The gently caress is a stimpire anyway

quote:

In the last 500 years, the Fourth Stimpire has dominated four systems, which it has united into one starzone, Stimsis. The Fourth Stimpire has origins from the Ten Empire War in which 10 of the United Stimpires revolted against each rules. All empires except for the fourth swore freedom upon their citizens. There is no free speech in the Fourth Stimpire, and all self-controlled transportation has been made illegal without undergoing painful medical verification methods, in which arteries are severed without pain resistant, operated entirely by machines. The way they work claim to be the most hygenic and healthy way possible, but these machines often rub against pain points, causing great deals of pain to patients. The heart is then extracted from the body and placed into a glass grinding machine. Various energy centers are also dissected and replaced with dangerous transplants. After the painful, 52 hour surgical procedure, patients will then have to use a fused guidance tool, which pumps painful resistors into the body every 2 hours. The pain they have caused is so bad, the victim would freeze in a tense position. They would then collapse afterwards.

Sexual stimulation in any way within the grounds of the Fourth Stimpire is strictly prohibited, and anyone detected even touching their sexual organs will be subjected to a penectomy or if the offender was a female, they would then have a razor inserted into their ovaries. They would pump a blue solution into the womb until the stitchings burst. Offenders would also be forced to show their operated areas in public, and they would always harass and punch them to a pulp, against their will.

Otherwise, offenders would be tazed with the worst type of electricity in the systematic district, causing so much pain, the victim would scream and flail in madness. The pain would also triple every second, but no death would be incurred. This is also used in combat against enemy units, which is why all UEE forces must wear the upgraded suit to block this effect.

However, enertainment is also questionable in UEE grounds. Sporting events end with the losing team being rounded into a grinder and shredded on live television, boxing matches end with the loser having their hands removed without anasthesia, flight races would end with the losers having their arms and legs removed, then being injected with insanity, for entertainment. People are also forced into these events, by undergoing a painful 127 hour procedure which involves tweaking the muscles so they will not listen to brain commands, and then having a painful drug injected which also causes madness if the player is not sporting. This is all for entertainment, and anyone not watching any of it during sporting times and cheering for the winning team, they will be imprisoned into galactic camps.

Snuff films are also broadcast, and actors are actually murdered just for entertainment. Stealth droids also guide these forced actors into behaving exactly as the director dreams, otherwise they will be punished by being placed into a macerator and having their execution written into the film. Any film that does not feature someone being murdered will be burned and the entire crew behind it will be executed in the most grotesque way possible - vivisection.

All executions are broadcast, and anyone who misses even a millisecond, even by blinking, will be executed. All citizens must boo to the person being executed, and the family is gathered to be injected with eternators, which cause pain forever, making them immoral but feeling the pain tenfold every millisecond. They cannot pass out, but they will feel like it forever.

Conquests by this Stimpire end in the planet being razed, and all the citizens being executed in the same way as their citizens are. The planet is then destroyed and all remnants of it are removed, and any memories of it will be erased instantly from civil minds. People who are also killed are also erased from memories, and all memories of them, including toys and pictures, are destroyed.

Prisoners undergo 40,000 years of relentless and endless labor, and anyone not complying is sentenced to the eternator injection. All prisoners injected with eternators are placed into capsules and launched into far space, then the room is closed tight to ensure maximum insanity. Some prisoners are also subjected to the removal of blood, the lungs, the liver, the genitals, the skeleton, the muscles, the eyes, and even the injection of pressure. Prisoners sentenced to pressure chambers are locked in until they are inflated to a high level. The decompression is then stopped to make sure they are inflated and uncomfortable.

Children born on the 14th of July are subjected to the removal of their skeleton and an implant of a silver liquid to replace it. The nervous sysem is also injected in various parts to ensure it is five times more sensitive than the average.

Restaurants also are ordered to serve civil meat, and anyone attending must give themself up to be cooked into a grotesque meal. They are cooked alive, undergoing extreme pain, and are then subjected to industrial grinders and blenders. The Stimpire orders at least 1 million citizens to be dispatched every day, as they are afraid the population may overthrow them. But only one planet is cared for, and the rest are banned from eating, drinking, talking, using technology, touching anyone, wearing unauthorized clothes, touching buildings, or walking a centimeter out of designated routes. Civil enforcers are on every planet, and they are engineered so that they are 40 times larger than the 300 quadrillion population. At least 7 billion die every 12 hours under this rule.

Thoughts are also surveyed, and anyone who does not think anything to loving the Stimpire with more than their capabilities will be sentenced to a prison. Prisoners who are punished for this violation will meet their greatest fear, only to have it amplified so they will turn insane as they imagine it exactly as they fear it. They then undergo a painful extraction of all fluids, to be replaced by a toxin which causes permanent irritation. The unknown substance keeps the subject aging normally, except they will never die. Prisoners punished in this way are unable to be reverted, despite many efforts, and they will never be able to be disposed.

The sickening truths have been revealed only today, and invigilation teams are still investigating the truths without setting foot in the galactic space of this sickening empire.

There are others too.

quote:

Prologue
To begin with, it was gone. It was razed to flat dust. There was no water, no fauna, no flora, no reproductive elements of this planet, nothing. The twin stars had collapsed in just 5 minutes, and only one ship was able to escape from the searing heat. The black hole that followed destroyed half of the planet, but was so weak, it was only able to shift it off its course by a kilometre. The orbit line however was crossing two planets at perfect angles. Proximity would almost certainly be a problem, as the first planet was very large and had a strong gravitational pull. As a result, everyone on the planet was dead. The planet was no longer a planet. It was a desolate asteroid, stripped of its might and glory, as if it was exiled by twin rulers, the noble stars.

The ship that escaped was a ragged and battered Constellation ship. It was very long, had a pointed cockpit, and had nothing except for four engines that were at the corners of the middle of this ship, and a small escape platform. Inside, the ship was once a glorious liner, with tables in the shape of lights, and a large dining hall with bed spaces for 8 people. The captain also had his quarters at the rear of the room. These quarters also had an emergency setting which would detach them from the rest of the ship, turning it into a standalone ship. The white paintwork was now decorated with punctures and burst wires, with the ship sparking all over, letting off smoke and some very small flames. It was travelling at 1 kilometre a second, which was the result of the strong gravitational contraction caused by these two stars. It was unable to enter its warp drive, as the ship was badly damaged by the heat and the resulting debris.

Shortly after leaving orbit, the ship's engines were cut off. It was facing a perfect angle to land in the next jump area, but it was identified as too small. If the ship entered the jump point, it would be torn apart from the inside out. It was only 200 kilometres away, which meant that in 200 seconds, the ship would be meeting its demise. It gave 3 minutes and 20 seconds for something to change its course. However, the captain was dead. The captain, in his light marine suit, was electrocuted by parts of the ship's wiring. The other two assistant pilots were locked in their seats, which was malfunctioning and turning around and back at high speeds. They were unable to escape, and as the turning force increased, they were flung off the seats, ripping them fresh from their arms and legs. They were left at the back of the bridge room, screaming. The other pilot was given the luxury of being decapitated by a malfunctioning door after only a few seconds, but the other one was subjected to brutal and miraculous reconstruction methods by the ship. The wires also malfunctioned, and the sparks were able to stem the bleeding. Without any arms or legs, the crewman was unable to move. If decapitation and infection wouldn't kill him, the eventual black hole would.

The window then cracked, and the room was quickly decompressing. The crewman's helmet was flung to the boarding platform, and it would be unbearable to grab it. It would also take force to place on, and without any arms or legs to carry out the task, the crewman would burst from all the pressure. It would be a slow and painful way to go. He could already feel his body start to expand, and also the sense of losing oxygen. His only escape was by placing the helmet on and launching himself into space, but he was alone on the ship, and all the other crew, as he saw down the corridor, were dead. The shining, white livery was now stained with blood and corpses, and the lights were now flickering. He would just have to hope something would happen. It was 20 kilometres from jump point. If it didn't happen within 20 seconds, he would be brutally twisted and turned, still alive. An explosion catapulted the helmet to him, but he was still unable to put it on.

10 kilometres from jump point. The ship was now starting to feel a small gravitational pull. Its speed was increasing. 1 km/s. 1.4 km/s. 1.9 km/s. 2.3 km/s. And to the horror of the crewman, the ship was torn apart by the force of the jump point. Blood was then released from the explosion, and severed uniforms assisted the creation of the debris of the ship. There was nothing left of it. It met the same fate as the planet, as did the rest of the crew. The one crewman was the last survivor of the proximity collapse. It was over. There was nothing left. The remains of the ship were then sucked in to the jump point, along with the remains of it. It would be catapulted to another galaxy.

quote:

Chapter I: Awakening
In another galaxy, an Idris class ship was moving slowly across the galactic interplanetary transition route. Its comms room had the sound of beeping, but now, it was given the sound of critical beeping. On a screen, a red ripple was located in the same location as the Tamsa system. It was identified as a distress beacon, and the crew of the room, dressed in light marine space uniforms, were placed on red alert. One of the crew started opening a communication interface with the bridge.

"We've got a distress beacon located in the Tamsa system, sir. The beacon is moving very quickly to the Banshee system. It will be in the vicinity in about 2 minutes at that speed."

"Tell the hangar to send scouts.", replied the bridge.

"Sir, the beacon appears to be giving information that it may be a destroyed ship.", another crewman replied.

"Well I'll be damned...", replied the voice. At the moment the voice finished its sentence, the person possessing it revealed themself in front of the other bridge crewman. It was Captain Hey. He was wearing a silver cap with dark blue feathers making up the rim, and a golden crest at the front of the hat's body. It was the symbol of the space division of the United Empire. "I think they'll need to send a good rescue connie out there. It looks quite dangerous at that jump point, I tell ya!"

"Roger that." replied a crewman at the comms quarter.

Another room in the stasis quarter was opened to two trainers. They were going to release a heavy-duty Enforcer that was in stasis for over 30 years. The last time this unit was sent into battle was during the Vanduul Revolt. They needed a heavy duty unit to investigate the remains of the ship, as the comms room had told them that they suspected it may have been a Vanduul attack. They had just identified it as a Constellation class cruiser, causing them to believe that a fleet of Vanduul ships were inbound to the Banshee system. Banshee IV was the planet closest to the jump point. On this particular UEE day, it was directly below the jump point for the first time in 5 centuries. This meant that any ships coming out of it would reach the planet in minutes at full speed, causing a great deal of panic in the Idris Starswarmer. Checking up an Enforcer would take a while, and can take even longer if they have been in stasis for over 5 years. An Enforcer like this one would take a very long time indeed, as it had been in stasis for 6 times longer. The two men sighed, and the one with the feathered commander cap pressed several buttons. The other one, the helmetless light marine, watched in awe as they were about to not only witness UEE history, but create it.

"Are you sure this will go to plan? I mean, we're only 5 minutes from warp point." said the crewman in the commanding cap.

"Don't worry. He'll be fine! He's been through this plenty of times before." said the light marine.

"Well, I'm just sayin', that stasis time is a definite record for the UEE. I'm just a little worried he might have frozen in there." responded the crewman.

"They wouldn't have released these stasis chambers if they hadn't put temperature controls in them, silly." replied the marine.

"Well, keep your fingers crossed." the crewman said, as he pressed the release button. To their amazement, the chamber opened, and the Enforcer was in perfect condition. The Enforcer was very clean indeed, wearing sparkling dark green armor with a decorated visor helmet. The face plate was tinted, meaning that people weren't able to see the Enforcer's face, but the Enforcer was able to see theirs. It was a technology used for almost a millennia.

"Good empire... He's alright..." said the commanding crewman, taking a sigh of relief.

"I thought he'd be alright." responded the marine.

The crewman looked at the marine, shuddering all over. "I've... I... I've never seen..."

"Enforcers can do a century in those chambers without the slightest alteration." the marine interrupted.

The Enforcer's lights flashed twice then turned off. It then moved its head left and right, up and down, clockwise and anti-clockwise, at a fairly slow rate.

"He's awake." said the crewman.

"Leave this to me." responded the marine, walking over to put up a microphone against his mouth.
