Well, I didn't set out to become space Jesus, but if anyone wants to hop in and get me a harem, I'm all for it ;)

Also, happy thanksgiving

Hey Everyone.

I keep telling Auctor that Kendrick's post will be up, but the truth is i'm the midst of finals and black friday. come sunday I will have less school too worry about, and a little more freetime but honestly right now i'm just being crushed under the weight of demands.

Oh and happy turkey day to the americans, i currently hate all of you for black friday it was a terrible idea and you know it.

If none of you hear from me it will be because i was trampled to death tomorrow.

TYPE-II PULSE PHASE PISTOL

This project is a work-in-progress, where Kalashnikov is helping us making a pulse phase pistol. Here is the current state of the 3D model, and as you can see, it's only a geometry without texture at this point. I sure would love to get feedback on this project at this stage!


During the Dominion war, it became apparent that single beam particle weapons were ineffective against large groups of Jem'Hadar. As such, Starfleet Security desired the ability to fire multiple short pulses of energy. The Type-III rifle was easily modified with a change of beam emitter, but due to the smaller size, the Type-II hand phaser was unable to be modified in such a way. With the need of a small weapon for use in close combat situations with the capability of pulse fire, the variant Type-II Pulse Phase Pistol was created. Not only to be easily distinguishable between the conventional Type-II and the pulse fire variant, but to also account for an increased need for stability and accuracy, this Type-II weapon took design elements of more traditional handheld weapons, incorporating a pistol-like grip and hard sight points along the top of the device.

Because of the difference in shape and fire pattern, Starfleet personnel required further training on this weapon in addition to standard phaser proficiency. As such, the Type-II Pulse Phase Pistol was standardly reserved for Security and Tactical Conn personnel.

AC-477 MK I VALRAVN

Now, here is something I have shown you a sample of earlier, and I hope you will like...


Wiki Link: https://uss-theurgy.com/w/index.php?title=AC-477_Mk_I_Valravn
Sketchfab Link: https://sketchfab.com/models/2eda411258a14cd6beadc1ebd093c4cc
DeviantArt Link: http://auctor-lucan.deviantart.com/gallery/61227799/AC-477-Valravn-class-Warp-Fighter

This is the first iteration of the Valravn-class Warp Fighter. With origins in the Interceptor Program, which gave Starfleet the Knight-class Interceptors, this fighter was designed to make the interceptor role in Starfleet obsolete. This, in how it is the perfect combination between an space superiority fighter and a fast response interceptor. The Valravn are capable of fast response, territorial defence, but also prolonged engagements. They can strike fast, hard and then regroup for another pass if so necessary, and like traditional space superiority fighters - like the Valkyries - their high manoeuvrability can also hold their own in a dogfight.

The Valravn-class Warp Fighters is the kind of crafts that are commissioned to the Vesta-class USS Orcus, and the 16 crafts are the only ones assembled. As for who is the commanding officer of the Orcus... that you all have to see soon. *grins* In the meantime, I suggest you read up on these on the Wiki.

The original design was inspired by a sketch made by David Heidhoff (http://www.davidheidhoff.com), and with his and his client Brian Choi's consent, I had this fighter commissioned by Kalashnikov. The model was made in Blender and rendered in VRay.

LATEST ARTWORK

Latest Wallpaper: "Into the Celestial Glare"

Latest Character Study: "Sel"

Just some eye-candy, heh. HoE site rules does allow for this modest amount of nudity in images, so I thought I'd show this piece from the boudoir in the newsletter here too.


UPDATED SECURITY OFFICE LAYOUT!


Arista got inspired and updated the layout for the Theurgy's Security Office! I'd say it is a great improvement, and I was very happy to see it. Take a look and see for yourselves.

THAT'S IT FOR NOW!

I am really, really excited about the development in Episode 04. Finally the Resolve and the Theurgy are out of the starbase, and the Battle of Starbase 84 can truly begin. Likewise, on the base, its just a little bit further for the boarding teams to reach their main objectives. It's going to be great, and I hope you all share my enthusiasm. There is a lot of story intrigue in store for you all...

Hope you all are having a nice time when this finds you and take care!

Best Regards,

Auctor Lucan

Hey guys I'm just giving a quick update on something..

It seems as though my gallbladder might be failing. I've been pretty sick now for almost 2 months and it's progressively getting worse. I know I'm up for posting and I'm going to try and have something for you all on Friday, however, if I get much worse than I have been getting I'll likely go to the ER to expedite things and either get treatment for it or have it surgically removed instead. I'll do my best to keep you all posted, and if not, I'll at least leave a note with Lucan and he has my written consent to relay what I tell him here to you all.

Best regards,
~Vys

Thank you for the update here Vystori. I think I speak for many here when I say I hope you'll get better soon, and if you have to go in for an operation, my thoughts will be with you and I hope you'll have a painless recovery. Many hugs!

As for the posting order, I think that given what Mathis has just posted with Derik Veradin on the Resolve, we'll move around the loose posting order set so that FollowTomorrow is next to post with Suq - reacting to the Resolve's inability to go to warp. On Friday, if you are feeling up to it Vystori, then you can chime in with Six and A'vura. Don't worry if you can't make it though!

Looking forward to the feedback people might have on the new fighter and hand phaser etc.

Best,

Auctor Lucan

Praise the maker, I have survived black Friday and all the ridiculousness that goes with it.

I agree with you Kaligos, it is a dumb day, but most stores make more in that single weekend  than they do in the entire first quarter of the year.  And we all know how we Americans like our money. Just look who we picked for president *facepalm*

Vystori, I hope you get better sooner rather than later :) sorry to hear you might be out for a while though.

And Lucan, the images are amazing!

EAC: I stayed away because quite frankly, there were no good sales to be had. Everything on sale I didn't want, and the couple items I was interested in, not on sale.

Vys: Thoughts are with you girl. Hoping things turn out for the good.

Auctor: Liking the update. Office layouts are cool, but I'm also a blueprint geek so that is expected. Sel's looking hot. Anyone feel the urge to 'exercise' with her?

On the fence about the AC-477. I like the broad winged design as it's akin to the Broadsword class fighter from other Trek Simms I am on. [Show/Hide]
Not so sure about the whole bussard & wing extension out the front as it seems to impact the visual sight lines of the pilot tho. Neat looking craft though, even if it doesn't entirely feel Federation or even Trek to me. :)

Or my fave quote. "Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one." :P

I know the TVD is there but I guess I'm also a purist and the Mark 1's never fail. (Well, they do but if a modern fighter pilot loses them he's fucked anyways.) My pilots also tend to have ground support background so the Mark 1's are extremely usefull even in a modern cockpit with all the HUD & TVD systems available. Speaking of TVD, the latest generation Eurofighter AFAIK has a TVD system now. They moved the HUD display into the helmet and the fighter tracks the pilots head movements. :)

Glad you like the design of our security centre, out of all of us, Sel would probably be the one spending the most time there. (That's why she gets the super cool double desk!)

After staring ridiculously long at the old Security centre design, I wondered what if the bullpen where most security officers used the workstation was circular instead. Everything progressed from that. So far, I'm managed to suggest new designs for Deck 1 and the Security Centre, but don't worry, I promised Lucan that I wouldn't be touching Sickbay! ;)

Also, I'd love to train with Sel, although I'm sure Cinn would be too busy concerned about her gods.

Since Even Angels Cry and I posted so closely together in the new thread battle of Starbase 84, its easy to miss what just happened to the USS Resolve. So far, two people missed the post, so I have decided to post it here too.

So, Derik can't make the Resolve jump to warp. Then, Suq reaches the conclusion that ship is sabotaged, and then, I posted this:



[ USS Resolve | Main Bridge | Deck 01 ] Attn: All Resolve Bridge Crew

After the Efrosian made his announcement, another hail came to the Resolve. Once it was opened, Ian Hawthorne's face was seen on the viewscreen.

"Going somewhere, Kendrick?" he said, but there was no jest in his tone - the words belying the darkness in his stare. On the contrary, the fact that the Resolve had tried to flee the battle had been apparent on Starbase 84's sensors, and he did not stay the Sword of Damocles. "You should have surrendered when you had the chance."

Then, the transmission ended, with no chance for a reply.

Within five seconds, the first Interceptor opened fire against them. Then the second, and the third. In short order, the Resolve's shields were bombarded by pulse phaser cannons, Interceptors sweeping across overhead and carving lines into the dorsal hull when the emitters couldn't regenerate the shield quickly enough. Five Interceptors became ten, then fifteen. A whole squadron had made its pass, cutting its mark, a whole pack tearing at the Resolve with its teeth. Within thirty seconds, when the first squadron had made its pass, a second squadron followed. Sixteen more interceptors going for the ventral side of the already damaged Luna-class ship, releasing photon torpedoes into the deflector dish and the starboard nacelle. Without mercy or delay, Commander Jared Salazar had ordered his pilots to take out the Resolve...

...and unless something was done quickly, the shield generators would not keep up, and the ship would be destroyed within minutes.

The lights flickered on the bridge with each jarring impact. Hull breaches sprung where the shields failed all across the ship. Life-signs vanished from the internal sensors. Consoles detonated in bright conflagrations. Sparks rained from the ceiling like sediment sinking to the bottom of a glass. Smoke from fires welled up, and burning plasma shot from the bulkheads. The noise on the bridge was deafening, and warning klaxons were heard on all decks.

On Starbase 84, Captain Hawthorne watched the viewscreen that showed the Resolve's plight - hiding a faint smile as he watched its dance of death.



Just making sure everyone are on the same page. :) Oh... Um... Kendrick or Keval might want to release the wolves by now?

Best,

Auctor Lucan

I don't see why Cenn couldn't at least approach her. From my original read of her before I took her on, I kinda got the impression her belief in the pah wraiths was more a rebellion against the faith she'd been taught growing up then it was a real firm belief in them. And with her I'm kind of steering her towards less of a belief in them, eventually she may just abandon her faith all together or come back into the fold. Just not sure right now.

Fantastic image's lucan. Vys, as I said earlier, do get better soon. The new security layout is also quite epic.

Sarresh would be happy to have a work out again with Sel at some point ;)

Please welcome Hastata-Nerada, our newest Theurgist, whom will be writing Lieutenant Commander Vivian Martin. Hastata-Nerada is an old acquaintance of FollowTomorrow the way I hear it, and a friend of FollowTomorrow is a friend of ours. Welcome aboard!

NEW WIKI PAGE - STAR TREK: THEURGY CANON

This is a helpful page for everyone to know about, where some finer details about our story is ironed out. Here it is: LINK

In short, there are no slipstream drives, we have Tactical CONN and parasites in Starfleet Command etc. etc. Oh, and the parasitic invasion in TNG Episode "Conspiracy" didn't happen. We have used the same premise but made the aliens harder to detect and more nasty, basically. Also, there is some info on the current political situation. Many thanks to Arista for the help with a few sections there!

That's all for this short update!

Best Regards,

Well if "Conspiracy" never happened then that helps explain why no one thinks that such an infestation is possible.
