Very possibly and probibly.
But we are also the leader of the insane EEEvil EEEmpire, where only the most insane leaders rise to power, so it seemed appropiate, that I post it.

Edit - Alarikf, it might be time to change the title of the thread.

So, do we get the robot and the annoying music from MOO2 to go with the name change?

Only if someone can dig up the old MOO2 files for me....

but, really, Zeta is not supposed to be a copy of MOO2...it's got it's *own* storyline...at least, it does in my head...even if we never get there...

Zeta Knights Beginnings (2-3) Stardate 2400.2

The first Scout ship, the powerful "Searcher" rised up on a plume of fire and smoke. It was much faster than the slow colony ship and it was armed with the newest weapon designs, much more powerful than the swords and bows that the police force was using.
It was stunning to see these beam weapons in use, disentigrating objects far away.
The technology had been known for a long time but there hadn't been any need to implement it until now.
But in space bows wouldn't be of much use, so the beam weapons where constructed and fitted to the scout ship.
This ship alone could burn the entire homeplanet to ashes, so the captain was carefully selected, still Knight Templar Ruatha felt some fear deep inside for what he had been involved in letting loose in the universe.
But as always, the Purpose and the Meaning came above all else.

The glow in sky started to fade as the "Searcher" immediatly headed for the nearest wormhole, what would it find on the other side? New territories to colonize? The Purpose? The Meaning? Aliens?
Soon the answer would come, but the months ahead until the wormhole jump, would be nervebristling anticipation to say the least.

Within the confines of a temple, one equipped with the latest technology, a mass of people occupied a large room. The inhabitants of the room were working at a great pace, trying to make the progress of the launch of the new colony ship suceed. They did, for it began it's journey after loading the precious cargo of civilians.

Grand Master Sabin was also at work on a different project already. He felt in his heart that it was critical to create ships meant for war. He knew that insufficient defense can be the downfall of his people, so he worked through many nights. The design was complete for the Escort MK.I. It featured weaponry that was based upon primarily on beam weapons. However, it also had a Capital Missle Launcher, which gave it extra firepower over anything it encountered.

The rub was, however, that it seemed to lack any defensive power. If it ever got hit by an enemy attack, it's fragile frame would be crushed, even under the weakest of starship weapons.

This would be rectified, but only after some research has been made for economic and scientific matters...
