• Nobles of Null is a forum based roleplay site where sci-fi and magic collide. Here, Earth remains fractured and divided despite humanity reaching out to the stars. Worse still, the trans-human slaves of one major power have escaped, only to establish their own Empire, seething with resentment at abuses of the past. Even the discovery of aliens, though medieval in development, has failed to rally these squabbling children of Earth together with its far darker implications. Worse still, is the discovery of the impossible - magic. Practiced by the alien locals, nearly depleted and therefore rare, its reality warping abilities remains abstract and distant to the general populace. All the while, unseen in the darkness of space, forces from without threaten to press in. For those with eyes opened by insight, it is clear that an era is about to end, and that a new age will dawn.

    Warship Roles

    For the HFR, most of these roles will be filled by their logistics frigates, cruisers, and escort corvettes. Depending on the area, these vessels will be stripped of much of their armaments to reduce upkeep costs, the extra hull space available for peacetime functions. The HFR cruisers aren't...

    First Contact - Li Ming Deep Space

    Everyone onboard the marine frigate and the science vessel were growing increasingly nervous. 138 was communicating, and now the scientists knew enough of the language to understand that it sent out coordinates. More small satellites were deployed from the Weilai, this time pointing away from...

    First Contact - Li Ming Deep Space

    The communication between the clusters were recorded, preserved, and passed to xeno-linguists on the Weilai, Jing, and Zhuque. For several days, human and Aos Si scientists struggled to find patterns in the data, commonly used phrases. Chunks of the language were divided, separated into what...

    First Contact - Li Ming Deep Space

    There were always theories of technorganic species, which combined living flesh and metallic machinery into one working system. In a way, humans were technorganic themselves, plastering their bodies with inorganic tools to improve productivity. The structures here, alien as they were, seemed to...

    The Remapening of Earth

    It'd be a tremendous loss for the URC, a major humiliation. Tibet is the source of the two major rivers that served as the lifeblood of the nation, now under foreign control. Still, it's a necessary sacrifice: by the time the URC was forming and democratizing, it simply did not have the...

    First Contact - Li Ming Deep Space

    A sample of the fluid was quickly sent up to be viewed under a microscope, the creatures deconstructed using nanotools, then placed inside incubators for cultivation, all under hushed whispers of excitement and several inches of reinforced, transparent aluminum. Meanwhile, as the hole grew...

    First Contact - Li Ming Deep Space

    After waiting 24 hours, with no further response from 138, command to the drone was given. It drilled deeper into the object, the hole expanding to the width of a thumb, bringing up more debris for analysis, while also lowering a sensor probe inside to take a variety of measurements. Samples...

    The Remapening of Earth

    I've been watching some modern military strategy videos, thinking about a diminished mainland China on Earth. Here's a map of said diminished China. It would have to rely heavily on AU support to rebuild as it rebuilds its government and military, turning its military into a small, lean force...

    First Contact - Li Ming Deep Space

    The Mantian, a Dasan-class marine frigate, loaded with the Kongjian team Hongyun (Red Cloud), along with two asteroid-busting missiles, loaded coilguns, and additional supplies and scientific equipment, flew to a 1 light-second orbit around 138. It escorted the Zheng Weilai (Master the Future)...

    First Contact - Li Ming Deep Space

    After weeks of observation from afar, a pod containing six probes were launched from Jing towards 138. They would arrive within a week, spreading out in orbit around the object, pinging it on a multitude of electromagnetic frequencies, scanning the surface terrain and probing deeper beneath...

    First Contact - Li Ming Deep Space

    2319 Li Ming System interplanetary space, between Xianglong and Qiling orbit LM-LX-00138 was a seemingly ordinary interstellar object hurling itself deeper into the system, its trajectory expected to fling it back out within a couple of decades. Originally, it was identified as a dirty rock...

    I smell... NERDS

    Hey AJ, I'm always up for JP's. Hit me up with a character concept and I'll help put you into either an existing plot or just start a new one entirely.

    Day in the Life: Escape from the Heavenly State

    "Old human culture is weird, and stupid." Wen raised an eyebrow, taking his hiking stick, skewering one of the zombies into the ground. "Some of it anyways." He pulled the overly decorated rifle out of the zombie Jun pinned to the ground. "Needless to say, something like this would injure the...

    Day in the Life: Escape from the Heavenly State

    More Cashmeres surrounded Hoshiko, curiously nibbling at the outer labeling of the cans. Wen couldn't help but snort, looking up and down Hoshiko, then stood up to walk over to her. It was only now, in this casual setting, that he realized he towered over his superior by more than two heads. The...

    Daqin-HFR War

    To summarize thus far, interstellar campaigns present nigh-impossible logistical hurdles to overcome if the defender is of similar strength. Past military campaigns have revealed key insights on how to overcome or bypass such hurdles: 1) Degrade the defender's military leadership to paralyze...

    Daqin-HFR War

    Shenzhou Military Academy, Huwang Department of Strategy and Tactics Dr. Wang Jianshan 23220206 With the arrest of Zhuli Number Four, who the Daqinren dub "the Mother Empress", war with the Daqin Empire is eminent. Reconnaissance from the Pingqiong System is muddy, specifics indiscernible...

    The Remapening of Earth

    Right, it'd be post-Zhongzhi. Think it might be one of the hidden concessions that Cao Guang (the entrepreneur from the Taiwan province) gave to the AU, that the two Koreas would be united again at some point. The mainland would have trouble keeping it under its complete domination anyways after...

    The Remapening of Earth

    A hot take: North Korea and South Korea actually unify into Korea, and just like how CANZUK double dips into the AU and the CW for their interstellar expansion needs, this new united Korea double dips into the HFR and the AU.

    Day in the Life: Escape from the Heavenly State

    In his own reality bubble, Wen hummed to himself as he walked up a grassy hill. The sky was a clear, bright blue, the grasslands rich and green, spanning to distant mountains that were always out of reach, craggy, grey, solemn and assuring, great earthly titans that anchored the sky to the...
