========
With the threat of anyone being one of those dastardly Federation ships, the fleet quickly ensued into a ball of chaos as friendly fire was traded among all ships engaged in the mission to find and destroy the Kestrel and its allies.
Soon, the Fleet had finally reached the edges of the first sector, and the mighty Rebel Flagship would soon give orders to cease fire. But finally, amid the chaos, one ship had been singled out.
Captain Zakeri soon found himself the target of more weapons fire then he quickly found he could handle... the pressure of his task and the threats of those around him were finally starting to wear down...
Instantly, just as things were nearing their peak, something within the captain and his crew snapped. In an unprecedented move, Zakeri's ship made a sudden turn into another Rebel ship, catching the unlucky ship off guard as Zakeri's ship rammed it. The sickening sound of metal screeching as it cuts through metal could not be heard through space, but it could be felt by all present as the fight, for a brief moment, ceased, to watch this spectacle. What was the purpose of this suicidal move?
....Wait, it did not appear the ship piloted by Zakeri was actually damaged.... in fact...
The sickening feeling could only be felt worse as many soon came to realize that this ship was not just driving itself into another ship... the rebel ship was being consumed! Zakeri and his crew... they were eating the ship....! And then... they're going to eat us!
Oh my Goooooooooooooood!
The ceasefire did not last long after. With incredible might, the full force of the Rebel Fleet came bearing down on the ship cannibals, before they could do any more destruction. It was only seconds later before Zakeri and his ship were soon rend into shreds, no longer a threat to the Rebel Alliance.
Zakeri and his ship,
The Kruos, Rebel Universal Backup, has been destroyed!
Welcome to Faster Than Light Mafia, Captain!
You have been chosen to pilot the mysterious Lanius ship, The Kruos
The Lanius are a strange and feared race of beings made from metallic structures, mostly derived from their diet of metal. Akin to this, they also have the amazing ability to shape metal into whatever they like, able to copy weapons and other technologies they find and consume, making them fearsome fighters. The Lanius had hidden themselves for many years but have recently reemerged like a plague upon the galaxy, as they consume the metal of their prey worlds and ships. The Lanius do not need to breathe, so when their food source is depleted, they go dormant and float through empty space, until they find their next unfortunate victims.
This time, however, the Federation ships have proven to be most rich and delicious prey. The rebels and such you have allied with seem to have the same idea, you think.
Your ship's special ability is:
Assimilation. From the broken scraps of others, you can feast upon their remains.
This ability lets you replicate the basic abilities of broken ships you have decided to feast upon, letting your ship gain the ability to do what they did before death. A very powerful ability, with which you can use to help or hinder others you may think of as friend or foe.
You can use this ability by PMing ##Assimilate: Dead Playername
You can only use this ability during the Scrapping Cycle
Your ship only has enough space to hold one copied technology, and this can't be undone, so choose wisely before you activate it.
You wish to eat the Federation ships, and thus this space combat won't stop until you've destroyed their entire force.
tldr you are a Rebel 1-Shot Universal Backup. This doesn't work on scum
The Scrapping Cycle has begun. The Rebel Fleet will move onto Sector 2 in 27 hours.
Send Private Orders to the Rebel Flagship before the end of the Scrapping Cycle on Stardate D18M07Y2015, 3AM EST Earth Time
