities may also end their careers so abruptly. All of this happens in our own culture, too, but more rarely, thereby leading to rigid stereotypes on both sides.<br /> <br /> While, from the Vasudans' perspective, all of this may be an interpretation of death as a necessary means to obtain honor and fulfill some particular goal, this can be actually interpreted as their way to adore life and what it offers.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Second excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> A lot has been written and said about the Vasudan language and its countless dialects, with stereotypes indicating such forms of expressions as absurdly complicated, as words may change - even radically so - depending on social rank, the distance to Vasuda Prime, the underlying circumstances of the conversation and myriad other factors.<br /> <br /> This extra complexity, which adds to the overall complexity of the many thousands of dialects spoken by the Vasudans, may seem difficult to understand and justify by trying to relate it to modern Terran languages. It's commonly interpreted, in fact, as yet another sign of ritualism and superstition injected by the Vasudans into virtually any endeavor in their lives, with the language being just one of the many examples supporting this thesis. As most linguists will agree, however, it doesn't differ that much from what our own languages have been based on in the past few millennia. While the overall complexity of these variations wasn't comparable to that of Vasudan languages, we have many notable examples in our own history proving that, unlike what the stereotypes seem to indicate, adding complexity to text and conversations is not a purely Vasudan tendency.<br /> <br /> To be more specific, in Terran history, with only a few exceptions still persisting today, languages and dialects have taken into account contexts that would cause them to be difficult to understand under modern circumstances. One such factor was social rank, with differences depending on who was talking and who said person was talking to. All known examples were constrained by the fact that they were spoken by natives with extremely limited technological capabilities, as they obviously weren't space faring populations, but the fundamentals we extrapolate from archeological findings point to an apparent convergence.<br /> <br /> Who knows with any certainty? Perhaps, had Terran history proceeded differently, we would be speaking with that same extra reverential complexity that the Vasudan language is built upon.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Third excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> Vasuda Prime, the fourth planet of the Vasuda system, is the homeworld of this species at war with us. Unlike we Terrans, who managed to establish colonies on many planets and satellites of Sol, the Vasudans had to face a much greater challenge, as Vasuda Prime is the only major celestial body compatible with exploitable colonization in that system, so they've relied a lot on jump nodes to found new colonies in nearby systems. The discovery of subspace, in fact, was demonstrably much more of a blessing to the Vasudans than it was for us, and this is mostly due to Sol's peculiarities. We don't have the same need to expand our hegemony to other systems. This is one of the reasons why many suspect that the war was doomed to start regardless of the outcome of the two species’ first contacts, though this is still open to debate.<br /> <br /> The planet is a rather tough environment, and many question how the Vasudans evolved and developed in such a scenario. Its landmass is divided into two major supercontinents which underwent a rifting event only a few million years ago, and are still moving apart from each other. The current geodynamic setting of Vasuda is similar, although far from equal, to that seen on Earth between the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras. Much like with Earth over 250 million years ago, the formation of a single supercontinent - Pangaea, in our case - may lead to radical changes in the environments, with the expansion of deserts in the inner regions resulting in planetwide mass extinctions. Vasuda Prime hosted a colossal desert prior to the rifting event, caused by the collision of smaller continents, and even now, as the two major supercontinents are diverging, the surface is still mostly dominated by deserts. The Vasudans are believed to have evolved in coastal regions of the southern supercontinent, whose climate was more temperate, though still challenging. These geodynamical settings and the timing of past continental collisions have allowed Vasuda Prime to host hydrocarbon reserves at least one order of magnitude larger than those on Earth, and the exploitation of such reserves at the right stage of Vasudan history has allowed the technological boost that ultimately led them to become a space-faring species.<br /> <br /> Unlike Terrans, who have developed more on the technology branch than on an evolutionary scale in the past few thousand years, the Vasudans appear to have experienced an anomalous change a few millennia ago, the origin of which is still debated.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Fourth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> The most puzzling and contradictory perception of the Vasudans is the one that sees them as soldiers who would blindly follow any kind of order given by their general. The reality couldn't be any more different than this perception, supported by fragmented and anecdotal evidence.<br /> <br /> Though their respect towards authorities is unquestionable, applying to many endeavors beyond warfare, each Vasudan is asked to be judgmental and follow precise customs and courtesies to let someone with a higher rank know that they disagree about a choice. This occurrence is rare, but whenever it happens, it exposes a new facet of Vasudan culture and a way to interpret the formalities of authority in a more pragmatic manner. There are limited circumstances where any Vasudan could object to an extremely highly ranked member of their military or Parliament, and do so in a way that would seem absurd to us Terrans. Even in the greatest democracies of our past, the interaction between simple citizens or soldiers and their rules has always had some sort of filter, and our modern era is no exception, despite the GTA's status as a stable and solid democracy.<br /> <br /> Where does the difference lie, then? How come a supposed stricter respect of higher authorities also accounts for interactions between Vasudans whose ranks are vastly different? Some interpret this as a legacy of past times, when the lack of technology allowed more direct interactions between Vasudans of different ranks, though strictly regulated by precise rituals. According to a different interpretation, this may be due to one specific and ancient ritual of Vasudan culture, which used to be very common in small villages with one or two leaders. This inherited tradition expects each Vasudan, at least once in a lifetime, to perform a ritual conversation with a person of a much higher rank, and discuss particular subjects which are determined by respective ranks. The date and content of the conversation would then be a solid part of one's achievements, in a way that would resemble a Terran diploma. Ancient Vasudan tombs have been confirmed to have inscriptions related to this ritual.<br /> <br /> The truth may be within a combination of these two interpretations, which both differ quite a lot from what we've experienced in our own history. Imagine one of our ancestors getting the chance to talk to a king or ruler, and imagine the tomb having an inscription about that conversation as if it were a remarkable achievement, something that heirs would talk about for decades.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Fifth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> As a space faring species, could the Vasudans see the light of technological advance being darkened and shrouded by a veil of superstition? It appears that they potentially could. The Vasudans, regardless of their rank, take ancient texts and lessons from the past very seriously. Their concept of the past itself deserves its own explanation, as it constitutes a key to understanding this phenomenon.<br /> <br /> The main point here is that the words we use to describe these sources of knowledge for the Vasudan people diverge quite a bit from their actual meaning, as seen from their perspective. We talk about Vasudan mythology and prophecies, and by using these words, we carry on implications that don't match the real values of these from their perspective. In Earth's history, a mythology was essentially the religion of a defunct civilization, while a prophecy is something tied to supernatural powers, and therefore very weak once analyzed with reason in mind. This is absolutely not what Vasudan 'mythology' and 'prophecies' are about; both of them, while still vague in their words and open to dozens of different interpretations, are tied to reality in a way far greater than most ancient texts and inscriptions in Terran history.<br /> <br /> The paradox is that we've been influenced more by religion and superstition than the Vasudans have been, yet we took separate paths that ultimately led to our situation being reversed. Our own mythologies referred to hypothetical creatures and stories, while Vasudan 'mythologies' combined supernatural elements with primitive science, in an effort to explain natural phenomena and the intrinsic fundamentals of nature. How could this happen, how come we've ended up pretending to be the rational individuals, unlike our superstitious counterparts?<br /> <br /> Once again, it's a subject with multiple hypotheses and no clear explanations or answers can be given. Researchers, however, point to the Vasudans' religious and political stability over millennia as the main reason behind this difference. While incredibly varied on their own, Vasudan cultures share a common root dating back to millennia ago, and this may have allowed tales and scripts to be carried over hundreds of generations with no changes whatsoever to their influence. It's not the case for ancient Terran cultures, which were geographically constrained and have undergone radical changes on the scale of decades, not millennia. It goes without saying that, as the social and religious momentum in their society is maintained, ancient texts acquire more and more importance thanks to their age.<br /> <br /> This view, however, is not shared by many researchers who still see superstition as the source of these Vasudan behaviors.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Sixth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> Regardless of the Galactic Terran Alliance's monitoring of all texts and publications concerning the Vasudans, overwhelming evidence about their Parliament being seriously corrupted is hardly debatable. Such corruption is widespread and affects the lives of the Vasudan people in ways that, if hypothetically applied to the GTA itself, could fit the description of a not-so-benevolent dictatorship.<br /> <br /> Corruption has been confirmed to have characterized the Parliament for a significant portion of its history, though sudden increases have been experienced - based on the information that we have - following the colonization of nearby systems. As reported before in this manuscript, the Vasudans are more dependent on space colonization than we are, and it's no secret that something as critically important as the discovery of subspace would have tremendous implications. Early Vasudan subspace travel was severely regulated and inaccessible to most, and the Parliament worked hard to maintain the economic balances of such a great discovery. Space colonization has increased corruption within the Parliament as a tool to control the flow of resources and the consequent influence of those responsible for the harvesting of said resources. The war made things even worse, as military elites put pressure on a number of political debates for things that seem more strictly related to their attempt to gain more influence than actually make decisions relevant to the war effort. Despite all of these major drawbacks, the Parliament as a political infrastructure performs its job, and we have learned more than once that its corruption isn't always a sign of weakness. The background noise caused by deep conflicts of interest does not prevent this entity from ruling over the Vasudan Empire and responding to actions taken by the GTA.<br /> <br /> If we were to analyze the true potential of this phenomenon, we'd temporarily have to disregard the current political setting of the PVE. The current situation is atypical, as a war with another species undoubtedly makes certain interests fall to the wayside in favor of the struggle for survival, but what would happen in a different scenario? If anything, we estimate that the influence of certain elements within the Parliament may be so high that they could secretly divert resources, workforce and combatants to their own factions, if they wanted to. The institution is structured in a way that would allow a parallel fleet to the PVN to be formed and grown, albeit under specific circumstances.<br /> <br /> [[Category: Series Resurrecta]]</div>

At that point, most of you weren't even born yet, and those among you who were would have been infants still learning how to walk and talk.<br /> <br /> People like me ''do'' remember that unique sense of terror. We were coming out of fourteen long years of conventional conflict with another species. The odds of two species encountering each other in space, let alone fighting each other, were so miniscule we couldn't even calculate them.<br /> <br /> Then the Shivans appeared. They redefined the concepts of threat, destruction, invasion and survival. They taught us what these words really meant, and made us realize that what counted as conquering a star system, or winning a war with another species, are both intrinsically dependent on who's the winner. A winner like the Shivans won't just achieve space superiority. It will also wipe all life and civilization from a planet, just as it did with Vasuda Prime.<br /> <br /> The sudden discovery of yet another species, the Ancients, allowed us to prevent Earth's fall to such a fate. <br /> <br /> Earth, a homeworld you have never visited, yet perceive as something important but only remotely tied to your life.<br /> <br /> The past is a key factor in shaping the future. Knowledge of the past will help the GTVA regain and maintain its glory. Some of you may have already heard the term 'The Lost Generation.' It is increasingly used as a way to describe those like you who have never been to Sol. Worry not, for you are not Lost. You will lead the future of humanity, which no longer needs its homeworld to survive and prosper.<br /> <br /> Let the new homeworld, our 'Neo Terra' of sorts, be everywhere you'll be calling home in the days, months, and years to come.<br /> <br /> ===[September 2nd, 2341] Report of Akheton Corporation Delegation to the Imperial Palace===<br /> For the attention of Emperor Khonsu II:<br /> <br /> It is with great honor and pleasure that we introduce the finalized report and digital model of Project Sobek. The tenth annex of this confidential document is focused on the possibility of implementing beam weapon technology in this design.<br /> <br /> As you are already aware, the concept of this design is based on declassified reports of the SCv Moloch, a 'corvette' class of warship encountered in the late stages of the Great War. <br /> <br /> At first erroneously interpreted as a large cruiser, the Moloch was something else. The Moloch is an intermediate class combining the speed and flexibility of cruisers with the firepower and endurance of destroyers. We have designated this new class ‘corvette’.<br /> <br /> It proved to be so versatile that joint teams of Vasudan and Terran engineers analyzed all available reports on the few ships of this class that had been encountered. Subsequently the concept of the corvette class was introduced to strategists.<br /> <br /> Unlike the Shivan design we based our work on, what will likely become the GVC-V Sobek lacks a fighter bay. Our reports and tests proved that the inclusion of a fighter bay would significantly decrease the hull integrity of the warship without adding any tactical capabilities other than hosting a wing of small-to-medium fighters.<br /> <br /> Compared to the Moloch, however, the Sobek’s firepower is considerably greater and the sleek design is expected to make the Sobek more efficient in combat, both in attack and defense. This is a similar result to that of the Terran Deimos, which is also expected to be manufactured very soon. We believe the Sobek will fulfil a number of roles the Deimos may be too logistically complex to perform.<br /> <br /> Both ships will be vital for the future of Vasudan and Terran fleets. In our effort to renew our fleets, the Sobek will be the key to efficiencies in strategies, logistics and combat. Under the right conditions, as tested in the attached war simulations, two ships of this class can compete directly with any known destroyer and come out victorious.<br /> <br /> The final production phase awaits Your approval, Emperor.<br /> <br /> ===[March 5th, 2335] Epitaph in a devastated Ancient settlement in Altair IV===<br /> ''Discovered by Vasudan survivors from the Vasuda Prime massacre.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> &quot;A lone survivor joined us two Glorious Homeworld cycles ago, the only survivor from an entire colony of our people to escape from a devastated system. It was truly a miracle.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It was so unbelievable at first that, for a moment, we thought it was bait, a way for the Destroyers to expose our settlement of survivors and make its location known. It ultimately turned out to be a genuine spacecraft of our race, coming from several beloved star systems distant.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The survivor piloting it was severely wounded, but we managed to provide basic cures. Among the data and archives carried in the approaching emergency spacecraft were testimonies of a prosperity long gone. We also discovered how the Destroyers employed [Trains of Doom] in that system, as well as in the neighbouring systems of our once mighty empire. These massive convoys of ‘Trains of Doom’ were difficult to detect and monitor. Days after their disappearance, they would be followed by large Destroyer armadas, attacking our people from flanks and even from behind, in systems one or two [Subspace] jumps away from the frontlines.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The reports from our people in that colony provided us with significant intelligence. They had learned that in many systems the Destroyers had hidden away fleets capable of staying in stasis for millennia, before their reactivation by a Train of Doom. Once reactivated, the fleets would join their main force and eliminate whatever trace of our once beautiful civilization they detected.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;These same awakened fleets were seen employing a bombing tactic never seen before in the invasion, a weapon of terror that could use subspace to... [indecipherable due to excessive superficial damage.]&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The survivor, messenger of a doomed branch of our fallen Empire, ultimately passed away from a disease we were no longer able to cure with what little we now have. Its treatment would have needed mere minutes in our old, great epochs of prosperity and glory. If anything, the pilot was lucky. Unlike us, he will not have to live through the last few remaining days of existence, eye witnessing our complete extinction not only as a civilization, but as a species.&quot;<br /> <br /> ===[February 18th, 2320] Excerpt from &quot;An introduction to subspace, the great physical wonder&quot;===<br /> Subspace and gravity appear to be connected to each other, albeit in a somewhat complex relationship. Although most of the features of subspace are still a mystery to us, we have observed a strong connection between it and gravitational fields. It doesn't necessarily mean that all of subspace requires the presence of gravity fields to allow travel, as ably demonstrated by interstellar jump nodes, but it shows how, at the very least, the roots of this phenomenon are connected to gravity.<br /> <br /> Since the very beginning of subspace exploitation, it has been noted that the amount of energy necessary for an intrasystem jump is proportional to the intensity of the gravitational field, and its distribution with respect to a given craft's route. For example, jumping towards the center of a star system requires less energy compared to a journey away from said center. The difference in terms of energy required is negligible for modern subspace drives, but it was a major factor in early experiments. It has also been proven that proximity to an interstellar jump node does not act as an auxiliary gravity source. Therefore, jump nodes do not affect the energy required for intrasystem jumps. <br /> <br /> Intersystem jumps follow very different rules. The energy required for such jumps is way beyond the capabilities of small spacecraft, and poses a challenge for even the largest ships. However, it is not proportional to the distance between two stable jump nodes. This leads one to assume, as described in greater detail in later chapters of this publication, that while intrasystem jumps are vastly affected by gravity, intersystem jumps are not. Instead, intersystem jumps rely on some kind of subspace ‘flow’, which, once entered, allows ships to pass through it with little effort beyond the energy expended from entering subspace. Gravity seems to play no role in this flow, as the gravitational field of connected star systems is negligible at best during travel.<br /> There's no influence from external gravity sources, either, because the subspace flow passes through interstellar space, whose density is low. Further in the publication, hypotheses and experiments showing the existence of a subspace flow will be shown...<br /> <br /> ===[April 13th, 2365] Excerpt from the book 'Tales of a Wounded Great War Pilot'===<br /> <br /> The Top-Brass maintained secrecy over the Iksura freighters and their huge cargo capacity for quite a while. The reason? Morale. It was bad enough they had to admit that the Shivans had us beat when it came to numbers, shields, weapons, hyperspace mastery and what not. Can you imagine how much worse it would have been if they had to admit that they trounced us in logistics, comms, sensors and Electronic Warfare too? That’s my hypothesis anyway. Could there be something else behind it as well? Who knows?<br /> <br /> One thing I can tell you for sure: facing them in combat was as frightening as facing a destroyer or similar warship. You're out there, in the void of space, pretending you are shooting at a sitting duck, except this sitting duck and its cargo are shooting back at you, and they are better armed, armored, and protected than one of our Fenris-class cruisers. Think about that, let it sink in, then add one important factor to the equation: a jamming field whose strength and range would prevent any sensor lock from being gained. No missile that required a lock could be launched against these... Doomtrains. None at all.<br /> <br /> It gets worse. That jamming field also scrambles your sensors, so your situational awareness turns to crud. It screws with your coms too, so you are cut off from your allies, their messages, their calls for help and so on. This cuts both ways of course, so you can’t call out to them for help either, and if your secondary banks run dry you can forget about calling in a support ship to rearm. This isolation was a powerful psychological weapon, at times more frightening than their turrets. <br /> <br /> We suspected the Doomtrains had a weakness however, and when we were finally able to put it to the test, we were proved right. Destroy any of the components in the train and it would trigger a chain reaction, destroying the components next to it. Kill the freighter itself and all ten of the SAC 4’s it was towing would go up in flames right along with it. Classic domino effect, beautiful. We were not sure why this would happen, but we guessed it was a self-destruct mechanism designed to prevent their tech from being captured by an enemy.<br /> <br /> The brass figured that only the most vital supplies and components would be carried by Iksuras. I know the brass were salivating over the chance to scan one of those things. Trust me, we tried, but against that jamming it simply wasn’t happening. Capturing one and opening it up for a look-see was off the table too due to the self-destruct mechanism. Whatever those things were carrying, the Shivans really didn’t want us getting our hands on it.<br /> <br /> Who would have thought such a strategic headache could stem from a mere freighter? Freighters were supposed to be easy prey - the targets rooks cut their teeth on while us veterans mixed it up with the fighters. Clearly, the Shivans didn’t get that memo, or they weren’t playing by the rules.<br /> <br /> Now think on this - what if the Iksuras were responsible for maintaining entire Shivan fleets with their mysterious cargo? That would make them second only to the Lucifer in terms of strategic importance. That's the lesson we learned at Ross 128.<br /> <br /> ===[August 5th, 2337] Classified transcript from the interrogation of a Hammer of Light fanatic===<br /> &quot;To what degree were you involved in the final efforts of the Alliance in countering the Shivans in Ross 128?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I was deployed by my guru to investigate Shivan activity in the system.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;How was this activity carried out?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I was the pilot of a retrofitted Seshat scout fighter. I had enough supplies in my spacecraft to perform a reconnaissance mission lasting an entire month. I then staged my loss in a reconnaissance operation, self destructed my craft, and provided my guru with the information he needed. One of our comrades picked me up and organized my transfer back to safe systems.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;What kind of information have you been able to provide, and by what means?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We learned that the Destroyers, as per our prophecies, were not defeated. There was something else besides the Lucifer controlling them. It was simply replacing the Lucifer's lost control. It then would have conquered Vasudan and Terran space, succeeding where the Lucifer finally failed.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I see. Continue...&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Those were rough times for our ideals. We seemed doomed, oblivion the only possible outcome. Millennia of prophecies almost seemed like painful illusions, yet the truth was even greater than our expectations. That truth had to be delivered back to our systems and stop the mass defections and suicides among Hammer of Light loyalists.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Were you aware of other activities being carried out in the frontline?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Yes, I know that some of our own loyalists were onboard the PVD Imhotep. Others were spread amongst the members of the battle group. Every single ship had some of our faithful onboard. Some of us managed to slow down joint Vasudan-Terran operations, performing surgical strikes and driving PVE and GTA strategists into chaos. They were ultimately fooled into linking those failures to new Destroyer designs we hadn't seen before in the conflict. That allowed us to go unnoticed for weeks.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Describe one such act of sabotage to joint Vasudan-Terran operations.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It happened days after the destruction of the Lucifer. Some of our loyalists were sent to deal with a Cain cruiser, in Delta Serpentis, which seemed very well guarded for a ship of its class. We believed it was the sign of something greater, and the moment we saw the Shivans using a previously unseen weapon, we realized it was time to become messengers of a new truth. We haven't stopped ever since.&quot;<br /> <br /> ===[January 24th, 2368] Civilian Media Investigation Report &quot;Questions they won't let us answer about the Shivans&quot;===<br /> ''Aired on most public GTVA channels ''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> If we really want to get to the bottom of the problem, the reason behind all of the big unanswered questions, we have to go back to where everything started.<br /> <br /> If you're guessing what star we're showing right now, you're guessing right, it's Ross 128. Don't be fooled by this fiery glow coming from a red dwarf. The mysteries that lay in this system are far greater than previously thought.<br /> <br /> Some of you watching this episode are Capellan refugees, looking for a new place to call home. You might as well wonder what lies between the tragedy of your homeworlds' collapse and the source of the Shivan incursions in the Great War. To date, there are no clear - let alone official - explanations on how the Great War actually ended. There's the majestic, glorious end - that of the Lucifer - but there was an actual end to the war, the last encounter between a Shivan and a Terran or Vasudan ship.<br /> <br /> Details on this last encounter are unknown. We have no idea how it took place, we know it happened in this system, somewhere in the void of space, yet it led to the disappearance of the Shivans for over three decades. We still hear from scientists who believe the Shivans used interstellar jump drives capable of not relying on stable jump nodes, proving how such drives may theoretically be possible, but how accurate are these hypotheses?<br /> <br /> Furthermore, we believe that hiding the truth from honest GTVA citizens is an insult to the sacrifices committed by our loved ones in the past forty-five years of galactic conflict and challenging reconstruction efforts. We may be as resilient as phoenixes rising from ashes, but at what point do we accept the ignorance of the past, especially when said ignorance is driven by somebody? How can we possibly live our lives and even plan to reopen the Sol jump node using Knossos-derived technology, if we're so unsure about what's behind us?<br /> <br /> Should we even plan to go this far, knowing that, even if it is sealed from the rest of colonized space, Sol is - as far as we know and can extrapolate - a safe place?<br /> <br /> ===[November 14th, 2352] Memories of a veteran from the 53rd Hammerheads===<br /> ''Written on his personal diary, recovered by the heirs after his death, on September 18th, 2388''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Shortly after our final victory over the Lucifer, I felt relieved about the possibility of not facing the Shivans ever again. This feeling has changed over the years, of course, effectively turning me into what I am right now. I am now obsessed, puzzled by what I, for a long time, believed was but a memory of the past. It now chases me, over and over, even in my dreams. I seem to be the only person around here who spends most of the day thinking about what lies beyond the sealed jump node.<br /> <br /> The victory over such an enemy came at a price going far beyond the meaning of what we learned from past history, when it comes to conflicts. There was a military victory, at least a local one, and that was the moment the Lucifer fell to our attack aimed at its multiple reactors. But a seal was imposed, and one system had to be cut off from the others, dismantling decades of space colonization in fractions of a second. That was the ultimate cost of our victory.<br /> <br /> We have no idea about the evolution of the conflict on the other side of the node. There are many possibilities, all driven by questions I will never be able to answer, as no one probably will for many years to come. I do wonder, however, if the war for survival on the other side had a similar ending to what happened here, in the form of a second, maybe a third or fourth, sealing of a system from the cosmic net of subspace flow.<br /> <br /> Is this the lesson learnt from the Destroyers? Disappear into the oblivion of endless space, with your species going extinct, or merely slow down the process by self isolating? Is isolation the final solution over a galactic conflict with an enemy that won't come for your resources, instead overwhelms you with technology and numbers, then aims to cancel your entire civilization with no trace whatsoever of a contact, a will for peace?<br /> <br /> Are the survivors on the other side, providing that they're still alive, in a chasing marathon with destiny, a fight for survival where cutting the branches of a colossal tree is the only way to preserve life?<br /> <br /> ==[[The Spirit of Ptah]]==<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] First excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> One thing that may be more due to common stereotypes than actual proof and evidence of their actions, is their supposed tendency to give individual lives less of a value compared to us. Suicides, kamikaze attempts and possibly brave actions with no consideration of the possible consequences, all seem to be more frequent in Vasudan culture compared to our own tendencies. An equal stereotype from their end sees us as greedy and unable to work together for a common, greater goal, as we are doomed to let our individual interests overcome it.<br /> <br /> The ongoing war with this alien species leads us - if we want to analyze their culture objectively - to view their behaviors in combat separately from what they do in civilian life. From what we understand, Vasudans with roles and responsibilities have enormous psychological pressure, regardless of their skills. They're meritocratic, in the sense that they seem to ignore all internal differences with respect to social rank, thus allowing the most skilled and talented of them to have notable careers in the context of their respective castes, and only the highest of ranks are predominantly driven by inheritance.<br /> <br /> Vasudans with specific roles in politics and the academic world take this pressure very, very seriously. Governors failing to achieve specific pre-set objectives of their political mandates may oftentimes end their careers in dishonored retirement, or even commit suicide. Lecturers and researchers whose works are proven to be weak or wrong under strict checks within their communities may also end their careers so abruptly. All of this happens in our own culture, too, but more rarely, thereby leading to rigid stereotypes on both sides.<br /> <br /> While, from the Vasudans' perspective, all of this may be an interpretation of death as a necessary means to obtain honor and fulfill some particular goal, this can be actually interpreted as their way to adore life and what it offers.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Second excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> A lot has been written and said about the Vasudan language and its countless dialects, with stereotypes indicating such forms of expressions as absurdly complicated, as words may change - even radically so - depending on social rank, the distance to Vasuda Prime, the underlying circumstances of the conversation and myriad other factors.<br /> <br /> This extra complexity, which adds to the overall complexity of the many thousands of dialects spoken by the Vasudans, may seem difficult to understand and justify by trying to relate it to modern Terran languages. It's commonly interpreted, in fact, as yet another sign of ritualism and superstition injected by the Vasudans into virtually any endeavor in their lives, with the language being just one of the many examples supporting this thesis. As most linguists will agree, however, it doesn't differ that much from what our own languages have been based on in the past few millennia. While the overall complexity of these variations wasn't comparable to that of Vasudan languages, we have many notable examples in our own history proving that, unlike what the stereotypes seem to indicate, adding complexity to text and conversations is not a purely Vasudan tendency.<br /> <br /> To be more specific, in Terran history, with only a few exceptions still persisting today, languages and dialects have taken into account contexts that would cause them to be difficult to understand under modern circumstances. One such factor was social rank, with differences depending on who was talking and who said person was talking to. All known examples were constrained by the fact that they were spoken by natives with extremely limited technological capabilities, as they obviously weren't space faring populations, but the fundamentals we extrapolate from archeological findings point to an apparent convergence.<br /> <br /> Who knows with any certainty? Perhaps, had Terran history proceeded differently, we would be speaking with that same extra reverential complexity that the Vasudan language is built upon.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Third excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> Vasuda Prime, the fourth planet of the Vasuda system, is the homeworld of this species at war with us. Unlike we Terrans, who managed to establish colonies on many planets and satellites of Sol, the Vasudans had to face a much greater challenge, as Vasuda Prime is the only major celestial body compatible with exploitable colonization in that system, so they've relied a lot on jump nodes to found new colonies in nearby systems. The discovery of subspace, in fact, was demonstrably much more of a blessing to the Vasudans than it was for us, and this is mostly due to Sol's peculiarities. We don't have the same need to expand our hegemony to other systems. This is one of the reasons why many suspect that the war was doomed to start regardless of the outcome of the two species’ first contacts, though this is still open to debate.<br /> <br /> The planet is a rather tough environment, and many question how the Vasudans evolved and developed in such a scenario. Its landmass is divided into two major supercontinents which underwent a rifting event only a few million years ago, and are still moving apart from each other. The current geodynamic setting of Vasuda is similar, although far from equal, to that seen on Earth between the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras. Much like with Earth over 250 million years ago, the formation of a single supercontinent - Pangaea, in our case - may lead to radical changes in the environments, with the expansion of deserts in the inner regions resulting in planetwide mass extinctions. Vasuda Prime hosted a colossal desert prior to the rifting event, caused by the collision of smaller continents, and even now, as the two major supercontinents are diverging, the surface is still mostly dominated by deserts. The Vasudans are believed to have evolved in coastal regions of the southern supercontinent, whose climate was more temperate, though still challenging. These geodynamical settings and the timing of past continental collisions have allowed Vasuda Prime to host hydrocarbon reserves at least one order of magnitude larger than those on Earth, and the exploitation of such reserves at the right stage of Vasudan history has allowed the technological boost that ultimately led them to become a space-faring species.<br /> <br /> Unlike Terrans, who have developed more on the technology branch than on an evolutionary scale in the past few thousand years, the Vasudans appear to have experienced an anomalous change a few millennia ago, the origin of which is still debated.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Fourth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> The most puzzling and contradictory perception of the Vasudans is the one that sees them as soldiers who would blindly follow any kind of order given by their general. The reality couldn't be any more different than this perception, supported by fragmented and anecdotal evidence.<br /> <br /> Though their respect towards authorities is unquestionable, applying to many endeavors beyond warfare, each Vasudan is asked to be judgmental and follow precise customs and courtesies to let someone with a higher rank know that they disagree about a choice. This occurrence is rare, but whenever it happens, it exposes a new facet of Vasudan culture and a way to interpret the formalities of authority in a more pragmatic manner. There are limited circumstances where any Vasudan could object to an extremely highly ranked member of their military or Parliament, and do so in a way that would seem absurd to us Terrans. Even in the greatest democracies of our past, the interaction between simple citizens or soldiers and their rules has always had some sort of filter, and our modern era is no exception, despite the GTA's status as a stable and solid democracy.<br /> <br /> Where does the difference lie, then? How come a supposed stricter respect of higher authorities also accounts for interactions between Vasudans whose ranks are vastly different? Some interpret this as a legacy of past times, when the lack of technology allowed more direct interactions between Vasudans of different ranks, though strictly regulated by precise rituals. According to a different interpretation, this may be due to one specific and ancient ritual of Vasudan culture, which used to be very common in small villages with one or two leaders. This inherited tradition expects each Vasudan, at least once in a lifetime, to perform a ritual conversation with a person of a much higher rank, and discuss particular subjects which are determined by respective ranks. The date and content of the conversation would then be a solid part of one's achievements, in a way that would resemble a Terran diploma. Ancient Vasudan tombs have been confirmed to have inscriptions related to this ritual.<br /> <br /> The truth may be within a combination of these two interpretations, which both differ quite a lot from what we've experienced in our own history. Imagine one of our ancestors getting the chance to talk to a king or ruler, and imagine the tomb having an inscription about that conversation as if it were a remarkable achievement, something that heirs would talk about for decades.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Fifth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> As a space faring species, could the Vasudans see the light of technological advance being darkened and shrouded by a veil of superstition? It appears that they potentially could. The Vasudans, regardless of their rank, take ancient texts and lessons from the past very seriously. Their concept of the past itself deserves its own explanation, as it constitutes a key to understanding this phenomenon.<br /> <br /> The main point here is that the words we use to describe these sources of knowledge for the Vasudan people diverge quite a bit from their actual meaning, as seen from their perspective. We talk about Vasudan mythology and prophecies, and by using these words, we carry on implications that don't match the real values of these from their perspective. In Earth's history, a mythology was essentially the religion of a defunct civilization, while a prophecy is something tied to supernatural powers, and therefore very weak once analyzed with reason in mind. This is absolutely not what Vasudan 'mythology' and 'prophecies' are about; both of them, while still vague in their words and open to dozens of different interpretations, are tied to reality in a way far greater than most ancient texts and inscriptions in Terran history.<br /> <br /> The paradox is that we've been influenced more by religion and superstition than the Vasudans have been, yet we took separate paths that ultimately led to our situation being reversed. Our own mythologies referred to hypothetical creatures and stories, while Vasudan 'mythologies' combined supernatural elements with primitive science, in an effort to explain natural phenomena and the intrinsic fundamentals of nature. How could this happen, how come we've ended up pretending to be the rational individuals, unlike our superstitious counterparts?<br /> <br /> Once again, it's a subject with multiple hypotheses and no clear explanations or answers can be given. Researchers, however, point to the Vasudans' religious and political stability over millennia as the main reason behind this difference. While incredibly varied on their own, Vasudan cultures share a common root dating back to millennia ago, and this may have allowed tales and scripts to be carried over hundreds of generations with no changes whatsoever to their influence. It's not the case for ancient Terran cultures, which were geographically constrained and have undergone radical changes on the scale of decades, not millennia. It goes without saying that, as the social and religious momentum in their society is maintained, ancient texts acquire more and more importance thanks to their age.<br /> <br /> This view, however, is not shared by many researchers who still see superstition as the source of these Vasudan behaviors.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Sixth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> Regardless of the Galactic Terran Alliance's monitoring of all texts and publications concerning the Vasudans, overwhelming evidence about their Parliament being seriously corrupted is hardly debatable. Such corruption is widespread and affects the lives of the Vasudan people in ways that, if hypothetically applied to the GTA itself, could fit the description of a not-so-benevolent dictatorship.<br /> <br /> Corruption has been confirmed to have characterized the Parliament for a significant portion of its history, though sudden increases have been experienced - based on the information that we have - following the colonization of nearby systems. As reported before in this manuscript, the Vasudans are more dependent on space colonization than we are, and it's no secret that something as critically important as the discovery of subspace would have tremendous implications. Early Vasudan subspace travel was severely regulated and inaccessible to most, and the Parliament worked hard to maintain the economic balances of such a great discovery. Space colonization has increased corruption within the Parliament as a tool to control the flow of resources and the consequent influence of those responsible for the harvesting of said resources. The war made things even worse, as military elites put pressure on a number of political debates for things that seem more strictly related to their attempt to gain more influence than actually make decisions relevant to the war effort. Despite all of these major drawbacks, the Parliament as a political infrastructure performs its job, and we have learned more than once that its corruption isn't always a sign of weakness. The background noise caused by deep conflicts of interest does not prevent this entity from ruling over the Vasudan Empire and responding to actions taken by the GTA.<br /> <br /> If we were to analyze the true potential of this phenomenon, we'd temporarily have to disregard the current political setting of the PVE. The current situation is atypical, as a war with another species undoubtedly makes certain interests fall to the wayside in favor of the struggle for survival, but what would happen in a different scenario? If anything, we estimate that the influence of certain elements within the Parliament may be so high that they could secretly divert resources, workforce and combatants to their own factions, if they wanted to. The institution is structured in a way that would allow a parallel fleet to the PVN to be formed and grown, albeit under specific circumstances.<br /> <br /> [[Category: Series Resurrecta]]</div>

To do so would help define the meaning of a military’s claim to 'victory' on a battlefield that spans an entire system.<br /> <br /> The days of the Great War are long gone. At that point, most of you weren't even born yet, and those among you who were would have been infants still learning how to walk and talk.<br /> <br /> People like me ''do'' remember that unique sense of terror. We were coming out of fourteen long years of conventional conflict with another species. The odds of two species encountering each other in space, let alone fighting each other, were so miniscule we couldn't even calculate them.<br /> <br /> Then the Shivans appeared. They redefined the concepts of threat, destruction, invasion and survival. They taught us what these words really meant, and made us realize that what counted as conquering a star system, or winning a war with another species, are both intrinsically dependent on who's the winner. A winner like the Shivans won't just achieve space superiority. It will also wipe all life and civilization from a planet, just as it did with Vasuda Prime.<br /> <br /> The sudden discovery of yet another species, the Ancients, allowed us to prevent Earth's fall to such a fate. <br /> <br /> Earth, a homeworld you have never visited, yet perceive as something important but only remotely tied to your life.<br /> <br /> The past is a key factor in shaping the future. Knowledge of the past will help the GTVA regain and maintain its glory. Some of you may have already heard the term 'The Lost Generation.' It is increasingly used as a way to describe those like you who have never been to Sol. Worry not, for you are not Lost. You will lead the future of humanity, which no longer needs its homeworld to survive and prosper.<br /> <br /> Let the new homeworld, our 'Neo Terra' of sorts, be everywhere you'll be calling home in the days, months, and years to come.<br /> <br /> ===[September 2nd, 2341] Report of Akheton Corporation Delegation to the Imperial Palace===<br /> For the attention of Emperor Khonsu II:<br /> <br /> It is with great honor and pleasure that we introduce the finalized report and digital model of Project Sobek. The tenth annex of this confidential document is focused on the possibility of implementing beam weapon technology in this design.<br /> <br /> As you are already aware, the concept of this design is based on declassified reports of the SCv Moloch, a 'corvette' class of warship encountered in the late stages of the Great War. <br /> <br /> At first erroneously interpreted as a large cruiser, the Moloch was something else. The Moloch is an intermediate class combining the speed and flexibility of cruisers with the firepower and endurance of destroyers. We have designated this new class ‘corvette’.<br /> <br /> It proved to be so versatile that joint teams of Vasudan and Terran engineers analyzed all available reports on the few ships of this class that had been encountered. Subsequently the concept of the corvette class was introduced to strategists.<br /> <br /> Unlike the Shivan design we based our work on, what will likely become the GVC-V Sobek lacks a fighter bay. Our reports and tests proved that the inclusion of a fighter bay would significantly decrease the hull integrity of the warship without adding any tactical capabilities other than hosting a wing of small-to-medium fighters.<br /> <br /> Compared to the Moloch, however, the Sobek’s firepower is considerably greater and the sleek design is expected to make the Sobek more efficient in combat, both in attack and defense. This is a similar result to that of the Terran Deimos, which is also expected to be manufactured very soon. We believe the Sobek will fulfil a number of roles the Deimos may be too logistically complex to perform.<br /> <br /> Both ships will be vital for the future of Vasudan and Terran fleets. In our effort to renew our fleets, the Sobek will be the key to efficiencies in strategies, logistics and combat. Under the right conditions, as tested in the attached war simulations, two ships of this class can compete directly with any known destroyer and come out victorious.<br /> <br /> The final production phase awaits Your approval, Emperor.<br /> <br /> ===[March 5th, 2335] Epitaph in a devastated Ancient settlement in Altair IV===<br /> ''Discovered by Vasudan survivors from the Vasuda Prime massacre.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> &quot;A lone survivor joined us two Glorious Homeworld cycles ago, the only survivor from an entire colony of our people to escape from a devastated system. It was truly a miracle.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It was so unbelievable at first that, for a moment, we thought it was bait, a way for the Destroyers to expose our settlement of survivors and make its location known. It ultimately turned out to be a genuine spacecraft of our race, coming from several beloved star systems distant.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The survivor piloting it was severely wounded, but we managed to provide basic cures. Among the data and archives carried in the approaching emergency spacecraft were testimonies of a prosperity long gone. We also discovered how the Destroyers employed [Trains of Doom] in that system, as well as in the neighbouring systems of our once mighty empire. These massive convoys of ‘Trains of Doom’ were difficult to detect and monitor. Days after their disappearance, they would be followed by large Destroyer armadas, attacking our people from flanks and even from behind, in systems one or two [Subspace] jumps away from the frontlines.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The reports from our people in that colony provided us with significant intelligence. They had learned that in many systems the Destroyers had hidden away fleets capable of staying in stasis for millennia, before their reactivation by a Train of Doom. Once reactivated, the fleets would join their main force and eliminate whatever trace of our once beautiful civilization they detected.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;These same awakened fleets were seen employing a bombing tactic never seen before in the invasion, a weapon of terror that could use subspace to... [indecipherable due to excessive superficial damage.]&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The survivor, messenger of a doomed branch of our fallen Empire, ultimately passed away from a disease we were no longer able to cure with what little we now have. Its treatment would have needed mere minutes in our old, great epochs of prosperity and glory. If anything, the pilot was lucky. Unlike us, he will not have to live through the last few remaining days of existence, eye witnessing our complete extinction not only as a civilization, but as a species.&quot;<br /> <br /> ===[February 18th, 2320] Excerpt from &quot;An introduction to subspace, the great physical wonder&quot;===<br /> Subspace and gravity appear to be connected to each other, albeit in a somewhat complex relationship. Although most of the features of subspace are still a mystery to us, we have observed a strong connection between it and gravitational fields. It doesn't necessarily mean that all of subspace requires the presence of gravity fields to allow travel, as ably demonstrated by interstellar jump nodes, but it shows how, at the very least, the roots of this phenomenon are connected to gravity.<br /> <br /> Since the very beginning of subspace exploitation, it has been noted that the amount of energy necessary for an intrasystem jump is proportional to the intensity of the gravitational field, and its distribution with respect to a given craft's route. For example, jumping towards the center of a star system requires less energy compared to a journey away from said center. The difference in terms of energy required is negligible for modern subspace drives, but it was a major factor in early experiments. It has also been proven that proximity to an interstellar jump node does not act as an auxiliary gravity source. Therefore, jump nodes do not affect the energy required for intrasystem jumps. <br /> <br /> Intersystem jumps follow very different rules. The energy required for such jumps is way beyond the capabilities of small spacecraft, and poses a challenge for even the largest ships. However, it is not proportional to the distance between two stable jump nodes. This leads one to assume, as described in greater detail in later chapters of this publication, that while intrasystem jumps are vastly affected by gravity, intersystem jumps are not. Instead, intersystem jumps rely on some kind of subspace ‘flow’, which, once entered, allows ships to pass through it with little effort beyond the energy expended from entering subspace. Gravity seems to play no role in this flow, as the gravitational field of connected star systems is negligible at best during travel.<br /> There's no influence from external gravity sources, either, because the subspace flow passes through interstellar space, whose density is low. Further in the publication, hypotheses and experiments showing the existence of a subspace flow will be shown...<br /> <br /> ===[April 13th, 2365] Excerpt from the book 'Tales of a Wounded Great War Pilot'===<br /> We maintained secrecy over the Iksura freighters and their colossal cargo capacity for quite some time. The reason? It was deeply counterproductive in post Great War time to admit how inferior we were compared to the Shivans in fields other than offensive power. Well, that's my own hypothesis, and who knows if there's something else behind it.<br /> <br /> One thing I can tell for sure: facing them in combat was as frightening as facing a destroyer or similar warship. You're there, out in the void of space, pretending to be shooting at a sitting duck, except the sitting duck and its cargo are more well armored, armed and protected than one of our own Fenris-class cruisers. Think about that, let it sink in, then add one important factor to the equation: a jamming field whose strength and range would effectively prevent any sensor lock from being gained. No missiles that required a lock could be launched against these... Doomtrains. None at all.<br /> <br /> A jamming that would not only compromise your offensive capacity, but it would also cut you off from your allies, their messages, their calls for help and so on. That was a powerful weapon, too, at times more frightening than defensive turrets. There was a drawback to the Doomtrains, however: as we suspected, and later tested directly in combat, the destruction of any of the components in the chain, including the towing freighter itself, would have triggered a chain reaction causing the immediate destruction of all following units. The mechanism by which this happened, according to undisclosed information, was probably due to an automated Shivan mechanism that would self destruct each lost component, thus preventing its capture by any kind of enemy.<br /> <br /> We then assumed that only the most sensitive cargo would be carried by Doomtrains. Attempts to even try and scan the cargo proved impossible, due to the intense jamming field and the self-destruct mechanism. Never in our interstellar conflicts have we seen such a mysterious, deceptive and intriguing freighter. It's not the ship type we would normally link to all these characteristics, as we believe actual warships to be more than a threat. But what if the Iksuras were responsible for maintaining entire Shivan fleets with their precious cargo? That would make them second only to the Lucifer in terms of strategic importance. That's the lesson we learned at Ross 128.<br /> <br /> ===[August 5th, 2337] Classified transcript from the interrogation of a Hammer of Light fanatic===<br /> &quot;To what degree were you involved in the final efforts of the Alliance in countering the Shivans in Ross 128?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I was deployed by my guru to investigate Shivan activity in the system.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;How was this activity carried out?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I was the pilot of a retrofitted Seshat scout fighter. I had enough supplies in my spacecraft to perform a reconnaissance mission lasting an entire month. I then staged my loss in a reconnaissance operation, self destructed my craft, and provided my guru with the information he needed. One of our comrades picked me up and organized my transfer back to safe systems.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;What kind of information have you been able to provide, and by what means?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We learned that the Destroyers, as per our prophecies, were not defeated. There was something else besides the Lucifer controlling them. It was simply replacing the Lucifer's lost control. It then would have conquered Vasudan and Terran space, succeeding where the Lucifer finally failed.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I see. Continue...&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Those were rough times for our ideals. We seemed doomed, oblivion the only possible outcome. Millennia of prophecies almost seemed like painful illusions, yet the truth was even greater than our expectations. That truth had to be delivered back to our systems and stop the mass defections and suicides among Hammer of Light loyalists.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Were you aware of other activities being carried out in the frontline?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Yes, I know that some of our own loyalists were onboard the PVD Imhotep. Others were spread amongst the members of the battle group. Every single ship had some of our faithful onboard. Some of us managed to slow down joint Vasudan-Terran operations, performing surgical strikes and driving PVE and GTA strategists into chaos. They were ultimately fooled into linking those failures to new Destroyer designs we hadn't seen before in the conflict. That allowed us to go unnoticed for weeks.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Describe one such act of sabotage to joint Vasudan-Terran operations.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It happened days after the destruction of the Lucifer. Some of our loyalists were sent to deal with a Cain cruiser, in Delta Serpentis, which seemed very well guarded for a ship of its class. We believed it was the sign of something greater, and the moment we saw the Shivans using a previously unseen weapon, we realized it was time to become messengers of a new truth. We haven't stopped ever since.&quot;<br /> <br /> ===[January 24th, 2368] Civilian Media Investigation Report &quot;Questions they won't let us answer about the Shivans&quot;===<br /> ''Aired on most public GTVA channels ''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> If we really want to get to the bottom of the problem, the reason behind all of the big unanswered questions, we have to go back to where everything started.<br /> <br /> If you're guessing what star we're showing right now, you're guessing right, it's Ross 128. Don't be fooled by this fiery glow coming from a red dwarf. The mysteries that lay in this system are far greater than previously thought.<br /> <br /> Some of you watching this episode are Capellan refugees, looking for a new place to call home. You might as well wonder what lies between the tragedy of your homeworlds' collapse and the source of the Shivan incursions in the Great War. To date, there are no clear - let alone official - explanations on how the Great War actually ended. There's the majestic, glorious end - that of the Lucifer - but there was an actual end to the war, the last encounter between a Shivan and a Terran or Vasudan ship.<br /> <br /> Details on this last encounter are unknown. We have no idea how it took place, we know it happened in this system, somewhere in the void of space, yet it led to the disappearance of the Shivans for over three decades. We still hear from scientists who believe the Shivans used interstellar jump drives capable of not relying on stable jump nodes, proving how such drives may theoretically be possible, but how accurate are these hypotheses?<br /> <br /> Furthermore, we believe that hiding the truth from honest GTVA citizens is an insult to the sacrifices committed by our loved ones in the past forty-five years of galactic conflict and challenging reconstruction efforts. We may be as resilient as phoenixes rising from ashes, but at what point do we accept the ignorance of the past, especially when said ignorance is driven by somebody? How can we possibly live our lives and even plan to reopen the Sol jump node using Knossos-derived technology, if we're so unsure about what's behind us?<br /> <br /> Should we even plan to go this far, knowing that, even if it is sealed from the rest of colonized space, Sol is - as far as we know and can extrapolate - a safe place?<br /> <br /> ===[November 14th, 2352] Memories of a veteran from the 53rd Hammerheads===<br /> ''Written on his personal diary, recovered by the heirs after his death, on September 18th, 2388''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Shortly after our final victory over the Lucifer, I felt relieved about the possibility of not facing the Shivans ever again. This feeling has changed over the years, of course, effectively turning me into what I am right now. I am now obsessed, puzzled by what I, for a long time, believed was but a memory of the past. It now chases me, over and over, even in my dreams. I seem to be the only person around here who spends most of the day thinking about what lies beyond the sealed jump node.<br /> <br /> The victory over such an enemy came at a price going far beyond the meaning of what we learned from past history, when it comes to conflicts. There was a military victory, at least a local one, and that was the moment the Lucifer fell to our attack aimed at its multiple reactors. But a seal was imposed, and one system had to be cut off from the others, dismantling decades of space colonization in fractions of a second. That was the ultimate cost of our victory.<br /> <br /> We have no idea about the evolution of the conflict on the other side of the node. There are many possibilities, all driven by questions I will never be able to answer, as no one probably will for many years to come. I do wonder, however, if the war for survival on the other side had a similar ending to what happened here, in the form of a second, maybe a third or fourth, sealing of a system from the cosmic net of subspace flow.<br /> <br /> Is this the lesson learnt from the Destroyers? Disappear into the oblivion of endless space, with your species going extinct, or merely slow down the process by self isolating? Is isolation the final solution over a galactic conflict with an enemy that won't come for your resources, instead overwhelms you with technology and numbers, then aims to cancel your entire civilization with no trace whatsoever of a contact, a will for peace?<br /> <br /> Are the survivors on the other side, providing that they're still alive, in a chasing marathon with destiny, a fight for survival where cutting the branches of a colossal tree is the only way to preserve life?<br /> <br /> ==[[The Spirit of Ptah]]==<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] First excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> One thing that may be more due to common stereotypes than actual proof and evidence of their actions, is their supposed tendency to give individual lives less of a value compared to us. Suicides, kamikaze attempts and possibly brave actions with no consideration of the possible consequences, all seem to be more frequent in Vasudan culture compared to our own tendencies. An equal stereotype from their end sees us as greedy and unable to work together for a common, greater goal, as we are doomed to let our individual interests overcome it.<br /> <br /> The ongoing war with this alien species leads us - if we want to analyze their culture objectively - to view their behaviors in combat separately from what they do in civilian life. From what we understand, Vasudans with roles and responsibilities have enormous psychological pressure, regardless of their skills. They're meritocratic, in the sense that they seem to ignore all internal differences with respect to social rank, thus allowing the most skilled and talented of them to have notable careers in the context of their respective castes, and only the highest of ranks are predominantly driven by inheritance.<br /> <br /> Vasudans with specific roles in politics and the academic world take this pressure very, very seriously. Governors failing to achieve specific pre-set objectives of their political mandates may oftentimes end their careers in dishonored retirement, or even commit suicide. Lecturers and researchers whose works are proven to be weak or wrong under strict checks within their communities may also end their careers so abruptly. All of this happens in our own culture, too, but more rarely, thereby leading to rigid stereotypes on both sides.<br /> <br /> While, from the Vasudans' perspective, all of this may be an interpretation of death as a necessary means to obtain honor and fulfill some particular goal, this can be actually interpreted as their way to adore life and what it offers.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Second excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> A lot has been written and said about the Vasudan language and its countless dialects, with stereotypes indicating such forms of expressions as absurdly complicated, as words may change - even radically so - depending on social rank, the distance to Vasuda Prime, the underlying circumstances of the conversation and myriad other factors.<br /> <br /> This extra complexity, which adds to the overall complexity of the many thousands of dialects spoken by the Vasudans, may seem difficult to understand and justify by trying to relate it to modern Terran languages. It's commonly interpreted, in fact, as yet another sign of ritualism and superstition injected by the Vasudans into virtually any endeavor in their lives, with the language being just one of the many examples supporting this thesis. As most linguists will agree, however, it doesn't differ that much from what our own languages have been based on in the past few millennia. While the overall complexity of these variations wasn't comparable to that of Vasudan languages, we have many notable examples in our own history proving that, unlike what the stereotypes seem to indicate, adding complexity to text and conversations is not a purely Vasudan tendency.<br /> <br /> To be more specific, in Terran history, with only a few exceptions still persisting today, languages and dialects have taken into account contexts that would cause them to be difficult to understand under modern circumstances. One such factor was social rank, with differences depending on who was talking and who said person was talking to. All known examples were constrained by the fact that they were spoken by natives with extremely limited technological capabilities, as they obviously weren't space faring populations, but the fundamentals we extrapolate from archeological findings point to an apparent convergence.<br /> <br /> Who knows with any certainty? Perhaps, had Terran history proceeded differently, we would be speaking with that same extra reverential complexity that the Vasudan language is built upon.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Third excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> Vasuda Prime, the fourth planet of the Vasuda system, is the homeworld of this species at war with us. Unlike we Terrans, who managed to establish colonies on many planets and satellites of Sol, the Vasudans had to face a much greater challenge, as Vasuda Prime is the only major celestial body compatible with exploitable colonization in that system, so they've relied a lot on jump nodes to found new colonies in nearby systems. The discovery of subspace, in fact, was demonstrably much more of a blessing to the Vasudans than it was for us, and this is mostly due to Sol's peculiarities. We don't have the same need to expand our hegemony to other systems. This is one of the reasons why many suspect that the war was doomed to start regardless of the outcome of the two species’ first contacts, though this is still open to debate.<br /> <br /> The planet is a rather tough environment, and many question how the Vasudans evolved and developed in such a scenario. Its landmass is divided into two major supercontinents which underwent a rifting event only a few million years ago, and are still moving apart from each other. The current geodynamic setting of Vasuda is similar, although far from equal, to that seen on Earth between the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras. Much like with Earth over 250 million years ago, the formation of a single supercontinent - Pangaea, in our case - may lead to radical changes in the environments, with the expansion of deserts in the inner regions resulting in planetwide mass extinctions. Vasuda Prime hosted a colossal desert prior to the rifting event, caused by the collision of smaller continents, and even now, as the two major supercontinents are diverging, the surface is still mostly dominated by deserts. The Vasudans are believed to have evolved in coastal regions of the southern supercontinent, whose climate was more temperate, though still challenging. These geodynamical settings and the timing of past continental collisions have allowed Vasuda Prime to host hydrocarbon reserves at least one order of magnitude larger than those on Earth, and the exploitation of such reserves at the right stage of Vasudan history has allowed the technological boost that ultimately led them to become a space-faring species.<br /> <br /> Unlike Terrans, who have developed more on the technology branch than on an evolutionary scale in the past few thousand years, the Vasudans appear to have experienced an anomalous change a few millennia ago, the origin of which is still debated.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Fourth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> The most puzzling and contradictory perception of the Vasudans is the one that sees them as soldiers who would blindly follow any kind of order given by their general. The reality couldn't be any more different than this perception, supported by fragmented and anecdotal evidence.<br /> <br /> Though their respect towards authorities is unquestionable, applying to many endeavors beyond warfare, each Vasudan is asked to be judgmental and follow precise customs and courtesies to let someone with a higher rank know that they disagree about a choice. This occurrence is rare, but whenever it happens, it exposes a new facet of Vasudan culture and a way to interpret the formalities of authority in a more pragmatic manner. There are limited circumstances where any Vasudan could object to an extremely highly ranked member of their military or Parliament, and do so in a way that would seem absurd to us Terrans. Even in the greatest democracies of our past, the interaction between simple citizens or soldiers and their rules has always had some sort of filter, and our modern era is no exception, despite the GTA's status as a stable and solid democracy.<br /> <br /> Where does the difference lie, then? How come a supposed stricter respect of higher authorities also accounts for interactions between Vasudans whose ranks are vastly different? Some interpret this as a legacy of past times, when the lack of technology allowed more direct interactions between Vasudans of different ranks, though strictly regulated by precise rituals. According to a different interpretation, this may be due to one specific and ancient ritual of Vasudan culture, which used to be very common in small villages with one or two leaders. This inherited tradition expects each Vasudan, at least once in a lifetime, to perform a ritual conversation with a person of a much higher rank, and discuss particular subjects which are determined by respective ranks. The date and content of the conversation would then be a solid part of one's achievements, in a way that would resemble a Terran diploma. Ancient Vasudan tombs have been confirmed to have inscriptions related to this ritual.<br /> <br /> The truth may be within a combination of these two interpretations, which both differ quite a lot from what we've experienced in our own history. Imagine one of our ancestors getting the chance to talk to a king or ruler, and imagine the tomb having an inscription about that conversation as if it were a remarkable achievement, something that heirs would talk about for decades.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Fifth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> As a space faring species, could the Vasudans see the light of technological advance being darkened and shrouded by a veil of superstition? It appears that they potentially could. The Vasudans, regardless of their rank, take ancient texts and lessons from the past very seriously. Their concept of the past itself deserves its own explanation, as it constitutes a key to understanding this phenomenon.<br /> <br /> The main point here is that the words we use to describe these sources of knowledge for the Vasudan people diverge quite a bit from their actual meaning, as seen from their perspective. We talk about Vasudan mythology and prophecies, and by using these words, we carry on implications that don't match the real values of these from their perspective. In Earth's history, a mythology was essentially the religion of a defunct civilization, while a prophecy is something tied to supernatural powers, and therefore very weak once analyzed with reason in mind. This is absolutely not what Vasudan 'mythology' and 'prophecies' are about; both of them, while still vague in their words and open to dozens of different interpretations, are tied to reality in a way far greater than most ancient texts and inscriptions in Terran history.<br /> <br /> The paradox is that we've been influenced more by religion and superstition than the Vasudans have been, yet we took separate paths that ultimately led to our situation being reversed. Our own mythologies referred to hypothetical creatures and stories, while Vasudan 'mythologies' combined supernatural elements with primitive science, in an effort to explain natural phenomena and the intrinsic fundamentals of nature. How could this happen, how come we've ended up pretending to be the rational individuals, unlike our superstitious counterparts?<br /> <br /> Once again, it's a subject with multiple hypotheses and no clear explanations or answers can be given. Researchers, however, point to the Vasudans' religious and political stability over millennia as the main reason behind this difference. While incredibly varied on their own, Vasudan cultures share a common root dating back to millennia ago, and this may have allowed tales and scripts to be carried over hundreds of generations with no changes whatsoever to their influence. It's not the case for ancient Terran cultures, which were geographically constrained and have undergone radical changes on the scale of decades, not millennia. It goes without saying that, as the social and religious momentum in their society is maintained, ancient texts acquire more and more importance thanks to their age.<br /> <br /> This view, however, is not shared by many researchers who still see superstition as the source of these Vasudan behaviors.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Sixth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> Regardless of the Galactic Terran Alliance's monitoring of all texts and publications concerning the Vasudans, overwhelming evidence about their Parliament being seriously corrupted is hardly debatable. Such corruption is widespread and affects the lives of the Vasudan people in ways that, if hypothetically applied to the GTA itself, could fit the description of a not-so-benevolent dictatorship.<br /> <br /> Corruption has been confirmed to have characterized the Parliament for a significant portion of its history, though sudden increases have been experienced - based on the information that we have - following the colonization of nearby systems. As reported before in this manuscript, the Vasudans are more dependent on space colonization than we are, and it's no secret that something as critically important as the discovery of subspace would have tremendous implications. Early Vasudan subspace travel was severely regulated and inaccessible to most, and the Parliament worked hard to maintain the economic balances of such a great discovery. Space colonization has increased corruption within the Parliament as a tool to control the flow of resources and the consequent influence of those responsible for the harvesting of said resources. The war made things even worse, as military elites put pressure on a number of political debates for things that seem more strictly related to their attempt to gain more influence than actually make decisions relevant to the war effort. Despite all of these major drawbacks, the Parliament as a political infrastructure performs its job, and we have learned more than once that its corruption isn't always a sign of weakness. The background noise caused by deep conflicts of interest does not prevent this entity from ruling over the Vasudan Empire and responding to actions taken by the GTA.<br /> <br /> If we were to analyze the true potential of this phenomenon, we'd temporarily have to disregard the current political setting of the PVE. The current situation is atypical, as a war with another species undoubtedly makes certain interests fall to the wayside in favor of the struggle for survival, but what would happen in a different scenario? If anything, we estimate that the influence of certain elements within the Parliament may be so high that they could secretly divert resources, workforce and combatants to their own factions, if they wanted to. The institution is structured in a way that would allow a parallel fleet to the PVN to be formed and grown, albeit under specific circumstances.<br /> <br /> [[Category: Series Resurrecta]]</div>

To do so would help define the meaning of a military’s claim to 'victory' on a battlefield that spans an entire system.<br /> <br /> The days of the Great War are long gone. At that point, most of you weren't even born yet, and those among you who were would have been infants still learning how to walk and talk.<br /> <br /> People like me ''do'' remember that unique sense of terror. We were coming out of fourteen long years of conventional conflict with another species. The odds of two species encountering each other in space, let alone fighting each other, were so miniscule we couldn't even calculate them.<br /> <br /> Then the Shivans appeared. They redefined the concepts of threat, destruction, invasion and survival. They taught us what these words really meant, and made us realize that what counted as conquering a star system, or winning a war with another species, are both intrinsically dependent on who's the winner. A winner like the Shivans won't just achieve space superiority. It will also wipe all life and civilization from a planet, just as it did with Vasuda Prime.<br /> <br /> The sudden discovery of yet another species, the Ancients, allowed us to prevent Earth's fall to such a fate. <br /> <br /> Earth, a homeworld you have never visited, yet perceive as something important but only remotely tied to your life.<br /> <br /> The past is a key factor in shaping the future. Knowledge of the past will help the GTVA regain and maintain its glory. Some of you may have already heard the term 'The Lost Generation.' It is increasingly used as a way to describe those like you who have never been to Sol. Worry not, for you are not Lost. You will lead the future of humanity, which no longer needs its homeworld to survive and prosper.<br /> <br /> Let the new homeworld, our 'Neo Terra' of sorts, be everywhere you'll be calling home in the days, months, and years to come.<br /> <br /> ===[September 2nd, 2341] Report of Akheton Corporation Delegation to the Imperial Palace===<br /> For the attention of Emperor Khonsu II:<br /> <br /> It is with great honor and pleasure that we introduce the finalized report and digital model of Project Sobek. The tenth annex of this confidential document is focused on the possibility of implementing beam weapon technology in this design.<br /> <br /> As you are already aware, the concept of this design is based on declassified reports of the SCv Moloch, a 'corvette' class of warship encountered in the late stages of the Great War. <br /> <br /> At first erroneously interpreted as a large cruiser, the Moloch was something else. The Moloch is an intermediate class combining the speed and flexibility of cruisers with the firepower and endurance of destroyers. We have designated this new class ‘corvette’.<br /> <br /> It proved to be so versatile that joint teams of Vasudan and Terran engineers analyzed all available reports on the few ships of this class that had been encountered. Subsequently the concept of the corvette class was introduced to strategists.<br /> <br /> Unlike the Shivan design we based our work on, what will likely become the GVC-V Sobek lacks a fighter bay. Our reports and tests proved that the inclusion of a fighter bay would significantly decrease the hull integrity of the warship without adding any tactical capabilities other than hosting a wing of small-to-medium fighters.<br /> <br /> Compared to the Moloch, however, the Sobek’s firepower is considerably greater and the sleek design is expected to make the Sobek more efficient in combat, both in attack and defense. This is a similar result to that of the Terran Deimos, which is also expected to be manufactured very soon. We believe the Sobek will fulfil a number of roles the Deimos may be too logistically complex to perform.<br /> <br /> Both ships will be vital for the future of Vasudan and Terran fleets. In our effort to renew our fleets, the Sobek will be the key to efficiencies in strategies, logistics and combat. Under the right conditions, as tested in the attached war simulations, two ships of this class can compete directly with any known destroyer and come out victorious.<br /> <br /> The final production phase awaits Your approval, Emperor.<br /> <br /> ===[March 5th, 2335] Epitaph in a devastated Ancient settlement in Altair IV===<br /> ''Discovered by Vasudan survivors from the Vasuda Prime massacre.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> &quot;A lone survivor joined us two Glorious Homeworld cycles ago, the only survivor from an entire colony of our people to escape from a devastated system. It was truly a miracle.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It was so unbelievable at first that, for a moment, we thought it was bait, a way for the Destroyers to expose our settlement of survivors and make its location known. It ultimately turned out to be a genuine spacecraft of our race, coming from several beloved star systems distant.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The survivor piloting it was severely wounded, but we managed to provide basic cures. Among the data and archives carried in the approaching emergency spacecraft were testimonies of a prosperity long gone. We also discovered how the Destroyers employed [Trains of Doom] in that system, as well as in the neighbouring systems of our once mighty empire. These massive convoys of ‘Trains of Doom’ were difficult to detect and monitor. Days after their disappearance, they would be followed by large Destroyer armadas, attacking our people from flanks and even from behind, in systems one or two [Subspace] jumps away from the frontlines.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The reports from our people in that colony provided us with significant intelligence. They had learned that in many systems the Destroyers had hidden away fleets capable of staying in stasis for millennia, before their reactivation by a Train of Doom. Once reactivated, the fleets would join their main force and eliminate whatever trace of our once beautiful civilization they detected.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;These same awakened fleets were seen employing a bombing tactic never seen before in the invasion, a weapon of terror that could use subspace to... [indecipherable due to excessive superficial damage.]&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The survivor, messenger of a doomed branch of our fallen Empire, ultimately passed away from a disease we were no longer able to cure with what little we now have. Its treatment would have needed mere minutes in our old, great epochs of prosperity and glory. If anything, the pilot was lucky. Unlike us, he will not have to live through the last few remaining days of existence, eye witnessing our complete extinction not only as a civilization, but as a species.&quot;<br /> <br /> ===[February 18th, 2320] Excerpt from &quot;An introduction to subspace, the great physical wonder&quot;===<br /> Subspace and gravity appear to be connected to each other, albeit in a somewhat complex relationship. Although most of the features of subspace are still a mystery to us, we have observed a strong connection between it and gravitational fields. It doesn't necessarily mean that all of subspace requires the presence of gravity fields to allow travel, as ably demonstrated by interstellar jump nodes, but it shows how, at the very least, the roots of this phenomenon are connected to gravity.<br /> <br /> <br /> Since the very beginning of subspace exploitation, it has been noted that the amount of energy necessary for an intrasystem jump is proportional to the intensity of the gravitational field, and its distribution with respect to a given craft's route. For example, jumping towards the center of a star system requires less energy compared to a journey away from said center. The difference in terms of energy required is negligible for modern subspace drives, but it was a major factor in early experiments. It has also been proven that proximity to an interstellar jump node does not act as an auxiliary gravity source. Therefore, jump nodes do not affect the energy required for intrasystem jumps. <br /> <br /> Intersystem jumps follow very different rules. The energy required for such jumps is way beyond the capabilities of small spacecraft, and poses a challenge for even the largest ships. However, it is not proportional to the distance between two stable jump nodes. This leads one to assume, as described in greater detail in later chapters of this publication, that while intrasystem jumps are vastly affected by gravity, intersystem jumps are not. Instead, intersystem jumps rely on some kind of subspace ‘flow’, which, once entered, allows ships to pass through it with little effort beyond the energy expended from entering subspace. Gravity seems to play no role in this flow, as the gravitational field of connected star systems is negligible at best during travel.<br /> There's no influence from external gravity sources, either, because the subspace flow passes through interstellar space, whose density is low. Further in the publication, hypotheses and experiments showing the existence of a subspace flow will be shown...<br /> <br /> ===[April 13th, 2365] Excerpt from the book 'Tales of a Wounded Great War Pilot'===<br /> We maintained secrecy over the Iksura freighters and their colossal cargo capacity for quite some time. The reason? It was deeply counterproductive in post Great War time to admit how inferior we were compared to the Shivans in fields other than offensive power. Well, that's my own hypothesis, and who knows if there's something else behind it.<br /> <br /> One thing I can tell for sure: facing them in combat was as frightening as facing a destroyer or similar warship. You're there, out in the void of space, pretending to be shooting at a sitting duck, except the sitting duck and its cargo are more well armored, armed and protected than one of our own Fenris-class cruisers. Think about that, let it sink in, then add one important factor to the equation: a jamming field whose strength and range would effectively prevent any sensor lock from being gained. No missiles that required a lock could be launched against these... Doomtrains. None at all.<br /> <br /> A jamming that would not only compromise your offensive capacity, but it would also cut you off from your allies, their messages, their calls for help and so on. That was a powerful weapon, too, at times more frightening than defensive turrets. There was a drawback to the Doomtrains, however: as we suspected, and later tested directly in combat, the destruction of any of the components in the chain, including the towing freighter itself, would have triggered a chain reaction causing the immediate destruction of all following units. The mechanism by which this happened, according to undisclosed information, was probably due to an automated Shivan mechanism that would self destruct each lost component, thus preventing its capture by any kind of enemy.<br /> <br /> We then assumed that only the most sensitive cargo would be carried by Doomtrains. Attempts to even try and scan the cargo proved impossible, due to the intense jamming field and the self-destruct mechanism. Never in our interstellar conflicts have we seen such a mysterious, deceptive and intriguing freighter. It's not the ship type we would normally link to all these characteristics, as we believe actual warships to be more than a threat. But what if the Iksuras were responsible for maintaining entire Shivan fleets with their precious cargo? That would make them second only to the Lucifer in terms of strategic importance. That's the lesson we learned at Ross 128.<br /> <br /> ===[August 5th, 2337] Classified transcript from the interrogation of a Hammer of Light fanatic===<br /> &quot;To what degree were you involved in the final efforts of the Alliance in countering the Shivans in Ross 128?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I was deployed by my guru to investigate Shivan activity in the system.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;How was this activity carried out?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I was the pilot of a retrofitted Seshat scout fighter. I had enough supplies in my spacecraft to perform a reconnaissance mission lasting an entire month. I then staged my loss in a reconnaissance operation, self destructed my craft, and provided my guru with the information he needed. One of our comrades picked me up and organized my transfer back to safe systems.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;What kind of information have you been able to provide, and by what means?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We learned that the Destroyers, as per our prophecies, were not defeated. There was something else besides the Lucifer controlling them. It was simply replacing the Lucifer's lost control. It then would have conquered Vasudan and Terran space, succeeding where the Lucifer finally failed.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I see. Continue...&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Those were rough times for our ideals. We seemed doomed, oblivion the only possible outcome. Millennia of prophecies almost seemed like painful illusions, yet the truth was even greater than our expectations. That truth had to be delivered back to our systems and stop the mass defections and suicides among Hammer of Light loyalists.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Were you aware of other activities being carried out in the frontline?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Yes, I know that some of our own loyalists were onboard the PVD Imhotep. Others were spread amongst the members of the battle group. Every single ship had some of our faithful onboard. Some of us managed to slow down joint Vasudan-Terran operations, performing surgical strikes and driving PVE and GTA strategists into chaos. They were ultimately fooled into linking those failures to new Destroyer designs we hadn't seen before in the conflict. That allowed us to go unnoticed for weeks.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Describe one such act of sabotage to joint Vasudan-Terran operations.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It happened days after the destruction of the Lucifer. Some of our loyalists were sent to deal with a Cain cruiser, in Delta Serpentis, which seemed very well guarded for a ship of its class. We believed it was the sign of something greater, and the moment we saw the Shivans using a previously unseen weapon, we realized it was time to become messengers of a new truth. We haven't stopped ever since.&quot;<br /> <br /> ===[January 24th, 2368] Civilian Media Investigation Report &quot;Questions they won't let us answer about the Shivans&quot;===<br /> ''Aired on most public GTVA channels ''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> If we really want to get to the bottom of the problem, the reason behind all of the big unanswered questions, we have to go back to where everything started.<br /> <br /> If you're guessing what star we're showing right now, you're guessing right, it's Ross 128. Don't be fooled by this fiery glow coming from a red dwarf. The mysteries that lay in this system are far greater than previously thought.<br /> <br /> Some of you watching this episode are Capellan refugees, looking for a new place to call home. You might as well wonder what lies between the tragedy of your homeworlds' collapse and the source of the Shivan incursions in the Great War. To date, there are no clear - let alone official - explanations on how the Great War actually ended. There's the majestic, glorious end - that of the Lucifer - but there was an actual end to the war, the last encounter between a Shivan and a Terran or Vasudan ship.<br /> <br /> Details on this last encounter are unknown. We have no idea how it took place, we know it happened in this system, somewhere in the void of space, yet it led to the disappearance of the Shivans for over three decades. We still hear from scientists who believe the Shivans used interstellar jump drives capable of not relying on stable jump nodes, proving how such drives may theoretically be possible, but how accurate are these hypotheses?<br /> <br /> Furthermore, we believe that hiding the truth from honest GTVA citizens is an insult to the sacrifices committed by our loved ones in the past forty-five years of galactic conflict and challenging reconstruction efforts. We may be as resilient as phoenixes rising from ashes, but at what point do we accept the ignorance of the past, especially when said ignorance is driven by somebody? How can we possibly live our lives and even plan to reopen the Sol jump node using Knossos-derived technology, if we're so unsure about what's behind us?<br /> <br /> Should we even plan to go this far, knowing that, even if it is sealed from the rest of colonized space, Sol is - as far as we know and can extrapolate - a safe place?<br /> <br /> ===[November 14th, 2352] Memories of a veteran from the 53rd Hammerheads===<br /> ''Written on his personal diary, recovered by the heirs after his death, on September 18th, 2388''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Shortly after our final victory over the Lucifer, I felt relieved about the possibility of not facing the Shivans ever again. This feeling has changed over the years, of course, effectively turning me into what I am right now. I am now obsessed, puzzled by what I, for a long time, believed was but a memory of the past. It now chases me, over and over, even in my dreams. I seem to be the only person around here who spends most of the day thinking about what lies beyond the sealed jump node.<br /> <br /> The victory over such an enemy came at a price going far beyond the meaning of what we learned from past history, when it comes to conflicts. There was a military victory, at least a local one, and that was the moment the Lucifer fell to our attack aimed at its multiple reactors. But a seal was imposed, and one system had to be cut off from the others, dismantling decades of space colonization in fractions of a second. That was the ultimate cost of our victory.<br /> <br /> We have no idea about the evolution of the conflict on the other side of the node. There are many possibilities, all driven by questions I will never be able to answer, as no one probably will for many years to come. I do wonder, however, if the war for survival on the other side had a similar ending to what happened here, in the form of a second, maybe a third or fourth, sealing of a system from the cosmic net of subspace flow.<br /> <br /> Is this the lesson learnt from the Destroyers? Disappear into the oblivion of endless space, with your species going extinct, or merely slow down the process by self isolating? Is isolation the final solution over a galactic conflict with an enemy that won't come for your resources, instead overwhelms you with technology and numbers, then aims to cancel your entire civilization with no trace whatsoever of a contact, a will for peace?<br /> <br /> Are the survivors on the other side, providing that they're still alive, in a chasing marathon with destiny, a fight for survival where cutting the branches of a colossal tree is the only way to preserve life?<br /> <br /> ==[[The Spirit of Ptah]]==<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] First excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> One thing that may be more due to common stereotypes than actual proof and evidence of their actions, is their supposed tendency to give individual lives less of a value compared to us. Suicides, kamikaze attempts and possibly brave actions with no consideration of the possible consequences, all seem to be more frequent in Vasudan culture compared to our own tendencies. An equal stereotype from their end sees us as greedy and unable to work together for a common, greater goal, as we are doomed to let our individual interests overcome it.<br /> <br /> The ongoing war with this alien species leads us - if we want to analyze their culture objectively - to view their behaviors in combat separately from what they do in civilian life. From what we understand, Vasudans with roles and responsibilities have enormous psychological pressure, regardless of their skills. They're meritocratic, in the sense that they seem to ignore all internal differences with respect to social rank, thus allowing the most skilled and talented of them to have notable careers in the context of their respective castes, and only the highest of ranks are predominantly driven by inheritance.<br /> <br /> Vasudans with specific roles in politics and the academic world take this pressure very, very seriously. Governors failing to achieve specific pre-set objectives of their political mandates may oftentimes end their careers in dishonored retirement, or even commit suicide. Lecturers and researchers whose works are proven to be weak or wrong under strict checks within their communities may also end their careers so abruptly. All of this happens in our own culture, too, but more rarely, thereby leading to rigid stereotypes on both sides.<br /> <br /> While, from the Vasudans' perspective, all of this may be an interpretation of death as a necessary means to obtain honor and fulfill some particular goal, this can be actually interpreted as their way to adore life and what it offers.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Second excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> A lot has been written and said about the Vasudan language and its countless dialects, with stereotypes indicating such forms of expressions as absurdly complicated, as words may change - even radically so - depending on social rank, the distance to Vasuda Prime, the underlying circumstances of the conversation and myriad other factors.<br /> <br /> This extra complexity, which adds to the overall complexity of the many thousands of dialects spoken by the Vasudans, may seem difficult to understand and justify by trying to relate it to modern Terran languages. It's commonly interpreted, in fact, as yet another sign of ritualism and superstition injected by the Vasudans into virtually any endeavor in their lives, with the language being just one of the many examples supporting this thesis. As most linguists will agree, however, it doesn't differ that much from what our own languages have been based on in the past few millennia. While the overall complexity of these variations wasn't comparable to that of Vasudan languages, we have many notable examples in our own history proving that, unlike what the stereotypes seem to indicate, adding complexity to text and conversations is not a purely Vasudan tendency.<br /> <br /> To be more specific, in Terran history, with only a few exceptions still persisting today, languages and dialects have taken into account contexts that would cause them to be difficult to understand under modern circumstances. One such factor was social rank, with differences depending on who was talking and who said person was talking to. All known examples were constrained by the fact that they were spoken by natives with extremely limited technological capabilities, as they obviously weren't space faring populations, but the fundamentals we extrapolate from archeological findings point to an apparent convergence.<br /> <br /> Who knows with any certainty? Perhaps, had Terran history proceeded differently, we would be speaking with that same extra reverential complexity that the Vasudan language is built upon.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Third excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> Vasuda Prime, the fourth planet of the Vasuda system, is the homeworld of this species at war with us. Unlike we Terrans, who managed to establish colonies on many planets and satellites of Sol, the Vasudans had to face a much greater challenge, as Vasuda Prime is the only major celestial body compatible with exploitable colonization in that system, so they've relied a lot on jump nodes to found new colonies in nearby systems. The discovery of subspace, in fact, was demonstrably much more of a blessing to the Vasudans than it was for us, and this is mostly due to Sol's peculiarities. We don't have the same need to expand our hegemony to other systems. This is one of the reasons why many suspect that the war was doomed to start regardless of the outcome of the two species’ first contacts, though this is still open to debate.<br /> <br /> The planet is a rather tough environment, and many question how the Vasudans evolved and developed in such a scenario. Its landmass is divided into two major supercontinents which underwent a rifting event only a few million years ago, and are still moving apart from each other. The current geodynamic setting of Vasuda is similar, although far from equal, to that seen on Earth between the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras. Much like with Earth over 250 million years ago, the formation of a single supercontinent - Pangaea, in our case - may lead to radical changes in the environments, with the expansion of deserts in the inner regions resulting in planetwide mass extinctions. Vasuda Prime hosted a colossal desert prior to the rifting event, caused by the collision of smaller continents, and even now, as the two major supercontinents are diverging, the surface is still mostly dominated by deserts. The Vasudans are believed to have evolved in coastal regions of the southern supercontinent, whose climate was more temperate, though still challenging. These geodynamical settings and the timing of past continental collisions have allowed Vasuda Prime to host hydrocarbon reserves at least one order of magnitude larger than those on Earth, and the exploitation of such reserves at the right stage of Vasudan history has allowed the technological boost that ultimately led them to become a space-faring species.<br /> <br /> Unlike Terrans, who have developed more on the technology branch than on an evolutionary scale in the past few thousand years, the Vasudans appear to have experienced an anomalous change a few millennia ago, the origin of which is still debated.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Fourth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> The most puzzling and contradictory perception of the Vasudans is the one that sees them as soldiers who would blindly follow any kind of order given by their general. The reality couldn't be any more different than this perception, supported by fragmented and anecdotal evidence.<br /> <br /> Though their respect towards authorities is unquestionable, applying to many endeavors beyond warfare, each Vasudan is asked to be judgmental and follow precise customs and courtesies to let someone with a higher rank know that they disagree about a choice. This occurrence is rare, but whenever it happens, it exposes a new facet of Vasudan culture and a way to interpret the formalities of authority in a more pragmatic manner. There are limited circumstances where any Vasudan could object to an extremely highly ranked member of their military or Parliament, and do so in a way that would seem absurd to us Terrans. Even in the greatest democracies of our past, the interaction between simple citizens or soldiers and their rules has always had some sort of filter, and our modern era is no exception, despite the GTA's status as a stable and solid democracy.<br /> <br /> Where does the difference lie, then? How come a supposed stricter respect of higher authorities also accounts for interactions between Vasudans whose ranks are vastly different? Some interpret this as a legacy of past times, when the lack of technology allowed more direct interactions between Vasudans of different ranks, though strictly regulated by precise rituals. According to a different interpretation, this may be due to one specific and ancient ritual of Vasudan culture, which used to be very common in small villages with one or two leaders. This inherited tradition expects each Vasudan, at least once in a lifetime, to perform a ritual conversation with a person of a much higher rank, and discuss particular subjects which are determined by respective ranks. The date and content of the conversation would then be a solid part of one's achievements, in a way that would resemble a Terran diploma. Ancient Vasudan tombs have been confirmed to have inscriptions related to this ritual.<br /> <br /> The truth may be within a combination of these two interpretations, which both differ quite a lot from what we've experienced in our own history. Imagine one of our ancestors getting the chance to talk to a king or ruler, and imagine the tomb having an inscription about that conversation as if it were a remarkable achievement, something that heirs would talk about for decades.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Fifth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> As a space faring species, could the Vasudans see the light of technological advance being darkened and shrouded by a veil of superstition? It appears that they potentially could. The Vasudans, regardless of their rank, take ancient texts and lessons from the past very seriously. Their concept of the past itself deserves its own explanation, as it constitutes a key to understanding this phenomenon.<br /> <br /> The main point here is that the words we use to describe these sources of knowledge for the Vasudan people diverge quite a bit from their actual meaning, as seen from their perspective. We talk about Vasudan mythology and prophecies, and by using these words, we carry on implications that don't match the real values of these from their perspective. In Earth's history, a mythology was essentially the religion of a defunct civilization, while a prophecy is something tied to supernatural powers, and therefore very weak once analyzed with reason in mind. This is absolutely not what Vasudan 'mythology' and 'prophecies' are about; both of them, while still vague in their words and open to dozens of different interpretations, are tied to reality in a way far greater than most ancient texts and inscriptions in Terran history.<br /> <br /> The paradox is that we've been influenced more by religion and superstition than the Vasudans have been, yet we took separate paths that ultimately led to our situation being reversed. Our own mythologies referred to hypothetical creatures and stories, while Vasudan 'mythologies' combined supernatural elements with primitive science, in an effort to explain natural phenomena and the intrinsic fundamentals of nature. How could this happen, how come we've ended up pretending to be the rational individuals, unlike our superstitious counterparts?<br /> <br /> Once again, it's a subject with multiple hypotheses and no clear explanations or answers can be given. Researchers, however, point to the Vasudans' religious and political stability over millennia as the main reason behind this difference. While incredibly varied on their own, Vasudan cultures share a common root dating back to millennia ago, and this may have allowed tales and scripts to be carried over hundreds of generations with no changes whatsoever to their influence. It's not the case for ancient Terran cultures, which were geographically constrained and have undergone radical changes on the scale of decades, not millennia. It goes without saying that, as the social and religious momentum in their society is maintained, ancient texts acquire more and more importance thanks to their age.<br /> <br /> This view, however, is not shared by many researchers who still see superstition as the source of these Vasudan behaviors.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Sixth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> Regardless of the Galactic Terran Alliance's monitoring of all texts and publications concerning the Vasudans, overwhelming evidence about their Parliament being seriously corrupted is hardly debatable. Such corruption is widespread and affects the lives of the Vasudan people in ways that, if hypothetically applied to the GTA itself, could fit the description of a not-so-benevolent dictatorship.<br /> <br /> Corruption has been confirmed to have characterized the Parliament for a significant portion of its history, though sudden increases have been experienced - based on the information that we have - following the colonization of nearby systems. As reported before in this manuscript, the Vasudans are more dependent on space colonization than we are, and it's no secret that something as critically important as the discovery of subspace would have tremendous implications. Early Vasudan subspace travel was severely regulated and inaccessible to most, and the Parliament worked hard to maintain the economic balances of such a great discovery. Space colonization has increased corruption within the Parliament as a tool to control the flow of resources and the consequent influence of those responsible for the harvesting of said resources. The war made things even worse, as military elites put pressure on a number of political debates for things that seem more strictly related to their attempt to gain more influence than actually make decisions relevant to the war effort. Despite all of these major drawbacks, the Parliament as a political infrastructure performs its job, and we have learned more than once that its corruption isn't always a sign of weakness. The background noise caused by deep conflicts of interest does not prevent this entity from ruling over the Vasudan Empire and responding to actions taken by the GTA.<br /> <br /> If we were to analyze the true potential of this phenomenon, we'd temporarily have to disregard the current political setting of the PVE. The current situation is atypical, as a war with another species undoubtedly makes certain interests fall to the wayside in favor of the struggle for survival, but what would happen in a different scenario? If anything, we estimate that the influence of certain elements within the Parliament may be so high that they could secretly divert resources, workforce and combatants to their own factions, if they wanted to. The institution is structured in a way that would allow a parallel fleet to the PVN to be formed and grown, albeit under specific circumstances.<br /> <br /> [[Category: Series Resurrecta]]</div>

To do so would help define the meaning of a military’s claim to 'victory' on a battlefield that spans an entire system.<br /> <br /> The days of the Great War are long gone. At that point, most of you weren't even born yet, and those among you who were would have been infants still learning how to walk and talk.<br /> <br /> People like me ''do'' remember that unique sense of terror. We were coming out of fourteen long years of conventional conflict with another species. The odds of two species encountering each other in space, let alone fighting each other, were so miniscule we couldn't even calculate them.<br /> <br /> Then the Shivans appeared. They redefined the concepts of threat, destruction, invasion and survival. They taught us what these words really meant, and made us realize that what counted as conquering a star system, or winning a war with another species, are both intrinsically dependent on who's the winner. A winner like the Shivans won't just achieve space superiority. It will also wipe all life and civilization from a planet, just as it did with Vasuda Prime.<br /> <br /> The sudden discovery of yet another species, the Ancients, allowed us to prevent Earth's fall to such a fate. <br /> <br /> Earth, a homeworld you have never visited, yet perceive as something important but only remotely tied to your life.<br /> <br /> The past is a key factor in shaping the future. Knowledge of the past will help the GTVA regain and maintain its glory. Some of you may have already heard the term 'The Lost Generation.' It is increasingly used as a way to describe those like you who have never been to Sol. Worry not, for you are not Lost. You will lead the future of humanity, which no longer needs its homeworld to survive and prosper.<br /> <br /> Let the new homeworld, our 'Neo Terra' of sorts, be everywhere you'll be calling home in the days, months, and years to come.<br /> <br /> ===[September 2nd, 2341] Report of Akheton Corporation Delegation to the Imperial Palace===<br /> For the attention of Emperor Khonsu II:<br /> <br /> It is with great honor and pleasure that we introduce the finalized report and digital model of Project Sobek. The tenth annex of this confidential document is focused on the possibility of implementing beam weapon technology in this design.<br /> <br /> As you are already aware, the concept of this design is based on declassified reports of the SCv Moloch, a 'corvette' class of warship encountered in the late stages of the Great War. <br /> <br /> At first erroneously interpreted as a large cruiser, the Moloch was something else. The Moloch is an intermediate class combining the speed and flexibility of cruisers with the firepower and endurance of destroyers. We have designated this new class ‘corvette’.<br /> <br /> It proved to be so versatile that joint teams of Vasudan and Terran engineers analyzed all available reports on the few ships of this class that had been encountered. Subsequently the concept of the corvette class was introduced to strategists.<br /> <br /> Unlike the Shivan design we based our work on, what will likely become the GVC-V Sobek lacks a fighter bay. Our reports and tests proved that the inclusion of a fighter bay would significantly decrease the hull integrity of the warship without adding any tactical capabilities other than hosting a wing of small-to-medium fighters.<br /> <br /> Compared to the Moloch, however, the Sobek’s firepower is considerably greater and the sleek design is expected to make the Sobek more efficient in combat, both in attack and defense. This is a similar result to that of the Terran Deimos, which is also expected to be manufactured very soon. We believe the Sobek will fulfil a number of roles the Deimos may be too logistically complex to perform.<br /> <br /> Both ships will be vital for the future of Vasudan and Terran fleets. In our effort to renew our fleets, the Sobek will be the key to efficiencies in strategies, logistics and combat. Under the right conditions, as tested in the attached war simulations, two ships of this class can compete directly with any known destroyer and come out victorious.<br /> <br /> The final production phase awaits Your approval, Emperor.<br /> <br /> ===[March 5th, 2335] Epitaph in a devastated Ancient settlement in Altair IV===<br /> ''Discovered by Vasudan survivors from the Vasuda Prime massacre.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> &quot;A lone survivor joined us two Glorious Homeworld cycles ago, the only survivor from an entire colony of our people to escape from a devastated system. It was truly a miracle.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It was so unbelievable at first that, for a moment, we thought it was bait, a way for the Destroyers to expose our settlement of survivors and make its location known. It ultimately turned out to be a genuine spacecraft of our race, coming from several beloved star systems distant.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The survivor piloting it was severely wounded, but we managed to provide basic cures. Among the data and archives carried in the approaching emergency spacecraft were testimonies of a prosperity long gone. We also discovered how the Destroyers employed [Trains of Doom] in that system, as well as in the neighbouring systems of our once mighty empire. These massive convoys of ‘Trains of Doom’ were difficult to detect and monitor. Days after their disappearance, they would be followed by large Destroyer armadas, attacking our people from flanks and even from behind, in systems one or two [Subspace] jumps away from the frontlines.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The reports from our people in that colony provided us with significant intelligence. They had learned that in many systems the Destroyers had hidden away fleets capable of staying in stasis for millennia, before their reactivation by a Train of Doom. Once reactivated, the fleets would join their main force and eliminate whatever trace of our once beautiful civilization they detected.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;These same awakened fleets were seen employing a bombing tactic never seen before in the invasion, a weapon of terror that could use subspace to... [indecipherable due to excessive superficial damage.]&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The survivor, messenger of a doomed branch of our fallen Empire, ultimately passed away from a disease we were no longer able to cure with what little we now have. Its treatment would have needed mere minutes in our old, great epochs of prosperity and glory. If anything, the pilot was lucky. Unlike us, he will not have to live through the last few remaining days of existence, eye witnessing our complete extinction not only as a civilization, but as a species.&quot;<br /> <br /> Epitaph in a devastated Ancient settlement in Altair IV<br /> Discovered by Vasudan survivors from the Vasuda Prime massacre on March 5th, 2335<br /> <br /> ===[February 18th, 2320] Excerpt from &quot;An introduction to subspace, the great physical wonder&quot;===<br /> Subspace and gravity appear to be connected to each other, albeit in a somewhat complex relationship. Although most of the features of subspace are still a mystery to us, we have observed a strong connection between it and gravitational fields. It doesn't necessarily mean that all of subspace requires the presence of gravity fields to allow travel, as ably demonstrated by interstellar jump nodes, but it shows how, at the very least, the roots of this phenomenon are connected to gravity.<br /> <br /> <br /> Since the very beginning of subspace exploitation, it has been noted that the amount of energy necessary for an intrasystem jump is proportional to the intensity of the gravitational field, and its distribution with respect to a given craft's route. For example, jumping towards the center of a star system requires less energy compared to a journey away from said center. The difference in terms of energy required is negligible for modern subspace drives, but it was a major factor in early experiments. It has also been proven that proximity to an interstellar jump node does not act as an auxiliary gravity source. Therefore, jump nodes do not affect the energy required for intrasystem jumps. <br /> <br /> Intersystem jumps follow very different rules. The energy required for such jumps is way beyond the capabilities of small spacecraft, and poses a challenge for even the largest ships. However, it is not proportional to the distance between two stable jump nodes. This leads one to assume, as described in greater detail in later chapters of this publication, that while intrasystem jumps are vastly affected by gravity, intersystem jumps are not. Instead, intersystem jumps rely on some kind of subspace ‘flow’, which, once entered, allows ships to pass through it with little effort beyond the energy expended from entering subspace. Gravity seems to play no role in this flow, as the gravitational field of connected star systems is negligible at best during travel.<br /> There's no influence from external gravity sources, either, because the subspace flow passes through interstellar space, whose density is low. Further in the publication, hypotheses and experiments showing the existence of a subspace flow will be shown...<br /> <br /> ===[April 13th, 2365] Excerpt from the book 'Tales of a Wounded Great War Pilot'===<br /> We maintained secrecy over the Iksura freighters and their colossal cargo capacity for quite some time. The reason? It was deeply counterproductive in post Great War time to admit how inferior we were compared to the Shivans in fields other than offensive power. Well, that's my own hypothesis, and who knows if there's something else behind it.<br /> <br /> One thing I can tell for sure: facing them in combat was as frightening as facing a destroyer or similar warship. You're there, out in the void of space, pretending to be shooting at a sitting duck, except the sitting duck and its cargo are more well armored, armed and protected than one of our own Fenris-class cruisers. Think about that, let it sink in, then add one important factor to the equation: a jamming field whose strength and range would effectively prevent any sensor lock from being gained. No missiles that required a lock could be launched against these... Doomtrains. None at all.<br /> <br /> A jamming that would not only compromise your offensive capacity, but it would also cut you off from your allies, their messages, their calls for help and so on. That was a powerful weapon, too, at times more frightening than defensive turrets. There was a drawback to the Doomtrains, however: as we suspected, and later tested directly in combat, the destruction of any of the components in the chain, including the towing freighter itself, would have triggered a chain reaction causing the immediate destruction of all following units. The mechanism by which this happened, according to undisclosed information, was probably due to an automated Shivan mechanism that would self destruct each lost component, thus preventing its capture by any kind of enemy.<br /> <br /> We then assumed that only the most sensitive cargo would be carried by Doomtrains. Attempts to even try and scan the cargo proved impossible, due to the intense jamming field and the self-destruct mechanism. Never in our interstellar conflicts have we seen such a mysterious, deceptive and intriguing freighter. It's not the ship type we would normally link to all these characteristics, as we believe actual warships to be more than a threat. But what if the Iksuras were responsible for maintaining entire Shivan fleets with their precious cargo? That would make them second only to the Lucifer in terms of strategic importance. That's the lesson we learned at Ross 128.<br /> <br /> ===[August 5th, 2337] Classified transcript from the interrogation of a Hammer of Light fanatic===<br /> &quot;To what degree were you involved in the final efforts of the Alliance in countering the Shivans in Ross 128?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I was deployed by my guru to investigate Shivan activity in the system.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;How was this activity carried out?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I was the pilot of a retrofitted Seshat scout fighter. I had enough supplies in my spacecraft to perform a reconnaissance mission lasting an entire month. I then staged my loss in a reconnaissance operation, self destructed my craft, and provided my guru with the information he needed. One of our comrades picked me up and organized my transfer back to safe systems.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;What kind of information have you been able to provide, and by what means?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We learned that the Destroyers, as per our prophecies, were not defeated. There was something else besides the Lucifer controlling them. It was simply replacing the Lucifer's lost control. It then would have conquered Vasudan and Terran space, succeeding where the Lucifer finally failed.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I see. Continue...&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Those were rough times for our ideals. We seemed doomed, oblivion the only possible outcome. Millennia of prophecies almost seemed like painful illusions, yet the truth was even greater than our expectations. That truth had to be delivered back to our systems and stop the mass defections and suicides among Hammer of Light loyalists.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Were you aware of other activities being carried out in the frontline?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Yes, I know that some of our own loyalists were onboard the PVD Imhotep. Others were spread amongst the members of the battle group. Every single ship had some of our faithful onboard. Some of us managed to slow down joint Vasudan-Terran operations, performing surgical strikes and driving PVE and GTA strategists into chaos. They were ultimately fooled into linking those failures to new Destroyer designs we hadn't seen before in the conflict. That allowed us to go unnoticed for weeks.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Describe one such act of sabotage to joint Vasudan-Terran operations.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It happened days after the destruction of the Lucifer. Some of our loyalists were sent to deal with a Cain cruiser, in Delta Serpentis, which seemed very well guarded for a ship of its class. We believed it was the sign of something greater, and the moment we saw the Shivans using a previously unseen weapon, we realized it was time to become messengers of a new truth. We haven't stopped ever since.&quot;<br /> <br /> ===[January 24th, 2368] Civilian Media Investigation Report &quot;Questions they won't let us answer about the Shivans&quot;===<br /> ''Aired on most public GTVA channels ''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> If we really want to get to the bottom of the problem, the reason behind all of the big unanswered questions, we have to go back to where everything started.<br /> <br /> If you're guessing what star we're showing right now, you're guessing right, it's Ross 128. Don't be fooled by this fiery glow coming from a red dwarf. The mysteries that lay in this system are far greater than previously thought.<br /> <br /> Some of you watching this episode are Capellan refugees, looking for a new place to call home. You might as well wonder what lies between the tragedy of your homeworlds' collapse and the source of the Shivan incursions in the Great War. To date, there are no clear - let alone official - explanations on how the Great War actually ended. There's the majestic, glorious end - that of the Lucifer - but there was an actual end to the war, the last encounter between a Shivan and a Terran or Vasudan ship.<br /> <br /> Details on this last encounter are unknown. We have no idea how it took place, we know it happened in this system, somewhere in the void of space, yet it led to the disappearance of the Shivans for over three decades. We still hear from scientists who believe the Shivans used interstellar jump drives capable of not relying on stable jump nodes, proving how such drives may theoretically be possible, but how accurate are these hypotheses?<br /> <br /> Furthermore, we believe that hiding the truth from honest GTVA citizens is an insult to the sacrifices committed by our loved ones in the past forty-five years of galactic conflict and challenging reconstruction efforts. We may be as resilient as phoenixes rising from ashes, but at what point do we accept the ignorance of the past, especially when said ignorance is driven by somebody? How can we possibly live our lives and even plan to reopen the Sol jump node using Knossos-derived technology, if we're so unsure about what's behind us?<br /> <br /> Should we even plan to go this far, knowing that, even if it is sealed from the rest of colonized space, Sol is - as far as we know and can extrapolate - a safe place?<br /> <br /> ===[November 14th, 2352] Memories of a veteran from the 53rd Hammerheads===<br /> ''Written on his personal diary, recovered by the heirs after his death, on September 18th, 2388''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Shortly after our final victory over the Lucifer, I felt relieved about the possibility of not facing the Shivans ever again. This feeling has changed over the years, of course, effectively turning me into what I am right now. I am now obsessed, puzzled by what I, for a long time, believed was but a memory of the past. It now chases me, over and over, even in my dreams. I seem to be the only person around here who spends most of the day thinking about what lies beyond the sealed jump node.<br /> <br /> The victory over such an enemy came at a price going far beyond the meaning of what we learned from past history, when it comes to conflicts. There was a military victory, at least a local one, and that was the moment the Lucifer fell to our attack aimed at its multiple reactors. But a seal was imposed, and one system had to be cut off from the others, dismantling decades of space colonization in fractions of a second. That was the ultimate cost of our victory.<br /> <br /> We have no idea about the evolution of the conflict on the other side of the node. There are many possibilities, all driven by questions I will never be able to answer, as no one probably will for many years to come. I do wonder, however, if the war for survival on the other side had a similar ending to what happened here, in the form of a second, maybe a third or fourth, sealing of a system from the cosmic net of subspace flow.<br /> <br /> Is this the lesson learnt from the Destroyers? Disappear into the oblivion of endless space, with your species going extinct, or merely slow down the process by self isolating? Is isolation the final solution over a galactic conflict with an enemy that won't come for your resources, instead overwhelms you with technology and numbers, then aims to cancel your entire civilization with no trace whatsoever of a contact, a will for peace?<br /> <br /> Are the survivors on the other side, providing that they're still alive, in a chasing marathon with destiny, a fight for survival where cutting the branches of a colossal tree is the only way to preserve life?<br /> <br /> ==[[The Spirit of Ptah]]==<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] First excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> One thing that may be more due to common stereotypes than actual proof and evidence of their actions, is their supposed tendency to give individual lives less of a value compared to us. Suicides, kamikaze attempts and possibly brave actions with no consideration of the possible consequences, all seem to be more frequent in Vasudan culture compared to our own tendencies. An equal stereotype from their end sees us as greedy and unable to work together for a common, greater goal, as we are doomed to let our individual interests overcome it.<br /> <br /> The ongoing war with this alien species leads us - if we want to analyze their culture objectively - to view their behaviors in combat separately from what they do in civilian life. From what we understand, Vasudans with roles and responsibilities have enormous psychological pressure, regardless of their skills. They're meritocratic, in the sense that they seem to ignore all internal differences with respect to social rank, thus allowing the most skilled and talented of them to have notable careers in the context of their respective castes, and only the highest of ranks are predominantly driven by inheritance.<br /> <br /> Vasudans with specific roles in politics and the academic world take this pressure very, very seriously. Governors failing to achieve specific pre-set objectives of their political mandates may oftentimes end their careers in dishonored retirement, or even commit suicide. Lecturers and researchers whose works are proven to be weak or wrong under strict checks within their communities may also end their careers so abruptly. All of this happens in our own culture, too, but more rarely, thereby leading to rigid stereotypes on both sides.<br /> <br /> While, from the Vasudans' perspective, all of this may be an interpretation of death as a necessary means to obtain honor and fulfill some particular goal, this can be actually interpreted as their way to adore life and what it offers.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Second excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> A lot has been written and said about the Vasudan language and its countless dialects, with stereotypes indicating such forms of expressions as absurdly complicated, as words may change - even radically so - depending on social rank, the distance to Vasuda Prime, the underlying circumstances of the conversation and myriad other factors.<br /> <br /> This extra complexity, which adds to the overall complexity of the many thousands of dialects spoken by the Vasudans, may seem difficult to understand and justify by trying to relate it to modern Terran languages. It's commonly interpreted, in fact, as yet another sign of ritualism and superstition injected by the Vasudans into virtually any endeavor in their lives, with the language being just one of the many examples supporting this thesis. As most linguists will agree, however, it doesn't differ that much from what our own languages have been based on in the past few millennia. While the overall complexity of these variations wasn't comparable to that of Vasudan languages, we have many notable examples in our own history proving that, unlike what the stereotypes seem to indicate, adding complexity to text and conversations is not a purely Vasudan tendency.<br /> <br /> To be more specific, in Terran history, with only a few exceptions still persisting today, languages and dialects have taken into account contexts that would cause them to be difficult to understand under modern circumstances. One such factor was social rank, with differences depending on who was talking and who said person was talking to. All known examples were constrained by the fact that they were spoken by natives with extremely limited technological capabilities, as they obviously weren't space faring populations, but the fundamentals we extrapolate from archeological findings point to an apparent convergence.<br /> <br /> Who knows with any certainty? Perhaps, had Terran history proceeded differently, we would be speaking with that same extra reverential complexity that the Vasudan language is built upon.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Third excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> Vasuda Prime, the fourth planet of the Vasuda system, is the homeworld of this species at war with us. Unlike we Terrans, who managed to establish colonies on many planets and satellites of Sol, the Vasudans had to face a much greater challenge, as Vasuda Prime is the only major celestial body compatible with exploitable colonization in that system, so they've relied a lot on jump nodes to found new colonies in nearby systems. The discovery of subspace, in fact, was demonstrably much more of a blessing to the Vasudans than it was for us, and this is mostly due to Sol's peculiarities. We don't have the same need to expand our hegemony to other systems. This is one of the reasons why many suspect that the war was doomed to start regardless of the outcome of the two species’ first contacts, though this is still open to debate.<br /> <br /> The planet is a rather tough environment, and many question how the Vasudans evolved and developed in such a scenario. Its landmass is divided into two major supercontinents which underwent a rifting event only a few million years ago, and are still moving apart from each other. The current geodynamic setting of Vasuda is similar, although far from equal, to that seen on Earth between the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras. Much like with Earth over 250 million years ago, the formation of a single supercontinent - Pangaea, in our case - may lead to radical changes in the environments, with the expansion of deserts in the inner regions resulting in planetwide mass extinctions. Vasuda Prime hosted a colossal desert prior to the rifting event, caused by the collision of smaller continents, and even now, as the two major supercontinents are diverging, the surface is still mostly dominated by deserts. The Vasudans are believed to have evolved in coastal regions of the southern supercontinent, whose climate was more temperate, though still challenging. These geodynamical settings and the timing of past continental collisions have allowed Vasuda Prime to host hydrocarbon reserves at least one order of magnitude larger than those on Earth, and the exploitation of such reserves at the right stage of Vasudan history has allowed the technological boost that ultimately led them to become a space-faring species.<br /> <br /> Unlike Terrans, who have developed more on the technology branch than on an evolutionary scale in the past few thousand years, the Vasudans appear to have experienced an anomalous change a few millennia ago, the origin of which is still debated.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Fourth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> The most puzzling and contradictory perception of the Vasudans is the one that sees them as soldiers who would blindly follow any kind of order given by their general. The reality couldn't be any more different than this perception, supported by fragmented and anecdotal evidence.<br /> <br /> Though their respect towards authorities is unquestionable, applying to many endeavors beyond warfare, each Vasudan is asked to be judgmental and follow precise customs and courtesies to let someone with a higher rank know that they disagree about a choice. This occurrence is rare, but whenever it happens, it exposes a new facet of Vasudan culture and a way to interpret the formalities of authority in a more pragmatic manner. There are limited circumstances where any Vasudan could object to an extremely highly ranked member of their military or Parliament, and do so in a way that would seem absurd to us Terrans. Even in the greatest democracies of our past, the interaction between simple citizens or soldiers and their rules has always had some sort of filter, and our modern era is no exception, despite the GTA's status as a stable and solid democracy.<br /> <br /> Where does the difference lie, then? How come a supposed stricter respect of higher authorities also accounts for interactions between Vasudans whose ranks are vastly different? Some interpret this as a legacy of past times, when the lack of technology allowed more direct interactions between Vasudans of different ranks, though strictly regulated by precise rituals. According to a different interpretation, this may be due to one specific and ancient ritual of Vasudan culture, which used to be very common in small villages with one or two leaders. This inherited tradition expects each Vasudan, at least once in a lifetime, to perform a ritual conversation with a person of a much higher rank, and discuss particular subjects which are determined by respective ranks. The date and content of the conversation would then be a solid part of one's achievements, in a way that would resemble a Terran diploma. Ancient Vasudan tombs have been confirmed to have inscriptions related to this ritual.<br /> <br /> The truth may be within a combination of these two interpretations, which both differ quite a lot from what we've experienced in our own history. Imagine one of our ancestors getting the chance to talk to a king or ruler, and imagine the tomb having an inscription about that conversation as if it were a remarkable achievement, something that heirs would talk about for decades.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Fifth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> As a space faring species, could the Vasudans see the light of technological advance being darkened and shrouded by a veil of superstition? It appears that they potentially could. The Vasudans, regardless of their rank, take ancient texts and lessons from the past very seriously. Their concept of the past itself deserves its own explanation, as it constitutes a key to understanding this phenomenon.<br /> <br /> The main point here is that the words we use to describe these sources of knowledge for the Vasudan people diverge quite a bit from their actual meaning, as seen from their perspective. We talk about Vasudan mythology and prophecies, and by using these words, we carry on implications that don't match the real values of these from their perspective. In Earth's history, a mythology was essentially the religion of a defunct civilization, while a prophecy is something tied to supernatural powers, and therefore very weak once analyzed with reason in mind. This is absolutely not what Vasudan 'mythology' and 'prophecies' are about; both of them, while still vague in their words and open to dozens of different interpretations, are tied to reality in a way far greater than most ancient texts and inscriptions in Terran history.<br /> <br /> The paradox is that we've been influenced more by religion and superstition than the Vasudans have been, yet we took separate paths that ultimately led to our situation being reversed. Our own mythologies referred to hypothetical creatures and stories, while Vasudan 'mythologies' combined supernatural elements with primitive science, in an effort to explain natural phenomena and the intrinsic fundamentals of nature. How could this happen, how come we've ended up pretending to be the rational individuals, unlike our superstitious counterparts?<br /> <br /> Once again, it's a subject with multiple hypotheses and no clear explanations or answers can be given. Researchers, however, point to the Vasudans' religious and political stability over millennia as the main reason behind this difference. While incredibly varied on their own, Vasudan cultures share a common root dating back to millennia ago, and this may have allowed tales and scripts to be carried over hundreds of generations with no changes whatsoever to their influence. It's not the case for ancient Terran cultures, which were geographically constrained and have undergone radical changes on the scale of decades, not millennia. It goes without saying that, as the social and religious momentum in their society is maintained, ancient texts acquire more and more importance thanks to their age.<br /> <br /> This view, however, is not shared by many researchers who still see superstition as the source of these Vasudan behaviors.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Sixth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> Regardless of the Galactic Terran Alliance's monitoring of all texts and publications concerning the Vasudans, overwhelming evidence about their Parliament being seriously corrupted is hardly debatable. Such corruption is widespread and affects the lives of the Vasudan people in ways that, if hypothetically applied to the GTA itself, could fit the description of a not-so-benevolent dictatorship.<br /> <br /> Corruption has been confirmed to have characterized the Parliament for a significant portion of its history, though sudden increases have been experienced - based on the information that we have - following the colonization of nearby systems. As reported before in this manuscript, the Vasudans are more dependent on space colonization than we are, and it's no secret that something as critically important as the discovery of subspace would have tremendous implications. Early Vasudan subspace travel was severely regulated and inaccessible to most, and the Parliament worked hard to maintain the economic balances of such a great discovery. Space colonization has increased corruption within the Parliament as a tool to control the flow of resources and the consequent influence of those responsible for the harvesting of said resources. The war made things even worse, as military elites put pressure on a number of political debates for things that seem more strictly related to their attempt to gain more influence than actually make decisions relevant to the war effort. Despite all of these major drawbacks, the Parliament as a political infrastructure performs its job, and we have learned more than once that its corruption isn't always a sign of weakness. The background noise caused by deep conflicts of interest does not prevent this entity from ruling over the Vasudan Empire and responding to actions taken by the GTA.<br /> <br /> If we were to analyze the true potential of this phenomenon, we'd temporarily have to disregard the current political setting of the PVE. The current situation is atypical, as a war with another species undoubtedly makes certain interests fall to the wayside in favor of the struggle for survival, but what would happen in a different scenario? If anything, we estimate that the influence of certain elements within the Parliament may be so high that they could secretly divert resources, workforce and combatants to their own factions, if they wanted to. The institution is structured in a way that would allow a parallel fleet to the PVN to be formed and grown, albeit under specific circumstances.<br /> <br /> [[Category: Series Resurrecta]]</div>

To do so would help define the meaning of a military’s claim to 'victory' on a battlefield that spans an entire system.<br /> <br /> The days of the Great War are long gone. At that point, most of you weren't even born yet, and those among you who were would have been infants still learning how to walk and talk.<br /> <br /> People like me ''do'' remember that unique sense of terror. We were coming out of fourteen long years of conventional conflict with another species. The odds of two species encountering each other in space, let alone fighting each other, were so miniscule we couldn't even calculate them.<br /> <br /> Then the Shivans appeared. They redefined the concepts of threat, destruction, invasion and survival. They taught us what these words really meant, and made us realize that what counted as conquering a star system, or winning a war with another species, are both intrinsically dependent on who's the winner. A winner like the Shivans won't just achieve space superiority. It will also wipe all life and civilization from a planet, just as it did with Vasuda Prime.<br /> <br /> The sudden discovery of yet another species, the Ancients, allowed us to prevent Earth's fall to such a fate. <br /> <br /> Earth, a homeworld you have never visited, yet perceive as something important but only remotely tied to your life.<br /> <br /> The past is a key factor in shaping the future. Knowledge of the past will help the GTVA regain and maintain its glory. Some of you may have already heard the term 'The Lost Generation.' It is increasingly used as a way to describe those like you who have never been to Sol. Worry not, for you are not Lost. You will lead the future of humanity, which no longer needs its homeworld to survive and prosper.<br /> <br /> Let the new homeworld, our 'Neo Terra' of sorts, be everywhere you'll be calling home in the days, months, and years to come.<br /> <br /> ===[September 2nd, 2341] Report of Akheton Corporation Delegation to the Imperial Palace===<br /> For the attention of Emperor Khonsu II:<br /> <br /> It is with great honor and pleasure that we introduce the finalized report and digital model of Project Sobek. The tenth annex of this confidential document is focused on the possibility of implementing beam weapon technology in this design.<br /> <br /> As you are already aware, the concept of this design is based on declassified reports of the SCv Moloch, a 'corvette' class of warship encountered in the late stages of the Great War. <br /> <br /> At first erroneously interpreted as a large cruiser, the Moloch was something else. The Moloch is an intermediate class combining the speed and flexibility of cruisers with the firepower and endurance of destroyers. We have designated this new class ‘corvette’.<br /> <br /> It proved to be so versatile that joint teams of Vasudan and Terran engineers analyzed all available reports on the few ships of this class that had been encountered. Subsequently the concept of the corvette class was introduced to strategists.<br /> <br /> Unlike the Shivan design we based our work on, what will likely become the GVC-V Sobek lacks a fighter bay. Our reports and tests proved that the inclusion of a fighter bay would significantly decrease the hull integrity of the warship without adding any tactical capabilities other than hosting a wing of small-to-medium fighters.<br /> <br /> Compared to the Moloch, however, the Sobek’s firepower is considerably greater and the sleek design is expected to make the Sobek more efficient in combat, both in attack and defense. This is a similar result to that of the Terran Deimos, which is also expected to be manufactured very soon. We believe the Sobek will fulfil a number of roles the Deimos may be too logistically complex to perform.<br /> <br /> Both ships will be vital for the future of Vasudan and Terran fleets. In our effort to renew our fleets, the Sobek will be the key to efficiencies in strategies, logistics and combat. Under the right conditions, as tested in the attached war simulations, two ships of this class can compete directly with any known destroyer and come out victorious.<br /> <br /> <br /> The final production phase awaits Your approval, Emperor.<br /> <br /> ===[March 5th, 2335] Epitaph in a devastated Ancient settlement in Altair IV===<br /> ''Discovered by Vasudan survivors from the Vasuda Prime massacre.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> &quot;A lone survivor joined us two Glorious Homeworld cycles ago, the only survivor from an entire colony of our people to escape from a devastated system. It was truly a miracle.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It was so unbelievable at first that, for a moment, we thought it was bait, a way for the Destroyers to expose our settlement of survivors and make its location known. It ultimately turned out to be a genuine spacecraft of our race, coming from several beloved star systems distant.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The survivor piloting it was severely wounded, but we managed to provide basic cures. Among the data and archives carried in the approaching emergency spacecraft were testimonies of a prosperity long gone. We also discovered how the Destroyers employed [Trains of Doom] in that system, as well as in the neighbouring systems of our once mighty empire. These massive convoys of ‘Trains of Doom’ were difficult to detect and monitor. Days after their disappearance, they would be followed by large Destroyer armadas, attacking our people from flanks and even from behind, in systems one or two [Subspace] jumps away from the frontlines.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The reports from our people in that colony provided us with significant intelligence. They had learned that in many systems the Destroyers had hidden away fleets capable of staying in stasis for millennia, before their reactivation by a Train of Doom. Once reactivated, the fleets would join their main force and eliminate whatever trace of our once beautiful civilization they detected.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;These same awakened fleets were seen employing a bombing tactic never seen before in the invasion, a weapon of terror that could use subspace to... [indecipherable due to excessive superficial damage.]&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The survivor, messenger of a doomed branch of our fallen Empire, ultimately passed away from a disease we were no longer able to cure with what little we now have. Its treatment would have needed mere minutes in our old, great epochs of prosperity and glory. If anything, the pilot was lucky. Unlike us, he will not have to live through the last few remaining days of existence, eye witnessing our complete extinction not only as a civilization, but as a species.&quot;<br /> <br /> Epitaph in a devastated Ancient settlement in Altair IV<br /> Discovered by Vasudan survivors from the Vasuda Prime massacre on March 5th, 2335<br /> <br /> ===[February 18th, 2320] Excerpt from &quot;An introduction to subspace, the great physical wonder&quot;===<br /> Subspace and gravity appear to be connected to each other, albeit in a somewhat complex relationship. Although most of the features of subspace are still a mystery to us, we have observed a strong connection between it and gravitational fields. It doesn't necessarily mean that all of subspace requires the presence of gravity fields to allow travel, as ably demonstrated by interstellar jump nodes, but it shows how, at the very least, the roots of this phenomenon are connected to gravity.<br /> <br /> <br /> Since the very beginning of subspace exploitation, it has been noted that the amount of energy necessary for an intrasystem jump is proportional to the intensity of the gravitational field, and its distribution with respect to a given craft's route. For example, jumping towards the center of a star system requires less energy compared to a journey away from said center. The difference in terms of energy required is negligible for modern subspace drives, but it was a major factor in early experiments. It has also been proven that proximity to an interstellar jump node does not act as an auxiliary gravity source. Therefore, jump nodes do not affect the energy required for intrasystem jumps. <br /> <br /> Intersystem jumps follow very different rules. The energy required for such jumps is way beyond the capabilities of small spacecraft, and poses a challenge for even the largest ships. However, it is not proportional to the distance between two stable jump nodes. This leads one to assume, as described in greater detail in later chapters of this publication, that while intrasystem jumps are vastly affected by gravity, intersystem jumps are not. Instead, intersystem jumps rely on some kind of subspace ‘flow’, which, once entered, allows ships to pass through it with little effort beyond the energy expended from entering subspace. Gravity seems to play no role in this flow, as the gravitational field of connected star systems is negligible at best during travel.<br /> There's no influence from external gravity sources, either, because the subspace flow passes through interstellar space, whose density is low. Further in the publication, hypotheses and experiments showing the existence of a subspace flow will be shown...<br /> <br /> ===[April 13th, 2365] Excerpt from the book 'Tales of a Wounded Great War Pilot'===<br /> We maintained secrecy over the Iksura freighters and their colossal cargo capacity for quite some time. The reason? It was deeply counterproductive in post Great War time to admit how inferior we were compared to the Shivans in fields other than offensive power. Well, that's my own hypothesis, and who knows if there's something else behind it.<br /> <br /> One thing I can tell for sure: facing them in combat was as frightening as facing a destroyer or similar warship. You're there, out in the void of space, pretending to be shooting at a sitting duck, except the sitting duck and its cargo are more well armored, armed and protected than one of our own Fenris-class cruisers. Think about that, let it sink in, then add one important factor to the equation: a jamming field whose strength and range would effectively prevent any sensor lock from being gained. No missiles that required a lock could be launched against these... Doomtrains. None at all.<br /> <br /> A jamming that would not only compromise your offensive capacity, but it would also cut you off from your allies, their messages, their calls for help and so on. That was a powerful weapon, too, at times more frightening than defensive turrets. There was a drawback to the Doomtrains, however: as we suspected, and later tested directly in combat, the destruction of any of the components in the chain, including the towing freighter itself, would have triggered a chain reaction causing the immediate destruction of all following units. The mechanism by which this happened, according to undisclosed information, was probably due to an automated Shivan mechanism that would self destruct each lost component, thus preventing its capture by any kind of enemy.<br /> <br /> We then assumed that only the most sensitive cargo would be carried by Doomtrains. Attempts to even try and scan the cargo proved impossible, due to the intense jamming field and the self-destruct mechanism. Never in our interstellar conflicts have we seen such a mysterious, deceptive and intriguing freighter. It's not the ship type we would normally link to all these characteristics, as we believe actual warships to be more than a threat. But what if the Iksuras were responsible for maintaining entire Shivan fleets with their precious cargo? That would make them second only to the Lucifer in terms of strategic importance. That's the lesson we learned at Ross 128.<br /> <br /> ===[August 5th, 2337] Classified transcript from the interrogation of a Hammer of Light fanatic===<br /> &quot;To what degree were you involved in the final efforts of the Alliance in countering the Shivans in Ross 128?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I was deployed by my guru to investigate Shivan activity in the system.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;How was this activity carried out?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I was the pilot of a retrofitted Seshat scout fighter. I had enough supplies in my spacecraft to perform a reconnaissance mission lasting an entire month. I then staged my loss in a reconnaissance operation, self destructed my craft, and provided my guru with the information he needed. One of our comrades picked me up and organized my transfer back to safe systems.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;What kind of information have you been able to provide, and by what means?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We learned that the Destroyers, as per our prophecies, were not defeated. There was something else besides the Lucifer controlling them. It was simply replacing the Lucifer's lost control. It then would have conquered Vasudan and Terran space, succeeding where the Lucifer finally failed.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I see. Continue...&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Those were rough times for our ideals. We seemed doomed, oblivion the only possible outcome. Millennia of prophecies almost seemed like painful illusions, yet the truth was even greater than our expectations. That truth had to be delivered back to our systems and stop the mass defections and suicides among Hammer of Light loyalists.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Were you aware of other activities being carried out in the frontline?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Yes, I know that some of our own loyalists were onboard the PVD Imhotep. Others were spread amongst the members of the battle group. Every single ship had some of our faithful onboard. Some of us managed to slow down joint Vasudan-Terran operations, performing surgical strikes and driving PVE and GTA strategists into chaos. They were ultimately fooled into linking those failures to new Destroyer designs we hadn't seen before in the conflict. That allowed us to go unnoticed for weeks.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Describe one such act of sabotage to joint Vasudan-Terran operations.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It happened days after the destruction of the Lucifer. Some of our loyalists were sent to deal with a Cain cruiser, in Delta Serpentis, which seemed very well guarded for a ship of its class. We believed it was the sign of something greater, and the moment we saw the Shivans using a previously unseen weapon, we realized it was time to become messengers of a new truth. We haven't stopped ever since.&quot;<br /> <br /> ===[January 24th, 2368] Civilian Media Investigation Report &quot;Questions they won't let us answer about the Shivans&quot;===<br /> ''Aired on most public GTVA channels ''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> If we really want to get to the bottom of the problem, the reason behind all of the big unanswered questions, we have to go back to where everything started.<br /> <br /> If you're guessing what star we're showing right now, you're guessing right, it's Ross 128. Don't be fooled by this fiery glow coming from a red dwarf. The mysteries that lay in this system are far greater than previously thought.<br /> <br /> Some of you watching this episode are Capellan refugees, looking for a new place to call home. You might as well wonder what lies between the tragedy of your homeworlds' collapse and the source of the Shivan incursions in the Great War. To date, there are no clear - let alone official - explanations on how the Great War actually ended. There's the majestic, glorious end - that of the Lucifer - but there was an actual end to the war, the last encounter between a Shivan and a Terran or Vasudan ship.<br /> <br /> Details on this last encounter are unknown. We have no idea how it took place, we know it happened in this system, somewhere in the void of space, yet it led to the disappearance of the Shivans for over three decades. We still hear from scientists who believe the Shivans used interstellar jump drives capable of not relying on stable jump nodes, proving how such drives may theoretically be possible, but how accurate are these hypotheses?<br /> <br /> Furthermore, we believe that hiding the truth from honest GTVA citizens is an insult to the sacrifices committed by our loved ones in the past forty-five years of galactic conflict and challenging reconstruction efforts. We may be as resilient as phoenixes rising from ashes, but at what point do we accept the ignorance of the past, especially when said ignorance is driven by somebody? How can we possibly live our lives and even plan to reopen the Sol jump node using Knossos-derived technology, if we're so unsure about what's behind us?<br /> <br /> Should we even plan to go this far, knowing that, even if it is sealed from the rest of colonized space, Sol is - as far as we know and can extrapolate - a safe place?<br /> <br /> ===[November 14th, 2352] Memories of a veteran from the 53rd Hammerheads===<br /> ''Written on his personal diary, recovered by the heirs after his death, on September 18th, 2388''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Shortly after our final victory over the Lucifer, I felt relieved about the possibility of not facing the Shivans ever again. This feeling has changed over the years, of course, effectively turning me into what I am right now. I am now obsessed, puzzled by what I, for a long time, believed was but a memory of the past. It now chases me, over and over, even in my dreams. I seem to be the only person around here who spends most of the day thinking about what lies beyond the sealed jump node.<br /> <br /> The victory over such an enemy came at a price going far beyond the meaning of what we learned from past history, when it comes to conflicts. There was a military victory, at least a local one, and that was the moment the Lucifer fell to our attack aimed at its multiple reactors. But a seal was imposed, and one system had to be cut off from the others, dismantling decades of space colonization in fractions of a second. That was the ultimate cost of our victory.<br /> <br /> We have no idea about the evolution of the conflict on the other side of the node. There are many possibilities, all driven by questions I will never be able to answer, as no one probably will for many years to come. I do wonder, however, if the war for survival on the other side had a similar ending to what happened here, in the form of a second, maybe a third or fourth, sealing of a system from the cosmic net of subspace flow.<br /> <br /> Is this the lesson learnt from the Destroyers? Disappear into the oblivion of endless space, with your species going extinct, or merely slow down the process by self isolating? Is isolation the final solution over a galactic conflict with an enemy that won't come for your resources, instead overwhelms you with technology and numbers, then aims to cancel your entire civilization with no trace whatsoever of a contact, a will for peace?<br /> <br /> Are the survivors on the other side, providing that they're still alive, in a chasing marathon with destiny, a fight for survival where cutting the branches of a colossal tree is the only way to preserve life?<br /> <br /> ==[[The Spirit of Ptah]]==<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] First excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> One thing that may be more due to common stereotypes than actual proof and evidence of their actions, is their supposed tendency to give individual lives less of a value compared to us. Suicides, kamikaze attempts and possibly brave actions with no consideration of the possible consequences, all seem to be more frequent in Vasudan culture compared to our own tendencies. An equal stereotype from their end sees us as greedy and unable to work together for a common, greater goal, as we are doomed to let our individual interests overcome it.<br /> <br /> The ongoing war with this alien species leads us - if we want to analyze their culture objectively - to view their behaviors in combat separately from what they do in civilian life. From what we understand, Vasudans with roles and responsibilities have enormous psychological pressure, regardless of their skills. They're meritocratic, in the sense that they seem to ignore all internal differences with respect to social rank, thus allowing the most skilled and talented of them to have notable careers in the context of their respective castes, and only the highest of ranks are predominantly driven by inheritance.<br /> <br /> Vasudans with specific roles in politics and the academic world take this pressure very, very seriously. Governors failing to achieve specific pre-set objectives of their political mandates may oftentimes end their careers in dishonored retirement, or even commit suicide. Lecturers and researchers whose works are proven to be weak or wrong under strict checks within their communities may also end their careers so abruptly. All of this happens in our own culture, too, but more rarely, thereby leading to rigid stereotypes on both sides.<br /> <br /> While, from the Vasudans' perspective, all of this may be an interpretation of death as a necessary means to obtain honor and fulfill some particular goal, this can be actually interpreted as their way to adore life and what it offers.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Second excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> A lot has been written and said about the Vasudan language and its countless dialects, with stereotypes indicating such forms of expressions as absurdly complicated, as words may change - even radically so - depending on social rank, the distance to Vasuda Prime, the underlying circumstances of the conversation and myriad other factors.<br /> <br /> This extra complexity, which adds to the overall complexity of the many thousands of dialects spoken by the Vasudans, may seem difficult to understand and justify by trying to relate it to modern Terran languages. It's commonly interpreted, in fact, as yet another sign of ritualism and superstition injected by the Vasudans into virtually any endeavor in their lives, with the language being just one of the many examples supporting this thesis. As most linguists will agree, however, it doesn't differ that much from what our own languages have been based on in the past few millennia. While the overall complexity of these variations wasn't comparable to that of Vasudan languages, we have many notable examples in our own history proving that, unlike what the stereotypes seem to indicate, adding complexity to text and conversations is not a purely Vasudan tendency.<br /> <br /> To be more specific, in Terran history, with only a few exceptions still persisting today, languages and dialects have taken into account contexts that would cause them to be difficult to understand under modern circumstances. One such factor was social rank, with differences depending on who was talking and who said person was talking to. All known examples were constrained by the fact that they were spoken by natives with extremely limited technological capabilities, as they obviously weren't space faring populations, but the fundamentals we extrapolate from archeological findings point to an apparent convergence.<br /> <br /> Who knows with any certainty? Perhaps, had Terran history proceeded differently, we would be speaking with that same extra reverential complexity that the Vasudan language is built upon.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Third excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> Vasuda Prime, the fourth planet of the Vasuda system, is the homeworld of this species at war with us. Unlike we Terrans, who managed to establish colonies on many planets and satellites of Sol, the Vasudans had to face a much greater challenge, as Vasuda Prime is the only major celestial body compatible with exploitable colonization in that system, so they've relied a lot on jump nodes to found new colonies in nearby systems. The discovery of subspace, in fact, was demonstrably much more of a blessing to the Vasudans than it was for us, and this is mostly due to Sol's peculiarities. We don't have the same need to expand our hegemony to other systems. This is one of the reasons why many suspect that the war was doomed to start regardless of the outcome of the two species’ first contacts, though this is still open to debate.<br /> <br /> The planet is a rather tough environment, and many question how the Vasudans evolved and developed in such a scenario. Its landmass is divided into two major supercontinents which underwent a rifting event only a few million years ago, and are still moving apart from each other. The current geodynamic setting of Vasuda is similar, although far from equal, to that seen on Earth between the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras. Much like with Earth over 250 million years ago, the formation of a single supercontinent - Pangaea, in our case - may lead to radical changes in the environments, with the expansion of deserts in the inner regions resulting in planetwide mass extinctions. Vasuda Prime hosted a colossal desert prior to the rifting event, caused by the collision of smaller continents, and even now, as the two major supercontinents are diverging, the surface is still mostly dominated by deserts. The Vasudans are believed to have evolved in coastal regions of the southern supercontinent, whose climate was more temperate, though still challenging. These geodynamical settings and the timing of past continental collisions have allowed Vasuda Prime to host hydrocarbon reserves at least one order of magnitude larger than those on Earth, and the exploitation of such reserves at the right stage of Vasudan history has allowed the technological boost that ultimately led them to become a space-faring species.<br /> <br /> Unlike Terrans, who have developed more on the technology branch than on an evolutionary scale in the past few thousand years, the Vasudans appear to have experienced an anomalous change a few millennia ago, the origin of which is still debated.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Fourth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> The most puzzling and contradictory perception of the Vasudans is the one that sees them as soldiers who would blindly follow any kind of order given by their general. The reality couldn't be any more different than this perception, supported by fragmented and anecdotal evidence.<br /> <br /> Though their respect towards authorities is unquestionable, applying to many endeavors beyond warfare, each Vasudan is asked to be judgmental and follow precise customs and courtesies to let someone with a higher rank know that they disagree about a choice. This occurrence is rare, but whenever it happens, it exposes a new facet of Vasudan culture and a way to interpret the formalities of authority in a more pragmatic manner. There are limited circumstances where any Vasudan could object to an extremely highly ranked member of their military or Parliament, and do so in a way that would seem absurd to us Terrans. Even in the greatest democracies of our past, the interaction between simple citizens or soldiers and their rules has always had some sort of filter, and our modern era is no exception, despite the GTA's status as a stable and solid democracy.<br /> <br /> Where does the difference lie, then? How come a supposed stricter respect of higher authorities also accounts for interactions between Vasudans whose ranks are vastly different? Some interpret this as a legacy of past times, when the lack of technology allowed more direct interactions between Vasudans of different ranks, though strictly regulated by precise rituals. According to a different interpretation, this may be due to one specific and ancient ritual of Vasudan culture, which used to be very common in small villages with one or two leaders. This inherited tradition expects each Vasudan, at least once in a lifetime, to perform a ritual conversation with a person of a much higher rank, and discuss particular subjects which are determined by respective ranks. The date and content of the conversation would then be a solid part of one's achievements, in a way that would resemble a Terran diploma. Ancient Vasudan tombs have been confirmed to have inscriptions related to this ritual.<br /> <br /> The truth may be within a combination of these two interpretations, which both differ quite a lot from what we've experienced in our own history. Imagine one of our ancestors getting the chance to talk to a king or ruler, and imagine the tomb having an inscription about that conversation as if it were a remarkable achievement, something that heirs would talk about for decades.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Fifth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> As a space faring species, could the Vasudans see the light of technological advance being darkened and shrouded by a veil of superstition? It appears that they potentially could. The Vasudans, regardless of their rank, take ancient texts and lessons from the past very seriously. Their concept of the past itself deserves its own explanation, as it constitutes a key to understanding this phenomenon.<br /> <br /> The main point here is that the words we use to describe these sources of knowledge for the Vasudan people diverge quite a bit from their actual meaning, as seen from their perspective. We talk about Vasudan mythology and prophecies, and by using these words, we carry on implications that don't match the real values of these from their perspective. In Earth's history, a mythology was essentially the religion of a defunct civilization, while a prophecy is something tied to supernatural powers, and therefore very weak once analyzed with reason in mind. This is absolutely not what Vasudan 'mythology' and 'prophecies' are about; both of them, while still vague in their words and open to dozens of different interpretations, are tied to reality in a way far greater than most ancient texts and inscriptions in Terran history.<br /> <br /> The paradox is that we've been influenced more by religion and superstition than the Vasudans have been, yet we took separate paths that ultimately led to our situation being reversed. Our own mythologies referred to hypothetical creatures and stories, while Vasudan 'mythologies' combined supernatural elements with primitive science, in an effort to explain natural phenomena and the intrinsic fundamentals of nature. How could this happen, how come we've ended up pretending to be the rational individuals, unlike our superstitious counterparts?<br /> <br /> Once again, it's a subject with multiple hypotheses and no clear explanations or answers can be given. Researchers, however, point to the Vasudans' religious and political stability over millennia as the main reason behind this difference. While incredibly varied on their own, Vasudan cultures share a common root dating back to millennia ago, and this may have allowed tales and scripts to be carried over hundreds of generations with no changes whatsoever to their influence. It's not the case for ancient Terran cultures, which were geographically constrained and have undergone radical changes on the scale of decades, not millennia. It goes without saying that, as the social and religious momentum in their society is maintained, ancient texts acquire more and more importance thanks to their age.<br /> <br /> This view, however, is not shared by many researchers who still see superstition as the source of these Vasudan behaviors.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Sixth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> Regardless of the Galactic Terran Alliance's monitoring of all texts and publications concerning the Vasudans, overwhelming evidence about their Parliament being seriously corrupted is hardly debatable. Such corruption is widespread and affects the lives of the Vasudan people in ways that, if hypothetically applied to the GTA itself, could fit the description of a not-so-benevolent dictatorship.<br /> <br /> Corruption has been confirmed to have characterized the Parliament for a significant portion of its history, though sudden increases have been experienced - based on the information that we have - following the colonization of nearby systems. As reported before in this manuscript, the Vasudans are more dependent on space colonization than we are, and it's no secret that something as critically important as the discovery of subspace would have tremendous implications. Early Vasudan subspace travel was severely regulated and inaccessible to most, and the Parliament worked hard to maintain the economic balances of such a great discovery. Space colonization has increased corruption within the Parliament as a tool to control the flow of resources and the consequent influence of those responsible for the harvesting of said resources. The war made things even worse, as military elites put pressure on a number of political debates for things that seem more strictly related to their attempt to gain more influence than actually make decisions relevant to the war effort. Despite all of these major drawbacks, the Parliament as a political infrastructure performs its job, and we have learned more than once that its corruption isn't always a sign of weakness. The background noise caused by deep conflicts of interest does not prevent this entity from ruling over the Vasudan Empire and responding to actions taken by the GTA.<br /> <br /> If we were to analyze the true potential of this phenomenon, we'd temporarily have to disregard the current political setting of the PVE. The current situation is atypical, as a war with another species undoubtedly makes certain interests fall to the wayside in favor of the struggle for survival, but what would happen in a different scenario? If anything, we estimate that the influence of certain elements within the Parliament may be so high that they could secretly divert resources, workforce and combatants to their own factions, if they wanted to. The institution is structured in a way that would allow a parallel fleet to the PVN to be formed and grown, albeit under specific circumstances.<br /> <br /> [[Category: Series Resurrecta]]</div>

To do so would help define the meaning of a military’s claim to 'victory' on a battlefield that spans an entire system.<br /> <br /> The days of the Great War are long gone. At that point, most of you weren't even born yet, and those among you who were would have been infants still learning how to walk and talk.<br /> <br /> People like me ''do'' remember that unique sense of terror. We were coming out of fourteen long years of conventional conflict with another species. The odds of two species encountering each other in space, let alone fighting each other, were so miniscule we couldn't even calculate them.<br /> <br /> Then the Shivans appeared. They redefined the concepts of threat, destruction, invasion and survival. They taught us what these words really meant, and made us realize that what counted as conquering a star system, or winning a war with another species, are both intrinsically dependent on who's the winner. A winner like the Shivans won't just achieve space superiority. It will also wipe all life and civilization from a planet, just as it did with Vasuda Prime.<br /> <br /> The sudden discovery of yet another species, the Ancients, allowed us to prevent Earth's fall to such a fate. <br /> <br /> Earth, a homeworld you have never visited, yet perceive as something important but only remotely tied to your life.<br /> <br /> The past is a key factor in shaping the future. Knowledge of the past will help the GTVA regain and maintain its glory. Some of you may have already heard the term 'The Lost Generation.' It is increasingly used as a way to describe those like you who have never been to Sol. Worry not, for you are not Lost. You will lead the future of humanity, which no longer needs its homeworld to survive and prosper.<br /> <br /> Let the new homeworld, our 'Neo Terra' of sorts, be everywhere you'll be calling home in the days, months, and years to come.<br /> <br /> Speech to new Modern History graduates at Polaris Public University<br /> July 10th, 2359<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ===[September 2nd, 2341] Report of Akheton Corporation Delegation to the Imperial Palace===<br /> For the attention of Emperor Khonsu II:<br /> <br /> It is with great honor and pleasure that we introduce the finalized report and digital model of Project Sobek. The tenth annex of this confidential document is focused on the possibility of implementing beam weapon technology in this design.<br /> <br /> As you are already aware, the concept of this design is based on declassified reports of the SCv Moloch, a 'corvette' class of warship encountered in the late stages of the Great War. <br /> <br /> At first erroneously interpreted as a large cruiser, the Moloch was something else. The Moloch is an intermediate class combining the speed and flexibility of cruisers with the firepower and endurance of destroyers. We have designated this new class ‘corvette’.<br /> <br /> It proved to be so versatile that joint teams of Vasudan and Terran engineers analyzed all available reports on the few ships of this class that had been encountered. Subsequently the concept of the corvette class was introduced to strategists.<br /> <br /> Unlike the Shivan design we based our work on, what will likely become the GVC-V Sobek lacks a fighter bay. Our reports and tests proved that the inclusion of a fighter bay would significantly decrease the hull integrity of the warship without adding any tactical capabilities other than hosting a wing of small-to-medium fighters.<br /> <br /> Compared to the Moloch, however, the Sobek’s firepower is considerably greater and the sleek design is expected to make the Sobek more efficient in combat, both in attack and defense. This is a similar result to that of the Terran Deimos, which is also expected to be manufactured very soon. We believe the Sobek will fulfil a number of roles the Deimos may be too logistically complex to perform.<br /> <br /> Both ships will be vital for the future of Vasudan and Terran fleets. In our effort to renew our fleets, the Sobek will be the key to efficiencies in strategies, logistics and combat. Under the right conditions, as tested in the attached war simulations, two ships of this class can compete directly with any known destroyer and come out victorious.<br /> <br /> <br /> The final production phase awaits Your approval, Emperor.<br /> <br /> ===[March 5th, 2335] Epitaph in a devastated Ancient settlement in Altair IV===<br /> ''Discovered by Vasudan survivors from the Vasuda Prime massacre.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> &quot;A lone survivor joined us two Glorious Homeworld cycles ago, the only survivor from an entire colony of our people to escape from a devastated system. It was truly a miracle.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It was so unbelievable at first that, for a moment, we thought it was bait, a way for the Destroyers to expose our settlement of survivors and make its location known. It ultimately turned out to be a genuine spacecraft of our race, coming from several beloved star systems distant.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The survivor piloting it was severely wounded, but we managed to provide basic cures. Among the data and archives carried in the approaching emergency spacecraft were testimonies of a prosperity long gone. We also discovered how the Destroyers employed [Trains of Doom] in that system, as well as in the neighbouring systems of our once mighty empire. These massive convoys of ‘Trains of Doom’ were difficult to detect and monitor. Days after their disappearance, they would be followed by large Destroyer armadas, attacking our people from flanks and even from behind, in systems one or two [Subspace] jumps away from the frontlines.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The reports from our people in that colony provided us with significant intelligence. They had learned that in many systems the Destroyers had hidden away fleets capable of staying in stasis for millennia, before their reactivation by a Train of Doom. Once reactivated, the fleets would join their main force and eliminate whatever trace of our once beautiful civilization they detected.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;These same awakened fleets were seen employing a bombing tactic never seen before in the invasion, a weapon of terror that could use subspace to... [indecipherable due to excessive superficial damage.]&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The survivor, messenger of a doomed branch of our fallen Empire, ultimately passed away from a disease we were no longer able to cure with what little we now have. Its treatment would have needed mere minutes in our old, great epochs of prosperity and glory. If anything, the pilot was lucky. Unlike us, he will not have to live through the last few remaining days of existence, eye witnessing our complete extinction not only as a civilization, but as a species.&quot;<br /> <br /> Epitaph in a devastated Ancient settlement in Altair IV<br /> Discovered by Vasudan survivors from the Vasuda Prime massacre on March 5th, 2335<br /> <br /> ===[February 18th, 2320] Excerpt from &quot;An introduction to subspace, the great physical wonder&quot;===<br /> Subspace and gravity appear to be connected to each other, albeit in a somewhat complex relationship. Although most of the features of subspace are still a mystery to us, we have observed a strong connection between it and gravitational fields. It doesn't necessarily mean that all of subspace requires the presence of gravity fields to allow travel, as ably demonstrated by interstellar jump nodes, but it shows how, at the very least, the roots of this phenomenon are connected to gravity.<br /> <br /> <br /> Since the very beginning of subspace exploitation, it has been noted that the amount of energy necessary for an intrasystem jump is proportional to the intensity of the gravitational field, and its distribution with respect to a given craft's route. For example, jumping towards the center of a star system requires less energy compared to a journey away from said center. The difference in terms of energy required is negligible for modern subspace drives, but it was a major factor in early experiments. It has also been proven that proximity to an interstellar jump node does not act as an auxiliary gravity source. Therefore, jump nodes do not affect the energy required for intrasystem jumps. <br /> <br /> Intersystem jumps follow very different rules. The energy required for such jumps is way beyond the capabilities of small spacecraft, and poses a challenge for even the largest ships. However, it is not proportional to the distance between two stable jump nodes. This leads one to assume, as described in greater detail in later chapters of this publication, that while intrasystem jumps are vastly affected by gravity, intersystem jumps are not. Instead, intersystem jumps rely on some kind of subspace ‘flow’, which, once entered, allows ships to pass through it with little effort beyond the energy expended from entering subspace. Gravity seems to play no role in this flow, as the gravitational field of connected star systems is negligible at best during travel.<br /> There's no influence from external gravity sources, either, because the subspace flow passes through interstellar space, whose density is low. Further in the publication, hypotheses and experiments showing the existence of a subspace flow will be shown...<br /> <br /> ===[April 13th, 2365] Excerpt from the book 'Tales of a Wounded Great War Pilot'===<br /> We maintained secrecy over the Iksura freighters and their colossal cargo capacity for quite some time. The reason? It was deeply counterproductive in post Great War time to admit how inferior we were compared to the Shivans in fields other than offensive power. Well, that's my own hypothesis, and who knows if there's something else behind it.<br /> <br /> One thing I can tell for sure: facing them in combat was as frightening as facing a destroyer or similar warship. You're there, out in the void of space, pretending to be shooting at a sitting duck, except the sitting duck and its cargo are more well armored, armed and protected than one of our own Fenris-class cruisers. Think about that, let it sink in, then add one important factor to the equation: a jamming field whose strength and range would effectively prevent any sensor lock from being gained. No missiles that required a lock could be launched against these... Doomtrains. None at all.<br /> <br /> A jamming that would not only compromise your offensive capacity, but it would also cut you off from your allies, their messages, their calls for help and so on. That was a powerful weapon, too, at times more frightening than defensive turrets. There was a drawback to the Doomtrains, however: as we suspected, and later tested directly in combat, the destruction of any of the components in the chain, including the towing freighter itself, would have triggered a chain reaction causing the immediate destruction of all following units. The mechanism by which this happened, according to undisclosed information, was probably due to an automated Shivan mechanism that would self destruct each lost component, thus preventing its capture by any kind of enemy.<br /> <br /> We then assumed that only the most sensitive cargo would be carried by Doomtrains. Attempts to even try and scan the cargo proved impossible, due to the intense jamming field and the self-destruct mechanism. Never in our interstellar conflicts have we seen such a mysterious, deceptive and intriguing freighter. It's not the ship type we would normally link to all these characteristics, as we believe actual warships to be more than a threat. But what if the Iksuras were responsible for maintaining entire Shivan fleets with their precious cargo? That would make them second only to the Lucifer in terms of strategic importance. That's the lesson we learned at Ross 128.<br /> <br /> ===[August 5th, 2337] Classified transcript from the interrogation of a Hammer of Light fanatic===<br /> &quot;To what degree were you involved in the final efforts of the Alliance in countering the Shivans in Ross 128?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I was deployed by my guru to investigate Shivan activity in the system.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;How was this activity carried out?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I was the pilot of a retrofitted Seshat scout fighter. I had enough supplies in my spacecraft to perform a reconnaissance mission lasting an entire month. I then staged my loss in a reconnaissance operation, self destructed my craft, and provided my guru with the information he needed. One of our comrades picked me up and organized my transfer back to safe systems.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;What kind of information have you been able to provide, and by what means?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We learned that the Destroyers, as per our prophecies, were not defeated. There was something else besides the Lucifer controlling them. It was simply replacing the Lucifer's lost control. It then would have conquered Vasudan and Terran space, succeeding where the Lucifer finally failed.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I see. Continue...&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Those were rough times for our ideals. We seemed doomed, oblivion the only possible outcome. Millennia of prophecies almost seemed like painful illusions, yet the truth was even greater than our expectations. That truth had to be delivered back to our systems and stop the mass defections and suicides among Hammer of Light loyalists.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Were you aware of other activities being carried out in the frontline?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Yes, I know that some of our own loyalists were onboard the PVD Imhotep. Others were spread amongst the members of the battle group. Every single ship had some of our faithful onboard. Some of us managed to slow down joint Vasudan-Terran operations, performing surgical strikes and driving PVE and GTA strategists into chaos. They were ultimately fooled into linking those failures to new Destroyer designs we hadn't seen before in the conflict. That allowed us to go unnoticed for weeks.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Describe one such act of sabotage to joint Vasudan-Terran operations.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It happened days after the destruction of the Lucifer. Some of our loyalists were sent to deal with a Cain cruiser, in Delta Serpentis, which seemed very well guarded for a ship of its class. We believed it was the sign of something greater, and the moment we saw the Shivans using a previously unseen weapon, we realized it was time to become messengers of a new truth. We haven't stopped ever since.&quot;<br /> <br /> ===[January 24th, 2368] Civilian Media Investigation Report &quot;Questions they won't let us answer about the Shivans&quot;===<br /> ''Aired on most public GTVA channels ''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> If we really want to get to the bottom of the problem, the reason behind all of the big unanswered questions, we have to go back to where everything started.<br /> <br /> If you're guessing what star we're showing right now, you're guessing right, it's Ross 128. Don't be fooled by this fiery glow coming from a red dwarf. The mysteries that lay in this system are far greater than previously thought.<br /> <br /> Some of you watching this episode are Capellan refugees, looking for a new place to call home. You might as well wonder what lies between the tragedy of your homeworlds' collapse and the source of the Shivan incursions in the Great War. To date, there are no clear - let alone official - explanations on how the Great War actually ended. There's the majestic, glorious end - that of the Lucifer - but there was an actual end to the war, the last encounter between a Shivan and a Terran or Vasudan ship.<br /> <br /> Details on this last encounter are unknown. We have no idea how it took place, we know it happened in this system, somewhere in the void of space, yet it led to the disappearance of the Shivans for over three decades. We still hear from scientists who believe the Shivans used interstellar jump drives capable of not relying on stable jump nodes, proving how such drives may theoretically be possible, but how accurate are these hypotheses?<br /> <br /> Furthermore, we believe that hiding the truth from honest GTVA citizens is an insult to the sacrifices committed by our loved ones in the past forty-five years of galactic conflict and challenging reconstruction efforts. We may be as resilient as phoenixes rising from ashes, but at what point do we accept the ignorance of the past, especially when said ignorance is driven by somebody? How can we possibly live our lives and even plan to reopen the Sol jump node using Knossos-derived technology, if we're so unsure about what's behind us?<br /> <br /> Should we even plan to go this far, knowing that, even if it is sealed from the rest of colonized space, Sol is - as far as we know and can extrapolate - a safe place?<br /> <br /> ===[November 14th, 2352] Memories of a veteran from the 53rd Hammerheads===<br /> ''Written on his personal diary, recovered by the heirs after his death, on September 18th, 2388''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Shortly after our final victory over the Lucifer, I felt relieved about the possibility of not facing the Shivans ever again. This feeling has changed over the years, of course, effectively turning me into what I am right now. I am now obsessed, puzzled by what I, for a long time, believed was but a memory of the past. It now chases me, over and over, even in my dreams. I seem to be the only person around here who spends most of the day thinking about what lies beyond the sealed jump node.<br /> <br /> The victory over such an enemy came at a price going far beyond the meaning of what we learned from past history, when it comes to conflicts. There was a military victory, at least a local one, and that was the moment the Lucifer fell to our attack aimed at its multiple reactors. But a seal was imposed, and one system had to be cut off from the others, dismantling decades of space colonization in fractions of a second. That was the ultimate cost of our victory.<br /> <br /> We have no idea about the evolution of the conflict on the other side of the node. There are many possibilities, all driven by questions I will never be able to answer, as no one probably will for many years to come. I do wonder, however, if the war for survival on the other side had a similar ending to what happened here, in the form of a second, maybe a third or fourth, sealing of a system from the cosmic net of subspace flow.<br /> <br /> Is this the lesson learnt from the Destroyers? Disappear into the oblivion of endless space, with your species going extinct, or merely slow down the process by self isolating? Is isolation the final solution over a galactic conflict with an enemy that won't come for your resources, instead overwhelms you with technology and numbers, then aims to cancel your entire civilization with no trace whatsoever of a contact, a will for peace?<br /> <br /> Are the survivors on the other side, providing that they're still alive, in a chasing marathon with destiny, a fight for survival where cutting the branches of a colossal tree is the only way to preserve life?<br /> <br /> ==[[The Spirit of Ptah]]==<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] First excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> One thing that may be more due to common stereotypes than actual proof and evidence of their actions, is their supposed tendency to give individual lives less of a value compared to us. Suicides, kamikaze attempts and possibly brave actions with no consideration of the possible consequences, all seem to be more frequent in Vasudan culture compared to our own tendencies. An equal stereotype from their end sees us as greedy and unable to work together for a common, greater goal, as we are doomed to let our individual interests overcome it.<br /> <br /> The ongoing war with this alien species leads us - if we want to analyze their culture objectively - to view their behaviors in combat separately from what they do in civilian life. From what we understand, Vasudans with roles and responsibilities have enormous psychological pressure, regardless of their skills. They're meritocratic, in the sense that they seem to ignore all internal differences with respect to social rank, thus allowing the most skilled and talented of them to have notable careers in the context of their respective castes, and only the highest of ranks are predominantly driven by inheritance.<br /> <br /> Vasudans with specific roles in politics and the academic world take this pressure very, very seriously. Governors failing to achieve specific pre-set objectives of their political mandates may oftentimes end their careers in dishonored retirement, or even commit suicide. Lecturers and researchers whose works are proven to be weak or wrong under strict checks within their communities may also end their careers so abruptly. All of this happens in our own culture, too, but more rarely, thereby leading to rigid stereotypes on both sides.<br /> <br /> While, from the Vasudans' perspective, all of this may be an interpretation of death as a necessary means to obtain honor and fulfill some particular goal, this can be actually interpreted as their way to adore life and what it offers.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Second excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> A lot has been written and said about the Vasudan language and its countless dialects, with stereotypes indicating such forms of expressions as absurdly complicated, as words may change - even radically so - depending on social rank, the distance to Vasuda Prime, the underlying circumstances of the conversation and myriad other factors.<br /> <br /> This extra complexity, which adds to the overall complexity of the many thousands of dialects spoken by the Vasudans, may seem difficult to understand and justify by trying to relate it to modern Terran languages. It's commonly interpreted, in fact, as yet another sign of ritualism and superstition injected by the Vasudans into virtually any endeavor in their lives, with the language being just one of the many examples supporting this thesis. As most linguists will agree, however, it doesn't differ that much from what our own languages have been based on in the past few millennia. While the overall complexity of these variations wasn't comparable to that of Vasudan languages, we have many notable examples in our own history proving that, unlike what the stereotypes seem to indicate, adding complexity to text and conversations is not a purely Vasudan tendency.<br /> <br /> To be more specific, in Terran history, with only a few exceptions still persisting today, languages and dialects have taken into account contexts that would cause them to be difficult to understand under modern circumstances. One such factor was social rank, with differences depending on who was talking and who said person was talking to. All known examples were constrained by the fact that they were spoken by natives with extremely limited technological capabilities, as they obviously weren't space faring populations, but the fundamentals we extrapolate from archeological findings point to an apparent convergence.<br /> <br /> Who knows with any certainty? Perhaps, had Terran history proceeded differently, we would be speaking with that same extra reverential complexity that the Vasudan language is built upon.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Third excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> Vasuda Prime, the fourth planet of the Vasuda system, is the homeworld of this species at war with us. Unlike we Terrans, who managed to establish colonies on many planets and satellites of Sol, the Vasudans had to face a much greater challenge, as Vasuda Prime is the only major celestial body compatible with exploitable colonization in that system, so they've relied a lot on jump nodes to found new colonies in nearby systems. The discovery of subspace, in fact, was demonstrably much more of a blessing to the Vasudans than it was for us, and this is mostly due to Sol's peculiarities. We don't have the same need to expand our hegemony to other systems. This is one of the reasons why many suspect that the war was doomed to start regardless of the outcome of the two species’ first contacts, though this is still open to debate.<br /> <br /> The planet is a rather tough environment, and many question how the Vasudans evolved and developed in such a scenario. Its landmass is divided into two major supercontinents which underwent a rifting event only a few million years ago, and are still moving apart from each other. The current geodynamic setting of Vasuda is similar, although far from equal, to that seen on Earth between the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras. Much like with Earth over 250 million years ago, the formation of a single supercontinent - Pangaea, in our case - may lead to radical changes in the environments, with the expansion of deserts in the inner regions resulting in planetwide mass extinctions. Vasuda Prime hosted a colossal desert prior to the rifting event, caused by the collision of smaller continents, and even now, as the two major supercontinents are diverging, the surface is still mostly dominated by deserts. The Vasudans are believed to have evolved in coastal regions of the southern supercontinent, whose climate was more temperate, though still challenging. These geodynamical settings and the timing of past continental collisions have allowed Vasuda Prime to host hydrocarbon reserves at least one order of magnitude larger than those on Earth, and the exploitation of such reserves at the right stage of Vasudan history has allowed the technological boost that ultimately led them to become a space-faring species.<br /> <br /> Unlike Terrans, who have developed more on the technology branch than on an evolutionary scale in the past few thousand years, the Vasudans appear to have experienced an anomalous change a few millennia ago, the origin of which is still debated.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Fourth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> The most puzzling and contradictory perception of the Vasudans is the one that sees them as soldiers who would blindly follow any kind of order given by their general. The reality couldn't be any more different than this perception, supported by fragmented and anecdotal evidence.<br /> <br /> Though their respect towards authorities is unquestionable, applying to many endeavors beyond warfare, each Vasudan is asked to be judgmental and follow precise customs and courtesies to let someone with a higher rank know that they disagree about a choice. This occurrence is rare, but whenever it happens, it exposes a new facet of Vasudan culture and a way to interpret the formalities of authority in a more pragmatic manner. There are limited circumstances where any Vasudan could object to an extremely highly ranked member of their military or Parliament, and do so in a way that would seem absurd to us Terrans. Even in the greatest democracies of our past, the interaction between simple citizens or soldiers and their rules has always had some sort of filter, and our modern era is no exception, despite the GTA's status as a stable and solid democracy.<br /> <br /> Where does the difference lie, then? How come a supposed stricter respect of higher authorities also accounts for interactions between Vasudans whose ranks are vastly different? Some interpret this as a legacy of past times, when the lack of technology allowed more direct interactions between Vasudans of different ranks, though strictly regulated by precise rituals. According to a different interpretation, this may be due to one specific and ancient ritual of Vasudan culture, which used to be very common in small villages with one or two leaders. This inherited tradition expects each Vasudan, at least once in a lifetime, to perform a ritual conversation with a person of a much higher rank, and discuss particular subjects which are determined by respective ranks. The date and content of the conversation would then be a solid part of one's achievements, in a way that would resemble a Terran diploma. Ancient Vasudan tombs have been confirmed to have inscriptions related to this ritual.<br /> <br /> The truth may be within a combination of these two interpretations, which both differ quite a lot from what we've experienced in our own history. Imagine one of our ancestors getting the chance to talk to a king or ruler, and imagine the tomb having an inscription about that conversation as if it were a remarkable achievement, something that heirs would talk about for decades.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Fifth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> As a space faring species, could the Vasudans see the light of technological advance being darkened and shrouded by a veil of superstition? It appears that they potentially could. The Vasudans, regardless of their rank, take ancient texts and lessons from the past very seriously. Their concept of the past itself deserves its own explanation, as it constitutes a key to understanding this phenomenon.<br /> <br /> The main point here is that the words we use to describe these sources of knowledge for the Vasudan people diverge quite a bit from their actual meaning, as seen from their perspective. We talk about Vasudan mythology and prophecies, and by using these words, we carry on implications that don't match the real values of these from their perspective. In Earth's history, a mythology was essentially the religion of a defunct civilization, while a prophecy is something tied to supernatural powers, and therefore very weak once analyzed with reason in mind. This is absolutely not what Vasudan 'mythology' and 'prophecies' are about; both of them, while still vague in their words and open to dozens of different interpretations, are tied to reality in a way far greater than most ancient texts and inscriptions in Terran history.<br /> <br /> The paradox is that we've been influenced more by religion and superstition than the Vasudans have been, yet we took separate paths that ultimately led to our situation being reversed. Our own mythologies referred to hypothetical creatures and stories, while Vasudan 'mythologies' combined supernatural elements with primitive science, in an effort to explain natural phenomena and the intrinsic fundamentals of nature. How could this happen, how come we've ended up pretending to be the rational individuals, unlike our superstitious counterparts?<br /> <br /> Once again, it's a subject with multiple hypotheses and no clear explanations or answers can be given. Researchers, however, point to the Vasudans' religious and political stability over millennia as the main reason behind this difference. While incredibly varied on their own, Vasudan cultures share a common root dating back to millennia ago, and this may have allowed tales and scripts to be carried over hundreds of generations with no changes whatsoever to their influence. It's not the case for ancient Terran cultures, which were geographically constrained and have undergone radical changes on the scale of decades, not millennia. It goes without saying that, as the social and religious momentum in their society is maintained, ancient texts acquire more and more importance thanks to their age.<br /> <br /> This view, however, is not shared by many researchers who still see superstition as the source of these Vasudan behaviors.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Sixth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> Regardless of the Galactic Terran Alliance's monitoring of all texts and publications concerning the Vasudans, overwhelming evidence about their Parliament being seriously corrupted is hardly debatable. Such corruption is widespread and affects the lives of the Vasudan people in ways that, if hypothetically applied to the GTA itself, could fit the description of a not-so-benevolent dictatorship.<br /> <br /> Corruption has been confirmed to have characterized the Parliament for a significant portion of its history, though sudden increases have been experienced - based on the information that we have - following the colonization of nearby systems. As reported before in this manuscript, the Vasudans are more dependent on space colonization than we are, and it's no secret that something as critically important as the discovery of subspace would have tremendous implications. Early Vasudan subspace travel was severely regulated and inaccessible to most, and the Parliament worked hard to maintain the economic balances of such a great discovery. Space colonization has increased corruption within the Parliament as a tool to control the flow of resources and the consequent influence of those responsible for the harvesting of said resources. The war made things even worse, as military elites put pressure on a number of political debates for things that seem more strictly related to their attempt to gain more influence than actually make decisions relevant to the war effort. Despite all of these major drawbacks, the Parliament as a political infrastructure performs its job, and we have learned more than once that its corruption isn't always a sign of weakness. The background noise caused by deep conflicts of interest does not prevent this entity from ruling over the Vasudan Empire and responding to actions taken by the GTA.<br /> <br /> If we were to analyze the true potential of this phenomenon, we'd temporarily have to disregard the current political setting of the PVE. The current situation is atypical, as a war with another species undoubtedly makes certain interests fall to the wayside in favor of the struggle for survival, but what would happen in a different scenario? If anything, we estimate that the influence of certain elements within the Parliament may be so high that they could secretly divert resources, workforce and combatants to their own factions, if they wanted to. The institution is structured in a way that would allow a parallel fleet to the PVN to be formed and grown, albeit under specific circumstances.<br /> <br /> [[Category: Series Resurrecta]]</div>

To do so would help define the meaning of a military’s claim to 'victory' on a battlefield that spans an entire system.<br /> <br /> The days of the Great War are long gone. At that point, most of you weren't even born yet, and those among you who were would have been infants still learning how to walk and talk.<br /> <br /> People like me ''do'' remember that unique sense of terror. We were coming out of fourteen long years of conventional conflict with another species. The odds of two species encountering each other in space, let alone fighting each other, were so miniscule we couldn't even calculate them.<br /> <br /> Then the Shivans appeared. They redefined the concepts of threat, destruction, invasion and survival. They taught us what these words really meant, and made us realize that what counted as conquering a star system, or winning a war with another species, are both intrinsically dependent on who's the winner. A winner like the Shivans won't just achieve space superiority. It will also wipe all life and civilization from a planet, just as it did with Vasuda Prime.<br /> <br /> The sudden discovery of yet another species, the Ancients, allowed us to prevent Earth's fall to such a fate. <br /> <br /> Earth, a homeworld you have never visited, yet perceive as something important but only remotely tied to your life.<br /> <br /> The past is a key factor in shaping the future. Knowledge of the past will help the GTVA regain and maintain its glory. Some of you may have already heard the term 'The Lost Generation.' It is increasingly used as a way to describe those like you who have never been to Sol. Worry not, for you are not Lost. You will lead the future of humanity, which no longer needs its homeworld to survive and prosper.<br /> <br /> Let the new homeworld, our 'Neo Terra' of sorts, be everywhere you'll be calling home in the days, months, and years to come.<br /> <br /> Speech to new Modern History graduates at Polaris Public University<br /> July 10th, 2359<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ===[September 2nd, 2341] Report of Akheton Corporation Delegation to the Imperial Palace===<br /> For the attention of Emperor Khonsu II:<br /> <br /> It is with great honor and pleasure that we introduce the finalized report and digital model of Project Sobek. The tenth annex of this confidential document is focused on the possibility of implementing beam weapon technology in this design.<br /> <br /> As you are already aware, the concept of this design is based on declassified reports of the SCv Moloch, a 'corvette' class of warship encountered in the late stages of the Great War. <br /> <br /> At first erroneously interpreted as a large cruiser, the Moloch was something else. The Moloch is an intermediate class combining the speed and flexibility of cruisers with the firepower and endurance of destroyers. We have designated this new class ‘corvette’.<br /> <br /> It proved to be so versatile that joint teams of Vasudan and Terran engineers analyzed all available reports on the few ships of this class that had been encountered. Subsequently the concept of the corvette class was introduced to strategists.<br /> <br /> Unlike the Shivan design we based our work on, what will likely become the GVC-V Sobek lacks a fighter bay. Our reports and tests proved that the inclusion of a fighter bay would significantly decrease the hull integrity of the warship without adding any tactical capabilities other than hosting a wing of small-to-medium fighters.<br /> <br /> Compared to the Moloch, however, the Sobek’s firepower is considerably greater and the sleek design is expected to make the Sobek more efficient in combat, both in attack and defense. This is a similar result to that of the Terran Deimos, which is also expected to be manufactured very soon. We believe the Sobek will fulfil a number of roles the Deimos may be too logistically complex to perform.<br /> <br /> Both ships will be vital for the future of Vasudan and Terran fleets. In our effort to renew our fleets, the Sobek will be the key to efficiencies in strategies, logistics and combat. Under the right conditions, as tested in the attached war simulations, two ships of this class can compete directly with any known destroyer and come out victorious.<br /> <br /> <br /> The final production phase awaits Your approval, Emperor.<br /> <br /> ===[March 5th, 2335] Epitaph in a devastated Ancient settlement in Altair IV===<br /> ''Discovered by Vasudan survivors from the Vasuda Prime massacre.''&lt;br&gt;<br /> &quot;A lone survivor joined us two Glorious Homeworld cycles ago, the only survivor from an entire colony of our people to escape from a devastated system. It was truly a miracle.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It was so unbelievable at first that, for a moment, we thought it was bait, a way for the Destroyers to expose our settlement of survivors and make its location known. It ultimately turned out to be a genuine spacecraft of our race, coming from several beloved star systems distant.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The survivor piloting it was severely wounded, but we managed to provide basic cures. Among the data and archives carried in the approaching emergency spacecraft were testimonies of a prosperity long gone. We also discovered how the Destroyers employed [Trains of Doom] in that system, as well as in the neighbouring systems of our once mighty empire. These massive convoys of ‘Trains of Doom’ were difficult to detect and monitor. Days after their disappearance, they would be followed by large Destroyer armadas, attacking our people from flanks and even from behind, in systems one or two [Subspace] jumps away from the frontlines.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The reports from our people in that colony provided us with significant intelligence. They had learned that in many systems the Destroyers had hidden away fleets capable of staying in stasis for millennia, before their reactivation by a Train of Doom. Once reactivated, the fleets would join their main force and eliminate whatever trace of our once beautiful civilization they detected.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;These same awakened fleets were seen employing a bombing tactic never seen before in the invasion, a weapon of terror that could use subspace to... [indecipherable due to excessive superficial damage.]&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The survivor, messenger of a doomed branch of our fallen Empire, ultimately passed away from a disease we were no longer able to cure with what little we now have. Its treatment would have needed mere minutes in our old, great epochs of prosperity and glory. If anything, the pilot was lucky. Unlike us, he will not have to live through the last few remaining days of existence, eye witnessing our complete extinction not only as a civilization, but as a species.&quot;<br /> <br /> Epitaph in a devastated Ancient settlement in Altair IV<br /> Discovered by Vasudan survivors from the Vasuda Prime massacre on March 5th, 2335<br /> <br /> ===[February 18th, 2320] Excerpt from &quot;An introduction to subspace, the great physical wonder&quot;===<br /> Subspace and gravity appear to be connected to each other, albeit in somewhat of a complex relationship. Although most of the features of subspace are still a mystery to us, we have observed a strong connection between it and gravitational fields. It doesn't necessarily mean that all of subspace requires the presence of gravity fields to allow travel, as vastly demonstrated by interstellar jump nodes, but it shows how, at the very least, the roots of this phenomenon are connected to gravity.<br /> <br /> Since the very beginning of subspace exploitation, it has been noted that the amount of energy necessary for an intrasystem jump is proportional to the intensity of the gravitational field, and its distribution with respect to a given craft's route. Jumping towards the center of a star system does in fact require less energy compared to a journey away from said center. The difference in terms of energy required is negligible for modern subspace drives, but it was a major factor in early experiments. It has also been proven how the proximity to an interstellar jump node does not act as an auxiliary gravity source, therefore not affecting the energy required for a jump.<br /> <br /> Intersystem jumps follow very different rules. The energy required for such jumps is way off the scale for small spacecraft, and a challenge for even the largest ships, but it is not proportional to the distance between two stable jump nodes. This leads one to assume, as described in greater detail in later chapters of this publication, that while intrasystem jumps are vastly affected by gravity, intersystem jumps actually rely on some kind of subspace ‘flow’ which, once entered, allows ships to pass through it with little extra effort beyond the energy expended from entering subspace. Gravity seems to play no role in this flow, as the gravitational field of connected star systems is negligible during the travel, for example, and there's no way it could play a role. There's no influence from external gravity sources, either, because the subspace flows pass through interstellar space, whose density is low. Further in the publications, hypotheses and experiments showing the existence of a subspace flow will be shown...<br /> <br /> ===[April 13th, 2365] Excerpt from the book 'Tales of a Wounded Great War Pilot'===<br /> We maintained secrecy over the Iksura freighters and their colossal cargo capacity for quite some time. The reason? It was deeply counterproductive in post Great War time to admit how inferior we were compared to the Shivans in fields other than offensive power. Well, that's my own hypothesis, and who knows if there's something else behind it.<br /> <br /> One thing I can tell for sure: facing them in combat was as frightening as facing a destroyer or similar warship. You're there, out in the void of space, pretending to be shooting at a sitting duck, except the sitting duck and its cargo are more well armored, armed and protected than one of our own Fenris-class cruisers. Think about that, let it sink in, then add one important factor to the equation: a jamming field whose strength and range would effectively prevent any sensor lock from being gained. No missiles that required a lock could be launched against these... Doomtrains. None at all.<br /> <br /> A jamming that would not only compromise your offensive capacity, but it would also cut you off from your allies, their messages, their calls for help and so on. That was a powerful weapon, too, at times more frightening than defensive turrets. There was a drawback to the Doomtrains, however: as we suspected, and later tested directly in combat, the destruction of any of the components in the chain, including the towing freighter itself, would have triggered a chain reaction causing the immediate destruction of all following units. The mechanism by which this happened, according to undisclosed information, was probably due to an automated Shivan mechanism that would self destruct each lost component, thus preventing its capture by any kind of enemy.<br /> <br /> We then assumed that only the most sensitive cargo would be carried by Doomtrains. Attempts to even try and scan the cargo proved impossible, due to the intense jamming field and the self-destruct mechanism. Never in our interstellar conflicts have we seen such a mysterious, deceptive and intriguing freighter. It's not the ship type we would normally link to all these characteristics, as we believe actual warships to be more than a threat. But what if the Iksuras were responsible for maintaining entire Shivan fleets with their precious cargo? That would make them second only to the Lucifer in terms of strategic importance. That's the lesson we learned at Ross 128.<br /> <br /> ===[August 5th, 2337] Classified transcript from the interrogation of a Hammer of Light fanatic===<br /> &quot;To what degree were you involved in the final efforts of the Alliance in countering the Shivans in Ross 128?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I was deployed by my guru to investigate Shivan activity in the system.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;How was this activity carried out?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I was the pilot of a retrofitted Seshat scout fighter. I had enough supplies in my spacecraft to perform a reconnaissance mission lasting an entire month. I then staged my loss in a reconnaissance operation, self destructed my craft, and provided my guru with the information he needed. One of our comrades picked me up and organized my transfer back to safe systems.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;What kind of information have you been able to provide, and by what means?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We learned that the Destroyers, as per our prophecies, were not defeated. There was something else besides the Lucifer controlling them. It was simply replacing the Lucifer's lost control. It then would have conquered Vasudan and Terran space, succeeding where the Lucifer finally failed.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I see. Continue...&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Those were rough times for our ideals. We seemed doomed, oblivion the only possible outcome. Millennia of prophecies almost seemed like painful illusions, yet the truth was even greater than our expectations. That truth had to be delivered back to our systems and stop the mass defections and suicides among Hammer of Light loyalists.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Were you aware of other activities being carried out in the frontline?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Yes, I know that some of our own loyalists were onboard the PVD Imhotep. Others were spread amongst the members of the battle group. Every single ship had some of our faithful onboard. Some of us managed to slow down joint Vasudan-Terran operations, performing surgical strikes and driving PVE and GTA strategists into chaos. They were ultimately fooled into linking those failures to new Destroyer designs we hadn't seen before in the conflict. That allowed us to go unnoticed for weeks.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Describe one such act of sabotage to joint Vasudan-Terran operations.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It happened days after the destruction of the Lucifer. Some of our loyalists were sent to deal with a Cain cruiser, in Delta Serpentis, which seemed very well guarded for a ship of its class. We believed it was the sign of something greater, and the moment we saw the Shivans using a previously unseen weapon, we realized it was time to become messengers of a new truth. We haven't stopped ever since.&quot;<br /> <br /> ===[January 24th, 2368] Civilian Media Investigation Report &quot;Questions they won't let us answer about the Shivans&quot;===<br /> ''Aired on most public GTVA channels ''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> If we really want to get to the bottom of the problem, the reason behind all of the big unanswered questions, we have to go back to where everything started.<br /> <br /> If you're guessing what star we're showing right now, you're guessing right, it's Ross 128. Don't be fooled by this fiery glow coming from a red dwarf. The mysteries that lay in this system are far greater than previously thought.<br /> <br /> Some of you watching this episode are Capellan refugees, looking for a new place to call home. You might as well wonder what lies between the tragedy of your homeworlds' collapse and the source of the Shivan incursions in the Great War. To date, there are no clear - let alone official - explanations on how the Great War actually ended. There's the majestic, glorious end - that of the Lucifer - but there was an actual end to the war, the last encounter between a Shivan and a Terran or Vasudan ship.<br /> <br /> Details on this last encounter are unknown. We have no idea how it took place, we know it happened in this system, somewhere in the void of space, yet it led to the disappearance of the Shivans for over three decades. We still hear from scientists who believe the Shivans used interstellar jump drives capable of not relying on stable jump nodes, proving how such drives may theoretically be possible, but how accurate are these hypotheses?<br /> <br /> Furthermore, we believe that hiding the truth from honest GTVA citizens is an insult to the sacrifices committed by our loved ones in the past forty-five years of galactic conflict and challenging reconstruction efforts. We may be as resilient as phoenixes rising from ashes, but at what point do we accept the ignorance of the past, especially when said ignorance is driven by somebody? How can we possibly live our lives and even plan to reopen the Sol jump node using Knossos-derived technology, if we're so unsure about what's behind us?<br /> <br /> Should we even plan to go this far, knowing that, even if it is sealed from the rest of colonized space, Sol is - as far as we know and can extrapolate - a safe place?<br /> <br /> ===[November 14th, 2352] Memories of a veteran from the 53rd Hammerheads===<br /> ''Written on his personal diary, recovered by the heirs after his death, on September 18th, 2388''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Shortly after our final victory over the Lucifer, I felt relieved about the possibility of not facing the Shivans ever again. This feeling has changed over the years, of course, effectively turning me into what I am right now. I am now obsessed, puzzled by what I, for a long time, believed was but a memory of the past. It now chases me, over and over, even in my dreams. I seem to be the only person around here who spends most of the day thinking about what lies beyond the sealed jump node.<br /> <br /> The victory over such an enemy came at a price going far beyond the meaning of what we learned from past history, when it comes to conflicts. There was a military victory, at least a local one, and that was the moment the Lucifer fell to our attack aimed at its multiple reactors. But a seal was imposed, and one system had to be cut off from the others, dismantling decades of space colonization in fractions of a second. That was the ultimate cost of our victory.<br /> <br /> We have no idea about the evolution of the conflict on the other side of the node. There are many possibilities, all driven by questions I will never be able to answer, as no one probably will for many years to come. I do wonder, however, if the war for survival on the other side had a similar ending to what happened here, in the form of a second, maybe a third or fourth, sealing of a system from the cosmic net of subspace flow.<br /> <br /> Is this the lesson learnt from the Destroyers? Disappear into the oblivion of endless space, with your species going extinct, or merely slow down the process by self isolating? Is isolation the final solution over a galactic conflict with an enemy that won't come for your resources, instead overwhelms you with technology and numbers, then aims to cancel your entire civilization with no trace whatsoever of a contact, a will for peace?<br /> <br /> Are the survivors on the other side, providing that they're still alive, in a chasing marathon with destiny, a fight for survival where cutting the branches of a colossal tree is the only way to preserve life?<br /> <br /> ==[[The Spirit of Ptah]]==<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] First excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> One thing that may be more due to common stereotypes than actual proof and evidence of their actions, is their supposed tendency to give individual lives less of a value compared to us. Suicides, kamikaze attempts and possibly brave actions with no consideration of the possible consequences, all seem to be more frequent in Vasudan culture compared to our own tendencies. An equal stereotype from their end sees us as greedy and unable to work together for a common, greater goal, as we are doomed to let our individual interests overcome it.<br /> <br /> The ongoing war with this alien species leads us - if we want to analyze their culture objectively - to view their behaviors in combat separately from what they do in civilian life. From what we understand, Vasudans with roles and responsibilities have enormous psychological pressure, regardless of their skills. They're meritocratic, in the sense that they seem to ignore all internal differences with respect to social rank, thus allowing the most skilled and talented of them to have notable careers in the context of their respective castes, and only the highest of ranks are predominantly driven by inheritance.<br /> <br /> Vasudans with specific roles in politics and the academic world take this pressure very, very seriously. Governors failing to achieve specific pre-set objectives of their political mandates may oftentimes end their careers in dishonored retirement, or even commit suicide. Lecturers and researchers whose works are proven to be weak or wrong under strict checks within their communities may also end their careers so abruptly. All of this happens in our own culture, too, but more rarely, thereby leading to rigid stereotypes on both sides.<br /> <br /> While, from the Vasudans' perspective, all of this may be an interpretation of death as a necessary means to obtain honor and fulfill some particular goal, this can be actually interpreted as their way to adore life and what it offers.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Second excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> A lot has been written and said about the Vasudan language and its countless dialects, with stereotypes indicating such forms of expressions as absurdly complicated, as words may change - even radically so - depending on social rank, the distance to Vasuda Prime, the underlying circumstances of the conversation and myriad other factors.<br /> <br /> This extra complexity, which adds to the overall complexity of the many thousands of dialects spoken by the Vasudans, may seem difficult to understand and justify by trying to relate it to modern Terran languages. It's commonly interpreted, in fact, as yet another sign of ritualism and superstition injected by the Vasudans into virtually any endeavor in their lives, with the language being just one of the many examples supporting this thesis. As most linguists will agree, however, it doesn't differ that much from what our own languages have been based on in the past few millennia. While the overall complexity of these variations wasn't comparable to that of Vasudan languages, we have many notable examples in our own history proving that, unlike what the stereotypes seem to indicate, adding complexity to text and conversations is not a purely Vasudan tendency.<br /> <br /> To be more specific, in Terran history, with only a few exceptions still persisting today, languages and dialects have taken into account contexts that would cause them to be difficult to understand under modern circumstances. One such factor was social rank, with differences depending on who was talking and who said person was talking to. All known examples were constrained by the fact that they were spoken by natives with extremely limited technological capabilities, as they obviously weren't space faring populations, but the fundamentals we extrapolate from archeological findings point to an apparent convergence.<br /> <br /> Who knows with any certainty? Perhaps, had Terran history proceeded differently, we would be speaking with that same extra reverential complexity that the Vasudan language is built upon.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Third excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> Vasuda Prime, the fourth planet of the Vasuda system, is the homeworld of this species at war with us. Unlike we Terrans, who managed to establish colonies on many planets and satellites of Sol, the Vasudans had to face a much greater challenge, as Vasuda Prime is the only major celestial body compatible with exploitable colonization in that system, so they've relied a lot on jump nodes to found new colonies in nearby systems. The discovery of subspace, in fact, was demonstrably much more of a blessing to the Vasudans than it was for us, and this is mostly due to Sol's peculiarities. We don't have the same need to expand our hegemony to other systems. This is one of the reasons why many suspect that the war was doomed to start regardless of the outcome of the two species’ first contacts, though this is still open to debate.<br /> <br /> The planet is a rather tough environment, and many question how the Vasudans evolved and developed in such a scenario. Its landmass is divided into two major supercontinents which underwent a rifting event only a few million years ago, and are still moving apart from each other. The current geodynamic setting of Vasuda is similar, although far from equal, to that seen on Earth between the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras. Much like with Earth over 250 million years ago, the formation of a single supercontinent - Pangaea, in our case - may lead to radical changes in the environments, with the expansion of deserts in the inner regions resulting in planetwide mass extinctions. Vasuda Prime hosted a colossal desert prior to the rifting event, caused by the collision of smaller continents, and even now, as the two major supercontinents are diverging, the surface is still mostly dominated by deserts. The Vasudans are believed to have evolved in coastal regions of the southern supercontinent, whose climate was more temperate, though still challenging. These geodynamical settings and the timing of past continental collisions have allowed Vasuda Prime to host hydrocarbon reserves at least one order of magnitude larger than those on Earth, and the exploitation of such reserves at the right stage of Vasudan history has allowed the technological boost that ultimately led them to become a space-faring species.<br /> <br /> Unlike Terrans, who have developed more on the technology branch than on an evolutionary scale in the past few thousand years, the Vasudans appear to have experienced an anomalous change a few millennia ago, the origin of which is still debated.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Fourth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> The most puzzling and contradictory perception of the Vasudans is the one that sees them as soldiers who would blindly follow any kind of order given by their general. The reality couldn't be any more different than this perception, supported by fragmented and anecdotal evidence.<br /> <br /> Though their respect towards authorities is unquestionable, applying to many endeavors beyond warfare, each Vasudan is asked to be judgmental and follow precise customs and courtesies to let someone with a higher rank know that they disagree about a choice. This occurrence is rare, but whenever it happens, it exposes a new facet of Vasudan culture and a way to interpret the formalities of authority in a more pragmatic manner. There are limited circumstances where any Vasudan could object to an extremely highly ranked member of their military or Parliament, and do so in a way that would seem absurd to us Terrans. Even in the greatest democracies of our past, the interaction between simple citizens or soldiers and their rules has always had some sort of filter, and our modern era is no exception, despite the GTA's status as a stable and solid democracy.<br /> <br /> Where does the difference lie, then? How come a supposed stricter respect of higher authorities also accounts for interactions between Vasudans whose ranks are vastly different? Some interpret this as a legacy of past times, when the lack of technology allowed more direct interactions between Vasudans of different ranks, though strictly regulated by precise rituals. According to a different interpretation, this may be due to one specific and ancient ritual of Vasudan culture, which used to be very common in small villages with one or two leaders. This inherited tradition expects each Vasudan, at least once in a lifetime, to perform a ritual conversation with a person of a much higher rank, and discuss particular subjects which are determined by respective ranks. The date and content of the conversation would then be a solid part of one's achievements, in a way that would resemble a Terran diploma. Ancient Vasudan tombs have been confirmed to have inscriptions related to this ritual.<br /> <br /> The truth may be within a combination of these two interpretations, which both differ quite a lot from what we've experienced in our own history. Imagine one of our ancestors getting the chance to talk to a king or ruler, and imagine the tomb having an inscription about that conversation as if it were a remarkable achievement, something that heirs would talk about for decades.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Fifth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> As a space faring species, could the Vasudans see the light of technological advance being darkened and shrouded by a veil of superstition? It appears that they potentially could. The Vasudans, regardless of their rank, take ancient texts and lessons from the past very seriously. Their concept of the past itself deserves its own explanation, as it constitutes a key to understanding this phenomenon.<br /> <br /> The main point here is that the words we use to describe these sources of knowledge for the Vasudan people diverge quite a bit from their actual meaning, as seen from their perspective. We talk about Vasudan mythology and prophecies, and by using these words, we carry on implications that don't match the real values of these from their perspective. In Earth's history, a mythology was essentially the religion of a defunct civilization, while a prophecy is something tied to supernatural powers, and therefore very weak once analyzed with reason in mind. This is absolutely not what Vasudan 'mythology' and 'prophecies' are about; both of them, while still vague in their words and open to dozens of different interpretations, are tied to reality in a way far greater than most ancient texts and inscriptions in Terran history.<br /> <br /> The paradox is that we've been influenced more by religion and superstition than the Vasudans have been, yet we took separate paths that ultimately led to our situation being reversed. Our own mythologies referred to hypothetical creatures and stories, while Vasudan 'mythologies' combined supernatural elements with primitive science, in an effort to explain natural phenomena and the intrinsic fundamentals of nature. How could this happen, how come we've ended up pretending to be the rational individuals, unlike our superstitious counterparts?<br /> <br /> Once again, it's a subject with multiple hypotheses and no clear explanations or answers can be given. Researchers, however, point to the Vasudans' religious and political stability over millennia as the main reason behind this difference. While incredibly varied on their own, Vasudan cultures share a common root dating back to millennia ago, and this may have allowed tales and scripts to be carried over hundreds of generations with no changes whatsoever to their influence. It's not the case for ancient Terran cultures, which were geographically constrained and have undergone radical changes on the scale of decades, not millennia. It goes without saying that, as the social and religious momentum in their society is maintained, ancient texts acquire more and more importance thanks to their age.<br /> <br /> This view, however, is not shared by many researchers who still see superstition as the source of these Vasudan behaviors.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Sixth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> Regardless of the Galactic Terran Alliance's monitoring of all texts and publications concerning the Vasudans, overwhelming evidence about their Parliament being seriously corrupted is hardly debatable. Such corruption is widespread and affects the lives of the Vasudan people in ways that, if hypothetically applied to the GTA itself, could fit the description of a not-so-benevolent dictatorship.<br /> <br /> Corruption has been confirmed to have characterized the Parliament for a significant portion of its history, though sudden increases have been experienced - based on the information that we have - following the colonization of nearby systems. As reported before in this manuscript, the Vasudans are more dependent on space colonization than we are, and it's no secret that something as critically important as the discovery of subspace would have tremendous implications. Early Vasudan subspace travel was severely regulated and inaccessible to most, and the Parliament worked hard to maintain the economic balances of such a great discovery. Space colonization has increased corruption within the Parliament as a tool to control the flow of resources and the consequent influence of those responsible for the harvesting of said resources. The war made things even worse, as military elites put pressure on a number of political debates for things that seem more strictly related to their attempt to gain more influence than actually make decisions relevant to the war effort. Despite all of these major drawbacks, the Parliament as a political infrastructure performs its job, and we have learned more than once that its corruption isn't always a sign of weakness. The background noise caused by deep conflicts of interest does not prevent this entity from ruling over the Vasudan Empire and responding to actions taken by the GTA.<br /> <br /> If we were to analyze the true potential of this phenomenon, we'd temporarily have to disregard the current political setting of the PVE. The current situation is atypical, as a war with another species undoubtedly makes certain interests fall to the wayside in favor of the struggle for survival, but what would happen in a different scenario? If anything, we estimate that the influence of certain elements within the Parliament may be so high that they could secretly divert resources, workforce and combatants to their own factions, if they wanted to. The institution is structured in a way that would allow a parallel fleet to the PVN to be formed and grown, albeit under specific circumstances.<br /> <br /> [[Category: Series Resurrecta]]</div>

To do so would help define the meaning of a military’s claim to 'victory' on a battlefield that spans an entire system.<br /> <br /> The days of the Great War are long gone. At that point, most of you weren't even born yet, and those among you who were would have been infants still learning how to walk and talk.<br /> <br /> People like me ''do'' remember that unique sense of terror. We were coming out of fourteen long years of conventional conflict with another species. The odds of two species encountering each other in space, let alone fighting each other, were so miniscule we couldn't even calculate them.<br /> <br /> Then the Shivans appeared. They redefined the concepts of threat, destruction, invasion and survival. They taught us what these words really meant, and made us realize that what counted as conquering a star system, or winning a war with another species, are both intrinsically dependent on who's the winner. A winner like the Shivans won't just achieve space superiority. It will also wipe all life and civilization from a planet, just as it did with Vasuda Prime.<br /> <br /> The sudden discovery of yet another species, the Ancients, allowed us to prevent Earth's fall to such a fate. <br /> <br /> Earth, a homeworld you have never visited, yet perceive as something important but only remotely tied to your life.<br /> <br /> The past is a key factor in shaping the future. Knowledge of the past will help the GTVA regain and maintain its glory. Some of you may have already heard the term 'The Lost Generation.' It is increasingly used as a way to describe those like you who have never been to Sol. Worry not, for you are not Lost. You will lead the future of humanity, which no longer needs its homeworld to survive and prosper.<br /> <br /> Let the new homeworld, our 'Neo Terra' of sorts, be everywhere you'll be calling home in the days, months, and years to come.<br /> <br /> Speech to new Modern History graduates at Polaris Public University<br /> July 10th, 2359<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ===[September 2nd, 2341] Report of Akheton Corporation Delegation to the Imperial Palace===<br /> For the attention of Emperor Khonsu II:<br /> <br /> It is with great honor and pleasure that we introduce the finalized report and digital model of Project Sobek. The tenth annex of this confidential document is focused on the possibility of implementing beam weapon technology in this design.<br /> <br /> As you are already aware, the concept of this design is based on declassified reports of the SCv Moloch, a 'corvette' class of warship encountered in the late stages of the Great War. <br /> <br /> At first erroneously interpreted as a large cruiser, the Moloch was something else. The Moloch is an intermediate class combining the speed and flexibility of cruisers with the firepower and endurance of destroyers. We have designated this new class ‘corvette’.<br /> <br /> It proved to be so versatile that joint teams of Vasudan and Terran engineers analyzed all available reports on the few ships of this class that had been encountered. Subsequently the concept of the corvette class was introduced to strategists.<br /> <br /> Unlike the Shivan design we based our work on, what will likely become the GVC-V Sobek lacks a fighter bay. Our reports and tests proved that the inclusion of a fighter bay would significantly decrease the hull integrity of the warship without adding any tactical capabilities other than hosting a wing of small-to-medium fighters.<br /> <br /> Compared to the Moloch, however, the Sobek’s firepower is considerably greater and the sleek design is expected to make the Sobek more efficient in combat, both in attack and defense. This is a similar result to that of the Terran Deimos, which is also expected to be manufactured very soon. We believe the Sobek will fulfil a number of roles the Deimos may be too logistically complex to perform.<br /> <br /> Both ships will be vital for the future of Vasudan and Terran fleets. In our effort to renew our fleets, the Sobek will be the key to efficiencies in strategies, logistics and combat. Under the right conditions, as tested in the attached war simulations, two ships of this class can compete directly with any known destroyer and come out victorious.<br /> <br /> <br /> The final production phase awaits Your approval, Emperor.<br /> <br /> ===[March 5th, 2335] Epitaph in a devastated Ancient settlement in Altair IV===<br /> ''Discovered by Vasudan survivors from the Vasuda Prime massacre''&lt;br&gt;<br /> &quot;One survivor joined us two Glorious Homeworld cycles ago, the only survivor of an entire colony of our people escaping from a devastated system. It was truly a miracle.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It was so unbelievable at first that, for a moment, we thought it was bait, one way for the Destroyers to expose our settlement of survivors and make its location well known. It ultimately turned out to be a genuine spacecraft of our own, coming from several star systems away.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;This survivor piloting it was severely wounded, but we managed to provide basic cures. Among the data and archives carried out in the approaching emergency spacecraft, testimonies themselves of a prosperity long gone, we discovered how the Destroyers employed [Trains of Doom] in that system, as well as in neighboring systems, which were difficult to detect and monitor. Days after their disappearance, these massive convoys of evil would be followed by large Destroyer armadas, attacking our people from flanks and even from behind, in systems one or two [Subspace] jumps away from the frontlines.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The report from our people in that colony provided us with significant intelligence that, in many systems, the Destroyers have had hidden fleets capable of staying in stasis for millennia, before their reactivation by a Train of Doom. Once reactivated, the fleets would join their main force and eliminate whatever trace of our civilization in between.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;These same awakened fleets were seen employing a bombing tactic never seen before in the invasion, a weapon of terror that could use subspace to... [indecipherable due to excessive superficial damage.]&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The survivor, messenger of a doomed branch of our fallen Empire, ultimately passed away of a disease we were no longer able to cure with what little we now have. Its treatment would have needed just minutes in our old, great epochs of prosperity and glory. If anything, unlike us, he will not have to live through the last few remaining days of existence, eyewitnessing our complete extinction not only as a civilization, but as a species.&quot;<br /> <br /> ===[February 18th, 2320] Excerpt from &quot;An introduction to subspace, the great physical wonder&quot;===<br /> Subspace and gravity appear to be connected to each other, albeit in somewhat of a complex relationship. Although most of the features of subspace are still a mystery to us, we have observed a strong connection between it and gravitational fields. It doesn't necessarily mean that all of subspace requires the presence of gravity fields to allow travel, as vastly demonstrated by interstellar jump nodes, but it shows how, at the very least, the roots of this phenomenon are connected to gravity.<br /> <br /> Since the very beginning of subspace exploitation, it has been noted that the amount of energy necessary for an intrasystem jump is proportional to the intensity of the gravitational field, and its distribution with respect to a given craft's route. Jumping towards the center of a star system does in fact require less energy compared to a journey away from said center. The difference in terms of energy required is negligible for modern subspace drives, but it was a major factor in early experiments. It has also been proven how the proximity to an interstellar jump node does not act as an auxiliary gravity source, therefore not affecting the energy required for a jump.<br /> <br /> Intersystem jumps follow very different rules. The energy required for such jumps is way off the scale for small spacecraft, and a challenge for even the largest ships, but it is not proportional to the distance between two stable jump nodes. This leads one to assume, as described in greater detail in later chapters of this publication, that while intrasystem jumps are vastly affected by gravity, intersystem jumps actually rely on some kind of subspace ‘flow’ which, once entered, allows ships to pass through it with little extra effort beyond the energy expended from entering subspace. Gravity seems to play no role in this flow, as the gravitational field of connected star systems is negligible during the travel, for example, and there's no way it could play a role. There's no influence from external gravity sources, either, because the subspace flows pass through interstellar space, whose density is low. Further in the publications, hypotheses and experiments showing the existence of a subspace flow will be shown...<br /> <br /> ===[April 13th, 2365] Excerpt from the book 'Tales of a Wounded Great War Pilot'===<br /> We maintained secrecy over the Iksura freighters and their colossal cargo capacity for quite some time. The reason? It was deeply counterproductive in post Great War time to admit how inferior we were compared to the Shivans in fields other than offensive power. Well, that's my own hypothesis, and who knows if there's something else behind it.<br /> <br /> One thing I can tell for sure: facing them in combat was as frightening as facing a destroyer or similar warship. You're there, out in the void of space, pretending to be shooting at a sitting duck, except the sitting duck and its cargo are more well armored, armed and protected than one of our own Fenris-class cruisers. Think about that, let it sink in, then add one important factor to the equation: a jamming field whose strength and range would effectively prevent any sensor lock from being gained. No missiles that required a lock could be launched against these... Doomtrains. None at all.<br /> <br /> A jamming that would not only compromise your offensive capacity, but it would also cut you off from your allies, their messages, their calls for help and so on. That was a powerful weapon, too, at times more frightening than defensive turrets. There was a drawback to the Doomtrains, however: as we suspected, and later tested directly in combat, the destruction of any of the components in the chain, including the towing freighter itself, would have triggered a chain reaction causing the immediate destruction of all following units. The mechanism by which this happened, according to undisclosed information, was probably due to an automated Shivan mechanism that would self destruct each lost component, thus preventing its capture by any kind of enemy.<br /> <br /> We then assumed that only the most sensitive cargo would be carried by Doomtrains. Attempts to even try and scan the cargo proved impossible, due to the intense jamming field and the self-destruct mechanism. Never in our interstellar conflicts have we seen such a mysterious, deceptive and intriguing freighter. It's not the ship type we would normally link to all these characteristics, as we believe actual warships to be more than a threat. But what if the Iksuras were responsible for maintaining entire Shivan fleets with their precious cargo? That would make them second only to the Lucifer in terms of strategic importance. That's the lesson we learned at Ross 128.<br /> <br /> ===[August 5th, 2337] Classified transcript from the interrogation of a Hammer of Light fanatic===<br /> &quot;To what degree were you involved in the final efforts of the Alliance in countering the Shivans in Ross 128?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I was deployed by my guru to investigate Shivan activity in the system.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;How was this activity carried out?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I was the pilot of a retrofitted Seshat scout fighter. I had enough supplies in my spacecraft to perform a reconnaissance mission lasting an entire month. I then staged my loss in a reconnaissance operation, self destructed my craft, and provided my guru with the information he needed. One of our comrades picked me up and organized my transfer back to safe systems.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;What kind of information have you been able to provide, and by what means?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We learned that the Destroyers, as per our prophecies, were not defeated. There was something else besides the Lucifer controlling them. It was simply replacing the Lucifer's lost control. It then would have conquered Vasudan and Terran space, succeeding where the Lucifer finally failed.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I see. Continue...&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Those were rough times for our ideals. We seemed doomed, oblivion the only possible outcome. Millennia of prophecies almost seemed like painful illusions, yet the truth was even greater than our expectations. That truth had to be delivered back to our systems and stop the mass defections and suicides among Hammer of Light loyalists.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Were you aware of other activities being carried out in the frontline?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Yes, I know that some of our own loyalists were onboard the PVD Imhotep. Others were spread amongst the members of the battle group. Every single ship had some of our faithful onboard. Some of us managed to slow down joint Vasudan-Terran operations, performing surgical strikes and driving PVE and GTA strategists into chaos. They were ultimately fooled into linking those failures to new Destroyer designs we hadn't seen before in the conflict. That allowed us to go unnoticed for weeks.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Describe one such act of sabotage to joint Vasudan-Terran operations.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It happened days after the destruction of the Lucifer. Some of our loyalists were sent to deal with a Cain cruiser, in Delta Serpentis, which seemed very well guarded for a ship of its class. We believed it was the sign of something greater, and the moment we saw the Shivans using a previously unseen weapon, we realized it was time to become messengers of a new truth. We haven't stopped ever since.&quot;<br /> <br /> ===[January 24th, 2368] Civilian Media Investigation Report &quot;Questions they won't let us answer about the Shivans&quot;===<br /> ''Aired on most public GTVA channels ''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> If we really want to get to the bottom of the problem, the reason behind all of the big unanswered questions, we have to go back to where everything started.<br /> <br /> If you're guessing what star we're showing right now, you're guessing right, it's Ross 128. Don't be fooled by this fiery glow coming from a red dwarf. The mysteries that lay in this system are far greater than previously thought.<br /> <br /> Some of you watching this episode are Capellan refugees, looking for a new place to call home. You might as well wonder what lies between the tragedy of your homeworlds' collapse and the source of the Shivan incursions in the Great War. To date, there are no clear - let alone official - explanations on how the Great War actually ended. There's the majestic, glorious end - that of the Lucifer - but there was an actual end to the war, the last encounter between a Shivan and a Terran or Vasudan ship.<br /> <br /> Details on this last encounter are unknown. We have no idea how it took place, we know it happened in this system, somewhere in the void of space, yet it led to the disappearance of the Shivans for over three decades. We still hear from scientists who believe the Shivans used interstellar jump drives capable of not relying on stable jump nodes, proving how such drives may theoretically be possible, but how accurate are these hypotheses?<br /> <br /> Furthermore, we believe that hiding the truth from honest GTVA citizens is an insult to the sacrifices committed by our loved ones in the past forty-five years of galactic conflict and challenging reconstruction efforts. We may be as resilient as phoenixes rising from ashes, but at what point do we accept the ignorance of the past, especially when said ignorance is driven by somebody? How can we possibly live our lives and even plan to reopen the Sol jump node using Knossos-derived technology, if we're so unsure about what's behind us?<br /> <br /> Should we even plan to go this far, knowing that, even if it is sealed from the rest of colonized space, Sol is - as far as we know and can extrapolate - a safe place?<br /> <br /> ===[November 14th, 2352] Memories of a veteran from the 53rd Hammerheads===<br /> ''Written on his personal diary, recovered by the heirs after his death, on September 18th, 2388''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Shortly after our final victory over the Lucifer, I felt relieved about the possibility of not facing the Shivans ever again. This feeling has changed over the years, of course, effectively turning me into what I am right now. I am now obsessed, puzzled by what I, for a long time, believed was but a memory of the past. It now chases me, over and over, even in my dreams. I seem to be the only person around here who spends most of the day thinking about what lies beyond the sealed jump node.<br /> <br /> The victory over such an enemy came at a price going far beyond the meaning of what we learned from past history, when it comes to conflicts. There was a military victory, at least a local one, and that was the moment the Lucifer fell to our attack aimed at its multiple reactors. But a seal was imposed, and one system had to be cut off from the others, dismantling decades of space colonization in fractions of a second. That was the ultimate cost of our victory.<br /> <br /> We have no idea about the evolution of the conflict on the other side of the node. There are many possibilities, all driven by questions I will never be able to answer, as no one probably will for many years to come. I do wonder, however, if the war for survival on the other side had a similar ending to what happened here, in the form of a second, maybe a third or fourth, sealing of a system from the cosmic net of subspace flow.<br /> <br /> Is this the lesson learnt from the Destroyers? Disappear into the oblivion of endless space, with your species going extinct, or merely slow down the process by self isolating? Is isolation the final solution over a galactic conflict with an enemy that won't come for your resources, instead overwhelms you with technology and numbers, then aims to cancel your entire civilization with no trace whatsoever of a contact, a will for peace?<br /> <br /> Are the survivors on the other side, providing that they're still alive, in a chasing marathon with destiny, a fight for survival where cutting the branches of a colossal tree is the only way to preserve life?<br /> <br /> ==[[The Spirit of Ptah]]==<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] First excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> One thing that may be more due to common stereotypes than actual proof and evidence of their actions, is their supposed tendency to give individual lives less of a value compared to us. Suicides, kamikaze attempts and possibly brave actions with no consideration of the possible consequences, all seem to be more frequent in Vasudan culture compared to our own tendencies. An equal stereotype from their end sees us as greedy and unable to work together for a common, greater goal, as we are doomed to let our individual interests overcome it.<br /> <br /> The ongoing war with this alien species leads us - if we want to analyze their culture objectively - to view their behaviors in combat separately from what they do in civilian life. From what we understand, Vasudans with roles and responsibilities have enormous psychological pressure, regardless of their skills. They're meritocratic, in the sense that they seem to ignore all internal differences with respect to social rank, thus allowing the most skilled and talented of them to have notable careers in the context of their respective castes, and only the highest of ranks are predominantly driven by inheritance.<br /> <br /> Vasudans with specific roles in politics and the academic world take this pressure very, very seriously. Governors failing to achieve specific pre-set objectives of their political mandates may oftentimes end their careers in dishonored retirement, or even commit suicide. Lecturers and researchers whose works are proven to be weak or wrong under strict checks within their communities may also end their careers so abruptly. All of this happens in our own culture, too, but more rarely, thereby leading to rigid stereotypes on both sides.<br /> <br /> While, from the Vasudans' perspective, all of this may be an interpretation of death as a necessary means to obtain honor and fulfill some particular goal, this can be actually interpreted as their way to adore life and what it offers.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Second excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> A lot has been written and said about the Vasudan language and its countless dialects, with stereotypes indicating such forms of expressions as absurdly complicated, as words may change - even radically so - depending on social rank, the distance to Vasuda Prime, the underlying circumstances of the conversation and myriad other factors.<br /> <br /> This extra complexity, which adds to the overall complexity of the many thousands of dialects spoken by the Vasudans, may seem difficult to understand and justify by trying to relate it to modern Terran languages. It's commonly interpreted, in fact, as yet another sign of ritualism and superstition injected by the Vasudans into virtually any endeavor in their lives, with the language being just one of the many examples supporting this thesis. As most linguists will agree, however, it doesn't differ that much from what our own languages have been based on in the past few millennia. While the overall complexity of these variations wasn't comparable to that of Vasudan languages, we have many notable examples in our own history proving that, unlike what the stereotypes seem to indicate, adding complexity to text and conversations is not a purely Vasudan tendency.<br /> <br /> To be more specific, in Terran history, with only a few exceptions still persisting today, languages and dialects have taken into account contexts that would cause them to be difficult to understand under modern circumstances. One such factor was social rank, with differences depending on who was talking and who said person was talking to. All known examples were constrained by the fact that they were spoken by natives with extremely limited technological capabilities, as they obviously weren't space faring populations, but the fundamentals we extrapolate from archeological findings point to an apparent convergence.<br /> <br /> Who knows with any certainty? Perhaps, had Terran history proceeded differently, we would be speaking with that same extra reverential complexity that the Vasudan language is built upon.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Third excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> Vasuda Prime, the fourth planet of the Vasuda system, is the homeworld of this species at war with us. Unlike we Terrans, who managed to establish colonies on many planets and satellites of Sol, the Vasudans had to face a much greater challenge, as Vasuda Prime is the only major celestial body compatible with exploitable colonization in that system, so they've relied a lot on jump nodes to found new colonies in nearby systems. The discovery of subspace, in fact, was demonstrably much more of a blessing to the Vasudans than it was for us, and this is mostly due to Sol's peculiarities. We don't have the same need to expand our hegemony to other systems. This is one of the reasons why many suspect that the war was doomed to start regardless of the outcome of the two species’ first contacts, though this is still open to debate.<br /> <br /> The planet is a rather tough environment, and many question how the Vasudans evolved and developed in such a scenario. Its landmass is divided into two major supercontinents which underwent a rifting event only a few million years ago, and are still moving apart from each other. The current geodynamic setting of Vasuda is similar, although far from equal, to that seen on Earth between the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras. Much like with Earth over 250 million years ago, the formation of a single supercontinent - Pangaea, in our case - may lead to radical changes in the environments, with the expansion of deserts in the inner regions resulting in planetwide mass extinctions. Vasuda Prime hosted a colossal desert prior to the rifting event, caused by the collision of smaller continents, and even now, as the two major supercontinents are diverging, the surface is still mostly dominated by deserts. The Vasudans are believed to have evolved in coastal regions of the southern supercontinent, whose climate was more temperate, though still challenging. These geodynamical settings and the timing of past continental collisions have allowed Vasuda Prime to host hydrocarbon reserves at least one order of magnitude larger than those on Earth, and the exploitation of such reserves at the right stage of Vasudan history has allowed the technological boost that ultimately led them to become a space-faring species.<br /> <br /> Unlike Terrans, who have developed more on the technology branch than on an evolutionary scale in the past few thousand years, the Vasudans appear to have experienced an anomalous change a few millennia ago, the origin of which is still debated.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Fourth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> The most puzzling and contradictory perception of the Vasudans is the one that sees them as soldiers who would blindly follow any kind of order given by their general. The reality couldn't be any more different than this perception, supported by fragmented and anecdotal evidence.<br /> <br /> Though their respect towards authorities is unquestionable, applying to many endeavors beyond warfare, each Vasudan is asked to be judgmental and follow precise customs and courtesies to let someone with a higher rank know that they disagree about a choice. This occurrence is rare, but whenever it happens, it exposes a new facet of Vasudan culture and a way to interpret the formalities of authority in a more pragmatic manner. There are limited circumstances where any Vasudan could object to an extremely highly ranked member of their military or Parliament, and do so in a way that would seem absurd to us Terrans. Even in the greatest democracies of our past, the interaction between simple citizens or soldiers and their rules has always had some sort of filter, and our modern era is no exception, despite the GTA's status as a stable and solid democracy.<br /> <br /> Where does the difference lie, then? How come a supposed stricter respect of higher authorities also accounts for interactions between Vasudans whose ranks are vastly different? Some interpret this as a legacy of past times, when the lack of technology allowed more direct interactions between Vasudans of different ranks, though strictly regulated by precise rituals. According to a different interpretation, this may be due to one specific and ancient ritual of Vasudan culture, which used to be very common in small villages with one or two leaders. This inherited tradition expects each Vasudan, at least once in a lifetime, to perform a ritual conversation with a person of a much higher rank, and discuss particular subjects which are determined by respective ranks. The date and content of the conversation would then be a solid part of one's achievements, in a way that would resemble a Terran diploma. Ancient Vasudan tombs have been confirmed to have inscriptions related to this ritual.<br /> <br /> The truth may be within a combination of these two interpretations, which both differ quite a lot from what we've experienced in our own history. Imagine one of our ancestors getting the chance to talk to a king or ruler, and imagine the tomb having an inscription about that conversation as if it were a remarkable achievement, something that heirs would talk about for decades.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Fifth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> As a space faring species, could the Vasudans see the light of technological advance being darkened and shrouded by a veil of superstition? It appears that they potentially could. The Vasudans, regardless of their rank, take ancient texts and lessons from the past very seriously. Their concept of the past itself deserves its own explanation, as it constitutes a key to understanding this phenomenon.<br /> <br /> The main point here is that the words we use to describe these sources of knowledge for the Vasudan people diverge quite a bit from their actual meaning, as seen from their perspective. We talk about Vasudan mythology and prophecies, and by using these words, we carry on implications that don't match the real values of these from their perspective. In Earth's history, a mythology was essentially the religion of a defunct civilization, while a prophecy is something tied to supernatural powers, and therefore very weak once analyzed with reason in mind. This is absolutely not what Vasudan 'mythology' and 'prophecies' are about; both of them, while still vague in their words and open to dozens of different interpretations, are tied to reality in a way far greater than most ancient texts and inscriptions in Terran history.<br /> <br /> The paradox is that we've been influenced more by religion and superstition than the Vasudans have been, yet we took separate paths that ultimately led to our situation being reversed. Our own mythologies referred to hypothetical creatures and stories, while Vasudan 'mythologies' combined supernatural elements with primitive science, in an effort to explain natural phenomena and the intrinsic fundamentals of nature. How could this happen, how come we've ended up pretending to be the rational individuals, unlike our superstitious counterparts?<br /> <br /> Once again, it's a subject with multiple hypotheses and no clear explanations or answers can be given. Researchers, however, point to the Vasudans' religious and political stability over millennia as the main reason behind this difference. While incredibly varied on their own, Vasudan cultures share a common root dating back to millennia ago, and this may have allowed tales and scripts to be carried over hundreds of generations with no changes whatsoever to their influence. It's not the case for ancient Terran cultures, which were geographically constrained and have undergone radical changes on the scale of decades, not millennia. It goes without saying that, as the social and religious momentum in their society is maintained, ancient texts acquire more and more importance thanks to their age.<br /> <br /> This view, however, is not shared by many researchers who still see superstition as the source of these Vasudan behaviors.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Sixth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> Regardless of the Galactic Terran Alliance's monitoring of all texts and publications concerning the Vasudans, overwhelming evidence about their Parliament being seriously corrupted is hardly debatable. Such corruption is widespread and affects the lives of the Vasudan people in ways that, if hypothetically applied to the GTA itself, could fit the description of a not-so-benevolent dictatorship.<br /> <br /> Corruption has been confirmed to have characterized the Parliament for a significant portion of its history, though sudden increases have been experienced - based on the information that we have - following the colonization of nearby systems. As reported before in this manuscript, the Vasudans are more dependent on space colonization than we are, and it's no secret that something as critically important as the discovery of subspace would have tremendous implications. Early Vasudan subspace travel was severely regulated and inaccessible to most, and the Parliament worked hard to maintain the economic balances of such a great discovery. Space colonization has increased corruption within the Parliament as a tool to control the flow of resources and the consequent influence of those responsible for the harvesting of said resources. The war made things even worse, as military elites put pressure on a number of political debates for things that seem more strictly related to their attempt to gain more influence than actually make decisions relevant to the war effort. Despite all of these major drawbacks, the Parliament as a political infrastructure performs its job, and we have learned more than once that its corruption isn't always a sign of weakness. The background noise caused by deep conflicts of interest does not prevent this entity from ruling over the Vasudan Empire and responding to actions taken by the GTA.<br /> <br /> If we were to analyze the true potential of this phenomenon, we'd temporarily have to disregard the current political setting of the PVE. The current situation is atypical, as a war with another species undoubtedly makes certain interests fall to the wayside in favor of the struggle for survival, but what would happen in a different scenario? If anything, we estimate that the influence of certain elements within the Parliament may be so high that they could secretly divert resources, workforce and combatants to their own factions, if they wanted to. The institution is structured in a way that would allow a parallel fleet to the PVN to be formed and grown, albeit under specific circumstances.<br /> <br /> [[Category: Series Resurrecta]]</div>

To do so would help define the meaning of a military’s claim to 'victory' on a battlefield that spans an entire system.<br /> <br /> The days of the Great War are long gone. At that point, most of you weren't even born yet, and those among you who were would have been infants still learning how to walk and talk.<br /> <br /> People like me ''do'' remember that unique sense of terror. We were coming out of fourteen long years of conventional conflict with another species. The odds of two species encountering each other in space, let alone fighting each other, were so miniscule we couldn't even calculate them.<br /> <br /> Then the Shivans appeared. They redefined the concepts of threat, destruction, invasion and survival. They taught us what these words really meant, and made us realize that what counted as conquering a star system, or winning a war with another species, are both intrinsically dependent on who's the winner. A winner like the Shivans won't just achieve space superiority. It will also wipe all life and civilization from a planet, just as it did with Vasuda Prime.<br /> <br /> The sudden discovery of yet another species, the Ancients, allowed us to prevent Earth's fall to such a fate. <br /> <br /> Earth, a homeworld you have never visited, yet perceive as something important but only remotely tied to your life.<br /> <br /> The past is a key factor in shaping the future. Knowledge of the past will help the GTVA regain and maintain its glory. Some of you may have already heard the term 'The Lost Generation.' It is increasingly used as a way to describe those like you who have never been to Sol. Worry not, for you are not Lost. You will lead the future of humanity, which no longer needs its homeworld to survive and prosper.<br /> <br /> Let the new homeworld, our 'Neo Terra' of sorts, be everywhere you'll be calling home in the days, months, and years to come.<br /> <br /> Speech to new Modern History graduates at Polaris Public University<br /> July 10th, 2359<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ===[September 2nd, 2341] Report of Akheton Corporation Delegation to the Imperial Palace===<br /> For the attention of Emperor Khonsu II:<br /> <br /> It is with great honor and pleasure that we introduce the finalized report and digital model of Project Sobek. The tenth annex of this confidential document is focused on the possibility of implementing beam weapon technology in this design.<br /> <br /> As you are already aware, the concept of this design is based on declassified reports of the SCv Moloch, a 'corvette' class of warship encountered in the late stages of the Great War. <br /> <br /> At first erroneously interpreted as a large cruiser, the Moloch was something else. The Moloch is an intermediate class combining the speed and flexibility of cruisers with the firepower and endurance of destroyers. We have designated this class ‘corvette’.<br /> <br /> It proved to be so versatile that joint teams of Vasudan and Terran engineers analyzed all available reports on the few ships of this class that had been encountered. Subsequently the concept of the corvette class was introduced to strategists.<br /> <br /> Unlike the Shivan design we based our work on, what will likely become the GVC-V Sobek lacks a fighter bay. Our reports and tests proved that the inclusion of a fighter bay would significantly decrease the hull integrity of the warship without adding any tactical capabilities other than hosting a wing of small-to-medium fighters.<br /> <br /> Compared to the Moloch, however, the Sobek’s firepower is considerably greater and the sleek design is expected to make the Sobek more efficient in combat, both in attack and defense. This is a similar result to that of the Terran Deimos, which is also expected to be manufactured very soon. We believe the Sobek will fulfil a number of roles the Deimos may be too logistically complex to perform.<br /> <br /> Both ships will be vital for the future of Vasudan and Terran fleets. In our effort to renew our fleets, the Sobek will be the key to efficiencies in strategies, logistics and combat. Under the right conditions, as tested in the attached war simulations, two ships of this class can compete directly with any known destroyer and come out victorious.<br /> <br /> <br /> The final production phase awaits Your approval, Emperor.<br /> <br /> ===[March 5th, 2335] Epitaph in a devastated Ancient settlement in Altair IV===<br /> ''Discovered by Vasudan survivors from the Vasuda Prime massacre''&lt;br&gt;<br /> &quot;One survivor joined us two Glorious Homeworld cycles ago, the only survivor of an entire colony of our people escaping from a devastated system. It was truly a miracle.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It was so unbelievable at first that, for a moment, we thought it was bait, one way for the Destroyers to expose our settlement of survivors and make its location well known. It ultimately turned out to be a genuine spacecraft of our own, coming from several star systems away.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;This survivor piloting it was severely wounded, but we managed to provide basic cures. Among the data and archives carried out in the approaching emergency spacecraft, testimonies themselves of a prosperity long gone, we discovered how the Destroyers employed [Trains of Doom] in that system, as well as in neighboring systems, which were difficult to detect and monitor. Days after their disappearance, these massive convoys of evil would be followed by large Destroyer armadas, attacking our people from flanks and even from behind, in systems one or two [Subspace] jumps away from the frontlines.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The report from our people in that colony provided us with significant intelligence that, in many systems, the Destroyers have had hidden fleets capable of staying in stasis for millennia, before their reactivation by a Train of Doom. Once reactivated, the fleets would join their main force and eliminate whatever trace of our civilization in between.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;These same awakened fleets were seen employing a bombing tactic never seen before in the invasion, a weapon of terror that could use subspace to... [indecipherable due to excessive superficial damage.]&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The survivor, messenger of a doomed branch of our fallen Empire, ultimately passed away of a disease we were no longer able to cure with what little we now have. Its treatment would have needed just minutes in our old, great epochs of prosperity and glory. If anything, unlike us, he will not have to live through the last few remaining days of existence, eyewitnessing our complete extinction not only as a civilization, but as a species.&quot;<br /> <br /> ===[February 18th, 2320] Excerpt from &quot;An introduction to subspace, the great physical wonder&quot;===<br /> Subspace and gravity appear to be connected to each other, albeit in somewhat of a complex relationship. Although most of the features of subspace are still a mystery to us, we have observed a strong connection between it and gravitational fields. It doesn't necessarily mean that all of subspace requires the presence of gravity fields to allow travel, as vastly demonstrated by interstellar jump nodes, but it shows how, at the very least, the roots of this phenomenon are connected to gravity.<br /> <br /> Since the very beginning of subspace exploitation, it has been noted that the amount of energy necessary for an intrasystem jump is proportional to the intensity of the gravitational field, and its distribution with respect to a given craft's route. Jumping towards the center of a star system does in fact require less energy compared to a journey away from said center. The difference in terms of energy required is negligible for modern subspace drives, but it was a major factor in early experiments. It has also been proven how the proximity to an interstellar jump node does not act as an auxiliary gravity source, therefore not affecting the energy required for a jump.<br /> <br /> Intersystem jumps follow very different rules. The energy required for such jumps is way off the scale for small spacecraft, and a challenge for even the largest ships, but it is not proportional to the distance between two stable jump nodes. This leads one to assume, as described in greater detail in later chapters of this publication, that while intrasystem jumps are vastly affected by gravity, intersystem jumps actually rely on some kind of subspace ‘flow’ which, once entered, allows ships to pass through it with little extra effort beyond the energy expended from entering subspace. Gravity seems to play no role in this flow, as the gravitational field of connected star systems is negligible during the travel, for example, and there's no way it could play a role. There's no influence from external gravity sources, either, because the subspace flows pass through interstellar space, whose density is low. Further in the publications, hypotheses and experiments showing the existence of a subspace flow will be shown...<br /> <br /> ===[April 13th, 2365] Excerpt from the book 'Tales of a Wounded Great War Pilot'===<br /> We maintained secrecy over the Iksura freighters and their colossal cargo capacity for quite some time. The reason? It was deeply counterproductive in post Great War time to admit how inferior we were compared to the Shivans in fields other than offensive power. Well, that's my own hypothesis, and who knows if there's something else behind it.<br /> <br /> One thing I can tell for sure: facing them in combat was as frightening as facing a destroyer or similar warship. You're there, out in the void of space, pretending to be shooting at a sitting duck, except the sitting duck and its cargo are more well armored, armed and protected than one of our own Fenris-class cruisers. Think about that, let it sink in, then add one important factor to the equation: a jamming field whose strength and range would effectively prevent any sensor lock from being gained. No missiles that required a lock could be launched against these... Doomtrains. None at all.<br /> <br /> A jamming that would not only compromise your offensive capacity, but it would also cut you off from your allies, their messages, their calls for help and so on. That was a powerful weapon, too, at times more frightening than defensive turrets. There was a drawback to the Doomtrains, however: as we suspected, and later tested directly in combat, the destruction of any of the components in the chain, including the towing freighter itself, would have triggered a chain reaction causing the immediate destruction of all following units. The mechanism by which this happened, according to undisclosed information, was probably due to an automated Shivan mechanism that would self destruct each lost component, thus preventing its capture by any kind of enemy.<br /> <br /> We then assumed that only the most sensitive cargo would be carried by Doomtrains. Attempts to even try and scan the cargo proved impossible, due to the intense jamming field and the self-destruct mechanism. Never in our interstellar conflicts have we seen such a mysterious, deceptive and intriguing freighter. It's not the ship type we would normally link to all these characteristics, as we believe actual warships to be more than a threat. But what if the Iksuras were responsible for maintaining entire Shivan fleets with their precious cargo? That would make them second only to the Lucifer in terms of strategic importance. That's the lesson we learned at Ross 128.<br /> <br /> ===[August 5th, 2337] Classified transcript from the interrogation of a Hammer of Light fanatic===<br /> &quot;To what degree were you involved in the final efforts of the Alliance in countering the Shivans in Ross 128?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I was deployed by my guru to investigate Shivan activity in the system.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;How was this activity carried out?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I was the pilot of a retrofitted Seshat scout fighter. I had enough supplies in my spacecraft to perform a reconnaissance mission lasting an entire month. I then staged my loss in a reconnaissance operation, self destructed my craft, and provided my guru with the information he needed. One of our comrades picked me up and organized my transfer back to safe systems.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;What kind of information have you been able to provide, and by what means?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We learned that the Destroyers, as per our prophecies, were not defeated. There was something else besides the Lucifer controlling them. It was simply replacing the Lucifer's lost control. It then would have conquered Vasudan and Terran space, succeeding where the Lucifer finally failed.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I see. Continue...&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Those were rough times for our ideals. We seemed doomed, oblivion the only possible outcome. Millennia of prophecies almost seemed like painful illusions, yet the truth was even greater than our expectations. That truth had to be delivered back to our systems and stop the mass defections and suicides among Hammer of Light loyalists.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Were you aware of other activities being carried out in the frontline?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Yes, I know that some of our own loyalists were onboard the PVD Imhotep. Others were spread amongst the members of the battle group. Every single ship had some of our faithful onboard. Some of us managed to slow down joint Vasudan-Terran operations, performing surgical strikes and driving PVE and GTA strategists into chaos. They were ultimately fooled into linking those failures to new Destroyer designs we hadn't seen before in the conflict. That allowed us to go unnoticed for weeks.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Describe one such act of sabotage to joint Vasudan-Terran operations.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It happened days after the destruction of the Lucifer. Some of our loyalists were sent to deal with a Cain cruiser, in Delta Serpentis, which seemed very well guarded for a ship of its class. We believed it was the sign of something greater, and the moment we saw the Shivans using a previously unseen weapon, we realized it was time to become messengers of a new truth. We haven't stopped ever since.&quot;<br /> <br /> ===[January 24th, 2368] Civilian Media Investigation Report &quot;Questions they won't let us answer about the Shivans&quot;===<br /> ''Aired on most public GTVA channels ''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> If we really want to get to the bottom of the problem, the reason behind all of the big unanswered questions, we have to go back to where everything started.<br /> <br /> If you're guessing what star we're showing right now, you're guessing right, it's Ross 128. Don't be fooled by this fiery glow coming from a red dwarf. The mysteries that lay in this system are far greater than previously thought.<br /> <br /> Some of you watching this episode are Capellan refugees, looking for a new place to call home. You might as well wonder what lies between the tragedy of your homeworlds' collapse and the source of the Shivan incursions in the Great War. To date, there are no clear - let alone official - explanations on how the Great War actually ended. There's the majestic, glorious end - that of the Lucifer - but there was an actual end to the war, the last encounter between a Shivan and a Terran or Vasudan ship.<br /> <br /> Details on this last encounter are unknown. We have no idea how it took place, we know it happened in this system, somewhere in the void of space, yet it led to the disappearance of the Shivans for over three decades. We still hear from scientists who believe the Shivans used interstellar jump drives capable of not relying on stable jump nodes, proving how such drives may theoretically be possible, but how accurate are these hypotheses?<br /> <br /> Furthermore, we believe that hiding the truth from honest GTVA citizens is an insult to the sacrifices committed by our loved ones in the past forty-five years of galactic conflict and challenging reconstruction efforts. We may be as resilient as phoenixes rising from ashes, but at what point do we accept the ignorance of the past, especially when said ignorance is driven by somebody? How can we possibly live our lives and even plan to reopen the Sol jump node using Knossos-derived technology, if we're so unsure about what's behind us?<br /> <br /> Should we even plan to go this far, knowing that, even if it is sealed from the rest of colonized space, Sol is - as far as we know and can extrapolate - a safe place?<br /> <br /> ===[November 14th, 2352] Memories of a veteran from the 53rd Hammerheads===<br /> ''Written on his personal diary, recovered by the heirs after his death, on September 18th, 2388''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Shortly after our final victory over the Lucifer, I felt relieved about the possibility of not facing the Shivans ever again. This feeling has changed over the years, of course, effectively turning me into what I am right now. I am now obsessed, puzzled by what I, for a long time, believed was but a memory of the past. It now chases me, over and over, even in my dreams. I seem to be the only person around here who spends most of the day thinking about what lies beyond the sealed jump node.<br /> <br /> The victory over such an enemy came at a price going far beyond the meaning of what we learned from past history, when it comes to conflicts. There was a military victory, at least a local one, and that was the moment the Lucifer fell to our attack aimed at its multiple reactors. But a seal was imposed, and one system had to be cut off from the others, dismantling decades of space colonization in fractions of a second. That was the ultimate cost of our victory.<br /> <br /> We have no idea about the evolution of the conflict on the other side of the node. There are many possibilities, all driven by questions I will never be able to answer, as no one probably will for many years to come. I do wonder, however, if the war for survival on the other side had a similar ending to what happened here, in the form of a second, maybe a third or fourth, sealing of a system from the cosmic net of subspace flow.<br /> <br /> Is this the lesson learnt from the Destroyers? Disappear into the oblivion of endless space, with your species going extinct, or merely slow down the process by self isolating? Is isolation the final solution over a galactic conflict with an enemy that won't come for your resources, instead overwhelms you with technology and numbers, then aims to cancel your entire civilization with no trace whatsoever of a contact, a will for peace?<br /> <br /> Are the survivors on the other side, providing that they're still alive, in a chasing marathon with destiny, a fight for survival where cutting the branches of a colossal tree is the only way to preserve life?<br /> <br /> ==[[The Spirit of Ptah]]==<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] First excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> One thing that may be more due to common stereotypes than actual proof and evidence of their actions, is their supposed tendency to give individual lives less of a value compared to us. Suicides, kamikaze attempts and possibly brave actions with no consideration of the possible consequences, all seem to be more frequent in Vasudan culture compared to our own tendencies. An equal stereotype from their end sees us as greedy and unable to work together for a common, greater goal, as we are doomed to let our individual interests overcome it.<br /> <br /> The ongoing war with this alien species leads us - if we want to analyze their culture objectively - to view their behaviors in combat separately from what they do in civilian life. From what we understand, Vasudans with roles and responsibilities have enormous psychological pressure, regardless of their skills. They're meritocratic, in the sense that they seem to ignore all internal differences with respect to social rank, thus allowing the most skilled and talented of them to have notable careers in the context of their respective castes, and only the highest of ranks are predominantly driven by inheritance.<br /> <br /> Vasudans with specific roles in politics and the academic world take this pressure very, very seriously. Governors failing to achieve specific pre-set objectives of their political mandates may oftentimes end their careers in dishonored retirement, or even commit suicide. Lecturers and researchers whose works are proven to be weak or wrong under strict checks within their communities may also end their careers so abruptly. All of this happens in our own culture, too, but more rarely, thereby leading to rigid stereotypes on both sides.<br /> <br /> While, from the Vasudans' perspective, all of this may be an interpretation of death as a necessary means to obtain honor and fulfill some particular goal, this can be actually interpreted as their way to adore life and what it offers.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Second excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> A lot has been written and said about the Vasudan language and its countless dialects, with stereotypes indicating such forms of expressions as absurdly complicated, as words may change - even radically so - depending on social rank, the distance to Vasuda Prime, the underlying circumstances of the conversation and myriad other factors.<br /> <br /> This extra complexity, which adds to the overall complexity of the many thousands of dialects spoken by the Vasudans, may seem difficult to understand and justify by trying to relate it to modern Terran languages. It's commonly interpreted, in fact, as yet another sign of ritualism and superstition injected by the Vasudans into virtually any endeavor in their lives, with the language being just one of the many examples supporting this thesis. As most linguists will agree, however, it doesn't differ that much from what our own languages have been based on in the past few millennia. While the overall complexity of these variations wasn't comparable to that of Vasudan languages, we have many notable examples in our own history proving that, unlike what the stereotypes seem to indicate, adding complexity to text and conversations is not a purely Vasudan tendency.<br /> <br /> To be more specific, in Terran history, with only a few exceptions still persisting today, languages and dialects have taken into account contexts that would cause them to be difficult to understand under modern circumstances. One such factor was social rank, with differences depending on who was talking and who said person was talking to. All known examples were constrained by the fact that they were spoken by natives with extremely limited technological capabilities, as they obviously weren't space faring populations, but the fundamentals we extrapolate from archeological findings point to an apparent convergence.<br /> <br /> Who knows with any certainty? Perhaps, had Terran history proceeded differently, we would be speaking with that same extra reverential complexity that the Vasudan language is built upon.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Third excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> Vasuda Prime, the fourth planet of the Vasuda system, is the homeworld of this species at war with us. Unlike we Terrans, who managed to establish colonies on many planets and satellites of Sol, the Vasudans had to face a much greater challenge, as Vasuda Prime is the only major celestial body compatible with exploitable colonization in that system, so they've relied a lot on jump nodes to found new colonies in nearby systems. The discovery of subspace, in fact, was demonstrably much more of a blessing to the Vasudans than it was for us, and this is mostly due to Sol's peculiarities. We don't have the same need to expand our hegemony to other systems. This is one of the reasons why many suspect that the war was doomed to start regardless of the outcome of the two species’ first contacts, though this is still open to debate.<br /> <br /> The planet is a rather tough environment, and many question how the Vasudans evolved and developed in such a scenario. Its landmass is divided into two major supercontinents which underwent a rifting event only a few million years ago, and are still moving apart from each other. The current geodynamic setting of Vasuda is similar, although far from equal, to that seen on Earth between the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras. Much like with Earth over 250 million years ago, the formation of a single supercontinent - Pangaea, in our case - may lead to radical changes in the environments, with the expansion of deserts in the inner regions resulting in planetwide mass extinctions. Vasuda Prime hosted a colossal desert prior to the rifting event, caused by the collision of smaller continents, and even now, as the two major supercontinents are diverging, the surface is still mostly dominated by deserts. The Vasudans are believed to have evolved in coastal regions of the southern supercontinent, whose climate was more temperate, though still challenging. These geodynamical settings and the timing of past continental collisions have allowed Vasuda Prime to host hydrocarbon reserves at least one order of magnitude larger than those on Earth, and the exploitation of such reserves at the right stage of Vasudan history has allowed the technological boost that ultimately led them to become a space-faring species.<br /> <br /> Unlike Terrans, who have developed more on the technology branch than on an evolutionary scale in the past few thousand years, the Vasudans appear to have experienced an anomalous change a few millennia ago, the origin of which is still debated.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Fourth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> The most puzzling and contradictory perception of the Vasudans is the one that sees them as soldiers who would blindly follow any kind of order given by their general. The reality couldn't be any more different than this perception, supported by fragmented and anecdotal evidence.<br /> <br /> Though their respect towards authorities is unquestionable, applying to many endeavors beyond warfare, each Vasudan is asked to be judgmental and follow precise customs and courtesies to let someone with a higher rank know that they disagree about a choice. This occurrence is rare, but whenever it happens, it exposes a new facet of Vasudan culture and a way to interpret the formalities of authority in a more pragmatic manner. There are limited circumstances where any Vasudan could object to an extremely highly ranked member of their military or Parliament, and do so in a way that would seem absurd to us Terrans. Even in the greatest democracies of our past, the interaction between simple citizens or soldiers and their rules has always had some sort of filter, and our modern era is no exception, despite the GTA's status as a stable and solid democracy.<br /> <br /> Where does the difference lie, then? How come a supposed stricter respect of higher authorities also accounts for interactions between Vasudans whose ranks are vastly different? Some interpret this as a legacy of past times, when the lack of technology allowed more direct interactions between Vasudans of different ranks, though strictly regulated by precise rituals. According to a different interpretation, this may be due to one specific and ancient ritual of Vasudan culture, which used to be very common in small villages with one or two leaders. This inherited tradition expects each Vasudan, at least once in a lifetime, to perform a ritual conversation with a person of a much higher rank, and discuss particular subjects which are determined by respective ranks. The date and content of the conversation would then be a solid part of one's achievements, in a way that would resemble a Terran diploma. Ancient Vasudan tombs have been confirmed to have inscriptions related to this ritual.<br /> <br /> The truth may be within a combination of these two interpretations, which both differ quite a lot from what we've experienced in our own history. Imagine one of our ancestors getting the chance to talk to a king or ruler, and imagine the tomb having an inscription about that conversation as if it were a remarkable achievement, something that heirs would talk about for decades.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Fifth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> As a space faring species, could the Vasudans see the light of technological advance being darkened and shrouded by a veil of superstition? It appears that they potentially could. The Vasudans, regardless of their rank, take ancient texts and lessons from the past very seriously. Their concept of the past itself deserves its own explanation, as it constitutes a key to understanding this phenomenon.<br /> <br /> The main point here is that the words we use to describe these sources of knowledge for the Vasudan people diverge quite a bit from their actual meaning, as seen from their perspective. We talk about Vasudan mythology and prophecies, and by using these words, we carry on implications that don't match the real values of these from their perspective. In Earth's history, a mythology was essentially the religion of a defunct civilization, while a prophecy is something tied to supernatural powers, and therefore very weak once analyzed with reason in mind. This is absolutely not what Vasudan 'mythology' and 'prophecies' are about; both of them, while still vague in their words and open to dozens of different interpretations, are tied to reality in a way far greater than most ancient texts and inscriptions in Terran history.<br /> <br /> The paradox is that we've been influenced more by religion and superstition than the Vasudans have been, yet we took separate paths that ultimately led to our situation being reversed. Our own mythologies referred to hypothetical creatures and stories, while Vasudan 'mythologies' combined supernatural elements with primitive science, in an effort to explain natural phenomena and the intrinsic fundamentals of nature. How could this happen, how come we've ended up pretending to be the rational individuals, unlike our superstitious counterparts?<br /> <br /> Once again, it's a subject with multiple hypotheses and no clear explanations or answers can be given. Researchers, however, point to the Vasudans' religious and political stability over millennia as the main reason behind this difference. While incredibly varied on their own, Vasudan cultures share a common root dating back to millennia ago, and this may have allowed tales and scripts to be carried over hundreds of generations with no changes whatsoever to their influence. It's not the case for ancient Terran cultures, which were geographically constrained and have undergone radical changes on the scale of decades, not millennia. It goes without saying that, as the social and religious momentum in their society is maintained, ancient texts acquire more and more importance thanks to their age.<br /> <br /> This view, however, is not shared by many researchers who still see superstition as the source of these Vasudan behaviors.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Sixth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> Regardless of the Galactic Terran Alliance's monitoring of all texts and publications concerning the Vasudans, overwhelming evidence about their Parliament being seriously corrupted is hardly debatable. Such corruption is widespread and affects the lives of the Vasudan people in ways that, if hypothetically applied to the GTA itself, could fit the description of a not-so-benevolent dictatorship.<br /> <br /> Corruption has been confirmed to have characterized the Parliament for a significant portion of its history, though sudden increases have been experienced - based on the information that we have - following the colonization of nearby systems. As reported before in this manuscript, the Vasudans are more dependent on space colonization than we are, and it's no secret that something as critically important as the discovery of subspace would have tremendous implications. Early Vasudan subspace travel was severely regulated and inaccessible to most, and the Parliament worked hard to maintain the economic balances of such a great discovery. Space colonization has increased corruption within the Parliament as a tool to control the flow of resources and the consequent influence of those responsible for the harvesting of said resources. The war made things even worse, as military elites put pressure on a number of political debates for things that seem more strictly related to their attempt to gain more influence than actually make decisions relevant to the war effort. Despite all of these major drawbacks, the Parliament as a political infrastructure performs its job, and we have learned more than once that its corruption isn't always a sign of weakness. The background noise caused by deep conflicts of interest does not prevent this entity from ruling over the Vasudan Empire and responding to actions taken by the GTA.<br /> <br /> If we were to analyze the true potential of this phenomenon, we'd temporarily have to disregard the current political setting of the PVE. The current situation is atypical, as a war with another species undoubtedly makes certain interests fall to the wayside in favor of the struggle for survival, but what would happen in a different scenario? If anything, we estimate that the influence of certain elements within the Parliament may be so high that they could secretly divert resources, workforce and combatants to their own factions, if they wanted to. The institution is structured in a way that would allow a parallel fleet to the PVN to be formed and grown, albeit under specific circumstances.<br /> <br /> [[Category: Series Resurrecta]]</div>

To do so would help define the meaning of a military’s claim to 'victory' on a battlefield that spans an entire system.<br /> <br /> The days of the Great War are long gone. At that point, most of you weren't even born yet, and those among you who were would have been infants still learning how to walk and talk.<br /> <br /> People like me ''do'' remember that unique sense of terror. We were coming out of fourteen long years of conventional conflict with another species. The odds of two species encountering each other in space, let alone fighting each other, were so miniscule we couldn't even calculate them.<br /> <br /> Then the Shivans appeared. They redefined the concepts of threat, destruction, invasion and survival. They taught us what these words really meant, and made us realize that what counted as conquering a star system, or winning a war with another species, are both intrinsically dependent on who's the winner. A winner like the Shivans won't just achieve space superiority. It will also wipe all life and civilization from a planet, just as it did with Vasuda Prime.<br /> <br /> The sudden discovery of yet another species, the Ancients, allowed us to prevent Earth's fall to such a fate. <br /> <br /> Earth, a homeworld you have never visited, yet perceive as something important but only remotely tied to your life.<br /> <br /> The past is a key factor in shaping the future. Knowledge of the past will help the GTVA regain and maintain its glory. Some of you may have already heard the term 'The Lost Generation.' It is increasingly used as a way to describe those like you who have never been to Sol. Worry not, for you are not Lost. You will lead the future of humanity, which no longer needs its homeworld to survive and prosper.<br /> <br /> Let the new homeworld, our 'Neo Terra' of sorts, be everywhere you'll be calling home in the days, months, and years to come.<br /> <br /> Speech to new Modern History graduates at Polaris Public University<br /> July 10th, 2359<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ===[September 2nd, 2341] Report of Akheton Corporation Delegation to the Imperial Palace===<br /> For the attention of Emperor Khonsu II:<br /> <br /> It is with great honor and pleasure that we introduce the finalized report and digital model of Project Sobek. The tenth annex of this confidential document is focused on the possibility of implementing beam weapon technology in this design.<br /> <br /> As you are already aware, the concept of this design is based on declassified reports of the SCv Moloch, a 'corvette' class of warship encountered in the late stages of the Great War. <br /> <br /> At first erroneously interpreted as a large cruiser, the Moloch was something else. The Moloch is an intermediate class combining the speed and flexibility of a cruiser with the firepower and endurance of destroyers. We have designated this class ‘corvette’.<br /> <br /> It proved to be so versatile that joint teams of Vasudan and Terran engineers analyzed all available reports on the few ships of this class that had been encountered. Subsequently the concept of the corvette class was introduced to strategists.<br /> <br /> Unlike the Shivan design we based our work on, what will likely become the GVC-V Sobek lacks a fighter bay. Our reports and tests proved that the inclusion of a fighter bay would significantly decrease the hull integrity of the warship without adding any tactical capabilities other than hosting a wing of small-to-medium fighters.<br /> <br /> Compared to the Moloch, however, the Sobek’s firepower is considerably greater and the sleek design is expected to make the Sobek more efficient in combat, both in attack and defense. This is a similar result to that of the Terran Deimos, which is also expected to be manufactured very soon. We believe the Sobek will fulfil a number of roles the Deimos may be too logistically complex to perform.<br /> <br /> Both ships will be vital for the future of Vasudan and Terran fleets. In our effort to renew our fleets, the Sobek will be the key to efficiencies in strategies, logistics and combat. Under the right conditions, as tested in the attached war simulations, two ships of this class can compete directly with any known destroyer and come out victorious.<br /> <br /> <br /> The final production phase awaits Your approval, Emperor.<br /> <br /> ===[March 5th, 2335] Epitaph in a devastated Ancient settlement in Altair IV===<br /> ''Discovered by Vasudan survivors from the Vasuda Prime massacre''&lt;br&gt;<br /> &quot;One survivor joined us two Glorious Homeworld cycles ago, the only survivor of an entire colony of our people escaping from a devastated system. It was truly a miracle.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It was so unbelievable at first that, for a moment, we thought it was bait, one way for the Destroyers to expose our settlement of survivors and make its location well known. It ultimately turned out to be a genuine spacecraft of our own, coming from several star systems away.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;This survivor piloting it was severely wounded, but we managed to provide basic cures. Among the data and archives carried out in the approaching emergency spacecraft, testimonies themselves of a prosperity long gone, we discovered how the Destroyers employed [Trains of Doom] in that system, as well as in neighboring systems, which were difficult to detect and monitor. Days after their disappearance, these massive convoys of evil would be followed by large Destroyer armadas, attacking our people from flanks and even from behind, in systems one or two [Subspace] jumps away from the frontlines.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The report from our people in that colony provided us with significant intelligence that, in many systems, the Destroyers have had hidden fleets capable of staying in stasis for millennia, before their reactivation by a Train of Doom. Once reactivated, the fleets would join their main force and eliminate whatever trace of our civilization in between.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;These same awakened fleets were seen employing a bombing tactic never seen before in the invasion, a weapon of terror that could use subspace to... [indecipherable due to excessive superficial damage.]&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The survivor, messenger of a doomed branch of our fallen Empire, ultimately passed away of a disease we were no longer able to cure with what little we now have. Its treatment would have needed just minutes in our old, great epochs of prosperity and glory. If anything, unlike us, he will not have to live through the last few remaining days of existence, eyewitnessing our complete extinction not only as a civilization, but as a species.&quot;<br /> <br /> ===[February 18th, 2320] Excerpt from &quot;An introduction to subspace, the great physical wonder&quot;===<br /> Subspace and gravity appear to be connected to each other, albeit in somewhat of a complex relationship. Although most of the features of subspace are still a mystery to us, we have observed a strong connection between it and gravitational fields. It doesn't necessarily mean that all of subspace requires the presence of gravity fields to allow travel, as vastly demonstrated by interstellar jump nodes, but it shows how, at the very least, the roots of this phenomenon are connected to gravity.<br /> <br /> Since the very beginning of subspace exploitation, it has been noted that the amount of energy necessary for an intrasystem jump is proportional to the intensity of the gravitational field, and its distribution with respect to a given craft's route. Jumping towards the center of a star system does in fact require less energy compared to a journey away from said center. The difference in terms of energy required is negligible for modern subspace drives, but it was a major factor in early experiments. It has also been proven how the proximity to an interstellar jump node does not act as an auxiliary gravity source, therefore not affecting the energy required for a jump.<br /> <br /> Intersystem jumps follow very different rules. The energy required for such jumps is way off the scale for small spacecraft, and a challenge for even the largest ships, but it is not proportional to the distance between two stable jump nodes. This leads one to assume, as described in greater detail in later chapters of this publication, that while intrasystem jumps are vastly affected by gravity, intersystem jumps actually rely on some kind of subspace ‘flow’ which, once entered, allows ships to pass through it with little extra effort beyond the energy expended from entering subspace. Gravity seems to play no role in this flow, as the gravitational field of connected star systems is negligible during the travel, for example, and there's no way it could play a role. There's no influence from external gravity sources, either, because the subspace flows pass through interstellar space, whose density is low. Further in the publications, hypotheses and experiments showing the existence of a subspace flow will be shown...<br /> <br /> ===[April 13th, 2365] Excerpt from the book 'Tales of a Wounded Great War Pilot'===<br /> We maintained secrecy over the Iksura freighters and their colossal cargo capacity for quite some time. The reason? It was deeply counterproductive in post Great War time to admit how inferior we were compared to the Shivans in fields other than offensive power. Well, that's my own hypothesis, and who knows if there's something else behind it.<br /> <br /> One thing I can tell for sure: facing them in combat was as frightening as facing a destroyer or similar warship. You're there, out in the void of space, pretending to be shooting at a sitting duck, except the sitting duck and its cargo are more well armored, armed and protected than one of our own Fenris-class cruisers. Think about that, let it sink in, then add one important factor to the equation: a jamming field whose strength and range would effectively prevent any sensor lock from being gained. No missiles that required a lock could be launched against these... Doomtrains. None at all.<br /> <br /> A jamming that would not only compromise your offensive capacity, but it would also cut you off from your allies, their messages, their calls for help and so on. That was a powerful weapon, too, at times more frightening than defensive turrets. There was a drawback to the Doomtrains, however: as we suspected, and later tested directly in combat, the destruction of any of the components in the chain, including the towing freighter itself, would have triggered a chain reaction causing the immediate destruction of all following units. The mechanism by which this happened, according to undisclosed information, was probably due to an automated Shivan mechanism that would self destruct each lost component, thus preventing its capture by any kind of enemy.<br /> <br /> We then assumed that only the most sensitive cargo would be carried by Doomtrains. Attempts to even try and scan the cargo proved impossible, due to the intense jamming field and the self-destruct mechanism. Never in our interstellar conflicts have we seen such a mysterious, deceptive and intriguing freighter. It's not the ship type we would normally link to all these characteristics, as we believe actual warships to be more than a threat. But what if the Iksuras were responsible for maintaining entire Shivan fleets with their precious cargo? That would make them second only to the Lucifer in terms of strategic importance. That's the lesson we learned at Ross 128.<br /> <br /> ===[August 5th, 2337] Classified transcript from the interrogation of a Hammer of Light fanatic===<br /> &quot;To what degree were you involved in the final efforts of the Alliance in countering the Shivans in Ross 128?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I was deployed by my guru to investigate Shivan activity in the system.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;How was this activity carried out?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I was the pilot of a retrofitted Seshat scout fighter. I had enough supplies in my spacecraft to perform a reconnaissance mission lasting an entire month. I then staged my loss in a reconnaissance operation, self destructed my craft, and provided my guru with the information he needed. One of our comrades picked me up and organized my transfer back to safe systems.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;What kind of information have you been able to provide, and by what means?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We learned that the Destroyers, as per our prophecies, were not defeated. There was something else besides the Lucifer controlling them. It was simply replacing the Lucifer's lost control. It then would have conquered Vasudan and Terran space, succeeding where the Lucifer finally failed.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I see. Continue...&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Those were rough times for our ideals. We seemed doomed, oblivion the only possible outcome. Millennia of prophecies almost seemed like painful illusions, yet the truth was even greater than our expectations. That truth had to be delivered back to our systems and stop the mass defections and suicides among Hammer of Light loyalists.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Were you aware of other activities being carried out in the frontline?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Yes, I know that some of our own loyalists were onboard the PVD Imhotep. Others were spread amongst the members of the battle group. Every single ship had some of our faithful onboard. Some of us managed to slow down joint Vasudan-Terran operations, performing surgical strikes and driving PVE and GTA strategists into chaos. They were ultimately fooled into linking those failures to new Destroyer designs we hadn't seen before in the conflict. That allowed us to go unnoticed for weeks.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Describe one such act of sabotage to joint Vasudan-Terran operations.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It happened days after the destruction of the Lucifer. Some of our loyalists were sent to deal with a Cain cruiser, in Delta Serpentis, which seemed very well guarded for a ship of its class. We believed it was the sign of something greater, and the moment we saw the Shivans using a previously unseen weapon, we realized it was time to become messengers of a new truth. We haven't stopped ever since.&quot;<br /> <br /> ===[January 24th, 2368] Civilian Media Investigation Report &quot;Questions they won't let us answer about the Shivans&quot;===<br /> ''Aired on most public GTVA channels ''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> If we really want to get to the bottom of the problem, the reason behind all of the big unanswered questions, we have to go back to where everything started.<br /> <br /> If you're guessing what star we're showing right now, you're guessing right, it's Ross 128. Don't be fooled by this fiery glow coming from a red dwarf. The mysteries that lay in this system are far greater than previously thought.<br /> <br /> Some of you watching this episode are Capellan refugees, looking for a new place to call home. You might as well wonder what lies between the tragedy of your homeworlds' collapse and the source of the Shivan incursions in the Great War. To date, there are no clear - let alone official - explanations on how the Great War actually ended. There's the majestic, glorious end - that of the Lucifer - but there was an actual end to the war, the last encounter between a Shivan and a Terran or Vasudan ship.<br /> <br /> Details on this last encounter are unknown. We have no idea how it took place, we know it happened in this system, somewhere in the void of space, yet it led to the disappearance of the Shivans for over three decades. We still hear from scientists who believe the Shivans used interstellar jump drives capable of not relying on stable jump nodes, proving how such drives may theoretically be possible, but how accurate are these hypotheses?<br /> <br /> Furthermore, we believe that hiding the truth from honest GTVA citizens is an insult to the sacrifices committed by our loved ones in the past forty-five years of galactic conflict and challenging reconstruction efforts. We may be as resilient as phoenixes rising from ashes, but at what point do we accept the ignorance of the past, especially when said ignorance is driven by somebody? How can we possibly live our lives and even plan to reopen the Sol jump node using Knossos-derived technology, if we're so unsure about what's behind us?<br /> <br /> Should we even plan to go this far, knowing that, even if it is sealed from the rest of colonized space, Sol is - as far as we know and can extrapolate - a safe place?<br /> <br /> ===[November 14th, 2352] Memories of a veteran from the 53rd Hammerheads===<br /> ''Written on his personal diary, recovered by the heirs after his death, on September 18th, 2388''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Shortly after our final victory over the Lucifer, I felt relieved about the possibility of not facing the Shivans ever again. This feeling has changed over the years, of course, effectively turning me into what I am right now. I am now obsessed, puzzled by what I, for a long time, believed was but a memory of the past. It now chases me, over and over, even in my dreams. I seem to be the only person around here who spends most of the day thinking about what lies beyond the sealed jump node.<br /> <br /> The victory over such an enemy came at a price going far beyond the meaning of what we learned from past history, when it comes to conflicts. There was a military victory, at least a local one, and that was the moment the Lucifer fell to our attack aimed at its multiple reactors. But a seal was imposed, and one system had to be cut off from the others, dismantling decades of space colonization in fractions of a second. That was the ultimate cost of our victory.<br /> <br /> We have no idea about the evolution of the conflict on the other side of the node. There are many possibilities, all driven by questions I will never be able to answer, as no one probably will for many years to come. I do wonder, however, if the war for survival on the other side had a similar ending to what happened here, in the form of a second, maybe a third or fourth, sealing of a system from the cosmic net of subspace flow.<br /> <br /> Is this the lesson learnt from the Destroyers? Disappear into the oblivion of endless space, with your species going extinct, or merely slow down the process by self isolating? Is isolation the final solution over a galactic conflict with an enemy that won't come for your resources, instead overwhelms you with technology and numbers, then aims to cancel your entire civilization with no trace whatsoever of a contact, a will for peace?<br /> <br /> Are the survivors on the other side, providing that they're still alive, in a chasing marathon with destiny, a fight for survival where cutting the branches of a colossal tree is the only way to preserve life?<br /> <br /> ==[[The Spirit of Ptah]]==<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] First excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> One thing that may be more due to common stereotypes than actual proof and evidence of their actions, is their supposed tendency to give individual lives less of a value compared to us. Suicides, kamikaze attempts and possibly brave actions with no consideration of the possible consequences, all seem to be more frequent in Vasudan culture compared to our own tendencies. An equal stereotype from their end sees us as greedy and unable to work together for a common, greater goal, as we are doomed to let our individual interests overcome it.<br /> <br /> The ongoing war with this alien species leads us - if we want to analyze their culture objectively - to view their behaviors in combat separately from what they do in civilian life. From what we understand, Vasudans with roles and responsibilities have enormous psychological pressure, regardless of their skills. They're meritocratic, in the sense that they seem to ignore all internal differences with respect to social rank, thus allowing the most skilled and talented of them to have notable careers in the context of their respective castes, and only the highest of ranks are predominantly driven by inheritance.<br /> <br /> Vasudans with specific roles in politics and the academic world take this pressure very, very seriously. Governors failing to achieve specific pre-set objectives of their political mandates may oftentimes end their careers in dishonored retirement, or even commit suicide. Lecturers and researchers whose works are proven to be weak or wrong under strict checks within their communities may also end their careers so abruptly. All of this happens in our own culture, too, but more rarely, thereby leading to rigid stereotypes on both sides.<br /> <br /> While, from the Vasudans' perspective, all of this may be an interpretation of death as a necessary means to obtain honor and fulfill some particular goal, this can be actually interpreted as their way to adore life and what it offers.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Second excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> A lot has been written and said about the Vasudan language and its countless dialects, with stereotypes indicating such forms of expressions as absurdly complicated, as words may change - even radically so - depending on social rank, the distance to Vasuda Prime, the underlying circumstances of the conversation and myriad other factors.<br /> <br /> This extra complexity, which adds to the overall complexity of the many thousands of dialects spoken by the Vasudans, may seem difficult to understand and justify by trying to relate it to modern Terran languages. It's commonly interpreted, in fact, as yet another sign of ritualism and superstition injected by the Vasudans into virtually any endeavor in their lives, with the language being just one of the many examples supporting this thesis. As most linguists will agree, however, it doesn't differ that much from what our own languages have been based on in the past few millennia. While the overall complexity of these variations wasn't comparable to that of Vasudan languages, we have many notable examples in our own history proving that, unlike what the stereotypes seem to indicate, adding complexity to text and conversations is not a purely Vasudan tendency.<br /> <br /> To be more specific, in Terran history, with only a few exceptions still persisting today, languages and dialects have taken into account contexts that would cause them to be difficult to understand under modern circumstances. One such factor was social rank, with differences depending on who was talking and who said person was talking to. All known examples were constrained by the fact that they were spoken by natives with extremely limited technological capabilities, as they obviously weren't space faring populations, but the fundamentals we extrapolate from archeological findings point to an apparent convergence.<br /> <br /> Who knows with any certainty? Perhaps, had Terran history proceeded differently, we would be speaking with that same extra reverential complexity that the Vasudan language is built upon.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Third excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> Vasuda Prime, the fourth planet of the Vasuda system, is the homeworld of this species at war with us. Unlike we Terrans, who managed to establish colonies on many planets and satellites of Sol, the Vasudans had to face a much greater challenge, as Vasuda Prime is the only major celestial body compatible with exploitable colonization in that system, so they've relied a lot on jump nodes to found new colonies in nearby systems. The discovery of subspace, in fact, was demonstrably much more of a blessing to the Vasudans than it was for us, and this is mostly due to Sol's peculiarities. We don't have the same need to expand our hegemony to other systems. This is one of the reasons why many suspect that the war was doomed to start regardless of the outcome of the two species’ first contacts, though this is still open to debate.<br /> <br /> The planet is a rather tough environment, and many question how the Vasudans evolved and developed in such a scenario. Its landmass is divided into two major supercontinents which underwent a rifting event only a few million years ago, and are still moving apart from each other. The current geodynamic setting of Vasuda is similar, although far from equal, to that seen on Earth between the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras. Much like with Earth over 250 million years ago, the formation of a single supercontinent - Pangaea, in our case - may lead to radical changes in the environments, with the expansion of deserts in the inner regions resulting in planetwide mass extinctions. Vasuda Prime hosted a colossal desert prior to the rifting event, caused by the collision of smaller continents, and even now, as the two major supercontinents are diverging, the surface is still mostly dominated by deserts. The Vasudans are believed to have evolved in coastal regions of the southern supercontinent, whose climate was more temperate, though still challenging. These geodynamical settings and the timing of past continental collisions have allowed Vasuda Prime to host hydrocarbon reserves at least one order of magnitude larger than those on Earth, and the exploitation of such reserves at the right stage of Vasudan history has allowed the technological boost that ultimately led them to become a space-faring species.<br /> <br /> Unlike Terrans, who have developed more on the technology branch than on an evolutionary scale in the past few thousand years, the Vasudans appear to have experienced an anomalous change a few millennia ago, the origin of which is still debated.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Fourth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> The most puzzling and contradictory perception of the Vasudans is the one that sees them as soldiers who would blindly follow any kind of order given by their general. The reality couldn't be any more different than this perception, supported by fragmented and anecdotal evidence.<br /> <br /> Though their respect towards authorities is unquestionable, applying to many endeavors beyond warfare, each Vasudan is asked to be judgmental and follow precise customs and courtesies to let someone with a higher rank know that they disagree about a choice. This occurrence is rare, but whenever it happens, it exposes a new facet of Vasudan culture and a way to interpret the formalities of authority in a more pragmatic manner. There are limited circumstances where any Vasudan could object to an extremely highly ranked member of their military or Parliament, and do so in a way that would seem absurd to us Terrans. Even in the greatest democracies of our past, the interaction between simple citizens or soldiers and their rules has always had some sort of filter, and our modern era is no exception, despite the GTA's status as a stable and solid democracy.<br /> <br /> Where does the difference lie, then? How come a supposed stricter respect of higher authorities also accounts for interactions between Vasudans whose ranks are vastly different? Some interpret this as a legacy of past times, when the lack of technology allowed more direct interactions between Vasudans of different ranks, though strictly regulated by precise rituals. According to a different interpretation, this may be due to one specific and ancient ritual of Vasudan culture, which used to be very common in small villages with one or two leaders. This inherited tradition expects each Vasudan, at least once in a lifetime, to perform a ritual conversation with a person of a much higher rank, and discuss particular subjects which are determined by respective ranks. The date and content of the conversation would then be a solid part of one's achievements, in a way that would resemble a Terran diploma. Ancient Vasudan tombs have been confirmed to have inscriptions related to this ritual.<br /> <br /> The truth may be within a combination of these two interpretations, which both differ quite a lot from what we've experienced in our own history. Imagine one of our ancestors getting the chance to talk to a king or ruler, and imagine the tomb having an inscription about that conversation as if it were a remarkable achievement, something that heirs would talk about for decades.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Fifth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> As a space faring species, could the Vasudans see the light of technological advance being darkened and shrouded by a veil of superstition? It appears that they potentially could. The Vasudans, regardless of their rank, take ancient texts and lessons from the past very seriously. Their concept of the past itself deserves its own explanation, as it constitutes a key to understanding this phenomenon.<br /> <br /> The main point here is that the words we use to describe these sources of knowledge for the Vasudan people diverge quite a bit from their actual meaning, as seen from their perspective. We talk about Vasudan mythology and prophecies, and by using these words, we carry on implications that don't match the real values of these from their perspective. In Earth's history, a mythology was essentially the religion of a defunct civilization, while a prophecy is something tied to supernatural powers, and therefore very weak once analyzed with reason in mind. This is absolutely not what Vasudan 'mythology' and 'prophecies' are about; both of them, while still vague in their words and open to dozens of different interpretations, are tied to reality in a way far greater than most ancient texts and inscriptions in Terran history.<br /> <br /> The paradox is that we've been influenced more by religion and superstition than the Vasudans have been, yet we took separate paths that ultimately led to our situation being reversed. Our own mythologies referred to hypothetical creatures and stories, while Vasudan 'mythologies' combined supernatural elements with primitive science, in an effort to explain natural phenomena and the intrinsic fundamentals of nature. How could this happen, how come we've ended up pretending to be the rational individuals, unlike our superstitious counterparts?<br /> <br /> Once again, it's a subject with multiple hypotheses and no clear explanations or answers can be given. Researchers, however, point to the Vasudans' religious and political stability over millennia as the main reason behind this difference. While incredibly varied on their own, Vasudan cultures share a common root dating back to millennia ago, and this may have allowed tales and scripts to be carried over hundreds of generations with no changes whatsoever to their influence. It's not the case for ancient Terran cultures, which were geographically constrained and have undergone radical changes on the scale of decades, not millennia. It goes without saying that, as the social and religious momentum in their society is maintained, ancient texts acquire more and more importance thanks to their age.<br /> <br /> This view, however, is not shared by many researchers who still see superstition as the source of these Vasudan behaviors.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Sixth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> Regardless of the Galactic Terran Alliance's monitoring of all texts and publications concerning the Vasudans, overwhelming evidence about their Parliament being seriously corrupted is hardly debatable. Such corruption is widespread and affects the lives of the Vasudan people in ways that, if hypothetically applied to the GTA itself, could fit the description of a not-so-benevolent dictatorship.<br /> <br /> Corruption has been confirmed to have characterized the Parliament for a significant portion of its history, though sudden increases have been experienced - based on the information that we have - following the colonization of nearby systems. As reported before in this manuscript, the Vasudans are more dependent on space colonization than we are, and it's no secret that something as critically important as the discovery of subspace would have tremendous implications. Early Vasudan subspace travel was severely regulated and inaccessible to most, and the Parliament worked hard to maintain the economic balances of such a great discovery. Space colonization has increased corruption within the Parliament as a tool to control the flow of resources and the consequent influence of those responsible for the harvesting of said resources. The war made things even worse, as military elites put pressure on a number of political debates for things that seem more strictly related to their attempt to gain more influence than actually make decisions relevant to the war effort. Despite all of these major drawbacks, the Parliament as a political infrastructure performs its job, and we have learned more than once that its corruption isn't always a sign of weakness. The background noise caused by deep conflicts of interest does not prevent this entity from ruling over the Vasudan Empire and responding to actions taken by the GTA.<br /> <br /> If we were to analyze the true potential of this phenomenon, we'd temporarily have to disregard the current political setting of the PVE. The current situation is atypical, as a war with another species undoubtedly makes certain interests fall to the wayside in favor of the struggle for survival, but what would happen in a different scenario? If anything, we estimate that the influence of certain elements within the Parliament may be so high that they could secretly divert resources, workforce and combatants to their own factions, if they wanted to. The institution is structured in a way that would allow a parallel fleet to the PVN to be formed and grown, albeit under specific circumstances.<br /> <br /> [[Category: Series Resurrecta]]</div>

To do so would help define the meaning of a military’s claim to 'victory' on a battlefield that spans an entire system.<br /> <br /> The days of the Great War are long gone. At that point, most of you weren't even born yet, and those among you who were would have been infants still learning how to walk and talk.<br /> <br /> People like me ''do'' remember that unique sense of terror. We were coming out of fourteen long years of conventional conflict with another species. The odds of two species encountering each other in space, let alone fighting each other, were so miniscule we couldn't even calculate them.<br /> <br /> Then the Shivans appeared. They redefined the concepts of threat, destruction, invasion and survival. They taught us what these words really meant, and made us realize that what counted as conquering a star system, or winning a war with another species, are both intrinsically dependent on who's the winner. A winner like the Shivans won't just achieve space superiority. It will also wipe all life and civilization from a planet, just as it did with Vasuda Prime.<br /> <br /> The sudden discovery of yet another species, the Ancients, allowed us to prevent Earth's fall to such a fate. <br /> <br /> Earth, a homeworld you have never visited, yet perceive as something important but only remotely tied to your life.<br /> <br /> The past is a key factor in shaping the future. Knowledge of the past will help the GTVA regain and maintain its glory. Some of you may have already heard the term 'The Lost Generation.' It is increasingly used as a way to describe those like you who have never been to Sol. Worry not, for you are not Lost. You will lead the future of humanity, which no longer needs its homeworld to survive and prosper.<br /> <br /> Let the new homeworld, our 'Neo Terra' of sorts, be everywhere you'll be calling home in the days, months, and years to come.<br /> <br /> Speech to new Modern History graduates at Polaris Public University<br /> July 10th, 2359<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ===[September 2nd, 2341] Report of Akheton Corporation Delegation to the Imperial Palace===<br /> To the attention of Emperor Khonsu II:<br /> <br /> It is with great honor and pleasure that we introduce the finalized product of Project Sobek, a detailed and comprehensive model with all of its specifics. The tenth annex to this confidential document is focused on the possibility of implementing beam technology weaponry to this design.<br /> <br /> As you are already aware, the concept of this design is based on declassified reports of the SCv Moloch, a 'corvette' class of warship encountered in the late stages of the Great War. At first erroneously interpreted as a large cruiser, the Moloch was something else, an intermediate class combining the speed and flexibility of a cruiser with the firepower and endurance of destroyers. It proved to be so versatile that, in the months that followed, joint ventures of Vasudan and Terran engineers analyzed all available reports on the few ships of this class that had previously been encountered, and officially introduced the whole concept of 'corvette' to strategists.<br /> <br /> Unlike the Shivan design we based our work on, what will likely become the GVC-V Sobek lacks a fighter bay, as our reports and tests proved it would significantly decrease the hull integrity of the warship without actually adding any vital logistical capabilities other than hosting a wing of small-to-medium fighters.<br /> <br /> Compared to the Moloch, however, its firepower is considerably higher and the sleek design is expected to make the Sobek more efficient in combat, both in attack and defense. This is a similar result to that of the Terran Deimos, which is also expected to be manufactured very soon. We believe the Sobek will fulfill a number of roles the Deimos may be too logistically complex to perform.<br /> <br /> Both ships will be vital for the future of Vasudan and Terran fleets. In our effort to renew our fleets, the Sobek will be the key to efficiency in strategies, logistics and combat. Under the right conditions, as tested in the attached war simulations, two ships of this class can compete directly with any known destroyer and come out victorious.<br /> <br /> The final production phase awaits Your approval, Emperor.<br /> <br /> ===[March 5th, 2335] Epitaph in a devastated Ancient settlement in Altair IV===<br /> ''Discovered by Vasudan survivors from the Vasuda Prime massacre''&lt;br&gt;<br /> &quot;One survivor joined us two Glorious Homeworld cycles ago, the only survivor of an entire colony of our people escaping from a devastated system. It was truly a miracle.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It was so unbelievable at first that, for a moment, we thought it was bait, one way for the Destroyers to expose our settlement of survivors and make its location well known. It ultimately turned out to be a genuine spacecraft of our own, coming from several star systems away.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;This survivor piloting it was severely wounded, but we managed to provide basic cures. Among the data and archives carried out in the approaching emergency spacecraft, testimonies themselves of a prosperity long gone, we discovered how the Destroyers employed [Trains of Doom] in that system, as well as in neighboring systems, which were difficult to detect and monitor. Days after their disappearance, these massive convoys of evil would be followed by large Destroyer armadas, attacking our people from flanks and even from behind, in systems one or two [Subspace] jumps away from the frontlines.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The report from our people in that colony provided us with significant intelligence that, in many systems, the Destroyers have had hidden fleets capable of staying in stasis for millennia, before their reactivation by a Train of Doom. Once reactivated, the fleets would join their main force and eliminate whatever trace of our civilization in between.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;These same awakened fleets were seen employing a bombing tactic never seen before in the invasion, a weapon of terror that could use subspace to... [indecipherable due to excessive superficial damage.]&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The survivor, messenger of a doomed branch of our fallen Empire, ultimately passed away of a disease we were no longer able to cure with what little we now have. Its treatment would have needed just minutes in our old, great epochs of prosperity and glory. If anything, unlike us, he will not have to live through the last few remaining days of existence, eyewitnessing our complete extinction not only as a civilization, but as a species.&quot;<br /> <br /> ===[February 18th, 2320] Excerpt from &quot;An introduction to subspace, the great physical wonder&quot;===<br /> Subspace and gravity appear to be connected to each other, albeit in somewhat of a complex relationship. Although most of the features of subspace are still a mystery to us, we have observed a strong connection between it and gravitational fields. It doesn't necessarily mean that all of subspace requires the presence of gravity fields to allow travel, as vastly demonstrated by interstellar jump nodes, but it shows how, at the very least, the roots of this phenomenon are connected to gravity.<br /> <br /> Since the very beginning of subspace exploitation, it has been noted that the amount of energy necessary for an intrasystem jump is proportional to the intensity of the gravitational field, and its distribution with respect to a given craft's route. Jumping towards the center of a star system does in fact require less energy compared to a journey away from said center. The difference in terms of energy required is negligible for modern subspace drives, but it was a major factor in early experiments. It has also been proven how the proximity to an interstellar jump node does not act as an auxiliary gravity source, therefore not affecting the energy required for a jump.<br /> <br /> Intersystem jumps follow very different rules. The energy required for such jumps is way off the scale for small spacecraft, and a challenge for even the largest ships, but it is not proportional to the distance between two stable jump nodes. This leads one to assume, as described in greater detail in later chapters of this publication, that while intrasystem jumps are vastly affected by gravity, intersystem jumps actually rely on some kind of subspace ‘flow’ which, once entered, allows ships to pass through it with little extra effort beyond the energy expended from entering subspace. Gravity seems to play no role in this flow, as the gravitational field of connected star systems is negligible during the travel, for example, and there's no way it could play a role. There's no influence from external gravity sources, either, because the subspace flows pass through interstellar space, whose density is low. Further in the publications, hypotheses and experiments showing the existence of a subspace flow will be shown...<br /> <br /> ===[April 13th, 2365] Excerpt from the book 'Tales of a Wounded Great War Pilot'===<br /> We maintained secrecy over the Iksura freighters and their colossal cargo capacity for quite some time. The reason? It was deeply counterproductive in post Great War time to admit how inferior we were compared to the Shivans in fields other than offensive power. Well, that's my own hypothesis, and who knows if there's something else behind it.<br /> <br /> One thing I can tell for sure: facing them in combat was as frightening as facing a destroyer or similar warship. You're there, out in the void of space, pretending to be shooting at a sitting duck, except the sitting duck and its cargo are more well armored, armed and protected than one of our own Fenris-class cruisers. Think about that, let it sink in, then add one important factor to the equation: a jamming field whose strength and range would effectively prevent any sensor lock from being gained. No missiles that required a lock could be launched against these... Doomtrains. None at all.<br /> <br /> A jamming that would not only compromise your offensive capacity, but it would also cut you off from your allies, their messages, their calls for help and so on. That was a powerful weapon, too, at times more frightening than defensive turrets. There was a drawback to the Doomtrains, however: as we suspected, and later tested directly in combat, the destruction of any of the components in the chain, including the towing freighter itself, would have triggered a chain reaction causing the immediate destruction of all following units. The mechanism by which this happened, according to undisclosed information, was probably due to an automated Shivan mechanism that would self destruct each lost component, thus preventing its capture by any kind of enemy.<br /> <br /> We then assumed that only the most sensitive cargo would be carried by Doomtrains. Attempts to even try and scan the cargo proved impossible, due to the intense jamming field and the self-destruct mechanism. Never in our interstellar conflicts have we seen such a mysterious, deceptive and intriguing freighter. It's not the ship type we would normally link to all these characteristics, as we believe actual warships to be more than a threat. But what if the Iksuras were responsible for maintaining entire Shivan fleets with their precious cargo? That would make them second only to the Lucifer in terms of strategic importance. That's the lesson we learned at Ross 128.<br /> <br /> ===[August 5th, 2337] Classified transcript from the interrogation of a Hammer of Light fanatic===<br /> &quot;To what degree were you involved in the final efforts of the Alliance in countering the Shivans in Ross 128?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I was deployed by my guru to investigate Shivan activity in the system.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;How was this activity carried out?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I was the pilot of a retrofitted Seshat scout fighter. I had enough supplies in my spacecraft to perform a reconnaissance mission lasting an entire month. I then staged my loss in a reconnaissance operation, self destructed my craft, and provided my guru with the information he needed. One of our comrades picked me up and organized my transfer back to safe systems.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;What kind of information have you been able to provide, and by what means?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We learned that the Destroyers, as per our prophecies, were not defeated. There was something else besides the Lucifer controlling them. It was simply replacing the Lucifer's lost control. It then would have conquered Vasudan and Terran space, succeeding where the Lucifer finally failed.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I see. Continue...&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Those were rough times for our ideals. We seemed doomed, oblivion the only possible outcome. Millennia of prophecies almost seemed like painful illusions, yet the truth was even greater than our expectations. That truth had to be delivered back to our systems and stop the mass defections and suicides among Hammer of Light loyalists.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Were you aware of other activities being carried out in the frontline?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Yes, I know that some of our own loyalists were onboard the PVD Imhotep. Others were spread amongst the members of the battle group. Every single ship had some of our faithful onboard. Some of us managed to slow down joint Vasudan-Terran operations, performing surgical strikes and driving PVE and GTA strategists into chaos. They were ultimately fooled into linking those failures to new Destroyer designs we hadn't seen before in the conflict. That allowed us to go unnoticed for weeks.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Describe one such act of sabotage to joint Vasudan-Terran operations.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It happened days after the destruction of the Lucifer. Some of our loyalists were sent to deal with a Cain cruiser, in Delta Serpentis, which seemed very well guarded for a ship of its class. We believed it was the sign of something greater, and the moment we saw the Shivans using a previously unseen weapon, we realized it was time to become messengers of a new truth. We haven't stopped ever since.&quot;<br /> <br /> ===[January 24th, 2368] Civilian Media Investigation Report &quot;Questions they won't let us answer about the Shivans&quot;===<br /> ''Aired on most public GTVA channels ''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> If we really want to get to the bottom of the problem, the reason behind all of the big unanswered questions, we have to go back to where everything started.<br /> <br /> If you're guessing what star we're showing right now, you're guessing right, it's Ross 128. Don't be fooled by this fiery glow coming from a red dwarf. The mysteries that lay in this system are far greater than previously thought.<br /> <br /> Some of you watching this episode are Capellan refugees, looking for a new place to call home. You might as well wonder what lies between the tragedy of your homeworlds' collapse and the source of the Shivan incursions in the Great War. To date, there are no clear - let alone official - explanations on how the Great War actually ended. There's the majestic, glorious end - that of the Lucifer - but there was an actual end to the war, the last encounter between a Shivan and a Terran or Vasudan ship.<br /> <br /> Details on this last encounter are unknown. We have no idea how it took place, we know it happened in this system, somewhere in the void of space, yet it led to the disappearance of the Shivans for over three decades. We still hear from scientists who believe the Shivans used interstellar jump drives capable of not relying on stable jump nodes, proving how such drives may theoretically be possible, but how accurate are these hypotheses?<br /> <br /> Furthermore, we believe that hiding the truth from honest GTVA citizens is an insult to the sacrifices committed by our loved ones in the past forty-five years of galactic conflict and challenging reconstruction efforts. We may be as resilient as phoenixes rising from ashes, but at what point do we accept the ignorance of the past, especially when said ignorance is driven by somebody? How can we possibly live our lives and even plan to reopen the Sol jump node using Knossos-derived technology, if we're so unsure about what's behind us?<br /> <br /> Should we even plan to go this far, knowing that, even if it is sealed from the rest of colonized space, Sol is - as far as we know and can extrapolate - a safe place?<br /> <br /> ===[November 14th, 2352] Memories of a veteran from the 53rd Hammerheads===<br /> ''Written on his personal diary, recovered by the heirs after his death, on September 18th, 2388''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Shortly after our final victory over the Lucifer, I felt relieved about the possibility of not facing the Shivans ever again. This feeling has changed over the years, of course, effectively turning me into what I am right now. I am now obsessed, puzzled by what I, for a long time, believed was but a memory of the past. It now chases me, over and over, even in my dreams. I seem to be the only person around here who spends most of the day thinking about what lies beyond the sealed jump node.<br /> <br /> The victory over such an enemy came at a price going far beyond the meaning of what we learned from past history, when it comes to conflicts. There was a military victory, at least a local one, and that was the moment the Lucifer fell to our attack aimed at its multiple reactors. But a seal was imposed, and one system had to be cut off from the others, dismantling decades of space colonization in fractions of a second. That was the ultimate cost of our victory.<br /> <br /> We have no idea about the evolution of the conflict on the other side of the node. There are many possibilities, all driven by questions I will never be able to answer, as no one probably will for many years to come. I do wonder, however, if the war for survival on the other side had a similar ending to what happened here, in the form of a second, maybe a third or fourth, sealing of a system from the cosmic net of subspace flow.<br /> <br /> Is this the lesson learnt from the Destroyers? Disappear into the oblivion of endless space, with your species going extinct, or merely slow down the process by self isolating? Is isolation the final solution over a galactic conflict with an enemy that won't come for your resources, instead overwhelms you with technology and numbers, then aims to cancel your entire civilization with no trace whatsoever of a contact, a will for peace?<br /> <br /> Are the survivors on the other side, providing that they're still alive, in a chasing marathon with destiny, a fight for survival where cutting the branches of a colossal tree is the only way to preserve life?<br /> <br /> ==[[The Spirit of Ptah]]==<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] First excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> One thing that may be more due to common stereotypes than actual proof and evidence of their actions, is their supposed tendency to give individual lives less of a value compared to us. Suicides, kamikaze attempts and possibly brave actions with no consideration of the possible consequences, all seem to be more frequent in Vasudan culture compared to our own tendencies. An equal stereotype from their end sees us as greedy and unable to work together for a common, greater goal, as we are doomed to let our individual interests overcome it.<br /> <br /> The ongoing war with this alien species leads us - if we want to analyze their culture objectively - to view their behaviors in combat separately from what they do in civilian life. From what we understand, Vasudans with roles and responsibilities have enormous psychological pressure, regardless of their skills. They're meritocratic, in the sense that they seem to ignore all internal differences with respect to social rank, thus allowing the most skilled and talented of them to have notable careers in the context of their respective castes, and only the highest of ranks are predominantly driven by inheritance.<br /> <br /> Vasudans with specific roles in politics and the academic world take this pressure very, very seriously. Governors failing to achieve specific pre-set objectives of their political mandates may oftentimes end their careers in dishonored retirement, or even commit suicide. Lecturers and researchers whose works are proven to be weak or wrong under strict checks within their communities may also end their careers so abruptly. All of this happens in our own culture, too, but more rarely, thereby leading to rigid stereotypes on both sides.<br /> <br /> While, from the Vasudans' perspective, all of this may be an interpretation of death as a necessary means to obtain honor and fulfill some particular goal, this can be actually interpreted as their way to adore life and what it offers.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Second excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> A lot has been written and said about the Vasudan language and its countless dialects, with stereotypes indicating such forms of expressions as absurdly complicated, as words may change - even radically so - depending on social rank, the distance to Vasuda Prime, the underlying circumstances of the conversation and myriad other factors.<br /> <br /> This extra complexity, which adds to the overall complexity of the many thousands of dialects spoken by the Vasudans, may seem difficult to understand and justify by trying to relate it to modern Terran languages. It's commonly interpreted, in fact, as yet another sign of ritualism and superstition injected by the Vasudans into virtually any endeavor in their lives, with the language being just one of the many examples supporting this thesis. As most linguists will agree, however, it doesn't differ that much from what our own languages have been based on in the past few millennia. While the overall complexity of these variations wasn't comparable to that of Vasudan languages, we have many notable examples in our own history proving that, unlike what the stereotypes seem to indicate, adding complexity to text and conversations is not a purely Vasudan tendency.<br /> <br /> To be more specific, in Terran history, with only a few exceptions still persisting today, languages and dialects have taken into account contexts that would cause them to be difficult to understand under modern circumstances. One such factor was social rank, with differences depending on who was talking and who said person was talking to. All known examples were constrained by the fact that they were spoken by natives with extremely limited technological capabilities, as they obviously weren't space faring populations, but the fundamentals we extrapolate from archeological findings point to an apparent convergence.<br /> <br /> Who knows with any certainty? Perhaps, had Terran history proceeded differently, we would be speaking with that same extra reverential complexity that the Vasudan language is built upon.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Third excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> Vasuda Prime, the fourth planet of the Vasuda system, is the homeworld of this species at war with us. Unlike we Terrans, who managed to establish colonies on many planets and satellites of Sol, the Vasudans had to face a much greater challenge, as Vasuda Prime is the only major celestial body compatible with exploitable colonization in that system, so they've relied a lot on jump nodes to found new colonies in nearby systems. The discovery of subspace, in fact, was demonstrably much more of a blessing to the Vasudans than it was for us, and this is mostly due to Sol's peculiarities. We don't have the same need to expand our hegemony to other systems. This is one of the reasons why many suspect that the war was doomed to start regardless of the outcome of the two species’ first contacts, though this is still open to debate.<br /> <br /> The planet is a rather tough environment, and many question how the Vasudans evolved and developed in such a scenario. Its landmass is divided into two major supercontinents which underwent a rifting event only a few million years ago, and are still moving apart from each other. The current geodynamic setting of Vasuda is similar, although far from equal, to that seen on Earth between the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras. Much like with Earth over 250 million years ago, the formation of a single supercontinent - Pangaea, in our case - may lead to radical changes in the environments, with the expansion of deserts in the inner regions resulting in planetwide mass extinctions. Vasuda Prime hosted a colossal desert prior to the rifting event, caused by the collision of smaller continents, and even now, as the two major supercontinents are diverging, the surface is still mostly dominated by deserts. The Vasudans are believed to have evolved in coastal regions of the southern supercontinent, whose climate was more temperate, though still challenging. These geodynamical settings and the timing of past continental collisions have allowed Vasuda Prime to host hydrocarbon reserves at least one order of magnitude larger than those on Earth, and the exploitation of such reserves at the right stage of Vasudan history has allowed the technological boost that ultimately led them to become a space-faring species.<br /> <br /> Unlike Terrans, who have developed more on the technology branch than on an evolutionary scale in the past few thousand years, the Vasudans appear to have experienced an anomalous change a few millennia ago, the origin of which is still debated.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Fourth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> The most puzzling and contradictory perception of the Vasudans is the one that sees them as soldiers who would blindly follow any kind of order given by their general. The reality couldn't be any more different than this perception, supported by fragmented and anecdotal evidence.<br /> <br /> Though their respect towards authorities is unquestionable, applying to many endeavors beyond warfare, each Vasudan is asked to be judgmental and follow precise customs and courtesies to let someone with a higher rank know that they disagree about a choice. This occurrence is rare, but whenever it happens, it exposes a new facet of Vasudan culture and a way to interpret the formalities of authority in a more pragmatic manner. There are limited circumstances where any Vasudan could object to an extremely highly ranked member of their military or Parliament, and do so in a way that would seem absurd to us Terrans. Even in the greatest democracies of our past, the interaction between simple citizens or soldiers and their rules has always had some sort of filter, and our modern era is no exception, despite the GTA's status as a stable and solid democracy.<br /> <br /> Where does the difference lie, then? How come a supposed stricter respect of higher authorities also accounts for interactions between Vasudans whose ranks are vastly different? Some interpret this as a legacy of past times, when the lack of technology allowed more direct interactions between Vasudans of different ranks, though strictly regulated by precise rituals. According to a different interpretation, this may be due to one specific and ancient ritual of Vasudan culture, which used to be very common in small villages with one or two leaders. This inherited tradition expects each Vasudan, at least once in a lifetime, to perform a ritual conversation with a person of a much higher rank, and discuss particular subjects which are determined by respective ranks. The date and content of the conversation would then be a solid part of one's achievements, in a way that would resemble a Terran diploma. Ancient Vasudan tombs have been confirmed to have inscriptions related to this ritual.<br /> <br /> The truth may be within a combination of these two interpretations, which both differ quite a lot from what we've experienced in our own history. Imagine one of our ancestors getting the chance to talk to a king or ruler, and imagine the tomb having an inscription about that conversation as if it were a remarkable achievement, something that heirs would talk about for decades.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Fifth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> As a space faring species, could the Vasudans see the light of technological advance being darkened and shrouded by a veil of superstition? It appears that they potentially could. The Vasudans, regardless of their rank, take ancient texts and lessons from the past very seriously. Their concept of the past itself deserves its own explanation, as it constitutes a key to understanding this phenomenon.<br /> <br /> The main point here is that the words we use to describe these sources of knowledge for the Vasudan people diverge quite a bit from their actual meaning, as seen from their perspective. We talk about Vasudan mythology and prophecies, and by using these words, we carry on implications that don't match the real values of these from their perspective. In Earth's history, a mythology was essentially the religion of a defunct civilization, while a prophecy is something tied to supernatural powers, and therefore very weak once analyzed with reason in mind. This is absolutely not what Vasudan 'mythology' and 'prophecies' are about; both of them, while still vague in their words and open to dozens of different interpretations, are tied to reality in a way far greater than most ancient texts and inscriptions in Terran history.<br /> <br /> The paradox is that we've been influenced more by religion and superstition than the Vasudans have been, yet we took separate paths that ultimately led to our situation being reversed. Our own mythologies referred to hypothetical creatures and stories, while Vasudan 'mythologies' combined supernatural elements with primitive science, in an effort to explain natural phenomena and the intrinsic fundamentals of nature. How could this happen, how come we've ended up pretending to be the rational individuals, unlike our superstitious counterparts?<br /> <br /> Once again, it's a subject with multiple hypotheses and no clear explanations or answers can be given. Researchers, however, point to the Vasudans' religious and political stability over millennia as the main reason behind this difference. While incredibly varied on their own, Vasudan cultures share a common root dating back to millennia ago, and this may have allowed tales and scripts to be carried over hundreds of generations with no changes whatsoever to their influence. It's not the case for ancient Terran cultures, which were geographically constrained and have undergone radical changes on the scale of decades, not millennia. It goes without saying that, as the social and religious momentum in their society is maintained, ancient texts acquire more and more importance thanks to their age.<br /> <br /> This view, however, is not shared by many researchers who still see superstition as the source of these Vasudan behaviors.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Sixth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> Regardless of the Galactic Terran Alliance's monitoring of all texts and publications concerning the Vasudans, overwhelming evidence about their Parliament being seriously corrupted is hardly debatable. Such corruption is widespread and affects the lives of the Vasudan people in ways that, if hypothetically applied to the GTA itself, could fit the description of a not-so-benevolent dictatorship.<br /> <br /> Corruption has been confirmed to have characterized the Parliament for a significant portion of its history, though sudden increases have been experienced - based on the information that we have - following the colonization of nearby systems. As reported before in this manuscript, the Vasudans are more dependent on space colonization than we are, and it's no secret that something as critically important as the discovery of subspace would have tremendous implications. Early Vasudan subspace travel was severely regulated and inaccessible to most, and the Parliament worked hard to maintain the economic balances of such a great discovery. Space colonization has increased corruption within the Parliament as a tool to control the flow of resources and the consequent influence of those responsible for the harvesting of said resources. The war made things even worse, as military elites put pressure on a number of political debates for things that seem more strictly related to their attempt to gain more influence than actually make decisions relevant to the war effort. Despite all of these major drawbacks, the Parliament as a political infrastructure performs its job, and we have learned more than once that its corruption isn't always a sign of weakness. The background noise caused by deep conflicts of interest does not prevent this entity from ruling over the Vasudan Empire and responding to actions taken by the GTA.<br /> <br /> If we were to analyze the true potential of this phenomenon, we'd temporarily have to disregard the current political setting of the PVE. The current situation is atypical, as a war with another species undoubtedly makes certain interests fall to the wayside in favor of the struggle for survival, but what would happen in a different scenario? If anything, we estimate that the influence of certain elements within the Parliament may be so high that they could secretly divert resources, workforce and combatants to their own factions, if they wanted to. The institution is structured in a way that would allow a parallel fleet to the PVN to be formed and grown, albeit under specific circumstances.<br /> <br /> [[Category: Series Resurrecta]]</div>

To do so would help define the meaning of a military’s claim to 'victory' on a battlefield that spans an entire system.<br /> <br /> <br /> The days of the Great War are long gone. At that point, most of you weren't even born yet, and those among you who were would have been infants still learning how to walk and talk.<br /> <br /> <br /> People like me do remember that unique sense of terror. We were coming out of fourteen long years of conventional conflict with another species. The odds of two species encountering each other in space, let alone fighting each other, were so miniscule we couldn't even calculate them.<br /> <br /> <br /> Then the Shivans appeared. They redefined the concepts of threat, destruction, invasion and survival. They taught us what these words really meant, and made us realize that what counted as conquering a star system, or winning a war with another species, are both intrinsically dependent on who's the winner. A winner like the Shivans won't just achieve space superiority. It will also wipe all life and civilization from a planet, just as it did with Vasuda Prime.<br /> <br /> <br /> The sudden discovery of yet another species, the Ancients, allowed us to prevent Earth's fall to such a fate. <br /> <br /> <br /> Earth, a homeworld you have never visited, yet perceive as something important but only remotely tied to your life.<br /> <br /> <br /> The past is a key factor in shaping the future. Knowledge of the past will help the GTVA regain and maintain its glory. Some of you may have already heard the term 'The Lost Generation.' It is increasingly used as a way to describe those like you who have never been to Sol. Worry not, for you are not Lost. You will lead the future of humanity, which no longer needs its homeworld to survive and prosper.<br /> <br /> <br /> Let the new homeworld, our 'Neo Terra' of sorts, be everywhere you'll be calling home in the days, months, and years to come.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Speech to new Modern History graduates at Polaris Public University<br /> July 10th, 2359<br /> <br /> Speech to new Modern History graduates at Polaris Public University I<br /> <br /> ===[September 2nd, 2341] Report of Akheton Corporation Delegation to the Imperial Palace===<br /> To the attention of Emperor Khonsu II:<br /> <br /> It is with great honor and pleasure that we introduce the finalized product of Project Sobek, a detailed and comprehensive model with all of its specifics. The tenth annex to this confidential document is focused on the possibility of implementing beam technology weaponry to this design.<br /> <br /> As you are already aware, the concept of this design is based on declassified reports of the SCv Moloch, a 'corvette' class of warship encountered in the late stages of the Great War. At first erroneously interpreted as a large cruiser, the Moloch was something else, an intermediate class combining the speed and flexibility of a cruiser with the firepower and endurance of destroyers. It proved to be so versatile that, in the months that followed, joint ventures of Vasudan and Terran engineers analyzed all available reports on the few ships of this class that had previously been encountered, and officially introduced the whole concept of 'corvette' to strategists.<br /> <br /> Unlike the Shivan design we based our work on, what will likely become the GVC-V Sobek lacks a fighter bay, as our reports and tests proved it would significantly decrease the hull integrity of the warship without actually adding any vital logistical capabilities other than hosting a wing of small-to-medium fighters.<br /> <br /> Compared to the Moloch, however, its firepower is considerably higher and the sleek design is expected to make the Sobek more efficient in combat, both in attack and defense. This is a similar result to that of the Terran Deimos, which is also expected to be manufactured very soon. We believe the Sobek will fulfill a number of roles the Deimos may be too logistically complex to perform.<br /> <br /> Both ships will be vital for the future of Vasudan and Terran fleets. In our effort to renew our fleets, the Sobek will be the key to efficiency in strategies, logistics and combat. Under the right conditions, as tested in the attached war simulations, two ships of this class can compete directly with any known destroyer and come out victorious.<br /> <br /> The final production phase awaits Your approval, Emperor.<br /> <br /> ===[March 5th, 2335] Epitaph in a devastated Ancient settlement in Altair IV===<br /> ''Discovered by Vasudan survivors from the Vasuda Prime massacre''&lt;br&gt;<br /> &quot;One survivor joined us two Glorious Homeworld cycles ago, the only survivor of an entire colony of our people escaping from a devastated system. It was truly a miracle.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It was so unbelievable at first that, for a moment, we thought it was bait, one way for the Destroyers to expose our settlement of survivors and make its location well known. It ultimately turned out to be a genuine spacecraft of our own, coming from several star systems away.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;This survivor piloting it was severely wounded, but we managed to provide basic cures. Among the data and archives carried out in the approaching emergency spacecraft, testimonies themselves of a prosperity long gone, we discovered how the Destroyers employed [Trains of Doom] in that system, as well as in neighboring systems, which were difficult to detect and monitor. Days after their disappearance, these massive convoys of evil would be followed by large Destroyer armadas, attacking our people from flanks and even from behind, in systems one or two [Subspace] jumps away from the frontlines.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The report from our people in that colony provided us with significant intelligence that, in many systems, the Destroyers have had hidden fleets capable of staying in stasis for millennia, before their reactivation by a Train of Doom. Once reactivated, the fleets would join their main force and eliminate whatever trace of our civilization in between.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;These same awakened fleets were seen employing a bombing tactic never seen before in the invasion, a weapon of terror that could use subspace to... [indecipherable due to excessive superficial damage.]&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;The survivor, messenger of a doomed branch of our fallen Empire, ultimately passed away of a disease we were no longer able to cure with what little we now have. Its treatment would have needed just minutes in our old, great epochs of prosperity and glory. If anything, unlike us, he will not have to live through the last few remaining days of existence, eyewitnessing our complete extinction not only as a civilization, but as a species.&quot;<br /> <br /> ===[February 18th, 2320] Excerpt from &quot;An introduction to subspace, the great physical wonder&quot;===<br /> Subspace and gravity appear to be connected to each other, albeit in somewhat of a complex relationship. Although most of the features of subspace are still a mystery to us, we have observed a strong connection between it and gravitational fields. It doesn't necessarily mean that all of subspace requires the presence of gravity fields to allow travel, as vastly demonstrated by interstellar jump nodes, but it shows how, at the very least, the roots of this phenomenon are connected to gravity.<br /> <br /> Since the very beginning of subspace exploitation, it has been noted that the amount of energy necessary for an intrasystem jump is proportional to the intensity of the gravitational field, and its distribution with respect to a given craft's route. Jumping towards the center of a star system does in fact require less energy compared to a journey away from said center. The difference in terms of energy required is negligible for modern subspace drives, but it was a major factor in early experiments. It has also been proven how the proximity to an interstellar jump node does not act as an auxiliary gravity source, therefore not affecting the energy required for a jump.<br /> <br /> Intersystem jumps follow very different rules. The energy required for such jumps is way off the scale for small spacecraft, and a challenge for even the largest ships, but it is not proportional to the distance between two stable jump nodes. This leads one to assume, as described in greater detail in later chapters of this publication, that while intrasystem jumps are vastly affected by gravity, intersystem jumps actually rely on some kind of subspace ‘flow’ which, once entered, allows ships to pass through it with little extra effort beyond the energy expended from entering subspace. Gravity seems to play no role in this flow, as the gravitational field of connected star systems is negligible during the travel, for example, and there's no way it could play a role. There's no influence from external gravity sources, either, because the subspace flows pass through interstellar space, whose density is low. Further in the publications, hypotheses and experiments showing the existence of a subspace flow will be shown...<br /> <br /> ===[April 13th, 2365] Excerpt from the book 'Tales of a Wounded Great War Pilot'===<br /> We maintained secrecy over the Iksura freighters and their colossal cargo capacity for quite some time. The reason? It was deeply counterproductive in post Great War time to admit how inferior we were compared to the Shivans in fields other than offensive power. Well, that's my own hypothesis, and who knows if there's something else behind it.<br /> <br /> One thing I can tell for sure: facing them in combat was as frightening as facing a destroyer or similar warship. You're there, out in the void of space, pretending to be shooting at a sitting duck, except the sitting duck and its cargo are more well armored, armed and protected than one of our own Fenris-class cruisers. Think about that, let it sink in, then add one important factor to the equation: a jamming field whose strength and range would effectively prevent any sensor lock from being gained. No missiles that required a lock could be launched against these... Doomtrains. None at all.<br /> <br /> A jamming that would not only compromise your offensive capacity, but it would also cut you off from your allies, their messages, their calls for help and so on. That was a powerful weapon, too, at times more frightening than defensive turrets. There was a drawback to the Doomtrains, however: as we suspected, and later tested directly in combat, the destruction of any of the components in the chain, including the towing freighter itself, would have triggered a chain reaction causing the immediate destruction of all following units. The mechanism by which this happened, according to undisclosed information, was probably due to an automated Shivan mechanism that would self destruct each lost component, thus preventing its capture by any kind of enemy.<br /> <br /> We then assumed that only the most sensitive cargo would be carried by Doomtrains. Attempts to even try and scan the cargo proved impossible, due to the intense jamming field and the self-destruct mechanism. Never in our interstellar conflicts have we seen such a mysterious, deceptive and intriguing freighter. It's not the ship type we would normally link to all these characteristics, as we believe actual warships to be more than a threat. But what if the Iksuras were responsible for maintaining entire Shivan fleets with their precious cargo? That would make them second only to the Lucifer in terms of strategic importance. That's the lesson we learned at Ross 128.<br /> <br /> ===[August 5th, 2337] Classified transcript from the interrogation of a Hammer of Light fanatic===<br /> &quot;To what degree were you involved in the final efforts of the Alliance in countering the Shivans in Ross 128?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I was deployed by my guru to investigate Shivan activity in the system.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;How was this activity carried out?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I was the pilot of a retrofitted Seshat scout fighter. I had enough supplies in my spacecraft to perform a reconnaissance mission lasting an entire month. I then staged my loss in a reconnaissance operation, self destructed my craft, and provided my guru with the information he needed. One of our comrades picked me up and organized my transfer back to safe systems.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;What kind of information have you been able to provide, and by what means?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We learned that the Destroyers, as per our prophecies, were not defeated. There was something else besides the Lucifer controlling them. It was simply replacing the Lucifer's lost control. It then would have conquered Vasudan and Terran space, succeeding where the Lucifer finally failed.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;I see. Continue...&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Those were rough times for our ideals. We seemed doomed, oblivion the only possible outcome. Millennia of prophecies almost seemed like painful illusions, yet the truth was even greater than our expectations. That truth had to be delivered back to our systems and stop the mass defections and suicides among Hammer of Light loyalists.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Were you aware of other activities being carried out in the frontline?&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Yes, I know that some of our own loyalists were onboard the PVD Imhotep. Others were spread amongst the members of the battle group. Every single ship had some of our faithful onboard. Some of us managed to slow down joint Vasudan-Terran operations, performing surgical strikes and driving PVE and GTA strategists into chaos. They were ultimately fooled into linking those failures to new Destroyer designs we hadn't seen before in the conflict. That allowed us to go unnoticed for weeks.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Describe one such act of sabotage to joint Vasudan-Terran operations.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;It happened days after the destruction of the Lucifer. Some of our loyalists were sent to deal with a Cain cruiser, in Delta Serpentis, which seemed very well guarded for a ship of its class. We believed it was the sign of something greater, and the moment we saw the Shivans using a previously unseen weapon, we realized it was time to become messengers of a new truth. We haven't stopped ever since.&quot;<br /> <br /> ===[January 24th, 2368] Civilian Media Investigation Report &quot;Questions they won't let us answer about the Shivans&quot;===<br /> ''Aired on most public GTVA channels ''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> If we really want to get to the bottom of the problem, the reason behind all of the big unanswered questions, we have to go back to where everything started.<br /> <br /> If you're guessing what star we're showing right now, you're guessing right, it's Ross 128. Don't be fooled by this fiery glow coming from a red dwarf. The mysteries that lay in this system are far greater than previously thought.<br /> <br /> Some of you watching this episode are Capellan refugees, looking for a new place to call home. You might as well wonder what lies between the tragedy of your homeworlds' collapse and the source of the Shivan incursions in the Great War. To date, there are no clear - let alone official - explanations on how the Great War actually ended. There's the majestic, glorious end - that of the Lucifer - but there was an actual end to the war, the last encounter between a Shivan and a Terran or Vasudan ship.<br /> <br /> Details on this last encounter are unknown. We have no idea how it took place, we know it happened in this system, somewhere in the void of space, yet it led to the disappearance of the Shivans for over three decades. We still hear from scientists who believe the Shivans used interstellar jump drives capable of not relying on stable jump nodes, proving how such drives may theoretically be possible, but how accurate are these hypotheses?<br /> <br /> Furthermore, we believe that hiding the truth from honest GTVA citizens is an insult to the sacrifices committed by our loved ones in the past forty-five years of galactic conflict and challenging reconstruction efforts. We may be as resilient as phoenixes rising from ashes, but at what point do we accept the ignorance of the past, especially when said ignorance is driven by somebody? How can we possibly live our lives and even plan to reopen the Sol jump node using Knossos-derived technology, if we're so unsure about what's behind us?<br /> <br /> Should we even plan to go this far, knowing that, even if it is sealed from the rest of colonized space, Sol is - as far as we know and can extrapolate - a safe place?<br /> <br /> ===[November 14th, 2352] Memories of a veteran from the 53rd Hammerheads===<br /> ''Written on his personal diary, recovered by the heirs after his death, on September 18th, 2388''&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Shortly after our final victory over the Lucifer, I felt relieved about the possibility of not facing the Shivans ever again. This feeling has changed over the years, of course, effectively turning me into what I am right now. I am now obsessed, puzzled by what I, for a long time, believed was but a memory of the past. It now chases me, over and over, even in my dreams. I seem to be the only person around here who spends most of the day thinking about what lies beyond the sealed jump node.<br /> <br /> The victory over such an enemy came at a price going far beyond the meaning of what we learned from past history, when it comes to conflicts. There was a military victory, at least a local one, and that was the moment the Lucifer fell to our attack aimed at its multiple reactors. But a seal was imposed, and one system had to be cut off from the others, dismantling decades of space colonization in fractions of a second. That was the ultimate cost of our victory.<br /> <br /> We have no idea about the evolution of the conflict on the other side of the node. There are many possibilities, all driven by questions I will never be able to answer, as no one probably will for many years to come. I do wonder, however, if the war for survival on the other side had a similar ending to what happened here, in the form of a second, maybe a third or fourth, sealing of a system from the cosmic net of subspace flow.<br /> <br /> Is this the lesson learnt from the Destroyers? Disappear into the oblivion of endless space, with your species going extinct, or merely slow down the process by self isolating? Is isolation the final solution over a galactic conflict with an enemy that won't come for your resources, instead overwhelms you with technology and numbers, then aims to cancel your entire civilization with no trace whatsoever of a contact, a will for peace?<br /> <br /> Are the survivors on the other side, providing that they're still alive, in a chasing marathon with destiny, a fight for survival where cutting the branches of a colossal tree is the only way to preserve life?<br /> <br /> ==[[The Spirit of Ptah]]==<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] First excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> One thing that may be more due to common stereotypes than actual proof and evidence of their actions, is their supposed tendency to give individual lives less of a value compared to us. Suicides, kamikaze attempts and possibly brave actions with no consideration of the possible consequences, all seem to be more frequent in Vasudan culture compared to our own tendencies. An equal stereotype from their end sees us as greedy and unable to work together for a common, greater goal, as we are doomed to let our individual interests overcome it.<br /> <br /> The ongoing war with this alien species leads us - if we want to analyze their culture objectively - to view their behaviors in combat separately from what they do in civilian life. From what we understand, Vasudans with roles and responsibilities have enormous psychological pressure, regardless of their skills. They're meritocratic, in the sense that they seem to ignore all internal differences with respect to social rank, thus allowing the most skilled and talented of them to have notable careers in the context of their respective castes, and only the highest of ranks are predominantly driven by inheritance.<br /> <br /> Vasudans with specific roles in politics and the academic world take this pressure very, very seriously. Governors failing to achieve specific pre-set objectives of their political mandates may oftentimes end their careers in dishonored retirement, or even commit suicide. Lecturers and researchers whose works are proven to be weak or wrong under strict checks within their communities may also end their careers so abruptly. All of this happens in our own culture, too, but more rarely, thereby leading to rigid stereotypes on both sides.<br /> <br /> While, from the Vasudans' perspective, all of this may be an interpretation of death as a necessary means to obtain honor and fulfill some particular goal, this can be actually interpreted as their way to adore life and what it offers.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Second excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> A lot has been written and said about the Vasudan language and its countless dialects, with stereotypes indicating such forms of expressions as absurdly complicated, as words may change - even radically so - depending on social rank, the distance to Vasuda Prime, the underlying circumstances of the conversation and myriad other factors.<br /> <br /> This extra complexity, which adds to the overall complexity of the many thousands of dialects spoken by the Vasudans, may seem difficult to understand and justify by trying to relate it to modern Terran languages. It's commonly interpreted, in fact, as yet another sign of ritualism and superstition injected by the Vasudans into virtually any endeavor in their lives, with the language being just one of the many examples supporting this thesis. As most linguists will agree, however, it doesn't differ that much from what our own languages have been based on in the past few millennia. While the overall complexity of these variations wasn't comparable to that of Vasudan languages, we have many notable examples in our own history proving that, unlike what the stereotypes seem to indicate, adding complexity to text and conversations is not a purely Vasudan tendency.<br /> <br /> To be more specific, in Terran history, with only a few exceptions still persisting today, languages and dialects have taken into account contexts that would cause them to be difficult to understand under modern circumstances. One such factor was social rank, with differences depending on who was talking and who said person was talking to. All known examples were constrained by the fact that they were spoken by natives with extremely limited technological capabilities, as they obviously weren't space faring populations, but the fundamentals we extrapolate from archeological findings point to an apparent convergence.<br /> <br /> Who knows with any certainty? Perhaps, had Terran history proceeded differently, we would be speaking with that same extra reverential complexity that the Vasudan language is built upon.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Third excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> Vasuda Prime, the fourth planet of the Vasuda system, is the homeworld of this species at war with us. Unlike we Terrans, who managed to establish colonies on many planets and satellites of Sol, the Vasudans had to face a much greater challenge, as Vasuda Prime is the only major celestial body compatible with exploitable colonization in that system, so they've relied a lot on jump nodes to found new colonies in nearby systems. The discovery of subspace, in fact, was demonstrably much more of a blessing to the Vasudans than it was for us, and this is mostly due to Sol's peculiarities. We don't have the same need to expand our hegemony to other systems. This is one of the reasons why many suspect that the war was doomed to start regardless of the outcome of the two species’ first contacts, though this is still open to debate.<br /> <br /> The planet is a rather tough environment, and many question how the Vasudans evolved and developed in such a scenario. Its landmass is divided into two major supercontinents which underwent a rifting event only a few million years ago, and are still moving apart from each other. The current geodynamic setting of Vasuda is similar, although far from equal, to that seen on Earth between the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras. Much like with Earth over 250 million years ago, the formation of a single supercontinent - Pangaea, in our case - may lead to radical changes in the environments, with the expansion of deserts in the inner regions resulting in planetwide mass extinctions. Vasuda Prime hosted a colossal desert prior to the rifting event, caused by the collision of smaller continents, and even now, as the two major supercontinents are diverging, the surface is still mostly dominated by deserts. The Vasudans are believed to have evolved in coastal regions of the southern supercontinent, whose climate was more temperate, though still challenging. These geodynamical settings and the timing of past continental collisions have allowed Vasuda Prime to host hydrocarbon reserves at least one order of magnitude larger than those on Earth, and the exploitation of such reserves at the right stage of Vasudan history has allowed the technological boost that ultimately led them to become a space-faring species.<br /> <br /> Unlike Terrans, who have developed more on the technology branch than on an evolutionary scale in the past few thousand years, the Vasudans appear to have experienced an anomalous change a few millennia ago, the origin of which is still debated.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Fourth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> The most puzzling and contradictory perception of the Vasudans is the one that sees them as soldiers who would blindly follow any kind of order given by their general. The reality couldn't be any more different than this perception, supported by fragmented and anecdotal evidence.<br /> <br /> Though their respect towards authorities is unquestionable, applying to many endeavors beyond warfare, each Vasudan is asked to be judgmental and follow precise customs and courtesies to let someone with a higher rank know that they disagree about a choice. This occurrence is rare, but whenever it happens, it exposes a new facet of Vasudan culture and a way to interpret the formalities of authority in a more pragmatic manner. There are limited circumstances where any Vasudan could object to an extremely highly ranked member of their military or Parliament, and do so in a way that would seem absurd to us Terrans. Even in the greatest democracies of our past, the interaction between simple citizens or soldiers and their rules has always had some sort of filter, and our modern era is no exception, despite the GTA's status as a stable and solid democracy.<br /> <br /> Where does the difference lie, then? How come a supposed stricter respect of higher authorities also accounts for interactions between Vasudans whose ranks are vastly different? Some interpret this as a legacy of past times, when the lack of technology allowed more direct interactions between Vasudans of different ranks, though strictly regulated by precise rituals. According to a different interpretation, this may be due to one specific and ancient ritual of Vasudan culture, which used to be very common in small villages with one or two leaders. This inherited tradition expects each Vasudan, at least once in a lifetime, to perform a ritual conversation with a person of a much higher rank, and discuss particular subjects which are determined by respective ranks. The date and content of the conversation would then be a solid part of one's achievements, in a way that would resemble a Terran diploma. Ancient Vasudan tombs have been confirmed to have inscriptions related to this ritual.<br /> <br /> The truth may be within a combination of these two interpretations, which both differ quite a lot from what we've experienced in our own history. Imagine one of our ancestors getting the chance to talk to a king or ruler, and imagine the tomb having an inscription about that conversation as if it were a remarkable achievement, something that heirs would talk about for decades.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Fifth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> As a space faring species, could the Vasudans see the light of technological advance being darkened and shrouded by a veil of superstition? It appears that they potentially could. The Vasudans, regardless of their rank, take ancient texts and lessons from the past very seriously. Their concept of the past itself deserves its own explanation, as it constitutes a key to understanding this phenomenon.<br /> <br /> The main point here is that the words we use to describe these sources of knowledge for the Vasudan people diverge quite a bit from their actual meaning, as seen from their perspective. We talk about Vasudan mythology and prophecies, and by using these words, we carry on implications that don't match the real values of these from their perspective. In Earth's history, a mythology was essentially the religion of a defunct civilization, while a prophecy is something tied to supernatural powers, and therefore very weak once analyzed with reason in mind. This is absolutely not what Vasudan 'mythology' and 'prophecies' are about; both of them, while still vague in their words and open to dozens of different interpretations, are tied to reality in a way far greater than most ancient texts and inscriptions in Terran history.<br /> <br /> The paradox is that we've been influenced more by religion and superstition than the Vasudans have been, yet we took separate paths that ultimately led to our situation being reversed. Our own mythologies referred to hypothetical creatures and stories, while Vasudan 'mythologies' combined supernatural elements with primitive science, in an effort to explain natural phenomena and the intrinsic fundamentals of nature. How could this happen, how come we've ended up pretending to be the rational individuals, unlike our superstitious counterparts?<br /> <br /> Once again, it's a subject with multiple hypotheses and no clear explanations or answers can be given. Researchers, however, point to the Vasudans' religious and political stability over millennia as the main reason behind this difference. While incredibly varied on their own, Vasudan cultures share a common root dating back to millennia ago, and this may have allowed tales and scripts to be carried over hundreds of generations with no changes whatsoever to their influence. It's not the case for ancient Terran cultures, which were geographically constrained and have undergone radical changes on the scale of decades, not millennia. It goes without saying that, as the social and religious momentum in their society is maintained, ancient texts acquire more and more importance thanks to their age.<br /> <br /> This view, however, is not shared by many researchers who still see superstition as the source of these Vasudan behaviors.<br /> <br /> ===[July 29th, 2329] Sixth excerpt from &quot;Beyond the Enemy: understanding Vasudan culture&quot;===<br /> Regardless of the Galactic Terran Alliance's monitoring of all texts and publications concerning the Vasudans, overwhelming evidence about their Parliament being seriously corrupted is hardly debatable. Such corruption is widespread and affects the lives of the Vasudan people in ways that, if hypothetically applied to the GTA itself, could fit the description of a not-so-benevolent dictatorship.<br /> <br /> Corruption has been confirmed to have characterized the Parliament for a significant portion of its history, though sudden increases have been experienced - based on the information that we have - following the colonization of nearby systems. As reported before in this manuscript, the Vasudans are more dependent on space colonization than we are, and it's no secret that something as critically important as the discovery of subspace would have tremendous implications. Early Vasudan subspace travel was severely regulated and inaccessible to most, and the Parliament worked hard to maintain the economic balances of such a great discovery. Space colonization has increased corruption within the Parliament as a tool to control the flow of resources and the consequent influence of those responsible for the harvesting of said resources. The war made things even worse, as military elites put pressure on a number of political debates for things that seem more strictly related to their attempt to gain more influence than actually make decisions relevant to the war effort. Despite all of these major drawbacks, the Parliament as a political infrastructure performs its job, and we have learned more than once that its corruption isn't always a sign of weakness. The background noise caused by deep conflicts of interest does not prevent this entity from ruling over the Vasudan Empire and responding to actions taken by the GTA.<br /> <br /> If we were to analyze the true potential of this phenomenon, we'd temporarily have to disregard the current political setting of the PVE. The current situation is atypical, as a war with another species undoubtedly makes certain interests fall to the wayside in favor of the struggle for survival, but what would happen in a different scenario? If anything, we estimate that the influence of certain elements within the Parliament may be so high that they could secretly divert resources, workforce and combatants to their own factions, if they wanted to.

Brave pilots have been dragged into subspace by the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SI Gehenna|''Gehenna'']], and will fight not only for their very lives, but also for the fate of the [[Terran]] and [[Vasudan]] species. The subspace corridor between these systems is destabilizing, and could be controlled by the ''Gehenna'' itself. Immense subspace and gravitational fluctuations are emanating from the Ungoliant panels mounted on four different sides of the Shivan installations, and they need to be taken care of. Meanwhile, Allied forces in Ross 128 struggle with major [[Hammer of Light]] interference to their operations, as well as the few remaining Shivan cruisers and corvettes left in the system.<br /> <br /> ==Walkthrough==<br /> This is a [[Red-alert|Red Alert]] mission so we'll keep the same designation as the previous mission, and that would be ''Alpha 1.'' Survivors from wings ''Alpha'' through ''Delta'' will be the only Allied forces we'll be relying on in this final mission of Gehenna's Gate. After the intro cutscene, we'll find ourselves in an uncharted system, where the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SI Gehenna|''Gehenna'']] is sending subspace and gravity pulses that are strong enough to make our spacecraft shake. The HUD is overwhelmed by navigation errors and reports on how logistically impossible it'd be to pull back to [[Ross 128]] or any Allied base. In this pure chaos, we have to be quick and order our wingmen to attack the four ''Ungoliant'' panels on the [[SI Arachnas|Arachnas]]: ''Prima, Secunda, Tertia'' and ''Quarta''. We can also go weapons hot and try to eliminate the installation outright, but the surgical strike would be much more effective and safer to perform, thanks to several quasi-blind spots in proximity to the panels. Waves after waves of Shivan fighters will come in to intercept, including [[SF Chimera|Chimerae]] stealth fighters and agile [[Manticore|Manticores]]. In addition to this, many other Shivan units will converge on your position from several clicks away, but they will never get close enough to you to pose a threat. Things will get serious after the second cutscene, showing a [[Lucifer]]-class superdestroyer, the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SSD Diabolos|SSD ''Diabolos'']], entering the area, followed progressively by other ships, which will in turn deploy even more fighters to intercept us. The ''Gehenna'' itself will also track and monitor you, where by you it means ''Alpha 1'', and launch aggressive [[SF Gorgon|Gorgon]] fighters whose only objective is to take down what the ''Gehenna'' perceives as the main threat to its survival. If things go smoothly and you don't lose too much time trying to destroy enemy fighters, the four panels will be destroyed before the bad ending of the campaign is triggered, thus leading to the subspace corridor being temporarily reopened for you to go through and return back to [[Ross 128]].<br /> <br /> The ''Gehenna'' is destroyable without attacking Ungoliant subsystems. If enough fighters survive in [[Lasciate ogne speranza...]] and hold on long enough, they can destroy the station without engaging Ungoliant panels. It's worth noting that engaging Ungoliant subsystems is a much easier way to complete the mission, as their combined hitpoint amount is significantly lower then the station itself, and destruction of all four triggers a self-destruct event. Both ways of destroying the station triggers the good ending.<br /> <br /> The outcome of the mission is in part determined by your performance throughout the campaign. Failing secondary and minor mission objectives, and not performing admirably overall, will both result in the growth of a campaign variable that will get the bad ending of the mission to be triggered faster. If you happen to see the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SD Beast (GehG)|SD ''Beast'']] jumping in, it's over.

Many of the Shivan ships in the area during &quot;...Voi ch'intrate&quot; are named after [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_Comedy Divine Comedy] evil beings.<br /> <br /> *The variable that keeps track of 49 distinct events throughout the previous missions of the campaign, and therefore determines the player's ''malus'' potentially resulting in the bad ending being triggered ahead of time, is named after the character of Minosse ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minos#In_poetry ''Minos'']) from the Divine Comedy, the entity that is tasked with judging souls. The reference to this entity lies in the fact that the player is somehow &quot;judged&quot; for their performance during the campaign.<br /> <br /> *In the old version of the mission, the message tied to the arrival of the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SC Empusa|SC ''Empusa'']] reported the cruiser as a previously encountered asset, yet there's no trace of it in any other mission of GehG. It's possible that it was initially meant to be a warship fleeing from [[Ross 128]] to the uncharted system, where the player would meet it again.<br /> <br /> *Even though the skybox filename, as well as the original campaign plans, both point to the uncharted system being [[Fomalhaut]], as per the main [[Inferno]] continuity, it's worth noting that plot-wise the exact determination of this star system remains vague and uncertain in Gehenna's Gate.<br /> <br /> [[Category: Series Resurrecta]]</div>

Even though all information concerning the [[Shivans]] points them out as a flexible and mobile species, storming system after system without caring about settling anywhere, a [[SI Arachnas|Shivan installation]] has been detected for the first time ever, and its exact purpose is unknown. Its location is not random: it seems to be guarding a jump node leading to an uncharted system, and is assisted by the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SD Minotaurus|SD ''Minotaurus'']], a second [[Demon]] destroyer, and several smaller ships. Both the [[GTA]] and [[PVN]] agree that this threat must be destroyed in order to secure [[Ross 128]] and lead the [[Great War]] to an end. Meanwhile, Allied forces in [[Ikeya]] have secured the system, defeating all of the remaining Shivan forces. Victory is at hand.<br /> <br /> ==Walkthrough==<br /> We'll be leading the squadron as ''Alpha 1'', and as per SerRes traditions, this means that things are getting serious. ''Beta, Gamma'' and ''Delta'' will be with us since the very beginning. Our first task is to eliminate [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#Kharon Convoy|''Kharon 02'']], a Doomtrain convoy survivor that is still causing residual jamming and is heading towards the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SI Gehenna|''Gehenna'']]. The freighter is defended by a wing of [[Manticore|Manticores]] you should be able to dispatch quite easily. Try to eliminate these threats as quickly as possible, and you'll soon understand why it's important. Once they're cleared, two navigation point markers will indicate where the Allied cruisers [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTC Shinryu|''Shinryu'']] and [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTC Hawker|''Hawker'']] will jump in; said markers will also provide information on how the squadron will be split into two and form up escort on the [[Fenris]] cruisers. The player's wing is assigned to the ''Shinryu''. Head towards the marker and form up a fighter screen: the Shivans will redirect a wing of [[Shaitan]] bombers from a position elsewhere in the system with the specific purpose of assaulting the cruiser you've been assigned to protect. Eliminate the bombers quickly.<br /> <br /> The cruisers will approach the enemy station and gather data for the [[GTI]], it seems; more Shivan wings will come in to interfere with the operation, including a bomber wing comprised of the newly encountered [[SB Ojas|Ojas]]. The [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SD Minotaurus|''Minotaurus'']] will move to attack the cruisers, and our allies will withdraw from the area once the destroyer gets close enough to threaten them. A third navigation marker indicating the estimated arrival point of ''Epsilon'' and ''Eta'' bomber wings will show up, and it may be a good idea to head towards it. You may come under attack by [[SF Chimera|Chimera]] stealth fighters in this phase of the operation, and if you don't, be advised it will happen in minutes. Our bombers will move to strike the [[Demon]], which will reply by deploying escort fighters - attack them and you'll ensure a safe bombing run for the [[GTB Ursa|Ursae]]. If things go as planned, the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#PVD Men-Nefer|''Men-Nefer'']] will jump in several clicks away moments before the destruction of the ''Minotaurus''. Congratulations, we have officially cleared Terran and Vasudan space from all Shivan destroyers!<br /> <br /> Our wings have to pull back to the ''Men-Nefer'' and provide cover. The [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SC Alecto|''Alecto'']], a powerful [[Lilith]]-class cruiser, will move to strike the [[PVD Atum|Atum]] destroyer, and it may be a good idea to disarm its [[Series Resurrecta Weapons#Malchidael|Malchidael]] plasma cannon. In addition to this, [[Seraphim]] bombers equipped with [[Series Resurrecta Weapons#Mandragora|Mandragora subspace torpedoes]] will launch from the ''Gehenna'' and head towards the Vasudan destroyer. You should know the drill by now, destroy them as quickly as possible and watch for their salvos with unpredictable patterns. Even if all immediate threats to the ''Men-Nefer'' are cleared, we are supposed to stick with the Atum and don't go kamikaze on the installation, which is still guarded by several warships. The [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTD Nereid|''Nereid'']] will finally reunite with Allied forces at this point, and move in to strike the Shivan stronghold from the other side of the battlefield; both the [[Orion]] and the ''Gehenna'' will deploy wing after wing of fighters and bombers, and most warships in the area will prioritize the ''Nereid'', ignoring the ''Men-Nefer'' even though it's way closer. The first encounter with [[SF Gorgon|Gorgon]]-class fighters occurs at this point. Two enemy cruisers will jump in from the unchartered system and head towards the ''Nereid''. Then, the unexpected happens: a mutiny of [[Hammer of Light]] fanatics takes control of the ''Men-Nefer'', driving the destroyer off its course and endangering the entire operation. In the consequent chaos, we have to destroy traitor Vasudan fighters, while all warships in the area will jump out and converge on a not-so-classified rendezvous point. Allied Command doesn't give up, and orders us to rearm, approach the installation and clear its sentry guns perimeter as a new strategy is planned. Rearming and repairing damaged subsystems on your craft is pivotal at this point; when you feel safe enough, move to attack the sentries. As you get closer and closer to the installation, [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#Cruisers and corvettes 3|two HoL cruisers]] will jump in to interfere, but they'll be too far from you to pose a threat; A unique destroyer will jump in, too. A colossal warp will engulf all units close enough to the installations to be caught, and your wings will be dragged into subspace by the ''Gehenna'', towards the uncharted system.<br /> <br /> ==Notable ships present==<br /> *Alliance<br /> **[[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTC Hawker|GTC ''Hawker'']] <br /> **[[Series Resurrecta Ship Database##GTC Shinryu|GTC ''Shinryu'']]<br /> **[[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTD Hades|GTD ''Hades'']]<br /> **[[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTD Nereid|GTD ''Nereid'']]<br /> **[[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#PVD Men-Nefer|PVD ''Men-Nefer'']] (captured by HoL)<br /> *Hammer of Light<br /> **[[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#HLC Nesihor|HLC ''Nesihor'']]<br /> **[[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#HLC Pehet|HLC ''Pehet'']] <br /> **[[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#HLD Men-Nefer|HLD ''Men-Nefer'']] (captured)<br /> *Shivans<br /> **[[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#Kharon Convoy|SFr ''Kharon 02'']] (destroyed)<br /> **[[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SC Alecto|SC ''Alecto'']] (destroyed)<br /> **[[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SC Focaral|SC ''Focaral'']]<br /> **[[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SC Persephone|SC ''Persephone'']] (may survive)<br /> **[[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SC Rath|SC ''Rath'']]<br /> **[[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SCv Namtar|SCv ''Namtar'']]<br /> **[[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SCv Shumelke|SCv ''Shumelke'']]<br /> **[[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SD Beast (GehG)|SD ''Beast'']] (bad ending)<br /> **[[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SD Minotaurus|SD ''Minotaurus'']] (destroyed)<br /> **[[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SI Gehenna|SI ''Gehenna'']]<br /> <br /> ==Outcome==<br /> The only positive result of the operation is the destruction of the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SD Minotaurus|''Minotaurus'']], while everything else doesn't quite go according to plan. The [[Hammer of Light]] has captured an [[PVD Atum|Atum]] destroyer, the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#HLD Men-Nefer|''Men-Nefer'']], and used classified information to pursue the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTD Nereid|''Nereid'']] as it regroups following the shift in strategies. The battle can still be won, but the final assault to secure [[Ross 128]] has completely stalled, as the wings sent to clear the sentry gun perimeter around the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SI Gehenna|''Gehenna'']] have been caught in a colossal warp, dragged into subspace to the uncharted system. Could this finally mark the end of the [[Great War]]?<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> The mission title is the original quote from the final line of the inscription on the [https://dantesinferno.fandom.com/wiki/The_Gates_of_Hell Gates of Hell] according to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dante_Alighieri Dante Alighieri]'s [https://www.danteinferno.info/translations/canto3.html Inferno Canto III], and literally means &quot;Abandon all hope...&quot;, referring to a multitude of individuals. The title is a further tribute to Dante, and serves as a culmination for all quotes seen in the preloading screen of this campaign. The phrase is completed in the next and final mission, [[...Voi ch'intrate]] (&quot;...you that enter here&quot;).<br /> <br /> In the original version of the mission, [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#PVD Men-Nefer|PVD ''Men-Nefer'']] was a [[VCI Bastet|Bastet]] class destroyer. However, due to the low quality of the model, team member Nyctaeus proposed to change it to the more versatile [[PVD Atum|Atum]] class. The [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#PVC Bastet|PVC ''Bastet'']], an [[Aten]]-class cruiser that is mentioned during this mission but does not appear ingame, was added as a tribute to the old destroyer class.<br /> <br /> The upgraded version of the [[SI Arachnas|Arachnas]], created by Nyctaeus, was a very late addition to the modpack, as it was added only a few days prior to the release of [[Shadows of the Great War]].<br /> <br /> Failing to provide an efficient escort to the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTC Shinryu|GTC ''Shinryu'']] and the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTC Hawker|GTC ''Hawker'']] will result in the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SD Beast (GehG)|SD ''Beast'']] jumping in and causing the entire operation to fail.

In addition to this, [[Seraphim]] bombers equipped with [[Series Resurrecta Weapons#Mandragora|Mandragora subspace torpedoes]] will launch from the ''Gehenna'' and head towards the Vasudan destroyer. You should know the drill by now, destroy them as quickly as possible and watch for their salvos with unpredictable patterns. Even if all immediate threats to the ''Men-Nefer'' are cleared, we are supposed to stick with the Atum and don't go kamikaze on the installation, which is still guarded by several warships. The [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTD Nereid|''Nereid'']] will finally reunite with Allied forces at this point, and move in to strike the Shivan stronghold from the other side of the battlefield; both the [[Orion]] and the ''Gehenna'' will deploy wings after wings of fighters and bombers, and most warships in the area will prioritize the ''Nereid'', ignoring the ''Men-Nefer'' even though it's way closer. The first encounter with [[SF Gorgon|Gorgon]]-class fighters occurs at this point. Two enemy cruisers will jump in from the unchartered system and head towards the ''Nereid''. Then, the unexpected happens: a mutiny of [[Hammer of Light]] fanatics takes control of the ''Men-Nefer'', driving the destroyer off its course and endangering the entire operation. In the consequent chaos, we have to destroy traitor Vasudan fighters, while all warships in the area will jump out and converge on a not-so-classified rendezvous point. Allied Command doesn't give up, and orders us to rearm, approach the installation and clear its sentry guns perimeter as a new strategy is planned.

Even though all information concerning the [[Shivans]] points them out as a flexible and mobile species, storming system after system without caring about settling anywhere, a [[SI Arachnas|Shivan installation]] has been detected for the first time ever, and its exact purpose is unknown. Its location is not random: it seems to be guarding a jump node leading to an uncharted system, and is assisted by the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SD Minotaurus|SD ''Minotaurus'']], a second [[Demon]] destroyer, and several smaller ships. Both the [[GTA]] and [[PVN]] agree that this threat must be destroyed in order to secure [[Ross 128]] and lead the [[Great War]] to an end. Meanwhile, Allied forces in [[Ikeya]] have secured the system, defeating all of the remaining Shivan forces. Victory is at hand.<br /> <br /> ==Walkthrough==<br /> We'll be leading the squadron as ''Alpha 1'', and as per SerRes traditions, this means that things are getting serious. ''Beta, Gamma'' and ''Delta'' will be with us since the very beginning. Our first task is to eliminate [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#Kharon Convoy|''Kharon 02'']], a Doomtrain convoy survivor that is still causing residual jamming and is heading towards the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SI Gehenna|''Gehenna'']]. The freighter is defended by a wing of [[Manticore|Manticores]] you should be able to dispatch quite easily. Try to eliminate these threats as quickly as possible, and you'll soon understand why it's important. Once they're cleared, two navigation point markers will indicate where the Allied cruisers [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTC Shinryu|''Shinryu'']] and [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTC Hawker|''Hawker'']] will jump in; said markers will also provide information on how the squadron will be split into two and form up escort on the [[Fenris]] cruisers. The player's wing is assigned to the ''Shinryu''. Head towards the marker and form up a fighter screen: the Shivans will redirect a wing of [[Shaitan]] bombers from a position elsewhere in the system with the specific purpose of assaulting the cruiser you've been assigned to protect. Eliminate the bombers quickly.<br /> <br /> The cruisers will approach the enemy station and gather data for the [[GTI]], it seems; more Shivan wings will come in to interfere with the operation, including a bomber wing comprised of the newly encountered [[SB Ojas|Ojas]]. The [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SD Minotaurus|''Minotaurus'']] will move to attack the cruisers, and our allies will withdraw from the area once the destroyer gets close enough to threaten them. A third navigation marker indicating the estimated arrival point of ''Epsilon'' and ''Eta'' bomber wings will show up, and it may be a good idea to head towards it. You may come under attack by [[SF Chimera|Chimera]] stealth fighters in this phase of the operation, and if you don't, be advised it will happen in minutes. Our bombers will move to strike the [[Demon]], which will reply by deploying escort fighters - attack them and you'll ensure a safe bombing run for the [[GTB Ursa|Ursae]]. If things go as planned, the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#PVD Men-Nefer|''Men-Nefer'']] will jump in several clicks away moments before the destruction of the ''Minotaurus''.

Both the [[GTA]] and [[PVN]] agree that this threat must be destroyed in order to secure [[Ross 128]] and lead the [[Great War]] to an end.

''Beta, Gamma'' and ''Delta'' will be with us since the very beginning. Our first task is to eliminate [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#Kharon Convoy|''Kharon 02'']], a Doomtrain convoy survivor that is still causing residual jamming and is heading towards the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SI Gehenna|''Gehenna'']]. The freighter is defended by a wing of [[Manticore|Manticores]] you should be able to dispatch quite easily. Try to eliminate these threats as quickly as possible, and you'll soon understand why it's important. Once they're cleared, two navigation point markers will indicate where the Allied cruisers [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTC Shinryu|''Shinryu'']] and [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTC Hawker|''Hawker'']] will jump in; said markers will also provide information on how the squadron will be split into two and form up escort on the [[Fenris]] cruisers. The player's wing is assigned to the ''Shinryu''. Head towards the marker and form up a fighter screen: the Shivans will redirect a wing of [[Shaitan]] bombers from a position elsewhere in the system with the specific purpose of assaulting the cruiser you've been assigned to protect. Eliminate the bombers quickly.<br /> <br /> The cruisers will approach the enemy station and gather data for the [[GTI]], it seems; more Shivan wings will come in to interfere with the operation, including a bomber wing comprised of the newly encountered [[SB Ojas|Ojas]]. The [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SD Minotaurus|''Minotaurus'']] will move to attack the cruisers, and our allies will withdraw from the area once the destroyer gets close enough to threaten them. A third navigation marker indicating the estimated arrival point of ''Epsilon'' and ''Eta'' bomber wings will show up, and it may be a good idea to head towards it. You may come under attack by [[SF Chimera|Chimera]] stealth fighters in this phase of the operation, and if you don't, be advised it will happen in minutes. Our bombers will move to strike the [[Demon]], which will reply by deploying escort fighters - attack them and you'll ensure a safe bombing run for the [[GTB Ursa|Ursae]]. If things go as planned, the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#PVD Men-Nefer|''Men-Nefer'']] will jump in several clicks away moments before the destruction of the ''Minotaurus''. Congratulations, we have officially cleared Terran and Vasudan space from all Shivan destroyers!<br /> <br /> Our wings have to pull back to the ''Men-Nefer'' and provide cover. The [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SC Alecto|''Alecto'']], a powerful [[Lilith]]-class cruiser, will move to strike the [[PVD Atum|Atum]] destroyer, and it may be a good idea to disarm its [[Series Resurrecta Weapons#Malchidael|Malchidael]] plasma cannon. In addition to this, [[Seraphim]] bombers equipped with [[Series Resurrecta Weapons#Mandragora|Mandragora subspace torpedoes]] will launch from the ''Gehenna'' and head towards the Vasudan destroyer. You should know the drill by now, destroy them as quickly as possible and watch for their salvos with unpredictable patterns. Even if all immediate threats to the ''Men-Nefer'' are cleared, we are supposed to stick with the Atum and don't go kamikaze on the installation, which is still guarded by several warships. The [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTD Nereid|''Nereid'']] will finally reunite with Allied forces at this point, and move in to strike the Shivan stronghold from the other side of the battlefield; both the [[Orion]] and the ''Gehenna'' will deploy wings after wings of fighters and bombers, and most warships in the area will prioritize the ''Nereid'', ignoring the ''Men-Nefer'' even though it's way closer. The first encounter with [[SF Gorgon|Gorgon]]-class fighters occurs at this point. Two enemy cruisers will jump in from the unchartered system and head towards the ''Nereid''. Then, the unexpected happens: a mutiny of [[Hammer of Light]] fanatics takes control of the ''Men-Nefer'', driving the destroyer off its course and endangering the entire operation. In the consequent chaos, we have to destroy traitor Vasudan fighters, while all warships in the area will jump out and converge on a not-so-classified rendezvous point. Allied Command doesn't give up, and orders us to rearm, approach the installation and clear its sentry guns perimeter as a new strategy is planned. Rearming and repairing damaged subsystems on your craft is pivotal at this point; when you feel safe enough, move to attack the sentries.

The battle can still be won, but the final assault to secure [[Ross 128]] has completely stalled, as the wings sent to clear the sentry gun perimeter around the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SI Gehenna|''Gehenna'']] have been caught in a colossal warp, dragged into subspace to the uncharted system. Could this finally mark the end of the [[Great War]]?<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> The mission title is the original quote from the final line of inscription on the [https://dantesinferno.fandom.com/wiki/The_Gates_of_Hell Gates of Hell] according to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dante_Alighieri Dante Alighieri]'s [https://www.danteinferno.info/translations/canto3.html Inferno Canto III], and literally means &quot;Abandon all hope...&quot;, referred to a multitude of individuals.

The [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#PVC Bastet|PVC ''Bastet'']], an [[Aten]]-class cruiser that is mentioned during this mission but does not appear ingame, was added as a tribute to the old destroyer class.<br /> <br /> The upgraded version of the [[SI Arachnas|Arachnas]], created by Nyctaeus, was a very late addition to the modpack, as it was added only a few days prior to the release of [[Shadows of the Great War]].<br /> <br /> Failing to provide an efficient escort to the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTC Shinryu|GTC ''Shinryu'']] and the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTC Hawker|GTC ''Hawker'']] will result in the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SD Beast (GehG)|SD ''Beast'']] jumping in and causing the entire operation to fail.

Even though all information concerning the [[Shivans]] points them out as a flexible and mobile species, storming system after system without caring about settling anywhere, a [[SI Arachnas|Shivan installation]] has been detected for the first time ever, and its exact purpose is unknown. Its location is not random: it seems to be guarding a jump node leading to an uncharted system, and is assisted by the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SD Minotaurus|SD ''Minotaurus'']], a second [[Demon]] destroyer, and several smaller ships. Both the [[GTA]] and [[PVN]] agree that this threat must be destroyed in order to secure [[Ross 128]] and lead the [[Great War]] to an end. Meanwhile, Allied forces in [[Ikeya]] have secured the system, defeating all of the remaining Shivan forces. Victory is at hand.<br /> <br /> ==Walkthrough==<br /> We'll be leading the squadron as ''Alpha 1'', and as per SerRes traditions, this means that things are getting serious. ''Beta, Gamma'' and ''Delta'' will be with us since the very beginning. Our first task is to eliminate [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#Kharon Convoy|''Kharon 02'']], a Doomtrain convoy survivor that is still causing residual jamming and is heading towards the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SI Gehenna|''Gehenna'']]. The freighter is defended by a wing of [[Manticore|Manticores]] you should be able to dispatch quite easily. Try to eliminate these threats as quickly as possible, and you'll soon understand why it's important. Once they're cleared, two navigation point markers will indicate where the Allied cruisers [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTC Shinryu|''Shinryu'']] and [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTC Hawker|''Hawker'']] will jump in; said markers will also provide information on how the squadron will be split into two and form up escort on the [[Fenris]] cruisers. The player's wing is assigned to the ''Shinryu''. Head towards the marker and form up a fighter screen: the Shivans will redirect a wing of [[Shaitan]] bombers from a position elsewhere in the system with the specific purpose of assaulting the cruiser you've been assigned to protect. Eliminate the bombers quickly.<br /> <br /> The cruisers will approach the enemy station and gather data for the [[GTI]], it seems; more Shivan wings will come in to interfere with the operation, including a bomber wing comprised of the newly encountered [[SB Ojas|Ojas]]. The [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SD Minotaurus|''Minotaurus'']] will move to attack the cruisers, and our allies will withdraw from the area once the destroyer gets close enough to threaten them. A third navigation marker indicating the estimated arrival point of ''Epsilon'' and ''Eta'' bomber wings will show up, and it may be a good idea to head towards it. You may come under attack by [[SF Chimera|Chimera]] stealth fighters in this phase of the operation, and if you don't, be advised it will happen in minutes. Our bombers will move to strike the [[Demon]], which will reply by deploying escort fighters - attack them and you'll ensure a safe bombing run to the [[GTB Ursa|Ursae]]. If things go as planned, the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#PVD Men-Nefer|''Men-Nefer'']] will jump in several clicks away moments before the destruction of the ''Minotaurus''. Congratulations, we have officially cleared Terran and Vasudan space from all Shivan destroyers!<br /> <br /> Our wings have to pull back to the ''Men-Nefer'' and provide cover. The [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SC Alecto|''Alecto'']], a powerful [[Lilith]]-class cruiser, will move to strike the [[PVD Atum|Atum]] destroyer, and it may be a good idea to disarm its [[Series Resurrecta Weapons#Malchidael|Malchidael]] plasma cannon. In addition to this, [[Seraphim]] bombers equipped with [[Series Resurrecta Weapons#Mandragora|Mandragora subspace torpedoes]] will launch from the ''Gehenna'' and head towards the Vasudan destroyer: you should know the drill by now, destroy them as quickly as possible and watch from their salvo with unpredictable patterns. Even if all immediate threats to the ''Men-Nefer'' are cleared, we are supposed to stick with the Atum and don't go kamikaze on the installation, which is still guarded by several warships. The [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTD Nereid|''Nereid'']] will finally reunite with Allied forces at this point, and move in to strike the Shivan stronghold from the other side of the battlefield; both the [[Orion]] and the ''Gehenna'' will deploy wings after wings of fighters and bombers, and most warships in the area will prioritize the ''Nereid'', ignoring the ''Men-Nefer'' even though it's way closer. The first encounter with [[SF Gorgon|Gorgon]]-class fighters occurs at this point. Two enemy cruisers will jump in from the unchartered system and head towards the ''Nereid''. Then, the unexpected happens: a mutiny of [[Hammer of Light]] fanatics takes control of the ''Men-Nefer'', driving the destroyer off its course and endangering the entire operation. In the consequent chaos, we have to destroy traitor Vasudan fighters, while all warships in the area will jump out and converge on a not-so-classified rendezvous point. Allied Command doesn't give up, and orders us rearm, approach the installation and clear its sentry guns perimeter as a new strategy is planned. Rearming and repairing damaged subsystems on your craft is pivotal at this point; when you feel safe enough, move to attack the sentries. As you get closer and closer to the installation, [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#Cruisers and corvettes 3|two HoL cruisers]] will jump in to interfere, but they'll be too far from you to pose a threat; the [[GTD Hades|''Hades'']] will jump in, too.

The [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SD Secleth|SD ''Secleth'']] and its battlegroup, which has eluded detection for days, has appeared to face the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTD Veritas|GTD ''Veritas'']] and her escorts in direct combat. It will be a matter of minutes before a close exchange, so the pilots onboard the ''Veritas'' have to prepare quickly for a decisive battle. Meanwhile, the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#PVD Imhotep|PVD ''Imhotep'']] comes under heavy fire from warships and spacecraft alike, and the assault seems intended to prevent the [[Typhon]] from providing support to the embattled [[Orion]]. The pattern of these strikes is the same: enemy warships are located, but wings after wings of strike craft arrive from all directions, and their source can't be the ''Secleth'' alone. There's so many of them it can't be just one separate destroyer, either. The mystery behind those assault spacecraft will be solved after the upcoming battle.<br /> <br /> ==Walkthrough==<br /> We'll start the mission as ''Delta 1,'' and we'll have control over ''Epsilon'' wing from our squadron. If you play this mission multiple times, you'll notice that both battlegroups will be randomized in their patterns: there are two possible configurations, one of which is a bit harder than the other, yet perfectly beatable. We start the mission and stumble upon residual jamming effects, which have no influence over us - you'll get many of these warnings, don't get distracted by them. It may be a good idea to order your wingmen to guard the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTC Kimbell|''Kimbell'']] and [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTC Rochelle|''Rochelle'']], as the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTC Challenger|''Challenger'']] usually falls behind and benefits from crossfire. This way, Allied cruisers will be guarded from incoming torpedoes, and the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTD Veritas|''Veritas'']] herself will still be protected in case anything gets too close to the destroyer.<br /> <br /> Wave after wave of Shivan assault wings will jump in, all with their own targets. Light fighters will distract you, while heavy bombers will go after the Allied battlegroup: prioritizing targets is pivotal. Pay attention to ''Leo'' wing of [[Nephilim]] bombers: multiple playthroughs have showed how this wing poses quite a threat to the good outcome of the mission. Some [[SF Serpent|Serpent]] fighters will employ the [[Series Resurrecta Weapons#Kraken|Kraken]] long range missile for the first time: though it is implied that they go after the ''Veritas'' weapons subsystem, these fighters can and will cause enormous damage to Allied cruisers should they pass the defensive screen untouched. In any case, it's essential to keep the ''Veritas'' weapons subsystem operational, or the precision of railguns will drop dramatically. At some point, a wing of [[Seraphim|Seraphims]] equipped with [[Series Resurrecta Weapons#Mandragora|Mandragora subspace torpedoes]] will make a direct bombing run; go after these bombers when they're close enough, but don't stray too far, as they will nanojump and perform a second run. The earlier you clear these threats, the better.<br /> <br /> The defensive pattern will turn into a combined defense-assault effort when the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SD Secleth|''Secleth'']] and its attending warships get too close. When you see the first railgun/plasma cannon artillery exchange, move to attack the Shivan warships and aim specifically at their main plasma turrets. The [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SC Skylla|''Skylla'']] has a powerful [[Series Resurrecta Weapons#Malchidael|Malchidael]] turret which is better off destroyed; taking down the two cannons on the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SCv Daturon|''Daturon'']] would be helpful too. Don't bother disarming the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SC Buel|''Buel'']], it has many light plasma cannons and hitting them is rather difficult: either destroy the cruiser outright, or focus on other assets. Please note that friendly cruisers can and probably will go down in the process, but the mission will still be a go without them. As Allied bombers are launched from the ''Veritas'', it is essential to lure the fight to the ''Secleth'' and engage its fighter escort while damaging its main plasma cannons. Shivan fighters will quickly eliminate the [[Series Resurrecta Squadrons#148th Physeters|148th Physeters]] and turn the tide of the battle, if they're not engaged immediately. If things go as planned, the bombers will handle the Shivan warships in minutes, and only a few errant enemy spacecraft will be left to clear. Once all threats are destroyed, you'll be able to land on the ''Veritas'' and celebrate a decisive victory.<br /> <br /> ==Notable ships present==<br /> *Alliance<br /> **[[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTC Challenger|GTC ''Challenger'']] (may survive)<br /> **[[Series Resurrecta Ship Database##GTC Kimbell|GTC ''Kimbell'']] (may survive)<br /> **[[Series Resurrecta Ship Database##GTC Rochelle|GTC ''Rochelle'']] (may survive)<br /> **[[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTD Veritas|GTD ''Veritas'']]<br /> *Shivans<br /> **[[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SC Blinura|SC ''Blinura'']] (destroyed)<br /> **[[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SC Buel|SC ''Buel'']] (destroyed)<br /> **[[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SC Skylla|SC ''Skylla'']] (destroyed)<br /> **[[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SCv Daturon|SCv ''Daturon'']] (destroyed)<br /> **[[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SD Secleth|SD ''Secleth'']] (destroyed)<br /> <br /> ==Outcome==<br /> The destruction of the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SD Secleth|''Secleth'']], combined with the elimination of several other minor Shivan warships, is excellent news for the Alliance. The Shivan counterattack has been stopped, and no Allied destroyer was lost in the process. Casualties inflicted on enemy strike wings were so heavy that whatever was the source of their deployment, it is now effectively depleted of combat spacecraft and will be unable to respond, if attacked. Yet still, the Shivan assault was coordinated, as evidenced by the precise pattern of a [[Lilith]] cruiser which positioned itself in front of the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#PVD Imhotep|''Imhotep'']] to prevent it from reaching the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTD Veritas|''Veritas'']] and provide direct assistance. Both Allied destroyers have sustained heavy damage, so the final assault on the Shivan source of command in the system has to be carried out by other units.<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> The title of the mission, as well as the related soundtrack created by composer [https://www.richdouglas.net Rich Douglas], are both a tribute to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cizADbZppec Nightmare's theme] from [https://soulcalibur.fandom.com/wiki/Soulcalibur_II Soul Calibur II].<br /> <br /> Besides the many naming references already seen in [[Venturing inside the Tomb#Notes|the fourth mission]], it's worth noting that the Allied cruiser [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTC Challenger|''Challenger'']] is named after an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Conan_Doyle Arthur Conan Doyle] recurring character who, in the tale [https://www.arthur-conan-doyle.com/index.php/The_Poison_Belt &quot;The Poison Belt&quot;], assigns the name [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SCv Daturon|&quot;daturon&quot;]] to a toxic agent.<br /> <br /> [[Category: Series Resurrecta]]</div>

The [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SD Secleth|SD ''Secleth'']] and its battlegroup, which has eluded detection for days, has appeared to face the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTD Veritas|GTD ''Veritas'']] and her escorts in direct combat. It will be a matter of minutes before a close exchange, so the pilots onboard the ''Veritas'' have to prepare quickly for a decisive battle. Meanwhile, the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#PVD Imhotep|PVD ''Imhotep'']] comes under heavy fire from warships and spacecraft alike, and the assault seems intended to prevent the [[Typhon]] from providing support to the embattled [[Orion]]. The pattern of these strikes is the same: enemy warships are located, but wings after wings of strike craft arrive from all directions, and their source can't be the ''Secleth'' alone. There's so many of them it can't be just one separate destroyer, either. The mystery behind those assault spacecraft will be solved after the upcoming battle.<br /> <br /> ==Walkthrough==<br /> We'll start the mission as ''Delta 1,'' and we'll have control over ''Epsilon'' wing from our squadron. If you play this mission multiple times, you'll notice that both battlegroups will be randomized in their patterns: there are two possible configurations, one of which is a bit harder than the other, yet perfectly beatable. We start the mission and stumble upon residual jamming effects, which have no influence over us - you'll get many of these warnings, don't get distracted by them. It may be a good idea to order your wingmen to guard the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTC Kimbell|''Kimbell'']] and [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTC Rochelle|''Rochelle'']], as the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTC Challenger|''Challenger'']] usually falls behind and benefits from crossfire. This way, Allied cruisers will be guarded from incoming torpedoes, and the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#GTD Veritas|''Veritas'']] herself will still be protected in case anything gets too close to the destroyer.<br /> <br /> Wave after wave of Shivan assault wings will jump in, all with their own targets. Light fighters will distract you, while heavy bombers will go after the Allied battlegroup: prioritizing targets is pivotal. Pay attention to ''Leo'' wing of [[Nephilim]] bombers: multiple playthroughs have showed how this wing poses quite a threat to the good outcome of the mission. Some [[SF Serpent|Serpent]] fighters will employ the [[Series Resurrecta Weapons#Kraken|Kraken]] long range missile for the first time: though it is implied that they go after the ''Veritas'' weapons subsystem, these fighters can and will cause enormous damage to Allied cruisers should they pass the defensive screen untouched. In any case, it's essential to keep the ''Veritas'' weapons subsystem operational, or the precision of railguns will drop dramatically. At some point, a wing of [[Seraphim|Seraphims]] equipped with [[Series Resurrecta Weapons#Mandragora|Mandragora subspace torpedoes]] will make a direct bombing run; go after these bombers when they're close enough, but don't stray too far, as they will nanojump and perform a second run. The earlier you clear these threats, the better.<br /> <br /> The defensive pattern will turn into a combined defense-assault effort when the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SD Secleth|''Secleth'']] and its attending warships get too close. When you see the first railgun/plasma cannon artillery exchange, move to attack the Shivan warships and aim specifically at their main plasma turrets. The [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SC Skylla|''Skylla'']] has a powerful [[Series Resurrecta Weapons#Malchidael|Malchidael]] turret which is better off destroyed; taking down the two cannons on the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SCv Daturon|''Daturon'']] would be helpful too. Don't bother disarming the [[Series Resurrecta Ship Database#SC Buel|''Buel'']], it has many light plasma cannons and hitting them is rather difficult: either destroy the cruiser outright, or focus on other assets.
