Kinori «Stealth Ship» Eoraptor-1 • Command Deck

Four Kinori Special Troops bask in the high humidity and hot red lights of the small command deck. Three of the Kinori recline in improvised hammocks attached to the ceiling. The floor is littered with chocolate wrappings, empty cans and other refuse. A fourth Kinori sits at the helm.

Vernidass - Are we there yet ?
Pernidass - Asking every 5 minutes won't change anything
Sernidass - Not again ! If I wanted human children on board I would kidnap some !
Eernidass – I'm detecting a ship following us in Meta Space. Get to your stations!

The crew members move to their respective work stations. Vernidass shows open hostility towards Eernidass.

Vernidass - Why is he always telling us what to do?
Pernidess - Cause he's the Eer and your the Ver.
Vernidass – And your the Per ! (whispering to himself) After this mission I will ask Vor_Eer.
Pernidass - pfff! Empty threats
Eernidass - Pay attention to your weapons console Vernidass. I will grant Vor_Eer when we get back. You will regret your threats.
Pernidass – Told you !
Vernidass – (shocked) I was only jesting. (looking at Sernidass) Tell him you’re the Ser of this ship!
Sernidass – We have a mission to finish. The egg comes before the hatchling.

Eernidass – Vrusk ship dropping out of Meta Space.
Vernidass – Excellent, more toys to exterminate the smelly Humans.
Pernidass – Only thing we ever agree on ...

Fraal Colony Ships • Rise of the Kinori Campaign

Since the destruction of their homeworld the Fraal have developed and perfected Colony Starships. These superstructures are home to an average of 25 000 Fraals. The PL8 design of colony starships is completely modular.

Concord Transport Tube
This gigantic cylindrical tube is used for «very fast» transport around the colony. Freight and passenger shuttles constantly travel in this weightless environment. All shuttle movement is automated and is controlled by the colony AI. One only need board a shuttle and enter the destination. Travel in this tube take one round per tube segment.

The Concord Transport Tube doubles has superstructural support that houses six independent Colony Nodes. In the event of a major catastrophe each Colony Node is self sufficient and has FTL capability. In its center the CTT also supports the Central Command Node, the Colony Powercore and the main FTL engine.

Transport Tubes
Similar in nature to the CTT these smaller structures have gravity and atmosphere. Opentop gliders are used to move from one platform to another. Movement in these tubes is not governed by the colony AI. One can either pilot the glider or let the autopilot take over. Maximum speed is limited to 100feet per round.

Colony Nodes
Acting as main support of Fraal communities, Colony Nodes are a group of six one kilometer long platforms. Each platform supports 7 towers that house an average of 100 Fraals. Platforms have 5 levels used for the production of goods and food for the colony node. The 4 main floors of the towers are used for administrative, leisure and scientific activities. The 10 top levels of the towers are used for housing.

The central tower of the central platform of each CN houses the Colony Node Council. The towers extend below the platform. These four levels are used for storage and have docking facilities. They also house the CN power core and FTL drive. Each CN has its own attack/defense AI system. This AI becomes slave to the CCN's AI when in Colony Starship configuration.

One in three Colony Nodes are modified to serve as spacedocks for heavy freighters and military starships. Refitting and restocking of military vessels take place in these facilities.

Central Command Node
Housing the powercore, central AI and FTL engine of the Colony Starship this node also doubles has Central Command Center. The administrative, military and political bodies of the colony hold court in these small structures. It is also self sufficient for short periods of time.

Attack/Defense capabilities of Fraal Colony Starships
Attacking a Fraals Starship Colony would be equivalent of attacking :

• 7 Superheavy PL8 colony ships

AND currently docked :

• (1d2+1) Superheavy military PL9 starships
• (1d3+2) Heavy military PL9 starships
• (1d4+2) Medium military PL9 starship

Sculptor Dwarf Galaxy* • Technophage Sectorial Assembly

The one known as One Eye, of clan Diamond Crusher, stands fully erect in front of the Technophage Sectorial Assembly. No less than 25 clans leaders have answered his call. Such is the reputation of One Eye, slayer of the Lizard Ones. His battle scars are testimony to his honor and courage. Today he chooses to use the «Conqueror Stance» to modulate his speech. Every sentence he utters is accompanied by ritual movements of the head, neck and legs. It his a very difficult stance to use. Few ever attempt it in public meetings. A single false movement and you are instantly perceived as an imposter by your peers. The social stigma is such that the perpetrator must seek atonement for 150 ellipses.

One Eye knows no fear today. He has the assurance of a true leader. His speech is stirring. The assembly is in his hand. He toys with them. Plays on their fears. The others are a menace. The Gray Ones must by purged from the hunting grounds of this sector. They attacked first, killing 5 hunters and destroying a tetrahedral ship. His «Conqueror Stance» is perfect, none can oppose him. The hunters will go to war against the Gray Ones. Already emissaries are leaving the assembly to herald the start of the first «Purge» in 165 years...

The Wise One of clan Diamond Crusher leaves the Sectorial Assembly with a heavy mind. No one can dispute that the slayer of the Lizard Ones is a leader among the clans. But never before has the Wise One heard One Eye speak with such determination and force. He is a changed hunter. Almost unrecognizable...
