The Scorpius War Begins Thursday, September 29, 2011 A terrible war for complete control has broken out in the Echo Cluster. The 11 races, locked in an intense battle for dominance, have each named an elite military commander to lead their forces to win total control and power on behalf of their race and individually to rise to 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. So begins, the Scorpius War. The following champions have been named by each race to represent them in the Scorpius War: The Solar Federation name: Captain The DukeThe Duke has shown tremendous promise in his powerful, ongoing campaigns in the Bortex System and Epsilon Indi System where he has sunk massive numbers of ships, along with his other campaigns he has sunk an impressive 55515 Kt of enemy vessels. The Lizard Alliance name: Commodore Thin LizzyThis popular and charismatic leader has distinguished himself in successful wars in the Ophiuchi System, Disney World System and Delphi System capturing an incredible 584 planets for the Alliance. The Empire of the Birds name: Captain Admiral ThrainA cunning commander, with close ties to the media, he's combined ruthless tactics and a powerful propaganda machine to win favor in the Empire and win a rare, but complete victory for the Birds in Flatland System. The Fascist Empire name: Captain NicodemusCommander Nicodemus was chosen and promoted to Captain for the Fascist Empire for his wise diplomacy and careful management during long and difficult campaigns in Beta Auriga and AC 71 systems. The Privateer Bands name: Commodore Mesh HongTwo battles entered, two victories achieved in the Big World and Thi Alpha Chi systems and a possible third on the way, this nasty pirate has become an inter-galactic terror feared by all. In his own words: "Round your starbase, robbing your stuff........" The Cyborg name: Commodore Obscure313 planets assimilated. 60383 KT of enemy vessels sunk and the Roll and Ceti Alpha one systems have been absorbed. He will add your biological and cultural distinctiveness to the collective. The Crystal Confederation name: Commodore SpaceSquadWeaving a tangled web of minefields, backed by carefully developed, powerful economies Commodore SpaceSquad has won glory and victory for the confederation in the Ceti Helios and Chispix systems and has never lost ground over three campaigns.The Evil Empire name: Commodore HalionHalion won fame and respect in his incredible 195 planet, full 65% military conquest of the Forel System after 120 Nu turns. A feat which is nearly unprecedented in the Echo Cluster where most militarily measured campaigns have been ended through diplomatic solutions. The Robotic Imperium name: Commodore Ronnle RobotThis tireless, calculating leader has led forces in and amazing 8 planetary systems over the past 8 Nu Years capturing 662 planets and sinking an incrededible 92577 KT of enemy vessels making him the second most destructive commander in the Echo Cluster. The Rebel Confederation name: Captain Tom GravesThis surprise selection distinguished himself in the Chanda M System showing his quality as both an economic mastermind and careful diplomat in his victory over a strong collection of enemy commanders. The Missing Colonies of Man name: Captain Aladrius"Utter conquest", is the only way to describe the 225 planet, 65% military victory engineered by Aladrius in the Bimbo System one of the earliest battles to begin since the revolution and creation of the Nu Calendar. All For GloryWinning even one victory in a full 11 race epic conquest battle in the Echo Cluster is an incredible feat. Most of these commanders have repeated that accomplishment many times and all of them have consistently risen to the top in their battles. Now they must face the ultimate challenge. To beat the best of the best. Which one of these commanders will win ultimate glory for their race and for themselves? Which one will become Emperor of the Echo Cluster? Only the coming Nu Years will decide. Representing your race and its future place in history is not without risk. All 10 losing commanders will be stripped of their rank and all their achievements and will have to start again as lowly midshipmen for their race. The winner will be elevated to the title Emperor and will be remembered for all time as a hero among their people. In addition to glory in the Echo Cluster, the following prizes will be awarded by the overseers of the Nuniverse:

Very interesting, I'll keep watching. thin lizzy - Friday, September 30, 2011 12:33 PM Planets Nu - Joshua: The Mastermind of Planets Nu has become famous for bringing VgaPlanets to a whole new level. As a brilliant player himself he knows exactly how to constantly improve tension and gaming experience which go far beyond the known hosting sites. From the October 1st 2011 he can not only call himself the designer of the most respected Planets game in 20 years of history, but also the creator of the coolest Planets site on the Web. Rsss'Taa'Nkkk to the whole team and good luck for the upcoming Nu Years !! dungeonmaster - Friday, September 30, 2011 12:56 PM Fight bravely, playing for all the marbles now. Interesting to note how many of the top players on the leaderboard did NOT accept this challenge. challengespaceyard - Friday, September 30, 2011 9:12 PM Four (4) premium players that were above the participant(s) declined the invitation. Non-premium players do not count, as they are not eligible to join the championship matches anyway. admiral_thrain - Saturday, October 01, 2011 6:33 AM I was a non-premium player when I got my invite... challengespaceyard - Saturday, October 01, 2011 6:46 AM If that is the case, then make that five (5) players that declined the invitation. admiral_thrain - Saturday, October 01, 2011 3:21 PM Except I didn't decline. Non-premium players also got the invites. I had to upgrade because Romulan Star Empire didn't want to sponsor me... Lack of trust or something I suppose. :)
