The Tau are the most open and tolerant of the races in the galaxy, which means that they prefer not to destroy all other races on sight and are nowhere near as xenophobic as the Imperium. They are appreciative of the ways of the humans, Eldar, and other sentient races, but hold their own values as superior above all others.
Their tolerance also extends to themselves, as the Tau recognize even lowly Fio'la workers as being as important to the operation and well-being of the Empire as Shas'vre Battlesuit leaders or even the highest Aun'o.
Alberta /ælˈbɜrtə/ is a province of Canada. It had a population of 3,645,257 in 2011,[1]making it the most populous of Canada's three prairie provinces. Alberta and its neighbour, Saskatchewan, were established as provinces on September 1, 1905.[3]
Alberta is located in western Canada, bounded by the provinces of British Columbia to the west and Saskatchewan to the east, the Northwest Territories to the north, and theUS state of Montana to the south. Alberta is one of three Canadian provinces and territories to border only a single U.S. state and is also one of only two provinces that are landlocked.
Tribbles (Polygeminus grex) are small, non-intelligentlifeforms originating from Iota Geminorum IV. Known for their prodigious reproductive rate, these round, furry creatures emit cooing sounds while touched, which have a tranquilizing effect on the Humannervous system. Born pregnant, a single tribble with sufficient food can quickly increase its number exponentially through presumably asexual reproduction, bearing an average litter of ten every twelve hours. On their homeworld, tribble populations are kept in check by a large number of reptilian predators. (DS9: "The Nagus"; TOS: "The Trouble with Tribbles"; ENT: "The Breach")
The USS Reliant (NCC-1864) was a FederationMiranda-classstarship that was in service with Starfleet in the late23rd century. During the mid-2280s, the Reliant was commanded by CaptainClark Terrell. In 2285, the Reliant was assigned to assist Carol Marcus and Project Genesis. While Marcus and her team worked from the Regula I space station, Reliant searched for a lifeless planet to satisfy the stringent requirements necessary for stage three of the experiment.
A family outing to the cinema ended in tragedy for young Bruce Wayne. Walking homeward, Bruce, his father, Thomas, and mother, Martha, accidentally ventured into Gotham City's notorious "Crime Alley" and were accosted by a mugger. Not content merely to rob the wealthy family, the hoodlum - whose identity was "never determined" - shot Dr. Thomas and Martha Wayne dead before fleeing into the darkness. As he knelt beside his parent's bodies, Bruce swore to avenge them. After the police arrived, Bruce was comforted by Dr. Leslie THompkins. Dr. Thompkins and Alfred Pennyworth helped arrange matters so that Gotham's Social Services would not take Bruce into care. In this way, both Dr. Thompkins and Alfred enabled Bruce to realize his dream of becoming a crusader against crime.
Flayed Ones are Necrons who have succumb to the Flayer Virus of the C'tanLlandu'gor, a process which drives them insane with hunger for blood and gore. They wear the skin and body parts of their opponents, spreading mass terror across enemy lines.
Flayed Ones are loathed by other Necrons, fearing their virus. Due to this, any Necron infected will be exiled or destroyed, although some of them will always escape into another dimension to join their degenerate kind. They have no regard for strategy nor tactics, just appearing on battlefields, lured by the smell of blood and carnage, and will attack anything they get their eyes on. This being said, they are not dumb: Flayed Ones have been known to stalk prey and wait for long periods for an exposed weakness, giving them the perfect opportunity to attack.
Introduced early during the One Year War as a replacement for the C-type Zaku II, the F-type is the most heavily mass-produced version of the Zaku II line and serves as the mainstay of the Zeon military. It's the F-type that is also the most well-known version of Zeon's mobile suit forces. Although fully capable of operating on Earth, the F-type is designed primarily for space combat (although the F-type does see limited use in Earth-based ground combat). A nearly identical variant of the F-type, the J-type, is designed and employed as a ground combat unit. The Midnight Fenrir team uses various F-types as scouts before Zeon's mass drop operations to invade North America. Many F-types survive the war and remain in service as part of Haman Karn's Neo Zeon forces during the First Neo Zeon War in UC 0088. These surviving F-types are upgraded with some of the latest technology, including 360 degree panoramic monitors in the cockpit.
Welcome to FIGHT COMICS!
Five stories of conflict in five wildly different worlds!
These stories take a closer look at conflict. Presented here are five stories by five different artists, all looking at a similar subject in wildly different ways. From a bareknuckle boxing match to Renaissance duel, to the debates of beings in our distant future-past, all of these stories have something to say.
An Emulator within the Marduk race. Her singing enhances the aggressive tendencies of the Zentradi warriors in the Marduk armies and allows the Marduk to control the Zentradi. When Hibiki brings her to Earth, she is shocked by the variety of cultures and traditions of the humans. Because of her experiences, she changes her Emulator song to be one which encourages the Marduk to be peaceful. She believes the SDF-1 Macross is the legendary ship of the Alus, an entity prophesied in the Marduk culture to bring peace to Marduk.
"This video is my first project on After Effects and Particle Illusion. Moreover, before this I've never used stop motion techniques, compositing, keying, light, etc.. So I had learnt by myself in the same time that I made the video. I don't remember how this crazy idea to remake the epic battle of Hoth shot by shot with lego, grown up in my head, but the result is here. Unfortunately, it misses few shots (20 exactly) that I couldn't finish due to the lack of time, but more than 5 minutes where snowspeeders - AT-AT are fighting, is not so bad no?! I hope you'll enjoy it. If you have questions, I'll try to answer you if I can.
I filmed with a Canon FS100 and used After Effects CS4, Particle Illusion 3, Magix video Deluxe 16, and once Terragen.
To finish, the saga Star Wars is simply magic, thanks to George Lucas and all people who worked with him for all these years to allow this story possible on screen.
And if you like this saga (Yeah, I'm talking to lot of people if I say that ^^), don't hesitate to watch my edit "Requiem for a Sith" !
I haven't created this video for any commercial goals, but only by passion of the cinema and the animation. All credit goes to George Lucas for creating this saga."
The Locust was one of the most common BattleMechs in existence, having been produced since the design was introduced by Bergan Industries in 2499. The Locust was built exclusively for reconnaissance. The design used a 160-rated LTV Fusion Engine to attain speeds of up to 129.6 km/h. With such phenomenal speed the Locust was capable of outrunning most enemies. In a situation where it was unable to outrun its enemies, it did have a light array of weapons with which to defend itself.[4] As of 3050, it is estimated that over 2,000 Locusts were in service throughout the Inner Sphere.

Jayne!
The Man they call Jayne!
He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor,
He stood up to the man and he gave him what for.
Our love for him now, aint hard to explain,
The hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne!
Our Jayne saw the Mudders' backs breakin'
He saw the Mudders lament
And he saw that magistrate takin'
Every dollar and leavin' five cents
So he said, "You can't do that to my people"
"You can't crush them under your heel"
Jayne strapped on his hat
And in five seconds flat
Stole everything Boss Higgins had to steal
Now here is what separates heroes
From common folk like you and I
The man they call Jayne
He turned 'round his plane
And let that money hit sky
He dropped it onto our houses
He dropped it into our yards
And the man they call Jayne
He turned round his plane
And headed out for the stars
Imperial Special Directive 177.6. The Black Vault.
Classification
Directive 177.6 is classified TOP SECRET. Black Watch Officers only. To be issues upon entry into the BLACK VAULT. All civilians with the information contained in this document are to be terminated with extreme prejudice.
Background
The BLACK VAULT is rumored to be the location of all Coalition MAGICAL items and secrets. These rumors are false. The Coalition has no congress with the DARK FORCES that have permeated the Earth during the post apocalypse period. The BLACK VAULT is, in reality, an ancient construct built by a DARK POWER to house all its minions during the ebb of MAGICAL activity that effected the EARTH after the ATLANTIS incident. Since the coming of the RIFTS and the resurgence of MAGIC, the BLACK VAULT has become active once more and threatens to unleash CHAOS on the Earth. While MAGIC levels are high enough to sustain many of the DARK POWER’s minions, there has not been a sufficient concentration of MAGIC to sustain the DARK POWER. The DARK POWER is contained in a MAGICALLY sustaining COCOON, which preserves it until sufficient MAGICAL ENERGIES have been amassed by its allies to preserve its existence outside the COCOON. The location of the COCOON within the BLACK VAULT is unknown, but is rumored to be near the centre of the vast COMPLEX. Black Watch Command, at the direction of the Emperor, has penetrated the BLACK VAULT with the intent of neutralizing the threat. So far Black Watch officers have met with only limited success.
Directive
1)The primary and MOST CRITICAL DUTY of all Coalition officers is the destruction of the DARK POWER’S COCOON before enough MAGIC is gathered to sustain the DARK POWER’s existence outside the COCOON, thus destroying the DARK POWER. All activities must lead towards this goal. Failure in this is failing the Emperor himself.
2)All possible threats to the Coalition must be identified and neutralized.
3)An exit to the BLACK VAULT must be discovered and all Coalition officers must be evacuated.
4)Directive Q-1 must be enforced.
Special Conditions
All Coalition officers who enter the BLACK VAULT are under the orders of the Black Watch. The chain of command is suspended.
Alliances can be made with natural ENEMIES of the Coalition if they can be used to further the directives.
MAGICAL forces can be used, if they further the directives.
Not so much for the coherence of the rules or the linear game play or the continuity between sourcebooks, but for the shear exuberance with which everything, including the kitchen sink, is thrown in the mix and given an MDC level.
We once had a competition to see who could create the most powerful Rifts character given 15 minutes and all the sourcebooks we had at our disposal (in this case we had 5).
My opponent came up with an Atlantean Vampire Slayer. I vanquished him with my Splugorth Conservator. Not so much because the character was powerful, but because he came with a kick ass van that was smarter and more powerful than either of us.
R2-D2, pronounced Artoo-Detoo and often referred to as Artoo, was an R2-series astromech droid manufactured by Industrial Automatonprior to 32 BBY. Resourceful and spunky, the droid developed an adventurous personality during his many decades of operation. Inside of his cylindrical frame were many arms, sensors, and other tools that could be extended to fulfill various needs, such as slicingcomputers, extinguishing fires, projectingholograms, repairingstarships, and flying. Along with his counterpart, the protocol droidC-3PO, R2-D2 constantly found himself directly involved in pivotal moments of galactichistory. His bravery, coupled with his many gadgets, played large roles in saving the galaxy time and time again. Like other astromech droids, R2-D2 could walk on two legs or use a third leg to roll across the ground.
A quick patrol boat for a Rifts campaign. If I remember correctly the party was captured by the Coalition and held on this boat. Once two member of the party awoke they proceeded to destroy the boat, their comrades and each other. Ahhh, who doesn't love internecine warfare.
Maleficium is a Latin term meaning "wrongdoing" or "mischief"[1] and is used to describe malevolent, dangerous, or harmful magic, "evildoing"[2] or "malevolent sorcery".[3] In general, the term applies to any magical act intended to cause harm or death to people or property.
She lives as a song priestess who sings to uplift the fighting spirit of the Mardook. She is an "Emulator", aboard Feff's battleship, who function as a kind of stimulant for the Zentradi people during combat. There are many who inherited this bloodline in the Marduk.
Ishtar was in combat with the U.N. Forces when she is taken to Earth by Hibiki, who shows her the song and culture of Earth. As she became familiar with the complex culture of Earth, she accepted it and understood the preciousness of life and love. Gradually, she questions how the Mardook can obtain culture. As she discovered the misery and futility of war, she tried to convey to the Mardook the splendor of true love. When she encounters the Macross, she believes that it is the legendary "Ship of Alus/「アルスの舟」".
A Heavy weapon specialist was a position, that existed in the infantry of various armies for thousands of years. Due to their expertise training, several soldiers handled heavy weaponry with a notable proficiency and as such, were assigned to the positions where such skills could be put to greater use.
Chewbacca often freed Wookiees slaves who had been captured by the Empire. On one such endeavor, he became involved in a botched slave transfer between a Trandoshan crew and an Imperial commander Nyklas. Chewbacca orchestrated the escape of close to all of the slaves which consisted mostly of Wookiee children, but in the process had his ship come under fire by ImperialTIE Fighters led by Lieutenant Han Solo. Nyklas was infuriated at the loss of the Wookiee slaves and ordered Solo to kill the Wookiee (who had been rendered unconscious by the firefight). Solo refused.

Jor-El: Your name is Kal-El. You are the only survivor of the planet Krypton. Even though you've been raised as a human, you are not one of them. You have great powers, only some of which you have as yet discovered.
Thulsa Doom: You, my children, are the water that will wash away all that has gone before. In your hand, you hold my light, the gleam in the eye of Set. This flame will burn away the darkness, burn you the way to paradise!
