The First Citizen meanwhile is doing stupid things such as blowing up old tanks and attempting (failing) to cook duck. While he is serious at times, he can be quite the lunatic!

The USS Baker, Based off the Zumwalt-class destroyer, Basic Info:
Length: 600 ft
Beam: 80.7 ft
Draft: 27.6 ft
Displacement: 16,000 tons
Propulsion: Fusion MK-2 Simplified Engine
Speed: up to 150 knots.
Armor: Titanium Grade A++
Shielding: M-170 Super Heavy Tank standard.
Armament:
- 1 multi-megaton double laser cannon (hidden)
- 80 missile launch cells.
- 6 30mm Bolter miniguns
Stealth System: M-760 Corvette Cloak.

Information:
The USS Baker is named after Admiral Baker, a casualty of the UN Final Naval Battle and a good friend of Cpt. Ahmed. Ahmed created this ship originally to honor his dead friend's legacy. The ship was designed with speed and maneuverability in mind, not frontline combat. It has the
ability to submerge like a sub, and has an advanced cloaking system normally used on Union corvettes. However, it lacks in both armor and shielding (it uses a tank's shield), the first extremely inferior to that of fog ships. The shield is only around 2/3 that of a fog heavy cruiser, but recharges faster.
This ship, while certainly well armed, was never intended for combat. With a strong laser, it can take on up to a heavy cruiser (as long as said ship doesn't use its Super Gravity Cannon) but otherwise you're screwed if fighting anything larger. It's cloaking allows it to slip by enemy vessels without a trace; great for running away and passing blockades. Its extremely high speed is also great for such purposes.
Probably the most prominent feature though, is the Cargo hold. Using a special containment field, this hold can save 5 times normal space, making this ship great for transport.
Unsurprisingly, Richard is most likely going to use it for running blockades and getting things where they need to go.

This ship would be extremely hard to mass produce, and it took Ahmed 17 years to make it, with a lot of help of course. It would cost nearly 1.5 Trillion USD. There is only one.

There you go! I hope its ok!

Looks good enough to me.

So I'm letting the UAS in the AoBS Arc along with the USS Baker after you've answered these few questions: (I'm really sorry for having to badger you like this but the whole idea is just so interesting that I want to make it as good as possible)

You mentioned Missiles, what missiles exactly? This is 2056, the era where Missiles double as torpedoes and vice-versa so just list them as "Boomy Warhead MK 6" instead of "Boomy Missile Mk 4 and Boomy Torpedo Mk 1".

I'm guessing those 6 Bolters act as the Baker's AA and CIWS so they'll be extremely short range and won't be used in any long ranged engagements. How good are those in their job exactly? How many missiles can they shoot down from long range, medium, and short without interferance from jamming and the like? Just like all other Systems, I'm guessing those are spoofable.

Next up on the list is the Cloaking Device. I'm gonna go ahead and say that as long as the Baker stands still underwater, it won't be detected and that Fog Ships (Observation Submarines, Sonabuoys etc) with specialized equipment can detect the ship regardless of the cloak and position. You'll have to stir the waters in order to hide from those.

Lastly, just like Fog Ships, the Baker can't use its Bolters or its laser cannon underwater. It'll have to rely on its missile cells for protection. Just like other submersible surface ships, the Baker is slower underwater. Let's say 80 knots max.

Last question, promise. I'm imagining the Baker has 3 Bolters on each side, starboard and larboard, while the laser cannon unfolds on the middle of the deck and the missile cells are scattered around the deck? Am I right?

Ok, last, last question because editing on the phone is haaard. I need specific numbers on munitions. How much ammo do the guns have? How many missiles? Another part of the AoBS arc will be picking your fights while having a limited amount of respurces so I need specifics. In canon I-401 sunk Hyuuga and her escorts and pretty much exhausted their supply of Corrossive Warheads. Same thing might happen here.

Name: Octavian Goldfyre. Sheogorath. The Champion of Cyrodiil. Hero of Kvatch. Divine Crusader. Daedric Prince of Madness.

Starting Affiliation: Good...VERY loosely. As by his nature, Sheogorath is unpredictable.

Gender: Can change at will. Almost always male.

Age: 200ish years

Appearance: (Image) This most of the time

Species: Daedric Lord

Universe of Origin: The Elder Scrolls series

Backstory: Released by chance from prison in the Imperial City, this hero's tale began as a courier for Uriel VII and ended in the salvation of all Tamriel from the forces of Mehrunes Dagon. The hero saved Tamriel again by reuniting the Relics of the Divine Crusader, defeating Umaril the Unfeathered, and even visited Sheogorath's realm of insanity to battle the Daedric prince Jyggalag and end an eons-long cycle of order and chaos, becoming the new Sheogorath, Prince of Madness.

Octavian was Imprisoned originally for scamming dozens of major companies over the years (Such as the east empire company) And ironically, was rather weak in the beginning. However, through rigorous training with the blades, he became a formidable warrior, and took the fight to Oblivion several times during the crisis.

Powers and Abilities: Daedric Magic. Expert Duelist, expert of Destruction magic. Control over the shivering Isles, and the ability to summon his Saints/Seducers, as well as Haskill

Weaknesses: Power drastically decreased without his cane. Power halved when not within the shivering Isles

Destructive Capacity: Within Oblivion: Multiverse Level. Outside Oblivion: Island Level

Speed: He can teleport..so.

Durability: While his soul is immortal, I'd have to put the durability of his pyshical body around Universe Level, as he is after all, a Daedric Prince. However, bare in mind, that is only if things resort to a slugfest. If he can, is is more likely to leave once injured, then stay

Lifting Strength: Superhuman class 10

Striking Strength: Varies

Stamina: Limitless

Standard Equipment: Wabbajack. The cane of Sheogorath

Have him appear briefly in Aebrenata complaining about not being told about this "Lovely" (chaotic) turn of events and then set off looking around, ending up in England.

I guess. Up to you though.

by **Aterrian Union** » Tue Nov 17, 2015 5:48 pm

Ok then, here are the answers:

1. The Missiles are Ahmed's own creations, using both tech from this Earth and some Union stuff.
He calls them M-12 Energy Warheads. They are better than current missiles, but weaker than fog torpedoes. Instead, the Baker relies on massive amounts to overwhelm the enemy. Because there are no places that manufacture these, it will be up to the crew to make them. Luckily, 3 out of the 10 members have the required skills. If all goes wrong, Richard can always buy standard Japanese or US missiles.

2. The Bolters are quite interesting. They are more advanced than Imperial Bolters, and have a range similar to the minigun system on most ships today. Each uses some sort of coil system to accelerate the shell, and all can maintain 3000 RPM. The bolter's programming is quite advanced, and can take large barrages with little issue, however, every once in a while the main computer has to undergo a recalibration. This can be dangerous. At medium and short range its almost guaranteed you'll shoot down an enemy missile. At long range results can vary. Just watch out when the computer recalibrates, you'll have to use manual controls during that time

. Jams can occur, it sucks when that happens.

3. The ship's design is simple. Laser near the front, missiles in the back area, and bolters lining the middle.

4. There will be a lot of ammo initially, thanks to the compressed storage. Each missile pod has 10 missiles, a total of 800 (remember each missile is only around 10% a fog torpedo in power). Every Bolter has 3000 rounds of ammo, with a shared total of 18000 rounds. The laser runs off the engine.

5. The Cloaking is fine, Richard and his crew might need to learn about it from combat.

Most Union Fleet personnel would laugh at a multi-megaton laser. In space, teraton lasers are the minimum for even hoping to do any damage to each other, at least in Union terms.

My First post for the new Arc will be Richard leaving the UAS following a major coup de ta that starts because his father dies. He will take all his Father's equipment. He will then head towards the pacific to bury his Father where the UN made it's last stand.

It would certainly be interesting if I-401 and the Baker ever encountered one another! To say Richard would be surprised is an understatement! :lol2:

Recent Events to keep in mind:

It has been months since I-401 successfully delivered the Vibration Warhead to the US and the USN is now gearing up for an offensive against the Fog. Rumour has it that they've found a way to bypass the Klein Field.

The Mediterranean and part of the Atlantic Blockade Fleets are being pushed back by the Scarlet Fleet and Europe is being dominated by Great Britain who has allied themselves with Musashi. France, Spain, Germany and Italy have made an alliance to keep the English in check.

The I-401 was last seen leaving the US towards Europe while the Hakugei-III goes back to Japan along with an envoy from the US Government.

Kongou has disappeared along with her private entourage after her fight with I-401, leaving all the Oriental Blockade Fleets under Nagato's command.

Shouldn't it be the opposite? The longer the range, the more time for an intercept, and the shorter the range, the less time the CIWS has to shoot down all Missiles? I've always thought that's the reason why the I-401 basically knife-fights with other Fog Ships. Its a High Risk, High Reward style that Gunzou loves to use.

Which Fog Torpedo though? The Lightning Missiles? The Corrossives? Or Explosoves?

If Corrossives, 10% is hard to quantify because I have no idea how much energy you need in order to create a spacetime tearing singularity the size of a dockyard that destroys matter.

I'm just gonna go ahead and say that the Laser is needed if Ahmed wants to sink a Fog Ship that isn't a PT Boat if that's okay. He'll want some Corrossives if he wants to tango against the Fog without relying on his superweapon all the time.

Some more questions I forgot to ask. Detection systems. I'm guessing its as good as a Fog Destroyer's but lacks the ability to discern which missile is which type?

When the laser fires, does it need to be charged up? If so, how long and does it keep the Baker rooted in place?

Good point, the Bolter system is odd to say the least. It hits more often at close range is what I meant. I'll say it takes 10 energy missiles to saturate a klein field to an equal extent as 1 corrosive torpedo. And yes, the detection system is proficient. As for the laser, well, Union Battle Ships need powerful standard weapons while on the move. Enough said. The laser won't hinder movement too much, but will drain the power core if used too often. It can be fired on low to high. On "low" power, the laser averages 2 3-second bursts at around 6 RPM. On "high" power, the gun charges for 1 minute, and when it fires, all hell breaks loose. This is effective vs Fog ships to say the least, and absolutely devastating against Human ships, which tend to dissappear almost immediately. The stream of fire lasts 15 seconds, however, after that shot , don't expect the laser to work for awhile. I did also say that Richard could get warheads from the Japanese (not free of course). If all goes to hell though, remember that Leman Russ? Richard took it aboard

. Well it might just serve its purpose (scrap the gun and attach it onto the ship).

I'm going to say Richard's largest asset by far right now is access to his father's data-slab. I'm sure the everyone would want access to a laser cannon. Richard won't be too keen on tech sharing, but he will if necessary.

by **Aterrian Union** » Tue Nov 17, 2015 8:15 pm

That reminds me, since the data-slab was intended to store all information pertaining to the Union Navy, a lot of concepts could be introduced, like cheap fusion missiles and what-not.

Hmm...Corrosive torpedoes sound awfully similar in concept to those singularity cannons I always mention.

**Everything Union produced is only used because of its combat effectiveness. All weapons are known for being deadly, and all armor and shielding have been tested time and time again. While many weapons look crude, they are actually extremely advanced. Union weapons are also designed for maximum damage and sheer brutality; war isn't friendly guys.

Hello everyone! Ehm...I hate to bug you, I only do this because I have permission from Aet, and I am really desperate for interest.

I have a RP, which i like to think has a lot of potential (It is based off the game. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim) And is set during the events of said game.. I think it could be quite interesting, but it's not getting alot of attention..And I'm not one to advertise, as I get somewhat confused, and worried that I might screw something up. So, I was hoping that maybe some folk here could check it out, if I get at least five people, I'll be making the signup thread, and I really hope I do..Until then, simply show your interest by posting in the OOC..Thanks for reading. I'll be tryingto be active here on Reality's bane as well.

In order to better understand the Union, you have to know about The Great Revolutionary War.

The Great Revolutionary War, or simply The Socialist Revolt, was a 1000 year long war where the Early Age Union battled the Imperium of Man for Galactic dominance. For Union Citizens today, it is remembered as the single most important event of our nation's history. Countless Trillions lost their lives, and many more were crippled and maimed. Thousands of worlds were purged of life, and many more were damaged beyond repair. There are a few survivors these days, and they are usually either retired or extremely high ranked in the Union command system.

The war was extremely brutal; an average planetary campaign would result in hundreds of millions, if not billions of casualties. There were thousands of these campaigns. Fighting was often centered on trench warfare and siege, and civilians were not spared from this. The Siege of Ryza: a major Union Production world, lasted nearly 20 years and resulted in nearly 120 Billion casualties, both civilian and military. Hand to hand was common, and human wave tactics were employed en masse. It wasn't surprising only around 25% of recruits survived their first combat. Veterans were rare, and those that survived long enough were often driven partially insane. Most worlds where such long campaigns had occurred were usually nothing more than burning wastelands afterwards.

Life during the Great Revolution was horrible. Imperial Citizens were worked harder than ever, and those in the Early Union weren't too much better off. Despite the Union having intact STC's and a high level of technology, distribution was poor, and most citizens lived in conditions similar to those of Imperial Hive cities. If you weren't dying on the front line, you were working your butt off at factories back in the home worlds. Food was heavily rationed, and most people ate protein bars, however, Union citizens got the occasional shipment of real food. Xeno threats were common, and disasters would strike (On May 23, 43219, Hive Fleet Goliath assaulted the Union World of Pretonnia. The world fell in just 4 days, billions died, and the fleet was forced to exterminate all life.).Many times the only reason people fought on was the sense that one day, one day their children could live better lives.

Union citizens fought for freedom, democracy, equality, but most of all, the right to live in such a cruel galaxy. Life was hard, and everyone knew that. You were just glad you didn't need to suffer alone. Even today, the Great Revolution has its influence, namely the hatred of magic and other weird xeno things.

The War ended on July 5, 44120, when final Imperial holdouts had surrendered. Celebrations lasted weeks and many broke down into tears. The war was over, we had won. So many had perished, so many had suffered, it was now time to rebuild. The 500 year plan began 1 year later, but that's a different story.

The War's end started a mass purge of the former Imperial Upper Class. Many were executed.

NEVER, laugh at this event in front of a veteran. Just don't.
Every year, there is a day dedicated to the end of war: July 5, Victory day.

**Apto, tell your magical girls this, I'm sure they would like to work 12 hours a day in some dirty factory, have little food, live in a ramshack slum, die on the frontline a thousand light years from home, get murdered and toyed with by xenos, and fear almost everything.

Mmm. K.

You know what this is called? Saber Rattling. Dick Waving. I don't appreciate it and I'm not gonna join a despair measurement contest. Look, Union. You're a chill guy but at least familiarize yourself with PMMM before you spout things like that. Reading the wiki, or blogs don't count mainly because they don't hit as hard as the show.

This is my main gripe with you actually, sometimes, it seems like you're always trying to one up people. Cut it out.

EDIT: Sorry for the short replies, 404 and Union. Running low on writing juice here.

Oh, the last part was just me ranting a bit about some stuff, it was extra (denoted by the **). I often rant a lot. I don't know, just seems to me I like to say random stuff.

I don't even watch PMMM, but I do know one thing to warn you about.
If you keep acting the way you do towards Magical Girls....

The ** came off as pretty confrontational actually. Admittedly, I've made the same dick waving, one upping mistakes before but I'm trying to keep myself in check. Next time, please read before you post to avoid things like this again.

Sans, that wonderful son of a gun, if I could just finish Undertale, I'd app for him in this RP.
