' Wrote:The nomads only had one ship... The ship is still on its way home after all these years.
Well, maybe it's the same ship that is to blow up Toledo. If so, that means the ship is close to Sirius or already waiting for its time. I mean, if the Nomads had only one such ship, that would explain everything, including the Nomads' defeat in the Nomad War. If they had many, they could've blown up Toledo in 800 A.S.
' Wrote:I want to know why the Nomads bothered with subtly taking over Rheinland when they had the technology to destroy stars. If they could do that, they could crush any of the Houses without pissing around.
"Treewyrm's answer to that will be that it's two separate species of nom noms.
Or something.
Which seems to break the lore a bit.
All in all the plot is extraordinarily meh no matter which way you twist it."
the "two different species or disconnected nomads from the lot" came up in the process of the keepers creation - or shortly before already. - bit of a pity that its not followed consistently - it would open up RP for disconnected subfactions.
but - that was of course before the nomad rep fix - while there were still more nomad battleship patrols roaming around in remote but non-guard systems.

' Wrote:Destruction of Earth did happen. Most of Sirius is not aware of this however. The light from the explosion will reach Sirius in some time from now. It hasn't yet.
Sirius is about 500 light years from Sol, so a light from the explosion reach Sirius after 500 years.
We have 817years after Sleeper Ships have reached Sirius. We have to add some FTL travel time +20 years?
Explosion happened quite some time after the Sleeper Ships fled Sol. I assume it was less than 100 years. I think The Coalition didn't wait too long to rip The Alliance completely.
So, if we look at the numbers, we see a problem:
817AS + 20 years (travel time) -100years(accident time) -500 years(distance) = > 200 years..
It looks like the light from the explosion has reached Sirius more than 200 years ago.
If we assume that it hasn't happened yet, the disaster of Sol had to happen more than 300 years after Sleeper Ships fled Sol, it doesn't make sense if we look at the long intro.
' Wrote:I'd like to continue diverging by saying it can have to do with volume as well. Remove a sizable portion of the sun (methodology up to you) fast enough, and you cause it to collapse in on itself, also causing an explosion capable of taking out a starsystem, and badly affecting its neighbors.
For that matter, if you just dialed up the energy in the star, you wouldn't need to add mass, as there'd be more pressure.
Its all mass aka gravity. The Fusion keeps the roof up on the solar skies. The heat aka radiation aka outflow of photons, pushes the sun out and the gravity pushes the sun in, the resulting equilibrium defines the volume of the star, where ever it may occur. Once enough heavy elements are formed the sky collapses a little and the resulting compression makes the star burn hotter and they balloon up (a final hurrah) and then a supernova occurs. Our sun will never go supernova... why? because it does not have the mass for it. It will become a red giant...so big that its shell will be close to where the earth is orbiting around it..all the volume in the world. But its collapse will result in a fizzled out Neutron star because it will never provide enough pressure to create much heavier elements to cause that cataclysmic super nova compression.
Lets get back to the topic. We can discuss this more in flood if you still want to continue...

Discovery Wiki is not official. Any information in it cannot be taken as canon or as approved and official information.
Igiss has spoken. Earth is no more. However, the light from the super nova has yet to reach Sirius. Meaning no one knows about it.
Is this official Discovery lore? To me thats wiki lore, i just try to RP Disco as i go through time & the changes it makes & the info i find.
Giving that sol was a medium star, it couldnt nova by itself, it would have to be helped along!
The Orion nebula was a star that went nova about 600 years ago, the light was only seen for a
few mounths from Earth at the time, we still see the nebula today but not the bright light,we cant detect
that planets were orbiting the star ?, we can see new stars being born though.
By the time the sleeper ships arived the nova would allready be over and the brightness gone, but the astronomers would still detect it as a nebula. As for them saying there were planets in its orbit, i dunno ?
