Sciox Military Forces (Army Factbook, Closed)

[Sciox]

The many peoples of Sciox have always had a strong martial tradition and the armed forces have been the guardian of the Republic since it's earliest days, when the military rose up against King Demetrius IV when he ordered the Supreme Commanders to use large scale bombing and tank offensives on his rioting subjects, beginning the Sciox civil war.

Today the military plays an important role in the halls of government, with the Military holding much more power compared to other nations, the Commanders even posses the power to withhold certain information from the civilian government under the constitutions. The main reason for this is that all Scios see the military as the guardians of the nation and new recruits are taught that from the moment they put on a uniform that they have been given a sacred trust, not by some deity or a peace of paper but by their fellow citizens and to betray that trust is the gravest sin a man can commit. Soldiers dishonorably discharged, even for minor offences from the reserve forces, quickly become pariahs, they'll be lucky to find a job and dishonorably discharged soldiers make up a small but significant percentage of the national suicide rate.

Military influences, descended from the decade of rule by the Supreme Commanders following the Civil War, can be seen in all walks of life today. Many foreigners have commented on the often brutal efficiency of the National Police Service, which is based upon the counter-smuggling operations units of the Ranger Corps, the fortress like appearances of many government buildings throughout Sciox and the easily defensible nature of the post-war cities and ports.

The Military Constitution
1-The unified armed forces will be lead by a council, made up of the Supreme Commander of each branch of the armed forces.

2-In times of war, as decided by the President of the Republic, leadership of the nation shall pass to the High Military Council, if the President is unwilling to transfer power, then the Gathering Of Representatives may vote on an immediate transfer of power, not subject to Presidential approval.

3-The Military Council shall draw it's members from the Supreme Commanders of the Marine Forces, Air Forces, Naval Forces, the Intelligence Service and Space Dominance Command (As of November 4th 2017 Amendment).

4-During times of peace, the Military Council shall recognize the President of the Republic as their supreme authority and obey directives as issued by him/her. However upon a unanimous vote by the Military Council, a legal directive may be ignored.

5-The task of the Sciox Armed Forces is to protect and defend the people from all threats both foreign and domestic.

6-With a unanimous vote by the Military Council, the armed forces shall be authorized to deploy troops throughout the homeland to enforce marshal law and remove civilian members of government from office, during this period the nation shall be treated as if it is in a state of war.

7-In the event that Condition-6 is enacted the Military Council shall be required by law to prepare for and initiate elections of civilians to the positions of President of the Republic, Vice President of the Republic and all empty Representative positions.

Infantry Equipment

One of the most common pieces of equipment in the Sciox Armed Forces, the IPA-3 is a single piece body suit that is used is all services with color being the only difference. The suit is designed to keep the wearer at a comfortable temperature and not be too uncomfortable in heat or cold. The suit is able to interface with standard infantry survival gear, so waste can automatically collected and the wearer can be sealed away from biological or chemical agents.

The IPA-4 Armour System is a series of armored suits that use interchangeable parts to allow soldiers to modify their armor based on their current mission and personal preferences. All carry the standard computer and electronic systems to allow a Sciox soldier to patch into his regional COMNET and fit over standard issue IPA-3 fatigues, allowing soldiers to remain comfortable in extreme temperatures and able to quickly seal themselves against biological agents or radiation.


The standard heavy, medium and light armor configurations, most surveyed Sciox marines say they prefer to use the heavy chest plate, medium arms and shoulders and light helmet.

COMNET, short for Combat Network, is a heavily decentralized web of personal bio-sensor feeds, vehicle and infantry positions and supply records woven through a global array of dozens of ground stations, orbital satellites and soldiers and vehicles. COMNET allows a commanders to keep track of their troops and their status in almost real time and soldiers to quickly call in support, by patching directly to a squadron leader or by taking direct control of an artillery battery with the consent of the battery commander withing seconds.

Overview
The LUV-80 is a modern 4WD utility vehicle built in a contract for the Holy Empire of Fogumata (Now an ex-nation) to replace their fleet of HMMWVs. According to the contract the Fogumatan army wanted a vehicle that was a general improvement over the HMMWV but in particular they wanted an increased mine resistance and greater mobility in tough terrain. The LUV-80 features a greater ground clearance, better all around armour and its V shaped hull and wide variety of armaments make it an excellent choice of light vehicle for a 21st century military.

On the modern battlefield, logistics, maintenance and their entailing cost can quickly bring an end to an army’s advance, no matter how successful or far reaching. For as Napoleon Bonaparte once said “An army marches on its stomach”.

So when we at Scion Defence were asked to build a series of light vehicles for a series of nation’s militaries our immediate thoughts were “Not several vehicles with one job each, but one vehicle capable of doing multiple jobs”. The result of this line of thought was the M2100 MFCV (Multiple Function Vehicle Chassis), a vehicle chassis that is easily modified to do any task required of it, wether it be anything from infantry transport to artillery support.

For a price, depending on what purposes you wish it for, Scion Defence is willing to create custom designs based on the M2100 chassis.

Overview
The M2101 is the first vehicle in the M2100 series. It is designed to act as a troop carrier, infantry support vehicle and to support armoured vehicles. It is of particular value in urban combat zones where its advanced 360 degree automated detection system can be set to engage any non-friendly targets it identifies, however normally the gun and missile system is controlled by the vehicle’s gunner. Its impressive firepower, speed and survivability make it a choice vehicle for those nations which wish to acquire a fearsome fighting vehicle but do not wish to spend the large amount of money that a modern MBT requires.

Overview
The M2102 is a fearsome mortar system. With its high fire rate and ability to carry laser and GPS guided rounds it takes the firepower of an entire battery and puts it in the hull of one vehicle. An enemy that is unlucky enough to come up against a battery of six 02s can face a barrage of up to 108 (18 rounds from each vehicle) 105mm mortar rounds landing on his position all at once, thanks to the SUMB’s MRSI capability.

Overview
Modern airborne forces must travel light and that means forgoing the firepower that comes with heavy vehicles such as tanks, most efforts to rectify this problem over the years have normally resulted in vehicles that their crews have described as death traps. Now Scion Defence is proud to present our solution. The M2103 Light Armoured Gun is a tank in everything but name. Its armour is thicker then that of the other M21 vehicles but it is still light and its capacity to take a beating can be further in increased by adding ERA (Explosive reactive armour) plates and the Gladiator anti-missile system. It has also proved its worth when combined with tilt rotor aircraft, allowing companies of vehicles to be delivered direct to the battle zone along with the battalions of airborne infantry they support .

Overview
The M2104 is in many ways an up gunned M2102. The vehicles share many of the same characteristics and capabilities but the M2104 can put more fire onto a target at a greater range. Combine that with the vehicle’s quiet speed and you have an artillery gun very well suited to shoot and scoot tactics. Its potent counter battery power has also been demonstrated in field tests. In one field test a battery of eight M2104s were able to sneak into a firing position only 12km from an insurgent camp. Each vehicle fired off eight cluster munitions rounds; each round contained 24 sub munitions using MRSI resulting in a devastating impact of 1,536 grenade sized sub munitions landing in an 800m square area, all at the same time. As a member of the observation team put it, “Someone ordered the shredded meat with extra overkill”.

M2120A4 MBT



When the first M2120 MBT rolled off the assembly line in 2001 it was considered a top of the line fighting vehicle however it still had several shortcomings that became all to apparent during it's first combat uses. In 2003 the M2120A1 was introduced to rectify some of these shortcomings, updating the electronics systems and crew survivability, however it was considered a stop gap measure. The major improvement to the M2120 came in 2005 with the A2, which turned the M2120 into a far superior fighting machine compared to the tank that bore it, but again the Sciox High Military Council considered it a stepping stone to the next generation the A3. The A4 built on the foundation of the A3 to create an even better armoured vehicle. Due to their previous experience with the M2120 series Scion Defence was given the contract and the first prototype began trials in late 2011.

Completely redesigning major portions of the tank and installing entirely new, top of the line weapons the A4 is the finest weapon ever produced by Scion Defence.

Unit Price-11 million for complete vehicle, 1.4-5 million to upgrade from previous versions of the M2120

Armament
The A4's main armament is the devastating TG-9 140mm smooth bore mounted on an unmanned turret, retained from the A3. While in many ways no different to other 140mm guns the TG-9's principle advantage comes form it's autoloader and caseless rounds which give the tank a punishing rate of fire. Based on the feeding system of the ICR-8 assault rifle the TG-9, stores it's round's on a rotating rack below and beside the main gun. When loading a round the chamber swivels horizontal to the gun and a round is fed into it. The chamber then swivels back into alignment with the gun and when the gunner pulls the trigger the round is fired. To select the next round to load the gunner merely uses a small touch screen in his control area to select the round and the ammunition rack rotates the appropriate round into the loading position and will keep feeding rounds of that type until the gunner changes the selection.


Step 1, a round has just been loaded


Step 2, the chamber rotates 90* to receive the next round (coloured red)


Step 3, the round is fed into the chamber


Step 4, the chamber rotates back into alignment with the chamber


Step 5, the round is fired


The process repeats

The A4's secondary armament is made up of a co-axial 20mm cannon (400 rounds carried) and two remote controlled turrets, each consisting of a 20mm rotary cannon and two IAD-6 (Infantry Air Defence) missiles.

Armour
Like the previous M2120's the A4 features a titanium hull with a sandwich of DU and tungsten mesh over a honeycomb of small empty air cells containing CO2 gas. If the tank is hit the enemy round must burn through the titanium hull, then the DU and tungsten mesh then through a ceramic layer, through the CO2 pockets which are designed to displace oxygen to remove some of the fire threat as well as collapse removing some of the threat of shock damage then through another ceramic layer then a mesh of DU and tungsten and the inner layer of the titanium hull.

The A4 can also be equipped with the latest version of the Gladiator defence system which uses, hard kill, electronic jamming and visual jamming to distract enemy missiles. It can also be equipped with ERA bricks for further protection.

Movement
The A4 has been equipped with a SGT-5 gas turbine engine provides the same horsepower as the the previous SGT-3 but is more fuel efficient. Suspension is provided by the TSS hydro pneumatic-torsion bar hybrid.

Electronics
The A4 is equipped with full C4I (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence) capability and is designed to operate using the SMBN (Sciox Military Battle Network) which can be accessed from every point on the globe allowing tank platoons to instantly take control of their attached UCAVs or UGVs to scout the area ahead of them, establish links directly to the decision makers behind the lines, or make use of the latest tactical information gathered by everything from infantry recon teams to satellites. All this is driven by a powerful on-board LCC-20 computer linked to multiple touch screens on board the A4 to allow the crew to do more tasks without having dozens of different controls in front of them. For example on the old A1 the gunner would have his joystick and several banks of switches, screens and dials with which to fulfil his task. In the A4 he has just three touch screens and a joystick allowing the gunner to alter the display and controls to suit him more easily.

The SAF's special forces, the 121st was originally formed by the Republican forces during the civil war out of rescued POWs, defectors and the remnants of other squadrons that had been torn apart in the aircraft meat grinder of the war's early years. Under the command of General Terry "Hangman" Quk, the 121st quickly became the Supreme Commander's trouble shooters, often carrying out missions in conjunction with the Ranger Corps. The 121st would eventually be credited with breaking the siege of Reach, sinking the loyalist 1st fleet and demolishing their anchorage, slipping through the front lines to nearly kill King Demetrius IV three times and escorting and supporting the paratroopers that finally took the Royal Palace and ended the war.

Today the 121st accepts only the best men who have proven themselves in combat and leadership roles in a variety of aircraft, the 121st has a 94% mission success rate spread across over forty years of almost continuous combat. As fits their elite role the 121st have far more aircraft then pilots so that they can have the best equipment set for any mission and their aircraft and armaments are usual next generation prototypes or hugely effective aircraft that never reached production because of their expense.

Sqadrons
The wing is split into four squadrons that are identified by color rather then number.

Blue squadron, the Blue Bloods, was originally raised as the air force of High Lord Xero Quin's private army and many of them were part of the lower nobility. When Quin joined the Republicans he gave his forces to the Supreme Commanders and the men who were referred to as "blue bloods" behind their back were assigned to the 121st and took on the insult as a sign of pride. Quin had been one of the richer Lords both before and during the war and his funding had ensured that his army was well equipped and trained, though lacking in actual combat experience and the variety of aircraft the blue bloods brought to the wing would form the foundation of the 121st's modern doctrine. Today Blue squadron forms the second half of the wing's dedicated air superiority section and are identified by the blue details on their planes and the blue drop of blood and crown patches on their uniforms.

White squadron, the Hangmen, was originally formed by POWs who were captured during the civil war and sentenced to death but formulated an escaped before their punishment could be carried out, the Squadron's leader, and later wing commander, Terry Quk was moments from choking to death before his men cut the rope around his neck. Many of the squadron were veterans of not just the civil war but the decade of civil unrest and expeditionary wars wars that preceded it and they brought an understanding of the loyalists few others in the wing had. Today they form half of the wing's dedicated air superiority section and are identified by the white details on their planes and the noose and skull patches on their uniforms.

Red Squadron, the Sky Squids, were originally a naval aviation squadron on the carrier King Samuel. When the war began the carrier and most of it's crew joined the Republican forces but were stationed almost on the other side of the world and while the carrier and its reduced battle group, the ships that had remained loyal to the king been destroyed, made for home at their best speed they ran straight into a hostile submarine. The sub was eventually forced to back off after it had crippled the Samuel and destroyed the cruiser Voyager. The carrier's first squadron, twelve pilot's and their WSOs, were able to escape the doomed ship by flying twenty three surviving F-4 fighters, carrying as many crewmen as they could in the rear seats of their planes. After reaching Sciox and linking up with friendly forces they were hailed as heroes but without any carriers with room for them they were assigned to the 121st, the squadron brought the planes that white squadron would use for the duration of the war and fifty three technicians and engineers who had spent on average five years maintaining and arming fighter aircraft. Today the squadron makes up the 121st's dedicated ground attack component and is identified by the red details on their planes and the naval aviator patches on their uniforms, they are the only SAF squadron allowed to use them.

Black squadron, the Reapers, was originally formed by the survivors of other squadrons from across the Republican air forces that had been nearly decimated during the civil war. Because of the high mortality rate for front line units rate many of the original Reapers were support units and shot and scoot units such as tankers, AWACs, bombers and wild weasels. When combined with the other squadron's that would form the original 121st they filled niches that the others, being air superiority units equipped with F-4's, couldn't. While in most fighter wings the support craft are considered separate units from the squadron's they are attached to, in the 121st both the bombers and support craft wear black details and their pilots wear black scythe patches. Today the Reaper's are home to the 121st's dedicated support units but also to a squadron of bombers, as such they are the largest unit within the 121st in manpower and Black squadron pilots joke that they keep the other squadrons in the air, while their comrades that without their air cover the Reapers would get shot down a dozen times a mission.

Aircraft
24 F-80X Griffons
An experimental variant of the still new Griffon fighter, the X uses maneuvering jets based on those used in orbital spacecraft and new alloys in it's frame and skin to alloy for high speeds while still maintaining stealth capabilities and structural integrity. The X is also equipped with the loading system and software to utilize the 121st's more exclusive armaments. It's cost precludes any chance of it ever becoming Sciox's standard fightercraft but many of the technologies used in it may one day show up in other planes across
12 A-24X Ravens
An experimental version of the A-24 Raven has been theorized about for many years but except for some blurry photos has never been seen in public, unlike the F-80X though this A-24 variant will one day see regular use. The only thing that really separates the X from regular A-24s is a slight redesign to decrease its radar signature and its ability to carry the newer weapons that will one day be standard but are currently only used by the 121st.
12 B-12C Crossbows
The B-12C is an aircraft that will never see general use in the SAF, it was designed as an experimental "how far can we go" jet that used every piece of experimental tech R&D could cram into it's air frame and the result was a bomber that could barely be considered stealthy and handled like a pig but glided better then a space shuttle and could fly into low orbit by itself unlike the similar XF-90 Apollo and come screaming back into the atmosphere to deliver dumb iron, smart bombs or whatever else it pilot wanted to.
4 EB-12 ACCC
The EB-12 is eventually planned for deployment across the SAF to replace the aging EB-52s in the AWACs and airborne missile ship role. Although it carries less weapons overall then it's bomber counterpart the EB-12 carries a setup similar to the EB-52, its standard load consists of over the horizon air to air missiles, UCAVs loaded for air to air combat and ammunition for its six 25mm point defense guns while it's potent EAGLE-I radar system allows the EB-12 to see most enemy aircraft before they see it.
4 AR-12 Refuelers
The AR-12 was produced by a similar program to the EB-12 and B-12C. The SAF's R&D department recognized many years ago that stealth was the way of the future and so went about integrating as many stealth systems into their aircraft as possible, however few politicians were willing to release the funds for a tanker aircraft that was invisible to radar so R&D looked towards their age old tradition of converting an existing aircraft. The program brought in many engineers who had worked with the EB-12 and B-12C and they looked at removing the bomb bays and combat systems to produce a nearly invisible craft that some of them thought might one day be able to follow combat aircraft into enemy territory, relying on it's stealth to keep it safe. The AR-12 is a fulfillment of that vision, it is capable of refueling aircraft on the move, it has a smaller radar cross section then the air craft it was based on and just for a little bit of extra protection it retained the air to air missile bays.
28 XF-90 Apollos
4 V-30J Phantoms
The V-30J is a new variant of the Phantom that uses tilt jets in place of the original rotors, while the newer engines don't have the same fuel economy they are lighter and provide enough thrust to let the J perform impressive maneuvers when threatened.

Sciox Air Force Space Domination Command

Increasingly in recent days the Sciox Military Council has come to realise that the key to dominating the battlefields of the future is to maintain domination in Earth's orbit. To this end, the Council created the Air Force's Space Domination Command, commonly referred to as SDC, a mainly R&D unit dedicated to ensuring Sciox's uncontested control of the final frontier for the foreseeable future. Already since it began operations in 2002, SDC has made huge strides in ABM defense, reusable heavy launch vehicles, rapid response weapons systems and round the clock intelligence gathering capabilities. The pinnacle of which is the Olympus Strategic Battle System, an array of orbital weapon platforms, surveillance satellites and ground bases, due to be completed in 2013 with the deployment of the last of six Regent class carrier satellites, which will provide an orbital base for the XF-90 Apollo combat space plane as well as staging grounds for civilian exploration of the solar system.

However much of what SDC has accomplished and are currently working on is heavily classified, the unit's existence and the amount of funding it consumes is not and there have been multiple calls in among the Representatives to have SDC disbanded however it's value in the eyes of the military has lead to the Council threatening to veto more then one politically motivated piece of legislation.

Infantry Equipment

One of the most common pieces of equipment in the Sciox Armed Forces, the IPA-3 is a single piece body suit that is used is all services with color being the only difference. The suit is designed to keep the wearer at a comfortable temperature and not be too uncomfortable in heat or cold. The suit is able to interface with standard infantry survival gear, so waste can automatically collected and the wearer can be sealed away from biological or chemical agents.

The IPA-4 Armour System is a series of armored suits that use interchangeable parts to allow soldiers to modify their armor based on their current mission and personal preferences. All carry the standard computer and electronic systems to allow a Sciox soldier to patch into his regional COMNET and fit over standard issue IPA-3 fatigues, allowing soldiers to remain comfortable in extreme temperatures and able to quickly seal themselves against biological agents or radiation.


The standard heavy, medium and light armor configurations, most surveyed Sciox marines say they prefer to use the heavy chest plate, medium arms and shoulders and light helmet.

COMNET, short for Combat Network, is a heavily decentralized web of personal bio-sensor feeds, vehicle and infantry positions and supply records woven through a global array of dozens of ground stations, orbital satellites and soldiers and vehicles. COMNET allows a commanders to keep track of their troops and their status in almost real time and soldiers to quickly call in support, by patching directly to a squadron leader or by taking direct control of an artillery battery with the consent of the battery commander withing seconds.

Overview
The LUV-80 is a modern 4WD utility vehicle built in a contract for the Holy Empire of Fogumata (Now an ex-nation) to replace their fleet of HMMWVs. According to the contract the Fogumatan army wanted a vehicle that was a general improvement over the HMMWV but in particular they wanted an increased mine resistance and greater mobility in tough terrain. The LUV-80 features a greater ground clearance, better all around armour and its V shaped hull and wide variety of armaments make it an excellent choice of light vehicle for a 21st century military.

On the modern battlefield, logistics, maintenance and their entailing cost can quickly bring an end to an army’s advance, no matter how successful or far reaching. For as Napoleon Bonaparte once said “An army marches on its stomach”.

So when we at Scion Defence were asked to build a series of light vehicles for a series of nation’s militaries our immediate thoughts were “Not several vehicles with one job each, but one vehicle capable of doing multiple jobs”. The result of this line of thought was the M2100 MFCV (Multiple Function Vehicle Chassis), a vehicle chassis that is easily modified to do any task required of it, wether it be anything from infantry transport to artillery support.

For a price, depending on what purposes you wish it for, Scion Defence is willing to create custom designs based on the M2100 chassis.

Overview
The M2101 is the first vehicle in the M2100 series. It is designed to act as a troop carrier, infantry support vehicle and to support armoured vehicles. It is of particular value in urban combat zones where its advanced 360 degree automated detection system can be set to engage any non-friendly targets it identifies, however normally the gun and missile system is controlled by the vehicle’s gunner. Its impressive firepower, speed and survivability make it a choice vehicle for those nations which wish to acquire a fearsome fighting vehicle but do not wish to spend the large amount of money that a modern MBT requires.

Overview
The M2102 is a fearsome mortar system. With its high fire rate and ability to carry laser and GPS guided rounds it takes the firepower of an entire battery and puts it in the hull of one vehicle. An enemy that is unlucky enough to come up against a battery of six 02s can face a barrage of up to 108 (18 rounds from each vehicle) 105mm mortar rounds landing on his position all at once, thanks to the SUMB’s MRSI capability.

Overview
Modern airborne forces must travel light and that means forgoing the firepower that comes with heavy vehicles such as tanks, most efforts to rectify this problem over the years have normally resulted in vehicles that their crews have described as death traps. Now Scion Defence is proud to present our solution. The M2103 Light Armoured Gun is a tank in everything but name. Its armour is thicker then that of the other M21 vehicles but it is still light and its capacity to take a beating can be further in increased by adding ERA (Explosive reactive armour) plates and the Gladiator anti-missile system. It has also proved its worth when combined with tilt rotor aircraft, allowing companies of vehicles to be delivered direct to the battle zone along with the battalions of airborne infantry they support .

The M2104 is in many ways an up gunned M2102. The vehicles share many of the same characteristics and capabilities but the M2104 can put more fire onto a target at a greater range. Combine that with the vehicle’s quiet speed and you have an artillery gun very well suited to shoot and scoot tactics. Its potent counter battery power has also been demonstrated in field tests. In one field test a battery of eight M2104s were able to sneak into a firing position only 12km from an insurgent camp. Each vehicle fired off eight cluster munitions rounds; each round contained 24 sub munitions using MRSI resulting in a devastating impact of 1,536 grenade sized sub munitions landing in an 800m square area, all at the same time. As a member of the observation team put it, “Someone ordered the shredded meat with extra overkill”.

M2120A3 MBT







When the first M2120 MBT rolled off the assembly line in 2001 it was considered a top of the line fighting vehicle however it still had several shortcomings that became all to apparent during it's first combat uses. In 2003 the M2120A1 was introduced to rectify some of these shortcomings, updating the electronics systems and crew survivability, however it was considered a stop gap measure. The major improvement to the M2120 came in 2005 with the A2, which turned the M2120 into a far superior fighting machine compared to the tank that bore it, but again the Sciox High Military Council considered it a stepping stone to the next generation the A3, due to their previous experience with the M2120 series Scion Defence was given the contract and the first prototype began trials in late 2009.

Completely redesigning major portions of the tank and installing entirely new, top of the line weapons the A3 is the finest weapon ever produced by Scion Defence.

Unit Price-11 million for complete vehicle, 1.4-5 million to upgrade from previous versions of the M2120

Armament
The A3's main armament is the devastating TG-9 140mm smooth bore mounted on an unmanned turret. While in many ways no different to other 140mm guns the TG-9's principle advantage comes form it's autoloader and caseless rounds which give the tank a punishing rate of fire. Based on the feeding system of the ICR-8 assault rifle the TG-9, stores it's round's on a rotating rack below and beside the main gun. When loading a round the chamber swivels horizontal to the gun and a round is fed into it. The chamber then swivels back into alignment with the gun and when the gunner pulls the trigger the round is fired. To select the next round to load the gunner merely uses a small touch screen in his control area to select the round and the ammunition rack rotates the appropriate round into the loading position and will keep feeding rounds of that type until the gunner changes the selection.


Step 1, a round has just been loaded


Step 2, the chamber rotates 90* to receive the next round (coloured red)


Step 3, the round is fed into the chamber


Step 4, the chamber rotates back into alignment with the chamber


Step 5, the round is fired


The process repeats

The A3's secondary armament is made up of a co-axial .50 calibre machine gun (200 rounds carried) and two Scion PDWS (Point Defence Weapon Systems), each consisting of a .50 calibre stacked projectile machine gun (400 rounds carried) and six IAD-6 (Infantry Air Defence) missiles.


One of the A3's PDWS weapons


Armour
Like the previous M2120's the A3 features a titanium hull with a sandwich of DU and tungsten mesh over a honeycomb of small empty air cells containing CO2 gas. If the tank is hit the enemy round must burn through the titanium hull, then the DU and tungsten mesh then through a ceramic layer, through the CO2 pockets which are designed to displace oxygen to remove some of the fire threat as well as collapse removing some of the threat of shock damage then through another ceramic layer then a mesh of DU and tungsten and the inner layer of the titanium hull.

The A3 can also be equipped with the latest version of the Gladiator defence system which uses, hard kill, electronic jamming and visual jamming to distract enemy missiles. It can also be equipped with ERA bricks for further protection.

Movement
The A3 has been equipped with a newer SGT-4 gas turbine engine which while slightly more fuel guzzling the the previous SGT-2 produces more horsepower, in this case 1600hp compared to the previous 1500hp. Suspension is provided by the TSS hydro pneumatic-torsion bar hybrid. Use of many weight saving systems throughout the vehicle allow the A3 to reach speeds of 100km/h on road and 75km/h off road with a maximum range of 750km or 1000 with external fuel tanks.

Electronics
The A3 is equipped with full C4I (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence) capability and is designed to operate using the SMBN (Sciox Military Battle Network) which can be accessed from every point on the globe allowing tank platoons to instantly take control of their attached UCAVs or UGVs to scout the area ahead of them, establish links directly to the decision makers behind the lines, or make use of the latest tactical information gathered by everything from infantry recon teams to satellites. All this is driven by a powerful on-board LCC-20 computer linked to multiple touch screens on board the A3 to allow the crew to do more tasks without having dozens of different controls in front of them. For example on the old A1 the gunner would have his joystick and several banks of switches, screens and dials with which to fulfil his task. In the A3 he has just three touch screens and a joystick allowing the gunner to alter the display and controls to suit him more easily.

Aircraft

A medium helicopter for troop transport and cargo delivery, the UH-45 Valkyrie began as a research project to address the vulnerability of helicopters in an urban combat zone, over time however it evolved into a full blown aircraft development. While outwardly similar to other aircraft in terms of ability the Valkyrie has a few differences that can give it an edge over other helicopters in combat. The most obvious are the coaxial rotors, while this is in some ways more maintenance intensive then the standard tail rotor design common to most helicopters, it eliminates a deadly weakness in a combat helicopter and places all the components that give the Valkyrie it's maneuverability at the top of the aircraft within the armoured fuselage, making it harder for ground fire to bring down the aircraft. The second slightly less obvious change is the repositioning of the door guns from the front of the troop bay, where they are found on most helicopters, to the rear and combined with a mount that allows the gunner to swing the entire weapon outside the aircraft, allowing the gunner to better cover the rear of the aircraft, when combined with the nose's mounted 20mm gun and it's 360 degree fire radius, a vigilant aircrew is able to keep the immediate area clear of RPG toting hostile infantry, while still covering and infantry embarking or disembarking.

The F-60 is a manned stealth aircraft capable of handling air superiority, ground support and patrol missions. A fifth generation multirole stealth fighter it stands above many other aircraft of its type, filling slots that are normally held by aircraft such as the Mig-29, F-16, F-15 or PAK FA. Striking a balance between ultra high performance, but consequently very expensive aircraft and cheap jets that are bought by the hundreds the F-60 can outperform cheap fighters thrown against it en masse and it will typically outnumber dedicated air superiority aircraft that outperform it.

The AV-30 Reaper is based upon the highly successful V-30 Phantom tilt rotor. However instead of acting as a mere utility aircraft the Reaper is designed to take the fight to the enemy and demolish them under a highly accurate barrage of shells and missiles. This allows it to excel in three roles.

-Detection and interdiction of enemy forces
-Escort of less heavily armed aircraft (in particular it’s parent aircraft the Phantom)
-Deployment and support of small Special Forces units.

The V-30 Phantom builds upon the foundation that was established by the Boeing V-22 Osprey. The first production aircraft of its type the Osprey opened a new door in aircraft design that has been exploited by Scion Defence to design and produce a tilt rotor that raises the bar on tilt rotor design. With its advanced sensor suite, large cargo capacity and impressive survivability the V-30 is the best choice for those nations looking for a tilt rotor that will serve them well and for a long time.

When the parachute was first used in combat it opened a whole new chapter of warfare and over the years the paratrooper concept has evolved to the point where a nation can put boots on the ground at any point on the planet within hours of declaring war but the problem remains of supplying the troops with the heavier gear that can’t be thrown out the back of a plane with them. Now with the VC-4 Scion has made our attempt to rectify this crucial shortcoming in the tip of the spear of many nation’s armies. With the VTOL capability of the VC-4 it is possible to deliver everything from heavy artillery to supplies to medium tanks with speed and accuracy. Its first use was during an exercise between the Republic of Sciox and the Empire of Fogumata. A squadron of four VC-4s was used by the Fogumaten Air Force to deliver two platoons of M2115 medium tanks into the Sciox forces rear. Within hours they had destroyed three Sciox fuel and ammo dumps and drawn enough troops away from the front to allow the Fogumaten army to breakthrough and secure victory and prove the value of a new and valuable aircraft.

[Sciox]

The period of the late 1850s to early the early 1920s is remembered as the golden age of Sciox's noble class. Everything from medicine to industry was booming to previously unheard of levels of prosperity and the armies that served them were no exception. However this golden age came at the expense of the millions of middle and lower class citizens and so this era also saw the formation of the revolutionary groups that eventually brought the government to it's knees in the sixties, then a decade later overthrew the Monarchy completely.

Rebel soldiers during the 1921 rebellion in Jerolia. Using a large cache of captured weapons and an incdrebily well planned series of defenses the rebels inflicted 42,000 casualties on the Royal Legion, losing roughly 17,000 men in the process. After a second rebellion in 1927 in which the Legion suffered even heavier casualties, every Jerolian male over the age of 14 was put to death and the Legion established a permanent presence in the region.

Army Equipment

Common Infantry

The combat uniform of Sciox's regular infantry during this time consisted of a heavy coat over a full body, including feet, jumpsuit. Unlike the Royal Legionnaire's Uniform it was designed to be easily churned out by the hundreds thousands when full conscription was implemented and millions of common men and women were called up to defend Sciox.

Royal Legionnaire's Uniform

The Royal Legions were the standing army of the time and were made up of extremely skilled soldiers drawn from the nobility and as such they received a great deal of funding to equip their units. Their combat uniforms were similar to those worn by the standard infantry but made use of metal plates to protect Legionnaires from shrapnel and small arms fire, this made the armor quite heavy but the extra protection proved vital when the Legion deployed to put down well armed insurrections. The gas mask was a feature that was rarely used when it was introduced but later became one of the most favored parts of the armor as the Legion began making regular use of chemical and biological weapons in combat.

Imperial Armaments Mk.1 Repeating Rifle
Designed in 1892 to replace the Mk.4 Imperial Standard Rifle, the Mk.1 Repeater was a leap forward from the older muzzle loaded rifle. It was above and beyond almost all other military rifles in service at the time and it served at the frontline of all Sciox's conflicts until the 1980s, when it was replaced by the ICR-4 assault rifle.

Cartridge-.270 Winchester
Action-Long recoil, semi automatic
Muzzle velocity-2980ft/s
Effective range-800 yards
Feed system-8 round tubular magazine
Sights-Ghost ring sights



Mk.3 Service Pistol
First introduced in 1925 to replace the older Mk.2 Service Revolver, the Mk.3 was greatly improved on it's predecessor. Carrying a heavier round, more ammunition and being much easier to strip and service, the Mk.3 became an instant hit amongst the troops. Updated several times over the years it is still in service as of 2014 under the designation ICS-1D, and with no clear competitor in sight, it may very well make it to the the centennial mark.

Soldiers who served in the Army until forced to retire were typically given silver plated pistols, with Rethanis Lizard ivory handles as a retirement gift. A similar tradition is still carried out in the Marine forces, although the pistol is plated with a brown nickel and inlaid with Lapis Lazuli along it's length to symbolize the Marines role of warriors of both the land and sea.

Cartridge-.45 ACP
Action-Short recoil, semi automatic
Muzzle velocity-280 m/s
Effective range-40 meters

Imperial Armaments Mk.2 Light Machine Gun
Designed to compliment the Mk.1 Repeater in front line combat, the Mk.2 LMG became Sciox's earliest example of a squad automatic weapon when it was introduced in 1913. In combat soldiers using the LMG would advance towards the enemy while their comrades using the longer ranged and more accurate Mk.1 repeater would attempt to cover them.

[Sciox]

This section is dedicated to the equipment and forces of the Sciox Imperial Army and Navy of the 1960s to 1970s period. Although the services still retained the edge they had held for any years, divisions were beginning to appear as military services began to question their side in the revolutionary battles. By 1975, when Sciox erupted into civil war helicopters, missiles and jet aircraft had replaced the weapons that had enabled the Monarchy to unite the country under one ruler two hundred and fifty years before.

Ground Vehicles

Clansman Mk4 MBT

The fourth iteration of the Tribesman tank, the Mk4 was Sciox's first main battle tank. Introduced in 1959, it was a vast improvement over the Mk3 and indeed it shared vary little in common with it's predecessor. The turret had been redesigned, new electronics had been installed (including a radio system capable of linking with aircraft) and the main gun had been upgraded to a significantly more powerful 120mm rifled gun. It's first combat debut during the second war with Unified New Mexico proved that it was an effective fighting platform, although only a third of the Royal Army and half of the Royal Marines were equipped with the tank at the time, causing it to serve alongside older Mk3s and even a few Mk2 tanks
