• 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.

History

Ice-Crawler is a generic term for a range of articulated 8x8 vehicles developed from ice-exploration vehicles originally used in the arctic and Antarctic areas on Earth. While originally configured for long term exploration of areas in extreme cold they would eventually be updated to better accommodate the hostile wildlife of Kitezh. By 2320 many of the hulls are decades old, having been constantly maintained in the freezing temperatures of Kitezh.

The Ice Crawler was designed for the icey climate of Kitzeh, and for long duration missions without support. Its oversized tires provide sufficient buoyancy to float, allowing it to cross dangerous thin ice areas and the Hybrid electric drive system allows the vehicle to refill its batteries off just about any combustible fluid, oil, biofuel, solar energy, or microwave-energy-transmission.

Internally there is enough space for 4 people to comfortably live and work including small bunks, galley, and workspace. The rear section of the craft is sectioned off from the front by a heavy airlock style door which allows the rear section of the vehicle to be isolated off from the front in the event that the crew wants to carry dangerous samples or allow possibly-infected people onboard in a quarantine like fashion.
