Terran Defense Force
The TDF was called to EGS's aid by Jstone. From a unverse where Earth was captured by aliens, the soldiers of the Terran Defense Force are used to fighting battles against seemingly impossible odds. All the technology they have access to was reverse-engineered from alien technology that was captured in battle. As such, the TDF marines' skill in shipboard combat is second only to their skill in ground combat.
Forces in EGS are currently:
- 8 Constitution Class frigates
- 2 Revenge Class battleships
- 1 Oriskany Class carrier
- 1 Stealth Ship.
These forces were originally split between the EGS and CRfH universes, but are now fully deployed to defend EGS. Both Revenge battleships and the Oriskany are currently involved in the offense against the Head Alien's fleet of captured FLEET and board Fanworks battleships.
Constitution Class
The Constitution Class Frigate makes up the backbone of Jstone's fleet. It is moderately armed and armored, and has a good number of ground troops and air craft.
- Armor: -Classified-
- Armament: 9 heavy railguns. 14 light railguns. One centerline particle-beam cannon. Multiple point-defense cannon and missile batteries.
- Sublight: 2 high-output fusion engines. Max sublight speed: -Classified- (will not reach maximum speed under normal conditions)
- Superlight: spacefold drive. maximum fold distance: -Classified-
- Ground Troops: 150 infantry, 100 unmanned combat ground vehicles.
- Air Vehicles: 30 manned fighers, 52 unmanned fighers, 20 unmanned support craft.
Revenge Class
The Revenge Class Battleship is the brawn of Jstone's fleet. The armor and armament dwarf that of the Constitution Class Frigate.
- Armor: -Classified-
- Armament: 12 high-output particle-beam cannons. 6 Heavy Railguns. Multiple Missile tubes and point-defense weapons.
- Sublight: 3 ultra-high-output fusion engines. Maximum sublight speed 0.60C. (will not reach maximum speed in normal conditions)
- Superlight: spacefold drive. maximum fold distance: -Classified-
- Ground Troops: 200 infantry, 250 unmanned combat ground vehicles.
- Air Vehicles: 30 manned fighters, 100 unmanned fighers, 30 unmanned support craft.
Oriskany Class
The Oriskany Class Carrier is used to carry any craft that does not have it's own jump drive. These include landing craft, air combat craft, and other intra-system vehicles. There is a large artificial-gravity deck on the upper portion that functions as a dry-dock for repairs.
- Armor: -Classified-
- Armament: multiple point-defense batteries.
- Sublight: 3 high-output fusion engines. Maximum sublight 0.60C (will not reach maximum speed under normal conditions)
- Superlight: spacefold drive. maximum fold distance: -Classified-
- Ground Troops: variable. depends on craft carried.
- Air Vehicles: variable. depends on craft carried.
Stealth Ship
The stealth-ship is used in much the same way that the German U-Boats were used: surveillance and anti-commerce. The ship is covered in radar-absorbing materials, and has zero EM emissions when "running silent." The stealth ship can be covered in a meta-material cloak to make it completely invisible in the entire EM spectrum (including light.) When the cloak is deployed, the stealth ship uses a periscope that protrudes from the cloak for navigation and target acquisition. The periscope can be retracted if necessary, in which case the ship will function on inertial guidance. TDF scientists are currently working on a method to "submerge" the ship in subspace. Such an ability would make the ship nearly undetectable until it "surfaces" to perform an attack.

Ground Forces
Ground forces are organized into 5 person teams. Each team has four light infantry and one heavy infantry. Light infantry are equipped with a skin-suit - skin-tight armor with similar appearance to a wet-suit which augments strength and speed, provides advanced sensors and comm gear, protects against most small-arms fire, and can even protect its wearer from the vacuum of space. The heavy infantry wears a heavy exoskeleton in addition to the skin-suit. The heavy exoskeleton augments strength even more, provides even better protection, and is fitted with powerful armament, including .50cal machine guns, rockets, and a 20mm chain-gun.
