What's the scariest thing about the AN's military? Part V

[UNSPDC]

The Kashmir. Only so because it's one of the few field-tested and actually adopted tanks I've seen that take inspiration from IRL programs with 130-mil tanks. Those are pretty important in today's age.

[UIJ]

I would say the magical shipgirls, I assume they have the power of a naval ship, but can bring that onto land.

[The Caleshan Valkyrie]

While thar be a lot of nightmare fuel in that thar factbook, one thing stuck out at me in particular:

Goopsters

No description, no flavor text, just…

Goopsters

I know not whether to be afraid or aroused, and THAT makes me afraid.

[Horacellum Testing Grounds]

Every word related to their military and technologies they could muster within this factbook is something too menacing for anyone (unless if you're some interdimensional Empire with delusional level of godlike powers, but that's unlikely, isn't it?)

[Knights Mare Nostrum]

Great Summoning. Conjure forth an exact replica of any living beings or mythological creatures using a massive quantity of Life Ensof and other Ensof related to the figure summoned (example: Summoning a fiery monster requires Fire Ensof, and summoning a sea creature requires a Water Ensof). Note that the beings created from the Great Summoning does not have its own soul, nor its own consciousness, and can only stay as long as the caster wills it or able to hold it.

...mythological creatures? Does this mean you can summon, say Cthulhu, Fenrir, or Superman? Because I'd definitely be weary of that, no matter if it's soulless and temporary or not.

[Alternate Gallifrey]

The Assassin units would actually be quite scary if you think about it. Imagine if they managed to steal a uniform of your army. Suddenly there is an assassin in your ranks and your men suddenly start dropping dead with stab wounds to their sides and back. Because the assassin is diguised as one of your own, it'll be difficult to root them out before they put a sizable dent in your army.

[The Caleshan Valkyrie]

The fact that they have an AI capable of erasing entire galaxies before you can finish a blink, yet they still go to the trouble of making a battleship that is little more than a glorified crossbow. That'd be like the US saying 'All the nukes are good and all, but can we build a really big bomb out of whoopee cushions?'

*files idea away for later*

[Point Chayenne]

We don't have a military, so anything they have is already scary.

[Janpia]

They have 38 million manpower. And 7 million in reserves.

[Knights Mare Nostrum]

The Total War Order.

If it gets to the point they execute the Total War Order, mobilize every single one of their citizens and have their fingers on the nuke button, you know shit is going to go down bad.

[Hrstrovokia]

Amongst their elite units they can count the Gallowglass; Irish and Norse mercenaries who act as elite foot Infantry. Even as far away as Hrstrovokia, we have learned of their unrelenting determination and professionalism - not to mention their skill and savagery when provoked.

[UIJ]

Gunna go with the 3K55 Bastion-P Missile Defense Systems, mobile anti-ship launchers are typically one of the highest value targets behind air defenses.

[Knights Mare Nostrum]

The Ha'Hosh warriors themselves look like absolute nightmare fuel... like somebody's sleep paralysis demon got brought to life and is now being used in universal conquest.

Aw thanks, they practically are my sleep paralysis demon, but I love them

[Hengzihua]

Would launch crusades if you make fun of Jesus or any of the Christian saints, or generally Christianity as a whole. And would chant "Deus Vult!" as they march.

[Dromund Kaass]

No idea what to say about AN, as there are no fact books and increasing millitary spending alone isn't really that scary. Sorry.

Since it’s basically the empire’s military from Star Wars, I would have to say any destroyer class ships

[Knights Mare Nostrum]

That's a pretty big number on that budget... also, those star fighters are terrifyingly more advanced than anything we've got... that being a satellite.

[Gonswanza]

So imagine you take the knights of the middle ages and dark ages... And modernized them to a terrifying degree, keeping the same aesthetic, with added mechs.

Honestly the fact they even have mechs offer a nod to their technological mastery, along with offering a completely unique angle to war, given they are still reliant on otherwise archaic methods, with a modern (almost sci-fi) twist.

Still, the mechs are the cherry on top for me.

[Free Ravensburg]

The radioactive rounds. Why use something that harms the army?

[Latorik]

Despite its relatively low number of operational aircraft and sparse data when it comes to their small arms, their space fleet is definitely an 'I win' button to even some relatively low tier FT nations. Large number of capital ships, supported by over two thousand associated small craft

Throw in like four or five superweapons as icing on the cake

[The Caleshan Valkyrie]

They have nuclear hand grenades…

That’s just unsporting.

[Monoliths]

Their land carrier not only is it large but they somehow have the manpower and resources to operate them and also have bunch of 3D and fabrication printers to print out anything that they would need but wait said stuff with enough resources and time can produce another land carrier

[Gonswanza]

While it's not entirely military-related, it still applies:

The zone. It's very nature is enough to turn an otherwise calm, mundane advance into a massacre, given it's esoteric, unstable nature and hidden threats, paired to the absolute worst conditions one could ever encounter and then some! And yet, these people are well adapted to the terrain, hence, they hold the advantage... It would be a mistake to go to war against them, much less declare war in the first place.

[The African Emirates]

I've already done a lot on the tech of Gonswanza's military, so something else for now.

The frightening combing of 17 million people available for service and a fervent hate for the United States make it much more than just a bigger North Korea. It actually has a pretty modern fighting force, so it can actually fully equip its army(unlike the DPRK)
