Thirdspace

[inq101]

Someones asked to play as the Thirdspace aliens in a campaign I'm running soon. Does anyone have a better idea than making him use Vorlons (as they had brain wiped some Vorlons) and just calling them [did they have a name]?

I'd prefer not to create a completely new fleet as we're all pretty new players.

I don't remember a name ever being mentioned. As for the fleet idea my suggestion would be to go with the controlled Vorlons or tell him to pick another fleet, especially since your pretty new players. Just remember the ships we saw in the movie were effectively their equivilant of a Tethys cutter in size. They were smaller than the Whitestars but would probably each have at least a battle priority level.

Also the Thirdspace gate was destroyed and as their only way through to our galaxy their shouldn't be any of them around anyway.

That, and there's no way for them to get back into our universe since the gate was destroyed. The Vorlon echo inside Lyta didn't say anything about the Vorlons building any more gates, so that's pretty much it, good night Vienna...

That and there are no models or cards or even the general concept of them in existence. There are plenty of races already available anyway, I can't see how you could want more.

Oh, I'm still holding out hope for the "Redhelms" and the "Hand of God".

I got the feeling he wanted to use Vorlons without using Vorlons. And I can write them into the campaign.

Tell him to stop being a powergaming scumbag, and pick a proper fleet

Any Yolu fleet ? ;-)
Ask him if he can handle a pak'ma'ra fleet (that's a challenge)

I'm playing them in campaign versus Centauri, EA crusade and Minbari
(1st Ed rules)

Or ask him if he's ready to play Raiders/Civilian fleet ...

That's why the word NO was invented. While I think that the Thirdspace Aliens are pretty pointless unless for a specific scenario fleet; you could let him use the Dark Knife and tell him he's to make very detailed reports on every battle it attends for the campaign log while remaining undetected.

If he wants the high end (and mince at the low priorities) fleet, Shadows and Vorlons are probably the best bet.

As I said, there are plenty of fleets out there to choose from; twenty odd I believe. More than enough to satisfy anything but the most awkward gamer, and those are the ones you either ignore or that create their own lists and then no-one plays against them.
