Karthos the basic history.
Karthos is a world of magic.
But to understand it, you have to go back a long way.... several thousand yearsor so.

Earth had been at war with a race called the dritz. by the end of the war both sides were devastated beyond measure and Earth had been wasted by bombardment.
Humans needed a way out, so they made a colony ship and sent it to a star they had found.
This star was karthos, and due to its asteroid belt was almost never visible to be found normally.
Karthos has an unusually large, thick, and broad asteroid belt that near completely blocks the star's light from leaving the system. Further, there is a divine aspect to the belt that acts like a shield against being found by any who would due it harm.
As it is, Karthos is a legitimate home to gods. In particular, the goddess of magic.

When humans arrived at Karthos, they found that while the planet was of an M class, and flourishing with life compatable with people... it was also problematic.
People were ill equipped to handle the planet's conditions. They were simply too weak to survive long. So one 'mad scientist' developed the karthos virus and administered it. The result was a genetic melting pot of all life on the planet.
People included.
In the end many things share some traits with several other races.
Human's were now equipped with dragon muscle mass, fairy blood, and ogre constitutions. Now able to survive aptly, they eventually did what all people do...
Turns out, they also inherited a higher penchant for conflict from that mix as well. They lost their space tech quickly within the first 3 generations due to this conflict and soon managed to rebuild their society in a medieval style... once the viral cocktail of genetic mixing had settled out and streamlined itself. Other races around karthos were similarly trying to figure their new selves out as well.

Now, we can fast forward a few thousand years.
The humans of Karthos became known as karthonian. They integrated into the ways of the world and became part of it. They also went to war with themselves regularly.
One day, during one such conflict, an archmage finished and opened an experimental gate. Connecting a passage across the stars.
Thus Karthonians were reintroduced to the Dritz.
However, it seems that over the centuries the humans that had stayed on earth had made peace with and formed a coalition with the dritz.
Overnight, Karthos' humans had returned to space tech.
With the Dritz they learned of a grand war being held between the human/dritz coalition and a race called the Baln. A crystalline based race of grate power.
And so Kathos, for the most part, found peace within its own ranks for the first time in memory as all of Karthos united to face the grand threat of the B'haln.
Their emergence into this conflict was swift, and impactful. In short turn they had managed to stop the advance of the B'haln and even reclaim lost territory from them.
What was starting to look hopeless for the coalition was now given a glimmer of hope.
However, the B'haln empire was massive. The coalition had held a few hundred star systems. The B'haln held millions. It was to turn into an eternal conflict with neither side able to beat the other. The Kathonians were simple too good at what they did and the b'haln were simply too powerful of an empire.

A sweet memory
This was a poem I received from a very important person in my life In September. It brought me much joy even though she didn't think it was all that good herself.

Te amo más que nada . Me encantaría morir sólo para ver una sonrisa en su cara. No puedo esperar para hablar con ustedes mi amor. Hasta entonces yo te doy besos apasionados y un montón de buenos recuerdos. Te amo.

I still get all melty when I read it.

Back from deployment
Well, Like it said, I'm back from deployment.
We left June 30th last year, and had our homecoming on the 8th of Dec.
in that time we hitup Panama for stores, crossed the equator, made our way to Peru for some fun before we helped train their navy in sea trials. (like sub hunting, that was a big theem). Then we went to Chile for the same thing. Then continued this endevor back upwards with Equadore. Finnaly hitting up Panama again for some R&R this time. joined some training exersises in virginia. went across the atlantic to train with the royal Navy off the scotish coast. scotland has beuatiful scenery, but the baltic is cold, windy, and choppy... and thats the good conditions.
Then we were surprised by a trip to Holland for some R&R before returning home. Only to leave like 6 days later (cause we got done with everything early we got a break at home) to go to Philly for support of the Army/Navy game.
then we got to come home.
I'll talk about the trip to Philly later.
We leave again for another go at this in April.
C-ya.

Life... too much dam sun.
Well, its been awhile again, but then, I haven't been able to get on from the ship.
Hmmm, last few month's I've spent alot of time out to sea for varrious sea trials.
Th elast of which was rewarded with a trip to the Bahamas. Where we spent 2 days chillin. And of corse this little demon got way too much sun, and for the first time in 8years, burned enough to peel, not fun.. rather anoying realy.
anyway, last few weeks have been POM, getting ready for our deployment down to south america. yay. should be ok. and we go to Scotland for awhile too. that I'd rather do in the spring then in the fall. But we should be back by late Nov or early Dec I think. yay, Yule at home.

More Combat, And More
And Still they fight
Never yiedling, even when they die.
Their lives and Honor be bound as one
No Dishonor, even in death
And never will they withdrawal the fray,
Except to face yet greater threat
These bold warriors, Brave and True,
Pay with sorrow their battle's due,
And never will they quit their task,
Except, perhaps, for helping you
One may surrender their sword in the keeping of you safe.
But the rest will battle on at this Frenetic pace.
But keep us safe they can and will,
Even if they may not fight their fill
So to the warriors let us give praise
For giving to us their life as freedom's pay
to keep us safe when they are needed
and standing true when never defeated.
