![]() As a result, further official studies have been put on hold until more data can be accumulated. Given these inconsistencies, the GTVI has been unable to determine the motivations beind their behaviour. Moreover, no such hive or source of command appeared during the Second Incursion, where the Shivans conducted defensive operations in the nebular theater, deployed a Sathanas probe into Capella, and then pressed an overwhelming attack into Allied space. But GTVI investigation contraindicates this simplistic model. Some researchers have suggested this as evidence for a 'hive mind' model of Shivan behavior, with the Lucifer as a queen or leader. Almost overnight, the Shivans degenerated from a major threat to the survival of the Terran and Vasudan species and into a crumbling army of stragglers. With the superdestroyer gone, Shivan forces in Allied space lost strategic cohesion and ceased to aggressively pursue objectives. The most critical question concerns Shivan behavior after the destruction of the Lucifer. Where did the SD Lucifer and its accompanying fleet originate? Why did these Shivans exhibit technology that differed from that of the Shivans of the Second Incursion? If the Shivans were able to equip the Lucifer with an invulnerable sheath shielding system, why did they not also arm these vessels with beam cannons, flak guns, or subspace weapons as seen during the Second Incursion?Ĭonversely, why did Lucifer-class destroyers or their shielding systems not appear during the Second Incursion? This inexplicable variation in Shivan technology levels suggests that some deeper process is at work, one which Alliance analysts do not yet understand. In spite of this examination, and in part because of it, numerous questions remain unresolved. In the wake of the Capella disaster, Shivan behavior during the Great War underwent rigorous re-examination as part of GTVI's participation in the Threat Exigency Initiative. What conclusions could be drawn about Shivan behavior, organization, and objectives remained highly classified. With GTI's Shivan research projects buried, and the question of Earth's fate preoccupying Terran civilization, many aspects of the Great War remained largely uninvestigated. The destruction of the SD Lucifer in 2335 sealed the Sol-Delta Serpentis jump node and all its contingent phasing nodes, bringing the Great War to a halt and cutting off all contact with Earth. 24 Shivan behaviour (Narayana textures).23 Unknown Device Schematics (major spoilers).Let's go back to Pantone® 287, but I'd avoid anything below 286 or higher than 288, particularly those that resemble Carolina blue. Well, Duke chose to emulate the Dallas Cowboys, and their blue and white jerseys with gray (or silver) pants and helmets. ![]() There was a time, in the seventies, perhaps, that some colleges purchased team uniforms that matched those of NFL teams. My belief of how the move toward royal blue came about has to do with football uniforms a long time ago. In a computer color palette Duke Blue is hex 00,00,9C RGB 0,0,156 Hue=160 Saturation =240 Brightness=73. ![]() The Pantone® Process Color Imaging Guide formula for Duke Blue is 100% Cyan + 69% Magenta + 0% Yellow + 11.5% Black. The reason for the range of numbers relates to differences in printed materials, computer applications, and textiles. Colors in the range of Pantone® numbers 283 to 289 are used for Duke Blue. ![]() Duke Blue is registered as number 287 in the Pantone® Color Matching System ( ).
