Jstone

From Egs Mayhem

Revision as of 02:34, 7 September 2007

Pseudo-lurker who doesn't participate in many games or RP's, but is a member of the EGS Defence Force. (Serves as a liaison officer between the Terran Defense Fleet and the EGS Defence Force. Is quickly gaining multiverse-alternates.

CreatorJstone

CreatorJstone is the embodiment of Jstone's creative side and a manifestation of Jstone himself. CreatorJstone is a minor godlike entity, though he is all-powerful within worlds he has created. CreatorJstone is normally laissez faire about the events of the forum, though he has intervened in the Invasion Alert! thread to stop The Editor (netpoet22), whom CreatorJstone believes is also an author-avatar.

Jstone (character)

Jstone the character was a result of Jstone the poster's involvement in the original 'Invasion Alert!' thread on the main EGS forum. He started off as Jstone with a FAMAS and some fancy DragonSkin body armor, and quickly evolved a back-story. He is a mercenary with access to anything on the civilian market, some newer european/american guns, and some old Soviet heavy equipment. He had a chance encounter with the TSS Constitution some years back, caused when a routine space-fold jump was thrown off-course into his universe, and quickly became an ally to the TDF forces aboard. It was because of this that he was able to call them to battle. Is the alternate of Jstone(poster).

alterJstone

This Jstone alternate has been a member of the Terran Defense Force since they were a planetary resistance movement. He is interested in computers like Jstone(poster), but has focused almost entirely on hacking due to the alien invasion. alterJstone has used his skill in this area to help disrupt the alien's communications systems, and eventually learned enough about their computer systems to be able to gain partial control of enemy starships, albeit for a limited amount of time. Like the rest of the TDF, alterJstone has much experience in both open and shipboard combat.

Terran Defense Force

The TDF was called to EGS's aid by Jstone. From a unverse where Earth was captured by aliens, the soldiers of the Terran Defense Force are used to fighting battles against seemingly impossible odds. All the technology they have access to was reverse-engineered from alien technology that was captured in battle. The TDF marines' skill in shipboard combat is second only to their skill in ground combat.

Forces in EGS are currently:

• 8 Constitution Class frigates
• 2 Revenge Class battleships
• 1 Oriskany Class carrier
• 1 Stealth Ship.

Constitution Class

The Constitution Class Frigate makes up the backbone of Jstone's fleet. It is moderately armed and armored, and has a good number of ground troops and air craft.

• Armor: -Classified-
• Armament: 9 heavy railguns. 14 light railguns. One centerline particle-beam cannon. Multiple point-defense cannon and missile batteries.
• Sublight: 2 high-output fusion engines. Max sublight speed: -Classified- (will not reach maximum speed under normal conditions)
• Superlight: spacefold drive. maximum fold distance: -Classified-
• Ground Troops: 150 infantry, 100 unmanned combat ground vehicles.
• Air Vehicles: 30 manned fighers, 52 unmanned fighers, 20 unmanned support craft.

Revenge Class

The Revenge Class Battleship is the brawn of Jstone's fleet. The armor and armament dwarf that of the Constitution Class Frigate.

• Armor: -Classified-
• Armament: 12 high-output particle-beam cannons. 6 Heavy Railguns. Multiple Missile tubes and point-defense weapons.
• Sublight: 3 ultra-high-output fusion engines. Maximum sublight speed 0.60C. (will not reach maximum speed under normal conditions)
• Superlight: spacefold drive. maximum fold distance: -Classified-
• Ground Troops: 200 infantry, 250 unmanned combat ground vehicles.
• Air Vehicles: 30 manned fighters, 100 unmanned fighers, 30 unmanned support craft.

Oriskany Class

The Oriskany Class Carrier is used to carry any craft that does not have it's own jump drive. These include landing craft, air combat craft, and other intra-system vehicles. There is a large artificial-gravity deck on the upper portion that functions as a dry-dock for repairs.

• Armor: -Classified-
• Armament: multiple point-defense batteries.
• Sublight: 3 high-output fusion engines. Maximum sublight 0.60C (will not reach maximum speed under normal conditions)
• Superlight: spacefold drive. maximum fold distance: -Classified-
• Ground Troops: variable. depends on craft carried.
• Air Vehicles: variable. depends on craft carried.

Stealth Ship

The stealth-ship is used in much the same way that the German U-Boats were used: surveillance and anti-commerce. The ship is covered in radar-absorbing materials, and has zero EM emissions when "running silent." The stealth ship can be covered in a meta-material cloak to make it completely invisible in the entire EM spectrum (including light.) When the cloak is deployed, the stealth ship uses a periscope that protrudes from the cloak for navigation and target acquisition. The periscope can be retracted if necessary, in which case the ship will function on inertial guidance.

• Armament: -Classified-
• Sublight: -Classified-
• Superlight: spacefold drive. maximum fold distance: -Classified-

Ground Forces

Ground forces are organized into 5 person teams. Each team has four light infantry and one heavy infantry. Light infantry are equipped with a TDF Skin Suit - skin-tight armor with similar appearance to a wet-suit which augments strength and speed, provides advanced sensors and comm gear, protects against most small-arms fire, and can even protect its wearer from the vacuum of space. The heavy infantry wears a heavy exoskeleton in addition to the skin-suit. The TDF Heavy Exokeleton augments strength even more, provides even better protection, and is fitted with powerful armament, including .50cal machine guns, rockets, and a 20mm chain-gun. Later versions have increased reactor output, allowing the 20mm chain-gun to be replaced with a rapid-fire railgun capable of penetrating 150mm of steel armor at a range of up to 1000 meters.
