Star Command: Fleet-on-Fleet inAction [OOC/DEAD]

by **The Empire of Pretantia** » Mon Mar 03, 2014 9:33 am

The year is 999 Post-Tsardom.
The age is war.
In the grimdark darkness of the far dark grim future there is only grimdark.
Neinneinneinneinneinneinneinneinneinneinneinneinneinneinneinneinnein!

A thousand years ago in the Y Galaxy, the Tsars of the Bangalore Empire ruled the Kreed Arm with an iron fist. Today, they are completely irrelevant to our story and only serve as a backdrop because conservation of detail can suck it. What, we're actually uncovering an ancient conspiracy relating to the return of the Bangalore Empire and how the entire galaxy is screwed or something? This isn't the story of Space-Rome's return; this is the story of the Space-Allies fighting Space-Bug-Hitlerhito.

In the farthest reaches of the Kreed Arm where only the most foolish venture, there live the kingdoms of the Arakan. An ancient race ruled by immaterial hive minds, their lords have long held their territory since before the Tsars under the might of their Hive-Emperor. By virtue of strength, guile and cunning he has guided his people since time immemorial, carving an empire among the stars and scouring the universe for scouring's sake. ~~Then he helped Space-America fight Space-Britain and the Proletariat rebelled~~No, then he became Space-Genghis Khan and invaded the rest of the Kreed Arm in the year 916 PT.

The races of the Kreed Arm united in a grand coalition to fuck me you know the rest of the goddamn story: ~~the Arakan get their asses handed to them and are driven to extinction~~ Nope! What is this, Starship Troopers? Armor? Aliens? Fuck no, the the Coalition makes them pay huge reparations, because they're civilized unlike those savages in other stories, with tea and all that jazz. But you know what? An RP about post-war economy in an interstellar society would be boring, so I'm gonna have those Arakan fellows come right the fuck back and start taking names again, because THIS INTRO IS ABSOLUTELY POINTLESS!

TL;DR:
A deconstruction of doom armies and hive mind species via hot fleet-on-fleet action.

Welcome to Star Command: Fleet-on-Fleet inAction, where a commodore is you. As a playa (Oh God, it's not autocorrecting that) you take charge of a single flotilla within the raider armada being scraped together. With our powers combined we shall be the scourge of the Arakan, hitting the enemy where we want and making them feel exceedingly uncomfortable via vigorous violation of their infrastructure. We shall embark on great adventures and win the war through the most cowardly tactics we can think of. And yes, I said raider, cowardly tactics, and violent disruption of infrastructure. We're fucking exterminator-pirates.

The war has begun, but it is not in full swing just yet. We've had a lot of heads-up about the Arakan's war preparation, or at least more than the Arakan would like. In an effort to end the war before it begins, the Koalition had assembled a fleet of raiders as quickly as they could to destroy the enemy war effort. However, in their haste to assemble a fleet the Koalition could not assemble a full roster of capitol ships such as dreadnoughts, leaving the fleet slightly weaker against larger vessels; fortunately, disarmament treaties imposed upon the Arakan would have kept their capitol production to a minimum…

Simple, right? After all this is a pretty tiny OP. Well guess what: you're not done! Buckle up, kids: you'll be reading for an extended period of time.

THE KREED ARM

We are here. The Kreed Arm is a small arm of the Y Galaxy, about ten thousand lightyears long and three thousand wide, sandwiched between the Vau and Wagner Arms. It stinks. Moving on to interesting stuff.

PSYCHICS

Within the galaxy there are strange forces. Weird forces. Supernatural forces. The kind of forces that shouldn't be but are anyway. Then there are the individuals who harness these forces themselves. Psychics are found all across the Kreed Arm, professing in positions from therapist to scientist to showman to politician to prostitute(Because telekinesis don't pay the bills). However, that's not to say all psychics are the same; many psychic have only one ability, while others have a multitude of powers. These are simply some of the abilities known to civilization.

Receptive Telepaths are, at first glance, simply normal members of their race. However, receptive telepaths are able to sense the powers and even presence of other psychics, and can even read the minds of transmissive telepaths.
Transmissive Telepaths are the opposite. Instead of sensing, they are able to transmit psychic signals to others, a gift they may use to secretly send messages to anyone or place images in people's heads for whatever twisted reason they may have.
Receptive-Transmissive Telepaths are simply telepaths who are both receptive and transmissive. At since they both send and receive, some trained telepaths are able to use a sort of "psycho-sonar" to read anyone's mind.
Psychokinetics possess the power to manipulate the environment with their powers.
Omnipaths are psychics who possess multiple abilities. Receptive-transmissive telepaths are simply a specific omnipath.

BRIGADE ALPHA BLUE: THE BEEKEEPERS

After the first Arakan invasion an elite watchdog force was assembled assure the Arakan would never again have the military strength to threaten the Kreed Arm: Brigade Alpha Blue, or Beekeepers as they're sometimes known. Composed of the greatest soldiers and sailors known to civilization, it is the mission of the Beekeepers to monitor Arakan projects and prevent military endeavors, to sabotage such programs should they fail that, and to warn the Kreed Arm regardless of success or failure of that.

The dumbasses only succeeded in the last one. Not very good for their reputation, is it?

THE ARMADA

When nations do war, they don't win by building the biggest ships; they win by building the ships they need. Within a navy there is a smorgasbord of ship classes, from corvette to carrier, each serving a different role and filling a different niche. Even the humble frigate can be more useful than a dreadnought in the right situation. Therefore, it is imperative to maintain versatility, ever more so in a raiding fleet.

MEN-O-WAR
Corvettes (Classification FC) are one of the smallest classifications, referring to ships between 30 and 60 meters meant for border control and police actions, only rarely used as a true warship in a scout flotilla.
Frigates (FF) are small ships designed for running patrols and raid enemies. Usually 50-160 meters long, frigates use extreme maneuverability as their main defense.
Bombing Frigates (FB) are simply frigates outfitted with a larger payload of bombs or torpedoes for actions against enemy ships or fortifications. They typically participate in bombing flotillas alongside small carriers.
Destroyers (FD) are dedicated ship hunters. Boasting a greater selection of weaponry than frigates, destroyers are often used in pitched battles as screens alongside cruisers.

Cruisers (CC) are the workhorse of any decent navy, balancing of speed, protection, and firepower. 200-500 meters in length (Depending largely on what role a nation wishes for their cruisers to serve in), cruisers fight alongside larger craft as fighter screens and force multipliers, holding off fighter craft while also providing a complement to firepower. Cruisers are unable to enter atmosphere due to their size.
Battlecruisers (CB) are dedicated warships boasting greater armor and longer-ranged ordnance than standard cruisers.
Light Cruisers (CL) are on the opposite side of the cruiser spectrum from battlecruisers, instead sacrificing defense for speed. Never over 300 meters long, light cruisers are typically used as the flagships of scout flotillas, and also occasionally carry a strike craft complement.
Monitors (CM) are cruiser-sized, heavily armed siege ships for planetary bombardment. Possessing a great volume of ordnance- usually in the form of kinetic impactors- monitors typically lack the same level of point defense capability and shields as cruisers, and so require an escort at all times.

Carriers (CV) typically lack any offensive weaponry of their own, instead transporting a large complement of fighters capable of swarming the enemy. A carrier's size fluctuates wildly depending on what role its mother nation believes it is supposed to fulfill, ranging from frigate-sized convoy escorts and scout flotilla elements to mighty fleet centerpieces on par with dreadnoughts. Craft complements, however, are a simpler matter; it is generally safe to assume a carrier holds thirty craft per hundred meters as a rule of thumb.
Battlecarriers (BV) are simply carriers that can hold their own in a battle. Battlecarriers are armed with an assortment of offensive weapons that allow them to serve directly on the front and possess greater armor and shield, but as a trade-off for larger armaments and power plants they carry a smaller complement, typically only ten craft per hundred meters.
Dreadnoughts (BD) are some of the largest ships in the Kreed Arm, between 600 and 1600 meters in length. A dreadnought possesses greater offensive and defensive capabilities than any other ship, but their size and technology make them intensive investments. As such, dreadnoughts are typically a sign of a nation's wealth, and are sometimes even flaunted around lesser races.

STRIKE CRAFT
Fighters are the basic craft of a fleet, designed for interception of small enemy craft.
Bombers are larger strike craft designed to attack and destroy enemy capitol ships using short-range torpedoes, or to bombard planetary positions with bombs. Bombers are typically four times larger than fighters to accommodate their payload.
Shuttles are simply transports for men and materiel.
Assault suits are large power armor used primarily for boarding, and occasionally as dedicated interceptors by some nations.

AUXILIARIES
Troop Barges (PV) are basic transports for ground forces, approximately 100-1000 meters in length. A troop barge carries about 500 infantry per 100 meters, and holds a complement of shuttles to ferry marines and equipment to and from a planet.
Dropships (PL) are large transports 50-300 meters in length capable of landing on a planet's surface and deploying its complement directly onto the ground. A dropship occasionally possesses a variety of planetary weapons to provide further support on the ground.
Factory Ships (XX) are mobile plants 300-800 meters long capable of producing whatever a fleet may need. A single ship typically possesses the facilities and staff to produce small craft, parts, weapons, and other small items; but only if its assembly lines are already designed to produce it.
Tenders (XT) are essentially dockyards that move with the fleet. Large enough to accommodate what needed, tenders conduct repairs and refits on other ships when necessary.
Colliers (XK) are the tankers and cargo ships of a fleet. Colliers transport all the extra supplies a fleet may need.
Minesweepers/Layers (XM) do exactly as advertised, deploying and disposing of nuclear mines.
Naval Construction Ships (SEB) are essentially specialized factory ships for constructing bases. As there's not much a ship can do from space, Naval Construction Ships carry a naval construction battalion to assemble prefabricated parts on the ground.
Hospital Ships (XH) are exactly that; ships anywhere from 100-500 meters long with medical facilities.

THE ARAKAN

Ladies and gentlemen, the Arakan, AKA the bugs, AKA the ants, AKA the bees, AKA the Royal bastards. The Arakan are a race, of hive-mind insectoids from the planet Shaloxi in the Merdath System Waaaaaay in the Western Tendril of the Kreed Arm. Individually feral and ineffectually, the strength of the Arakan is derived from the psychic entities that rule their race. Although their physiology varies greatly from caste to species, all Arakan share a common basic anatomy. They have a segmented scorpion-like body, ending with pincers on the tail. They all have six limbs, four of which may be used as both arms and legs. Unlike most arthropods, the Arakan have mammalian eyes as opposed to compound.

The Arakan are divided into hives, each ruled by a single Hive-Mind. Hive-Minds are sentient psychic entities that provide all higher cognitive functions for their hive. Ultimately, all Hive-Minds are ruled by the Hive-Emperor, a massive Hive-Mind whose hive encompasses the entire Merdath System, by far the largest territory of any hive in the Kreed Arm. It is by the Hive-Emperor's blessing that the Hive-Minds govern extrastellar holdings, with a Hive-Mind permitted to govern anything from a single moon to an entire continent. Very rarely is a Hive-Mind permitted to lord an entire planet, and never in the history of the Arakan has the Emperor gifted an entire system.

Each Arakan hive is its own city, responsible for maintaining its own population, upkeep, and infrastructure. To complete its various tasks, hives consist of many castes that fulfill different roles within the hive.

The bulk of a hive consists of workers, simple peons that perform menial labor. The average hive's worker is a four-foot creature with two shovel-like front arms for digging and two grasping middle arms for manipulation.
As Hive-Minds lack corporeal bodies, they need a dedicated caste for communication. Liaisons are receptive-transmissive telepaths used for inter-hive and interracial communications.
A dedicated breeding class, the breeder, is used for reproduction. Fertilized by sires from other hives or even species, breeders are the irreplaceable core of a hive, although some species' workers are capable of laying a single egg. If you have read this far then do not use "Male" or "female" in the gender section. Use "Spear" and "Distaff" respectively.
Soldiers are seven-foot giants born solely to fight. Essentially an armor-clad worker with blades instead of shovels, soldiers form the backbone of ground forces.

The Arakan are not a single species; rather, they are an entire family of species collectively referred as a single race for all intents and purposes. Each of the one hundred-fifty-three species of the Arakan Family are ruled by a multitude of Hive-Minds, given different roles within the empire as anything from foot soldier to shipbuilder.

The Hive-Emperor's own species (and the only species with only one Hive-Mind) is the Shaloximan. A Shaloximan soldier is of a different calibre from most hives, towering at ten feet and having blade arms proportionally three times larger than its counterparts.
The most common species is the Raraman, with over half of all Arakan coming from this species.
As a species that evolved solely for war, the Olamar have a disproportionally large amount of soldiers in their hives. In addition, there are four soldier castes not found in other species in the Olamar species.
The Waloman are the predominant sailors. The elongated bodies and smaller stature of their workers makes them perfect for crewing ships.
Though the Ikamar evolved to hunt other Arakan, the unification has mercifully spared them retribution. Their bodies are so elongated that they need to stand on four limbs, and their soldiers' tails end in powerful pincers. As opposed to slashing blades, their front arms are pointed stabbing implements.
Meramar soldiers are stout, upright, and heavily armored compared to other species. Meramar form the bulk of a planet's defense forces alongside Olamar present.

Contrary to popular belief, Arakan do not "grow" their ships. Besides the impracticality of such a process, the Arakan have only been a spacefaring race for one-thousand years, and so would not have evolved to the point where they can grow their ships. No, they build their everything, just like other races. The Arakan even have a full industrial infrastructure like other races, only they don't have a demand for luxuries and so have very spartan aesthetics to their structures.

RULES
1.) The usual.
2.) Yes, you can be Arakan if I say you can be. Just make a nation app and say you're an independent faction or something. You have to find your own damn ships though.
3.) No, you cannot be a race from a preexisting canon, like Protoss or Elites or Eldar.
4.) ~~Just because psychics exist doesn't mean you can all be one.~~ Actually, scratch that. Everyone can be a psychic.
4a.) Psychic powers are not divinity. You cannot use telekinesis to destroy enemy vessels. You cannot communicate across lightyears.
5.) Existence is not divinity.
6.) If you think one line is a post, then I'll start asking you to writing a fence.
6a.) If you think two posts are a fence, then you obviously don't know how to keep your cows in the corral.
7.) Good grammar is a skill, not a choice.
8.) "Kilometer" is not a reasonable unit of measure for starship design. No five-mile monsters.
9.) If given permission, you can play as a fleet from another player's race or nation. I know you can play as a fleet from my race if you want(Highly unlikely).
9a.) If you're not given permission and you don't want to be big ugly ogres, then you have to fill out the nation/race app.
9b.) If given super-duper special permission, you may make a nation app for another player's race app.
10.) Read the entire OP before making an app. And yes, I will know whether or not you did. You'll miss this part, for one.

by **The Tarantara Dominion** » Mon Mar 03, 2014 10:07 am

Race/Nation Name: The Tarantaran Dominion
Homeworld: The Trinity System (Not a Star System)
Species name: Tarantarans
Life span: Thirty thousand, eight hundred, ninety one years [Normal] (Extended through medical technology from about one hundred eighty years) [They are capable of living several milennia and appearing to be in their mid thirties]
Description: The Tarantarans possess the physique of the species known to them as Homo Sapiens, a species thought to have, at some point, travelled to their planet, degenerated, become a predatory species and then evolved into the extremely superior Tarantaran people. They lost sentience and regained it, showing a "knack" in the human genome for intelligence, something that also pointed to the fact that Homo Sapiens or, more likely, human species of some kind existed longer than previously thought. Of course, they are far, far more intelligent, though their bodies are usually smaller than six foot, as is their strength, as their "ancestors" were predators who relied on toxins, poisons and a higher amount of intelligence than their prey.
Natural Defenses/Abilities:
Immune System (Developed due to technology) They possess a high immunity to toxins of all kinds, as well as viruses, bacteria, fungus and are effectively incapable of being affected by things like this, unless it is in a particularly hostile environment, they are deprived of food, or water, in which case their immune system reverts to the level of a human
Apex Predators Having evolved from a group of particularly predatory species, some of which have descendents that roam the Earth, non-sentient ones, of course, or at least it is believed so, they had one mutation in a life sustaining protein and turned into one of the most lethal poisons/acids in the galaxy, it is capable of affecting even robotic/cybernetic life forms by "frying" circutry, technorganic body parts and just outright melting through them. They possess heightened senses, unusual amounts of strength, high amounts of speed and a high adaptability, they are a species capable of dwelling in high gravity or, individually, developing mutations that allow for them to dwell in areas that become progressively hotter, or colder, enabling a completely different sub-species to form. It is theorized that this ability gave life to a now extinct life form that dwelled within aquatic areas, though, of course, this can't all happen at once. That is to say, if they get shot they will develop a resistance to the weapon that fired at them and each time they get shot the resistance will build up to the point that it is only a small annoyance to them (Note, this wouldn't work if you aimed to kill).
Telepathy, Empathy Developed due to the necessity to gain more insight to their prey, it is obvious that the Tarantarans lost sentience and then quickly regained it, their intelligence growing through dozens of species' evolutions[meaning most species had sentiencer, it is not thought any living "relatives' are sentient, though]. Though usually left untrained, their telepathic and empathic abilities can be trained and become extremely potent, there have even been the odd case of unusual mutations where beings literally feed and gain nutrients from the empathic thoughts of others, though all beings who were affected by this have been eliminated for safety concerns their brains and bodies have been preserved.
Telekinesis (Technologically Induced) Induced through technology as a development of other psionic abilities, some high ranking military officials, scientists, members of a project, the Queen, members of the royal family[who have permanently developed telekinesis, for some odd reason] or special forces members possess telekinesis in varying degrees.
Genetic Engineering & Cybernetic Modification Many members of the species possess some type of modification that enhances their capabilities, whether this be on the light side of allowing them to see infrared with a mere thought or the extreme side of a scorpion-like tail that, instead of ejecting venom from their fangs, ejected it through said tail that could also crush bone honestly depends on the individual the funds or if they are part of any project.
Culture:

The Tarantarans are an extremely interesting peoples who are highly traditional and intent on respecting members of their own species, though they are wary of other races at this point and even though they will respect them they see them as their inferiors. They are wary because, in ancient times, during expansion they were slaughtered by an extremely advanced, now extinct race of aliens that had essentially dwindled their population from the hundreds, and possibly thousands, of billions to a few hundred billion. After this incident, they completely disappeared from the galactic scene, their advanced stealth and conversion technology allowing their derelict probes, ships, vessels and other technologies to be hidden, as if they were part of the natural environment, even to this date, as they have been rendered undetectable by all but Tarantaran technology. So they are making their way back towards the galaxy, hoping not to run into any issues, though said issues will promptly be taken care of if necessary.

-Navy-
Name: The Tarantara Armada
Characteristics:
Strengths
Extremely advanced
High amount of fire power
Extremely well trained
Capable of taking on armadas/fleets that are far larger than itself due to advanced technology
Weaknesses
Relatively small in size
Most ships used will be outdated, though still useful, aside from the newer fleets
Not good with diplomacy, they just re-entered the Galactic scene
No allies, trade relations, diplomacy, etcetera
Most outdated ships are easier to take out, due to the fact they haven't been "rennovated"
Nigh-xenophobic
Ignorant of current galactic events, and even past events, as well as most species
Frigates: Describe frigates, destroyers, corvettes, and bombing frigates used by your navy, and by extension your fleet.
Corvettes are 60 to 240 meters long and are the fastest ships aside from fighters, bombers and shuttles
Frigates are 100 to 320 meters long and fulfill a wide variety of roles, just like cruisers
Destroyers are 100 to 320 meters long and like the frigates fulfill a wide variety of roles, though they are limited to war-based roles
Specifics can be found in fact book, which is WIP
Cruisers: cruisers, light cruisers, and battlecruisers
Cruisers are 280 to 600 meters long and fulfill a wide variety of roles
Light cruisers are usually half the size of cruisers and don't go over 320 meters
Battlecruisers are around the size of a cruiser, up to 800 meters
Monitors can be the size of a cruiser, light cruiser or battlecruiser
Specifics can be found in fact book, which is WIP
Capitol Ships: dreadnoughts, carriers (Regardless of size), and battlecarriers
Carriers come in all sizes and some are as large as Dreadnoughts
The so called Battlecarriers and Supercarriers, which may be a merger of a carrier and a dreadnought, are usually larger than a dreadnought itself and range from 3,000 meters to, the largest, 3,750 meters long
Dreadnoughts come in several classes and range from 800 to 2,250 meters long, with the largest being 3,000 meters long[though there are fewer and fewer as the size goes up]
Specifics can be found in fact book, which is WIP
Strike Craft: fighters, bombers, and shuttles
Fighters, bombers and shuttles come in a wide variety of different sizes though they are always somewhere between 0.5 and 12 meters long
Specifics can be found in fact book, which is WIP
Auxiliaries: anything under auxiliary
Auxiliary craft come in all shapes and sizes and usually fulfill multiple roles such as transports that can transport supplies for the military, precious commodities, food for a colony or military personnel themselves, support roles or are the most outdated ships in the Armada
Specifics can be found in fact book, which is WIP

Ah, I'll forgive you for that Pretantia.

Do we need to use all types of craft as set out under the Armada section? Because my type of Fighter combines the effects of the Fighter and Bomber as you've described them.

Pret, they are an advanced society and even more so in medical technology... unfortunately their fleet sizes are relatively small and easier to defeat but they can still hold their own against larger fleets due to their advanced technology, even more unfortunate is the fact that most of their navy is made up of outdated ships xD

But I will remove the long life span if necessary, but it's a theocratic monarchy for a reason.
