Craver 'Red Harvest', Horatio arm, cluster 5, border sector 3 of the United empire.



For all those who read, this is a simulation of the United Empires Xenos division, detailing a outcome of a Craver 'Red Harvest' on the border of UE space, take note as the following details will specify the divisions details of this sector and the possible UE retaliation via the use of outlying dukes, and possible assistance of UE friendly, or unfriendly Xenos, rebels and clone forces.











Detailing resistance faced by the Cravers perspective will give us a batter insight to invasion plans of Craver locust fleets into Border sector 3.



Year 1: As we can see, Craver fleets entering the region will be hard pressed for resources and worlds to colonize, but infestation will commence within one solar year of a distant system within the sector, The simulation will run for 10 cycles an we shall observe the next stage of infestation.



Year 10: Here we see Craver forces spreading out from their new home system and begin to spread out across the stars like a insidious pathogen, even equipping the use of interstellar heroes drawn by their insane taste for like experimentation, Craver young-lings are more then willing to serve for the right price, It is my belief that once this harvest is over, the hero's hired by the Cravers will also be consumed. Running simulation for another 10 cycles.



Year 20: As before, the rapid expansion of Craver territory within the starting cluster. We shall now observe the technological developments of this Craver force and their likely developments over the past 20 cycles.





Without conflict, the Craver will have very slow technological developments into military technology, freeing the time to research other supporting technology's.

This result my however be a little saturated, due to the simulations predictions of scientific advances made by exploration of space. Advancing time by 20 cycles, let us get into the thick of a Craver 'Red Harvest'.



Year 40: Small scale engagements with UE scouts and pirate forces have forced Craver science to begin focusing on military applications, and production of ships has skyrocketed, This is phase 1 of a Craver 'Red Harvest' and will soon see the Craver fleets engaging the local populations of humans and clones and indicated by the yellow empire, pirate forces fearing the end have begun an invasion of Craver territory and may even eradicate a system of Craver influence, and at this critical phase of the harvest, they are the smartest power out here.



Advancing simulation another 20 cycles.



Year 60: War, Horatio's clones have always been quick to strike against their enemy's, but raids into Craver territory do not go unpunished, and as for the pirates? Their attacks have increased by 600%, leading the way in the attempt to exterminate the Craver home-worlds, The attacks are problematic now that was has been declared for the Cravers, but that doesn't count them out.





The Warrior and Grub class Craver warships spearhead their assaults, with the warrior boasting upgrades to weapon capacitors and an impressive amount of torpedo's being designed as a counter to enemy defenses by sheer attrition, and the Grub only half filled with powerful beam technology designed to act as cheap cannon fodder.

The Cravers were never one for subtlety, and their ships seem not to care about absorbing firepower.

Simulate for another 20 cycles.

Year 80:As expected the casualty's from this war have jumped dramatically and the Cravers have been wining battle after battle, using the spoils of war to accelerate their research programs. It is likely that now the tide of war against the clones has been turned, they won't last for many more years and will simply feed the Locusts hunger for resources. It has been noted that several engagements with the rebellion the 'Pilgrims' have also gone in favor of the Craver menace, it is more then likely that they will be the next targets for harvesting, and considering the fragility of Pilgrim fleets in this sector, they won't even last as long as the Horatio will.



Continuing conflict with pirate forces at Temos indicates that the traitorous scum are upping their game, and have equipped many beam type weapons, but their numbers are dwindling and they cannot face the Cravers alone, but with accidental conflicts with UE peacekeeping forces, neither side is currently able to face the Cravers alone.



Fortunately Craver locust has begin to render systems drained of major food resources, leading to mass starvation and overall less 'FIDS' generation.



Autopsy information provided by Hissho warlords indicates a need for chlorophyll of all things in Craver biology, It seems the Cravers use an extremely accelerated form of photosynthesis, one that actually destroys chlorophyll in their body as they use it. There is no specific advantage for this ability other then the ability to ingest any form of liquified plant.

This intriguing discovery if followed by Craver tenacity, and their love for flying outside of their space craft. It seems the cravers literally starve to death over time, and the infrastructure for working chlorophyll farms is hard to manufacture before worlds are consumed and populations decreased, using unsanitary growing facility's fertilized with the corpses of the dead.

I feel pity....almost.



Run simulation for 20 cycles again.

Interesting says the alien. Interesting says I.

So what tastes better? Human, Clone or Hissho?

Hissho, they taste like chicken.



More will be done, once I find the time to play.

Year 100: Successful attacks by UE and Clone forces heavily cripple the Craver economy, a dark age is occurring in the Craver swarm and just on time for the Clones, as the home system in this region is currently under siege, and their fleets broken.



The Craver economy is in shambles and with their fleets soon about to be cut down, their entire swarm is in jeopardy of self collapse, this critical stage of a Craver Red harvest, once that could make or brake the swarms domination. Cycle 20.





Year 121: Seems the simulation jumped the gun a little, anyway the Cravers have made a miracle turn around and have begin to finally dominate the Clones territory, without UE or rebel support the Clones fleets are but a faction of what they were, losing even their home world to the Cravers control.



However Craver fleets have also been beaten down with their economy only now bouncing back, Craver forces seem stretched more then ever, especially with rebel forces beginning raids on their territory.

Haha nice name! George the spicy sausage

I love steam usernames!

Well done, well done Igncom1 lol
