Nation Building Rifts in Space

[Donder172]

If it works, It works.

True.

 

[Hazeron]

That's actually the doctrine of my faction.


Modern guns and designs worked, so instead of coming up with crazy shit, they just stuck with gunpowder, fire and manuever tactics, tanks, etc.


They just updated it with "modern" materials technology, and added drones, APS, and such to the mix.

Bullets can't cut through advanced steel beams.


that is why we invented the "fire at the direct same spot" doctrine.

Naw. Nuclear weapons: 30 megaton, 50 megaton, and 200 megaton payloads in terms of what we are doing is not alot. The only ridiculous megaton on there is 200. While my nation can produce all types of megatons, there is no absolute point for a 200 megaton bomb as the fallout even in space would cause un-needed casuailities to your own ships and troops.


Vastime mostly uses kinetic weapons and SBMs/ICBMs (Space Ballistic missles, Intercontinental ballistic missiles.) following the halo in terms of that a bit. Don't let the numbers scare you, a well thought out plan and quick battle field thinking can trump most of anything. Like do you understand how much it would cost to produce a 200 megaton bomb and the ridiculous nature of it? Simply unpractical and if I do encounter him and he proves hostile I'll show just why I outfitted my navy just as I did.


I purposefully left out info such as the megatons of my bombs, compliments to my ship (missile pods etc), etc because this shouldn't turn into number wanking. I have that info yes, and will send it to the creator if need be but simply I just rather do the rp when it starts and grow my people.

Also side note for those you speaking about dark matter and energy, I just like to throw out there we don't even fully know what either are. In fact we have a number of theories. Dark energy simply effects the expanding of the universe as we know it, that is it. I don't understand how dark energy can atomize a organic being. You're taking something like fire and changing the properties completely as a example. Just saying that nothing is perfect and will always be a end game level thing. We have years to grow in this roleplay (icly). If your dark energy whatever it is can atomize organic beings then I'm assuming it's poop against in organic substances like shielding, other energy, metals, etc.


My biggest pet peeve in nation roleplays is when people create end game tech and nations who seem like precursors from halo (the people before forerunners.) While no one is being super OP in terms of military FROM WHAT I'VE BARELY seen. I do worry that some of ya'll will come into thinking you can just be like lol 'better tech and bigger ships.' Realty check, ships are expensive. Weapons are prototypes. People die. Loosing one ship means you've lost vauble tech, expensive missiles, and lives. Be careful how you play. I could rant on a whole bunch of mechanics but all you gotta take away is:


Wait till we get in the actual rp before we yell OP or mary sue. Not only is is disrespectful to your fellow players but also might make people shy away from this. If you got a problem take it to PM or the creator. @Kazami42 @Sohisohi @Hazeron @Donder172 I only tagged ya'll because your the only ones on this page and I wasn't about to go look for everyone else. Just my general thoughts, I'm ready to start roleplaying lmao.

Dark matter, I am using the same mechanics the combine but adding reactors and energy conduits to it. [The only way i can say it without losing you] Which means on a planet It is the same as i displayed a miniature test of with the strider. To people it atomizes them, To buildings it simply blows them up like a oversized tank shell. However in space it'd be with similar property but much more useful and destructive. That is 1: why there are ships with it instead of just powered by it, and 2: If it was useless i wouldn't of used them.


I could explain dark matter however i would most likely be replied with: "SPEAK IN ENGLISH!" Besides, That's the planet version which is 70X smaller and what not. Of course that'd be shit against the majority of star ships. xD

What I'm getting from this is you are using it like a controlled volatile energy, similar to nuclear energy in uses. I understand 'science' speak to a point I suppose. They are simply another form of energy to be put bluntly with no super advantages or disadvantages correcT?


EDIT 1: I'm not saying it was useless but that nothing is a end all be all energy, there has to be flaws and what not was all I was applying. So long as you play fairly and just I won't have a problem.

'


The otaru adapt to its aggressors. Such as if they were to go to war with earth, while it was in its wwi state, Or would be similar to WWI tech or medieval tech. They aren't just bastards who go around killing just to kill lol.


Depends but pretty much. A energy usage of it is in the misc documentation under neath the citadel information. which it is used to power a entire city. So yeah.


However the weapon version of it on the planet is simply...... Imagine a big bulky shotgun in what it looks like, But the barrel is very smooth and long while the ass end of it is oversized in comparison to everything else. As said it can only attack people and atomize them, However it can also be used to destroy buildings. like a oversized tankshell would take down the front end of a house. like a battering ram.


The space generator [on the flagship lookalike anyway.] Is the same as the citadel. [You'll have to read about that one.] However the weapon variant is not anything really special. It doesn't atomize ships, It doesn't entirely cut through ships in half. It basically does the same as a building with the earth variant. However due to being longer, bigger/wider, and capable of holding more of it. Basically it would shoot part of a ship and blow a hole into it depending on how thick the armour is. so say dracos, I could pop a few holes into him, he'd still be capable of....... "moving" i guess, there isn't really a term for flying in space. and proceed as usual. The only difference being he has some large holes in his haul with people floating out of it.


Small ships including dropships which would be caught in the beam would be entirely destroyed. And ships that aren't small, but are similar or semi-larger than my frigate would experience the same issue as the larger ship, holes. Only difference being even LARGER holes. But let me put it this way.


Would you rather have them act like THIS:

And instantly just kill "dat ass" with using ionized gases and particles, Or with "sun power" Surprise:

Spoiler

[media]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HmWDdmTAE8[/media] [Though the firing lazer beam is basically the same but smaller and doesn't instantly kill you.]
Or would you rather just have a similar beam of light, which all it does is shoot at you after around 10 minutes of charging, and pops a similar to implosion detonation onto your haul and then lets it float in space. Which only affects parts of the ship connected to that damaged section, that cannot be sealed? Because i imagine starships with any form of sealing doors somewhere. This would be like a bomb on the size of a really reinforced building.


Here i know of a ship in kotor that looks like it got blasted 28 times by one, let me find it for ya. hold on.

Imagine that. [Well of course there would be more than just burning damage, and you could look inside of the hole to the interior but yeah. pretty much that in enough blasts. The smallest hole being on the far front of the ship. However of course it is as long - large as one of my flagships so yeah. Dropships and similar small ships are equal or smaller than that hole and yes it is a hole. while medium ships are bigger and longer than that hole by a large majority, while large ships like this are well... That. I mean unless you let them just repeatedly blast at you, If you have a large ship it isn't gonna have too much of a problem unless its next target is the bridge. Which usually it only targets other vital points such as fuel, engines, weapon - ammunition storages and letting that kill you.] So while still being a useful weapon, It doesn't instantly "rekt" anything. Unless it gets a direct hit on the above vital points, the worse you'd have is alot of holes in your ships if you let it blast away at you, and everyone inside a sealed area suffocates to death and floats out of the ship. Though to be honest i have ships larger and longer than my "flagship lookalike" which are made to ram you, and then have all the personnel on board ironically enough board your ship if it survived and steal it if possible or place mines down rendering it destroyed or useless. Which i haven't added. However depending if anyone goes imperium of man levels of ship insanity, It may or may not be made to steal their large ships. However there are ships i have which are bait ships. which only look destroyed, or basically are and are repaired but to look like they're destroyed still. to get past borders, invade and steal ships, and or look like that in the above picture. Which main purpose is to intimidate people, aid in stealing ships, or to collect a population from a population center and or indoctrinate them. not really a warship.


So basically, It sounds like the starkiller base that is mobilized. However it really isn't. However you probably met them, There are people who read things that only sound devastating however realistically are not. and then complains OP over it. Which if you've met, you'd know how annoying they are. lol. Anymore questions i can help you with?

As i told the "qwatt master" The otaru are usually friendly so. Unless something happened they wouldn't attack randomly. unless a reason was say needing a population center area. because some districts also have a "the more you have, the more you get" type of deal. where the more kids you have the more benefits of life you can get easier. So there is that as well but they would at least look about before they try invading someone. They are basically the friendlier version of the empire in star wars.

I'm going to fast track your nation, so that way we can get this thing started immediately.


If not today, then tomorrow morning.

Disadvantages:
Despite being trained for even as long as any other, and trained and has as much knowledge as any other trained soldier, There are teenagers in the military of the ages 16 - 19. Usually wearing a armored/militarized school uniform.


Despite most high ranks being insane, there is a rare few who are rogue.


however rogues are usually killed off or rehabilitated.


Most big ass technology are easily killable/disactivatable.


Vastly hostile when in war.


Usually has powers such as "shifting" aka looking like someone else are forbidden.


Blunt.


Uses multiple fuel methods, so anyone with similar fuel can come across ruins of technology and take them if other technology don't reactivate secretly and kill them.


Has a fascination with experimentation with most technology being tested and mass-scaled. however most still being experimental anyway.


^^^What^^^


Any people who are accepted to live in otaru space are obligated to follow their laws.


Merciless in war. <- How are two these downsides.


OSF [Otaru special forces] Being the most extreme faction branch of the military. Upon seeing it, It is considered that you're already dead or the area they're in are to be used for war and everyone in it to leave or die. so thus they usually use them at a low frequency except in special conditions or a certain criteria is met, and uses the national guard as the main military.


Since the majority of things are anti-matter powered - Nuclear powered. <- As in. . . Your ships and tanks?


There is very unlikely for survivors unless they found a room more reinforced than the starship itself, or got out of the area.


^^^Under what circumstance^^^


Large ships can't go quickly through any planet atmosphere without being ripped apart slowly, and the reactors inside over heated and over charged.


Adapts to civilizations they're at war with. [Like if they fought against humanity while humans were still in Vietnam era. Then otaru would fight using usually only WWI technology, or things similar in appearance.].

By rogue, do you mean deserters?
By this, do you mean your nations becomes hostile to everyone, even allies?


Blunt. . . What?


"anyone with similar fuel can come across ruins of technology and take them if other technology don't reactivate secretly and kill them." What?

Name:
Star: Neru nikita. K-type.


First planet/Volcano world: Hercules.

Third planet/Gas Giant: visk.


Fourth planet/Ringed planet: Otaru. [Home planet, multiple, 1 super moon.]

Sixth planet/Water giant: Zeta. [1 volcanic satellite.]


Seventh planet/Ice/Winter planet: norsaki.


Eighth Planet/satellite: keslikov. [Jungle planet.]


Ninth planet/Barren: sadarha. [Rock planet.]


Tenth planet: Castiel. [2 moons, a forest/jungle moon, and a ice moon.] [Jungle-esk planet on one half, the other half being rocky and a barren desert.]

I did grant you the ability to start with more worlds, though this is too much. Last time we talked about this, it sounded like you just wanted your home world and a larger planet to rotate around a gas giant. Now you have 14 planetoids, 13 of which can all be inhabitable at some point. No amount of disadvantages would grant you this big of a system.

DISCLAIMER: NO IMAGES USED IN THIS SPECIES SHEET ARE OWNED BY ME. ALL IMAGES ARE USED FOR NON-PROFIT ACTVIITY (IN THIS CASE, HAVING FUCKING FUN).


[species Sheet]


Name:Homo Sapiens


General Life-Span (Eternal Allowed): 90 years without surgery, several hundred with surgery and augments


Appearance: Human beings have a wide variety in their appearance, but in general they shared a bipedeal humanoid shape with 2 arms attached to their chest, and two legs attached to their pelvis. They have two eyes, a nose, and a mouth with both incisors and grinding teeth. They are generally 5 to 6 feet tall when mature, and are of average build.


Attributes: Human beings are possessed by a strong sense of curiosity. They are known for trying to discover anything they can, and have a long history filled with exploration. With training, they also make adept fighters. They are also quite industrious. They are generally accepting and can be considered an amicable people; however, there are still some racist groups in existence.


History: Humans arose several million years ago on the planet Earth, in the Sol system. For most of the existence of humanity, they lived in extremely simple hunter-gatherer societies. However, around ten thousand years ago, humans began to domesticate plants and animals, allowing them to form advanced civilizations. In the year considered 2030 by their calendar, scientists in Germany discovered how to build viable space elevators, greatly increasing their ability to utilize space. 20 years later, another nation known as Japan discovered the key to space; practical FTL. The Trans-Fukishaw engine (named in honor of it's inventor, Fukishaw Kojima) operates by ripping open a "hole" in space, leading to an alternate dimension referred to as Slip-space. Distances in this dimension are greatly dilated; 100 miles in Slip-space is about a tenth of a light year in real space (meaning a ship that can travel 600 MPH can reach the nearest star to Earth, which is 4 light years away, in seven hours). However, the size of the engines mean it can only be mounted on ships, and Slip-space is filled with exotic radiation, meaning ships must be specially shielded to ensure the survival of the crew. Around this time, the EU, headed by Germany at the time, organized most of the world's nations into a single government after several decades of action with the UN.


[Faction Sheet]


Name:Republic of United Systems


Type of Government:Representative Democracy


Leader(s): President


Home Planet: Earth, Sol System


Morality: Lawful Neutral


History: Established in 2110 by Germany, the RUS has spread throughout Sol and multiple surrounding systems. It is a capitalistic system, with laws in place to prevent abuse by corporations. Laws are proposed by a house of elected representatives from the colonies, while a President commands the military and heads the government. A senate of 12 judges also goes over laws, ensuring the following the RUS constitution. The main points of the constitution include:


Freedom of religion, speech, and press


The right to bear arms to defend yourself


Rights to protect citizens from governmental abuse


Limits on mechanization of industry to make sure people can still be employed


Synthetic lifeforms that are proven to be fully sapient are considered human and have the full rights of any other citizen of the RUS


Alien lifeforms that are proven to be fully sapient are considered human and are eligible to be granted citizenship to the RUS


They have had many encounters with hostile "swarm races" (non-sapient races characterized by a hive-mind and an insane desire to expand) as they colonized the space around Sol. They have fought fungal, insectoid, and more exotic swarm races, leading to them having a relatively medium sized standing army.


Economy: Capitalistic. Paper currency known as Euros. Most space exploration and colonization efforts are privatized.


Organizations:


RUS high command; contains all the command elements of all branches of the RUS military.


RUS air-force;responsible for in-atmosphere aircraft.


RUS Infantry; contains infantry commanders


RUS Mechanized: commands mechanized vehicles


RUS Navy; Commands all spaceborne ships owned by the military.


RUS Central Government: Contains all civic and governmental institutions and positions.

Loading BOPI files


Burea of Paranormal investigation


Classified organization dedicated to the defense of the RUS from anomalous artifacts. When miners unearth an ancient alien artifact and suddenly start a death cult dedicated to some unknown diety and begin practicing blood magic, these are the guys who cover it up.


They have facilities throughout RUS space. The most "prominent" is Site 7, a secure holding facility on the planet REDACTED, in the REDACTED system. Site 7 stores multiple artifacts currently being studied by the BOPI.


The BOPI maintains a military branch known as the Mobile Task Force. They also maintain a small fleet, usually used for transporting MTF squads and raining down hellfire when a threat is unable to be contained.


Culture: There is a massive variety of cultures in the human race, because of natural geologic borders during humanity's early history. However, several main groups exist. There is a massive amount of mix between the groups, and even then there are massive mixtures in the groups themselves, so this is a rough outline.


European: Characterized by classic (modern day) architecture, a strong sense of innovation, and classic European values, Europeans are a ambitious people who love their ancestors culture. They mainly speak German or english, and follow Christianity.


Neo-Arabic: A strange blend of cutting edge technology and down to Earth values characerize the Arabic people. Arabic people are known for being extremely inventive and strive for modernization, in an attempt to bring back the Golden Age of the Muslim world. Many Arabic cities have skyscrapers next to humble stone Mosques, and traditional Muslim garb goes alongside vests and suits. Liberal Islam is commonly followed, but radicals still exist amongst fringe groups.


Asiatic: Asiatic culture is heavily influenced by ancient Chinese values (due to their prevalence in early human history), leading to many similarities in the region amongst eachother, such as a honor focused society and what is known as "Far East architecture". This has decreased in modern times, but it can still be found in a common respect for elders and a strong sense of pride intheir culture.


Slavic: Located mainly in central and northen Asia, Slavs are an...interesting group, with dozens of different languages and culture. However, they share a common majority of Russian Orthodox christianity, and a efficient style of building. However, they are quickly trying to make up for the damage the USSR did while it was in power.


African: Another mixture of the old and new, African culture has a very homely feel to it; known for their powers in trade, and many of the largest manufacturing corporations are based in Africa due to it's large open space, workforce, and resources.


Technology:


Power systems: Mainly fission and fusion for cities; use of fossil fuels mainly for land vehicles or generators for smaller installations, as well as renewable energy.


FTL: Slip-Stream; utilizes an alternate dimension where distance is greatly dilated in comparison to real space.


Space travel engines: Fusion drive for forward momentum. A deuterium fusion reactor ejects it's plasma out a series of rockets on the back of the ship, propelling it forward at high speeds. Fine maneuvering is accomplished by small rockets firing out compressed air along the ship, and all ships have emergency shaped charges for quickly dodging attacks or getting some extra thrust.


Medical: Shadowrun level genetic and mechanical augmentation, anti-aging treatments, reliable cancer treatment.


Space to surface: Vast majority of space borne ships cannot make planetfall without being trapped. Most movement of cargo is performed by orbital elevators. The only ships that can make planetfall and take off again are large, specialized transports, usually used for military landing operations or for civilian shipping. Smaller shuttles for transporting people are ineffecient for usage as military transports due to their large profile and slow speed.


Industrial: Mostly modern technology for production. Most raw materials are collected from asteroids or large scale ground mining operations.


Corporations


Mars Tech


CEO: Torgue Johnson, 70 years old. Born 2020, March 7th http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/borderlands/images/6/65/Torgue_Intro_1.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20121121054124


Assests: Mines and factories on Mars, Africa, and other planets


History: Established in 2043 by Torgue Johnson, Mars tech was the foremost provider of mining equipment and a major investor in the mining industry for the first colonies in Sol. However, this changed in 2050, August 3rd, on the day the first slip space engine was succesfully tested. The activation of the engine caused one of the main mining complexes Mars Tech owned on Deimos, one of the moons of mars, to go silent. Unfortunately, Torgue was touring the facility on that day to inspect word of ruins found on the planet. 2 days later, when a recovery team was sent, it was discovered that they had done the impossible; they had unlocked the gates to Hell itself. The facility was overrun by gibbering horrors; however, what they didn't expect was that one man would drive them back. Torgue was determined to not let these Demon motherfuckers take over the facility; he organized the few survivors left to barricade themselves into the repair bay, using mining equipment and mining hardsuits to hold off the demons. Meanwhile, Torgue grabbed a chainsaw, a sawn off shotgun, an automatic rifle, and a set of security armor, and delved into the depths of the facility. He fought his way through hordes of demons, before going into hell itself. He managed to destroy the artifact keeping the gate open, barely escaping Hell before it was locked forever. (Still iamge taken from camera near digsite: http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/square_small/12/120457/2136167-3.jpeg) With the portal closed, the remaining survivors decided that it was now their duty to create the biggest, baddest weapons to fight any further threats to humanity. Today, Torgue is now a hardass that personally advertises for Mars Tech's products, and they produce some of the most badass weaponry available.


ARMA Corp


CEO: John Kondrad, Age unknown, Birth Date unknown http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/specops/images/a/a9/Konrad.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120713123726


Assests: Arms manufacturing plants across universe


History: Established in 2031 by it's founder Richard Harrison, ARMA Corp was a major weaponry producer on Earth. However, in 2053, a man named John Konrad managed to outmanuever other share holders and acquire the trust of the board, gaining a majority in the company's stocks and being assigned CEO of ARMA corp. It is unknown where he comes from, and any of his background; he showed up one day in the former United States with a large sum of money and an entire mercenary outfit that he identified as "The Damned 33rd". He immediatly set out to expand ARMA corp, outsourcing to foreign vehicle manufacturers and absorbing DHB Industries' Point Blank Body Armor. This allowed them to become one of the largest arms manufacturers in the RUS, with multiple government contracts.


(Prepare for wall of text)


General tactics: RUS tactics rely on heavy amounts of support and electronic warfare. Command structures are high priority targets, and electronic warfare forces will incessantly attack enemy communications and guidance systems. Combat wise, infantry rely on Fire and Manuever tactics, using heavy volumes of fire to suppress enemies, while another group advances on the enemy. Once there, the advancing squad will either flank the enemy to cut them down from an angle where they aren't protected by cover, use grenades to kill them, or in rare cases, advance into melee combat. Artillery, air support, and orbital bombardment are also heavily used during Fire and Maneuver, replacing the advancing squad; a squad suppresses the target, before requesting a strike on the target's position. Trapped by the supressive fire, they will hopefully be destroyed by the attack.


Armored vehicles are ALWAYS supported by infantry riding in APC's to help screen for infantry and prevent flanking, along with IFV's. However, these tactics require large amounts of supplies to support, and a massive support unit. A regular army group requires many mechanics, drivers, and other such personnel to keep the army supplied.


Infantry


Equipment


AV-73


Frontier


An...unorthodox melee weapon, the AV-73 can best be described as a chainsaw with a sword handle. For safety reasons, one edge of the blade (the one facing the wielder) has a cover built in. Usually used in close quarters jungle combat by the especially insane.


Tru-Steel Machete


Frontier


Military Grade Machete made with a tungesten-steel alloy, making it hard and still letting it have a thin blade. Can be used to cut (studs on back of blade), chop, or carve. Standard equipment for jungle operations. Very good at killing eldritch abominations or parasitic aliens.


Parachute


ARMA corp


Literally just a parachute. Used by paratroopers, or orbital troopers (they parachute from orbital landers. Yes, they are that insane.)


Tactical flash-light


ARMA corp


Steel frame heavy duty flashlight designed to be used in any environment. Watertight, vaccum resistant, and comes with a spike for insertion into the ground. Standard issue.


M3-Combat knife


Frontier


Tempered steel combat knife. Standard issue. Can also function as a bayonet.


MT-37

Laser designator used to call in guided munitions. Rugged and waterproof. Has minor EMP hardening.


M80-Anti personnel mine


Mars tech


Area of denial device. Buried underground and activated; when the sensors on top indicate movement, it launches four charges through the ground and into the air, where they will detonate, sending lethal shrapnel flying in a 180 arc around it. Range of detonation is variable, allowing you to detonate it at knee, stomach, head, or any other level up to 10 feet. Can be fitted with incendiary and white phosporous explosives.


Also comes in an anti-tank variety, where the 4 launch tubes are replaced with one large launch tube that shoots a heavy AT charge directly upwards into the bottom of a passing vehicle. Has anti-tamper systems that causes the device to detonate if not properly disarmed.


Weaponry and Armor


RUS weaponry is designed to be reliable and highly modifiable. They purely use kinetic weaponry; while lasers have better penetrative power, the fact that the beam doesn't tumble or expand while it goes through the body means that it doesn't deal as much actual damage as a bullet. Overheating issues and limited range due to energy dispersion have also blocked their attempts to make reliable laser weaponry.

RM-45 Standard Issue Combat Vest *KNEE PADS AND ELBOW GUARDS NOT SHOWN IN PICTURE*


ARMA corp.


Including a helmet with an integrated Heads up display, the standard issue armor of the RUS infantry corps is an all around good suit of armor. The chest armor is a empty frame that can be inserted with a variety of armor plating; different sizes and strengths are used depending upon the situation. The common plate is a solid block of specialized ceramics that shatter on impact to spread the force of the bullet around, coated by a layer of steel. It can stop around 5 7.62x39 rounds at standard engagement range. It has enough space for around 12 magazines, several grenades, a bayonet, and a sidearm. It comes in multiple camouflage patterns, including digital, jungle, desert, and many more. The uniform underneath is made out of a high strength synthetic fabric that traps heat and is easy to wash. Comes in as many color variants as the armor itself.


Heavier versions with full limb protection are available.


Also comes with an optional hazmat variant; a enclosed hazmat suit with integrated air filter and air supply, made out of flak weave, and with metal reinforced boots. Chest plate and full limb armoring cover the suit.

http://media.moddb.com/images/games/1/10/9998/Jetpack_Concept.jpg


Frontier


Harrier Jetpack


A light jetpack given to some soldiers in terrain that can require the use of a jetpack. It has enough fuel for 2 minutes of continuous flight, and can hold up a grown man in full combat gear.


Power Armor: The RUS fields several models of power armor. Power armor is controlled by the operator through a nueral interface that allows them to move the armor like it is an extension of their body, and use onboard systems without physical input.


A1 Model (http://orig09.deviantart.net/e149/f/2015/288/f/1/cod_ghost___juggernaut_for_xnalaraxps_by_kalash_1947-d9cdh8u.jpg): 7 feet tall. Produced by Mars Tech. Has a series of servo-motors that enhance the wearers strength, allowing them to flip a car and lift 15 times their body weight. Protection is offered by a series of extremely thick padded titanium-tungesten plates, with a heavy flak underweave. Hazmat variety comes completely self contained. Armor plating is capable of withstanding 300 rounds of 7.62, or 1 12.7 (.50) shells. Actual armored vehicles beat it in every way, and anything vaguely resembling an anti-armor weapon will easily defeat it. Can maintain a slow walking pace of 3 MPH, and a running pace of 7 MPH. Runs off of pre-charged energy cells, powering the armor for 24 hours of intensive activity. Comes with an inbuilt HUD that counts the amount of ammo in the integrated weapons, integrity of the suit, and environmental conditions.


B1 Model (http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/blacklighttangodown/images/b/b8/BLR_Hardsuit_White.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130313083807): 8 feet tall. Also produced by Mars Tech, the B1 model of power armor has improved defensive capabilities over the A1 model. It's armor can resist 500 rounds of 7.62x39mm or 3 12.7 rounds. It also has a nuclear fuel cell, allowing it to operate for several days without recharge. Like the A1 model, it has a HUD. It also allows the wearer to lift 30 times their body weight. However, it can only move at a slow pace of 3 MPH; it cannot sprint at all. To offset this, it has built in jump jets, allowing it to reach the upper stories of building or quickly jet across the ground. Has a built in motion tracker with a range of 40 meters.

V5 Hulk


ARMA Corp


This 4 tracked tank is designed to be able to conquer any terrain. The tracks give it unparalleled traction and suspension, allowing it to traverse even the rockiest terrain. It has 3 layers of armor: a 8 inch thick layer titanium-tungesten alloy, a 8 inch thick layer of ceramic plating designed to spread out the force of an impact to reduce penetration, and a second 8 inch thick layer of titanium-tungesten alloy. It is angled at strategic areas to increase the chance of richochet. The surface of the armor is also coated in bricks of high-explosive; when a projectile of sufficient mass and velocity strikes it, the brick detonates, sending out an explosive blast that either nuetralizes or negates some of the energy of the projectile. The armor is held at an angle, increasing the chance incoming projectiles will ricochet off. It is powered by a high grade diesel turbine, and can sustain a pace of 60 MPH on flat roads, and around 40 on rough terrain.


Crew:1 commander, 1 gunner, 1 pilot


Armanent: Pintle mounted Browning, 500 round box magazine


Coaxial RPK-25 pounder, autoloader containing 2000 rounds


Hull mounted RPK-25, autoloader with 2000 rounds


120 MM rifled cannon (Can fire HEAT, SABOT, canister, or HE). Can carry up to 80 shells in total, of any mix of shell types


Defensive systems:


Active defense system; a miniature "grenade launcher" on top of the tank is hooked up to a series of sensors around the tank. When it detects incoming projectiles, it fires a high speed grenade at the incoming projectile in an attempt to redirect or detonate it. It is ineffective against multiple targets coming from different directions, or kinetic perpetrators (SABOT shells). Connected to an internal supply of 25 grenades.


Smoke grenade launchers: Two three barreled grenade launchers on the front of the tank fire out smoke grenades. The smoke, besides hiding the vehicle from view, also fools IR sensors and smart missiles.


Badger IFV


Blackwater


A fast and light vehicle designed for anti-infantry work. During armored assaults, they ensure that the MBT's are protected from infantry attempting to flank them.

WW Gott


Mars Tech


Based off of German "Wunder Weapon" designs (and maybe one or two science-fantasy novels), the V1 Gott is an ungodly killing machine. It is the size of a two story suburban house, and covered in weapon emplacements. Modern materials and power supplies enable to to actually be a feasable combat vehicle, and improvements in anti-air weaponry have negated the threat airplanes face to tanks as large as this. Deployed in wide open areas to remove anything vaguely resembling an armed vehicle. Usually acts as the command vehicle of an armored regiment. Powered by several high grade diesel engines; can manage about 30 MPH on flat roads, and 15 on rough terrain

Dyson Corp


A combat android designed to augment human forces, the Imitantur is equipped with a self learning artifical intelligence that can eventually grow to a full human conciousness. Each unit is given a monthly turing test, and once it unanomiously passes it it is declared a full citizen of the RUS and allowed to choose it's own career; if it chooses to leave the military, it's conciousness is transfered into a demilitarized shell. The militarized Imitantur shell is a tungesten-steel composite frame, with hydraulics granting it the strength of 15 men. The AI core is located inside of it's chest, along with a rechargeable 48 hour battery. The 'chest' of the chassis can survive 2 7.62x39mm rounds at standard combat range, and they are generally equipped with standard issue armor to increase their survivability. The "eye" on the front has up to 3 times the power of the human eye, and comes with NV, IR, and a HUD built in.

[species Sheet]


Name:Homo Sapiens


General Life-Span (Eternal Allowed): 90 years without surgery, several hundred with surgery and augments


Appearance: Human beings have a wide variety in their appearance, but in general they shared a bipedeal humanoid shape with 2 arms attached to their chest, and two legs attached to their pelvis. They have two eyes, a nose, and a mouth with both incisors and grinding teeth. They are generally 5 to 6 feet tall when mature, and are of average build.


Attributes: Human beings are possessed by a strong sense of curiosity. They are known for trying to discover anything they can, and have a long history filled with exploration. With training, they also make adept fighters. They are also quite industrious. They are generally accepting and can be considered an amicable people; however, there are still some racist groups in existence.


History: Humans arose several million years ago on the planet Earth, in the Sol system. For most of the existence of humanity, they lived in extremely simple hunter-gatherer societies. However, around ten thousand years ago, humans began to domesticate plants and animals, allowing them to form advanced civilizations. In the year considered 2030 by their calendar, scientists in Germany discovered how to build viable space elevators, greatly increasing their ability to utilize space. 20 years later, another nation known as Japan discovered the key to space; practical FTL. The Trans-Fukishaw engine (named in honor of it's inventor, Fukishaw Kojima) operates by ripping open a "hole" in space, leading to an alternate dimension referred to as Slip-space. Distances in this dimension are greatly dilated; 100 miles in Slip-space is about a tenth of a light year in real space (meaning a ship that can travel 600 MPH can reach the nearest star to Earth, which is 4 light years away, in seven hours). However, the size of the engines mean it can only be mounted on ships, and Slip-space is filled with exotic radiation, meaning ships must be specially shielded to ensure the survival of the crew. Around this time, the EU, headed by Germany at the time, organized most of the world's nations into a single government after several decades of action with the UN.


[Faction Sheet]


Name:Republic of United Systems


Type of Government:Representative Democracy


Leader(s): President


Home Planet: Earth, Sol System


Morality: Lawful Neutral


History: Established in 2110 by Germany, the RUS has spread throughout Sol and multiple surrounding systems. It is a capitalistic system, with laws in place to prevent abuse by corporations. Laws are proposed by a house of elected representatives from the colonies, while a President commands the military and heads the government. A senate of 12 judges also goes over laws, ensuring the following the RUS constitution. The main points of the constitution include:


Freedom of religion, speech, and press


The right to bear arms to defend yourself


Rights to protect citizens from governmental abuse


Limits on mechanization of industry to make sure people can still be employed


Synthetic lifeforms that are proven to be fully sapient are considered human and have the full rights of any other citizen of the RUS


Alien lifeforms that are proven to be fully sapient are considered human and are eligible to be granted citizenship to the RUS


They have had many encounters with hostile "swarm races" (non-sapient races characterized by a hive-mind and an insane desire to expand) as they colonized the space around Sol. They have fought fungal, insectoid, and more exotic swarm races, leading to them having a relatively medium sized standing army.


Economy: Capitalistic. Paper currency known as Euros. Most space exploration and colonization efforts are privatized.


Organizations:


RUS high command; contains all the command elements of all branches of the RUS military.


RUS air-force;responsible for in-atmosphere aircraft.


RUS Infantry; contains infantry commanders


RUS Mechanized: commands mechanized vehicles


RUS Navy; Commands all spaceborne ships owned by the military.


RUS Central Government: Contains all civic and governmental institutions and positions.

Loading BOPI files


Burea of Paranormal investigation


Classified organization dedicated to the defense of the RUS from anomalous artifacts. When miners unearth an ancient alien artifact and suddenly start a death cult dedicated to some unknown diety and begin practicing blood magic, these are the guys who cover it up.


They have facilities throughout RUS space. The most "prominent" is Site 7, a secure holding facility on the planet REDACTED, in the REDACTED system. Site 7 stores multiple artifacts currently being studied by the BOPI.


The BOPI maintains a military branch known as the Mobile Task Force. They also maintain a small fleet, usually used for transporting MTF squads and raining down hellfire when a threat is unable to be contained.


Culture: There is a massive variety of cultures in the human race, because of natural geologic borders during humanity's early history. However, several main groups exist. There is a massive amount of mix between the groups, and even then there are massive mixtures in the groups themselves, so this is a rough outline.


European: Characterized by classic (modern day) architecture, a strong sense of innovation, and classic European values, Europeans are a ambitious people who love their ancestors culture. They mainly speak German or english, and follow Christianity.


Neo-Arabic: A strange blend of cutting edge technology and down to Earth values characerize the Arabic people. Arabic people are known for being extremely inventive and strive for modernization, in an attempt to bring back the Golden Age of the Muslim world. Many Arabic cities have skyscrapers next to humble stone Mosques, and traditional Muslim garb goes alongside vests and suits. Liberal Islam is commonly followed, but radicals still exist amongst fringe groups.


Asiatic: Asiatic culture is heavily influenced by ancient Chinese values (due to their prevalence in early human history), leading to many similarities in the region amongst eachother, such as a honor focused society and what is known as "Far East architecture". This has decreased in modern times, but it can still be found in a common respect for elders and a strong sense of pride intheir culture.


Slavic: Located mainly in central and northen Asia, Slavs are an...interesting group, with dozens of different languages and culture. However, they share a common majority of Russian Orthodox christianity, and a efficient style of building. However, they are quickly trying to make up for the damage the USSR did while it was in power.


African: Another mixture of the old and new, African culture has a very homely feel to it; known for their powers in trade, and many of the largest manufacturing corporations are based in Africa due to it's large open space, workforce, and resources.


Technology:


Power systems: Mainly fission and fusion for cities; use of fossil fuels mainly for land vehicles or generators for smaller installations, as well as renewable energy.


FTL: Slip-Stream; utilizes an alternate dimension where distance is greatly dilated in comparison to real space.


Space travel engines: Fusion drive for forward momentum. A deuterium fusion reactor ejects it's plasma out a series of rockets on the back of the ship, propelling it forward at high speeds. Fine maneuvering is accomplished by small rockets firing out compressed air along the ship, and all ships have emergency shaped charges for quickly dodging attacks or getting some extra thrust.


Medical: Shadowrun level genetic and mechanical augmentation, anti-aging treatments, reliable cancer treatment.


Space to surface: Vast majority of space borne ships cannot make planetfall without being trapped. Most movement of cargo is performed by orbital elevators. The only ships that can make planetfall and take off again are large, specialized transports, usually used for military landing operations or for civilian shipping. Smaller shuttles for transporting people are ineffecient for usage as military transports due to their large profile and slow speed.


Industrial: Mostly modern technology for production. Most raw materials are collected from asteroids or large scale ground mining operations.


Corporations


Mars Tech


CEO: Torgue Johnson, 70 years old. Born 2020, March 7th http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/borderlands/images/6/65/Torgue_Intro_1.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20121121054124


Assests: Mines and factories on Mars, Africa, and other planets


History: Established in 2043 by Torgue Johnson, Mars tech was the foremost provider of mining equipment and a major investor in the mining industry for the first colonies in Sol. However, this changed in 2050, August 3rd, on the day the first slip space engine was succesfully tested. The activation of the engine caused one of the main mining complexes Mars Tech owned on Deimos, one of the moons of mars, to go silent. Unfortunately, Torgue was touring the facility on that day to inspect word of ruins found on the planet. 2 days later, when a recovery team was sent, it was discovered that they had done the impossible; they had unlocked the gates to Hell itself. The facility was overrun by gibbering horrors; however, what they didn't expect was that one man would drive them back. Torgue was determined to not let these Demon motherfuckers take over the facility; he organized the few survivors left to barricade themselves into the repair bay, using mining equipment and mining hardsuits to hold off the demons. Meanwhile, Torgue grabbed a chainsaw, a sawn off shotgun, an automatic rifle, and a set of security armor, and delved into the depths of the facility. He fought his way through hordes of demons, before going into hell itself. He managed to destroy the artifact keeping the gate open, barely escaping Hell before it was locked forever. (Still iamge taken from camera near digsite: http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/square_small/12/120457/2136167-3.jpeg) With the portal closed, the remaining survivors decided that it was now their duty to create the biggest, baddest weapons to fight any further threats to humanity. Today, Torgue is now a hardass that personally advertises for Mars Tech's products, and they produce some of the most badass weaponry available.


ARMA Corp


CEO: John Kondrad, Age unknown, Birth Date unknown http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/specops/images/a/a9/Konrad.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120713123726


Assests: Arms manufacturing plants across universe


History: Established in 2031 by it's founder Richard Harrison, ARMA Corp was a major weaponry producer on Earth. However, in 2053, a man named John Konrad managed to outmanuever other share holders and acquire the trust of the board, gaining a majority in the company's stocks and being assigned CEO of ARMA corp. It is unknown where he comes from, and any of his background; he showed up one day in the former United States with a large sum of money and an entire mercenary outfit that he identified as "The Damned 33rd". He immediatly set out to expand ARMA corp, outsourcing to foreign vehicle manufacturers and absorbing DHB Industries' Point Blank Body Armor. This allowed them to become one of the largest arms manufacturers in the RUS, with multiple government contracts.


(Prepare for wall of text)


General tactics: RUS tactics rely on heavy amounts of support and electronic warfare. Command structures are high priority targets, and electronic warfare forces will incessantly attack enemy communications and guidance systems. Combat wise, infantry rely on Fire and Manuever tactics, using heavy volumes of fire to suppress enemies, while another group advances on the enemy. Once there, the advancing squad will either flank the enemy to cut them down from an angle where they aren't protected by cover, use grenades to kill them, or in rare cases, advance into melee combat. Artillery, air support, and orbital bombardment are also heavily used during Fire and Maneuver, replacing the advancing squad; a squad suppresses the target, before requesting a strike on the target's position. Trapped by the supressive fire, they will hopefully be destroyed by the attack.


Armored vehicles are ALWAYS supported by infantry riding in APC's to help screen for infantry and prevent flanking, along with IFV's. However, these tactics require large amounts of supplies to support, and a massive support unit. A regular army group requires many mechanics, drivers, and other such personnel to keep the army supplied.


Infantry


Equipment


AV-73


Frontier


An...unorthodox melee weapon, the AV-73 can best be described as a chainsaw with a sword handle. For safety reasons, one edge of the blade (the one facing the wielder) has a cover built in. Usually used in close quarters jungle combat by the especially insane.


Tru-Steel Machete


Frontier


Military Grade Machete made with a tungesten-steel alloy, making it hard and still letting it have a thin blade. Can be used to cut (studs on back of blade), chop, or carve. Standard equipment for jungle operations. Very good at killing eldritch abominations or parasitic aliens.


Parachute


ARMA corp


Literally just a parachute. Used by paratroopers, or orbital troopers (they parachute from orbital landers. Yes, they are that insane.)


Tactical flash-light


ARMA corp


Steel frame heavy duty flashlight designed to be used in any environment. Watertight, vaccum resistant, and comes with a spike for insertion into the ground. Standard issue.


M3-Combat knife


Frontier


Tempered steel combat knife. Standard issue. Can also function as a bayonet.


MT-37


http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/avp/images/5/59/Alien-motion-tracker.png/revision/latest?cb=20120217202431


Dyson Tech


With a range of 40 meters, the MT-37 is a valuable tool in close quarters or urban combat. It is capable of detecting motion; however, this can be a detriment when in industrial areas, due to machinery.


http://www.darkknightarmoury.com/images/Product/large/MCI-2878.png


ARC-Riot Shield


ARMA corp


A heavy riot shield used in CQC and riot control. Capable of stopping 15 7.62x39mm rounds.


M5-Laser Designator


ARMA corp


Laser designator used to call in guided munitions. Rugged and waterproof. Has minor EMP hardening.


M80-Anti personnel mine


Mars tech


Area of denial device. Buried underground and activated; when the sensors on top indicate movement, it launches four charges through the ground and into the air, where they will detonate, sending lethal shrapnel flying in a 180 arc around it. Range of detonation is variable, allowing you to detonate it at knee, stomach, head, or any other level up to 10 feet. Can be fitted with incendiary and white phosporous explosives.


Also comes in an anti-tank variety, where the 4 launch tubes are replaced with one large launch tube that shoots a heavy AT charge directly upwards into the bottom of a passing vehicle. Has anti-tamper systems that causes the device to detonate if not properly disarmed.


Weaponry and Armor


RUS weaponry is designed to be reliable and highly modifiable. They purely use kinetic weaponry; while lasers have better penetrative power, the fact that the beam doesn't tumble or expand while it goes through the body means that it doesn't deal as much actual damage as a bullet. Overheating issues and limited range due to energy dispersion have also blocked their attempts to make reliable laser weaponry.

RM-45 Standard Issue Combat Vest *KNEE PADS AND ELBOW GUARDS NOT SHOWN IN PICTURE*


ARMA corp.


Including a helmet with an integrated Heads up display, the standard issue armor of the RUS infantry corps is an all around good suit of armor. The chest armor is a empty frame that can be inserted with a variety of armor plating; different sizes and strengths are used depending upon the situation. The common plate is a solid block of specialized ceramics that shatter on impact to spread the force of the bullet around, coated by a layer of steel. It can stop around 5 7.62x39 rounds at standard engagement range. It has enough space for around 12 magazines, several grenades, a bayonet, and a sidearm. It comes in multiple camouflage patterns, including digital, jungle, desert, and many more. The uniform underneath is made out of a high strength synthetic fabric that traps heat and is easy to wash. Comes in as many color variants as the armor itself.


Heavier versions with full limb protection are available.


Also comes with an optional hazmat variant; a enclosed hazmat suit with integrated air filter and air supply, made out of flak weave, and with metal reinforced boots. Chest plate and full limb armoring cover the suit.

Frontier


Harrier Jetpack


A light jetpack given to some soldiers in terrain that can require the use of a jetpack. It has enough fuel for 2 minutes of continuous flight, and can hold up a grown man in full combat gear.


Power Armor: The RUS fields several models of power armor. Power armor is controlled by the operator through a nueral interface that allows them to move the armor like it is an extension of their body, and use onboard systems without physical input.


A1 Model (http://orig09.deviantart.net/e149/f/2015/288/f/1/cod_ghost___juggernaut_for_xnalaraxps_by_kalash_1947-d9cdh8u.jpg): 7 feet tall. Produced by Mars Tech. Has a series of servo-motors that enhance the wearers strength, allowing them to flip a car and lift 15 times their body weight. Protection is offered by a series of extremely thick padded titanium-tungesten plates, with a heavy flak underweave. Hazmat variety comes completely self contained. Armor plating is capable of withstanding 300 rounds of 7.62, or 1 12.7 (.50) shells. Actual armored vehicles beat it in every way, and anything vaguely resembling an anti-armor weapon will easily defeat it. Can maintain a slow walking pace of 3 MPH, and a running pace of 7 MPH. Runs off of pre-charged energy cells, powering the armor for 24 hours of intensive activity. Comes with an inbuilt HUD that counts the amount of ammo in the integrated weapons, integrity of the suit, and environmental conditions.


B1 Model (http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/blacklighttangodown/images/b/b8/BLR_Hardsuit_White.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130313083807): 8 feet tall. Also produced by Mars Tech, the B1 model of power armor has improved defensive capabilities over the A1 model. It's armor can resist 500 rounds of 7.62x39mm or 3 12.7 rounds. It also has a nuclear fuel cell, allowing it to operate for several days without recharge. Like the A1 model, it has a HUD. It also allows the wearer to lift 30 times their body weight. However, it can only move at a slow pace of 3 MPH; it cannot sprint at all. To offset this, it has built in jump jets, allowing it to reach the upper stories of building or quickly jet across the ground. Has a built in motion tracker with a range of 40 meters.

V5 Hulk


ARMA Corp


This 4 tracked tank is designed to be able to conquer any terrain. The tracks give it unparalleled traction and suspension, allowing it to traverse even the rockiest terrain. It has 3 layers of armor: a 8 inch thick layer titanium-tungesten alloy, a 8 inch thick layer of ceramic plating designed to spread out the force of an impact to reduce penetration, and a second 8 inch thick layer of titanium-tungesten alloy. It is angled at strategic areas to increase the chance of richochet. The surface of the armor is also coated in bricks of high-explosive; when a projectile of sufficient mass and velocity strikes it, the brick detonates, sending out an explosive blast that either nuetralizes or negates some of the energy of the projectile. The armor is held at an angle, increasing the chance incoming projectiles will ricochet off. It is powered by a high grade diesel turbine, and can sustain a pace of 60 MPH on flat roads, and around 40 on rough terrain.


Crew:1 commander, 1 gunner, 1 pilot


Armanent: Pintle mounted Browning, 500 round box magazine


Coaxial RPK-25 pounder, autoloader containing 2000 rounds


Hull mounted RPK-25, autoloader with 2000 rounds


120 MM rifled cannon (Can fire HEAT, SABOT, canister, or HE). Can carry up to 80 shells in total, of any mix of shell types


Defensive systems:


Active defense system; a miniature "grenade launcher" on top of the tank is hooked up to a series of sensors around the tank. When it detects incoming projectiles, it fires a high speed grenade at the incoming projectile in an attempt to redirect or detonate it. It is ineffective against multiple targets coming from different directions, or kinetic perpetrators (SABOT shells). Connected to an internal supply of 25 grenades.


Smoke grenade launchers: Two three barreled grenade launchers on the front of the tank fire out smoke grenades. The smoke, besides hiding the vehicle from view, also fools IR sensors and smart missiles.


Badger IFV


Blackwater


A fast and light vehicle designed for anti-infantry work. During armored assaults, they ensure that the MBT's are protected from infantry attempting to flank them.

Dyson Corp


A combat android designed to augment human forces, the Imitantur is equipped with a self learning artifical intelligence that can eventually grow to a full human conciousness. Each unit is given a monthly turing test, and once it unanomiously passes it it is declared a full citizen of the RUS and allowed to choose it's own career; if it chooses to leave the military, it's conciousness is transfered into a demilitarized shell. The militarized Imitantur shell is a tungesten-steel composite frame, with hydraulics granting it the strength of 15 men. The AI core is located inside of it's chest, along with a rechargeable 48 hour battery. The 'chest' of the chassis can survive 2 7.62x39mm rounds at standard combat range, and they are generally equipped with standard issue armor to increase their survivability.

The Fury is one of the most insane in atmosphere vehicles devised by the engineers of the RUS. It bristles with guns, and has the same armor an APC would use. All the guns are remotely controlled from inside the ship. The engineers who designed it resolutely deny that they were watching James Cameron's Avatar the night before, and any similarities with a certain giant gunship are purely a coincidence. Furys serve to lead aerial assaults and as a floating area of denial device. As once said by a wise person on the classic forum of 4chan, "Basically, you park it in a place and forget about that place, because it is now Defened".
