Into the Black

We’ll be back

loziras — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 18:08:29 +0000

Sorry for the premature arrival guys. We will be launching Into the Black hopefully in September/October

On Hold

loziras — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 03:32:06 +0000

Just so everyone is aware Into the Black’s release has been pushed back to September due to re-write issues. The storyline is being redone and we will try to keep everyone up to date through the FNS feed. Also Chronicles will be going down till September after the end of Chapter VIII.

Thank you for bearing with us. Also anyone trying to contact the staff send messages to Charles over at New Age as we’re in the middle of trying to network up the sites no clue how that will happen but we might wind up moving, so just watch the FNS feed and your RSS feeds for announcements.

Re-Working

loziras — Mon, 23 May 2011 02:49:36 +0000

After much discussion and talking among myself, my editors, and the staff, We have decided to delay the official launch of Into the Black until later this summer as we have decided to rework the story line significantly to expand on many points people felt were lacking. There will be some name changes, and possibly a bit of idea stealing from other sources. Thank you for your patience.

SPAMALOT!!!!

Okay just saw Spamalot at the NJPAC last night, really funny! It was a lot like the original Broadway show, but with some new twists to modernize it. And of course, ERIC IDLE AS GOD FTW!!!!!!
Also, Lady of the Lake trashing Lady Gaga, epic win! Eric Idle still has it.
It’s a limited engagement show, but if you can get to see it before its gone, DO SO!
For those who are classic Python fans, watch the historian!

ITS CONTEST TIME AGAIN!!!! sorta…lol

loziras — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 03:32:21 +0000

okay so this isn’t REALLY a contest, but it is a way for our viewers to participate. We are looking for more names for star ships and starship classes. If you want to try to peg your own moniker on one, submit your idea below in a comment!

As always we love your input!

4th Fleet of the Royal Martian Navy is preparing to deploy to Wolf 424 to aid the beleaguered 10th Irregular Guard. Already the great foundries of Bernard’s Star are had at work to equip the ships that will sail forth to combat the Dominion.

A full list of ships has not been released to the FNS, however rumor has placed HMS Reselute as the flagship. The new Reselute-class Monitors are the largest ships ever to be constructed by any allied race! Surely not even the mighty Krill Dreadnoughts can stand her might long!

Meanwhile in Wolf 424 the 10th Irregular Guard continues to hold off the menace of the Krill, but loses have been heavy. Among the casualties, ATGS Omaha and Neanderthal were destroyed in combat with a Krill Super Dreadnought, which was destroyed when the Omaha rammed the immense vessel.

In other news, the Federation of Free Planets has voted unanimously to commit its fleets to the aid of the Alliance fleets. Already the 3rd Grand Wing has begun its journey to Wolf 424 from Wolf 1061.

On a lighter side, the Xiati Directorate has passed a new zoning bill, allowing new habitats to be constructed for the growing number of immigrants from the out-worlds. This new bill allows the construction of 10 new habitat stations along their border with the Protarean Protectorate.

“It is finished my lord,” announced the historian as he placed the archaic pen in the ink well. The wizened old man was well into his third century, and as many older humans were obsessed with antiques from pre-space Earth, such as the archaic ink well pen.

“Well done my friend,” hummed Second Prefect Yintek, vice chairman of the Eee Consortium’s government. “This history of your species’ evolution specifically that of your Federation will be a most valuable chapter to the history of the quadrant.”

“I am happy to help you, my lord.”

“For pity’s sake Charles, we’ve known each other for two centuries, no need for formalities.”

“Very well Yintek, but only in private!”

“You win…now let us see what you have created…”
