Drecanis

Drecanis RPG

Summary

DRECANIS is an epic storyline RPG, taking place in the recently annexed system of Draakin, formally owned by the Ferengi. The story deals with the recovery of a reptilian quadaped species coming back from near extinction. They have found a new home, and work to not only rebuild their society, but to show they are strong enough to apply to become a member of the Federation. Thier goal to accomplish this... building a starship for Starfleet that uses their Wyrmdrive technology. To do this, even the simple things, such as getting a shipyard built, will prove to be difficult. Dealing with a virgin world where surface life is unlivable, Ferengi looking to reclaim what is "theirs", and the Federation seeing them as a possible disease carrier, this goal may be impossible to reach.

Welcome to where fantasy and sci fi meet.... Here there be Dragons.

Extended Summary

THe concept is actually a spinoff/continuation of the storyline i had been developing over last several years with Valareos.

Specifically,a ship designed around the wyrmdrive technology, built jointly between the Dezeld and the Federation, as a goodwill act in their application for Federation Membership

The story will actually begin revolving around the actual building of the ship in the shipyards of New Drecanis, so to start it will be mostly planetside rpg, designed around training for the unique configuration of the ship.

It is desinged to be to start a casual rp group, a place even to send newer players who need more experiance writing before going to a ship, in an enviroment that is a bit more forgiving.

New Drecanis sits on the Ferengi border, in fact was annexed FROM the ferengi using their own laws combined with federation laws to prove they were there first.

As it is designed to start as mostly rping the building of the ship, there wont be any real set department head positions as what would normally be expected, but i expect things to change as rp goes. I can see though, at start, is a Starfleet presence to oversee the building, which may include different departments also training on the equipment to get ready for flight.

Technology Explained

Wyrmdrive

Dezeld Wyrmdrive A ship utilizing a wyrmdrive effectively would need a drive that is a good portion of the ship itself. Also, to keep from losing ones self in space and time and universe, a tracking system would need to be developed. Such has not been made yet. The following picture is one design currently under development for a Drecanis Class Starship

Holodeck Buffer

A holodeck is able to recreate a representation of real objects, and it does so very well. The Dezeld realized this, and took it to another level of use. A transporter was rewired to send its signal through a transmitter. The reciever was hooked up to a holodeck represtantion of the same transpoter This allowed the "fake" transpoter to recieve signals from the "real" one. When an object, or a person, is transported in this matter, it creates a Very High Definition hologram, though the original body is destroyed.

Reversing the process is a simple matter, as long as your able to inject enough raw material into the buffer stream so the "real" transporter can accurately recreate the object.

A VHD hologram takes up a lot of storage, so the portable holodeck used memory cells made from the same crystals that run the wyrmdrives, allowing storage on a 5 dimentional lattice.
