Unbound (Homeworld/Mass Effect)

Not gonna lie, I honestly thought it'd be the petite little fat-bottomed Turian pixie that people would get thirsty over. Clearly, I have failed to read my audience.

No doubt that that was one hell of a 20th birthday party for Not-So-Lil' Faegan and her cousins, one that still gets talked up every family reunion.
On this forum? Clearly it was the muscles and interest in large, powerful, and unusual weaponry.

Also, your post is funnier when those two replies end up combined, as you can see above.

Genuine criticism here: you absolutely did fail to convey any of Cloe's physical stature beyond the hip jokes.
I suggest rereading and seeing how you managed to spread out the physical description details so far apart that the first clue I had to the above description was the sudden hip jokes.

With Faegan, you had all the descriptive details introduced in one paragraph, and then had scattered expansions on the details.

Cloe didn't have a dedicated paragraph, because you broke it up horribly with the badly placed musings about her origins.

It'll take some rejiggering to make it flow properly if you do fix it though.

Actually, I think I'm gonna go back and do some editing. I somehow overlooked it because I was at first agreeing with some edits to avoid overemphasizing parts of Cloelia's body but at some point I think I may have dropped the ball.
 
Wait, dozen mothership-class vehicles?
Kinda hope the Turians get their teeth royally kicked-in some more before this is settled... Also kinda wish that Tela had freaked at least some about the comment of the Hiigarans traveling Galaxies.

Well, unless sanity and/or diplomacy breaks out, there's definitely a xeeleestomp incoming.

Since Tela will likely be aboard an Asari ship by the time that stomp lands on the Turians, and Asari ships look radically different from Turian ships, odds are she'll have her chance for a 'wait, wat' moment regarding that galaxies comment. The Turians are likely completely out of time, however.

There's also the fact that Faegan is a mashup of Faye Reagan, who was a particularly popular pornographic star a few years ago. So... uh... yeah, the name clearly flipped a switch in the older readers of the site.

Edit: Not gonna lie, now that that's been pointed out to me I'm desperately hoping that you're the only one to make that particular association. :lol2::rofl2:
Edit2: Also I went back and added some content to clarify just what Cloelia looks like, and why by Turian standards her appearance might be considered a medical condition, not just a fluke of genetics.

In my head, there's a certain degree of physical conformity that is expected of the typical Turian when they enlist at fifteen, similar to how the US military assesses an enlistee but more severe.

Any American who's been to Basic Training probably knows what I'm trying to say. In Cloelia's case, she's wicked short and just built wrong by Turian standards. Depending on how the feedback goes, I may adjust this part more (add more details, possibly make her shorter/ emphasize her small stature more, etc).

"That is Sajuuk?" Tela was proud of herself. Her voice didn't break. Not even when her eyes drifted to the even bigger thing that hovered just above that massive ship. "Then what the hell is that?" Tela pointed at the thing. Her mind refused to call it a ship. It couldn't be a ship. It had to be a space station or something… which was pretty terrifying all by itself. If Kanya's race could FTL a matron-fucking space station… The Spectre ended the thought rather than let it continue to its inevitable question, because she wasn't sure if she could handle asking it even in her own head.
Did they manage to repair the Progenitor Mothership?

They managed to piece together and to some degree repair, we have no idea how much the subsystems are online, the same ship that built the three hyperspace cores and dreadnought used in the game.
Pictured here:


You can see that they thing is a monster of ship with just the Dreadnought construction bay dwarfing the heaviest ships you can make. How useful it is in combat is more up for debate given we never see any weapon mounts but the armor should be thicker than all hell and more advanced besides.

it wouldn't be hard for the Hiigarans to stick a bunch of independent gun clusters on its hull and have them each use their own independent fusion reactor to power point defenses assault guns and ion cannons
 
Even in it doesnt have guns it is big enough that I'm fairly certain Citadel guns won't scratch it and it could probably hold more ships than there are naval personel in the current Citadel fleets, or it could just use its pure bulk to ram ships like bugs on a windshield

If you mean the ship you see in the Karo's graveyard? Then no way in hell. That thing was easily measured in AU (Astronomical Units)

Actually, the size of the Karos's Progenitor derelict is (here) 14 km long by 2.61 km tall, but only about three times the width of the Kushan Mothership/Pride of Hiigara. The only other ships that come remotely close to that in size is the cut Vagyr supercarrier Agamemnon at approximately 9.5 km, followed by the Great Harborship of Bentus at about 5.3 km.

The Progenitor Mothership is still an absolute unit of a ship though. Big old Chonky Boi. Ship for days.

Certainly, assuming the ship has anything like a core for power you can just take the main gun from the dreadnought design, plug it into the power grid, and mount them on turrets. When you have that much spare room on a spaceframe and crazy power generation why not go nuts with it? I mean imagine bolting on a thousand strong missile battery with the magazine capacity equal to internal volume of Turian Dreadnought. The Mothership would have room to mount several such batteries.
 
Cloelia Vote because I'm indecisive
Before u get some sleep so I can be up for work in the morning, a serious question concerning the Turian female Cloelia: should her stature be the result of a rare Turian genetic condition (possibly exacerbated by being a Turian biotic), ala human dwarfism?

Putting it to a vote.

[X] Cloelia as the Turian version of a little person

Or

The other option has the potential to go... uncomfortable places regarding ableism, perceived disability and the fetishization of such.

Which makes one wonder how all those giant ships wound up spread over entire star systems, in the first place. And likely hope that whatever did it is gone forever.

Except that something that big would need to use A LOT of power just to run the engines. Plus, if it's carrying the bulk of their population it'd need a ton of power earmarked for life support and related systems. As of yet we have no idea what condition its power core is in. Depending on how well it's weathered the millennia, it might only be able to generate enough power for engines and life support, necessitating additional power sources be installed to run any weapons they might set up.

You're asking a question to a bunch of horny sci-fi fans. What do you think they're going to say?

With any luck whatever was capable of shattering ships that had to have armor plates thicker than the Earth's crust left or died eons ago. That is horrifying amounts of firepower.

Possible but that would not really add all that much bulk. I would argue that life support is not that power intensive and that if the ship can make jumps then the power core should be in a pretty good state.

Looks at Granblue Fantasy and the Draph race* . . .



* I basically know nothing about Granblue fantasy other than it having an extremely generic anime and a fighting game that was supposedly pretty good but just splashed and disappeared in short order.

I can neither confirm, nor deny this fact. And I'm willing to die on this here hill. 🤣
Officially porno is bad m'kay . . . Unofficially whatever kinks you have behind closed doors is up to your freaky dicky selves.

sniper - who doesn't use a scope - who's able to score enough kills that SOP turns into "just drop artillery on his potential grid coordinates
Simo Hayha. Who holds the record for 2nd longest distance kill with Iron sights (without a scope) at just over 1000 meters and I'm not sure anyone has been able to match his officially confirmed number of kills let alone his estimated total kills. That tiny reindeer nomad herder went out and used all his ammo up for his rifle, smg and pistol. Then used his hunting skills to stalk and kill his targets with his knife propping the corpses of entire pattrols up with sticks. The next day the Red Army would walk up to what they Thought were soldiers huddled around a campfire. Turned out they were cadavers, throats cut, bellies opened internal organs splayed out like a Pagan sacrifice, frozen into place by the -50 C weather. Turned out all those nighttime horror stories about savage, stone age Finnish barbarians their grandparents told them were real after all. 👿

The Finn tribesmen terrified the Soviets with psyops like these. It was widespread. It's how Finns resisted every foreign power who conquered their lands for centuries. From Scandinavian Vikings to the USSR.

NB: 1874 William Dixon 24 year old Buffalo hunter holds the longest Iron sight kill 1574 yards to kill a Native American warrior, from ambush, took three shots without the assistance of scope or spotter, nor sniper training. Held that record till 1967 Carlos Hatchcock attached a scope to a Browning M2 HMG. It wasn't until 2002 MCpl Perry Canadian Army 2310m that record was knocked down to third place. Then 2017 an unnamed Canadian Special Operator took the record at 3540m (3870 yds)
