Wednesday, October 11, 2017
The tenth Championship match has begun.
The 11 races have once again named an elite military commander to lead their forces to win total control and power on behalf of their race and individually to claim the ultimate seat of power and ascend to the throne as the Almighty Commander of the 11 races, his Excellency, The Emperor of the Echo Cluster.
Please welcome the proud commanders participating in The Pisces War!
The following champions have been named by each race to represent them in The Pisces War:
The Solar Federation name: Vice Admiral Loner
He may not have survived the Gemini War, but Vice Admiral Loner is not one to give up. He is a captain looking perhaps for the right command. His experience at the helm of nearly every race means he knows that a brazen faced approach isn't necessarily the way to execute a death defying outcome. After all, you still need to feel the blood rushing through your veins in order to claim a throne.
The Lizard Alliance name: Vice Admiral Tom Graves
If Vice Admiral Tom Graves were to try and write up his resume, he wouldn't be able to fit it all onto one tidy page. Thousands of hours spent in the captain's chair have prepared him for this moment. Decisive wins in under 108 turns have been the norm. You'd best watch your back because before you know it, you'll have a T-Rex at your doorstep.
The Empire of the Birds name: Vice Admiral Galadan
Some say that bird's wings are delicate - Vice Admiral Galadan seems to have found something different. Soaring to six top two finishes in just eight battles has proven his ability to strategically use every advantage available to him.
The Fascist Empire name: Admiral Plumilol
Hailing from a purple planet, Admiral Plumilol floats on to the scene like a recluse into a crowd. He's been quietly demonstrating one solid performance after another and a few will know his name, a few will not. Favouring the "weak" races, it seems this commander is hoping you'll consider him the underdog...just make sure you don't end up the sitting duck.
The Privateer Bands name: Fleet Admiral Nuuk
There's no world but the Privateer world. It's like Fleet Admiral Nuuk is forever dedicated to seeking atonement (whether you've wronged him or not - you will pay the price!). Alas, at the same time, hunched over his console Admiral Nuuk still knows he belongs to the lonely-hearts club of the Echo Cluster and is always looking for new crew members. Will your ships be seen floating helplessly away from your territory to his?
The Cyborg name: Vice Admiral Forger
His various crews would probably understand if Vice Admiral Forger suddenly contracted a case of siderophobia considering his illustrious career, but so far disappointing outcomes in championship battles. He continues to live up to his name however and will likely invent yet a new approach this time, which may just win him the throne.
The Crystal Confederation name: Vice Admiral SImonopolis
Considering the nature of Crystal entities, it makes sense that Vice Admiral Simonopolis enjoys the hot-seat. He may breeze across space like a sandstorm or he might wait for you to muddy up your own tires in the traps he sets. Either way, one doesn't want to predict, but The Confederation has held the throne before.
The Evil Empire name: Rear-Admiral Cinnamon
It could be the high glycemic nature of baked goods that results in lightning fast triumphs for Rear-Admiral Cinnamon - sadly it seems that when the sugar rush is over, there isn't much left but resignation. Let's hope for his sake that he's packed a satchel of emergency pastries to call on when the going gets tough.
The Robotic Imperium name: Rear-Admiral PureBloodPrince
The title Rear-Admiral PureBloodPrince does have a highborn, if slightly ostentatious air about it. There was even a rumour at one time that he carries a real metal sword to use in hand to hand combat if it comes to deck-side blows. You can't be sure however whether or not he'll live up to the noble part of his name or just go for blood.
The Rebel Confederation name: Rear-Admiral Kelmain
You might be looking at your next greatest ally folks. Rear-Admiral Kelmain has been quoted saying "If I agree to something, I will abide by that agreement." Who knows if the winds of this war will sway him into less forthright territory. If you decide to communicate, choose your words carefully.
The Missing Colonies of Man name: Vice Admiral Spacepilot
Seeming to show favour for the plucky, fighter-heavy race, Vice Admiral Spacepilot has taken a number of paths during his years at battle. A few feather's in his cap have helped to earn him a spot at this very impressive table. You can expect to see a running start for this fleet.
In addition to glory in the Echo Cluster, the following prizes will be awarded by the overseers of the Nuniverse:
