Space Defence Notes

  • GSSToD: It's best used offensively or as a giant shield or medical bay. It has a large variety of weapons focused mainly around Kwaktonium-743, which is a radioactive isotope with an incredibly short half-life, for making a big boom without poisoning the environment for many years afterwards. It also has laser guns and a small number of deployable fighters. However, it's an obsolete piece of junk which is only prevented from falling apart by the fact that I'm rather fond of it and don't want to destroy it. Sheer dumb luck can only stretch so far, and it's best used with caution.
  • Constitution Class Frigates: The ships that have been left behind are all constitution class frigates. They're not the most heavily-armed ship up there, but they're good enough. They have a single particle beam for long-range engagements, and a number of railguns for orbital bombardment and close-range ship-to-ship combat. They'll have fewer troops and air/space fighters aboard, they've been transferred to the Oriskany to aid in recapturing those Fanworks battleships.

infosheet:


Constitution Class Frigate -----

Armor: 2300mm, Titanium metal matrix composite reinforced with carbon nanotubes. Can be ionized to help repel plasma/energy charges

Maximum sublight speed: .7C (will never really reach that speed; engine power is used for acceleration, not speed. The fold-drive is used for long-range travel.)

Superlight: Spacefold (wormhole) drive - maximum fold distance: 700 light-years "blind" 1800Ly w/subspace beacon. Time to complete: 12 minutes "blind," 3 minutes w/subspace beacon.

Armament: Centerline Particle Beam Cannon, Output: Variable. 2 to 10TJ in a one-second burst. Can be fired in a constant beam at expense of propulsion energy (engines must be slowed/stopped, depending on beam output) Nine heavy railguns (12-ton projectile,) Fourteen Light railguns (5-ton projectile) - Projectile Velocity: 35,763 meters/second fired from stationary ship. 60 multi-purpose missile tubes.

Maximum Complement: 150 ground troops (30 teams, 5 soldiers/team: 1 team leader, 3 light infantry, 1 heavy infantry.) 100 unmanned combat ground robots. 35 manned air/space fighters, 52 unmanned air/space fighters. 20 unmanned support craft (16 multi-role ECM/AWACS/etc, 4 tankers.)

Description: From the top, the Constitution class looks remarkably similar to an Iowa Class Fast-Battleship, except that the front-most and rearmost large turrets only have two guns instead of three. The other two guns are located on the bottom of the ship. There are four light-railgun turrets situated to port and starboard of the bridge on the topside (two per side and two guns per turret), and three on the bottom-side (one astern, one to port, and one to starboard, making a triangle formation around the heavy railgun (they are sunk in so the heavy turret can traverse 360 degrees) The bow has a large opening in it for the Particle cannon, and slopes to a near-point. The bottom is relatively flat, except for the ventral turrets. At the rear, the three large fusion-torch engines are situated. The port and starboard engines protrude past the top-deck. There are two catapult openings on either side of the hull, one facing forward at the bow, the other facing rearward at the stern. Jets are recovered on the launch ramps (guided in by computers.)

  • HoJ: There you go. That's the wiki entry on the Ho'J. Single most powerful spacecraft in Mayhem, or it was until I left, anyway. It's designed to be a space STATION, though, it's not very highly mobile. Computer prefers to use combat droids and remotely-operated fighterships (each armed with energy weapons) and to support them with massive clouds of remote-operated missiles. The railguns are generally saved for orbit-to-ground assaults, where they can be more accurately aimed, but if he's up against a big enough enemy Computer'll throw a few asteroids at it. Sometimes the asteroids have a high uranium content, sometimes they don't.

It has really effective antimagic defenses and a powerful teleportation array, but not much in the way of a magical offense.
