"Repairs?! You call these 'repairs'?! I've seen nuclear test sites in better condition!"-Me, every day since Geocities shut down (exact words vary, usually with many more expletives).

In The Mean Time, Here's A Nice Pair Of Tits.

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening Ma'am/Sir,
   You have obviously noted some changes. All to the best, I assure you. (I'm lying of course, but I assure you just the same.)
   When Yahoo shut down Geocities, many of the pages were lost; I saved all of mine, but then three computer crashes, a divorce, and three moves meant many pages remained forever lost. I have basically reconstructed the site as much from memory as from reconstructed notes (special thanks to Oocities.Com for what they could save, very little of this would have happened without them!).
    The purpose of this page is to give returning followers a chance to see what's new and if it's worth checking out (99% of the time it's not). If you're gonna give me some of your time, I should respect it enough to let you know if you're wasting it. Typically if you see the words "minor update" or "html update" it's not. (I really wish I could pin this page so you would always know to come here first...) If you see "major update" or "new entry" it's most likely a real change.
   I have been spending the time rebuilding the site, with:

Every major platform will has its own page.

All Mecha will have its own Random Hit Location Table (WIP).

HTML and ANSI coding have been greatly upgraded (except for smart and Castilian punctuations).

   Once completed, 13^TH district will be re-invigorated with a completely new professionalism; Unfortunately Neocities doesn't "Like" Castilians nor any other smart punctuation (I've figured out that their computers use Firefox, dumb idea), a fact that we will be struggling with for QUITE some time to come. We appreciated your patience with the move and caution during the remodel. And, uh- That board behind you is still loose.
   UPDATES:READ THIS FIRST
   14 August 2025: I said I respect my fans, now I can kind of prove it; A major update to XXT-5K (the GIB's "homeworld") including a new species, new intrigues (for the cyberpunk/noir types), and a lot more about the planet and how it functions (or sort of functions, really). The will be some more GM info later on (possible campaign ideas). The Quintessons do exist in the UGC universe but please don't get ahead of me; I'm going a specific place with them (think Atorian but worse).

   13 August 2025: I had to race out an .html and description update to the Firefly-Class freighter. I've been working on a new project that conflicted with the page at one word, and that word was all it took to need to fix it. Still, it's not enough of a fix to justify spending your time on. On that note, there is a pair of major changes coming; One is based on someone else's work and that is stalled becasue he's been sick for a while. If he can't get back to me in time I'll just publish what I have and that'll have to do. The other isn't stalled at all, it's right on track to be published in a few day.
   08 August 2025: Minor html update to The Patrol. The character for the PHSA, Lt. Com Betty RODGERs, is based on a very real person (I'm writing a series of stories about her as a kind of love letter to the individual she's based on). With that in mind, I might have gone a bit overboard on art of Betty. The real Betty (that's her real first name, but I changed the last name for the enlisted character to an ex-girlfriend's) said she doesn't like skirts and dresses, and actually request a long sleeve Undress Uniform, and because it's HER I got started and await her confirmation that she liked the pic. Beatty is actually important to ME because she's the mother of one of my real life daughters (not the Emily from My Story, though I based her on our daughter). There really is a daughter named Emily, and she really did pass away this year (diabetes complications), but they're not the same person.
   08 August 2025: There is a new page, but it's not ready for viewing yet. If you act on it you'll have bad information and be frustrated and angry. Amongst the other issues, there are significant sections missing and some html issues. As soon as I have it finished I'll bring it formally out. Minor html update to Academy-Class Freighter/ACADEMY-Class Corvette.
   07 August 2025: Significant update to XXT-5K (the GIB's "homeworld"), adding a whole second city that's a little less authoritarian than Civis (along with some html updates), and basic html updates to the Cybermen and ACCLAMATOR-Class Assault Ships. There is more for XXT-5K to come, mostly about the planet's history, but that's GM info and I prefer not to give it to player to protect them from themselves (though some are mature enough to handle it properly). There will be a bit more about the planet's current standing as well, so a small spoiler is that each major city (there's 4) will have their own militia (militia plus police and fire departments) and general flavor. Civis is verry much THE company town, whereas Kalis is a bit freer, but not really by much. The other cities will be slightly more closed off that Kalis but not as tightly as Civis.
   When I started all this decades ago I had intended to use the inset tables for ships as table top markers for gaming purposes; A ship's rendered size (assuming a 1/1 printing) would match their relative size (iirc, I was using number of pixels to equal clearance and length by foot rounded up to the next whole foot). Unfortunately those files disappeared in the divorce, but there's no real reason you can't still do so, if with a slight degree of difficulty.
   And last but not least, a very REAL Happy Birthday to God's own branch of service, the US Coast Guard. Us Black Hullers KNOW the truth. Huh.
   05 August 2025: Added the Terex (a bizzare ugly by Ugly standards) and Robot 1X from Futurama to the Otherships page (my dad is a big fan so I do it in his honor) and the AJ⁶ Cybertetic System to the Odds And Ends page. I found the AXTie Ugly (Terrex) on a 3D modelling site and thought that's just to bizzare, too out there to ignore. Also an update to the REF Escalator's .html, but only because I had to race out the new art. Definetly click on the image, it looks much clearer in large scale There will be another update to the page once the second set of images are done being squared away. Also minor .html update to New California Rangers and repair to GIS.
   04 August 2025: Minor html updates to GS-8 Neopolis Glider, C-130 Cargo Aircraft, TIE Tank, Syhith, and Starter campgain.
   I don't normally give updates for this page anymore (because it'd be a never ending mess), but there's a an update to this page to include examples of real life Female Combo Covers (US Navy, Officer, Chief, and enlisted). I will change th pic in a few days (without announcement), but in the meantime you can see what I'm trying to say.
   03 August 2025: New Entry to Moddies Page. I was roasted by the idea of modified mecha, particularly by Detific NMI in his Tetsuya sock puppet- I wonder if he knew at that point that the YUNES had already done exactly that (in the form of the MAC-II modddy I added today). It would be a few years later before he "mysteriously" came up with the idea all on his own as the T'sentraedi Stinger mecha... Wierd how that happens isn't it.
   02 August 2025: Extremely minor html update to ARMOR-Class Space Carrier. Really, it's not even a spelling error worth of diffrence.
   01 August 2025: Minor html update to The Syhith.
   31 July 2025: Major update to Global Investigation Services (inlcuding their new name). This was supposed to just be a minor .html update, but as I got into it I realized it needed almost a complete overhaul that took 2 days and I had to save the copy on my computer to my computer so I could sort out the artwork. (Ya, it was that big.) Major html update to Fljyt RCC, but no real techical changes. You might wanna check it out anyways, I'm testing a new format. There are some 'hidden' pages, because these aren't ready for the public.
   30 July 2025: Added an Alpha Uniform to ASF (essentially this). It includes a Security Forces fourrag'ere, which is a thing, but only for extremely high security areas (Area-51 type areas). Minor update to Civilian Pay Grades.
   29 July 2025: Minor correction to AeroSpace Forces, Patrol, Uniform Manual, B1 Battledroid, and REF 14 Fleet html. Part of the Uniman was to facilitate cosplaying by using as much off-the-shelf inventory as possible, though some pieces either don't exist in the civilian world (most notably Combo Covers). I also included a little history lesson; The evolution of the Female Combination Cover traces back to the Nun's habit (the formal uniform of nuns). Three US Navy example (Officer, CPO, enlisted) can be seen to the right (click to enlarge). The first nurse's uniforms were developed from those and the first position formally opened in the militries was nurses (followed quickly by almost all non-combat roles). The exception to this rule is the US Marine Corp's female combo cover; For reasons I don't know (and please feel free to educate me, I'd really appreciate it) they chose a variation of the French Kepi (famous as the Foreign Legion's cover). As is my history I unified them as much as possible.
 I was asked how I got my character's ID card; I got it from Gloitee's CAC Style Coin For Global Cosplayers. MINE says United Galaxies Council RDF/REF, but yours can say anything you want, from Berserk (my son's favorite anime, I'm not into horror myself but ok) to Genshin Impact (my daughter and her wife's favorite) to Salem IL Quartermaine Hospital (that's Days Of Our Lives and General Hospital if anyone wants to know, and I only know because of wikipedia.com).
   27 July 2025: Updates parade and undress uniform art, added AeroSpace Forces Uniforms, Spacy Parade Dress Uniform, added art and some amplifying information the Patrol as well as rearranging the page a bit to tighten up the tables. "KINGSLEY" is a real person I served with, this was meant as a tribute to her. I acknowledge that I rushed out the early uniform pics, and as a result basically all of them are ME; I'm trying to reconcile this as I can, at some point I'm hoping I can get the pics of me down to one on my personal history page. If you have any kind of skill in this department let me know, I'm happy to receive better images (I'm kind of tired of EVERYONE being white skinned, hint hint).
   In real life I was a Coastie, and the Patrol is meant to be a reflection of that. The Public Safety And Health Service is a reflection of the USCG's subordinate agency the Public Health Service.
   26 July 2025: Updated the Spacy Page.
   25 July 2025: I was forced to update the Geh 'Dia Page due to the passing of Hulk HOGAN. I took the opportunity to add an honor for Riley HOWELL, who really was canonized in the Star Wars universe. 21 year old Riley was killed on 30 April 2019 when he and 19 year old Ellis "Reed" PARLIER tackled a shooter who'd entered their classroom wielding a gun. Police said he "took the assailant off his feet" disrupting the attack. Police say their quick thinking and courage "saved lives," but unfortunately they gave their lives in the process. Why Riley was honored but not Ellis is unknown to me.
   23 July 2025: Update to Short Stories And Essays html. There was no change to the stories themselves, with a total of three spelling errors and the replacement of indentation for basically a bunch of spaces. I can not stress enough homw much a fucking HATE computer programmmers, you people are fucking retards. Civilian Pay Schedule to include a section of badges. I believe that a certain uniformity of services really is necessary to quickly distinguish services- Fire fighters get shot at because certain types of people don't see "fire fighter" they only see a badge. If all fire fighter badges were a particular style that would be less common (though there are some who can't 'get it'). The same thing for security guards (and I am very much friendly to private security, my page on strippers and security is basically a micro-rant about the treatment of the first line of first responders).
   22 July 2025: I forgot to include that XXT-5K's residents are all part of their local militia and the name of the city itself (infomrally it's Civis, Latin for city). I also found an html error. Later I updated the html for de Havilland DH-4 Fighter/Bomber and T3-81 Tahk Zima Winter Tank.
   21 July 2025: I realized there was way too much work to do on the Soong page to make any real headway, so I spent yesterday mostly working on Otherships to clean up the style and some other errors.
   Not everyone has noticed this, but I like having a given table completely enclosed in the description (with a line above and below at minimum). I've added needless text in several pages just to get this effect (I haven't always succeeded). One way to get the tables in line is to reduce the height while another way is to widen them. Since Otherships is only intended to give GM's a few ideas of things they 'could' do (such as some rouge faction stealing the Barracuda Fighter plans to sell or manufacture) full details aren't necessry but I feel showing players and GM's the respect of having the entries arranged so as to waste as little time and paper as possibly is important.
   Today I will try to get the L.O.R.D.S. fan group page set up. LORDS is simply an agreement between different fan groups that we would fight each only when another group started the fight. I have no love nor hate for Minmie nor LEONARD, but DOL starts fights with literally everyone because they're fascists and LEONARD has a highly exaggerated fascistic character (he was a hardened militry man, but calling him a fascist is simply dishonest).
   Finally built the page for XXT-5K, the GIB's homeworld." I am particularly please with the result of the XXT-5K image "XXT-5K; Behind Her Is Cyb'tron ("Tron"). In the foreground is a privately owned rebuilt NUPETIET-VERNITZS-Class Flagship" (here) because it proves a point I'd made years ago on Jeff RUSSELL Starship Size Comparison Chart Discussion Boards; I had a rather obnoxious and self-important LYING SHITBAG (that was me being generous) who kept insisting that comparing ships on the site as viewed proved this-or-that ship is bigger or smaller than another. If you barely GLANCE at the NUPETIET-VERNITZS-Class in the image, you'll quickly see she's longer than XXT-5K is wide (and yes, that's Unicron). That's absolute bullshit of course, XXT-5K is a God damned PLANET KILLER, the claws around the maw that is the opening is as big as a planet, but according to the lying shitbag the flagship and the PLANET KILLER are the same size. I trust I won't have any more of THAT discussion about this (any more than I'll hear any lies about how you can't make a man-portable mingun). There's still alittle work (some imges aren't loading, a few minor bits to get out), but mostly ya. It's player ready.
   20 July 2025: HTML update to the Cylons species and Otherships and partial The Soong Collective update; As I got into it I realized it needs a lot more work.
   16 July 2025: Updated the html for RZ-11 Coastal Defender Radar Array. I have family business to deal with so that's probably it.
   17 July 2025: Added art and updated the html for House Corrino.
   16 July 2025: Update the html on the CONSTELLATION-Class Battleship, CAPRICA-Class TAO (KC-200 Refueler) and art for the Uniform Manual and Homepage. The purpose of the new badge is to make it possible for anyone to get one, but the DOGS badge is special- The DOGS are actual fans who fought (and in my case still fights) the Disciples Of Leonard (I think there's 3 of us left). It's ironic that most of us (myself included) don't care much about him one way or the other (and both were voiced by Greg FINLEY), but we do care about DOL's truly evil, fascist attitude. You know what, go fuck yourselves. Just use the standard REF patch for the seal; You can order badges those through Galls witht he custom seal (I did, I had 6 of them).
   15 July 2025: Update to VT-02 Construction Veritech html and Uniman art.
   14 July 2025: Update the C-130 Hercules. I've been having trouble updating artwork; For no reason I can understand, neocities are reverting uploaded images to previous versions of the same name.
   12 July 2025: Update the CivCraft-1 & -2, RAH-66 Comanche, FOLSOM-Class Detention Ship, CS/A-013 satellite, and VF-21 Seeker Veritech.
   12 July 2025: Update the BATTLESTAR-Class Spyship and City.
   11 July 2025: Update the rogue Beorge-mot page. I realized their history and LORE-Class stats are pretty weak, someday I might even remember to update that. Also the Breen Confederacy page, PLANET MASTER-Class Assault Shuttle, Spacer II Space Fighter, and BREETIA TULL-Class UDF. The BREETIA TULL-Class will need a second revision for Mecha.
   10 July 2025: Added Phase Cloaking to Odds And Ends. I wish I could say I got to do creative work today, but the reality is I found the file on my computer while trying to clean out unnecessary files and realized this had been sitting there for at least 3 years. I'd gotten bogged down in the mechanical work and had to set that off to the side and simply forgot it existed. I also recovered artwork from my old Rifts page, so it's possible I will start rebuilding that page from nothing more than vague memories and two pictures... That's not a lot to work from. Afterwards I added artwork of the consequences of phase technology. Also updated TR-2A Black Manta and Steiner SF-^^! Starfighter.
   09 July 2025: Updated HH-60 Blackhawk Helicopter and BN-3 Islander.
   08 July 2025: Finally added Dual-Phase Aeration to Odds And Ends to give a really clear idea of what that is and why it's important. It's nice to be able to do the creative work once in a while rather than just the heavy lifting. Instead of more creative work I updated The Beorge.
   07 July 2025: Minor html update to Aero-Space Cover Page, Chipwell Challenger PA, Ambulances, UGC Hardware, and an incomplete update to Plan-1501 "Behemoth" (there's no weaposn systems yet) so I wouldn't waste time checking that out if I were you. I was forced to rush out because I discovered there was no cover page for Malcontent Mecha. Later in the day I was able to get the Malcontent Robots And PA as well.
   06 July 2025: Major html update to Otherships. And then I had to back and do it again becasue I left a bunch of tracking tags (used during the building process) in by mistake. Derp.
   05 July 2025: HTML update to Clingohn Alliance and RCC pages. Due to a delay in how neocities uploads new images the RCC page is currently all messed. Up, but hopefully it'll be corrected in about an hour.
   02 July 2025: A minor update to the homepage to direct people to this page first... Uploaded The Colony of Eur^eka page. It still needs work but at least it can be read. Also an update to Par'tok-Class Freighter and BEGINHILL-Class training and command ships.
   01 July 2025: Partial rebuild of Mandalorian Army page. I will have to do some more to account from "new continuity" because Kathleen KENNEDY is a fucking THEIF. Fuck her. Amongst the other changes I have to update is the history (because now all of a sudden Boba FETT didn't become Mand'alo, but rather retired as daimyo of Tatooine and on and on).
   30 June 2025: Updated the Babylon-Class Space Station, Adder Missile Carrier, E-664 Badger Engineering Vehicle and BobaTech.
   29 June 2025: Major overhaul to PLANET MASTER-Class Assault Shuttle. I finally have the kind of art I wanted, and while it's a work in progress it's a whole lot better than it was. There's still a few tweeks to go (especially in refrence to the lore), but it's functially complete for player purposes. And yes, that's a PROMETHEUS-Class Tower/Sail in place of the traditional BEACHMASTER-Class "wing" bridge. That was entirely intentional. Later in the day I also updated ALLIANCE-Class Corvette.
   27 June 2025: Added the AT-PT to Odds And Ends. It's more important as background for Rakatan Galaxy campaigns than anything else; Use the Rifleman without flight and with a pair of H-1100 rifles and an unguided L-02a Rail Launcher (no bonuses). If I can, I will build a AT-PT III (a Tid Bitz with AT-PT styling), but that's a long way off. Remember, the REF inherited thousands of years of the Robotech Master's and the Invid's development, in additions to several centuries of the various other Milky Way Galaxy's various factions, and with far less war and crisis than most other galaxies (only the Kobolese had relatively less war because their wars were over a vastly longer period of time). Even the Landsraad has seen more war and crisis than the UGC (further apart but far more intense, to the point that they've almost wiped themselves out at least 5 times). On the other hand the Rakatan Galaxy has had more war in any given year than the entire rest of the UGC has in a century on average, making advancement very difficult due to the constant social upheaval. Later I updated the html for B-104 Galaxy Strategic Bomber.
   25 June 2025: Added the Stormtrooper section to the Dark Side Elite Troopers page; I included a way to build a "good guy" version of the Stormtroopers with GM approval. The page has a couple of links to equipment that doesn't currently have a page. I will get to those as soon as possible...
   25 June 2025: Minor html repairs to Otherships and Geh 'Dia pages. Ironically (or something) this was all in preparation for the re-introduction of the Stormtroopers.
   19 June 2025: Minor repair to Syhith; The background colors to the Clone Series Of The Palpatinian Order did not take (probably another fucking html update, stop fixing shit that ain't broke!). More may come today if I can finish the Stormtrooper entry.
   19 June 2025: Edited the Dark Trooper Elite and Syhith Order pages in preparation to create the Stormtrooper entry.
   19 June 2025: Minor repair to standard M-14 turrets; Due to a miscommunication, the Mecha-Knight body was replaced by the Gladiator, and the REF era Raidar X with the REF version- But the error was easy to fix when I remembered to. HTML update to XB-71 Aurora Bomber (because neocities uses firefox, God damn it).
   17 June 2025: Updated html for Atorian-Class Dropship.
   15 June 2025: Hopefully the final update to Starships; A Primer. I made sure to get the artwork uploaded and clarified the language for the systemology for cartography. This is what actually makes sense in the development of a space faring species (which humanity MUST become within the next 100 years if we are to survive).
   08 June 2025: Major update to Starships; A Primer. I wanted to write a document on the realities of starships. There's so much scifi out there with these big beautiful ships that don't make scientific sense (classic example the Federation ships from Star Trek TOS). In particular the nature of warships; I once asked why the Delta Hull configuration of Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyers made sense and Basara549 explained it to me; The delta hull (I got the term "delta hull" from him, but that might not be an exact quote) allows the maximum number of weapons to be trained into the minimum area ahead of the ship. This still isn't a great configuration, but it does make sense so far as it goes. The "cone" configuration I advocate for here balances the delta configuration with the tubular hulls I had always BEFORE that advocated for.
   08 June 2025: Major update to ROIL TILUVO-Class Assault Corvette.
   07 June 2025: And then today I remembered to add the art for the Mitchell Bomber. :/
   06 June 2025: Updated B-25 Mitchell III Bomber.
   04 June 2025: I got some pushback about suggesting that C-130's and U-2's could operate off of aircraft carriers. The pushback on the Hercules was silenced quickly, and the hand-wavium of a U-2 operating off a carrier using gravity-based flight technologies silenced that matter, but I found film footage of both planes doing exactly this.
   Wrong again, "Colonel."
   03 June 2025: Updated Uniform Manual Art, ROBOTECH DEFENSE FORCES Aero-Spacecraft for html and UGC Agencies to add the Post 3500 (Seeker Veritech) era and to clarify the nature of the militry's training; In the real world, each branch is very different, and that's part of the problem. We can't talk to each other, we don't know what the others are going to do under XYZ conditions, and in an ad hoc survival situation we're not able to cooperate. Let's take a WWII scenario of amphibious landings; I was a Coast Guardsman irl, so I most likely would have been a crewman on a Higgens boat or similar. If my boat was wrecked (assuming we could land the Marines or Soldiers), I would have been forced to abandon the boat. Now I'm JUST a liability to them. I have no idea at all of what to do except some very basic first aid and maybe some weapons training, and all I'm going to do here is put them in a position where they have to take care of me, while they fight the Germans and Japanese. Conversely, if the German or Japanese in a moment of revelation realize taking the crew out before the boat reaches shore, those Marines and Soldiers are stuck in a boat that's drifting (and possible NUC). They have no idea how to helm the boat, they probably won't understand how to maintain a lookout, and they're probably going to drown and that's what I wanted to prevent.
   A rant; In the process of updating the RDF page, I tested the diffrence between (dd) and (br)non-breaking space; With (dd) the file size was 21.8 KB, which isn't small but by being forced to use (br)non-breaking space it grew to 22.1 KB, with an indentation of less than ONE letter width (nevermind a proper indentation). Multiply that by over 400 .html page on this site alone and it's a massive number (120 KB, roughly the same as FIVE FULL PAGES), and all of this because someone at Microsoft or somewhere decided they knew better than users did what users needed.
   02 June 2025: Minor updated the to Uniform Manual; I corrected some art (the polo style duty shirt) and found a better source for the short sleeve dress shirt. Also minor updated the to The UGC Army, especially a Dress Uniform. (Selecting "BARTON" as the model's name is a refrence to Lt. Col. James BURTON, USAF, the author of The Pentagon Wars. He saved a lot of lives- and was punished for each of them.)
   01 June 2025: Updated the html coding to Spacy and Marine, added Cehuh Drive to Dictionary, and minor corrections to the Cemuh Drive entry in Odds And Ends. There is a bit more to finish for the Odds And ends page (Cemuh Drives can be used on missiles and interstellar drones, probes, missiles, etc. but generally aren't used on weapons).
   26 May 2025: Updated the html coding to UGC Agencies.
   30 May 2025: I found an alternative source for REF Dress Coats but it needs a lot of work, especially if you are going with a Spacy uniform...
   26 May 2025: Updated the html coding to The Atorian-IPA War and House ATREIDES (faction) pages and added the SORJOURNER-Class Escort Carrier.
   26 May 2025: Updated the html coding to UGC Aero-Space Forces and All Terrain Armored Transport (AT-AT), and added a UGC ASF Flag.
   25 May 2025: HTML and status update for the ARK ROYAL-Class
Escort Battle Carriers and M-18 Armadillo Anti-Aircraft Tank and I found the correct shirts for Uniform Manual. The correct shirt style is the 45 degree beveled edge pocket shirts, not the triangle pocket and defiantly not the scallop style. The triangle is ok, but scallop style pockets curl up and look like shit. If the shirt has pen holes, sew the holes shut. Also, the militry dress shirts are the 45 degree pockets, working shirts are the triangle style. Simply put they are becoming obsolescent quickly. Take a moment to remember those who died in defense of their nation.
   21 May 2025: Added Ties and a supplier line to Uniform Manual. While I did model the REF uniforms on real militry militry wherever possible (the jacket is modeled on the US Space Force uniform jacket, with a slight alteration to the collar), I did want to simplify getting the parts as far as possible. On a related note; If you are a veteran (ANY nation) or former Boy Scout/Explorer, you may wear any ribbon you earned in that position, in proper order of precedence with the exception of Firearms qualification; That ribbon in the UGC is a simple black ribbon (US Navy Qualification ribbon with the lines marked out) and a letter reflecting whatever you qualified on.
   21 May 2025: Some slight updates to Story; First I fixed my rank art, second I added a new pic of my "militry identification." This can actually be a thing IF Gloritees thinks there's a market, so email them and ask "When's it gonna be ready?!" I am quite shamelessly shilling this, even though it doesn't even exist yet and I'm making not money from it at all for the same reason I would be shamelessly shilling RedGuns if they'd sell to the public (they don't)- It gives the player the real feel, without the possibility of accidentally being mistaken for the real thing and possibly getting someone killed (or arrested).
   20 May 2025: Minor updated for my personal lore.
   20 May 2025: Updated the art for REF/RDF Officer Ranks. This ended up taking several tries because of the "quirky" way neocities renders images and smart quotes (hey, neocities, ditch modzilla- ya it shows). Also updated the Spacy page again, because apparently yesterdays' update didn't stick. One of my lesser goals was to make cosplaying easier, and with that in mind I added that epaulettes can also be ordered from dozens of pilots supply stores, but you'll have to buy the 4 stripe version and remove between 1 and 3 stripes (depending on rank) and skip over the ranks of Lieutenant (junior grade)/First Lieutenant and Lieutenant Commander/Major unless you can find a source for the braiding (good luck with that, I've been looking for over 10 years and found one source that went out of business 6 months later). If you can order actual US Navy/USCG Auxiliary epaulettes you're in much better shape. I just found this. You could take the insignia off and replace it with whatever your character is supposed to have instead. They also have flag rank epaulettes (stars).
   19 May 2025: Finished the overhaul on The Patrol (at least I think so) and The Spacy. An update to the Officer's Ranks will be coming fairly soon to make cosplaying easier (switching over to commercially available shoulder boards/sleeves).
   17 May 2025: Art and html update to SPAES and html updates to ARMOR-Class Space Carrier. Additional updates will be done to the SPAES html to get the tables aligned, but those weren't mission critical and can therefore wait. Fun fact, Starfleet of Star Trek was modeled on the US Coast Guard- Which the SPAES literally is.
   17 May 2025: HTML update to MC-13 Angel Air Ambulance and replace the G&K-8 "Gonk" Power Drone art.
   16 May 2025: Updated ANDROMEDA-Class Medium Cruiser.
   12 May 2025: Updated the Player Use Table for VF-21 Seeker Veritech, updated html code for Warehouse Ships, Armored Assault Tank
   11 May 2025: Update to The Brotherhood of Steel and added Type-255 25' Response Boats- Small.
   10 May 2025: Updated the html for AFZ-95 Headhunter and a minor update to Other Gear.
   Part of the Uniman and Other Gear page's purposes was to create a system for cosplayers that is simple and available off-the-rank. Some pieces are easier than others, for example the use of ST/TNG style rank pips, but everything can be done reasonably easily. The hardest part for now is the dress coats; I can't find a commercially available coat for that, the closest I can find is US Space Force dress coats (you can get those, it's not illegal, it's illegal to impersonate a militry member, people wear militry surplus all the fucking time). This is part of a larger project that may never happen, but if it does it will be great.
   09 May 2025: Added Cemuh Drive to Odd And Ends in addition to some minor repairs to that page and ADMIRALITY-Class Cutter. I had to do a second repair to Odds And Ends when I realized the tables weren't lining up properly. I was also able to get the Service Colors coats in Uniform Manual to rank neutral.
   06 May 2025: Minor updates to ADMIRALTY-Class Patrol Cutter. I didn't address the KARR upgrades, and I won't be.
   06 May 2025: Added service color coats to RDF/REF Uniform Manual (UniMan).
   06 May 2025: Added UGC Standard M-14 And M-16 Turrets to Odds And Ends. I will expand on the Emmet BROWN'S "Time Machine" story, I just gotta finalize what I want to do. Canonically (argh) time travel is part of the UGC universe, but they use it to ensure that time travelers DON'T change history. Later in the day I added Backstep Program Interceptor Program.
   05 May 2025: Regenge Of The Sith? Not today.... Added new art and some minor repairs to AZONIA LAPLAMIS-Class
FRV, ALLIANCE-Class Corvette, and Ambulance (partial).
   04 May 2025: May The Fourth Be With You. Moderate overhaul of Aerial Mines (including a page rename). I don't know why, but every time I reloaded the page it was doing something I hadn't coded, so I had to take it off line to work on it, sorry about the spam. Finally added VF-21 Seeker Veritech Fighter. Yes, it's based on the Transformers- The War For Cyberton (Siege chapter) Decepticon Seekers. It's been a pet project of mine for a long time. The Cemu Drive slices, dices, it'll even fold your laundry (so be careful it doesn't cut your finger). A working Cemu drive is a deflector shield, atmosphere holder, heat shield, FTL drive, and allows it to be used underwater. The pilot as a smaller one on their flight suit as a backup to protect them in they have to eject in space (in addition to the power armor). There's basically nothing it can't do.
   02 May 2025: Updates to Attack Craft, Light and the Militry Training section to.UGC Agencies. Also, I will be re-arranging this page to put the NEW information at the top. This is the first time I'm doing this, so the rest of the page will remain out of order for a bit. Once I have time I will resurrect the Type-255 25' Response Boats- Small, but in Otherships because while it is important, it's not a big enough deal to sperg out that far one.

   This section is in chronological order; That will eventually be reveresed to bring the new materail to the top.

---

   22 July 2020: All the major agencies are up and ready, but very little equipment is. Noticed some major repairs to the main page yet to be done and the Bravenet codes are broken (they yeeted me, no surprise seeing as it's been dead for a DECADE now). Not sure if the Bravenet codes WILL be repaired, We'll see later. In the meantime email me anderingreddson at gmail, with any needed repairs.
23 July 2020: Starting on ships. Next update when any given section is done.
01 August 2020: Landships are up. Somehow I missed updating yesterday and the day before as I finished the other ships sections. Also added drones, infantry weapons, Power Amors, and rail launchers. Productive day.
02 August 2020: Just after midnight I finished posting the last of the UGC Regular Armor (tanks)... Still a lot to go, but getting MUCH closer. By 1751 (Vegas time) I got most of the Historic Tanks up (only the StuG IV is missing, I might have to rebuild that entirely from memory). They're totally messed up, but at least SOMETHING'S up. Also got support ground vehicles up.
04 August 2020: Finished the ground systems (Destroids), aero-space entries, and Veritechs. I've decided that I have to bypass essays and work on factions first, then species, then I can come back to essay, then go back in the original order.
06 August 2020: Finished the last of the hardware sections today and started factions; The Invid, Humans, T'sentraedi, Knaecks, HNC, Wayist/Tiamt Magog, Na'vi, and Mimbari are up, though I half-assed the Na'vi (because "Fuck You CAMERON"), and the tech for some of these factions (especially the Invid) isn't up yet. Fun fact, the DH-4 (biplane) was added to the Warbirds series only because of a single picture of a DH-4 in combat with a Seirra Delta/Tango. (I'll get the DH-4 going once I have everything else up; it's the "to be announced.") Also finished up the last of the Loyal Factions. Some subordiante pages are still lost (possibly forever), but at least the overview is up.
03 September 2020: Well, I realize I suck at the mod log game; In the last month I've added about a dozen pages and fixed a lot of minor mistakes. I merged the Magog Wayist And Tiamist page into the overall Magog page. Still struggling with some of the Rakatan Galaxy pages; Sooner than later I'll be finishing up the Geh 'Dai Industries pages, adding the YT-1000 and GR-75 medium transport (light and medium transport/non-militry). I've been working off-and-on on the Global Civil War (GI Joe inspired) pages. (And I got the DH-4 up. YAY! But I didn't get the Mobile Gun Bioroid really started yet, boo.)
   If anyone is interested in displaying some art, I'm very interested; A topless Queen Tyr'ahnee, (Duck Dodger's Martian Queen) with a slave collar and chain leash. (And as is my norm, I'm merging the Duck Dodgers story with another one, Spaced Invaders.)
04 September: Finally added the PROMETHEUS from Star Gate SG1; Sooner than later I'll add Star Gate overall...
   05 September: I've rediscovered my original (HANDWRITTEN) United Galaxies Empire notes, so by tonight I'll have their Empire Stats up. YAY!
   06 October: Got the UGC Empire stats up and got New OCC's started. The New OCC's really is a rant about where society has placed their priorities; No support for essential employees (even when trucking was shut down during 2020, security guards were required to report for duty, some working overtime due to the shutdowns), overwhelming support for entertainers of dubious intellectual and social necessity. >:(
   After a massive false start, got the Cobra Troublebubble up. YAY!
   FINALLY updated the Mobile Gun Bioroid (and added missiles launchers to the legs.
   07 October: Finally split UGC Mecha Accessories AND added Veritech Fighter Weapons School. Teh later was delayed due to the original images being destroyed in the goecities shutdown.
   Minor: Added Damage Tracking Systems to New Tech.
Added Thunderclapp Artillery Rocker.
   10 and 11 October: Got "most" of the GIB's special hardware files up (only their undercover Veritechs is missing), added Swords to the weaps page, a lot of minor corrections, and I discovered I'd been putting updates for this month as September. Oops.12 October: Added stocks to the 5.56 revolver.
   13 October: Added most of the agencies worksheet; Travelling circus is as of now lost forever, but fortunately I can reconstruct it.
   14 October: Finally got the last of the GIB hardware up. Now to get some of the circuit links fixed.
   17 October: I found a copy of my 14^TH Fleet!!! It's a complete mess so I've spent the last three day putting it back together one line of code at a time, but it'll be up in a couple days... Over a dozen commands with stats, but not for the ships (yet). I also discovered there's 2,622 files on this site. :O
   18 October: Added 14^TH Fleet/XIV Corps and linked Typical Battle Fleet; Typical battle Fleet will be merged into 14^TH Fleet eventually... And I updated this page. L.O.L.
   19 October: found and uploaded the ASF-21 Sholagar Fighter; I was so sure this file was gone forever, so it's nice to have found it (actually, I found the .doc file that I was using for spell checking, smart quotes/apostrophes, etc.), but it converted over with basic copy and paste. There's a few others I might refind this way too. YAY!!!
   20 October: Added Bailey Bridges with as much discussion as I could on the matter;
   The text delves into alternative uses (and some slight design changes to make them more utile). The simple fact is, we could build how societies out of Bailey Bridges if they could support the weight vertically (the limit seems to be about 1,000 feet, though this could change quickly if new materials were developed). There really is very little if any limit... And I got the ORI-Class warships up. I thought I'd gotten them up, but clearly something went wrong... Maybe a rogue Mind Melter opened a rift? LOL. NO.
   31 October: Updated Freng in preparation to upload the first RCC pages; Due to the multiple file losses, all I have right now are Dragon, Dwarf, Fljyt (elf), Orc, Uruk-hai, Werewolf, Freng (Ferengi ST:TNG), and Clingohns (ST, all series). All are ready to upload except Orc RCC (needs to be reformatted). Also, at 2200 I started uploading the RCC pages. One more mission accomplished (at least partly).
   17 November: Added the Renada to Odds And Ends.
   21 February 2021: Added Field Bag to Uniform Manual... Finally. Updates are slow now because I have a new job that's full time so I don't have time to write anymore.
   14 March 2021: Added Massively Infected Persons to Dictionary and small updates to MkI, FT-17, Skinjobs (in Dictionary), and corrected a error on this page... FML.
   26 June 2021: Added Schwartz Rings (finally) to Odds And Ends and otherwise cleaned up the mess- Turns out I'd put a period where a right bracket belonged in some coding. Expanded the Renada, Mentats, and Rakatan Droid segments... And corrected the word "erro" to "erroR" from 14 March.
   21 August 2021 (official): I added the Dolne Pistol to the Brotherhood Of Steel (and Green Steel specifically) 4 days ago, but for reasons I do not understand it wouldn't show up until today (yes, I checked yesterday). Much of this site really is about what I think is important- The ships, tanks, and aircraft that I chose to "save" in this universe reflect my opinion of the most important of certain generations of technology, and the Dolne is little different. In each, I included the leeway to allow advances in technology that didn't exist in the system's own time, thus upgrading the Dolne (to accept "Plasma 662 and self-contained cartridges) was a natural next step. (I should probably do exactly that essay, and explain how each was selected...)
   22 August 2021 (official): Some minor repairs in Rumors and Odds and Ends, added Technocide and Reductive Fallacy and some other minor maintenance. I also noticed that some parts of Dictionary are out of order. I'll be working on fixing that ASAP (probably next weekend).
   01 October 2021: Added "Lettre De Cachet" to Dictionary; This was mostly to give clever GM's and players yet another tool (a particularly sadistic tool for GM's) for gaming, to rescue the "unfairly imprisoned NPC" (who's actually a traitor to the Council and tried to sell a Reflex Cannon to Atorian pirates) or to execute a Lettre on a bioterror suspect... Surprise me. This list goes on and on. And oh btw, I just noticed the LAST entry. :|
   09 October 2021: Added Time Chart, a hopefully comprehensive chart of all known time measures. Also, I had to correct the previous entry (I wrote "10 Oct," when I meant "01 Oct," and added "Official" by accident.) Time is a work in progress, the formatting is completely messed up because Neocities does not support any "fancy" fonting but I think I got the worst of the problems cleaned up.
   10 October 2021: Minor changes in html that had major effects on the Academy-Class Freighter/ACADEMY-Class Corvette. Still not UGC Era ready though.
   11 October 2021: Added an intra-page link to gear in preparation for the Colony Of Eur^eka (spoiler alert).
   17 October 2021: Repaired the links from M-611 Perceval Repair Vehicle to M-613 Mobile Repair Facility and added a link from the M-613 and the SF-45 Saker Space Fighter. Added SC 520B to Other Ships. I am a great fan of Peter ELSON and the other Chartwell Books artists (I'm not aware of anyone who isn't). Mr ELSON was kind enough to reply to my letters until January 1998 or so; When I didn't get a reply, I assumed it got lost in the mail. I was devastated to get a reply around December of '98 informing me he had passed away. As a minor tribute to the artists, I try to use their portraits with credit for the artist and referring to them within the text of the passage as various UGC militry officers (admittedly I'm a bit partial to the Spacy and Patrol and the rank of Commander).
   28 October 2021: Added a link to Personal gear and equipment to Hardware and Infantry weaps pages to make it easier to find. Minor update to Other Gear itself because I needed to kill 20 minutes
   09 November 2021: Fixed the VEROCHA-Class, added Barracuda and Partok-Class Freighter (but without stats).
   11 November 2021: In a sad commentary on the real world, I added "Masks" to Other Gear, with aspersions to the effects in the real world about mask mandates gone awry. I also put a link directly to that page from Hardware to hopefully make it easier to find.
   10 and 11 June 2022: Small addition and revision to Other Gear and Odds And Ends. Also, I did some wok on an as yet unpublished page, and I forgot when I did it.
   15 August 2022: Small corrections to Bussard and Shlogar pages and one to this page (don't you boomer me, boomer!).
   17 August 2022: Added the Promellian CLEPONJI-Class Battle Cruiser to Otherships.
   18 August 2022: Expanded the hardware to Ascension Supremacy to finally make them a full technoarmy. Minor repairs to the main UGC page.
   28 August 2022: In the first real update in a long time, I finally did the Mandalorian Collective while sick with covid. I have to do the Bobatech War Robot still, but that's basically a VF-1J in Battloid mode. It still needs a little work, but basically ya it's done.
   29 August 2022: Added the UGA Reliable Transport ("Reliable") or Reliant, a UGCized version of the real world Robin Reliant. Pics will be added in about 10 minutes.
   02 September 2022: Minor update to TU-2 Basic Tailer.
   02 February 2023: Added Deck 2 to BREETIA TULL-Class UDF Deck Plans. 01-03 Decks images had been fixed a few days ago, but weren't showing as such so I assumed (wrongly) that I'd done something wrong and was going to try fixing those today.
   03-05 February 2023: Added more information to the UGC overview page. In short, there are some people in the real world that desire a slave lifestyle. Sylvester MAGEE (29 May 1841 to 15 October 1971) was one such, having never allowed himself to relinquish the title of slave (his first Master being JJ SHANKS of North Carolina, his last being Victor STEEN of Mississippi). MAGEE'S case (if true, to which there are some questions) is not terribly exciting; There are people living today who would embrace that lifestyle, in exchange for a guaranteed home and meals. You (and I) may find this unfathomable and immoral, but they do not, and I have made a CHOICE to set my moralistic judgements aside and allow them to live the life they choose. /rant. Additionally, I uploaded a cleaned up version of Tamarar_HATCH.jpg. In this, the original artists (Cherry Gig) is definitely marked (it's hidden very well, as I intended), so don't try claiming it for yourself. Later in the day, I added the RENORBY-Class Articulated Barge to the RENORBY-Class Supply Ship. It took a few tries to get the image right.
   09 February 2023: Added to Hardware a section talking about how the militry is trying to deduce it's inventory types. Yes, there is a new gun coming, based on the DETRICH/MEADOWS H-1000 (it's already designated the H-1100). There really won't be more about this going forward though; The Patrol's situation sums up everyone else's pretty succinctly, there's only so much you can ask anything to do. In the case of the Patrol, ATON, SAR, and National Defense missions are so different they simply do not allow for one platform (ship) to fill much more than one and a quarter roles, and there aren't 4 roles being covered. Trying to squeeze every penny out of everything ends up cost you more dollars than the pennies you would have saved. In case there is any doubts about my integrity (which are probably reasonable), I VERY MUCH AM giving the lion's share of credit to Dave DETRICH and Chris MEADOWS on the H-1100 project, to the extent that their names will also appear in the artwork, they're listed as the developers, etc. I'm not pretending it was my idea- It wasn't.
   11 March 2023: Added Drake's Equation to Dictionary and a spelling mistake here.
   13 March 2023: Added the Willian B CUSHING Hall and some minor repairs to the BREETIA TULL-Class UDF Deck Plans page (which isn't technically ready anyways). The purpose of WB CUSHING Hall will come out later, but in short it's a patchjob.
   19 March 2023: Successfully added Deck 5 to the BREETIA TULL-Class UDF Deck Plans page; I also added Deck 10, but without the numbering system so it's "informational only" for now.
   24 March 2023: Added the MX-991/U13 Flashlight to Other Gear.
   14 April 2023: Added Smart Glasses to Other Gear.
   30 April 2023:
   Major edit: Added the T'sentraedi LIEWNEUTZS-Class Erukelto Dakan (Report Ship/shuttle)
   Minor edit; Redid the table for the TTA 335B Striker.
   Both are on Otherships.
   05 May 2023:
   Added the T'sentraedi Hover Pod and some repairs to the Shuttle to Otherships.
   Added the T'sentraedi Gluu-Ger Light Body Armor and Serau-Ger Heavy Battle Armor to the Dictionary page.
   07 May 2023: Reformat of the Promellian CLEPONJI-Class Battle Cruiser.
   18 May 2023: Added my ribbons to Andering Reddson; A T'sentraedi's Story. Though in context they are fictional, they're based on the actual awards I earned as a Police Explorer and in the militry except the first and second ones (I've never had the chance to earn the Purple Heart or Combat Action Ribbon and I'm very bitter about that) and the last one (I did not pass Pistol or Rifle Range, and I'm ok with that, even if I'm not really happy; I know I could have passed if I'd just relaxed and shot, but I was too busy worrying about the rangemasters judging my stance and style and blah blah, a few years after I got out I was told all I had to do was ASK to be allowed to try "my own way" and they would have at least allowed me to :/).
   25 May 2023: Added Bylor Buildings and some minor revisions to MOT-4 entry in Odds And Ends.
   02 June 2023: Added Gendarmes to Dictionary.
   "Early" June 2023: Added the Badger Hovertank to Moddies, but I failed to log it here.
   18 June 2023: Extensive repairs to the Badger Hovertank entry and later to the LIEWNEUATZS-Class shuttle in Other Ships.
   21 June 2023: Added "Standard Binoculars" and some clean up to Other Gear.
   30 July 2023: Some much overdue repairs to Aerospace Force.
   24 August 2023: Minor but important update to Smart Glasses on the Other Gear page; I added the ability for the glasses to serve as corrective lenses that can automatically transition between corrective type; No more carrying bifocals around, your glasses will switch from near to far to in between on their own and you won't even notice. This will become far more imporant when I finally add my first Admiral Betty ROGERS story (loosing her glasses at one point becomes a serious issue to her mission).
   24 August 2023: Finally launched UGC Technical And Supervisory Pay Schedule and removed a questionably necessry rant from Officer Rank Insignias Of The Robotech Defense And Expeditionary Forces (I stand by every word of it, but it wasn't helpful). I also removed some superfluous html from the effected pages (and here). As to the rant itself:

This rank structure page was based on Jason W. SMITH'S RDF Officer Insignia Page; However, I felt COMPELLED to correct several MAJOR discrepancies I noted; It was pure fantasy BULLSHIT, the only thing that COULD be salvaged was the shoulder insignias. Whether out of malice or INCOMPTENCE, the outright ignored the Coast Guard entirely.    On a personal note: Mr. SMITH suggests, "ROBOTECH fans should be grateful" for Mr Peter WALKER'S "research"; Personally, I'd have been far more thankful if he HADN'T. He basically made everything up as he went along; There is no such thing as a "Second Lieutenant" in the Navy/Coast Guard (a "First Lieutenant" is a title, not a rank, for the senior Deck Force member on a ship), there has not been an O-11 since WWII, and never an O-12! (I will give them credit, though- the Marine Corps do not now, nor ever have to my knowledge, had a five-star officer).    "One should always be wary of a scientist speaking out of his narrow field, or those invoking their name outside their fields. Scientists are human too, and are just as prone to cling to 'causes', just or frivolous, as the rest of our species."    - Dr. Peter WYKOFF WALKER, 11 Sept 1997, rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.moderated.    Stick to your little paper planes, "Doctor." Leave the MILITRY to the MILITRY.

   I've since discovered it wasn't incompetence.
   01 September 2023: Added the Orion III-Class Spaceplane to Other Ships. It's still a work in progress.
   01 September 2023: Added DHARMA to Dictionary as a nod to my son, who was a big fan of Lost. (I never understood, but ok R.)
   15 September 2023: Added Thinking Caps and expanded MCU-335 Air Mask and Mark XXI Space Suit on Other Gear. I know thinking caps are highly UNPOPULAR with some types; That's irrelevent. The technology already exists IRL and has been in development since the 1980's. You were wrong, get over it.
   18 September 2023: Tonight I found the Spacestation Worksheet, but when I checked the hub page, it didn't exist. I will be addressing this and the other worksheets as soon as possible.
   30 September 2023: Minor corrections to the Smartglasses entry on Other Gear.
   03 October 2023: Minor html corrections to Mandalorian Army.
   12 October 2023: Expanded the civilian paygrade schedule to include strictly civilian ranks markings and when they would be used and minor repairs to The Patrol (Edge SUCKS, fuck you Microsoft). A minor edit to RDF/REF Officer Schedual was also completed.
   21 October 2023: Fixed a link error on the Beorge page to the Beorge-mot page and added the D'TARAN-Class Ultra Heavy Cruiser to Other Ships. Also fixed a ling error on the RDF-Era Valiant MCD-415 page (added a "stop the link here" code I'd missed).
   22 October 2023: Added a pretty picture to the Beorge-Mot and a few words to justify the extra space. Also added a slight expansion of the R-Series Astromech Drones. Later added the DANUBE-Class Corvette (which is my expression of the need to retain the concept behind the Patrol Torpedo Boats of WWII and the Patrol Boat/River boats of Viet Nam) to Other Ships and minor spelling and grammer errors on The Yard.
   24 October 2023: Fixed some html and added some art to Olympic-Class Colony Ship.
   27 October 2023: Cleaned up some character map fails on UGC Spacy and added a new section; I wanted a way to tell the entire universe "No, Really, You're Fucked Now" and was inspired by a story I read about how USS KIDD (DDG-100, though the names was held by prior ships as well) is 'authorized' to fly the Jolly Roger. It finally clicked, and with a little color scheme change (fun fact, "Jolly Roger" comes from the French term "jollie rouge," a simple red banner flown by early pirates when they were mad enough to kill everyone on board the ship they intended to board) the UGC's NYRFN was born.
   03 November 2023: Minor repairs to The Overview Page. Also added the Startan to the overview page becasue I found a tartan pattern maker page.
   05 November 2023: Major repairs to FOLKER-Class Landship html and minor repair to the image of their main turret. Later in the day I did a moderately large and well overdue update to the F4U Corsair Fighter page.
   10 November 2023: Minor repairs to the main page. I got to Business Model before I ran out of time.
   11 November 2023: Major and massively overdue repairs to System Lords page. Some more repairs were completed later in the afternoon.
   18 November 2023: Major repairs to Academy-Class. I know what I wrote but somehow stage 3 rough draft got uploaded. It's not done yet (no stats of any sort) but at least it 'kind of' makes sense now in the UGC universe. Later in the day I got some moderately significant repairs done to the ANDROMEDA-Class as well.
   24 November 2023: Added Emmet BROWN'S "Time Machine" to Odds And Ends. I just couldn't help myself; I included references to 7 Days because I couldn't help myself there, either.
   24 November 2023: Minor update on the Mecha Knight MKD-401.
   27 November 2023: Minor edits on the Three Star-Class Factory Ship and Steiner Directorate SF-^^! Starfighter pages.
   02 December 2023: A lot of minor repairs on the Tonnerre Roulant with more to come. That page is kind of a mess. Also some minor repairs on Other Gear.
   03 December 2023: Massive repairs to the T3-81 ("Tank Winter"), M-200 Thunderclapp Artillery Rocker, WHALE-Class Assault Hovercraft, MORAY-Class Corvette, and WATER MOCCASIN-Class High Speed Patrol Boat pages, with more to come. Part of the problem is the index page is long gone, so I'm not even really sure what is or is not supposed to be there. As I find more pages that are supposed to be there I'll include them of course, but first I gotta find them and then figure out what order they're supposed to be in. You might note these are GI Joe inspired. I took that series, sorted the ones I wanted to and could work on, and started building; Shoehorning them into the ROBOTECH universe proved to be a bit of a challenge, since they're as far apart as is possible, but I think I mostly succeeded; I'm especially proud of the T3-81 backstory, since it allowed me to utilize Choosers Of The Slain by James H COBB (in addition to taking it away from the "saintly Joes" riff). Circumstances beyond my control caused a lot of files to be destroyed (one irreparably). Minor repairs to VEROCHA-Class, mostly to clarify that the ship's fighters are normally recovered through the huge recovery bay doors rather than the stern recovery tube for expediency. I found some time to add Global Civil War to the Tanks, Power Armor, And Infantry Weapons page, so at least I can try to get some semblance of order out of that chaos. I think I've got the links in the pages straightened out.
   03 December 2023: Minor repairs to the Reconstruction Era, FREEDOM-Class WHEC,
   25 December 2023: Minor update to Spacer II Space Fighter. The simple fact is I did the Spacer to express my belief that the Lancer II wasn't a bad design, that old designs can be serviceable for long after they've supposedly become outdated, and because it was available. Necessity being the mother of invention, I took these "outdated" drones and with a few changes pressed them into very effective service for centuries. Only the advent of a full aerospace fighter (the Sholagar) has finally put the Spacer (and the Hornet) out to pasture (and barely at that, as they will have to stay in service for some time as the Sholagars come on line). (Also, the "TAFFY DD-05" is a reference to Taffy Roberts; It was meant as a sign of respect, I hope it was taken that way...)
   27 December 2023: Added Clariant Flag and Innocent Passage to the Dictionary page. If out of some sense of machoistic need for clarity you want to review Innocent Passage as it currently stands Click Here.
   31 December 2023: A minor repair to Factions to straighten out the tables. At the moment, I'm focused on getting factions finished (there are several missing), some new hardware (a next-gen Veritech, this is gonna be wild y'all I'm almost ashamed of myself [fortunately as a T'sentraedi I have very little shame]), and a new section to Spaceways Patrol And Enforcement dedicated to high-risk Search And Rescue. Also repairs to UGC Agencies towards the same thing, since I'm literally right here.
   03 January 2024: Minor repairs to Factions, major repairs to The Gallifreyians.
   04 January 2024: Major repairs to A/BG-20 Thunderbolt V. For no apparent reason, if I used abg2x as the filename for the pic it twisted the image 90 degrees, but when I renamed it abg2z it was correct. I also added the waist gun (the original reason for looking at the page) and worked on trying to figure out how to fix certain Edge-related formatting issues ((dd) is not longer indent paragraph, now I have to use (br)  which is asinine and fuck every single computer "engineer" on earth you're fucking grifters and I hate every single one of you fuck you).
   04 January 2024: Added AAL-1971/9.1 Troop Transport to otherships.
   10 January 2024: Slight clarification in Remulous Homogony militry and history.
   12 January 2024: Minor edit to Geh 'Dia homepage (finally giving the Reys their home, separate from the overall Geh 'Dai to reflect their separate nature), major edits to B-104 Galaxy Strategic Bomber and ACCLAMATOR-Class Assault Ships. In short, while the B-104 has served well its practical applications in the era of warships capable for carrying potentially thousands of B-104's that could be configured to that mission just doesn't make sense. As a result the ACCLAMATOR II-Class in orbital bombardment configuration will eventually take over this role as a quasi-signature ASF ship. NOTE: IRL the US Air Force (which the UGC's ASF is directly based on) does in fact had a few ships entirely their own; During WWII the Army Air Forces had several as well, mostly so-called Box Carriers (the plane is broken down to major component groups based on shipping needs, then boxed up and shipped to near-front line areas, assembled, and sent into service).
   13 January 2024: Minor edit to Aero-Space Forces homepage to integrate the drive to obtain new ships to replace the Galaxy bombers and bring the ASF into the warfighter community, rather than just the training and logistics side of the militry business. In the UGC world, the reality is the ASF serves very little practical purpose above the system defense role (as all of this was written before the formation of the US Space Force, that service doesn't even exist here but rather is folded into the ASF's, which is how it really should be now based on service mission anyways). However, I decided to try to bring the ASF back, after a fashion.
   17 January 2024: Minor update to Three Star-Class Factory Ship.
   21 January 2024: Minor update to Sojourner-Class Cargo Ships. They are no longer the largest ships in the known universe, but still pretty close.
   26 January 2024: Partial repair to The Brotherhood of Steel. The in-page links are all messed up because originally I was going to have subordinate pages for armor, weapons, and vehicles. The practical issues with that plan got to where they did, and I had to put those into one big page, but never corrected the links. I'll be working on that for a bit... And I think I got it fixed today.
   28 January 2024: A quick and easy fix to Odds And Ends to get the tables into alignment. Added gun socks to Other Gear. Yes, these are a thing; A better pic was uploaded less than an hour later.
   28 January 2024: Added chakram to the Brotherhood Of Steel page. Also, to clarify the addition of Rubber Ducky to Other Gear is a reference to myself irl; US Coast Guardsmen are sometimes referred to as "rubber duckies" (in much the same vein that Marines are referred to as "crayon eaters") because we do stupid shit like sailing into Category 3 Hurricanes because some dumb motherfucker forgets to come in out of the fucking rain...
   07 February 2024: I saw two things that had me, personally, seeing red. The first was a video on FuckYouTube where "T'sentraedi" was pronounced almost as if the speaker were sounding it out letter by letter. That was bad enough in and of itself, but the also used the "ger-" word first coined by the Neo-NAzIs at The Disciples Of LEONARD (no actual hate for Anatole per se, he died a fool but he dies brave, it's his "disciples" that crossed all the lines, and then some, and then burned the bridges, ripped up the roads, mined the fields and sighted in heavy artillery after the fact, ever last one of THAT SORT really should just kill themselves and do their families a favor by removing their stain of their satanic existence from the family, now ask me what I really think of them). The second was the wikipedia.com entry on the anti-saintly T'sentraedi, of which I am a VERY FICKING PROUD member, that could only have been written by the Disciples; It was as disgusting as a child rape porn film (again, ask me how I know but not before you ask me how much therapy I've been through as a result, the answer is "not enough yet"; I was scanning the page to see where the section entitled "The Holocaust never Happened" was). In any case, I added T'sentraedi to the dictionary, and by the way DOL, yes, kill yourselves. Oh, and fuck you, all of you.
   08 February 2024: A semi-major update to the US Air Force/Navy/Marine Corps/Coast Guard C-130 Hercules page; I added a clarification to the plane's floations capabilities ('quasi-submersible') and added a section for the SC-130 in the page, without adding a whole new page (I also fixed the link). Minor gramatical and .html corrections to the Reisen (Zero) Warbird.
   09 February 2024: Minor edit to Other Gear entry on Smart Gloves.
   11 February 2024: Finally created The Cybermen (from Dr. Who) homepage.
   13 February 2024: Added the VF-4 to Otherships. It was described as a failure so I left it that way, but I left the door open for PC's to try to address the issues. I also had to compeltely re-build CyberMen page as neocities simply would not allow me to move it out of the folder I never wanted it in. I noticed there's some bad links in the page today, so I will be repairing them over the course of the day. I also did a slight update to Dictionary/Chameleon Visible Wavelength Observation Limiting System to clarify that while fighters, etc. do not usually use colored lights they can do so if the situations warrants it. this was based on a question specifically asked about that. The L-15bL-35 Rail Launcher have gotten a long-overdue upgrade. Added spotter scope to Infantry Weapons.
   21 February 2024: Minor edits to Odds And Ends, major edit to F/ID-3,000 Ghost Fighter/Intelligence Drone, and added OUTLAW-Class Repair And Salvage Ship to the Ships Page with some minor editing.
   22 February 2024: Minor edit to Other Gear; I added a section for militry personnel gas masks (an unfortunate fact of the universe) and standard militry members daily kit. This includes all members of the UGC, no matter rank or service; All UGC Patrol members are ISSUED an MT-261 Bayonet/Knife, but they don't necssarily carry it at all times (in fact it's somewhat rare they will even if combat is expected). Even Marines rarely carry their MT-261 when combat is not specifically expected.
   24 February 2024: Minor clarifications to the M-200 Thunderclapp Artillery Rocker and it's related entry the L-35 Rail Launcher.
   25 February 2024: I was going though muy computer and realized my AT-AT Head/Cockpit Cutaway had a random file name; I asked myself if I'd uploaded and added it. Not only had I not done so, but the page itself was orphaned into purgatory, so I updated the page with the image and integrated it to the Geh 'Dia, Syhith, and UGC factions. Personally I disdain the AT-AT's, and the results from Empire Strikes Back shows us why it was such a bad idea, but it existed so I had to include it. Also fixed a mior coding error on ASF-600 Raider Aero-Spacefighter.
   26 February 2024: Minor update to UCG Weapons to clarify that "a" version of the simplified Terran Defense Tanto is not only widely issues but pretty much universally available and to clarify that the REF allows non-REF members to have all of the non-firearms and tacitly encourages it by subsidizing their contractors to sell them for profit. This is a thing in the real world; The US militry pays a lot of money for certain items to be made, but also allows many of those things to be sold to the public at profit (a de facto subsidy), the diffrence here being the REF is being somewhat sneaky about it. I should get around to an essay on the subject, but short-short version is only vehicles/Mecha and a few of the heaviest weapons aren't treated the same way.
   28 February 2024: Minor update to XA-11 Skyhawk Attacker and added F-3 Neuralyzer and REKAL Cart to Galactic Information Bureau (with a slew of revisions). A few more are also apprently going ot be required. Damn.
   01 March 2024: Slight update to Bionic/Cybernetic Technology in New Tech to give the PC's another option. The idea was based on a couple of things from Star Trek/TNG, the "neural implants" used on Cpt. PICARD and Dr. CRUSHER from Attached (S07/E08), Geordie's ocular implants from ST; First Contact, and the real world technology of the Cochlear Implant (though there are ocular implants coming along, and they're getting REALLY GOOD). Also an update to the coding in UGC Aero-Spacecraft. And finally, I realizedtoday thar the QUILTRA DRAENITZS-Class Multipurpose Transport page wasn't up. I had the page sittingthere waiting for the text and code for i don't know how long. Anyways, it's fixed now.
   02 March 2024: Some of you have known for a while the Gallant H-1X System was coming down the line; Now it's here formally. Some coding translation issues from my laptop to neocities (because fuck you Microsoft, you cum guzzling faggots, Edge sucks and so do you) required me to "repair" the file several times. Also fuck Microsoft, fuck Edge. (This update was at 02:45-ish, which is your tax dollars at work in the form of my PTSD.)
   02 March 2024: New art and minor update for the PA-02 Rifleman Power Armor.
   03 March 2024: Slight update to the Fessors. Although they are strictly not intended as PC's, understanding their little universe is still important. The Fessors are NOT part of the UGC (no matter who their friends might be) and are free to act accordingly; They can ally to other non-UGC factions freely, and as such do so, with their closest relations being the most anti-UGC of factions possible. This isn't just a lack of loyalty though; They give their allies a lot, but they give the UGC just as much in turn. Also, there were a few corrections need for this page itself. YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT NOTHING.    My son knows more about life than the lot of you combined and he's 16 (in 2024). How long until THIS site become unusable because you know everything about not a God damned thing? Shut the fuck up, go back to fixing shit that actually IS broken (btw, we all know YOU broke it to begin with so please stop lying to us) and accept that you're fucking retarded. As it is, it took FIVE FUCKING TRIES just to work though the html issues this rant created. Ya, that's your "skills" at work.
   /rant for now.
   07 March 2024: I had to change some art to Galactic Information Bureau. Seems I've had the wrong badge up this entire time. I'm not really sure what I'm going to do with it now, but I'm not removing it yet. As I was checking that issue out, I realized the page needed pretty through overhaul and took care of most of it.
   10 March 2024: More art changes to Galactic Information Bureau specifically to XXT-5k and her satellite Cyb'tron or just Tron. Once I have that page up, you see that XXT has her satellites and 'Tron has her satellite, and one of those has a satellite in turn. It all ties into how XXT-5K came to be, was discovered, and is being developed now.
   17 March 2024: Added Box Openers to New Tools. This is partly due to the fact that 99% of people don't know what a box opener is; All they know is that the news called the weapons used on 9/11 as "box openers" or "box cutters" when in fact they are retractable utility knives. It will come in later on, when I finish a project addressing "Boxed Fighters" in roughly a year or so... In the meantime, I'd better not hear anyone calling a retractable utility knife as a box opener/cutter whining about "clip" versus "magazine" here or anywhere else (also, "rope" and "bathroom" are actually vulgar words on par with cock and pussy; it's LINE and Head, or toilet, /rant). Moderate update to PA-5 Glitterclone; Mostly artwork, added the tow cables that I somehow forgot to put in to begin with.
   19 March 2024: I will be slowly transitioning all of the pages to Edge-friendly formatting because fuck you computer engineers. Fuck cocksuckers. 20 fucking years of work. Do yourselves anf your families a favor, commit suicide.
   20 March 2024: Minor editing to New Tech. I added a contact to the homepage; anderingreddson at Gee-mail (without the double e).
   31 March 2024: Added the R-Series KT Variant to Odds And Ends becasue if you thought for a second that I could hear a story like THAT and not show some sympathy you're fucktarded and probably can't read anyways.
    And for those who don't know; Katie JOHNSON was the daughter of Albin JOHNSON (a 501 Legion founder) until she passed away from cancer at age 7. (Ya. Seven, and in "single digit.") Before she died, she asked if something like R2-D2 could watch over her; R2 Builders (a group 501 Legion apparently works with a lot) made it happen. The original R2-KT now makes the rounds at children's hospitals and fund raisers. If you have a problem with that, that's fine. You're the problem.
   07 July 2024: Added a chapter to a section intended for GM's only. Players; Accessing that is using knowledge beyond your character's knowledge, and therefore you should really leave that alone (which is part of the reason there isn't a link).
   08 August 2024:
   Not a true update, but you'll be seeing a lot about women's armor over the next few months. I've become slightly obsessed with the subject; Starting way back in 2009 the Army began working on armor specifically formed around the female body. "Standard" (formed around the male form) body armor had been injuring women (and in at least one case was determined to be the proximal cause of death). The issue was that men's armor was flat. This caused it to lay against the woman's body at an angle as it pressed against the breasts, creating a fulcrum. If the woman's body was impacted, the fulcrum would press the chest in, causing injury. With the armor formed with allowances for breasts, it would lie straight evening out the pressure on her torso and thus preventing (or at least reducing) pressure to any one area.
   You'll also see that all the female armor I mention in any detail has only one cup- The "boob armor kills" crowd is probably full of shit, BUT I design around practical and in the real world one cup armor can be made in one tenth the time boob armor can be, with far less material and better protection (the bend points create weakness and traps for bullets, etc. to get caught in). In the example shown here, a basic cuirass with a single cup is used as the basic model- Whenever I bid for artwork for the site, I actually use that image for the model. In my model, the armor reaches from the neck to just below the belly (not quite into the groin) and with a full 360 degree coverage with good overlap to prevent gaps.
   Minor update to R-Series Astromech Drones. For some reason I left html in the KT variant table that should have been removed.
   23 August 2024: I remembered from my childhood a GoBot based on the F-4U Corsair. After quite a bit of searching, I found something, and I had to run with it. Lt. Col. DANVERS appears in another story.
   03 October 2024: Added Tripole Structural Members (Masts And Towers).
   06 October 2024: Added some text to clarify The Patrol and cleaned up some unnecessary html.
   I want to clarify something; The Patrol is directly based on the US Coast Guard (right down to using a CG Battle Ensign as the placeholder for their flag), and the USCG is part of the US militry. In fact, it is the oldest continuous branch of the militry; When Congress disbanded the Army and Navy after the Revolution there was nothing for a decade, the states were obliged to provide militia for defense. When the US converted to the Constitution the authority to tax was given to the federal government, and one of the first taxes was on tariffs. This was to be enforced by the Revenue Cutter Service, which in 1912 was merged with the slightly older Lighthouse Service as the Coast Guard. I know it's popular to say the Coast Guard isn't part of the militry, and I usually tolerate that from ignorant normies, but when a supposed professional says it and takes the time and effort to reach out to me to berate me for my "stupidity," I got a bit miffed. Do not think to lecture ME about what I have and haven't done. (While I'm at it, don't think to tell me I deserve honors for thing that I know full fucking well I never did.)
    I also notice the L-500 Alsatian page is not in place. I'm not sure what happened here (it was up), but I will be working on it today.
   10 October 2024: A slight update to ACCLAMATOR-Class Assault Ship and Aero-Space Forces pages to reflect the update to both.
   22 December 2024: Depending on your definition of "major" v. minor, an update to Dictionary to add Ecumenopolis. This is a big word I've been hunting for years. I literally triped over it in a video by Geetsly's entitled A Journey Through 13 BILLION Years: History Of The Galaxy BEFORE The Republic, Jedi & Sith Were Born.
   19 January 2025: Update to the PASS-451 Wyvern Assault Hovercycle; A few people pointed out that the Wyvern could use the standard infantry weapons, and I realized this really did make a lot of sense. It really did help that they made very reasonable and logical arguments. It took 2 tries to get it right becaue I forgot that Neocities hates smart quotes (derp).
   20 January 2025: Update to the B1 Battledroid to clarify how they are used in the UGC era.
   28 January 2025: Small but major repair to REF VF-06 Shadow Alpha Veritech; The only way I can write INVID correctly is by html tricks. How I missed that as long as I did I really don't know.
   03 Febuary 2025: Minor repair to Short Stories And Essays; Under Tales of the SDF-001 MACROSS. I used formatting that neocities doesn't 'like.' Major update to Restraint Collars to diffretiate between mere slave collars (which the UGC can order removed by various legal means, incuding confiscation of property in certain crimes) and state-applied collars. In a confiscation case involving slaves, the UGC manumits them automatically (though they can sell themselves back into slavery if they so choose- arounf 53% historically do).
   06 Febuary 2025: Minor repairs to Enlisted Ranks. Somehow I forgot to make a Marine E-7 a Gunnery Sergeant. I also added a line between some of the more confusing ranks (especially in the E- through 3 and E-10 segments). while I'm here, I discovered the error and problem when I was doing some prep work for a new uniforms entry, and made a quick repair there, too. (Why can't this just be easy? Or profitable, that would work too...) Later on in the day I made significant repairs to the Main Page to clear up a lot of grammar errors and clarify a few issues.
   11 Febuary 2025: Minor repairs to The Atorians. Some html coding that while it didn't seem to be casuing problmes was just as well to have fixed.
   23 Febuary 2025: Added Dorktionary and Shomiriation to the dictionary. I coined the word shomiriation a long time ago for a story, and was told tonight I should create my own little dorktionary.
   And now, here we are.
   23 Febuary 2025: Slight update to the home page to address the process of intergrating new states into the UGC; The simple version is that the Council doesn't "like" any needless trauma. If they can forgive and forget, they do. If they must drop a hammer however, they drop it VERY hard (as the Hutt example shows).
   02 March 2025: Slight update to UGC Agencies explaing how Boot Camp and OCS works in the UGC.
   03 March 2025: Added Civitas Per Effuso Sanguine.
   04 March 2025: HTML repairs to Uniform Manual. There are more updates to come as I've begun building actual pictures of UGC uniforms (preview removed 09 March). Also HTML repairs to B1_Battledroid. Finally updated The Robin Reliant Image.
   04 March 2025: A few more repairs to Uniform Manual; Replace Sword Belt with a Sword Belt (uh, duh). If you look at teh page source you'll see a gap. That's where the new section will eventually be inserted.
   09 March 2025: Finally added actual REF uniforms to Uniform Manual. I have what I have so if you don't like them, try contacting me about fixing them. I'm listening. Here's a secret, I wanted 1 Marine, 1 Army, 1 Patrol, and 1 female uniform. The only one that's 'right enough' is the Undress, because that was always supposed to be ASF (because I don't like the Air Force). I kind of wanted the Parade Dress to be the female uniform. Do I have the skills to do that? NO. (I also really wanted Kilt to be Marine, becasue the dark blue dress jacket shows up really well on the tartan but not on the dark blue pants.)
    AT LAST IT IS DONE! I have added COBRA COMMAND! This a project I've had on hold for months now, there's a lot more but I had space issues, all the art was too big to do anything, and unless I upgrade I couldn't add them. There's still quite a bit of work to go and iykyk so time isn't my biggest asset but it'll come sooner or later. It is a Cobra/Decepticon mashup. Not everyone like that. Ok, don't use it. UPDATE: HTML codes that were perfect on my computer aren't rendering here for reasons unknown. Sorry. I'm working on it.
   10 March 2025: About an hour ago I found a recipe for Lembas Bread for LOTR parties. If you thought I'd pass THAT up, you don't know me.
   11 March 2025: Several people asked me to take the cover off the lembas bread recipe. When 5 out of 5 people you specifically ask for advice all tell you it's a bad idea, it's time to shut up and listen. It was time for me to shut up and listen.
   12 March 2025: Minor repairs to Uniman.
   13 March 2025: Added Bootenant and Conjecture Dictionary. Later I made a few more corrections, some html edits, and overhauled the signal flag section. Later in the late evening I added Oubliettes to dictionary. The line "Oubliettes have... (a) universally feared reputation for their use as terror tools by putting a person in one until they die, often unfed. This reputation is highly disputed however, as evidence of their use in this capacity is limited." is true far as it goes, but there is evidence of them being used to hold people who various aristocrats wanted disappeared; Though it's been removed now, wikipedia had an entry on an oubliette discovered in the 1960's to have a body with a pocket watch dated from 1916. This attempt to white wash history did not go unnoticed, this is a well known fact in the historic community, one certain parties wanted oublietted.
   14 March 2025: Some coding changes to Dictionary, coding changes and additional text to Space Dangers, and added "Regional Forces" to VEROCHA-Class.
   17 March 2025: Something minor became something major as a couple of simple repairs to M-613 Mobile Repair Facility exposed significant issues that needed to be resolved. The repairs aren't even fully completed yet, but that will have to wait.
   17 March 2025: Added T'sentraedi Tattoos to Short Stories And Essays. This really was to give T'sentraedi cosplayer an excuse to get a henna of a series of battles their character had been in. It was loosely based on a practice from the Star Wars universe in which Rebel Alliance/Republic pilots had tabs on their uniforms for the battles they'd been in.
   23 March 2025: Added K.I.T.T./K.A.R.R. System to UGC Mecha Accessories as well as minor updates to WB-417 Wing Boards and T-18 Battloid Augmentation Pack. KITT/KARR is a GM approval item, not all players may get one, and in some cases none do. Just accept if your GM says no. Added uniforms and updated UGC Merchant Marines.
   24 March 2025: Added Tricorders to Odds And Ends. Later I rebuilt Typical UGC Battle Group.
   27 March 2025: Something minor became something major; I added the BobaTech Battloid so I had to add a link to it to the Mandalorian Collective- And that's when I discovered the html was so fucked up I can't even figure why other than to say "Microsoft." Computer engineers, stop helping, you've done enough damage already. Also some updates to SVA/F-1 Strike Veritech.
   27 March 2025: Major overhaul to 14^TH Fleet. There are open spots in the html code becasue there is more coming soon enough. Alos minor edits to Uniform Manual and Merchant Marines.
   29 March 2025: Minor update to Uniform Manual. The purpose of the Uniman is to allow simplified cosplay options, but I also know some people have better resources (not always money) for making more complex costumes; The medals and ribbons are all real world ones (US militry and Boy Scouts in my case). For those who might follow this track, any medals or ribbons you have earned in real life you may and should wear, but do not mistake cosplay ribbons no matter the type for stolen valor; I made a point to make the REF uniform sufficiently different that no sane person could ever mistake it for a real militry uniform. Later I added 14^TH Wing to 14^TH Fleet. and then I realized neocities hates fancy fonts, and had to fix basically everything. And added art to UGC Agencies.
   30 March 2025: Added Hypocycloid to Dictionary. Fixed the uniform for the Cadet in Related: Militry Training of Agencies (I gave her the Combination Cover rather than the Duty Cover as her first by mistake). Yes, the idea of woman in the picture is based on my real life daughter, but she is Andy's granddaughter. She will be appearing in some short stories based on actual events. And some minor repairs to UGC Aero-Space Forces. And because I can't seem to stop abusing myself, I added Visual Instrument And Sensory Organ Replacement (VISOR) and Tricom Badge to Odds And ends.
   30 March 2025: Added some artork and text for the Jade Order of the Geh 'Dai. Mostly it's a statement that I'm a Mara JADE/Shannon McRANDEL fan.
   01 April 2025: Minor update to The Office Of The Council; Fixed some html and art.
   03 April 2025: New art for the Spacer II Space Fighter and Atorian Aero-Space Fighter and a few more lines for the Atorian fighter. Thanks to a friend I'm now able to get some decent art for my Destroids as well, and those will be coming as soon as practical.
   03 April 2025: Html repairs to Factions and uploaded some art for a new faction (not quite ready yet).
   04 April 2025: Update to Andering Reddson; A T'sentraedi's Story. In real life, I lost my daughter to a combination of mental illness induced homelessness and diabetes. This is my way of healing. A little at least. The references to Miguel are in fact a reference to my real life sons, and the hope that I can someday reconcile with them (all 5 of them). I don't blame my kids- I blame their mothers. There's a reason for that.
   05 April 2025: Added Command Decisions. A full essay on the subject will eventually be written. Added The Jollem, based on a combination of The Deprogrammers (The Outer Limits S2/E16 1996) and Independence Day (also 1996). GM's, this is not some level up operation; The Jollem are a real threat in numbers. And an update to Moeller Skycar table.
   06 April 2025: Added art and corrected some text mistakes in A T'sentraedi's Story and a text mistake in Agencies (the cadet has Flight Surgeon's wings, not Pilot's Wings).
   08 April 2025: This morning I discovered I'd never uploaded Darkplace Hospital so I just spent the last 12 hours trying to reconstruct the file that I'd deleted or lost or something a long time ago. Update to Andering REDDSON; A T'sentraedi's Story. I'm getting ready to re-do the BREETIA TULL page art.
   08 April 2025: Added art to Praxians- Sexual Predators, Or Just Horny Bitches? and Weapons Of The RDF, fixed html to Hazing In The RDF And REF and Hot Cars- 1138^TH MP Battalion's Piecemeal Fleet and The Rush Channel, added some text to Protoculture- The Power Of Pain, and as promised I finally wrote Command Decisions to Short Stories And Essays. then I discovered I had to make some "small" repairs to The Gallifreyian. Those small repairs turned out to be nearly a full fucking rebuild because "Microsoft Edge" dear computer engineers, QUITE FUCKING HELPING! YOU'VE DONE ENOUGH DAMAGE ALREADY!
   10 April 2025: Fixed some html to Attack Craft Light, Three Star-Class Factory Ship, and Steiner Directorate SF-^^! Starfighter.
   10 April 2025: Added Mandatory Carry to Dictionary. I happen to know this guy irl, and whatever else he may be he is dedicated to his cause.
   10 April 2025: Minor update to UGC Agencies to explain what direction the REF is going.
   12 April 2025: Minor repairs to Short Stories And Essays, A Tsentraedi's Story, Dictionary, REF 14^TH Fleet, and K.I.T.T./K.A.R.R. System. Most of them were spelling errors that my spell checker didn't flag before for no apparent reason, some were due to neocities using firefox as their browser, and there were even a couple of legitimate HTML errors. Doubling the irony here, I went through those (and many more) pages specifically looking for a particular spelling error (the name of a homeworld). It would help a lot if neocities had a "preview" function, I'm not just saying.
   15 April 2025: Added Blank Agencies Worksheets, Mercenry Worksheet, and Travelling Show Worksheet pages and updated the home page. BAW page will be under construction for a while; The html pages for those were lost in the divorce; I just found the ancient .doc page in an old email account under "sent messages," and I'm trying to get it put together so please just bear with me. Alos a minor update to Random Interstellar Empires/Star Kingdoms. Html update to New OCC's. That page is a reflection on my personal anger that certain people risk their lives with no social appreciation for poverty wages, while others risk nothing for magnificent rewards and at several orders of magnitude greater social appreciation. Everyone hates security guards, only the extremists hate strippers. It's abominable. This isn't a rant against strippers so much as the rest of society. Later on the day I got Government/Secret Agency Worksheet and Space Station Worksheet up. The page to page links are still messed up. Sorry. Got the links fixed later in the day and an out of cell underscore set in the merc worksheet, not sure how I did that.
   17 April 2025: So after 10 years I've finally added The Colony Of San Angeles/Tyrell Corporation. Just in case it didn't show, it's all about the 1980's and '90's scifi, the noir scifi, the dirty grunge scifi. It's a dystopian world built from the ground up out of corruption from desperation. Also, some minor repairs were needed. :/
   18 April 2025: After 2 years of working on it, I have finally added Express-Class Cargo Shuttle to Otherships. This is a little tribute to my dad who is a huge Futurama fan, because he's a huge Married With Children fan (he knows every word of every episode) and Katie SAGAL was in both. It was going to be a whole new page but I finally accepted that not everything needs a page unto itself. Later on I made a couple of updates to Adder Missile Carrier, incluing an update to the images and table.
   19 April 2025: Updated the html for XA-11 Skyhawk Attacker and ADMIRALTY-Class Patrol Cutter. Also, I downgraded the ADMIRALTY-Class Cutters from a crew of 10,000 to ONE thousand. That was a copy and paste error from a previous ship. (Yikes...)
   19 April 2025: Update to PLANET MASTER-Class Assault Shuttle; The image added is basically a placeholder (no turrets and no wheels) and I'm working on that.
   24 April 2025: Added Advance And Transfer to Dictionary (I thought it was already there but when I when to add a link I saw it wasn't), and Operational Limitations to VS-01 TIGERSHARK-Class. I also tried to fix some of the html on the TIGERSHARK page (fuck you Microsoft).
   28 April 2025: Minor update to UGC Policy Manuals.
   A RANT:
   Today I was starting on a new project related to the ROBOTECH timeline, and the authors sanctimoniously bragged about the "religiously neutral 'C.E.' and 'B.C.E.'" system.
   NO. The poison of the "CE" system was replaced with the BC/AD system that HISTORIANS and ARCHEOLOGISTS use. The politicization of history is a plot to re-create the German Nazi regime, nothing less (and possibly more). Everyone who uses this system do so INTENTIONALLY. They know, they do it anyways. Do not follow down their path.
   /rant. (For now.)
   01 May 2025: Added the M-14 Rail Launcher and M-16 Anti-Aircraft to Reconstruction Era Fleet as well as clarifying the opening section. Later I did a minor update to the BLOCKADER-Class Picket Ship seeing as I updated the art for it.
