I MAY HAVE DISCOVERED WHAT'S CHASING THE VASARI

from Sins Forums

OK, the dev's said there will be a clues in Rebellion as to what is chasing the Vasari and apparently it's not Sam Neil returning in a ship that vanished into a black hole for fifty years.

They also suggested that they thought it was possible some might get it rather quickly. 

To this end, I posit my guess.

I kept noticing in the varying screen shots the new Vasari ships.  We know the Vasari are quite happy to have institutionalized slavery and to force it on advanced but less powerful empires.

There's one theme in all the ships I saw..."Bugs Mr. Rico...zillions of 'em!".

I suggest the Vasari "assimilated" a space-faring insect species and experimented on them to gain their weapons and travel capabilities. 

Ever poke a stick into a wasp hive?  I did once.  There was a wee hole in the ground about three inches deep with a single yellow jacket in the bottom of it.  I killed it with a stick and then discovered that it was the entrance to a hive. 

Ever see the cartoons where the moving swarm comes out after the cartoon character? That's what happened.  A massive "nanite" cloud of angry wasps came out and chased my brother and I to the back door of my grandmother's house.  She wouldn't open it  because they were bouncing off the screen like machine gun bullets.  We ran to the front door on the other side of the house and when she got there, she couldn't open it either as they had followed us around.

Finally my aunt let us in and threw wet blankets over us and brushed us off with brooms.  I had been stung 32 times and had wasps in my nostrils, the corner of my eyes, between all of my fingers and dozens embedded by stingers in my belt, shoes and jeans.  The city sent an extermination crew out the next day and after gassing the hive dug it open.  It was 4 feet deep, 15 feet wide and 32 feet long.

I believe the Vasari poked a stick into a hive and now the swarm is after them.

If I am vetted officially at some point as being correct, I prefer to be thereafter referred to by name with the honorific, "Most  Mighty and Wise" prefacing it.

Thank you.

Radiation in space might harm the brains of astronauts in deep space by accelerating the development of Alzheimer's disease, a new study on mice suggests. 

- They found "galactic cosmic radiation poses a significant threat to future astronauts..."

"Space Brain"

Maybe they'll find the missing Mass Effect disks that have the bit with the alien pornography up there in space.

I have few Theories that might work:

  • Something a bit like Galactus deciding to have its sick fun watching the Vasari flee and shit their pants in terror.
  • A race of beings a bit like the Necrontyr from Warhammer 40k awakening from their stasis in phase to find the galaxy brimming with life to kill for their gods. Read their back story, it could fit.
  • Rebels deciding they won't take anymore shit, because of straw breaking the camels back, stealing a superweapon and growing in strenght.
  • An experimental super weapon that made the supermassive black hole at the centre of the galaxy destabilise decide to expand pullin in all the planets and generaly being a nuisance and expanding sucking everything into it becoming more bigger. (At this point physics says 'thats it i need a holiday cos i've been working for 13 billion years and i need a break, so carry on without me') 
  • As mentioned earlier Killer space ponies

feel free to poke holes in my theories.

The black hole theory doesn't fit.  The planets went dark and the fleet went in to check it out.  Jumping that close to a singularity would cause panic, yes, but not break the minds of every last crew-member who survived, and the ship's logs would likely have hinted to it anyway.  (Not that we have access to those...)

I stand by my theory of rogue nanites, personally.

Whose bubble are you poking exactly?  This doesn't contradict anything I've read yet.

The vasari originally found the space ponies on a secluded planet called Twilight Storm.  It is a wonderful place, full of open glades and unicorn trees.  The Vasari upset the ponies by tearing the gentle unicorns from the trees and exploiting them for superglue.  The space ponies were understandably upset and thus laid waste to the Vasari fleet.  The Vasari were so terrified of their awesome majesty and power that they packed up and left like interstellar vagabonds for another galaxy.
