Snip:

"
Ka-Lita (Kah-lita) was regretting her previous command , Sobani Battlecruiser 'Royale' was now hanging in a 45 degree bank as the opposing Movers clung to her side. She was being pulled down into Hiigara, the entire battlecruiser - forced into sinking beneath the clouds.

 A vibration could be felt, followed by various screams or metal twisting, warping and grinding against each other, mixed with the sound of the graviton flotation and inertia dampers on her port side whining as they struggle to counteract the drag of the Progenitor Movers. Something was surely about to break!

 And surely it did , the puffy scenery outside the bridge viewports now polluted with death and an aerial battlefield that belonged some were else, suddenly swung... the battlecruiser sat at a 90 degree bank now...

 "Graviton Thrusters have failed on the port si......" the Engineering Officer didnt get to finish his report, the bridge crew were flung  across the room, followd by a delayed explostion. Ka-Lita hit the startboard consoles - had she fallen up? Away from Hiigara's earth.
 She flails for something to grab before 'true' gravity returns to the deck.
 "NO!" she screams as Hiigara's gravity grabs her instead of the artificial gravity, she is slammed against the another consol on the port side of the bridge...
"
 .. from the prototype to 'Prologue'


Prologue will use a similar Battlecruiser as seen in HW2: ( Explando )

Kick-ass extract to tease us with. Am really impressed by the 1st diagram (the one in the grid view).

[codiemorgan]

 Who is ready to see the first 3D model of the Vaygre Fighter ( completely modular ) from the Progenitor-Nirai era?

 It is finished ( and ready for some interchangable parts )....


 ... it means my ships and fighters in my manga will be 3D models, while the characters and objects, will all be hand drawn and inked.

[NeoN]

Man, that is so awesome. Totally reminds me of VanDread.

Expando's

Hiigara Mover (Tow)  - Based on a Progenitor Mover , somewhat a mix between a Corvette Class ship and a Drone Utility...

The Variational attachments that I have not completed yet are:
- ECM and Countermeasures Attachments ( clips to rear behind the winglets )
- Anti-Fighter Minelayer : Flak Mines - 2 Parts on left, Stabilizer on right ( Strake replaces with Storage Tube )
- Interceptor Attachments ( Additional thrusters/boosters ) Clips behind winglets ( ECM cannot be used with these )
- Missile Fighter Attachments ( replaces Strake only )
- Scouting ( Sensor Array ) Attachments ( replaces MG  packs only , and adds a stabilizer )

^ -- which means this fighter isn't complete yet ( And so many more needed in fighters and ships )

[NeoN]

Recognize a couple of them from rAge. ^^

Haven't seen your work on FB, so am glad to see you put them up here for us. Totally awesome, the effort put into each peace.

 Draft to Kah-Lita:  ( The girl in the story snippet above )

 If you want a better idea of her personality : Hint = She is Sobani Descent under Hiigara, a direct descendant of the Kushan Sobani Leader [hw1] ( he was Captain Soban in HW2 )She heas some political power of note, and shares the same personality and mindset.. and is only 17...

 A Taiidan Buzzfighter Concept ( Remnants , they are linked to Vaygre somewhat )...
 [expando]http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs827.snc4/68794_10150105108984692_756189691_7525287_1333692_n.jpg[/expando]

 A Taiidan ( Junkfighter ) Concept ...

 A unreliable and low cost mass production for the diminished and weak Taiidan Empire loyal survivors. Taiidan Republic ships will not exist ( because by the time of HW2, the republic had finally died as they were unable to continue surviving under their pressure from the Empire Military remnants during and after the Cataclysm era ) the Taiidan Homeworld is under protection of the Vaygre in my Nirai-Era concept...

Awesome idea to tie in Soban from HW1, brought back some sweet memories.

I wont use a expando on this one:

 ^^ Chapter 1: Welcome To Hiigara, the fringe... ( or something like it )

 Now, you can start guessing why a Vaygre ( HW2 Concept Art logo version, not in-game ) Flag is there behind her...


 It still needs to be edited into the C1 Opening Page to Prologue... Will probably include a Vaygre / Hiigara fighter behind her... a logo of sorts .. etc

 So... Vaygre Pilot, Vaygre Flag -> Hiigara..... and they are not here to fight... this time...



Carrying on:

 ^-- Was the first idea for the C1 Opening Page..... the ship would have been replaced with the model render .... but that idea was dropped...

 ^-- Unnamed character who has been unnamed for a long time.... however, this design isnt good....


 Edit:  I found a usefull refernce from RelicNews forums:
[expando]http://home.comcast.net/~norsehound/GiantHWMapDemo1.jpg[/expando]

 This is a maps during the HW2 era - marking the territories....   the Vaygre gained ove 7X their own size...  they are actually smaller in "Legitimatly Owned" territories than even the Taiidan Empire

 Note: The Taiidan Republic no longer exists... the Empire Loyals have regained their own homeworld, and remain unfriendly towards Hiigara.... forever.

[NeoN]

The chick holding the flag, in the 1st piccie, doesn't look happy at all - sets a very "Doom and Gloom" vibe. >_<

[codiemorgan]

 Yeah , Most Vaygre characters are likely to be very pissed off, The drones landed up in their territories first. And then they turn towards hiigara for help.... in return 'supplying' hiigara with additional firepower.

 Nomadic Race , Vaygre, a large portion had moved right into the Karos Graveyard, in order to gain HW2 era Progenitor technologies ( which is what Hiigara was doing as well ).

 However, half of the Vaygre race as a whole are wiped out before they turned towards their former enemies for help. Many also making jumps to the Freern Aggregate ( the former Rivals to the Taiidan Empire )....

 Look at it this way:
 Frerrn = United States
 Taiidan Empire = USSR ( yes, Soviet )
 Hiigara/Kushan = Singapore
 Vaygre = WW2 Japan in 'Nomadic Mode'... ( think about their huge fleet )

 HW2 Frerrn = still USA like, but minding it's own bussiness in the Vaygre Wars, being out of reach of the Vaygre Reaches

 HW2 Hiigara =  Hawai during Pearl Harbor, but with a better counter action plan

 HW2 Vaygre = USSR invading Iraq ( 1980's )

 Progenitor Drones:  Maintaining and defending what remains of their ships, with one intentional assault against the Pride of Hiigara ( were the Bentusi gave up their last ship, and went extinct to save Hiigara )

 now

 Nirai Era:
 Frerrn : no change but taking action against Progenitors, being farthest away from the war, they send there fleets through Hiigara to take on the Progenitor Drones
 Vaygre : made the mistake of being in the galaxy core at the time the Drone began their unknown assault, and retreat into Hiigara - bing fired upon initially by Hiigara as well  - as Hiigara would see it as a Vaygre assault at first.

 Taiidan: (Empire Remnants)  Retreat in about 5 directions : Hiigara and 'through' it to the Turanic territories, as well as into known Vaygre territories in the far east.

 Taiidan: (Republic) - dead

 Hiigara: Confused due the various races suddenly taking very aggressive actions, directly though their territory, since they are the closes to the core.

 Progenitors: Under shear choice, a more modern an advanced series of movers/drones/keepers/others make an assault on the entire galaxy, obviously supplied and re-enforced by 'somthing big, somewere'. They are comming from somewhere [unseen] in the core, and have large enough numbers to take on the whole galaxy.

 Initially using internal sump methods to assault factions closes to the core, they also end up using the HW2 gates identified in HW2 to assault the entire galaxy.

 Note: in Prologue, ( almost  )  everyonewill die.... the timeline will be after the 'Age of S'Jet' - end of the 1000 years of peace identified in HW2.

 There are also some journal references i created for historical backlogging...

This snippet comes form a 13 paragraph journal page written out by a Hiigaran battlecruiser commander 10 years after the Hiigarans had defeated the Vaygre, early in the Age of S'Jet, i intend to use various snips if the historical journals as past references and comments relevant with the 'present' events. They are based on heavy studying of the HW timeline and events, to draw up these conclusions. I will have verious journal pages written for various portions of the timeline leading up to the Nirai Era.

Snippet 1: Referring to the events taking place before HW1, when Hiigara was a dangerous and power hungry race, the 'downfall' reference was Hiigara being defeated by the Bentusi [to 'fake' giving up their own core] when trying to bypass the disarmament act of the counsel. The 'triumpth' is a reference to the Hyperspace Core, which they hid on the angel moon, and smuggled aboard 'the Sajuk Khar' when they were exiled by the Taiidan - to Kharak, leading up to HW1 story over 2000 years later.

"
The Great Hyperspace core, in the bellows of 'Sajuks Wrath', was Hiigara's greatest downfall. Yet it was also our greatest tiumph. Just as we have seen in the sands of 'our' time, there are great consequences for all great discovories in this region. We are living proof of that. The mystery of the Progenitor Race has been our key for survival and learning for all this time, and now it suddenly comes to a close - we still have no complete knowledge of the Projenitors that came before us. We have failed to produce a reasonable and realistic - yet accurate conclusion to the matter.
"

Snippet 2: using the WH dating systems. References to Naggarok ( HW:Cataclysm ) comming from another galaxy. This paragraph in the same journal page suggests that Progenitor drones can 'come and go ' as the please, and in a way, are likely to be active in another galaxy.

"
We are completly certain that life can, and probably exists beyone the reaches of our galaxy - NAGGAROK was a testament to that. This took place somewere up over One million years ago, approximatly around 1000000BHL, and the progenitor mothorship breaking up at the estimated date of 9885BHL, with no date or kown reference to adentify when they arrived, and were they came from, but it is certain an empire was established by the Progenitors before dissapearing and leaving their drones behind.
"


 Captain Erin : Navy Battlcruiser BC4897-8, In the awakening of the 'Age of S,Jet'.
 Written: 125 AHL (9635 GSY) - 10 years after the [HW2] Vaygre War  [ in 115 AHL (9625 GSY)]

so heres a reference:

8294 GSY = 0 KDS
0 KDS = 1216 BHL - ( meaning 1216 years before the Kushan reclaim Hiigara)
0 KDS = 8294 GSY - Kushan Dating System
0 AHL = 9510 GSY - the year Hiigara was reclaimed by the Kushan
0 BHL = 9510 GSY

10 AHL = -10BHL ( 10 years after negative number ) , BHL counter stops at zero, and counts 'down' to the AHL
so 10BHL = 20 years before -10BHL(10AHL)
 ^ Identical to Earth's BC and AD acronyms

0 BHL = 0 AHL
(before Homeworld Landing [by Kushan Hiigarans] and After Homeworld Landing )
 I am preparing  HW dating calculator in .net: simple , but will prevent dating errors.

Nirai era [Nirai S'Jet] ( and the Progenitor invasion ) starts approximately 1000 years  after the Vaygre War, making BOTH the[ HW2] prophesied 'End Times' and the 'Thousand Years of Peace [of [Karen] S'Jet]' a reality. In the end - the End Times aren't by being defeated by the Vaygre in HW2, but instead =  at the end of the 1000 years of peace = 'The End Times'.

 Primarily, I will be using the BHL and AHL dating systems for this concept, and only GSY  when a far more ancient approximation is neaded.

 There is no known 'Monthly' dating system. So I will be doing this to compensate:
 Year 115 AHL - Month 6 (out of 12.40)  - day 5 (out of 30.00)

[ ^-- the math includes allows a basic leap year but leaves out all other variables, all months are 30 days,
but every 4 years there are 11 months instead of 12 ]
 Resulting in AHL 0115-06-05 ( preg = 'YYYY-MM-DD' ) , 18:34H (06:34PM)

 Small time ( Hours, and smaller, will use Earth based clone)

[NeoN]

"0 BHL = 0 AHL
(before Homeworld Landing [by Kushan Hiigarans] and After Homeworld Landing )"

Quick question... When exactly was this event (HW Landing) - I've only played HW1 and HW: Cataclysm. Thanks.

[codiemorgan]

 0 AHL is right after you finish HW1 - after M14. HW; Cataclysim is in the years shortly after HW1.

 Its basically the year that the Kushan Exiles took back Hiigara - from the Taiidan Empire.

 I have finished my final design for  two of the Nirai-Era Hiigaran Ensignias last night:

Hiigara:

What do the four circles/planets represent in the Hiigaran design?

[codiemorgan]

 The top circle represents the Angel Moon , wich orbits Hiigara. The name is why you see a shape like wings with feathers.

 in HW2 you do battle near it,

 The bottom center circle is Hiigara, and is also the second race to gain a Hyperspace core ( which is why they were exiled, for almost obliterating the Taiidans and for attacking the Bentusi )

 The ones on the right and left represent the other two races that had the other two cores: Vaygre and Bentusi.
 
 The vaygre were trying to gain all 3 cores, wich is why Hiigara was attacked in HW2.

 Hiigara gained the Bentusi core when they sacrificed themselves to the Progenitor Seekers as the seekers could not be destroyed  conventionally - they self dstructed the Bentusi harbor ship and left their core to Hiigara.

  Hiigara gained the 3rd core when they (against outnumbering odds, imagine 2 battlecruisers versus 10) defeated Makaan.

 The 3 cores together were places in the Projenitor Sajuuk, which has a huge cannon, to defend the homeworld.
