Howdy peeps.
Figured I d create my first thread (hopefully an interesting one!) - so i was wondering what you would do in the following scenario (just for the fun of it/ to make a interesting thread) - the scenario is based at the time of the Ancient-Wraith war - thus assume (using the info we have from Stargate series) that the technologies and resources you have would be similar to that which the Ancients had!
Scenario:
Your an Ancient Military Officer. The Ancient-Wraith war has been waging for some 10ish years. Your people have for the last 8 to 9 years had the Wraith on the run, by sending Aurora class warships powered by ZPM's out to hunt down Wraith forces solo. However in the last year to 2 years your people have lost several Aurora class warships powered by ZPM's - presumed destroyed along with their crews.
You don't know it... but the Wraith have stolen the ZPM's and in secret locations are now cloning their army and ground forces at a huge rate, growing new hives and cruisiers at an massive rate from the power supply of the ZPM's
Since the destruction of the Aurora warships, over the last year and a half there has been rapidly growing pressure on your forces, and the tide of war has slowly been changing, with the Wraith gradually bringing more and more forces to bare against your people - the Wraith ground force in the last 2 years is estimated to have multiplied tenfold - and is still growing, and over the next 10 to 20 years if their growth carries on at this rate will look set to be a hundred-fold (100times) larger than what the Wraith forces used to be a year or 2 ago.
Realising this, the Ancient (mainly civilian) High council recently ordered the military to send the bulk and best of your peoples ships to protect an diplomatic envoy aimed at coming to some sort of agreement with the Wraith. This fleet contained many of your peoples best and most experienced officers and commanders, the entire military command staff above you - and of course around 3/4 of your peoples fleet, including the most advanced ships you had.
The Wraith have ambushed the fleet, utterly destroying it. With the destruction of the majority of your peoples fleet, the Wraith have launched an all-out galaxy wide offensive against your people. With the command staff above you dead, you ve just become the Ancient supreme commander - in charge of your peoples remaining military.
So far (up untill your fleets destuction) your people have managed to keep the Wraith contained to the outer-rim worlds of the Galaxy - away from any major Ancient Colonies, and away from the major Human worlds.
Currently, you have:
- 14 Aurora class warships which aren't ZPM powered.
- 12 Atlantis style city-ships based on 12 worlds, which form the centre of your peoples main colonies which need protecting. However due to being peaceful for some 5million years previously, these cities are powered by only 1 to 2 ZPM's each, and fully inhabited. Your people do not currently have anymore spare ZPM's - as the spare's were used to power the ships belonging to the fleet which was destroyed. You can assume that while your building more ZPM's, you ll never have the ability to get all the cities fully powered up in time before the Wraith arrive upon them - and due to the cities being fully inhabited, and forming the nerve centre of your peoples colonies - moving the cities is simply not feeasible.
- Atlantis - which has 3 ZPM's
- Around 20 defence satellites available for immediate deployment.
- About 400 Puddle Jumpers available between the various City ships, and Aurora warships.
- Ground forces comprised of trained "Security" forces estimated at 20,000 personalle - spread out between Atlantis and the 12 city-ships. Currently armed with basically just body-armour, hand pistols and life-sign detectors.
- With your people now terrified at the destuction of your fleet, your civilisation has finally gone onto a all-out war footing. Estimated industrial production of Aurora-class warships is set to look at around 14 - 15 a year.
- Your people have limited ground-warfare abilities, but have a potential manpower reserve of some 60million - all of them having never fought and are untrained, and ground-warfare tactics woefully naive/ inexperienced - with what equipment you have being limited to mainly body armour, and hand pistols!
- Construction of puddlejumpers is estimated at around 150 a month, and defence satellites around 4 - 5 a month.
- Other projects currently have no known estimates, but are predicted to reflect realistic time-frames matching the above!
The Ancient High Council
The Ancient High Council has ordered you to take charge of your civilisations war-effort. You are to stop the Wraith advance at all costs, turn the tide of war - and defeat the Wraith.
In addittion, you have been ordered to do everything possible to defend the human populations of 130 known human worlds which have not yet been touched by the Wraith. You can assume that due to the morality of the council, that potential weapons such as the Alterro device will be ordered to be shut down, and projects such as Nanites (the Asurans) will also be ordered to be put an halt to by the Council. In essence, you can't do anything which might go against what your people stand for.
Latest reports indicate that after destroying your main fleet, the Wraith space forces have been reduced down to an estimated 25 - 30 remaining Hive Ships, with 80 - 100 cruisers. Wraith ground forces are estimated at 200,000+
All estimates predict that the Wraith are building Hive ships at a rate of around 25 to 30 a year, and around 80 to 100 cruisers a year. Ground forces are rising at a rate of about 220,000 a year.
So - what would everyone do in the above scenario? - i ve tried to keep the scenario relatively-close to what I personally think it would have been close to after the Wraith blew the Ancients peace-attempt (and escort fleet) to pieces...
Use some initiative/ different idea's, but try and keep it realistic with regard to the Stargate universe
