/Transmission Start/
My name is Drakador Chaos, here in my function as an emissary of the Blood Cult,
ah... yes the Blood Cult, many Races forged into one by the Blood they share,
the blood their beasts share, I´m one of the forgemasters, behold the power of the cult,
they will seek and hunt for any prey that attacked them, to fuel our temples,
so whenever you see one of their ships,
whenever you hear the screams of the those who attacked them,
run, or be devoured and fuel the evolution of the Cult...

War Report(K.o.L.):
The K.o.L. declared war upon the Hunters Cult, they were an newly founded faction coming from the Adonian Empire, they attacked Cult Patrols, and destroyed some of their ships, capturing and altering a Bloody Jackson, called Redemption now. After a bunch of smaller battles the Cult decided to strike back, they called their allies to war (Sylverians, Domini Naturae, Kel´Shir at that time) and pushed the K.o.L. out of the Cults´ territory. However the Cult was out for revenge for what the K.o.L. did so they attacked their borders and broke through them with a massive fleet, deploying a Bridgehead (Abominate Heart) within the borders. The K.o.L. further attacked the Cult but struggled doing so due to the overwhemling fleet they where faced with. Shortly after the deployment of the bridgehead the Cult called in their allies, which eliminated everything in Proximity of the warp-anchor. Faced with this even bigger threat, the K.o.L. started to research new technologies resulting in the Savior and the Goodwill-Class Artillery which slowed down the war efforts of the Cult tremendously. Despite of that the Cult decided to push forward towards the heart of the K.o.L. territory, lead by the Namek, the Flagship of the mainfleet leader. With the newly grown Blood-darts and a new close-combat tactic, the Cult and it´s allies were able to battle the Saviors with high efficiency, the Artillery was outranged by the Cults heavy Huntercannons, still, the battle was grimbut , eventually the Cult and it´s allies won, some say it´s got something to do with an incident at another part of the Border of the K.o.L. which left the BSFs´ Apophis heavily damaged but there is currently no proof for that...
After the war big parts of the K.o.L. was eradicated, the rest of them disbanded, but some say they formed anew in a place far enough away from to Cult...

The Predator
A rather fast ship that is part of the hunting fleet of the Cult always looking for more prey to sacrifice in the temples. Has a medium weaponry to keep up with it´s prey and back end thrusters for better maneuverability.
The Bloodvessel
A smaller Hunter ship that accompanies Predators and other bigger ships, equipped to hunt down stray ships and escape pods after battles.
The Bloodstained Priest
The Priest is a Command ship of the earlier Bloodfleet before they developed their today typical design, it had a few design flaws but it was usually accompanied by 8 or more of the Bloody Choirs. It was used to dominate fleets of small Spaceships or transport the Priests from one station to another.
Bloody Choir
The Choirs are the sideships of The Bloodstained Priests usually manned by their lower ranked Acolytes. They´re interceptors to defend the Priest from incoming attacks.
The Maw
A super-heavy siege ship of the Cult heavily armed and armored, it is at the front of the battle and takes the initial force of the fight and even if it is destroyed in battle, a whole fleet of fighters can still take cover behind it´s humongous carcass.
The Beheaded
A medium sized ship that was originally part of a bigger ship, but after being destroyed it´s head was still operational and kept fighting.
The Blood-Ark
One of the many temples of the Cult, floating on space defending their borders and fueling the Cult with Blood from the sacrifices. New Bloodcult members will be introduced to the rites on this station and undergo a hard training since one day they will be at the head of a Cult ship on their own and will have to control the vessels that run the ship.
The Spine
A "cargo" ship of the Blood-Cult transporting prisoners to the temples, made from 3 different parts (The head, the tail and the cargo segments) it can have from 1 up to 14 Cargo segments depending on the demand of storage space.
(a maximum sized Spine)
The Bloodguardian
Developed from the Beheaded it´s better armed and armored than it´s smaller brother, tasked with guarding cargo transports and stations it´s rather nimble for a guardian ship.
The Calamity-Thorn
A small Hunter that is part of the Calamity-swarm, coming right off it´s Tail, as long as there´s enough Blood within the Calamity it can regrow an infinite amount of them if enough time and "leftover" crew is given. Many have fallen thinking they destroyed all Thorns after the first wave was killed, when the second wave came in to ambush them.
(A sidenote: every time I detach those things I´ll have to change the flight angle, on every single one...douh)
Heavy Artillery Cruiser "Vein"
The heavy artillery cruiser Vein was recently invented, to aid the frontlines from afar, It´s not very fast but can turn rather quickly, inadequately armed for short distances it is usually accompanied by the close combat ships Marrow.
Bone-Marrow
Spinal-Marrow
The Marrows are fast and cheap fighters, they are used to distract or ambush enemy fleets, so the cruisers and artillery can attack from afar, there are 2 versions of them one built with Blooddragons, the Bone-Marrow, and a heavier Ravager version, the Spinal marrow, they are considered expendable, not because of their low cost, but because they can regenerate completely after battle even when heavily damaged.
The Abominate Heart (Blueprints not available)
The Abominate Heart was a massive station, used as a warp-anchor and Bridgehead in a past war, it allowed allied fleets to warp right into enemy territory. The Abominate heart was forged from similar Arks and Maws, to get the energy needed for the warp anchor and provide additional defense, even though being humongous and heavily armed, it´s always accompanied by Maws and Artillery Cruisers and their sideships.
The Blood-dart
The Blooddart is basically just a Hunter and engines, it was brought to life during the war efforts against the K.o.L. to counter their heavily shielded Saviors, the tactic of the Blooddart is ramming it´s main cannon right through the shields and the armor of the enemy, into the hull and fire it´s devastating rounds into the enemies ships, bypassing nearly all defensive measurements and heavily damaging most crafts. They were not seen again since the war.
The Calamity Prototype
/Visual data missing
The Calamity Prototype is a humongous ship, that some of the K.o.L.-war survivors told of, they said it was bigger than a small moon, had the destructive force of entire fleets and had 4 Wings and a tail, however all of this, is just based upon stories, no evidence could be found up to this day...
