Star Trek Armada II: Fleet Operations

As all, well, most of you know, I'm not the biggest Trekkie...Now on the "Future releases" it says the "Dominion, Iconian and Ciadan" for three more races. I've heard of the Iconians and obviously know a lot about the Dominion, but what are the Ciadan?  :blush: anyone have an image of a "Ciadan" ship? I know this is kind of out of the blue, are they somthing the dev. team made up or are they an actual race that I've just never heard of? :huh:  

The ciadan are a fictional race made up by the FO team, if you do a forum search there used to be a few storylines for them knocking about.

Moose

And optec has a ciadan ship as his avatar, at least I think so  :sweatdrop:  

Oh, alright...I was confused, thanks guys :)

Optec's avvy is ciadan? I thought it was some futuristic dominion ship...

dido

Hopefully its an aquatic race...i love aquatic races...dont ask why.

why?

:fish:  

I can't find any other entires on them, but IIRC their race will only use Dilithium for ship production, and i think i remember a vague comment about them being a warrior race like the Klingons.

right i spent the last hour trying to find it but i failed sorry guys.

Jan :lol:  * Jan slaps Eufnoc around a bit with a large trout!

I love that script :lol: Fish slaps no slaps back :omg:

How can you only use dilitium? that would make their ships made of dilithium too :omg: that'd suck, we couldn't attack them, they'd take out the entire sector :lol: isn't dilitium like...unstable? I mean it's used to power the ships right? (Sorry, no Idea how a warp core works :P) matter anti-matter reactions and dilitium comes in there at one point...so it must explode...or something...:omg:

But that's what makes it a challange... :lol:

Nah, they probably have some mind-boggling particle acceleration tech for converting other materials from Dilithium. Either that or the dilithium is traded during construction for other things.

If it is particle accelleration (which i'm an immense fan of), then they can expect a visit from me and some "freinds"...

...We are one...
:borg::borg::pimp::borg::borg:

Dilitihium comes in shape of crystals.
It's used to focus the energy plasma that is created by the M/AM reaction (anti-hydrogen and deuterium).

It degrades over time, but the 24th century starfleet starships have auto-regenerating technology that realigns the crystal.

So dilitihium is far from being unstable.

So it's like the focusing crystal on a lightsaber, interesting, it focus the energy from the diatium energy cell into the emitter...hmm, thanks Commander White, didn't know that.

PLEASE VOWE THIS THREAD FOR INFO ON THE CIADAN

ok...Interesting...extreamly inefficent...but interesting, one power source for all the ships, one giant target begging to be killed :P however that'd make an interesting starbase :) "Children Playing With Bricks" in certain aspects of astrophysics doesn't work so well :lol: Testing to see if you can destroy the fabric of the universe is not the most intelligent experiment one could make :omg:

I knew there was a thread on it somewhere in the dingy past :P

wait...I have a question, who gave them this advanced technology? because playing with physics isn't going to create cold fusion...so how did they create all this?

well, playing around with anything might have unseen off-shoots, Technologically speaking anyway.

Yeah...such as...uhm, violent radioactive death? :omg:

that too.  ^_^  

ahh thanks ewm, thats why i could not find the bloody topic it did not have ciadan in the name lol

well it cover the ciadan iconin and more..

i just want the dominion i dont care about the rest i cant wait to rip apart federation ships lol

ive even got the IA match set up Me dom vs fed rom and klin Hard Ai's

probably get ****** up but still  

im gonna e iconian.  and the iconians got destroyed by there own creations i think.  remind you of anything?.  speaking of own creations.  i read a book by william shatner where spock contibuted to the creation of the borg.  it seems that voyager from the TOS movie was modified by the early borg.  HMM INTERESTING :wacko:  :fish:  

Isn't that Star Trek The Return.  Good Book I liked it but I think Shatner's Potrall of the borg was alittle off.

i dont think the borg can lie because that would be inmperfect. so the whole speal about betraying the romulans is impossible?

you don't have to lie in order to betray someone, you can just change your mind later on  

hmm self deciet
my god the borg are fraked up in the head
billions and billons of voices at once!
LIE!
no!dont!
It is more efficient to lie!
it isnt perfect!
Do it!
NOOOOOOOOOOO!

Anouth thing is where is the borg gueen in the Book
and Shatner Is still thinking TOS he said the federation phasers were blue not the orange they are in the newer seires.

i think that was a flashback.  right?
and besides the queen only controls one branch right?
that would explain her dying twice
once in first contact and once in voyager :fish:  :fish:  :borg:  :borg:  

I thought that they had back up copies of her lying around so if one is damaged they load up a copy of her memeries into a new body.

that's wath i thought too.

The Queen is not the "ruler" of the Borg, they don't need or have one.  She is not the Central voice, either.  She is more of a figurehead, sort of like Locutus was, except she was created, not assimilated.

she was assimilated. her voice and species met the borg's ideal of perfection, and thus she is the voice and the conduit. her species is listed in the database.

wasn't there an epsisode, donno if it was voyager or other series where it was explaned that when the queen did a temporal message was sent back to prevent her death?

hmm i dont remember that 1.

  it does make sense

Actually in the first contact, when Picard said "but u died in the first attack on earth, you were in that cube."
She replied: " you think in such 3 dimensional ways, look how small you have become"

So there she implicates that she did do some time travel :)

ah i knew it was some sort of time thingy
