The Military of Nyphilis United

[Swordsalmon]

I don't particularly care for the story, but the starbase is pretty dang nice. ^_^

@Shadowscythe: Your old micro ships were actually really cool, it'd be neat if they (or something with a similar asymmetrical style) made a comeback. I might make some of 'em myself, if I have spare time over spring break after building everything else (yeah, dream on...) Those ugly things PedoNuker shat out are a poor substitute.

...so why not just come up with a new faction? Really now...

...so why not just come up with a new faction? Really now...

Damn you guys, you keep making me post shit and pollute this forum even though I told myself not to.

I made this all up before the Altai sector, I swear. In one outer system, a child was born, one of the blood of the Original Deadly Spaceman. He never realized it, until one day when he was a young adult he read in the paper of pedonuker's punishment by the Praetoria System's stellar judge: life imprisonment, instead of the death promised by President Austin. He seethed in anger, creating a fraternity in college that was forcibly disbanded by the system government. Eventually, he developed worked hard for years until he had enough money to buy the local mercenary company, WhiteWater. When he bought the company, he used it to protect the neglected system from space pirates, earning much fame and support from the system's populace. He then created his own small political party garnering support from the locals and thereby winning one seat in the Nyphilian House of Representatives. And so he named his party the Paladins against the Pedo, solely focused on delivering proper punishment to the pedo. It was then that, in a vision, he learned he was a true yellow spaceman, and he embarked on a year-long quest, finally besting a fellow yellow spaceman in hand to hand combat and taking his spacesuit. He then returned to his home system, spray painted all of his vehicles yellow, and rallied all he local citizens to his cause and declared war on the Nyphilian Empire. His puny force would have been defeated by the massive Sector 8 Battlegroup, and though he was a brilliant tactician and destroyed 50 ships for every one he lost, the Nyphilians kept coming until he was down to his last two ships. Then, the battlegroup was struck with a terrible fear, for the immortals suddenly warped up from behind and destroyed almost all before they could respond. The Spaceman's fleet dodged their way through the debris of hundreds, if not thousands of broken spaceships, expertly avoiding the massive chunks of floating plastic. Lord Warhead himself was in the fleet's command ship. Though Warhead initially was planning to fire at them, he sensed the pure and utter hatred of pedonuker in their heart's, detecting no fear in their 2 puny ships against what destroyed a thousand. He alliances with them, both with the common goal of hunting down, and once and for all, killing the pedonuker.

Thread to come soon, I have models of their two ships, I need to represent their land forces. Colorscheme: Yellow and Trans-yellow, considering the rarity of trans-yellow this faction will be bitch to build.

So far I can't find a Temple of Atlantis here in Virginia, this will ground construction of the Athenia AND the starfighter I'm going to build for the Paladins against the Pedo .

I'm working on my Nyphilian force, so far I have gotten rid of the Nyphilian Marines, they are not really needed in my army. The jetpack commados are now my marine force, my star marines defend the ships and the prominent jungle and desert corps do better than marines in their specialized terrains, so niche exists for the old marines anymore, however I'll still keep the old marine corps minigunners, they have shown much mettle in combat.

Edit: I'm keeping the marines, so far I have 5 Paladin troops and a tank, when I build their fighter I'll post them.

[GeneralOfDeath]

It just so happens that Project Aurora is the speculated codename for a US Air Force project to make a mach-6 plus attack aircraft...

Slight typo, Mach-6 plus stealth attack aircraft.

The Glasses, The Suit, It Just Proves The boneriffic Have Invaded

Oh, Come Off It Beluga. The Nyphilians Are All But Destroyed, Why Don't You Just Give In For Once?

[beluga]

It's my largest army, and I just don't have enough time anymore to build a new faction as awesome as this. I built this last, last summer, it's been trashed and rebuilt several times, but now that I'm going to go to my first year of high school next school year, I won't have any to much time to build or brikwar. I'm keeping Nyphilians no matter what.

[Darth Terminus]

Very Well, But One Question How Many Planets Do You Still Control?

[beluga]

5 planets in this galaxy, but they're hidden and also easier to defend. Nothing but military depots and of course Central Command, our agents throughout the galaxy pump money back to us so we don't need an economy or trade or anything related to them. We still also hold that extra-galactic colony, the two IGS's have been ordered never to return unless the President and the Chief General both give the correct passcodes and orders to return.
