Thompson&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;amp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joseph G. Thompson&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prolog:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The book starts with an excerpt from Book of the Great Sphere, a widely accepted and quoted history of Terra Prime and constituent plates. This should mention that Terra Prime is a Dysons Sphere created by the Atlantean Time Sorcerers and the Sidairian Cosmic Engineers. In addition, it should mention the great plate of Pangaea and the Rhann family. In addition, we need to introduce the Guild and allude to the conflict that led to its formation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter 1: The Fountain&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The chapter begins with a quote from the Thuvian Chronicles on Prince Toreus II Rhann.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toreus is on a space bus that is taking him to Arcadia. He is dressed in a business suit and wearing a protomask that makes him appear as if he were an older man and not himself. As he sits in the shuttle liner’s couch, he confers with his Guider gem and which briefs on his mission. The shuttle docks at the Fountain Station and Toreus disembarks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toreus is on the space fountain station waiting to enter a jump point down to Arcadia City, capital of the Arcadian Plate. . His father is the Emperor—also named Toreus—of Pangaea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While waiting in the crowded station for his jump point to be available, Toreus sits in a café and sips an Akaia beer (a local brew from the Easternmost province of Arcadia plate.) while looking out a window at Arcadia, which is a typical plate as far as structure goes. He can see the dome that covers the plate and maintains its atmosphere and the city far below. The fountain runs up from the center of the plate to space. Cargo is shuttled up and down the center of the shaft via a magnetic fountain. Elevator cars run along the outside of the fountain. Since they take time, tourists and honeymooners are the only people who use them. Toreus intends to take a jump point—a quantum entanglement transport—that will whisk him quickly to the surface, where his mission will begin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Travelers awaiting their connections crowd the cafe. He spots two hulking Jovians mercenaries and many men and women from various plates, planets and worldlines who are clearly mercenaries bound for Arcadia where they hope to make profits in the civil unrest following the arrest of the popular Baron Nathaniel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A mission to rescue the family of the Baron Nathanial Taylor, a cousin three times removed of Prince Toreus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Accused of treason by the evil King Radu, Prince Nathanial was under arrest. His family, the Baroness Lois and his heirs, Nathan and Leo have gone into hiding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toreus volunteered his services to Imperial Marshal Kothar Khonn, his father’s chief military agent, whose son, Kothar Junior, is running this secret mission to rescue to Baron’s family. Even though Toreus would like nothing better than to bust his way into the Tower of Arcadia City and rescue Nathaniel, the mission calls for him to secure the two baronets and the Baroness only. Even though his father is the emperor, he must keep his involvement in this action secret from Chancellor XXXXXX, who opposes Pangaean involvement in all military adventures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Cold Plasma Shield in forearm guards shields Toreus. His only offensive armaments are a Short fighting knife and a small pistol. He will get the rest of his gear—including Shakorja, his lion and Ulysses, his falcon, when he reaches the ground. The Pangaean Secret Service has sent them ahead in a pre-positioning module.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He steps into what looks like an elevator and whisks to the surface where he emerges in what seems like a riot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter 2: The Imperial Court&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the capitol city of the Pangean Empire, XXXXXX, the Emperor Toreus holds court.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He sits on the throne in the huge courtroom. By his side is the Chancellor. People with business line up to present petitions to the Emperor or have their petitions read by lawyers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Emperor tries to concentrate on the mostly ceremonial business but his mind is far away on the events in Arcadia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eventually the court adjourns and the Emperor leaves to meet his Kotharr Khonn,Senior-who was also General Kothar Khonn,the Third-son of Kotharr Khonn,the First his chief military agent.Like his father before him,Kotharr Khonn was an allie and best freind tothe First Son of Thuvia.Kotharr Khonn,the Eldest was Old King Ulyseas Rhann's militatry cheif agent.They had help carve an empire,by helping win the Second Pangean World Wars,as did Ulyseas Rhann's father King Odyseus Rhann did in the First Pangean World Wars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the Emperor Toreus Rhann leaves the Court the Chancellor tries to button  hole him and discuss the bill that he plans to put before the House of Princes--One of the two houses of the Pangean Parliament-- to prevent the use of Pangaean military forces off-plate for any operation that is not directly involved in the defense of the realm. The Emperor rudely tries to put him off because he is in a hurry to discuss his illegal operation in Arcadia with Kothar Khonn II. he tells the Chancellor that he will discuss the bill with him at the earliest opportunity but does not tell him that he intends to veto any such bill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Emperor Toreus enters the War Room where Imperial Marshal Kotharr Khonn awaits him. With him are David Greystone-descendant to the legendary original General David Greystone-who fought in the Great Trongaroth Wars many centuries ago, the head of the Pangaean Secret Service and XXXXXX, the head of the Imperial Security Service as well as General XXXXX, the Chief of Pangaean Special Forces—himself a Thuvian Ranger—and Arenjun Sarkhon, the Ronin Time Sorcerer.The ancient temporal wizard was holding his Burmeses Atlantean Cat-Hecate in his arms-a Time Sorcerers familar -guide and spy,to help on their many missions through time and space.Sitting next the Emperor's seat,was his lovely wife the Empress Cassandra Rhann-not only his love,the mother of his four children,two sons Prince Toreus and Theaseus Rhann,plus the two daughter Princess Andromida and Castria Rhann.This is the Emperor’s Privy Council, the closest advisors to the ruler of Pangaea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kothar calls on the Secret Service chief to brief the Emperor on the operation’s progress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here there is an account of the events leading up to the arrest of Baron Nathanial Taylor and the Emperor’s decision to send in Special Forces to intervene.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Emperor is concerned that his son Toreus has volunteered to participate in the action and he is not pleased. Kothar tires to assuage his anger and assure the Emperor that everything will be okay—even though Kothar himself is not sure of this. His own son convinced him that it would be all right. However, Kothar feels that the young Prince is too reckless and inexperienced for the subtleties of covert operations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nonetheless, the elder Toreus has strong misgivings about his son’s direct involvement in the covert action to rescue the Taylor family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite his reservations, the Emperor signs off on the continuation of the mission. He feels that he can do nothing less due to his debt of honor to the Taylor clan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;****&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter 3: Unrest&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toreus is in the middle of a riot that began when Arcadian Police—mostly Kai’Vhan Mercenaries utilized force to break up a student demonstration at the Fountain Station. Toreus fights his way free of the crowd using his wrist shields. He focuses his violence on the cops preferring to avoid any injury to the civilians.          Near the edge of the riot, a cab pulls up to him and opens its door. It is driven by XXXXX Vincenzo, part of the Vincenzo family who work as special operatives for the Sarkhon family of Atlantean Time Sorcerers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toreus rushes to the open cab door and jumps in. as they race away Vincenzo introduces himself to Toreus. Kothar Khonn sent him to watch out for him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;****&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter 4: Shakorja and Ulysses&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vincenzo drops Toreus off at a cargo depot not far from the space fountain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Prince enters the depot using a passcard and goes to a cargo module whose number he has memorized earlier. Using another passcard, he enters the module. Inside is a Mobile Special Forces center of the Pangaean Special Forces. Here there are weapons, small vehicles and a communications center. In addition, there is a stasis chamber containing a Thuvian saber cat and a Highlands Hawk. The saber cat is Shakorja and the hawk is Ulysses—friends of Toreus and key parts of his combat ensemble.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toreus sends a confirmation message to the Mission Support Site aboard an orbiting spacecraft. The MSS acknowledges the message.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toreus free the cat and bird from the stasis field. He greets both of them. The animals are augmented and are able to talk to Toreus via his Guider Gem—a device that links into the semi-mystic realm of holo-space which will fulfill a heavy role in our stories.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toreus feeds himself and the animals. Shakorja complains about the canned rations since he prefers raw meat in his diet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the meal, Toreus suits up for his mission.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;****&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter 5: Scarlet Shadow&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Mission Support Site is located aboard the starship Scarlet Shadow. The Shadow belongs to Thuvian Ranger Captain Colin O’Brien and his wife, Rachel.  She is the ship's captain. The Shadow is in stationary orbit high above the Arcadia Plate. Rachel O’Brien receives the message from Toreus and forwards it to her husband Colin, who is already on the plate with his Special Ops team.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The couple has a bickering but loving relationship not unlike that of the Cramdens in the old Honeymooners series. Colin tends to be a little more reckless and a braggart. He has never met Prince Toreus though they both have served in the renowned Thuvian Rangers. Colin has certain misconceptions about the Prince, however.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rachel informs her husband that Toreus heads for the meeting and that Colin and his Commandoes should be ready to help if needed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;****&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter 6: Recon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toreus rides his spike (smart bike) to an alley not far from the meeting bar. The bar, called Makean’s Den, is one of the few places open during the curfew imposed by the government because it is a Fountain port watering hole for mercenaries, bounty hunters, privateers and spacer gangs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Prince dispatches Ulysses to scout from the air and sees that there are at least two vehicles that may be police surveillance units. Otherwise, there seems to be no signs of trouble. He instructs the hawk to continue surveillance and warn him of any changes via the Guider link.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He instructs the cat to watch from the alley’s street end and processed to the bar using a holo-cloak to disguise his military gear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;****&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter 7: The Den&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toreus enters the Den and looks around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The joint is crowded with people, mostly bounty hunters here to collect the bounty on the Taylor family. At the bar, he spies two Jovians—big, hulking characters. These he recognizes as the hired bodyguards of Colonel Kothar Khonn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In one corner of the room there are a group of Thulians—Neanderthals from a continent on the Pangaen Plate. Two of them are playing a game of choke. Two Thulians grasp each other’s necks and squeeze until one passes out. The others take bets on who will pass out first. Toreus frowns on the game considering it something that only morons do for entertainment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His eyes scan past a group of spacers at on table and he catches the eye of a red haired, green-eyed female warrior. He smiles at her and she returns the smile, quickly averting her gaze. Toreus reminds himself that he is not here for romantic entanglements and conies to scan fro his contact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the far corner, he sees Kothar at a table with some other men.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toreus heads for the table. Kothar looks up and nods to him, not wanting to address him by name. The Thuvian Prince sits down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kothar introduced the other man at the table. He is Joss Carpenter, the heads of House Taylor Security bearing the ancient title of Master of Assassins. Toreus is concerned that they are in the same place as Carpenter. The police want the MoA. Joss assures him that his contacts in the police will inform them of any possible raid. Toreus is not convinced.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kothar and Joss inform him of the mission goals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Baron Nathaniel, held in the Royal Prison at the edge of town, cannot be freed without a large military operation. The Baron’s family is in hiding in a temple to the anti-spin ward side of town. This consists of the Baroness Lois Chandler Taylor and her two sons, Nathan, 14 and Lemonades (Leo) aged 10. They are the heirs to the family titles and it is their father’s wishes that they be taken out of Arcadia and into hiding. That way if Nathaniel is killed the Taylor family will not be wiped out and the sons and wife will be able to carry on the mission of freeing their homeland from the grasp of the evil King Radu Wallace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toreus’ job will be to retrieve the family and get them out of Arcadia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They discuss details of the mission.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is at this point that Ulysses and Shakorja inform Toreus that there are Kai’Vhan police assembling outside the bar. Toreus receives a hawk eye view of the mercenary cops. It is clear that they are planning to raid the mercenary bar and that there could be only one reason for that. They want to get their hands on the conspirators.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toreus starts a fight with the Thulian chokers in order to cause a diversion. The diversion blooms into a full-scale bar riot as the police storm in the door.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kothar and Joss dodge out a side door and are stopped by police blocking that exit. Vincenzo tosses a stun bomb at the cops and the two officers escape in Vincenzo’s car.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toreus shield battles the Kai’Vhan. However, he is cut off from any exit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter 8: Escape&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The red headed female warrior, whose name is Antila Sojat, taps Toreus on the shoulder and leads him to a secret exit. The exit leads down to the underground of the plate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Among the fleeing people are the two Jovians, some mercenaries and spacers and one of the Thulians—Paulo Torsi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toreus tries to find out Antila’s name but she is unwilling to tell him. They will meet again and eventually become lovers but for now she thinks that he is just a common warriors looking to get lucky and she’s not having nay of that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Antila separates from Toreus, the Jovians and Paulo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter 9: Escape&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toreus and his companions wander through the Arcadian Underground, the upper infrastructure of the plate on which Arcadia is built. The Trongoroth and Plate Dwellers should be referred to here though a more detailed explanation of them will follow in the Chapter entitled Underworld (Chapter 19).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Prince tries to put the images of the woman out of his mind, realizing that they will only distract him from the mission ahead. He also tries to ignore the annoying attentions of Paulo, who has a man crush on him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He decides that he needs the help of Shakorja and contacts the beast via his Guider. The Guider calls up an ancient map of Arcadia City’s underground and the Prince instructs the cat to wait fro him at a nearby entrance. Toreus and his companions move off in that direction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter 10: Radu&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;King Radu Wallace of Arcadia is in his private office chamber with some of his henchmen. They are a motley crew.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Among them are his nephews Duke James Wallace (a tall thin, quiet man who carries a Tionka—a type of ape-like alien pet that produces an addictive venom.) and Prince Wesley Wallace (who wears his blond hair in dreadlocks, a style he learned on the far off Arcadian colony of Earth 3261. He is the heir designate to the throne because of the elder James’ lack of authority and courage). Also there are Sir Marc Hadron Phasier (a virt addict who wears a virt helmet that paints a virtual world of his own liking around him), Sir Leslie Tolbert (a loud mouthed moron and child molester.) and the James Irby, the Earl of Saratoga (who originated from Earth 3261 and is renowned for his meanness and sadism in dealing with the enemies of the Wallaces. He is the House Wallace Master of Assassins).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saratoga outlines all of his forces efforts, so far, in the search fro the Taylor family. He has place a guard force on all exits from Arcadia and has put the Arcadian Army and Space Navy on alert to back up the Kai’Vhan mercenaries if the need arises.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Radu is concerned about the lack of progress in the search for the Taylor family. He does not feel that he can complete his bid to take over complete control of Arcadia until this rebel family is in prison of killed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is also concerned about the ultimatum that he has sent to the Emperor of Pangaea warning the Pangaea not too interfere in internal affairs of Arcadia. From long experience, he knows that the Emperor holds him in low contempt and it is only by the intercession of the Chancellor that he has managed to keep Pangaean troops off his front doorstep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As is his habit Radu takes his worries out on his subordinates, all of whom are inveterate cowards and ring kissers. Radu demands that they increase their efforts to locate and arrest the Taylor family and that the guards on all exits from Arcadia are doubled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter 11: Alley Fighting&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now emerged from the underground Toreus makes his way down an alley headed toward where Shakorja awaits him with his spike. He has Ulysses scanning above and it appears as if the coast is clear. However, his combat honed senses nag him that this might not be so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kai’Vhan mercs with stealth costumes jump him. Toreus and the Saber cat go into battle mode, the Prince firing up his shield and drawing his knife. The big cat does not unnerve or frighten the drugged up cyborg Kai’Vhan. The animal’s claws claim several victims. Toreus fights the Vhan troops and breaks free to mount his spike.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter 12: Colin&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before Toreus can exit the alley on his spike, he finds his way blocked by armed humans also riding spikes. He draws to a stop but the new soldiers raise their weapons and fire at the Vhan that are chasing the Prince.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These soldiers are the Rangers of Colin O’Brien’s team. They have raced to aid Toreus. Together they escape the Vhan ambush and head off to a rendezvous point under an overpass in the city.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter 13: The Taylors&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Duchess Lois Taylor and her two sons, Nathan and Leo, are hiding in a temple of the Arcadian Universal Church. With them is Father Philip Cho, the pastor of the church and an old friend of Duke Nathaniel Taylor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Father Phil is concerned with the constant police canvassing of the neighborhood around the church.  The long-standing custom of Church as Sanctuary in Arcadia will soon be broken by the eager off-worlders that King Radu has hired to supplement his police force. Already the police have placed a sniper lookout in the church tower.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The family is concealed in a hideaway in the basement of the church. There Lois prepares herself to fight off any incursions, as she is a Sister of the Holy Magdalene and a skilled hand-to-hand fighter. She trains her son Nathan in combat as a supplement to his hyper-mentation training. Young Leo watches the sparring with his robo-bear, Tim. Most well to do Arcadian children have such bears that serve as both governess and bodyguard. Tim, however, is no ordinary robo. He has been augmented with Atlantean and Mechan devices by Leo’s father, Nathaniel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter 14: The Garage&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toreus, Colin’s crew, Kothar and Joss gather in an old garage that has been turned into a mission hide site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toreus sends Ulysses to scout the area around the temple from the air. They spot the sniper nest in the bell tower and realize that it can watch all the approaches to the temple and kill anyone approaching.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Prince has Ulysses scout out an approach to the temple that will give them the most cover from the sniper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The team assembles and moves off toward their target mounted on spikes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter 15: Assault&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toreus, Colin and members of the team move through the alleys toward the church. Along the way, they take out Kai'Vhan police officers and enter the church.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toreus moves up the tower to the balcony and dispatches the sniper and his scout with his bare hands. Then he rejoins Colin on the ground floor and together they move toward the Taylors’ hide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toreus enters the hide and is jumped…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is Lois who has attacked the Prince. She battles him using techniques of hand-to-hand favored by her sisterhood. She moves too fast for even the hulking prince to get a blow in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toreus activates his shields and throws her off. It is then that father Phil enters and recognizes the Prince, introducing him to the Duchess and her two sons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toreus contacts Colin’s Rangers and they knock out the power, plunging the neighborhood into darkness. It is then that the Rangers and their charges leave the church and board the vehicles that are now waiting in front of the church.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Father Phil waves good-bye to the Duchess and her sons as they move away into the night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter 16: The Bridge&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The team comes to a bridge that leads across the Arcadopolis River to the part of town from which the Space Fountain arises. They discover that the bridge is heavily guarded by units of the Arcadian Army and is mined. Apparently, the entire town has been alerted and heavy military and police units are surrounding the approach to the Fountain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toreus and Colin must decide whether to fight their way through or find another route out of Arcadia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They decided that they must get to the space fountain and that the bridge is the only way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They decide that half the team will cross the river on hover-mode positioning themselves behind the guard to draw their fire. The rest will cross the bridge under that cover. The family will be with this element.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second section attacks the rear of the Arcadian unit guarding the bridge. Toreus, the Taylors and the first section charge across. They receive heavy fire. Toreus’ spike is hit and crippled. He abandons the vehicle and retrieves its AI brain, the only part of the vehicle that is irreplaceable. He jumps astride Colin’s spike and they charge forward to the other side of the bridge where the second section has already killed off most of the Arcadian troops.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two sections regroup and head off toward the Fountain before the enemy can regroup.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter 17: The Prisoner&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marc Hadron Phasier goes to visit the imprisoned Duke Nathaniel to taunt him about his wife and children. The Duke refuses to let the little man get his goat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While Phasier is visiting the prisoner, the news that the family has been sighted in the city reaches him. He rushes away leaving the Duke with a little smile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter 18: No Easy Way Out&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The team funds their way to the Fountain blocked by heavy military and police units. There is no easy way off the Arcadia plate. They hide in a storm drain and discuss alternative plans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They decide that taking the underground might be the best choice and strike off toward the Fountain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter 19: The Underworld&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toreus and the team move through the underground labyrinth under Arcadopolis. Much of the complex has been abandoned since the long ago war with the Trongoroth—an insect like alien invader that once infests Terra Prime. The lower levels of the underground—those closest to space—still show unprepared signs of the devastation in places. There are rumors—perhaps urban legends—that Trongoroth have been seen in the lower levels of the Sphere. There is even a plate that is totally a Trongoroth eco-system. Terra Prime is a work in progress and is yet unfinished since the Sidairian builders have refused to do so under the Guild Treaty that they do not aggress with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also living in the underground are the Plate Dwellers, a species of humanoids, cultured by the Trongoroth genetic engineers, who live and work in the underground and maintain the systems of the Sphere in the absence of the Sidairian builders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Colin suggests that they might go down to the outer shell of the plate and wait there for the Scarlet Shadow to pick them up. Toreus points out that it will take too long for the starship to make its way from the inner side of the plate to the outer. Their enemies might find them long before that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is then that they encounter a group of plate dwellers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter 20: Master of Assassins&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joss Carpenter is at one of his safe houses. He is concerned with the whereabouts of the rescue mission. Kothar has returned to the mission support site on a neighboring plate. Joss is still in touch with him via the grimoire—the holo-space unit that Carpenter possesses and holds in trust for the Taylor family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Carpenter checks with, Niel, the codename for an informant that he has cultivated in the Arcadian Federal Police. He tells Joss that the fugitives are thought to have entered the underground. Carpenter gets in touch with his friends among the plate dwellers and has XXXX Vincenzo, take him to a meeting with them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter 21: Plate Dwellers&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toreus and h is team run into a group of plate dwellers. The Plate Dwellers are humanoid beings whose genome has been altered by the Trongoroth. The live in the underground of all the plate of Terra Prime and perform maintenance tasks that the Sidairian refuse to do in light of the Guild Treaty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The PDs take the group to one of their dwellings and feed them. The main stay of PD food is based heavily on mushrooms and other fungoids that are grown in the Underground. The plate dweller leader, XXXX, informs them that his people are in contact with Lord Carpenter and that he is on his way to help them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter 22: The Genesis Bunker&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joss Carpenter enters the underground near the center of Arcadopolis, in a place that known as the location of the ancient Atlantean Genesis Bunker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The GB is an ancient installation and there is at least one on every plate of Terra Prime. It is unlocked by a key that is entrusted only to Atlantean Time Sorcerers and their familiars. The Bunker is a repository of vital knowledge and machinery in case of a catastrophe and contains access to World Wells that allow the Sorcerers to access their network of wormholes directly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once Carpenter is underground, he sees that the GB has been opened and that trucks loaded with Kai’Vhan are coming through from one of the other Earths. It is clear that the Kai’Vhan mercenaries have hijacked the Genesis Bunker and are suing the World Well to send their troops into Arcadia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Carpenter heads off to find Toreus and the Taylor family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter 23: Intervention&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Emperor Toreus meets with his Privy Council again. He is concerned with the developments in Arcadia that have been reported to him by the agents of his personal intelligence service—the Talon. Things are not getting nay better and the policies of his plate that tie his hands are not helping.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He assigns Kothar Khonn to do something about the situation behind the Chancellor’s back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter 24: The Underground War&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joss Carpenter and Toreus have joined forces. They have decided to go to the Genesis Bunker and with the help of armed Plate Dwellers take it away from the Kai’Vhan. Joss also believes that he can use the Well of Worlds to help the Taylor family escape to a worldline of sanctuary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Colin is not so sure of the situation. The Plate Dwellers are not professional soldiers and the Kai’Vhan are nothing but. He would much rather move up to the base of the Fountain and try to fight their way up to the station.  Colin points out that the Fountain is 10,000 kilometers long and that they might have to fight every meter of its length. Colin finally agrees that the Bunker is a better choice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter 25: Dark Knights&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kothar Khonn Jr. and his commandoes prepare to raid the prison and rescue Duke Nathanial. With them is Arenjun Sarkhon. They are headed toward the prison in an airship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of the troops aboard are from the Thuvian Rangers Dark Knights Commando Group. All are highly trained Special Forces operatives. With them is Arenjun Sarkhon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The plan involves Imperial intelligence agents disrupting the power of the area around the prison as the Commandoes move in and head for the Duke’s cell, neutralizing all resistance that they encounter. Timing will be important. They want to get in and out as quickly as possible and get the airship—that is holographically disguised as a cloud—away as quickly as possible. Once it is clear of Arcadopolis airspace, it will uncloak and will—disguised as a commercial airship—head for a jump gate on the edge of the Arcadia plate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kothar Khonn Jr. is concerned that if this mission goes awry then he will be responsible for defaming the Emperor and starting a war between Arcadia and Pangaea. He discusses his concerns with Arenjun Sarkhon, who is with him in the airship and will participate in the raid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arenjun  knows that the Chancellor will use an elicit military action on the part of the Emperor as an excuse to make the role of the throne in ruling Pangaea smaller and increase the power of the Parliament. Not that that, in his estimation, would be a bad thing but not in the hands of the current Chancellor XXXXX and his ilk. Arenjun sees himself as the lone protector of Terra Prime from the Guild and its allies. He knows that the Chancellor is a stanch supporter of the Guild and a good friend of the current Guild President XXXX Satanis.  He does not trust the Guild for this reason, among many others, and does not wish to be responsible for turning the Empire over to their hands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He says a prayer to the Gods and prepares himself for the coming action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter 26: Armageddon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Plate Dwellers explode a mine under a Kai’Vhan convoy in a tunnel that leads away from the Genesis Bunker. The little people attack the vehicles and a furious firefight ensues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toreus and his commandoes assault the open bunker and mange to kill the guards. Once inside they close the door trapping them in the Bunker and keeping the Vhan on the outside.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lord Tolbert is inside and he makes an attempt on the life of Lady Lois. She turns his attack aside and Toreus breaks the man’s neck with his bare ands. Tolbert craps himself as he falls dead to the floor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kothar’s force hits the prison.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They fight their way to the Duke’s cell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arenjun’s detachment makes its way down into the bowls of the prison freeing inmates and fomenting a riot. They will continue down and exfiltrate via the underground where they will make their way to the outer skin of the plate. There they will be picked up by a starship that is owned by a privateer mate of Arenjun’s—Carter Tauran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the Dark Knights enter the VIP ward where Duke Nathaniel is held Lord Saratoga flees and Kothar gets into a fight with Phasier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Dark Knights evacuate the Duke to the roof and into the waiting airship. Kothar is separated from his force as he combats Phasier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kothar manages to kill Phasier and then follows his troops to the roof. When he arrives, the airship is gone and Wallace troops close in on him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toreus, Joss and the Taylors are trapped inside the Bunker. The Wallaces are trying to cut their way in using graser cannon. However, the ancient Atlantean material with which the bunker is made soaks up the energy and drains it off into the GB’s power system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toreus has taken the Key sword from Lord Tolbert and he uses it to open a time space portal in the Well of Worlds. Joss and the Taylors will use it to escape to one of the alternate Earths where they can go into hiding amongst its population of humans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joss urges Toreus to come with them. However, the Prince refuses. He cannot abandon Terra Prime while there is work to be done. He and Shakorja will stay behind in the bunker and try to find another way out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter 27: The Long Future&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kothar is lifted off the roof by a spider line from the airship. Arcadian troops fire at the ship and are mowed down by the gunners on board the ship. As the airship withdraws Arcadian robot fighters pursue them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The captain of the airship throws a jump point in front of the ship and it heads through it to another plate—a friendly plate. The hole closes before the enemy can pursue them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arenjun and his crew have made it to the skin and use jump points to board Carter Tauran's ship. They head away for the Time Sorcerer’s Space Castle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Colin and his men make it to the top of the fountain and board the Shadow. As his ship casts off Colin wonders how his friend Toreus is doing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The airship arrives at a camp in Jurassica. There Kothar is greeted by his father who has flown there to prepare an Arcadian Resistance base that will be turned over to the command of Duke Nathaniel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Duke takes command of the Arcadian Rebel Alliance. He looks forward to a future in which Arcadia is free and he can be reunited with his family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toreus and Shakorja are alone in the cavern of the Genesis Bunker. The Prince thinks back on his adventures in the last few days and considers taking the Well as a means of escape.

During the, his military sense of honor made him fight nearly to death against.&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The Jovian Primitives were a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery" title="Slavery"&gt;slave&lt;/a&gt; race created by the Tarrant Corporation, an advanced offshoot of humanity. are virtually identical to an adult human, but have superior strength, agility, and variable intelligence depending on the model Because of the Jovians low population, they created a labor force of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hominid" title="Hominid"&gt;hominids&lt;/a&gt; bred to be strong, but of limited intelligence. This changed in time, because the need for self-sufficient combat model for the colonization defense programon off worlds. The Alpha Omega Supersoldier that operates beyond normal human limits or abilities, had limits, that the Jovian Primitive didn’t. They were also rendered able to breed, because the cloning process proved create a lesser breed produced by this method's. .They are all five foot seven inches tall, have green eyes and hairless bodies. They are slightly superior in strength to the average human being, being able to lift (press) approximately 1000 pounds under optimal conditions. They work eighteen hours a day, and sleep the other six. These Jovian Primitives Mark II, were physical structure was modified to make them stronger and to give him greater stamina than a regular human. Their mind was also enhanced, also to think in combat situations, as was their special training. The First of these was Adam Rockaway-great grandfather to Joshua Rockaway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: medium;"&gt;==Jovian Slave Time==&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Slavery is a form of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced_labor" title="Forced labor"&gt;forced labor&lt;/a&gt; in which people are considered to be the property of others. Slaves can be held against their will from the time of their capture, purchase or birth, and deprived of the right to leave, to refuse to work, or to receive &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remuneration" title="Remuneration"&gt;compensation&lt;/a&gt; (such as &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wages" title="Wages"&gt;wages&lt;/a&gt;). Evidence of slavery predates written records, and has existed to varying extents, forms and periods in almost all &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture" title="Culture"&gt;cultures&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continent" title="Continent"&gt;continents&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;sup id="cite_ref-Slavery_0-0"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery#cite_note-Slavery-0"&gt;[1]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; In some societies, slavery existed as a legal institution or socio-economic system, but today it is formally outlawed in nearly all countries and condemned by the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Declaration_of_Human_Rights" title="Universal Declaration of Human Rights"&gt;Universal Declaration of Human Rights&lt;/a&gt;. Nevertheless, the practice continues in various forms around the world. Since &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Original Jovian Primates were considered” subhuman" was the only loophole in the then accepted law that "men are created equal" that would allow for the sustenance of the natural slaves because they had no souls. Historically, when an adversary is identified as "other" based on notions of race or ethnicity (particularly when "other" is construed to mean "inferior"), the means employed by the self-presumed "superior" party to appropriate territory, human chattel, or material wealth often have been more ruthless, more brutal, and less constrained by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morality" title="Morality"&gt;moral&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethics" title="Ethics"&gt;ethical&lt;/a&gt; considerations. In practice, indentured servitude could be like slavery and was often a violent system; some Jovian Primitives and Jovian (&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felony" title="Felony"&gt;felons&lt;/a&gt; and those who were &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidnapping" title="Kidnapping"&gt;kidnapped&lt;/a&gt;) were compelled to become indentured servants, and in the early 21st century, many indentured servants did not live long enough to be freed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;are either good or evil, there is no sense of moral relativity. A sense of honor transcends race or political affiliation and characters fight alongside one another and against their adversaries because it is the right thing to do. Qualities of compassion, loyalty and bravery are celebrated, and callousness, deception, and cowardice are frowned upon.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Typically the novels include descriptions of aspects of the Jovian world such as the architecture, and the presence of desolate landscapes punctuated by abandoned cities - whose histories are often elaborated upon, technological achievements, advanced medicine, cultural elements such as superstitious religious practices and eating habits, breeding practices and methods of population control. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Many lost cities and civilizations, and journeys into forgotten underworlds appear across the series and the environment beyond the cities is populated by a variety of ferocious beasts, many roughly equivalent with Earth creatures, and most with multiple sets of limbs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;==Peoples and culture==&lt;br /&gt;All Jovian races resemble [[human|Homo sapient]] in most respects, except for being&amp;nbsp; and having lifespan in excess of&amp;nbsp; over 100 years unless killed through violent means. The traditional Jovian Warriors Right of Passage somewhere beyond 20 Years is based on the customary pilgrimage down the Jarrarah River, in the Darsus Valley, which is taken by virtually all Jovians by that age, or those who feel tired of their long lives and expect to find some sort of heroes Right of Passage at the end of their heroes journey. Many are called but few return from this pilgrimage, because it leads to almost certain death at the hands of ferocious creatures. Jovians pride themselves on their &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attractiveness" title="Attractiveness"&gt;attractiveness&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_strength" title="Physical strength"&gt;strength&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cunning" title="wiktionary:cunning"&gt;cunning&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treachery" title="Treachery"&gt;treachery&lt;/a&gt;; tirelessly working to improve themselves and, through planned reproduction, their offspring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;The Jovian females are having mammalian characteristics such as a navel and breasts. While they have skins of various colors, and their bodies differ in some cases from traditional humans, they are very similar to varieties of Earth humans, and there is little examination of how their extraterrestrial biology might make them unusual or particularly distinct from terrestrial humans. &amp;nbsp;There is only one spoken language across the entire planet, but a variety of writing systems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All Jovians are super strong, among one another, and also with domestic animals. Other abilities are demonstrated across. The Larthonians in ', are able to project images of warfare that can kill by suggestion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trade and cultural relations in Jovians, as presented in ' nations are described as being bellicose and self sufficient, but in ' inter-city state merchants are mentioned, and in '''', towering staging posts for inter-city liners are also described&lt;br /&gt;Most of the cultures are dynasties or theocracies. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;The Jovian Warrior Class A Jovian Gladiator was an armed combatant who entertained audiences in the &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jovian&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;Republic&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt; and Jovian Empire in violent confrontations with other gladiators, wild animals, and condemned criminals. Some gladiators were volunteers who risked their legal and social standing and their lives by appearing in the arena. Most were despised as slaves, schooled under harsh conditions, socially marginalized, and segregated even in death. Irrespective of their origin, gladiators offered audiences an example of Jovian's martial ethics and, in fighting or dying well; they could inspire admiration and popular acclaim. They were celebrated in high and low art, and their value as entertainers was commemorated in precious and commonplace objects throughout the Jovian world. It was a test of strength. which the Jovians prized and honored for thousands of generation since the Ancient Slave Times aboard the Jovian Mining Ships. There, within the darkened Jovian Slave Pens-huge cargo holds, converted to a sprawl of cheep housing sections and cabins, Jovian male and females competed against one another in huge, make shift arenas. Some the Jovian Ship commanders allowed the training and fighting of Jovian Slave, having seen the Gladiator games and enjoyed them immensely and began to bet on the winner of the combat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;==The &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Jovian &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Gladiators==&lt;br /&gt;The trade in gladiators was Empire-wide, and subjected to strict official control. Jovian&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;'s military success produced an influx of soldier-prisoners who were redistributed for use in State mines or amphitheatres and for sale on the open market. For those who were poor or non-citizens, the gladiator schools offered a trade, regular food, housing of sorts and a fighting chance of fame and fortune. Gladiators customarily kept their prize money and any gifts they received. Only slaves found guilty of specific offences could be sentenced to the arena. Citizens were legally exempt from this sentence but could be stripped of citizenship and formally declared slaves. Freedmen or freedwomen could be legally reverted to slavery. Some Gladiators could win freedom and use this status to move up the Jovian Class ladder, if strong enough toward the Jovian Council and Jovian Emperors position.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;===Peak===&lt;br /&gt;By the closing years of the politically and socially unstable Late Jovian Republic, gladiator games provided their sponsors with extravagantly expensive but effective opportunities for self-promotion while offering cheap, exciting entertainment to their clients&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;!

Skin color became the basis for destination of class or status by various &lt;span style="background-image: none; background-repeat: repeat; color: black;"&gt;skin&lt;/span&gt; colors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because so little is mentioned about combat skins, there is much speculation about exactly what the combat &lt;span style="background-image: none; background-repeat: repeat; color: black;"&gt;skin&lt;/span&gt; rating indicates. The obvious interpretation is that the combat &lt;span style="background-image: none; background-repeat: repeat; color: black;"&gt;skin&lt;/span&gt; ranking  measures raw power, and that a &lt;span style="background-image: none; background-repeat: repeat; color: black;"&gt;systemclass&lt;/span&gt; 12 combat &lt;span style="background-image: none; background-repeat: repeat; color: black;"&gt;skin&lt;/span&gt; is 10 ranks higher in protection and power than a &lt;span style="background-image: none; background-repeat: repeat; color: black;"&gt;class&lt;/span&gt; 2&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="11" width="15" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/John-117" title="John-117"&gt;Master Chief&lt;/a&gt; his armor, a "Combat &lt;span style="background-image: none; background-repeat: repeat; color: black;"&gt;Skin&lt;/span&gt;", is insufficient to combat the enemy forces.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Combat &lt;span style="background-image: none; background-repeat: repeat; color: black;"&gt;Skin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt; is an ancient Delkhon term relating to body armor.

They are organized into a system of imperial city-states including Jarainia, Pahtarth and Zodangarr, controlling the plate canal system, trade system, sub shuttle transit system as well as other, more isolated city-states in the hinterlands. The Red Jovian Primitive are the interbred descendants of the ancient [[Yellow Jovians]], [[White Jovians]], and [[Black Jovians]], remnants of which exist in isolated areas of the planet, particularly the poles. The Red Jovian Primitive are said '' to have been bred when the seas of&amp;nbsp; began to dry up, in hopes of creating a hardy race to survive in the new environment first &lt;br /&gt;The Red Jovian Primitive are highly civilized, respect the idea of private property, adhere to a code of honor and have a strong sense of fairness. Their culture is governed by law and is advanced technologically. They are capable of love and have families. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;===Green Jovians ===&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Green Jovians, the Brutal Nomadic Warriors are between ten and twelve feet in height, have massive arms and glowing green eyes&amp;nbsp; They are nomadic, warlike and barbaric, do not form families, have little concept of friendship or love and enjoy inflicting torture upon their victims. Their social structure is highly communal - they have no concept of private property - and is rigidly hierarchical, consisting of various levels of chiefs, with the highest office occupied by an all powerful Jhark. However, the title of Jhark is obtained by mortal combat, rather than hereditary means. They form tribes, which war among one another constantly. They ride aggressive animals, Warthoats-a kind of big pig like dog, and armed themselves with swords, lances and firearms which use ' ammunition. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Green Jovians are primitive, intellectually unadvanced, do not have any kind of art and are without a written language. While they craft weapons, any advanced technology they possess, such as 'radium pistols', is stolen from raids upon the Red Jovians. They inhabit the ancient ruined cities left behind by civilizations which lived in various regions of the Jovian world during a more advanced and hospitable era in the planet's history.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; They apparently arose from a biological experimental which went awry and as with all other Jovians, mainly Blue Skinned Jovian Primitives and Yellow Skinned Jovians. [[ Tarkas Morghann]], who befriends&amp;nbsp; when he first arrives on Jovanna, is an unusual exception from the typical ruthless Green&amp;nbsp; Jovians, due to having known the love of his own mate and daughter. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Terra-Prime, the Green Jovians are often referred to by the names of their hordes, which in turn take their names from the dead cities which they inhabit. Thus the Tars Tarkas, based in the ruined ancient city of Tharkhana, are known as "Tharkhus". Other hordes bear the names of Warhark, Torkhundah and Thurr-Rhack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;===Yellow Jovians (Okhonians) ===&lt;br /&gt;Yellow Jovians are the Jovian scientist,philosophers.bureaucrats,teachers&amp;nbsp; they are found hiding in secret domed cities at the Northeastern Far Continent of&amp;nbsp; region of the Jovian World.

There are only 1000 of them remaining, all of them male. They are skilled in telepathy, able to project images that can kill, or provide sustenance.

This is the destination of the River , on whose currents most Jovians eventually travel, on a pilgrimage seeking final paradise, once tired of life or reaching 1000 years of age. The valley is actually populated by monsters, overlooked by the Tharns, who control these creatures, and ransack, and eat the flesh of those who perish, enslaving those who survive. They consider themselves a unique creation, different from other Jovian Primitives. They maintain an ancient Jovian religion through a network or collaborators and spies across the planet.

They call themselves the 'First Born', believing themselves to be a unique creation among Jovian Primitive races, and worship Arhasis Khalee, a woman who was an important Jovian Warrior and reformer of slave rights, who became a hologod.

By 1922, the British Empire held sway over a population of about 458 million people, one-quarter of the world's population,and covered more than 13,000,000 square miles (33,670,000 km&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;): approximately a quarter of the Earth's total land area.As a result, its &lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Law" title="Common Law"&gt;political&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Language" title="English Language"&gt;linguistic&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_culture" title="British culture"&gt;cultural&lt;/a&gt; legacy is widespread.

Elloe was the only one of the &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Joshua Rockaway&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;'s group who joined, and the Insurgency was quickly detained. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Joshua Rockaway&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt; and his gladiators were sent to the Imperial Arena, where they had to survive three rounds in the ring. In the first round, the&amp;nbsp; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Joshua Rockaway &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;prevented a large bomb from landing on his teammates, seemingly sacrificing himself.

Native rogues were the dominant element--dark-haired,dark-eyed Arcadians,pistols at their side and &amp;nbsp;daggers tucked in their web belts and bravery,if not brains in their hearts heartshearts.Prince Toreus Rhann,knew some of them,via his guider link,that gave tactical data and historical material,when he needed such for combat tactical situations and mission operations reports on local individuals of interest. But there were wolves of half a dozen outland nations there as wellwell. There was a giant pail,yellowish green Jovian Primitive renegade, taciturn and&amp;nbsp; dangerous, He like all Jovian Primitives,was a product of superior genetic engineering of Old Earths Alpha-Omega Warriors Super Soldier Program and has superhuman endurance,super Strong bones, regenerative abilities and unlimited strength.He wore a great leather sash around his left shoulder,that wrapped about his lower right,massively muscle hip.A huge set of ammo cartridges,hung from this and met upon a broadsword strapped to his great gaunt frame--for men woresteel openly in the Tavern.His name was Janus Rockaway-a space mercenary,sometimes star pirate and interstellar bounty-hunter,working with the Terran Federation and their Colonial Alliances.He was said to be a direct descendant of the famous Jovian Primitive Slave Leader Joshua Rockaway,some centuries back in ancient Terran Colonial history.The Jovian’s dark grey green eyes,glanced about,trying not to notice Toreus gazing in his direction.Janus Rockaway,looked back around and returned to his Darkhonean Ale.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Sitting opposite him,was another alien looking mercenary known by the name of Barrack Nhorr-he was known to many to be a strange humanoid ,covered by a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;durable, orange silicon-based body armored hide.They were known &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;as Gholemoidians ,that grants him protection against nearly all forms of physical harm and gives him a rock-like appearance.He wore a similar costume as the Jovian,a Combat Utility Military Style vest,but one more suited to his huge,rocky statur,complete with strange Ruinic Symbols,of Gholemoidian designs,that crisscrossed,like huge red rock scratches in his leather like apparell.He wore a huge,Gholemoidian Broadsword upon his back and two,huge pistols,fit for his two great rocky five fingered hands.His cold,baby blue eyes,twinkled back at Young Thuvian Prince as he staired at him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;Sitting opposite him,was another alien looking mercenary known by the name of Barrack Nhorr-he was known to many to be a strange species of durable, orange silicon-based substance,known as Gholemoidians ,that grants him protection against nearly all forms of physical harm and gives him a rock-like appearance.

The lower shell that encases the belly is called the plastron. The carapace and plastron are joined together on the turtle's sides by bony structures called bridges. The inner layer of a turtle's shell is made up of about 60 bones that includes portions of the backbone and the ribs, meaning the turtle cannot crawl out of its shell. In most turtles, the outer layer of the shell is covered by horny scales called scutes that are part of its outer skin, or epidermis. Scutes are made up of a fibrous protein called keratin that also makes up the scales of other reptiles. These scutes overlap the seams between the shell bones and add strength to the shell. Some Gholemoidians do not have horny scutes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;He wore a similar costume as the Jovian,a Combat Utility Military Style vest,but one more suited to his huge,rocky statur,complete with strange Ruinic Symbols,of Gholemoidian designs,that crisscrossed,like huge red rock scratches in his leather like apparel.He wore a huge,Gholemoidian Broadsword upon his back and two,huge pistols,fit for his two great rocky five fingered hands.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;In In oxygen-rich atmospheres, Barrack Nhorr also possesses vast superhuman strength almost comparable to his huge companion Janus Rockaway.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;This mineral state also grants him an extremely prolonged lifespan.Since his species is somewhat based on an ancient turtle like humanoid species,Barrack Nhorr ,as many Gholemoideans are thought to have exceptional night vision due to the unusually large number of rod cells in their retinas.They have color vision with a wealth of cone subtypes with sensitivities ranging from the near Ultraviolet (UV A) to Red.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;When fighting as a gladiator,with Janus Rockaway,in the Great Lhankmearian Arenas, he mostly relied on his physical power and extremely durable form, rather than actual fighting skills. He is, however, an experienced military strategist and consummate pragmatist, constantly assessing his environment so he can tell what actions are necessary for his continued survival.Bharrack Nhorr,often will insult or talk to his appointed,hoping confused him or her with insults and wise cracks or boasts of his strength and fighting skill,hoping make an enemy become sloppy and make mistakes in combat situations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;He is capable of surviving impacts of great strength and force without sustaining injury, as his body is covered with an orange, flexible, rock-like hide. He is also able to withstand gunfire from high caliber weapons as well as armor piercing rounds. The&amp;nbsp; highly advanced musculature generates fewer fatigue toxins during physical activity, granting him superhuman levels of stamina.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Aside from his physical attributes, &amp;nbsp;Barrack Nhorr 's senses can withstand greater levels of sensory stimulation than an ordinary human, with the exception of his sense of touch. His lungs possess greater efficiency and volume than those of an ordinary human,since his species originated from an aquatic animal,such as a turtle.As a result, &amp;nbsp;Barrack Nhorr is capable of holding his breath for much greater periods of time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Both Janus Rockaway and Barrack Nhorr,were two oddest of companions-a huge,hulking humanoid and his rocky Golem like companion.Both two of the fierest warriors.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;‘’Fight you cowards’’a dark,gravely voiced broke through the other load tavern patrons merrymaking.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; There was a bold-eyed Brythundrian wench, sitting on the knee of a tawny-haired Darkhonean warriors knee—a wandering mercenary soldier, a deserter from some defeated army-perhaps somewhere on Terra-Prime or somewhere from beyond the stars-who could tell.He was a huge,large,walnut headed.dark skinned swarthy looking hard-faced man of maybe over 6 foot-maybe 7 foot.He had an almost oriental look,but a bulbous forehead,that came into a strange,bar shaped widows peak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;High rising satanic eye brows,curved upward,like great scimitars inward toward each other .This gave the wolfish faced dark haired giant more sophisticated and threatening demeanor,than many of the fellows around him.He simply sat there and grinned a vulpine smile,bearing to canine fangs,like some humanoid predatory dog.A great black,scarlet and dark golden sash,made from leather,hung from his left armored shoulder pad down passed his broad deep chest and around his hip,toward his back area-which had a great Darkhonean Broadsword,strapped into it’s dark leather sheath.Odd energy weapon and a special knifes hung his combat ulity belf.also of Darkhonean design.Two other Darkhoneans sat silently behind his,keeoing their peace and not wanting insult their commanded by informing that as Darkhonean Pack leader,he was embarrassing them in public and should remain silent.Not boisterously get involved in some backward cultures retared sports. ‘’More-more-fight like men.not children you Terran spawned dogs.’’the Darkhonean shouted,lifting a cup of Darkhonean Wine,to encourage the two Thuleans still chocking each other.I have fifty Drakharr credits upon Juggass Tharns head,that he’d beat his twine brother Drunkuss Tharn in a fair choking fight.’’ Janus Rockaway and Barrack Nhorr both glaced over into the Darkhoneans direction,giving a sallure look of disgust and hopefully loud mouthed bad luck,brought on by the ancient Lords of Light and Darkness-a eons old interstellar slang term for the many good and bad super beings fighting the Great Titantic Temporal Cold Wars of the Multiverse..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Behind the the Jovian Primitive and Gholemoidean,was a tall,dark haired warrior,who stood almost as tall as Prince Toreus himself.He had cold steeling blue eyes and dark black hair,and was obviously of the same ancestry as the Thuvian Prince himself,but shared some ancestral traits of the Kalladon and Delkhon blood.Beside him was two figures-the bald ,Oriental looking Time Sorcerer Charin Kharr-a rare Half Delkhonean and half Shaintainean Temporal Wizard,who was currently travelling Janus Rockaway and company.He claims to be able to trace his lineage back to the ancient Chinese Emperors of the Shun Dynasty,upon Old Earth and the ancient Delkhonean Emperors of the Kharr Dynasty,upon the Delkhonean home world. Chairen Kharr ,claimed to be one of partial Atlantean blood-being they of one of many Elder Races-who eons ago controlled and conquered the infinite realms of temporal space,by way star gate technology plus cosmic and quantum temporal forces,to control matter and energy,to be used in many ways similar to those fictional and fantasy mystic wizards,to the Legion gained their name.The legion,it was said,were the true Guardians of peace and justice,throughout the infinite cosmos and infinite multiverse beyond.Beside was Lady Janisca Gravestone-a Jovian Primitive female warrior. The tall Thuvian approached Prince Toreus Rhann,striding across the beer and wine stained floor,with confidence of a stalking Lords of Lions himself would do,in a similar situation. This Thuvian was as much out of place in that den as a gray wolf among mangy rats of the gutters. His Thuvian shirt and combat vest could not conceal the hard, rangy lines of his powerful frame, the broad heavy shoulders, the massive chest, lean waist and heavy arms.The Thuvian Rangers eyes blue and smoldering; a shock of tousled black hair crowned his broad forehead.

When she was thirteen years old, she was kidnapped by the Red King. At the time she was still in training and hadn't earned her marks (rites of passage resembling tattoos which are given by her people to those who show great strength in battle). But the elders of her people knew that she had the old "Shadow Strength", which seemingly is some sort of legendary physical ability. The [[Spikes]] were sent to attack her people, infecting everyone in her village. she possesses immense [[superhuman]] strength, which makes her one of the strongest known women in the [[Marvel Universe]]s body is superhumanly durable and impervious to high levels of force, pain, and disease: her skin can withstand extremes of temperature, as well as tremendous stresses and impacts without puncture wounds or lacerations. Her enhanced physiology renders her immune to all terrestrial diseases. She-Hulk also possesses a healing factor, which enabled her to completely recover, within minutes, from a skewering by the.Caiera was forced to slay her own father after he was no longer in control of himself. The elders told her to run, but Caiera refused, choosing instead to remain and fight, as she had surmised it was a good day to die.&amp;nbsp; The Red King, still a boy at the time, ordered his guards to kill the Spikes and convinced Caiera to join his side. He had his guards throw a dart into Caiera's body, marking her as his slave but still granted Caiera the rank of Lieutenant of his army. has powers inherited from both his parents. Like the Hulk, his father, he has superhuman endurance, regenerative abilities and superhuman strength, which, like his father, increases when he is enraged, although he isn't as strong as the Savage Hulk persona. He also can revert to a human form when calm or otherwise incapacitated. However, in his case, his other form is half-human, half-Oldstrong. From his mother, Caiera, he has the powers of an Oldstrong, emerging from his birth cocoon able to walk and talk within moments, and he can draw power from the planet and harden his body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Jovian&amp;nbsp; Syndicate is a criminal organization operated by the Jovian Crime Families.The long list of criminal activities credited to the Jovian Syndicate include the kidnapping and selling of Starfleet crew members, assassinations, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protection_racket" title="Protection racket"&gt;protection rackets&lt;/a&gt;, smuggling, and piracy.&lt;br /&gt;Jovian society, the males are slaves to the females. As a means of deceiving other species, however, the Jovian maintain the facade that the females are the slaves.Once sold to a male, the Jovian slave girls use their unique &lt;a href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Physiology" title="Physiology"&gt;physiology&lt;/a&gt; to their advantage; their highly potent &lt;a href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Pheromone" title="Pheromone"&gt;pheromones&lt;/a&gt; accelerate the metabolisms of males of many species, raising &lt;a href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Adrenaline" title="Adrenaline"&gt;adrenaline&lt;/a&gt; production to dangerous levels which causes aggression and, ultimately, a form of delusion. Its most significant effect is to make them susceptible to suggestion. Not long after, the "owner" males begin taking orders from their "slave" females.Jovian Female tears, secreted by the females, contain a &lt;a href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Biochemistry" title="Biochemistry"&gt;biochemical&lt;/a&gt; compound transmittable to many humanoid males.

Jovian women are known for their wiles and sexual appetites that their seductive prowess stems in large part from the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pheromones" title="Pheromones"&gt;pheromones&lt;/a&gt; they release.

At its height it was the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_empires" title="List of largest empires"&gt;largest&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire" title="Empire"&gt;empire&lt;/a&gt; in history and, for over a century, was the foremost &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_power" title="Great power"&gt;global power&lt;/a&gt;. By 1922, the British Empire held sway over a population of about 458 million people, one-quarter of the world's population,and covered more than 13,000,000 square miles (33,670,000 km&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;): approximately a quarter of the Earth's total land area.As a result, its &lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Law" title="Common Law"&gt;political&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Language" title="English Language"&gt;linguistic&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_culture" title="British culture"&gt;cultural&lt;/a&gt; legacy is widespread. At the peak of its power, it was often said that "the sun never sets on the Gharvhann Empire" because its span across the globe ensured that the sun was always shining on at least one of its numerous territories.&lt;br /&gt;The&amp;nbsp; were once a nomadic &lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Species" title="Species"&gt;species&lt;/a&gt; of hunters who were encountered,who settled upon a titanic heavy gravity world.It is speculated,the Gharvhann are a similar hulking breed of humanoid species similar to the Jovian Primative,but from another alternate reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline"&gt;Physiology&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h2&gt;The &lt;b&gt;Gharvhann &lt;/b&gt;adult males are quite large, standing above the average height of other known &lt;a href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Humanoid" title="Humanoid"&gt;humanoid&lt;/a&gt; species.  Their sensory perception is acute and quite useful for a hunting species. The&amp;nbsp; &lt;b&gt;Gharvhann&lt;/b&gt; also possess an impressive &lt;a href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Immune_system" title="Immune system"&gt;immune system&lt;/a&gt; for attacking foreign bodies.&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline"&gt;Society and Culture &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;b&gt;Gharvhann&lt;/b&gt; society centers around "the hunt", which they regard with a reverence that borders on spiritual awe. Elements of their culture, such as social rituals and beliefs, are based on the hunt. One of the rituals surrounding the hunt involves hunters applying paint to their faces and helmets for both the hunt and the kill. Even with no face paint available, the &lt;a href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Unnamed_Hirogen#Hirogen_fighter" title="Unnamed Hirogen"&gt;Hunter&lt;/a&gt; being forced to fight in the &lt;a href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Tsunkatse" title="Tsunkatse"&gt;Tsunkatse&lt;/a&gt; matches still went through the ritual of running his finger over his face as if applying it. The &lt;b&gt;Gharvhann&lt;/b&gt;culture requires a hunter to study his prey to understand its abilities, believing that such study is essential to prevent a hunter from becoming the hunted. Choosing the most appropriate weapon to make the kill is considered important: a scythe-like knife seems to be the preferred method for close range. There is great importance placed upon the moment of the kill and it is believed that the way a creature behaves when it is wounded is the key to its destruction. They express disappointment when the species they choose to hunt proves to be unchallenging. The &lt;b&gt;Gharvhann&lt;/b&gt; rarely see other humanoids as equals because they rarely see non- &lt;b&gt;Gharvhann&lt;/b&gt; as hunters. As a result being called "worthy prey" by The &lt;b&gt;Gharvhann&lt;/b&gt; is meant as a great compliment. The &lt;b&gt;Gharvhann&lt;/b&gt; believe "you must never sympathize with your prey"; however, they do bestow a rather unique non-human compassion towards their prey, believing that they should never let their prey suffer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most &lt;b&gt;Gharvhann &lt;/b&gt;vessels travel alone, sometimes with a crew as small as just two. One such vessel was known to have spanned a radius of 1,000 light years in just five years; it had also visited as many as 90 star systems in a single year.  Occasionally, however,&amp;nbsp; The &lt;b&gt;Gharvhan&lt;/b&gt;vessels are encountered in groups or packs. This is more common if they are hunting a challenging and resilient prey. The &lt;b&gt;Gharvhann&lt;/b&gt; social structure is organized into packs of male hunters, each led by a The &lt;b&gt;Gharvhann&lt;/b&gt; known as the &lt;a href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Alpha_Hirogen" title="Alpha Hirogen"&gt;Alpha&lt;/a&gt;.  The second-in-command is the &lt;a href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Beta_Hirogen" title="Beta Hirogen"&gt;Beta&lt;/a&gt; – if the Alpha dies, the Beta becomes the Alpha. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Gharvhann &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Slave ships&lt;/b&gt; were large cargo &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship" title="Ship"&gt;ships&lt;/a&gt; specially converted for the purpose of transporting &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery" title="Slavery"&gt;slaves&lt;/a&gt;, especially newly purchased or captured slaves on one of.&lt;br /&gt;The most important routes of the slave ships led from the northern and middle coasts of&amp;nbsp; to&amp;nbsp; and the&amp;nbsp; of what is today the and the . The captains and sailors of the boats were allowed to do whatever they wanted with the slaves. This included rape, murder, and torture because the slaves were considered their property.&lt;br /&gt;Only a few decades after the discovery of , demand for cheap labor to work plantations made slave-trading a profitable business. The peak time of slave ships to the&amp;nbsp; passage was between the 17th and 18th century when large plantations developed in the Tauron colonies of .&lt;br /&gt;In order to achieve &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profit_%28accounting%29" title="Profit (accounting)"&gt;profit&lt;/a&gt;, the owners of the ships divided their &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hull_%28watercraft%29" title="Hull (watercraft)"&gt;hulls&lt;/a&gt; into holds with little headroom, so they could transport as many slaves as possible. Unhygienic conditions, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dehydration" title="Dehydration"&gt;dehydration&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysentery" title="Dysentery"&gt;dysentery&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scurvy" title="Scurvy"&gt;scurvy&lt;/a&gt; led to a high &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortality_rate" title="Mortality rate"&gt;mortality rate&lt;/a&gt;, on average 15 and up to a third of captives. Only the most resilient survived the transport. Often the ships transported hundreds of slaves, who were chained tightly to plank beds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline"&gt;Science and Technology &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div class="thumb tright"&gt;&lt;div class="thumbinner"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="thumbcaption"&gt;&lt;div class="magnify"&gt;&lt;a class="internal" href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/File:Idrin.jpg" title="Enlarge"&gt;&lt;img alt="" height="11" src="http://images.wikia.com/common/releases_200912.2/skins/common/images/magnify-clip.png" width="15" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;A&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Gharvhann&lt;/b&gt; technology is not made for comfort. It, like its makers, is focused on the hunt. The&amp;nbsp; &lt;b&gt;Gharvhann&lt;/b&gt; body armor has internal &lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Life_support" title="Life support"&gt;life support&lt;/a&gt;, with a breathing apparatus over the mouth and nose, and it can protect a&amp;nbsp; &lt;b&gt;Gharvhann&lt;/b&gt; hunter while seeking prey in most hostile environments, including the surface of a collapsed &lt;a href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Star" title="Star"&gt;star&lt;/a&gt;.   &lt;br /&gt;The&amp;nbsp; &lt;b&gt;Gharvhann&lt;/b&gt; have an arsenal of various formidable &lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Weapon" title="Weapon"&gt;weapons&lt;/a&gt;, including a &lt;a href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Tetryon" title="Tetryon"&gt;tetryon&lt;/a&gt; rifle with a &lt;a href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Sensor" title="Sensor"&gt;sensor&lt;/a&gt; display that helps a hunter to track his prey.  They also have a device that seems to function much like a &lt;a href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Tricorder" title="Tricorder"&gt;tricorder&lt;/a&gt;, which reveals bio-data on the captured prey. A Hirogen he &lt;b&gt;Gharvhann&lt;/b&gt; hunter learned from scanning&amp;nbsp;   &lt;br /&gt;Hirogen ships make use of various technologies including &lt;a href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Torpedo_launcher" title="Torpedo launcher"&gt;torpedo launchers&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Shields" title="Shields"&gt;shield emitters&lt;/a&gt; and sensors.&amp;nbsp; &lt;b&gt;Gharvhann&lt;/b&gt; vessels are also equipped with a &lt;a href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Subnucleonic_beam" title="Subnucleonic beam"&gt;subnucleonic beam&lt;/a&gt; that can perform rapid scans of other vessels and can severely disable another ship, disrupting its &lt;a href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Propulsion" title="Propulsion"&gt;propulsion&lt;/a&gt; and its navigational sensors. Once a target ship is disabled, the&amp;nbsp; &lt;b&gt;Gharvhann&lt;/b&gt; can use their &lt;a href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Tractor_beam" title="Tractor beam"&gt;tractor beam&lt;/a&gt; technology to tractor in their prey. Their ships also have &lt;a class="mw-redirect" href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Monotanium_armor_plating" title="Monotanium armor plating"&gt;monotanium armor plating&lt;/a&gt;. This plating offers extra protection and it has the added effect of scattering &lt;a class="new" href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/index.php?title=Targeting_beam&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1" rel="nofollow" title="Targeting beam (page does not exist)"&gt;targeting beams&lt;/a&gt;. Hirogen he &lt;b&gt;Gharvhann&lt;/b&gt; vessels are also able to mask their engines by operating in &lt;a href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Stealth" title="Stealth"&gt;stealth mode&lt;/a&gt; when they wish to track a vessel without alerting it to their presence.  The command center of the&amp;nbsp; &lt;b&gt;Gharvhann&lt;/b&gt; he &lt;b&gt;Gharvhann&lt;/b&gt; vessel has a large metallic sphere with deep intersecting grooves. Manipulating the rods set into the unit can alter the vessel's speed and attitude. Information about incoming fire, the stability of the Hirogenhe &lt;b&gt;Gharvhann&lt;/b&gt; ship's hull armor and navigational sensors are also relayed through this station.   &lt;br /&gt;They communicate over a &lt;a href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Subspace_relay" title="Subspace relay"&gt;subspace relay&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Hirogen_communications_network" title="Hirogen communications network"&gt;network&lt;/a&gt;.This alien network is over 100,000 years old and extends to within communication range of the &lt;a href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Alpha_Quadrant" title="Alpha Quadrant"&gt;Alpha Quadrant&lt;/a&gt;. The relays are powered by &lt;a href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Artificial_quantum_singularity" title="Artificial quantum singularity"&gt;artificial quantum singularities&lt;/a&gt;, . Each of these relays produces an intense gravitational field. &lt;i&gt;Voyager&lt;/i&gt; destroyed one of the relays and the energy from the quantum &lt;a href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Singularity" title="Singularity"&gt;singularity&lt;/a&gt; created a massive discharge that disabled the stations on the relay network.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;  &lt;div class="thumb tright"&gt;&lt;div class="thumbinner"&gt;&lt;a class="image" href="http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/File:Hirogen_Station_Flesh_and_Blood.jpg" title="Hirogen holodeck outpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

Although the toy line was not initially successful, the innovative and fantastical design made lasting impressions on those children who owned them. Much like Star Trek, their popularity only grew after cancellation, and Colorform Aliens are now one of the more expensive toys to collect, a fact made even more acute because of the toy’s somewhat fragile elements.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Encased in the rubber at the limbs and neck, Colorform Aliens were fitted with stiff lead wires that allowed for a semi-permanent articulation of the figure's body. Unfortunately, as many sad, sad children discovered, the more posing effected on the figure, the more the internal wires had a tendency to bend out of shape or, worse yet, break—rendering the Outer Space Man a hopeless, gimpy mess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The design of Colorform Aliens both on the packaging and the figure itself was indisputably one of their coolest features. Colorful, space age motifs combined with the tantalizing elements of mythology, science fiction and obscured lines of good vs. evil (who was to say which Alien was the hero and which was the villain?) made for an especially alluring toy. Several of the figures, such as Alpha 7 The Man From Mars, had permanently fixed colored plastic bubble space helmets around their heads, which instantly and mysteriously made them highly coveted. That is, with the exception of Commander Comet—the only human looking figure in the bunch—who was apparently just too white bread to be cool. Even with the space helmet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many kids spent fruitless hours trying to complete their collection of Colorform Aliens. Several of the original sets of figures were produced in such low quantities as to make them nearly impossible to attain. These were invariably the best figures and the ones that only your most hated schoolyard enemies owned. Of course, this made it necessary for you to humiliate yourself by making alliances with kids whom you normally feared and despised, just to get your hands on their sweet, sweet Colorform Aliens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Colorform planned a second set of figures called The World of the Future, which was unfortunately never mass produced and now only exists in the hands of collectors rich or crazy enough to pay the exorbitant prices these rare prototype units fetch. Instead of more figures, the company produced a few puzzles and a traditional Colorform set based on both the original figures and the never-produced second line of aliens. The Colorform set is worth having just to look at the hauntingly rad images of the figures you could never buy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although Colorform Aliens were innovative and eventually enjoyed a nearly pagan-like popularity among those who owned them at one time or another, the Colorform company never again tried to make action figures.&lt;br /&gt;Release History of Toy&lt;br /&gt;1968 - The Outer Space Men&lt;br /&gt;Alpha 7 The Man from Mars with Laser Pistol and Helmet&lt;br /&gt;Astro-Nautilus The Man from Neptune with Trident&lt;br /&gt;Electron+ The Man from Pluto with Laser Pistol and Helmet&lt;br /&gt;Colossus Rex The Man from Jupiter with Mace&lt;br /&gt;Commander Comet The Man from Venus with Crossbow, Wings and Helmet&lt;br /&gt;Orbitron The Man from Uranus with Weapon&lt;br /&gt;Xodiac The Man from Saturn with Weapon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unreleased - The World of the Future&lt;br /&gt;Cyclops Giant from Beyond the Milky Way with Weapons, Helmet and Armor&lt;br /&gt;Gamma-X The Man from the 4th Dimension with Weapon&lt;br /&gt;Gemini The Man from Twin Star Algol with Helmet, Septre and Weapon&lt;br /&gt;Inferno The Flame Man of Mercury with Weapon&lt;br /&gt;Metamorpho The Man from Alpha Centauri with Accessories&lt;br /&gt;Mystron The Man from Hollow Earth with Septre and Helmet&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related Accessories&lt;br /&gt;1977 - Set of Four 250 Pc.

Toy lines like G.I. Joe spawned a seemingly endless spinoff string of boy-version Barbie dolls, all of which needed to come equipped either with a rifle, a bayonet, or one of those extra-cool man-killing weapons that combined a rifle and a bayonet together. There were few 'pansy' boy toys back then. The only way a male child was gonna own any pink action figures is if the toys' painted-on blood lightened in the sunlight. All the toys seemed almost 'macho.' I guess it took a few decades for the men in the world to become in touch with their feminine side just enough to allow their sons to play with action figures that didn't have any connotations to murder, boxing, or the armed forces. Though Colorforms' figures fit the stereotype, I have to admit that they're way more fun than Sweet Secrets dolls.       &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; Written/Created by: Matt&lt;br /&gt;Originally posted on 1/23/03.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related X-E Articles:&lt;br /&gt; Lucky Charms&lt;br /&gt;The infamous X-E review of 'Leprechaun IV: Leprechaun In Space.'

Toy lines like G.I. Joe spawned a seemingly endless spinoff string of boy-version Barbie dolls, all of which needed to come equipped either with a rifle, a bayonet, or one of those extra-cool man-killing weapons that combined a rifle and a bayonet together. There were few 'pansy' boy toys back then. The only way a male child was gonna own any pink action figures is if the toys' painted-on blood lightened in the sunlight. All the toys seemed almost 'macho.' I guess it took a few decades for the men in the world to become in touch with their feminine side just enough to allow their sons to play with action figures that didn't have any connotations to murder, boxing, or the armed forces. Though Colorforms' figures fit the stereotype, I have to admit that they're way more fun than Sweet Secrets dolls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They were called The Outer Space Men, a line of truly inspired and very unique alien characters each representing a different planet in our solar system. We're not talking about you're typical little green men with bulging black eyes. The Outer Space Men featured characters that were half-octopus, characters with two heads, characters with ape faces, and even characters from the fourth dimension. This was serious stuff. I honestly have no idea how rare these guys are today, but considering the time frame and how highly sought figures of this type generally are, I'd bet that they cost somewhere in the realm of sixty-five trillion dollars a piece. And double that if packaged. So, while none of us who were born too late to experience them the first time can afford to try it out now, at least we can look at the pretty pictures and wonder what it would've been like to chew their tiny plastic fingers off one by one like Larry Drake from Darkman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Article continued below advertisement:&lt;br /&gt;Visit our sponsors to support the site!&lt;br /&gt;So, before I go off into a fifth preliminary paragraph, which is rather pointless since 88% of you probably skip all this 'hi how are you' bullshit and move right towards the paragraphs under a colorful picture, today's article is my tribute to all thirteen figures created for Colorforms' The Outer Space Men series. I'd promise not to play favorites, but I'm a sucker for Saturn. And I've got a thing for Uranus. OH HO HO HAAAAA. Uranus jokes are so retro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though I scanned the packaged-toy pics, I should thank this fansite for some of the other pics and loads of great info on the line. If you like what you see here, go there next. And then after that, ride a pony.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;COMMANDER COMET: There's two things about Commander Comet that makes me believe he's the closest thing to the line's hero character. First and most obviously, he received the 'commander' moniker. It's hard to argue with concrete salutations like that. More importantly though, Commander Comet is the only one in the set who's even remotely close to looking human. I mean sure, he's got his head stuck in a fishbowl and he flies around using angel wings, but other than that this guy could've been your next door neighbor. Unfortunately, Commander Comet doesn't represent Earth - none of the figures do. No, apparently, this guy's the heavenly ambassador from Venus. Comet comes dressed in a gold spacesuit, and the figure appears to be sucking in its stomach to hide its beer gut during the promotional photo shoot. Colorforms maintains that Commander Comet is a direct descendent of Zeus, but offers no proof to support such claims.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ALPHA 7: Alpha 7, the man from Mars, is the only one of the Outer Space Men who really looks the part. Almost all accounts of alien abductions taken from trailer whores and X-Files fan clubs paint a picture of extraterrestrial like appearing not unlike Alpha 7. The only real difference is that Alpha is much shorter, almost like a prepubescent baby alien who doesn't even know how to administer alien ass probe tests yet. The figure looks cool, but it's just way too much smaller than the others to be a favorite. I understand the need to mix things up a bit, but we're talking about a pretty big size difference here - some of the others are nearly three times Alpha's size. It seems like a gyp, but now I'm remembering that all action figures cost like thirty-nine cents each back then anyway. Who gives a shit? He was still a good deal. Like Comet Commander, Alpha 7 subscribes to the theory that you're not an alien unless you've got a goldfish tank on your head.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;COLOSSUS REX: Colossus Rex hails from Jupiter, and shares his home planet's penchant for being really, really large. Looking sort of like an android version of that nasty Creature from the Black Lagoon, Colossus' bio-card mentions that he's an explorer, not a conqueror. I'm not sure I believe that, though. Shoulders don't get that broad unless someone's planning to start some trouble. The biography also mentions that he's invincible - totally impervious to pain. He's obviously never been forced to sit through that episode of Coach where the doctor tells Hayden that all those post-game whirlpool baths did a serious number on his sperm count.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;XODIAC: I'm not sure how you pronounce that. Is it like 'Zodiac,' or maybe 'Chrisodiac?' See, that's why this line should've had an accompanying cartoon. They could've staged an intergalactic phone conversation between Commander Comet and Xodiac so the toy-buying public would know how to pronounce the guy's name when asking the staff if he was in stock. Xodiac represents my favorite planet, Saturn. His bio-card is marred by ridiculously obscure vocabulary words that were discontinued in the late-70s, but I think they were trying to say that he was the smartest of the Outer Space Men. I hope that's true, because he ain't gonna win any trophies with that physique. Xodiac is pencil thin throughout his entire body, with the only thing retaining a width larger than a tenth of a centimeter being his huge, red, ghastly head. I don't get the impression that Xodiac was one of the top players, which saddens me. Saturn deserved someone a little cooler. Why couldn't the gold lifeguard with the angel wings come from here instead of Venus? It ain't fair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ORBITRON: Orbitron looks a lot like the famous Meluna Mutant, in fact seemingly too much so to be a coincidence. Then again, maybe it's not such a stretch for two completely different minds to hatch up an alien character with brains on the outside of their skulls. Orbitron comes from Uranus. You know, in typing that last sentence, I'm really starting to see the benefits in doing audiotape versions of these articles. As a figure, Orbitron is rather boring. He's got a skinny, bland body free of any creative juice, and a head that makes him look more like an inside-out pimp than something truly otherworldly. On the plus side, he might have the best name out of all the figures. But cool names won't win you any hearts unless you're currently looking for that special someone on the Love@AOL message boards. Orbitron sucks, just like a man from Uranus should.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ASTRO-NAUTILUS: Astro-Nautilus is probably the most inspired figure in the series. Admittedly, it wasn't a huge leap of faith to create an ocean-inspired monster coming from the planet Neptune, but it's so rare that the world becomes graced with the presence of action figures that are half-astronaut, half-octopus. No, it's actually even better than that. While a first glance suggests this guy as an octopus, he's really based on an even neater sea creature, the nautilus. What a shock, right? I mean, the only preliminary clue about that was the fact that they repeat the word 'nautilus' in its entirety in the character's name. I apologize for my temporary fall from grace, it's been a long night. According to his bio, Nautilus is one of the 'Triton people,' who secretly landed on Earth to inhabit its oceans. For further validity on that, I remember reading the same thing in my sixth grade social studies textbook.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ELECTRON-X: Pluto's entry into The Outer Space Men is one of my faves, mixing elements from classic aliens to The Wizard of Oz's Tin Man. Research reveals that Electron-X and others of his kind are actually made up of pure energy. That means he's the only toy in history who can keep up with the trendsetting, ultra-quick breakbeats in Darren's Dance Grooves. I'm more concerned with his cool purple head and that weird button in the middle of his chest which probably makes him explode. For added mystique, Electron-X comes with a gun so perfectly shaped like a dick that I can't believe it's not meant to be just that. Come on, it's not impossible that the guys on other worlds have removable dicks. And let's not discount the benefits of that, either. I know I'd take mine off before going to a funeral, because god forbid you get hard at one of those things. There's just no way to justify it no matter how much you try. I'm jealous of Electron-X. I have removable-penis envy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's the first series of Outer Space Men figures, and the only ones who ever hit the toy stores. The second series could be viewed on the packaging and in catalogs, but they never made it onto the shelves. Still, they're really interesting characters and since there's enough info out there to confirm their existence, I'm including them with this tribute. Just keep in mind that there's no way you could actually buy these figures. I love crushing your spirit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;INFERNO: Finally, someone from Mercury. The hottest planet gets the hottest figure, as Inferno was said to be composed of living fire that burned forever. Of course, the dumb idiot conceals all that cool stuff with a dumb gray spacesuit. If I was made of fire, I wouldn't hide it with all that crap. That's the kind of thing you'd want to show off. Inferno was to be released with a light-up head, and was surrounded by a background 'mane' of plastic flames. Now that all the planets besides Earth were covered, the remaining figures represented odder corners of the universe...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CYCLOPS: You'll love this one - a giant, one-eyed troll from the Milky Way. Cyclops seems to be the godlike entity of the series, supposedly the most powerful of all the figures. Too bad he's got one eye. That decreases his property value more than having a neighbor who paints daily greetings to the street on the side of his house using dark brown liquefied horse shit. The figure would've came with various extra sets of armor, and he ended up having more accessories than anyone else in the set. I guess Colorforms didn't think a one-eyed bull-man was enough to inspire sales on its own. They underestimate us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GEMINI: If Gemini would've been released, I'm positive he'd have been every kid's favorite. Coming from the 'twin star Algol' or some shit, Gemini is the only figure that had two heads. And best of all, they're really great heads. Elongated, bulgy green heads. He would've had the coolest torso area even with one of those heads, but with two? He's a pure treasure. They so should license these guys out for a re-release. Even if they just sold a few hundred thousand in comic book stores with inflated prices, I think they'd do pretty well. If there was Gemini figure laying out in the middle of the street, I don't believe there's a person in the world who wouldn't pick him up and take him home after coming across it. Gemini figures could've easily replaced those collision ball sets as the desk toy of the century.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GAMMA-X: Gamma-X comes from the 'fourth dimension,' and they tried to illustrate that by affixing translucent plastic parts on the figure, making it look like it's JUMPIN' RIGHT OFF THE PACKAGE AND INTO YOUR MIND. The bio-cards for the would-be second series were somehow even more ridiculous than the first set. When referring to Gamma-X's powers of switching between the 3rd and 4th dimensions, they use terminology that makes a Sly Stallone interview read like Grover's There's A Monster At The End Of This Book. Gamma-X's super power was said to be the ability to walk through walls and other solid objects. I still don't think that's anywhere near as cool as Commander Comet's angel wings. But in Gamma-X's defense, I really don't think anything is as cool as Commander Comet's angel wings. They remind me of the first time I received the Body of Christ. I thought it tasted like those containers McDonald's shoves their breakfast value meals into.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MYSTRON: Mystron is from Hollow Earth, which is a lot like Regular Earth, only hollow. I guess that Hollow Earth's mantle is made up of packing peanuts, with the crust being a huge mass of crinkled-up newspaper. As a figure, Mystron doesn't hold a candle to his compatriots. There's nothing particularly 'special' about him, unless you count the head's vague resemblance to a giant vampire bat. While that's cool, it's not enough to pull him out of the series' Loser Pile. That aside, the back stories of these characters were pretty interesting. I don't think they were based on any existing lore, and it's surprising that they didn't at least try to get a comic book out of the license. Actually, it's pretty surprising that the line itself wasn't more popular than it was. The figures were terrific, and they came out in a time where there was a huge interest in anything having to do with UFOs. I guess Colorforms just didn't know how to market 'em. They should've paid a skywriter to decree their greatness over the football field during the 1970 Superbowl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;METAMORPHO: Metamorpho hails from Alpha Centauri, which I'm pretty sure is located just outside San Diego. His gimmick is the ability to mimic the appearance of any creature he meets, so the figure was able to switch between a few different alien faces. If that wasn't enough for you, he also came with two count 'em two intoxicating laser rayguns. Kind of looks a guy with elephantiasis of the head shoved into a Stormtrooper outfit, but the face-switching feature set the template for many action figures to come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Outer Space Men are almost forgotten today, the remaining figures being far too rare for a lot of people to collect. Despite that, I'd have to consider them about as perfect an action figure series as they come, combining every great and necessary element to create one of the most interesting, colorful, and fun series of toys I've ever seen. I've always thought of my generation as the ones who got the really cool toys, but even going back 15-20 years earlier, these were even better. I suppose I'd be more upset about it if I wasn't about to turn 24. I'm practically biting off my Lee Press-Ons with frustration, here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They were called The Outer Space Men, a line of truly inspired and very unique alien characters each representing a different planet in our solar system. We're not talking about you're typical little green men with bulging black eyes. The Outer Space Men featured characters that were half-octopus, characters with two heads, characters with ape faces, and even characters from the fourth dimension. This was serious stuff. I honestly have no idea how rare these guys are today, but considering the time frame and how highly sought figures of this type generally are, I'd bet that they cost somewhere in the realm of sixty-five trillion dollars a piece. And double that if packaged. So, while none of us who were born too late to experience them the first time can afford to try it out now, at least we can look at the pretty pictures and wonder what it would've been like to chew their tiny plastic fingers off one by one like Larry Drake from Darkman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I was a kid there were lots of really cool toys but my favorite was a toy line called The Outer Space Men which was manufactured by Colorforms. I loved those toys… they were bendable action figures and each came from a different planet in our solar system. they were suppsoed to work in conjunction with Major Matt Mason another favorite of mine.  My favorite alien was Colossus Rex the Man from Jupiter but Alpha 7 was a close second place too. Below is some stuff I found on the web about them. They don’t make toys like this any more fellas. In fact with video games action figures don’t even really anymore because kids don’t seem to want to have to imagine if they can have it done for them. Sad. In 30 years will there even be people who come up with original materials? Anyway check out The Outer Space Men! Cool stuff!&lt;br /&gt;Alpha 7 The Man From MarsThe smallest of the aliens, he has a clear blue plastic helmet and a pistol. Alpha is the quintessential “little green man” He is finished in blue metallic paint. There are two variations, the dark blue paint seen here, and a lighter blue.Far below the surface of the dying planet Mars, the descendants of a once great race live on. Above them the majestic cities have long since crumbled and the vast canals lie buried beneath a silent sea of rust red sand. With time and water running out, Alpha 7 and the other members of the Martian armada travel the galaxy in search of a suitable planet to make their own. Their frequent reconnaissance missions and landings on our Earth have given rise to what most earth men consider “wild” stories of “flying saucers” and “little green men”.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alpha 7&lt;br /&gt;Astro Nautalis The Man From NeptuneThe rarest of the aliens, he comes with a trident. He appears to be a rough approximation of a squid or octopus, give or take a limb. Deep beneath the stormy seas of Neptune, great cities loom majestically in the shimmering twilight of a vast and beautiful water world. Here the mighty Triton people live. Not content to see the sun as but a glimmer and the stars as tiny ripples floating on the surface of the sea above, Astro Nautilus and his band of Triton mariners venture forth to sail and chart that greater ocean, Outer Space. Often visiting our planet they land, secretly, without all human knowledge, in the very depths of Earth’s great oceans.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Astro Nautalis&lt;br /&gt;Commander Comet The Man From VenusThe only alien with a human appearance, he has a clear pink plastic helmet, white plastic wings and a brown crossbow. The commander is a cross between an astronaut and cupid. He was originally painted gold, but with time fades to a greenish color.From Olympus, largest of the great cloud cities of Venus, the mighty cloud ship Cumulus sets forth. Like a fiery comet it blazes through the blackness of outer space toward Earth. Its captain, Commander Comet, is a direct descendant of the mighty Zeus, leader of the historic first Venusian expedition to Earth, which landed near the Grecian Isles 3,000 years ago. Commander Comet’s present mission is one of routine Earth surveillance, and once within the atmosphere of Earth, his ship will join the great fleet of Venusian craft that float like clouds above our planet night and day, watching undetected over our world.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Commander Comet&lt;br /&gt;Electron + The Man From Pluto1950’s movie style android with clear purple plastic helmet, amber jewel in his chest and sidearm. He has a benign almost angelic expression. He is gray rubber, painted silver.The cold and desolate planet Pluto is too far from the sun to derive its heat and, thus, the very atmosphere lies frozen and life as we know it cannot exist. But there, at the very edge of our solar system, the great Intergalactic Winds that blow between the stars carry with them great masses of cosmic energy. In the beginning, this living energy bombarding the frozen planet did itself freeze to become living matter and, thus, a mighty race of beings began. Created of energy, they can become energy at will and Electron +, from his laboratory in Electra City, can transport himself throughout the universe as a beam of light.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Electron&lt;br /&gt;Orbiron The Man From Uranus (No Jokes, Please)Do you remember the Metaluna Mutant from “This Island Earth”? Orbitron has a clear red pistol. Orange with brown accents.&lt;br /&gt;From the barren mountains of Uranus great waves of thought reach out through the blackness of outer space probing the universe. Thus, Orbitron and the men of Uranus search the stars seeking the lost knowledge of the Ancient Ones. On great ships they travel to the farthest reaches of our galaxy and beyond. Able to read the minds of men, they have collected the learning of a thousand worlds, and yet they go on searching in a never ending quest to learn that which it has been ordained no man shall ever know.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Orbitron&lt;br /&gt;Colossus Rex The Man From Jupiter Large, knurled, and for some reason, aquatic. Comes with translucent purple mace. The mace has a small loop at the end to facilitate his holding it. Green rubber with aqua metallic paint and purple shorts.&lt;br /&gt;From the huge red spot near the equator of the giant planet Jupiter, a great ship travels forth. On board is the mighty warrior, Colossus Rex, strongest of the strong. The colossal strength needed merely to survive the crushing pressure of the atmosphere and enormous force of gravity on his native Jupiter make him a veritable superman on other worlds. Invulnerable to attack, invincible in battle, brute strength alone is his only weapon. Yet no power in the galaxy can defeat him. We hope his mission is merely to explore the universe and not to conquer it.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Colossus Rex&lt;br /&gt;Xodiac The Man From SaturnXodiac has clear orange accessories including a helmet, staff and pistol. The staff is fragile and easily broken. There is a saturn logo on his chest. He is orange fluorescent rubber with dark blue metallic paint.Saturn is the most beautiful of all the planets. Its symmetrical rings give it a matchless grace and there is nothing like them anywhere else in the solar system. Constructed and placed in orbit by the Elders, millenniums ago, they give the people of Saturn complete mastery over the forces of gravity on their planet. Thus, all work is done by perpetual motion and men can fly above their world in great machines tuned to the frequency of the rings. Freed from manual labor, the men of Saturn have developed great wisdom and the wisest among them is Xodiac. It is said of him that he can tune his staff to play upon the great rings; the music of the spheres resounding throughout the universe to be heard by wise men everywhere. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I seem to remember the packages looking different where sold these toys at Renals.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7311815918818015619-2190397257699852596?l=mavericcomicreader.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mavericcomicreader.blogspot.com/feeds/2190397257699852596/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mavericcomicreader.blogspot.com/2009/11/outer-space-men.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7311815918818015619/posts/default/2190397257699852596'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7311815918818015619/posts/default/2190397257699852596'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mavericcomicreader.blogspot.com/2009/11/outer-space-men.html' title='The Outer Space Men!'/><author><name>mavericstud1</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09599747392514063878</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_HDfaNL7MoEA/SIXb0LLd6xI/AAAAAAAAAGk/QX9xim9JzXM/S220/%2521cid%255F00f501c39008%2524055f5de0%252470701a43%2540youro0kwkw9jwc2%5B1%5D.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311815918818015619.post-1536116360616393005</id><published>2009-11-04T13:47:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-04T13:47:38.128-08:00</updated><title type='text'>= Shauwn MacKalaster</title><content type='html'>Wikia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Entertainment&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Create a new wiki&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * Mavericstud9&lt;br /&gt;    * My Home&lt;br /&gt;    * My talk&lt;br /&gt;    * Watchlist&lt;br /&gt;    *&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      More&lt;br /&gt;           &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * Log out&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maveric Universe Wiki&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    *&lt;br /&gt;       &lt;br /&gt;      Edit this page&lt;br /&gt;    *&lt;br /&gt;       &lt;br /&gt;      History&lt;br /&gt;    *&lt;br /&gt;       &lt;br /&gt;      Move&lt;br /&gt;    *&lt;br /&gt;       &lt;br /&gt;      Unwatch&lt;br /&gt;    *&lt;br /&gt;       &lt;br /&gt;      Share this article&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * Article&lt;br /&gt;    * Discussion&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shauwn MacKalaster&lt;br /&gt;From Maveric Universe Wiki&lt;br /&gt;You have new messages on AoCWiki, DC Animated Universe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   1. == Shauwn MacKalaster == &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   1. == == &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   1.&lt;br /&gt;   2.&lt;br /&gt;          * Real Name = [[ ]] &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   1. ·         *Occupation=Khomandai Valley River Ranger   &lt;br /&gt;   2. ·         |        =   &lt;br /&gt;   3. ·    |*Aliases = [[]]   &lt;br /&gt;   4. ·         |* Identity = Public   &lt;br /&gt;   5. ·         |* Alignment = Good   &lt;br /&gt;   6. ·         |* Affiliation    =   &lt;br /&gt;   7. ·     |* Relatives    =Father ;Colonel Ulyseas Beau ford (Jason Shawn) MacKalaster, , deceased,[Mother] Cassandra Taylor MacKalaster , deceased MacKalaster Uncle  Jack, Captain Jack MacKalaster ; Commander Anthony MacKalaster,  ; Norman  (great grandfather, deceased); []] (grandfather, deceased)   &lt;br /&gt;   8. ·         | Universe   =   &lt;br /&gt;   9. ·         | Base Of Operations        = Mobile, though originally New Hawk City in the Pan Almerhann Federation of Pangea on Terra-Prime .HMS Rivers of Destiny.   &lt;br /&gt;  10. ·         | Custom Label      = Legal Status   &lt;br /&gt;  11. ·         |* Custom     = Shauwn MacKalaster is considered a wanted criminal by officers of the Empire.

An absurd idea! But at one time many believed this to be the case. Some still do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Edmund Halley is most famous for the comet named after him. He also thought the earth was hollow, a theory he proposed in 1692. The biggest push for the idea, though, came from John Cleves Symmes, who published a pamphlet in 1818 describing how access to the interior could be achieved by traveling through openings at both the north and south poles. Symmes even petitioned the U.S. Congress to fund an expedition to "Symmes Hole"! Alas, Congress wasn't interested.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By 1913 scientists were pretty much in agreement that "the earth is neither hollow nor stuffed with sawdust" (as one of them wrote) but the idea of another world beneath our feet was too good to let die, so in that year Burroughs resurrected the hollow earth in At the Earth's Core. David Innes and Abner Perry build a giant mechanical prospector with which they hope to uncover vast mineral deposits far beneath the surface. On the "Iron Mole's" first trip, however, they discover that their vehicle can't be steered! Death seems certain, for doesn't everyone know that the center of the earth is a molten mass of white-hot magma?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead what Innes and Perry discover is that the earth's crust in only 500 miles thick and that the inner surface is inhabited. This is the land of Pellucidar, a place where dinosaurs roam through the jungles, and where saber-toothed tigers hunt the mastodon and mammoth. A tiny sun, the molten core of the earth, hangs in the center of the heavens, shedding perpetual daylight upon Pellucidar. Because the sun never sets, because it is always* now*, there is no such thing as time in Pellucidar! Stranger still, because Pellucidar rests on the inner side of the earth's crust, there is no horizon. The land curves* upwards*, as if you were standing on the inside of a gigantic bowl.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Humans dwell in Pellucidar as well, stone-age men and women who must fight to survive in this savage world. Even worse, these people have been made slaves of the Mahars, a race of intelligent but sinister reptiles who look upon humans as nothing more than beast of burden ~ or as tasty snacks in one of their ghoulish ceremonies!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The struggle of David Innes and Abner Perry to free humanity from the Mahar tyranny is only the beginning of their adventures in Pellucidar. There are a total of seven books in this exciting series, in which Edgar Rice Burroughs takes you on journeys across savage seas infested with plesiosaurs and other hungry creatures, to mountains where pterodactyls roost, and to lands where every waking moment is a struggle to survive. Even Tarzan visits Pellucidar, taking a ride on a dirigible through "Symmes Hole" at the North Pole! So take a journey, via Iron Mole or dirigible, and discover for yourself the wonders, the terrors, and the excitement of Pellucidar!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The complete Pellucidar series!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;At the Earth's Core&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pellucidar&lt;br /&gt;Tanar of Pellucidar&lt;br /&gt;Tarzan at the Earth's Core&lt;br /&gt;Back to the Stone Age&lt;br /&gt;Land of Terror &lt;br /&gt;Savage Pellucidar  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HDfaNL7MoEA/Su5QmQxLcWI/AAAAAAAAATo/8CWwm-OcHes/s1600-h/jubal.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right;

&lt;br /&gt;In the first place please bear in mind that I do not expect you to believe this story.Nor do I expect to believe this movie.It was made a very cheap budget,with guys in suites as Dinosaures.Don't expect Jurassic Park.Don't even expect lizards with flills like Irwin Allen's Lost World.No,expect Puffinstuff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;David Innes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cast Of Characters&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Abner Perry: Victorian Era inventor who builds this drilling machine thingy called "The Mole".

He used to be Dr. Perry's worst student, but now he's financing the "Mole" project and he's teamed up with the old Doc. He's very slick with the ladies, and for some reason, he bears a striking resemblance to Doug McClure and Bowen Tyler of The Land That Time Forgot.

She's a BABE and obviously works all low budget movies of the 197o's! She may not have much in the line of a formal edumacation, but when you got someone who's this incredibly beautiful, and who's a princess to boot! - I don't think having deep conversations with her will be the first thing that would come to mind. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HDfaNL7MoEA/Su5OemF5NXI/AAAAAAAAATI/cH111ek4iuA/s1600-h/dia.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 115px; height: 160px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HDfaNL7MoEA/Su5OemF5NXI/AAAAAAAAATI/cH111ek4iuA/s400/dia.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399339290792113522" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ra: Ra is one of those characters who starts out as a jerk, but then turns out to be a pretty cool guy and becomes friends with David. He's courageous, strong, and honorable. He's also the leader of one of the tribes. Unfortunately, he was cursed with one negative quality - his hair. Dude, seriously, that nappy hair is just way funky. I know it's the 70's and all but that thing's really gotta go. It looks like some kind of a clown wig or somethin'.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gak: Gak is kind of a father figure and the leader of one of the other tribes. He doesn't do much and doesn't have a huge part in the movie. He probably just hung out at the catering truck most of the time downin' the chow.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoojah the Sly One: What a weasel this guy is. Besides being a general scumbag, he's also ugly, devious, treacherous, lecherous, and has breath that could knock a roadkill skunk off a crap wagon. And those are just his good points! Oh and ladies, by the way... He's available!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jubal the Ugly One: This is one big dude, and he doesn't smell any better than Hoojah. Have you ever seen one of those movies where there's a really big dude with a really big club who tries to beat everyone over the head with it? Well, you're about to see another one. Jubal wants Dia for his mate real bad. He may be ugly but he's not blind. Well actually he is in one eye, but you can read about that in the "What The Hell???" section. David had to fight him to win the right to claim Dia as his own. Fortunately for David, he was contracted to work through the end of the film, and unfortunately for Jubal, he wasn't.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Plot&lt;br /&gt;When Dr. Perry invents a huge drilling machine,the Prospector or Iron Mole,as David Innes call it, with the help of a rich American businessman and former geology student by the name of David Innes, he couldn't have know what adventure awaited them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the drilling machine goes out of control, Dr. Perry and David find themselves in a strange underground world, below the earth's mantle.My biggest complaints at the time were events that were changed from the book and how small the world of Pellucidar felt.It looks small,like the stupid planet set the Classic Star Trek series.And Irwin Allen jungle don't help much.I mean,they try with lighting and say it's inside a big cave,but the fantastic stuff you of Pellicidar written in the books and seen comics,isn't here.This Pellicidar was small.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; With a lava sky providing light and heat, and strange creatures and vegetation all around them, David and Dr. Perry begin exploring this strange underground realm, only to find that there's a race of humans living in this strange place, and they're being enslaved and used for food by a sentient race of psychic pterodactyls called the Meyhas.2) The cavemen look like hippies. Ghak the Hairy One and his kin should have been Frazetta-esque muscle-builders. Check out the guy talking to Doug McClure. He looks like Gab Kaplan from Welcome Back, Kotter! I agree with Ghak should saying every once awhile.Hey David I got a Joke for you.Two Pellicidarian walk into a cave. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) The Sagoths were supposed to be apemen not pig-men. Having grown up on The Planet of the Apes films, this seemed a real let down. This may be one of the reasons they didn't do the sagoths that way. I suspect it was more likely budget.They may have tried to the Sagoth's look like Victoian Era British,but they should more monkey like.&lt;br /&gt;Captured, and taken to Pellucidar, the Meyhas' underground empire, they set out to free the slaves, and themselves from the evil that has dominated this underground realm for untold generations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What The Hell???&lt;br /&gt;1. The drilling machine's got a really nice interior. Wood paneled dash board, comfy chairs, nice brass handles on the controls. Very sweet indeed.&lt;br /&gt;2. I'm wondering how they expected to turn this thing. They're trying to steer it while it's digging through solid rock, but it's like long and straight. How are they supposed to turn it? Seems to me that all it should be able to do is go in a straight line.This is pretty actuate to ERB wrote.After some of the story he wrote gets muddled in alot of quick,jump of stuff writting.Burroughs was William Shakespear,but neither he a hack.He knew how usually to keep things going and wrote as if he was your dear old Uncle telling an adventure of his from some other time and place.&lt;br /&gt;3. When David and Dr. Perry are first underground, they encounter a big dinosaur beast thing that chases them through the underground jungle. There's several funny things here. While they're being chased, Doc turns around and starts flipping his umbrella open and closed at the beast saying "Shoo! Shoo!" Then David sends Doc up a tree to get away from this huge thing. Then David lures the thing away and ends up running into a pit of quicksand. All to get away from a duck birb bill dinosaur beast they they could have outrun with four gammy legs and two pair of crutches with only minimal effort. I mean, this thing was totally slow.1) The Sagoths were supposed to be apemen not pig-men. Having grown up on The Planet of the Apes films, this seemed a real let down. This may be one of the reasons they didn't do the sagoths that way. I suspect it was more likely budget.They may have tried to the Sagoth's look like Victoian Era British,but they should more monkey like.&lt;br /&gt;4. When Doc and David are captured by the Segoths and chained up with the other human prisoners, they meet Dia. As I stated above, Dia is gorgeous! But somebody please tell me - Why do all these people speak English?&lt;br /&gt;5. Why did the Segoths let Doc keep his umbrella? They were quick to steal David's watch, but let Doc keep his umbrella. I guess he'll be using it to kick some butt in a later scene or something.&lt;br /&gt;6. When the Segoth lead the prisoners into Pellucidar, they have to walk through a lava fall curtain. The curtain stops flowing when the bridge is lowered. How the hell could they #1 be so close to the lava without it killing them, and #2 walk over this stone bridge without burning the ever living crap out of their feet?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Why are all these big dudes letting the Sagoth push them around? The Sagoth are only about 5' 2" at the most and they look pretty weak. If they tried to push me around like that, I'd bitch-slap 'em into the middle of next week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. The prisoners are all eating, and what do I see in Doc's hand? A good sized pocket knife!!!! You mean to tell me that they couldn't have figured out some way to use it to help them escape a long time ago? That's almost like saying, "Oh gee, I almost forgot. I've had this gun in my pocket the whole time. I wonder if we can use it for anything?" Sometimes I wonder how smart Doc really is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HDfaNL7MoEA/Su5QmkK5IlI/AAAAAAAAAT4/3HMAsS4VT-o/s1600-h/earthcore5.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 273px;"&lt;br /&gt;3) The Mahars, while accurate, aren't scary. Again, Mr. Frazetta set our expectation pretty high. What does a 13 year old know of the pressures of cheap film-making? I laugh now when I hear my own son complain about the film versions of Eragon and The Golden Compass. Human imagination and film-making, even in our CGI world, have a long way to go to meet up.&lt;br /&gt;9. David finally fights the Sagoth and escapes to the outside where he's attacked by Ra for no reason. Now I've had crappy days before, but David just has no friggin' luck whatsoever.&lt;br /&gt;10. While David and Ra are fighting, they end up rolling into this cave where Ra is attacked by some kind of man-eating plant creature. David saves his life and all of a sudden they're best buds. So they're sitting on the ground outside the cave, laughing together about what just happened, and all I can think is...who was doing these guys' hair? Most of the hair in this movie looks like bad wigs. By the way, Ra speaks English too. The cavemen look like hippies. Ghak the Hairy One and his kin should have been Frazetta-esque muscle-builders. Check out the guy talking to Doug McClure. He looks like Gab Kaplan from Welcome Back, Kotter! I agree with Ghak should saying every once awhile.Hey David I got a Joke for you.Two Pellicidarian walk into a cave.&lt;br /&gt;11. Two guys in a cave together. They have to climb up a very steep cave wall into the Meyhas grotto. So Ra jumps up and starts climbing the wall and as he does, David puts his hand on Ra's butt just to "give him a little push". I don't know about Ra, but if I all of a sudden felt a hand on my butt, I'd have fallen off the wall.&lt;br /&gt;12. When the Meyhas fly, they swing around like they're on wires and barely move their wings. I don't really care how they were flying, I'm just glad I wasn't standing under them while they were doing it. If you think seagulls are bad, you definitely don't want to be under one of these things when they're flyin' around.&lt;br /&gt;13. I wonder if the wardrobe guy was allowed to take his seeing eye dog into the wig shop with him when he was buying the hair for this movie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14. Speaking of no luck... David and Ra are going back to try and rescue the slaves and destroy the Meyhas.Which is easy since fly on strings,unlike the ones in Edgar Rice Burroughs original novel. They don't make it very far before they're captured by the Segoth again. Some days it just don't pay to get out of bed.&lt;br /&gt;15. David is given a spear and made to fight this big slow hippopotamus lookin' dinosaur thingy while Ra is chained to a rock. At one point when the hippo beast pushes David back into the crowd of slaves, you see this one woman behind him start smiling and almost laughing as she catches him when he falls back. I guess she finds the threat of being eaten by a giant prehistoric hippopotamus with massive teeth amusing. I mean, it is amusing, but at least she could have stayed in character long enough to finish the scene.&lt;br /&gt;16. After the fight, Ra breaks his chains and then uses them to strangle a Meyhas that is flying down to grab David. Now that's one strong dude!&lt;br /&gt;17. David and Doc escape the caves and in no time, they come across Dia and Hoojah! What luck! Unfortunately they're attacked by a big fire breathing dinosaur toad. Doc comes to the rescue though, killing it with several arrows to the face and throat! Woohoo!!! Nice shootin' Tex! Um, wait a second though. Somethin' just ain't right here. Now, I don't mean to kill the celebratory mood or anything, but where the hell did he find the bow and arrows? Did I miss something?&lt;br /&gt;18. Ok now this is getting ridiculous. They're walking through the jungle and they come across Jubal and Hoojah! Jubal has a badly messed up eye. It looks like the eye of that dude in Cannibal: The Musical, except that Jubal's eye wasn't squirting puss at everyone.&lt;br /&gt;19. So David kills Jubal and now all of a sudden Gak and Ra come piling out of the woodwork right into the clearing where Doc, David, and Dia are standing. Where the hell did they come from???&lt;br /&gt;20. When Segoths die by falling into molten lava, they make a lot of sparks.&lt;br /&gt;21. Ra takes a knife in the back but keeps on goin'! Now that's one tough dude!&lt;br /&gt;22. One of the black tribes' guys who just flashes on the screen for a second as he's shooting a Meyhas with an arrow, looks just like Samuel L. Jackson.&lt;br /&gt;23. I didn't know Meyhas exploded when they die!?!?&lt;br /&gt;24. David just happens to find his watch that the Segoth stole, just as the whole place is exploding and falling apart around them. What luck!&lt;br /&gt;25. Ok, I know there's like lava all over the place and everything, but why is everything exploding? Lava isn't explosive. At least I don't think it is. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.&lt;br /&gt;26. David wants to take Dia back with him at the end. She says she can't go because she would be lost in his world. So David leaves her behind!!!! Dude!!! What, are you blind or somethin'????? Where are you ever going to score a girl that looks like that in the above-ground world? I'll tell you something. If I was there, I'd just beat the ever living crap out of him for even considering doing something that stupid. Oh man she's beautiful. *Sigh*&lt;br /&gt;27. So they're getting ready to leave, and I realize something. How the hell did they get the Mole, which had no power and was only sticking part way out of the ground, fully the rest of the way out of the ground and up on an angled frame so that it could dig back down into the earth? I mean this thing literally had to weigh at least 20 tons. Not to mention the fact that it had no power. I mean, if the good Dr. could fix the stupid thing and restore it's power, then why the heck did they get stranded there in the first place?&lt;br /&gt;28. As the movie ends, the "Mole" comes drilling up through the front lawn of the White House. I don't know about back then, but if they did that today, they'd be vaporized in about a half a second by all the secret service guys with rocket launchers. Apparently back then, the taxes were lower, so all they could afford was two guards hangin' out by the front gate who turn around and run away whenever they see something weird...because that's exactly what happened.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Conclusion&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the Earth's Core is one of those movies you remember watching on Saturday afternoon TV when you were a kid. It's fun, it's stupid, it has dumb looking monsters with bad costumes, it's plot is weak, and weird things happen for no apparent reason and without any warning. It's everything a kid could possibly want in a Saturday afternoon flick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is one of those movies that make you glad you grew up during the 70's. For those of us who did, this is more of a nostalgia trip than it would be for say, someone who was born in the 80's or 90's who would watch this film and probably just think it's dumb and cheap looking. Those of us who grew up in the 70's and watched shows like "Land of the Lost" will have a far greater appreciation for this type of film.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peter Cushing was great in his role as Dr. Perry. It must have been a bizarre character to play, because there were so many aspects to it. His was a very complex character and he pulled it off well. David, who was played by Doug McClure, well, I mean, dude...it's Doug McClure.Whoopie.I mean the guy was likable enough,but he come across to what I imagined as David Innes.He made a better Bowen Tyler to be of if it was done Carson Napier. If you don't know what I'm talking about, watch any movie Doug McClure is in and you'll see the light. Dougie was born to act in these kinds of films.No Doug McClure needed to work and Amicus Productions had him there pay role. He lends just the right amount of cheese to the role while still being the tough guy. He ain't always the sharpest pencil in the box, but he somehow always seems to manage to survive and get the job done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A lot of things didn't make sense in this film, as is evidenced by the large number of items in the "What The Hell???" section, but it just didn't matter. They could have had the Monkees pop out of a cave wall and start singing "I'm A Believer" and it wouldn't have hurt this film one little bit. It's just fun to watch. It's got a lot of action, cheesy monsters, hot chicks, and Doug McClure. What more could you possibly ask for? Oh, and by the way, the "Mole" is one really cool piece of hardware. I think you'll like it.&lt;br /&gt;I could have asked something in the line of Star Wars-a bigger budget,not cheepo tv movie b movie drive crude budget and Indiana Jones action.Obviously they guy who reveiws this saw the movies and didn't the novels-which are better.Burrough,like Spielberg and Lucas understood action,adventure and giving the reader a fantastic setting for his characters to exist within.Amicus Production understood one Tarzan and Edgar Rice Burroughs sell-don't know why,but theres a buck to be made-hey Doug need a job-let roll film.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Doc Thompson&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;B-Movie Central's Rating: 5 Bees!&lt;br /&gt;nay give maybe two Bees and call a guilty pleasure and not Star Wars or Indiana Jones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Doc Thompson&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does the answer lie somewhere upon the bosom of the broad Sahara, at the end of two tiny wires, hidden beneath a lost cairn? I wonder. &lt;br /&gt;And will they do a sequire.No,that can't adapt the next two or three books,because they had me leave Dia-Dia,who the fuck this Dia ?I was supposed to meet Dian the Beautiful.But I met dingy british gal,with buck teeth,from those Doctor Phibes movies.&lt;br /&gt;PS.Wonder what Tarzan's doing.Probably hanging with Cheetah.&lt;br /&gt;David Innes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who the fucks Cheetah ?&lt;br /&gt;Tarzan.&lt;br /&gt;David Innes.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7311815918818015619-5844920784103618686?l=mavericcomicreader.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mavericcomicreader.blogspot.com/feeds/5844920784103618686/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mavericcomicreader.blogspot.com/2009/11/at-earths-core.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7311815918818015619/posts/default/5844920784103618686'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7311815918818015619/posts/default/5844920784103618686'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mavericcomicreader.blogspot.com/2009/11/at-earths-core.html' title='At the Earth&apos;s Core 1975'/><author><name>mavericstud1</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09599747392514063878</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_HDfaNL7MoEA/SIXb0LLd6xI/AAAAAAAAAGk/QX9xim9JzXM/S220/%2521cid%255F00f501c39008%2524055f5de0%252470701a43%2540youro0kwkw9jwc2%5B1%5D.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HDfaNL7MoEA/Su5QmkK5IlI/AAAAAAAAAT4/3HMAsS4VT-o/s72-c/earthcore5.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311815918818015619.post-8484151125839677127</id><published>2009-11-01T18:04:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-01T18:18:16.757-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Time Racers</title><content type='html'>Time Racers&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time Racers-was a proposed idea,about a supercar,think Knight Rider,that travel back in time,sort like the DeLorean,in Back to the Future.The car,a sleek black futuric racing car,called the Shadow Racer,something like mixing Speed Racer's Mach 5,with James Bond's Astin Martin,was pilotted by Marshall John Steel,his partner was Doctor Lazerus Sarkhon-a Time Sorcerer,attatched the project and a female.The car,equipted all sort of high gadgets,would be semi sentience,with an Artificial Intelligence,like Kitt.The three jump around time and space,by way of wormholes,to different places.&lt;br /&gt;This was sort Back to the Future-the series.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Maveric Entertainment Group.

Subterranean mag type train, capable of high speed transportation across the globe or around the inner surface or underground-neither-world of a or planet. These sub shuttle can be piloted anywhere within in the known or unknown worlds of Terra-Prime. The Invaders, who invaded much of the Great Land, where the many Shattered Empires of lie, have rerouted many of these tunnel systems. The Rangers have erected certain members to travel these sub shuttle tunnels to explore them and map location. Many of them lead to sub shuttle transit stations-where passengers can enter or exit the shuttle trains. Here at certain points, Special Cargo or Troop sub shuttles can load or unload cargo at these transit stations.&lt;br /&gt;    *&lt;br /&gt;    * Many of these Sub Shuttle Stations stop with the sub terrain sanctuary complexes known as New Genesis Bunkers. These part underground museum ,part shelter, part time capsule storage areas are created by the and used by many races, to protect and provide a sanctuary for a time during any worlds possible natural or artificial catastrophe. Used as a kind of Red Cross Disaster Relief station, generally built underground and located by various types of as New Genesis Bunkers Markers or Monolith-sometime found under a as New Genesis Bunkers Mountain structure, they are humanities way of beginning again-hence a kind of New Genesis or Origin for the local habitation and environment.&lt;br /&gt;    *  &lt;br /&gt;    * One of the most notable family or House Clans to use this sub shuttle system was the Family.as ..The other,is the Family-such as David and his descendant .&lt;br /&gt;    *&lt;br /&gt;    *        ==TTSA==&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * The Terra- Sub Transit System Authority- - an elaborate Sub-shuttle transit system was constructed by the citizens of Terra-Prime way back in it’s early day, when the first built this world. It was a way the inhabitants of the Sphere could travel around the inner world or neither world, without having to use other , such as star ships, planes, boats and so forth. These Sub shuttles were a rapid transport system that utilized most likely magnetic levitation transports. They operated inside tunnels that ran at hundreds of miles per hour and provided a crisscrossing network of tunnel way-some with like Jump Points connected other similar tunnel-ways to other parts of the Sphere... The tunnels were comprehensive enough to cover the entire globe of Terra Prime and were maintained by the robotic Sentry Repair droids of the Sub Transit System Authority-a system most self automated by robots, but also managed by robot workers. Not only is it super-fast, but it means it wouldn't take as much energy as other kinds of transport.&lt;br /&gt;    * After the First Great Cataclysm, the Legendary , who founded the Rangers-who maintain peace among the Lands of the Shattered Empire, also had the Rangers pilot these Sub Shuttles –explore those Sub Transit Tunnel System for any Under dweller activity-those poor wretches, who inhabit the access tunnel maintain stations and underground complex areas, once used to provide shopping malls and entertainment malls, for passengers of the transit system. These had become an underground kind of piracy, who traveled about in Sub Shuttles to raid other near by cities and if possible the local New Genesis Bunkers. These Rangers-often called Tunnel Stalkers by the , would also explore and map new sub tunnel ways as they patrolled the transit system.&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[edit] 1 ==The Underdwellers==&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * The Underdwellers who still live within the tunnels, have over decades sprayed all sort of ruin like graffiti symbols all over certain parts of the tunnel system, as either a guide to their own Pirate Guild to read or a warning system for other Tunnel Pirate Clans to read and stay away from their territory. These , like many pirates have own Code of Conduction, Condition of Piracy and so for the. Many Pirates are made up anyone, whom fled to the Underground or neither world of Terra Prime. Some clans can be made up of Terran Species, such as standard , , , or . Some are even made up of deserters, or refugees.&lt;br /&gt;    * During the Great Invasion, the -from to his son Captain use the Sub Shuttle transit system, as a means to travel around the , without the knowledge of the , who cannot detect them, because the Guider Gem headband technology masks the alien bugs telepathic probing. To counter with the Masters often hijack the robotic Sentry Repair droids and use special probes, based on Technology to invade the tunnel droids Central AI or Artificial Intelligence Control Cortex. This reprograms the Sentry into a slave of the Hegemony and act as its slave worker. Now the Sentry becomes an unwilling spy and soldier of the Empire-hunting enemy targets, capturing more human and non human slave for the Empire. The Sentry will often either lie in hiding, pretending to be making repairs to one of the tunnels many maintains systems and use its on board sensor probes to locate any possible enemy traffic moving through the Sub Transit System. The Sentry will attempt to either crush the sub shuttle train moving through the tunnel, with it’s deadly worker tentacles or attempt invade the shuttle craft, by various means-ripping apart it’s outer hull, injecting it with some sort of corroding agent to dissolve the crafts outer steel hull and use probes to invade the shuttles systems or attempt to reach the shuttles pilot and capture him or her, with it’s tentacle claws. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[edit] 2 ==Sub Shuttle-SST 7319.A==&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    *&lt;br /&gt;    * a Sub Shuttle Transport,is a standard,single transport vehicle,with two compartments in front,the pilots cockpit area and sub shuttle tunnel navigation station area to both sides,which contains mission operations,navigation and helm consoles.Four ,swiveling coaches-complete with gravity harness-that negates gravity forces against the passengers,as the shuttle moves forward,one for pilot and co=pilot,in front and two behind-one for the Navigator Officer on one side and opposite one for the Mission Ops Helm Officer.Behind this is the Cargo Hold,which subs as a briefing Ready Room,dinning area/Galley,Prisoners Brig and Cargo area.Behind this is The Troop Carrier or Secondary Cargo Hold,which can used as the Crews quarters,since the Coaches,can be converted into temporary sleeping beds,for the crew to use.Behind this is the Engine Room,where the Auxiliary Engine is located,to power and move the shuttle in an emergency,when mango rail system is damaged or destroyed and cannot provide power to the shuttle train. Sub Shuttle.&lt;br /&gt;    *&lt;br /&gt;    * == ===Gravity Harness Systems=== == &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * Harness restraint system&lt;br /&gt;    *  or Coach Gravity Harness System&lt;br /&gt;    *&lt;br /&gt;    * An improved harness restraint system for a vehicle seat occupant which includes a unique single-point release device having laterally spaced connectors for attachment of shoulder harness straps. The system also includes an improved harness belt system employing a cross-chest belt configuration as well as a gross adjustment feature for -adjusting the harness assembly straps to substantially approximate the occupant. The new system also provides diverging lower restraint belts which encircle each leg of the occupant for anti-gravity and crash restraint. The single-point release device also includes an automatic release mechanism which is activated in a water or vacuum environment.The Gravity Harness,also uses selected anti force field technology-using fields,structural integrity fields and such.Like the , Rangers Tunnel Stalkers believe in many backup systems,to protect the user ,in case an emergency and sort of back power failure. Rangers also wear Anti gravity Jackets,incorporated into their pilot and combat gear,to assist the gravity harness,during movement and sudden .&lt;br /&gt;    * Several pistols, a few rifles, and other assorted weaponry hidden behind a wall-panel behind the map at one end of the railway car. Various transport Cargo and Troop Carrier cars can be added if needed,by train umbilical cords and passenger corridor access points,fitted to each train front and back-or bow and aft sections.&lt;br /&gt;    * Anti-Gravity Systems Gravity on board a vessel is maintained at 1.0 G (Terran Normal) by the AG systems. The AG systems are tunable, so that internal gravity may be varied from 0 to 4 G's. The Anti-Gravity system also contains artificial-intelligence (AI) software, so that all accelerations up to a 1000 G's are automatically compensated for (accelerations of this order of magnitude may occur when going from sub-pulse to pulse speeds). Nanobot Maintenance Systems Sub Shuttle Trains maintain a suite of nanobots for repairing hardware. These nanobots are sub-microscopic robots with molecular level encoding for specific tasks. At the completion of any task, the nanobots revert to silicon dust (inert). The nanobots are generated by using the nanobot generator or Nanobot banks), located in the Engineering work spaces. Navigational Sub-Systems Navigational sub-systems consist of dishes located on the exterior of the vessel, the control station on the bridge, and all op ti-conducting systems between them. The maintenance of the navigational holographic image projection systems (), and all intelligent signal processing software, is also the responsibility of Engineering. Sensor Sub-Systems Sensor, or scanner, sub-systems consist of two types: (a) active, and (b) passive. Active systems can be detected by the target; passive systems are non-intrusive, cannot be detected by the target, and rely on emissions or disturbances caused by the target. Note that cloaking of the target (generally) negates passive sensors. Due to their highly classified nature, sensor systems are not discussed further in this document. (see Systems Ratings) Communications Sub-Systems Communications uses photon or tachyon pulses, which contain highly compressed and (in official use) encrypted text. The compression and encryption techniques are based on chaotic theory. Engineering is responsible for maintaining the comm systems in optimum condition (transmitters, receivers, , and all associated connections). Weapons Delivery Systems The weapons delivery systems on each vessel are all automatic. However, regular functionality checks are carried out by Engineering. Also, Missile and Pulse Cannon tracking systems (software and hardware) are maintained by the Shuttle Engineer. Life-Support Systems There are ten oxygen conversion systems located throughout the sub shuttle-because the outside sub shuttle transit system is a complete vacuum and emergency catwalk,is only flooded with oxygen at standard station platforms and emergency situations.The Sub Shuttles need to provided with a complete habitable environment inside and not rely on any external environment to provide a breathable atmosphere outside. Only five are needed to replenish the oxygen for a full complement of personnel; the others are backup. These systems all have independent power sources (superconducting cells) - in cases of dire emergency, power from these cells may be diverted to the vessel's defensive grid. Back-Up Power Systems Back-up power systems (used in the event of a pulse core failure or power down) consist of two inverter-generators with superconducting storage cells. These use natural resources (e.g., waste) to produce small amounts of power; this power is stored in the cells, and can be used to generate 20 minutes of maneuvering power. In dire emergencies, power from the back-up systems can be diverted to the vessel's defense grid. External/Internal Cohesion Fields Systems To counteract the forces encountered while engaging the propulsion systems, each vessel is equipped with both an External and Internal Cohesion Field. These fields, created by specific field generators, use internal power to divert forces exerted without and within the shuttle train that would normally tear the ship apart, and compensate for inertial effects within the shuttle, to maintain a sense of normal gravity. When functioning ideally, no forces would be noticeable while engaging the entire range of the drive systems.&lt;br /&gt;    * Tunnel Stalkers sub-shuttle could get you near your destination sometime, since not all cities and towns have a Sub Shuttle Transport Station. Thus at those times, a Ranger, such as Captain must rely on the two Spikes-semi sentient speeder bikes, that are kind of like motor cycle horses to your destinations, thus giving you some travel time. These are intelligent, in the way, that can respond to its users verbal and mental commands if he or she, wears a telepathic guider gem, to transmit mental commands to the Spike cycle. Spikes can also equipped with sorts of weapons, from smoke canisters to mini rocket missile or grenade launchers. The Spike has Left and right forward firing rocket launchers with heat seeking missiles. Dual smoke screen dispensers. Rear firing dual flame throwers with an 80 yard range and two side Oil slick dispenser’s .Spikes also have a mini sensor array to located possible targets and scout the upcoming terrain. So if you encounter any hostiles, like a Spider Walker or Spider , the Ranger, such as can handle him quite well with trusty Spike Comanche 5000, as his companion.&lt;br /&gt;    * Rangers, often carry a variety of paraphernalia and weapons, on their multi exploration and tunnel patrol missions. Rangers wear a kind of light combat fatigues that also acts as limited battle armor. Over this is the Combat Weapons twine bandoleer, which holds their ammo cartage's and other field items. At the center of this is a small, limited deflector field circular shield, that emits a small, personal force field around the wearers chest area, to deflect bullets and other propelled projectiles. Short swords and long knives can pastorate this field in close personal hand to hand combat. Over this is a Combat Utility vest that acts as Additional combat armor and means to carry other items, with the garments pockets. The back is heavy armored with force field deflector generators and trauma plates. Standard military pants are worn below, with heavy military style combat boots. Bayonets, is worn upon one shin area of the boot and a Stun baton is worn, within a scabbard upon the other. A second larger Stun Combat baton is worn over the upper thigh, usually opposite the Navy Colt model number 355a.&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[edit] 3 ==Weapons==&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * The Stun Combat baton, is a long hand weapon, resembling a standard samurai sword handle, with a long silver, rotating metal rod, about 11 inches, that can ejected from the handle. by a control stud on the side and drawn by a quick jerk of the users wrist. It can withdraw the same way. The stun rod shaped device approx. 20.32 cm in length (excluding handle) which stimulates the pain or pleasure centers of the recipient's brain through the use of sonics. No physical damage is caused by the Stun rod’s effect. The Stun Combat baton circuitry includes multiple transformers batteries located within the control handle, components that boost the voltage in the circuit, typically to between 20,000 and 150,000 volts, and reduce the amperage. It also includes an oscillator, a component that fluctuates current to produce a specific pulse pattern of electricity. The Stun baton was developed in the final days of the Great First Cataclysm to control enemy of war troops and enemy criminals among civilian populations. It was based on similar type devices used by the Elder Races, such as the , in their ancient times for similar uses. The Stun Combat baton is regarded as a symbol of honor, and confers dignity. among the Rangers if used properly and correctly. The weapon is worn within a leather scabbard, like a knife or small sword. It has been known effect against enemy opponents during close combat to subdue them being taken prisoner for questioning. or Military Police used them against drunken or violent soldiers, to subdue them for transport to jail. The Stun Combat baton has also been known to shock the tentacles of enemy Sentry robots, attacking a Ranger Sub Shuttle. The larger Stun Baton has Internal mechanisms allow the cable to be neatly wound and unwound, while a powerful spring launches the grapnel. The handle can be straightened for use when throwing. The club can also be split into two parts, one of which is a fighting baton, the other of which ends in a curved hook. This Grappling hook can be used to catapult a long Bucky cable that can used wrap around objects, for capture or used to swing the user high above over someones head or swing about like a human spider. The Rangers learn extreme accuracy when throwing his club, and can hit multiple enemies with ricochets. This club can set also to stun someone or something, while thrown.&lt;br /&gt;    *&lt;br /&gt;    * This club can set also to stun someone or something, while thrown.&lt;br /&gt;    * The Sub Shuttle can be piloted by remote control to a specific location, as long as it travels toward its route. The shuttle will, even if need be follow it’s master, the Ranger/Tunnel Stalker around, until he or she can reach it at a specific Sub Transit System station-as long as it avoids all other Cargo ,passenger or troop shuttles.&lt;br /&gt;    * Using advanced technologies, the sub shuttles can reach speeds of 300 to 5,000 mph (500 to 8,000 km/h) are envisioned. The sub shuttle transit system entail building lines through evacuated (air-less) tunnels... The lack of air resistance could permit to move at extremely high speeds, up to 6000-8000 km/h (4000-5000 mph or Mach 5-6), provided nothing interferes with the shuttle trains progress. such as a breach in the tunnel, under an ocean, allowing water or a cave in by the tunnel way walls. In an event, the sub shuttle tunnel, encounters a cave in or beach of the outside environment, the shuttles anti collision sensors will detect the oncoming trouble area and begin to slow the train by the shuttles AI auto pilot. Deflector Shields will also automatically snack on, from the Sub Shuttles Deflector Shield Emitters. This clear out any debris found up ahead, as the shuttle moves forward at half speed. In an event, the sub shuttle cannot stop, the pilot can take over control of the shuttle and order ramming speed or maximum speed, to crash through the debris area-provided their wreckage area, is not too heavy to plough through.&lt;br /&gt;    * Generally, the Sub Transit System twine tunnels-one going one direction and another going in the opposite direction to provide enough traffic to and from a specific sub shuttle transit route. In an emergency, an auxiliary sub shuttle tunnel is found to transfer a sub shuttle train, in the event, there is some sort of malfunction with the Sub Shuttle Transit Traffic Control and two oncoming trains occupy the same track. The sub shuttle is reroute to the third rail way, so it can avoid any possible collision upward within the tunnel way.&lt;br /&gt;    * The tunnel uses massive vacuum pumps, to remove air, so the sub shuttle can travel at 5,000 mph per hour and avoid any basic air resistance. Huge Utility conduits, many filled air, for small human repair works to survey personally, the 3,100 power cables, that power the tunnel rails. These lead to larger work stations, to help inspect the tunnels watertight and vacuum-tight gasket outer skin. Constructed with stainless steel, with layers of super buoyant foam, often need inspection by humanoid androids or humans, especially ,since the tunnels can damaged by Sentry activity. Large, long windows can be found along, underwater tunnel ways, so passengers can view the ocean depths and undersea lifeforms found there. These tunnels, anchored by huge tethers, more 100,000 of these to hold the undersea tunnels in place. The tunnels float about 150 feet below the ocean surface to avoid undersea traffic ,such as with Submarine traffic, in and are pressurized to help maintain standard equilibrium between outside and inside environments, plus swaying while under the sea. Certain areas of the Sub Transit System also contain emergency shelter areas, which can be used by passengers trapped within the tunnel by a tunnel collapse at either or both ends. These like the abandoned Sub Transit System concourse and underground shopping malls, are used by inhabitants. Some of these areas contains Emergency Shelter areas, that can provide Time Vault-area, created by the , as place equipment, artifacts, storage material are preserved. These Vaults contain food and clothe Replicators, that provide food, drink and other items like clothing, to used by anyone, who can gain access to this area. Sometimes the Tunnel Stalkers will use area as an emergency place for clothe, food and shelter, of a Sub Shuttle is trapped within the tunnel or damaged. These area also provide Ranger field rations or Meals Ready to Eat ( M.R.E’s)-a is a self-contained, individual field ration in lightweight packaging procured by many military organization. Each meal provides approximately 1,200 Calories (1,200 or 5,000 ).
