STAR WARS EPISODE I: The Phantom Menace 01:16:39

Terrans

Humanity.

Listen well, for this is a tale of warning and of caution.

When humanity was first observed, many of the council thought they should be eradicated. A tumultuous and violent species who revelled in the destruction of their own kind. It was a close thing, but the council voted and humanity was allowed to develop - under the condition that none were to contact them until they were deemed ready.

Humanity never gave us the chance to do so.

They progressed their technology in timeframes yet unseen. They went from discovering electricity to landing on their own moon in a matter of decades - doing so with primitive technology, but it was a feat nonetheless.

From there they developed their own world - the space around their home planet Terra became a field of haphazard signals and messages, a bombardment of signals that interfered with our observational machinery. Due to this we weren’t ready when humanity ventured into the stars truly for the first time. They blasted themselves out of their atmosphere with controlled explosions of all things, their technology was nowhere near discovering antimatter coupling yet. Despite this they reached the edge of the quarantine zone within a matter of years, and we were discovered.

Despite our initial thoughts, humanity reacted very differently to us than expected. They didn’t wage wars on us, didn’t lay claim to our planets. They met us with unrestrained joy at finding others in the universe. They told us of their numerous attempts to reach out to us, and showed us some of their works of fiction that depicted how they imagined us (though they seemed to hide some others for reasons we couldn’t ascertain).

Humanity was welcomed into the stars, and they became commonplace. Their biology was baffling and their behaviour bizarre, but we accommodated them and they taught us how to work with them.

Centuries passed, and though the initial explorers were long gone, humanity had become a part of the council as low ranking members. Their species had become mostly peaceful, lowering their internal wars to less than skirmishes. Humanity’s violent and cruel nature seemed to have been tempered by the stars.

We were wrong.

From beyond the councils borders, beyond the observable space in the void, a threat appeared. They blasted through our sensors and demolished our border colonies in hours. Our intel on them was near zero due to the ferocity they annihilated our kin.

They reached the inner borders of the council, and the elder members prepared for a bitter battle. To our surprise, humanity asked to join the defence. They told us that their kin had settled on some of the border colonies, and that many had lost loved ones. We allowed humanity to join our last fight, even if we didn’t expect them to affect the battle.

We were wrong.

Many of my comrades who survived the battle have sleep terrors to this day. Not of the void settlers, but of the humans. The cruelty and viciousness we thought had disappeared from their culture came back with a vengeance. Who we had seen as scientists and farmers for centuries, comrades we had known for decades - they showed us that monsters don’t come from the void.

The void settlers never stood a chance. The council was barely able to get in formation before the battle was ended. If the void bringers tactics were ferocious, then the Terran’s were monstrous. For every ship they lost, every life they sacrificed, the void settlers lost a battalion, a planet’s worth of lives.

This loss brought the void settlers much shame and anger. They made a mistake that haunts me to this day. They used their speed to reach Terra before the council could relay to the humans the threat. Humanity watched as Terra split, as trillions of their families and non-fighting members were eradicated.

The fighting ceased. Humanity seemed to have frozen. Their fleets stopped dead in space and their communications went silent. Where humanity had been surrounded by wavelengths and frequencies that interfered with some technology still, the space around them became eerily silent, as though the death of the planet had killed even those off world.

The void settlers continued their attack on the council and disregarded Humanity. No need to worry about a broken opponent… Right?

They were wrong.

The Terran’s weren’t dead, or even broken. It was later revealed that the freeze had been due to grief. Humanity had lost its home world, but worse than that it had lost its peaceable citizens. The ones who should have been safe from the conflict.

All of humanity had watched, and all of humanity had grieved. But they were not broken.

The void settlers learnt this very soon.

Humanity descended on them in ways that made the last defence seem like a diplomatic discussion. We though we had seen the worst of humanity in our early observations. WE. WERE. WRONG.

Humanity has a saying “Hell hath no wrath like a woman scorned”, but the council has adapted it: “The void hath no wrath like a Terran without a home”.

The void settlers were routed from every planet they had taken. They retreated to the void leaving behind their technology and supplies, not even taking the time to recover some of their teams. But the humans didn’t stop.

In a move that the council had forbidden for millennia, the humans flew into the void. The entirety of the Terran race disappeared into the blackness beyond space and wasn’t heard from for longer than we had known of them.

The council mourned their losses, but viewed their final act as something done out of the madness of their loss. The Terran’s were remembered as warriors, as fighters, but also as family. They became known to those of us who’d seen them fight as “The angels of Death”.

I never expected to see a Terran again, assumed that the void had devoured them and their destructive grief with them. But one day a vessel I was onboard, tasked with assessing possible colonies to rebuild in the border planets - it detected something.

The frequencies and wavelengths of data that had only ever been human in nature. They were coming from the void.

The council watched as humanity emerged unexpected for the second time.

The flagship docked with our observation vessel, and the leaders came aboard to see us. I vaguely recognised the captain. Their features so slightly similar to the grief driven warrior we’d watched descend into the void. We asked what had happened, and the captain responded with the most chilling visage I had seen since the first footage of the void settlers. Their baring of their teeth was savage and joyous. So similar to the expression we saw at first meeting, yet so distorted. In that moment I saw what could have happened if the Terran’s had waged war on us.

“We won.”

Overview

The Exterminator is a BattleMech that was designed in 2630 for the most dubious, but necessary, of purposes: Head Hunting.

Capabilities

The weapons used by the Exterminator are not nearly as unique or high tech as the electronics on board. This Third Star League Royal version, first introduced in 3152, upgrades the medium and large lasers of the original SLDF Royal variant to Clan-spec, and adds a small pulse laser to deal with enemy infantry and light vehicles at close ranges. All the weapons were accurized, stabilized, and had improved cooling technology integrated, in an effort to allow the 'Mech to hit harder and generate as little heat as possible - aided by the use of Super-Cooled Myomer technology. The use of a prototype Improved Void Signature System, alongside the latest Wolfhound Active Probe and Archangel ECM Suite, allows the pilot to gather intelligence while remaining mobile and hidden from nearly all types of sensors. An armored cockpit and full head ejection system ensure the pilot has a fighting chance to survive and pass on their gathered intelligence, even if their 'Mech is shot out from under them. The removal of the Jump Jets is the primary downgrade over the original variant, but this was deemed an acceptable compromise to fit the stealth technology, as was the loss of a half-ton of Clan-spec Ferro Fibrous armor. Rumors of a self-destruct system designed to destroy the rest of the 'Mech in the event of imminent capture remain unconfirmed.

Deployment

This Third Star League Royal version, first introduced in 3152, was made in small numbers. Units rumored to be equipped with the new 'Mech include elements of the Fidelis, the SLIC Blackhearts regiment, and the SLSOC's WITCH COVEN units. Notably it was the only "Third League Royal" not offered for export sale, on account of its load of sensitive electronics and advanced stealth technologies.

History

The Exterminator was outfitted with a special Null-Signature System, heat baffles and, in some cases, a Chameleon Light Polarization Shield. These advanced systems allowed it to easily infiltrate enemy lines. Once the Exterminator breached the enemy's rear, its mission was to find and destroy as much of the enemy's command structure as possible. This mission profile included attacking mobile headquarters, field bases and command level officers. Rather than be part of the standard formation, Exterminators were attached to a regimental or higher headquarters unit, often as a fifth member of the command lance itself, before being assigned to individual units. A regiment was considered lucky to have more than one Exterminator, and it was not unusual for its parent unit to pull all assigned Exterminators and pool them for a specific mission. It was widely believed that the Exterminator had not survived the fighting of the First Succession War as there were lances whose sole mission was to hunt down and destroy this type of 'Mech (coupled with the destruction of General Systems' primary factory on Caph in 2793). In 3007, Kallon Industries (Thermopolis, Free Worlds League), looking for a replacement for their aging Wolverine, recovered blueprints for the Exterminator and immediately modified the design so that it could be built using the technology readily available. The result was a BattleMech not only far less effective than the original, but below the capabilities of even the Wolverine it was meant to replace. Only twenty-five of these Exterminators were produced and none survived past the Fourth Succession War, making the design effectively extinct in the Inner Sphere. Only later was it revealed that the Exterminator still existed in ComStar's private army, the Com Guards, although even here few were of the hyper-advanced stealth models, and while the Exterminator was retained by the Clans its decidedly "dishonorable" method of fighting meant few were used. ComStar continued to produce variants which took advantage of recovered lostech, and the design was used by the Word of Blake during the Jihad. An extensively-upgraded version of the design would return to prominence in the reborn SLDF of the Third Star League, issued out to special forces units of the SLDF and other paramilitary units.

Porsche M96 vs M97 Engines: What Changed and Why It Matters

When Porsche introduced the M96 engine in the Boxster and later the 996-generation 911, it marked a dramatic shift from the air-cooled flat-sixes of the past. For the first time, Porsche delivered a mass-produced, water-cooled flat-six that would define a new generation of sports cars.

The M96—and the M97 engine that followed—were both pivotal in Porsche's modern engineering evolution. Though they look nearly identical externally, there are several key differences and improvements worth understanding, especially if you’re rebuilding, maintaining, or shopping for one of these engines.

🔍 The M96 Engine: A New Era Begins

The M96 engine was a ground-up design, departing significantly from Porsche's traditional layouts. Key innovations included:

Three-piece crankcase with a separate crankshaft carrier

Lokasil casting process (similar to Alusil) for the case and integrated cylinder liners (via Kolbenschmidt)

Intermediate shaft (IMS) with a sealed ball bearing—not pressure-fed as in earlier air-cooled designs

Single head casting shared across both banks of cylinders, requiring dual chain drives on the IMS

VarioCam variable valve timing, a first for a flat-six production Porsche engine

Air/oil separator (AOS) introduced from the 968 platform

Cracked cap connecting rods for reduced manufacturing costs

Integrated dry sump lubrication system, technically a wet sump with added scavenge pumps in the cylinder heads

🔧 Five-Chain vs. Three-Chain Variants

Five-Chain Engines (1997–2002 Boxster / 1999–2001 911) Featured the original VarioCam system and were most similar in timing layout to earlier Porsche engines.

Three-Chain Engines (2003+ Boxster / 2002+ 911) Used a simplified VarioCam system with a vane cell adjuster offering better precision and control.

In 2002, Porsche 996.2 models received variable valve lift—technology carried forward into the M97 and beyond.

🛠 Transition to the M97 Engine

The M97 engine, introduced in 2005 with the launch of the 997 and used in Boxster and Cayman models through 2008, brought incremental—but meaningful—improvements:

Key M97 Changes:

Larger IMS Bearing (2006–08) Non-serviceable and more robust, reducing IMS failure risk compared to the earlier M96 single-row bearing. Although much stronger, the grease seal should still be removed off this bearing to extend its life.

Lokasil III (3) Casting Updated cylinder case casting for improved durability and consistency.

Simplified Oil Return System Replaced the swirl pot oil return system with a design that flings oil onto the sump wall to separate air from oil.

Removed Dipstick Replaced by an electronic oil level sensor—simplifying the interface but limiting visual checks.

Variable Valve Lift on 3.4L Engines Used in 2006–08 Cayman S and 2007–08 Boxster S models, mirroring the technology from 996.2 911s.

X51 Power Kit (Optional) Offered for both M96 and M97 engines in 911 models, featuring:

Performance cylinder heads

Performance camshafts

Oil baffle upgrades

Revised intake and exhaust systems

Despite these changes, both engines share the same basic architecture, and many components are interchangeable.

���️ Important Notes for Enthusiasts and Rebuilders

While some differences may seem subtle, understanding the evolution of the M96 to M97 is critical:

Engine reliability improved over time, especially with the larger IMS bearing and oiling changes.

Many parts have seen multiple revisions—often identified by the last two digits of the part number.

Both engines are fundamentally different from the MA1 engine introduced in 2009, which shares no components with either the M96 or M97. Even though the MA1 does not have an IMS bearing, it can still suffer from cylinder bore scoring, so please be aware of this fact.

Whether you're trying to determine which engine is in your car, looking to purchase a used Porsche, or planning an engine rebuild, knowing these differences will help you make informed decisions.

1+5 Times the Justice League Didn’t Know Flash Was a Genius

1. The Gadgets Glitch

It was a typical day at the Justice League headquarters when the team faced an unexpected problem: their advanced tech systems were malfunctioning. Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman were trying to pinpoint the issue, each attempting to use their expertise to troubleshoot the problem.

Barry Allen, the Flash, hovered in the background, trying to stay out of their way. The League members were busy arguing over possible solutions when Barry, bored, tapped away on a nearby console.

“Nothing’s working,” Batman said, frustration evident. “The tech just isn’t responding.”

Barry looked up and mumbled, “Have you tried rebooting the mainframe?”

Superman gave him a curious glance. “What do you mean?”

Before Barry could answer, he quickly fixed the glitch with a few rapid keystrokes. The tech systems hummed back to life. The League members exchanged puzzled looks.

“Barry, how did you—” Wonder Woman began.

Barry shrugged. “I’ve spent a lot of time messing around with gadgets. Just a hobby of mine.”

2. The Strategy Session

During a strategic planning session for an impending mission, the Justice League was trying to devise a plan to infiltrate a high-security facility. Batman was outlining the strategy on a digital map, while the others contributed their ideas.

Barry sat at the edge of the table, silently observing. The team was struggling with a particular aspect of the plan—how to get past a series of laser tripwires.

“Why don’t we just build a device that can detect the laser frequencies?” Barry suggested casually.

Green Lantern raised an eyebrow. “And how do you propose we do that?”

Barry shrugged again. “With the right sensors, it’s pretty straightforward.”

Batman was impressed but didn’t acknowledge it. Instead, he gave a nod of approval and incorporated Barry’s idea into the plan. The device worked flawlessly during the mission, but the League never learned where the idea had come from.

3. The Escape Plan

While dealing with an alien invasion, the Justice League found themselves trapped in a force field created by the invaders. The team was brainstorming ways to break free, but their attempts were failing.

Barry, fiddling with his suit, muttered, “What if we use a combination of sonic vibrations and electromagnetic pulses to destabilize the force field?”

Wonder Woman looked at him skeptically. “And how exactly do you know that?”

Barry smiled. “I’ve studied a few things. It’s not that complicated.”

When they implemented Barry’s suggestion, the force field collapsed, and the League was able to continue their fight. The team was grateful but remained unaware of Barry’s hidden intellect.

4. The Speed Force Dilemma

The Justice League was struggling to understand a phenomenon involving the Speed Force. Barry had been trying to explain the intricate details of the Speed Force’s behavior, but the team found it difficult to grasp.

“Barry, we need to understand the theory behind this,” Batman said. “Can you simplify it?”

Barry nodded and proceeded to break down complex concepts into easily understandable terms, using analogies and diagrams. The team was amazed at how quickly he made sense of the phenomenon, but they attributed it to his speed rather than his intellect.

5. The Mystery of the Vanishing Villain

One day, the League faced a villain who seemed to vanish into thin air. The team was baffled, trying to figure out the villain’s escape route and method. Barry was silently analyzing the situation while the League debated.

“Could it be a cloaking device?” Superman suggested.

Barry, having pieced together the clues, finally spoke up. “Actually, it’s more likely a series of high-frequency sound waves that distort light. I think the villain is using sound-based technology.”

The team was intrigued by his deduction but didn’t question Barry’s source of knowledge. They acted on his theory and successfully captured the villain.

1 Time He Showed Them Why

The Quantum Conundrum

The Justice League was facing a crisis involving a quantum rift threatening to tear apart the fabric of reality. The situation was dire, and the team was struggling to find a solution. They had tried everything from brute force to magical interventions, but nothing seemed to stabilize the rift.

Barry had been silently observing the crisis unfold. Finally, he stepped forward, breaking his usual silence. “I think I might have a solution.”

The League members looked at him with a mix of skepticism and hope. Barry began explaining his plan in precise, technical terms. He outlined a complex procedure involving quantum harmonics and precise timing to neutralize the rift. He also detailed how they would use the Speed Force to synchronize the stabilization process.

Batman’s eyes widened as Barry explained the intricate calculations. “How do you know all this?”

Barry grinned. “Let’s just say I’ve got a knack for understanding complex systems. I’ve been studying quantum physics and engineering for a while now.”

The Justice League, realizing the depth of Barry’s knowledge, watched in awe as he executed the plan flawlessly. The rift was stabilized, saving reality from collapse.

As they celebrated their victory, Superman clapped Barry on the back. “You’ve been hiding your talents for too long, Flash.”

Barry laughed. “Sometimes it’s more fun to let you all figure things out on your own.”

The League now understood that the Flash was not just the fastest man alive but also a brilliant mind capable of extraordinary feats. Barry’s moment of revelation solidified his place as one of the most valuable members of the team.
