Idus Martias

Yep, it's March 15 again, more commonly known as the Ides of March, the ancient Roman celebration day of Mars, God of War. With a military parade being the usual ceremony I had a thought, why not throw a military parade right here on CotI? Then I noticed that this March 15 is a new moon. The term Idus originally referred to the day of the full moon, seen as auspicious by the Romans. Interestingly we have a new moon instead, so let's use that as the tone for our own little celebration and parade any Black Ops military gear you want to share. Ships, Vehicles, Armor, Guns, Skills... whatever and any version.

I'll kick things off with a little CT LBB2(ish) Black (Globe :smirk: ) Ops player scale ship. Something a ref might let his players have so they can run clandestine missions for the IN...

Beware!
Beware the Ides of March, O Caesar!

Hmmm, sounds like the makings of a ghost ship or the unlucky ship of space...

Or a well-decorated warship/pirate battlecruiser.
