Pata Array

The Pata energy array has been completed. This will enable the base in Pata to transfer energy directly to Off World in AW. Redoubt has completed the system repairs to most machines. He will begin storing the transferred energy until a level is reached to reboot all the systems.

Mechs Arrive in Pata





Tunablues had dreamer2 send the first group of mechs to Pata. Protection will be at the highest level in Pata until all order is restored in Off World AW. Redoubt is having success in repairing the damages caused by the solar storms. A new teleport center will be setup soon in AW for the Pata link.

USS Christensen Commissioned


The newly launched USS Christensen, one of the newest ships built in the Off World Navy Yard on Pata, completed her trials and entered active service. The ship appears to be a simple deep space scout but is, in fact, a deadly hunter killer. The deception is part of the over all design of the craft and it hosts an oversized space drive and energy capacitor. It has long ranges sensors, cloaking and packs a punch with twin plasma beams cannons referred to as “long bows”. The Captain of the Christensen (see official photo) refers to each deployment as “her hunting season and is known to wear a camouflaged hat and a bright orange vest in combat. As with most new ships much is automated and the crew complement is small. The Christensen is rewriting the book on hunting pirates and terrorists along the main supply route between Pata and the Old OffWorld Colony.

New Ground Control and Terrain Leveling



OffWorld Naval operations found it necessary to utilize the armament of the rebuilding fleet to level ground in the vicinity of the new Navy Yard. A considerable amount of energy was expended in reducing uneven terrain in to level and serviceable spaceport facilities. In addition to docking ports a new ground operations control tower was installed. New ships are arriving on a daily basis. Many of the better ships sent from Earth have been pressed into the Fleet. Ground leveling operations will continue as the fleet continues to expand. Cargo handling facilities are planned for the near future.

Kronos Power Units

The Kronos power unit is technology derived from an alien invasion of the Earth in the country of Mexico in 1957. Information regarding the alien power storage mechanism came from old magnetic storage wire discovered on Earth in 2006. The information compiled by a super computer named S.U.S.I.E., was a wonderful example of 1950's technology. S.U.S.I.E. was about the size of the football field, but had no discernible functions or means of output. That would explain why the technology was not exploited. The data remained unmolested in a lead mine and was in prefect condition when discovered. Scanning the information required the 4.7 million miles of magnetic wire to be run through a mechanical reader and took close to 15 years to complete. Ironically the necessary data would hardly fill the storage capacity of today’s plasma projection wrist watch.

The OffWorld Navy built several Kronos units to use as deployable energy sources and some of them serve the Navy as mobile Auxiliary Power Units or APUs. They do have a tendency to wander off and suck power from any available energy source. Anyone spotting one of these units outside the Navy Yard should notify OffWorld Intelligence - Naval Fleet Operations (I-NFO) at once.

A New OffWorld Navy Headquarters


The OffWorld Navy completed the initial construction of the new headquarters building. One of the first services installed is a teleport platform for ships currently in the yard. The headquarters is large enough to handle the expanding capabilities of the Navy. Additionally, more detail construction will occur as personnel and services relocate from the old colony location. One of the key features is a tall control tower capable of handling all movement of ships within the new Navy Yard. One of the wings of the headquarters will become deep space operations center.

The "Jean'd Arc" Arrives on Pata


The deep space battle cruiser "Jean'd Arc" was out of range when the solar flare energy pulse destroyed the hyper drives of the ships in the Navy Yard. It was diverted to Pata and has arrived at the initial objective rallying point for the OffWorld Navy. The “Jean’d Arc” is one of the few ships specifically built for the Navy. She has a small crew but the ship carries three sets of twin annihilator disruptor weapons. The additional firepower and range to the reconstituting Navy is critical. While on Pata she will undergo extensive renovations. Fortunately, power captured from the initial energy surge is sufficient to continue running high-volume teleportation of parts and material. The rush is on to get as much material teleported as possible before energy fades. Several other ships of different classes are still being recalled. Additionally, space message traffic indicates numerous disaster relief transports from Earth are on the way. The Navy anticipates and adding these in-bound spacecraft to the Navy in an effort to reconstitute the fleet.

Navy Articles and Acts Updates

Article 7

The OffWorld Navy shall seize and occupy unregistered planetary bodies for the good of the colony and its economical needs.



The Celestial Object Seizure Act

The Navy is authorized to take any Celestial Object not listed in the Earth or OffWorld Registry of real property. Such objects, regardless of size, when surveyed and registered by any OffWorld Navy spaceship become the property of the OffWorld Corporations and will be administered by the Navy until such time as the corporations reassign stewardship to another corporate entity for exploitation.

Solar Flare Hits OffWorld!



The Glorianna reports a massive solar flare headed for OffWorld. The flare was detected during a routine patrol returning from the planet Pata. The energy spike is off the measurable scale. OffWorld Naval Operations predicts the flare will arrive in a month. Estimates indicate this flare will be a ELE (End of Life Event). A focused electromagnetic pulse preceding the flare has already hit Offworld and rendered the hyper drive engines, for ships currently in the Navy Yard, no longer operational. These ships will not be able to make the trip to Pata but can sustain local operations. The Navy will be able to redirect much of the energy in the flare into a controlled energy stream sufficient to run the universal teleport system to allow robots, material and people directly to Pata. Teleportation transport, after the initial evacuation, will be sufficient for individual travel but not commerce. Space borne shipping will be required. Fortunately, the Navy has sufficient craft on assignment outside of the path of the flare. All ships with operational hyper drives are to proceed to Pata there to reconstitute the OffWorld Navy.

OffWorld Expands!

Following numerous armed encounters with the inhabitants of the planet Pata the Navy elected to establish a base. Robot construction of a docking port is complet and a single armed destroyer the "Conan" remains on station. There is a strong possibility that additional facilities will be relocated from the current colony to Pata. Initial surveys of the planet indicate a breathable atmosphere an extensive natural resources. The planet supports several indigenous lifeforms and has a dazzling array of flora and fana. The management of the corporations associated with current corporate operations on OffWorld were advised by the office of Naval intelligence of the staggering potential of the planet. The Navy was instructed to establish a beachhead and support the exploitation of this new find. There is no record or registration of the planet in any earth related records. Therefore OffWorld takes possession of the world as a new discovery. The current inhabitants will be informed of this change of status as they are encountered.
