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

[Columbestria]

After researching Latorik's military capabilities, we came across information regarding a space station they have, and it appears to be weaponized. Any MT nation with a weaponized space station is strong and scary in my book.

Doing Columbestria because wtf guys...

They’ve a pretty sizable and well equipped military. Plenty of cutting edge stuff. They’d be a challenge for most any force in that tech area.

[Cybus1]

The enemy can use either massive land carriers bristling with weapons or fast attack direwolves, giving them a good degree of flexibility between “destroy everything”, “hit and run”, or a number of other options. The flexibility of the tribes makes them an unpredictable opponent.

[The Saucer Pilots]

I'd say it's the Archer Class Artillery Cruiser. Other vehicles of their space navy have more exotic sounding weaponry but imagining a "Macross Missile Massacre" comes easy when that ship type has more than a dozen-thousand missile pods.

[Comerciante]

"The Model 1947/52 Saucer is what draws my eye. Its unique utilization of Gravity as a defensive and crowd control mechanism to prevent enemy missiles and other projectiles is fascinating as well as its ability to dilate time to a certain degree. The Meson Laser is also impressive as a way to bypass enemy armor, but how does it react against enemy energy fielding is my question."

[Latorik]

The Jericho combat drone is a nigh on seven foot tall self repairing death bot armed with what amounts to explosive autocannons and vibro blades

add in the elite group of nigh-immortal psionic super soldiers capable of surviving everything bar a total soul wipe or other equally esoteric means of damage and you start to realize how scary Comerciante really is, and that's merely taking in the ground forces.

They somehow fit nuclear capabilities in a hand grenade. How they could fit all the fissile material is beyond me, it might be more like a dirty bomb but I could be wrong. Either way, nuclear scary. Same goes with their land mines, tbh.

handwaved around due to the presence of alien tech that is somewhat integrated into their tech

[Greater Cosmicium]

Their aircraft carriers are scary and everything, any MT nation with aircraft carriers is pretty scary, but the scariest thing remains their 21.1 million potential reserve. You may be able to kill them all, but seeing whole cities fill with blood as millions of reservists died would be a shock to any invading army, even one indescribably more advanced.

[Sherechia]

1. some of your tanks/artillery are concerningly heavy, heavy enough that they might have their own gravity judging from their thousand to million tons of weight.
2. You have spaceships, a lot of countries have them but Sherechia is MT and the closest thing we have is a bunch of civillian satellites.
3. Lego bricks

[Fenvaria Republic]

I think the DAISAN M80U is pretty scary in terms of armor which it has a lot of. Also cause I am just imagining the design process for it went like

"So how much armor do we need on this thing?"
"Yes"
"That is not an answer"
"Yes it is"
sigh "Fine, lets slap all of the armor on it"

[Qhevak]

Universal conscription and provision of reserve kits means that every mature member of their population has the gear and training to fight back in the event of an invasion. Good luck occupying Fenvaria when there's literally a rifle behind every blade of grass.

[Greater Cosmicium]

(conclusion based on "Modern Space Warfare" page )

Welcome to "realistic" FT space bombardment, featuring teraton-scale bombs. That much yield would give the Chicxulub asteroid (the one that killed the dinosaurs and 75% of all other species too) a run for its money and certainly send any planet it's dropped on into a very long nuclear winter.

I've been working behind the scenes on some of the technologies the remnants of Cosmicium will be fighting for, all relevant technologies in "Technology" spoiler.

P.S. The toroidal stuff may look like gibberish to you, that's just because your brain isn't hyperspatially wired through infinite layers of triangular reality! Seriously though, it's probably still more comprehensible than so many quantum science (or advanced mathematics) papers that come out on arXiv or something.

P.P.S. Seriously, try reading this paper on the angular analysis of... something gamma rays., randomly grabbed from the recent entries on arXiv.

[Latorik]

Not counting many of their units devastating potential, just the sheer size of their military forces are bound to overwhelm pretty much anyone outside of a very very high level of hax or technological advancement

Most of their equipment is in the nonillions or higher

[Acraus Federation]

The shield belt. Our shield tech is new and can only fit on vehicles like tanks at the smallest and even that is pushing it. The fact that they can fit that technology on a belt shows how much more their shield technology is matured to ours. Enemy shielded vehicles are very likely to have much stronger shields than our comparable units and pose a serious threat.

[Mirum]

The Unity-class, because, well, space dreadnaught. I mean, take a look at that armament. How could you not be scared going up against that?


BN, I know I don't have an equipment factbook yet, but could you please try your hardest with what I have so far?

the Lack of info on it, as i always have believed, there are two mighty weapons to use in warfare, deception, and overwhelming fire power, Mirum might have both

[Latorik]

Eleven thousand fighters is alot, assuming they're modern, that's like twice as much as the entire world combined

[Mirum]

Well, for one, their armor suits (like the integrated trauma suit) are very scary, as they make the soldiers near immortal in some cases. Also, I mentioned that AN's ''Not one step back'' policy is quite terrifying, right? No? Well, it is. And once again, let's not forget the nuclear hand grenades.

[The Caleshan Valkyrie]

Total number of carriers: 2 ‘supercarriers’

Total number of naval fightercraft: 1500

Apparently, calling them ‘supercarriers’ is an understatement. Even with naval assets held groundside, that be pretty damn impressive.

[GreatOceania]

The fact they can make heavy vehicles very light with just nanotubes and carbon fiber is kinda impressive

It ain't the size of the macromolecule that counts, it's how you use it!

Those dark matter bombs are just... well then.

Thats insane.
