First Capital Falls to 3rd Space Invading Race

[Sheridan]

The Narn Capital has now been occupied by the alien invasion race (see email below). This is the first of likely many capitals to fall. Ours included, as it is undefended.

As various nations come under assault, the EA offers support in the way of moneys, intel, repair facilities, shelter, etc,.. to all nations.

It will be a glorious finally to the end of the game.

Good Luck Crew.

The FF's are the 3rd Space Alien's scout vessels. As the messages alluded to in the "Vorlon Artifact" messages, the Vorlons opened a rift large enough to send through a scout vessel. The 3rd Space Aliens have done the same. Hence, why you are only seeing scouts. There are only two way large 3rd Space Cruisers will enter our galaxy.

1. We foolishly reconstruct the destroyed gate spoken about in the messages.

2. The Hyperspace gate is opened. This is what the 3rd Space scouts were/are looking for in H-space. Hence, the message received about 'still searching' at the 2522 gate during Turn 2.

Now since we will not reconstruct the gate at the Vorlon HW, da ref will fall back to PLAN B, i.e., let the 3rd Space scouts find and open the H-space gate. I assume this will occur with the advent of the New Shiplist.

good deductions, but one thing, are you sure ALL gates are currently closed? I would bet they are not all closed. IF they just need a gate, they can find one somewhere. I am sure the REF made provisions for such a catastrophic situation as our(everyone) ability to close all gates would have stopped reason for the campaign. Those frigates got here somehow. we also know there are bases(1 or more) of theirs out there.
those dont travel through gates, so who knows how they got here.
for intel purposes, that base that was spotted, just suddenly appeared there. it was not there one impulse, and it was there the next. No ship was reported being in that hex the impulse before, nor the impulse it existed. (unless the REF failed to notify the correct person(s) about such viewings), hint hint ref?

[Ho Chi]

All gates are open by default. Hence, unless all have been OC'd and CLOSED, they are still open. So I too think there are open gates.

The H-space gate I am referring to is not a gate from H-space to our space. I am referring to the H-space gate the Vorlons constructed to go from H-space to 3rd Space. There is but one of these gates in H-space (as prescribed in the messages). The other gate was constructed and destroyed at the Vorlon HW, i.e., the anchor piece is all that remains.

How are the 3rd Space vessels getting to our galaxy? I assume a small wormhole was created just large enough to allow the passage of a small vessel, just like the Vorlons did in their initial experients. But a gate was necessary for larger vessels. Hence, why the Vorlons constructed the two gates. How a "BASE" would get here is a good question? If a gate wasn't necessary then what took them so long and what are the scouts searching for in H-space?

Act One, Scene One:
Setting: …Somewhere on Narn Prime, in the shattered ruins of New Compton…sitting atop a burned out Cadillac Escalade HoverSUV

An Eminem song playing in the background…
“Yo', never was a thug, just infatuated with guns, never was a gangsta, 'til I graduated to one…”

Two strung out Crack addicts, standing around looking skyward…
First Crack Addict: “Hey Man, what’s dat?”
Second Crack Addict: “Huh?”
First Crack Addict: “Yo…dats dem Erth Allaynz Punk-A$$es flying away!”
Second Crack Addict: “Uh-huh… Ok Yo”

Eminem Song still playing: “…and got the rep of a villain, for weapon concealin', took the image of a thug…”

First Crack Addict: “Hey Man, what’r doze?”
Second Crack Addict: “Huh? Wha?”
First Crack Addict: “Yo Can You Stop Smokin Dat Crack Pipe for a Minute?”
Second Crack Addict: “Damm…Man, Yo jus’ a MEAN Gangsta Man”

First Crack Addict: “Yo… look at dem mechanical bada$$es kicking our butts!”
Second Crack Addict: “Sheeit, Yo think we oughtaa run?”
First Crack Addict: “Hell yeah! Yo… Dya see dat? I aint never seen nuthin like dat!”

Eminem still:
“Step by step, heart to heart, left right left
We all fall down like toy soldiers
Bit by bit, torn apart, we never win
But the battle wages on for toy soldiers”

Second Crack Addict: “Gimme Back mah Crack Pipe, Yo!”
First Crack Addict: “Come on, lets get outta here. Aint no way were fighting dem! Time to go hide again…”
Second Crack Addict: “Word Up, Yo!”

Like rats, the Crack Addicted Narnian Street Hoodlems retreated into the ruins of their former capital, New Compton.

Eminem was left playing:
“We still have soldiers that's on the front line
That's willing to die for us as soon as we give the orders”
