War between whom? As I recall we originally planned for the inciting incident to be Sith scout ships encroaching on several nations' space. I think that event would be more likely to get a response. The alternative is for the Imperium to simultaneously attack several systems which would either make them more powerful than I think any faction should be at the start or be tactically unsound since they lack the strength to hold those systems.

Never mind the takeover going on inside the Black Fang itself, which is sure to start trouble all over the galaxy as well.
Oh, yeah, Sept. 7 has passed.

What's going on with Black Fang that would cause problems with the galaxy?

Basically, Nergal is using Sonia to manipulate the Black Fang and use it to start conflicts, which he's using to harvesting the force from the conflicting parties.
Why? Because he thinks he can use what he's harvested to become a God. And he's freakin' nuts.

I'm not the only one who can delete s**t. And, seeing as it's just an a** of a process, go ahead and delete some every now and then, if I don't finish up.

Aright, I need some ideas on how to make the DragonGate work. It works like a Stargate in it's function, but rather than opening in other areas of this universe, it opens up in alternate universes. In the source material, the DragonGate was used to pull Dragons from their home universe into the universe the story took place in.
So, any ideas on how to explain how this works?

Kuro Hishikami Aright, I need some ideas on how to make the DragonGate work.

I have a question of my own. I thought of a kind of bullet I'd like the Mirai to use, but I don't want to use it if it goes against the Accords so I'd like everyone's opinions on it:Quote: Necrotizing Rounds - "Necro" Rounds are bullets designed to maximize wounding capability. A silicon-based coral-like projectile is grown in such a shape that the bullet embedded in mobile tissue is pushed forward while cutting through the tissue. This motion causes the release of self-similar subprojectiles radiating out from the bullet by the same mechanism. This continues with progressively smaller projectiles down to microscopic silicon triangles. The bioengineered surface shreds soft targets while the silicon composition kills carbon-based tissue. The rounds are designed to be armor piercing, but failure to penetrate will still release its subprojectiles into the air to cause irritation to exposed tissue and limited necrosis. When a target is hit by one of these rounds, there is intense pain as the projectile works deeper and releases subprojectiles. Additionally, the target's own circulatory system will spread microscopic projectiles and toxins released by the necrotic tissue.

The Dragongate was part of Nergal's plan in the source material he and the Fang were pulled from. I guess we could always resort to the old-fashioned "IT'S MAGIC!" Plot device, since that's what it was originally, but that's up to you guys.

Going on the assumption that they're "dumb dumb" rounfds, I think they're fine. Its really no different from a poisoned Shrapnel bullet. While terribly nasty, I think they pass.
As for the DG, could it be a relic that is hooked up to Another Galaxy's Hyperspace? We had already played with the idea of the Warp being a corrupted Hyperspace Network in the Mutter's Spiral (Home Galaxy). If that's the case, said 'dragons' could be lesser Hyperspace demons.
Another possibility is that the Dragongate is merely a Protoss Stargate connected to an actual world where dragons live. This would, however, make the process for acquiring a Dragon a bit like fishing. I'm more partial to this alternative. There's no need for reality-breeching.
The Dragons could have some sort of natural attraction to the energy given off by the event horizon, much like people respond to ionized air.
Yet another possibility is that the DG is a matter replicator of sorts, creates the dragons when activated, randomizing the genetic makeup.
As for the Nosferatu, that makes a lot of sense, and goes with the whole allergy and logical explanations.

Even calling it magic, it would still have to follow some course of logic as does the other magic used in the Guild. My point is that this isn't Fire Emblem; this is the Guild. We've already got a fairly thoroughly established universe. Wholly adopting some outside storyline is therefore almost impossible and not really the best idea when we have so much to draw on already. So the DragonGate as a completely alien and ancient device probably isn't necessary. Look at what it is exactly that you want the DragonGate to do and then look at what technologies exist in the Guild to do it. By virtue of its Star Wars roots and our collective input previously, there is an incredible wealth of ancient civilizations and advanced technologies available to create a DragonGate. And it is entirely possible that something in the Guild already does what you have planned for the DragonGate, which is what I refer to when I ask if the DragonGate is necessary.
I like DA's Stargate idea and would be fine with Mirai Stargates continuing to be a borrowed technology. The DragonGate could even be the last remaining original Protoss gate in the SW galaxy.

The Protoss Gate is definitely the best fit for what it's meant for. Thus the world with Drangons would probably be a seperate world outside of the Galaxy. It also negates the messy alternate universe problem created by the original idea.

That sounds good, but now you're going to have to reconcile this with your previous descriptions of the DragonGate and more importantly your description of the F.L.O.A.T. System, which you said was based on the DragonGate. Stargates don't utilize Space Folds in any way. Nor Tachyons.
And completely separately I'd just like to point out that Iridium is a real chemical element in the Periodic Table of the Elements. Atomic number 77; a very hard, brittle, silvery-white transition metal of the platinum family; the second densest element and is the most corrosion-resistant metal. So it kind of bugs me that there might be something else called Iridium in the Guild.

What? Well then, I'll have to give the Iridium a name change...
And I'll have to change where the F.L.O.A.T. system came from, too...
