| What is New Hyperion? New Hyperion (NH) is a region of NationStates. It is an empire built on the principles of Hyperionism, our guiding philosophy. Great! How do I sign up? Hold on there, buddy, you haven't even registered yet! You'll have to scroll up (or just click here) and take care of that first. After that, take a look at those four forums at the top of the list. The Low Orbit Welcome Wagon is where you can apply for Plebeianship and introduce yourself. You can undergo Patricianship if you're interested in leadership. For everything else, go to Imperial Service. What if I'm a diplomat? Go to the Immigration Desk instead, and we'll get you masked. What's the government situation look like? Our region has three main levels of command: the Imperial Council, the Inquisition, and the Hyperion Senate. The Imperial Council (IC) consists of the Autarch, Chancellor, Lord Inquisitor, High Lords, and military command. It assembles when sensitive or secret decisions need to be made. Its members otherwise act separately as department heads and administrators. The Inquisition is the law enforcement of the region. Inquisitors ensure that all members are complying with any requirements currently set in place, and, along with the Lord of Development, also controls admission into the Patrician caste. The Judiciary, our courts system, also exists as part of the Inquisition. The Hyperion Senate consists of all our Patricians, and is the primary body of law and policy. The Senate operates somewhere between a democracy and a mob, and doesn't necessarily need hard votes to get things done. While the IC is technically superior to the Senate, it is more common for the Councillors to participate as Senators. As such, the Hyperion Senate tends to be the most important part of the entire government. Is that it? Of course not, that would be dry and boring. Granted, the Hyperion Senate is about as boring as a discussion on abortion, but you probably don't want to deal with its squabbles and silliness 24/7. That's why we have the Imperial Service and the military. The Imperial Service consists of the various departments, such as Foreign Affairs and Recruitment. All departments are volunteer-only, though enlistment and training in the Hyperian Guard is highly recommended for all members. In general, however, you will be encouraged to join under-staffed departments. Oh yeah, didn't your recruitment telegram mention an RP? Why yes it did! While we allow other RPs, of course, our main RP is the one that sets the standard of our theme and culture. It's kind of complex and involved, but once you get the ball rolling it's about as smooth sailing as any other RP. What if I need help? Pop us a question. Our patience is legendary. You may also check the Great Library of Trantor for answers to some of the more common questions. |

![]() Building buildings here Really, something like this should have been made a while ago as the concept was discussed, but it's better late than never. There seems to be an impression at the moment that new tech being developed by your nation for the RP can be kept secret for sudden deployment in a kind of surprise to fellow players, but this isn't how RP works. Why can't I keep my advances secret? Long story short, you could invent something that completely runs contrary to your actual tech level, or something that just isn't actually possible at all. Yes this is technically FT and you can use your imagination but you can't "discover" a method to use rocks and gravel as fuel and power some kind of rock and gravel super laser for example. People must realise the disconnect between OOC and IC. In the same way that knowledge does not flow between them, you can't just spontaneously invent things in-character without expecting someone to call bullshit on the fact that it came out of nowhere and has no proof that it was fair, possible, or actually in development. So now, how will this work? If you want to introduce new tech (e.g. weaponry), you must present your idea here before development actually begins within the RP. The idea should be explained as fully as possible. To keep this fair, the other players will come to a consensus of whether they feel like this research is actually possible both physically and for the nation in question, and how long it will take from beginning to end in real life time (e.g. you cannot announce development of tech and then introduce it to the RP an hour later). What must also be decided are the effects of the tech in some roughly quantifiable way so there is no spontaneous "I shoot my super laser gun over the sea and it hits your country and everyone dies I win hahahahahahaha" moment. When the players have reached a consensus, the player attempting to create the tech must make a post in the RP indicating that development has actually begun. ![]() |

Relax, I haven't forgotten. At the moment we're trying to bring everything in the RP up to speed and work out kinks with Miri & Tau's project, which was technically brought up before you posted your titan spec (Tau asking how to apply it to the ongoing RP development). ...Which might actually go faster if people did actually post their opinions when I ask for them. |

1. The Nobelium doesn't have any use. Whoops on my part but Tau gets free money from it. 2. The liquid metal will be used for armor. Naturally there will have to be a housing unit for it. I have something for a power armor base, but nothing that is solid yet. I will post here as soon as I have something. 3. The reflector is a fun one. At one point or another, I though I could use lasers for some reason. However, a long range laser is kind of impossible as the Earth is round. But, a laser could be reflected off of a surface to aim and hit its target. Putting a mirror on a geostationary satellite under the guise at satellite maintenance would work perfectly. It would have to be geostationary, not placed on the moon let's say and it would have to be in low earth orbit as well. Now if the death laser doesn't go off well, it still can be used on the satellite for accurate missile targeting. Many missiles these days use lasers to accurately target plots. This just makes it so you don't have to be on the field but rather in an HQ. GPS could work, but GPS can also be manipulated. Lasers, unless you happen to have another high capacity reflector on you, aren't too easy to change. 4. I will address the infrasonic missile part now. The missile was to work much like a very long range cruise missile. The missile would go at a constant velocity (I would say Mach 5-6 as the fastest cruise missile nowdays, the BrahMOS, goes about Mach 3-4) and as it approached its target, it would release an infrasonic wave at a predetermined frequency. With the Doppler affect, as it got closer, the waves and sound would become more intense. Finally, it would hit it's target with a medium size explosive, thus destroying the body. I'm not the biggest fan of the missile. The bomb however, I do like. Dropped from a strategic bomber at 70,000 to 75,000 feet. Anything above that is ludicrous. The bombs would each contain a playload of an explosive and an infrasonic device. As the bombs dropped, at around a mile or two above the earth, the infrasonic device would turn on, and the waves would travel downward. Again, the Doppler affect comes into play. As you get closer to the ground, the sound will intensify until they hit the ground. When they hit, it will go off like a bomb with a decent amount of explosive power. That's about it. Now stop complaining Frosty

I was under the impression that this RP is not based as much on Imperium of Man tech as other RPs. Also, are people fine with the development of orbital bombardment? It shouldn't be too hard to do, even with today's tech. |

Orbital bombardment shouldn't be bad, but remember that these satellites can be shot down and destroyed. Do you wanna invest in a tungsten rod dropper when a missile or laser can destroy it? |

Laurentus. Can you give some more specs on this force field. Seems a bit OP, but I would go with it if you gave some schematics. |

I thought it was made clear that we were using an Imperium of Man tech level. |

Indeed. The most advanced nations are meant to be around Imperium of Man level tech. |
