Brikwars Unit Histories
Posted: Tue Dec 25, 2007 5:56 pm
These aren't meant so much for an actual game, although I could do that. These are more what you get when I get bored on Manly Santa Day day, build some stuff out of the sets i got, wrote up brief histories for them, and decided to share them with my loving Brikwars community. YES, PICTURES OF ALL OF THESE ARE COMING. And please excuse any typos in there, those are my bad.
The Bio-Titan - The Bio-Tian was the first cross-bred genetic experiment successfuly made by Minifigurines Corp (known to most as "MiniCorp"). It comprises of the leftover parts from multiple T-rexs, a mutated shark from the HAZMAT lab, some spare dragon wings, and some scrap molecular gunnery. It was bred for war, and became a crucial resource for wiping out all other competing corporations. Unfortunately for the genetics crew, it was bred all too well. After its creation, it destroyed a good 2/3 of the MiniCorp building. Gaining much fame form this incident, it went on in later years to mercenaries, and became the driving force behind the mass invasion of the Galacticus Maximus HQ and the overthrow of the Galacticus Caesar.
The HK-46 WAT (Walking Armored Tank) - This large, armored tank is about two minifigs high, and carries a large, foot-long tail appendage. This tail device has many different attachments, and many more are constantly being made. Because of this, it finds uses all over the place, for many kinds of things. The Laser and Sword attachments make it an excellent war machine, while its broom and platform attachments make it good for cleaning and household maintenance.
The "cult's Eye" Iridian Warship and her crew - The cult's Eye has become one of the most infamous raider ships in the galaxy. The high speed engines allow it to go extremely fast, and it's sleek design allows for the build up of speed and provides a low retreat and attack profile. In addition, it's black coat of paint has the advantage of being fused with cuttelfish entrails; thus allowing it to blend very nicely with the vast space. Her crew, however, is even more onfamous than the ship itself. Brave enough to take on an entire Galacticus Maximus star fleet and survive, taking a large amount of iridium (a well sought after commodity in most places) with them, bold enough to fly through The Grinder, the massive asteroid belt at the edge of the Floraniss galaxy and survive. The stories could go on forever. This fool-hardy crew is captained by none other than Bilgus Flim. Bilgus isn't your average captain, though; oh no, he's a space ghost that lives with the ship. The rest of the crew tok over the ship, but Bilgus wouldn't let them have it completely. They vowed to serve Bilgus for as long as he remained with the ship. The mechanic is reffered to as "Bloaty", as he refuses to eat anything but pork related food products. The ace pilot, imaginatively namede "Ace", flys the ship straight and true. The medic, known to all as "Weavel" for his nosey manner, can cure just about any disease as long as he has the right equipment. The weapons specialist doesn't allow them to call him anything other than Brutus, and the poor cabin boy who did once call him "Strongbad" was shot several times in the face with an ion cannon, spaced, and then blown into utter annihilation with the ships forward railguns. The crew called him by his normal name from then on. These and the rest of the crew have surved Bilgus faithfully.
The BG78 "Vortex" - This is a rare exception to the droid shipd of todays time; this one requires over fifty different droid cells to power the entire thing. It is a warship, after all. This makes it a rather poor choice against another warship, as the damage it would sustain in that fight would take many years to repair fully. Against small craft and during landing raids, these see a lot of action. The cargo hold can keep as much as a hundred minifigs, their weapons and armor, any supplies they might need, and a couple thousand gun drones. The onboard flight computer could power a super computer equivalent to Deep Thought (look it up, those of you that don't know). The forward guns alone could take down about half of a Galacticus Maximus fleet in a few blows.
