[STGOD] New OOB Thread

[Thirdfain]

I figure we can use basic logic, rather than adding and subtracting numbers- For instance, my vessels can intercept and avoid maybe 90% of incoming fire, but one or two railgun rounds will cripple them. Heavy laser armamment would be relatively innefective at long ranges against my vessels, but massed, volley fire or area-of effect nukes would be quite nasty.

[Alyrium Denryle]

I tried to keep the individual weapons about on par withDS9 tech. Granted the numbers of weapons on y ships is large...but we are not usng ST weapon densities now are we?

[The Yosemite Bear]

Roughly 20 or so major space faring Packs, although each vessel is actually considered property of it's own pack/family, but pack families are grouped into larger pack/clans etc.

Break Down:

Fenris:
Primary industrial power for the Femari, 1proximatly 1/3 of the Fenari 300 ship fleet is based out of Fenris
or 80 Drakkar Class Vessels presently converted to Merchant Marine use, with 1 x2 Fusion turret (each beam rated at 40mt/second), 2 Missile launchers, and 4 point defense weapons. each Drakkar has a 600kt displacement Most Fenris marine vessels are "Ore Harvesters" and are equipped with armed "Mining Pods"

20 Destroyers: each destroyer has over under Fusion Laser & Lineriar acclerator mounts. and 6 point defense turrets, the destroyers spinal mounts are only rated at 30mt/shot, while the point defense weapons are designed for killing missiles and Kzin fighters.

Hectae:
Primary food & economic trade planet of the Fenari.
50 Drakkars: presently all Merchant Marine deployment


Daemonhiem:
Captured from the
100 Drakkars
50 Destroyers
of the Drakkars
25 Drakkars are Merchant
25 Are "Missile Boats" 200 kt of missile pods stored for launch
10 are Anti fighter (Prox missiles, and large spaces set aside for automated and implant linked point defense mounts)
30 are full out Fenari "Battle Cruiser Q-ships) with full marine capacity.
6 "beam turrets", and 4 Missile launcher points
5 Marine/mine tender ships, eqiuped like Fenris "Ore Haullers" these vessels are trained in boarding combat, have additional Wormhole booths, and the mining "Pods" are equiped for boarding/capture/disabling vessels.

Daemonhiem is heavily terraformed to Kzin specifications, but it is a perminate Fenari military base, and Fenari "enjoy" hunting in the forests below.

Even for a minor power, I think I seriously weakened myself with my original ORBAT...

[Thirdfain]

General Rules

1.Technology level matches that of Star Trek DS9. This does not mean you must use Star Trek technology, only that your capabilities be similar.

2.You need not be human.

3.Fleet size is limited to 400 major combatants, exclusive of fleet train.

(emphasis added)

This is what I based my fleet size on. My fleet contains many fewer vessels than it could have, and is well within the range allowed by this STGOD.

[Alyrium Denryle]

My shps are fast moving, heavily armed attack ships....well at least the frigates. They use heavy energy shielding, and count on avoiding, or destroying incoming projectiles...the only form of shielding against projectiles we have is our tractor beams and gravitic shields...And weak particle shielding...uses gravitic drives

We use an ECM system that projects a moving sensor ghost that is larger tha our ships...hell on tracking systems...with our point defense weapons destroying projectiles and missiles

Our cruisers..well they are heavily armored, use both heavy energy, and particle shielding...and are slooooowwwwww. they use ion drives to save on energy..so they can have strong particle shields

Well our fighters are fast, manuverable, and shielded attack craft...that emply gravticdrives...capable of rapid acceleration, and can turn on a dime(literally)

[SirNitram]

The Lost fight like thugs, what can I say? They drop cloak and hit you hard, because they can't withstand much.

[Alyrium Denryle]

Good thing is...our defense grids and shielding is always up...

Military Forces of the Pan-Slavic Republic

General
With the collapse of the royalist aristocracy and its subsequent flight from the territories of the PSR, the military has been subjected to sweeping reforms. In order to replace an almost totally depleted officer corps, it has become a total meritocracy; it is theoretically possible for a street urchin to join the navy and eventually rise to Space Marshal. It should come as no surprise, then, that both branches of the military have a surplus of geniuses.

In addition, the Pan-Slavic Military boasts an iron-clad espirit de corps. Each soldier is dedicated to the Slavic nation and the spread of revolutionary ideals throughout the galaxy. Combining this powerful motivation with the legendary endurance of the Slavic soldier has produced a fighting man who is nearly unstoppable.

The Grand Army of the Republic

Infantry
body armor
The soldier is first encased in a black body suit, which is temperature controlled to maintain comfortable conditions for the soldier, and is capable of stopping low-velocity KE rounds. Onto this are mounted ceramic/metal plates, which are highly resistant to projectile and energy weapons. With the helmet, the effect is eerily similar to soldiers in the 20th century film representations of "Star Wars." The entire assembly can be sealed at a moment's notice for protection against NBC weapons, and can be fed by a filter or a contained oxygen supply. The armor system is lightweight, flexible, and nearly impregnable.

The helmet features sensory enhancements, with targetting HUD, magnification, thermal and infrared modes, and auditory capabilities.

The combination of all these factors tends to allow even minimally trained conscripts a substantial degree of effectiveness.

The armor can often rescue them from foolish mistakes, and the HUD makes combat a much more simple exercise of placing the crosshairs over the thermal blob.

Weaponry
Soldiers are typically equipped with a pulse xaser rifle, which applies considerable firepower for it's size. As an added benefit, the design is nearly bereft of moving parts and is almost impervious to mundane damage. Each soldier also carries an anti-tank rocket launcher, which is highly effective at ranges less than 200 yards, but almost useless beyond that.

The army also has access to a bewildering array of miscellaneous man-portable ordinance. In the interests of logistical simplicity, all energy weapons can be fed from eachother's batteries.

Artillery
The artillery consists mainly of railguns with variable range settings, allowing most pieces the option to fire at a variety of ranges.

Armor
Armored vehicles serve a key purpose in the army, as it's anchor and striking arm. They typically use jacketed plasma cannons for armor-piercing work and pulse-xasers for anti-personnel fire. All vehicles can be mounted with modular ATGM racks.

Hammer Main Battle Tank:
Heavily armored vehicle, with a large plasma cannon and several pulse xasers. Excellent targetting systems.

Orb Light Tank:
Lightly armored but very fast scout tank. Armed with a mid-bore railgun and a pulse xaser. Superior sensors.

Victor IFV:
Medium armor, with several pulse xasers, an automatic 30mm railgun which can target aircraft and ground targets. Carries up

to 10 soldiers.

Miscellaneous Armor:
Includes SPAAA, APC, and powered armor suits.

Army OOB

About 50 active corps and 70 "cadre" corps (units with all equipment maintained and ready, but soldiers either yet to be conscripted or on reserve status).

Republican Navy

The Republican Navy is short on ships, but long on expertise and manpower. Admirals and Captains can be expected to perform efficiently, if not ingeniously, in battle. In order to make up for it's relative disadvantages, the fleet depends on a smaller number of highly effective ships.

The Armed Forces of the Kokand Empire

Weapons types and yields

Missiles

MT-775 The MT-775 is the most common missile system in the Imperial Starfleet of the Kokand Empire. While all variants share a common space frame, booster and seeker the warheads vary wildly. Fired from Mr-80 launchers.

MT-775A: Yield 30 megaton, standard fusion armed anti ship weapon making up the majority of all weapons carried
MT-775B: Yield 20 megaton, anti matter anti armor weapon. Used once hostile shields have been dropped, the missile uses a shaped charge to breach the hull before propelling an anti matter capsule inside.
MT-775C: Yield 20 megaton, Bomb-pumped X-Ray Laser warhead.
MT-775D: Yield 30 small 500-kiloton missiles; this missile unleashes a hail of smaller missiles to engage fighter craft and missiles.
MT-775F: Yield biochemical cluster payload, this missile carries a payload of biological or chemical agents to the target.
MT-775G: Decoy/Jammer drone.

MT-800 The MT-800 is a heavier missile system then the MT-775 and utilizes the Mr-90 launcher.

MT-800A: Yield 40 megaton, standard fusion armed anti ship weapon making up the majority of all weapons carried
MT-800B: Yield 30 megatons, anti matter anti armor weapon. Used once hostile shields have been dropped, the missile uses a shaped charge to breach the hull before propelling an anti matter capsule inside.
MT-800C: Yield 35 megaton, Bomb-pumped X-Ray Laser warhead.
MT-800D: Yield 50 small 500-kiloton missiles; this missile unleashes a hail of smaller missiles to engage fighter craft and missiles.
MT-800F: Yield biochemical cluster payload, this missile carries a payload of biological or chemical agents to the target.
MT-800G: Decoy/Jammer drone.

MT-750 The MT-750 is the lightest of the major missile systems and is fired from the compact Mr-75 launcher.

MT-750A: Yield 20 megaton, standard fusion armed anti ship weapon making up the majority of all weapons carried
MT-750B: Yield 15 megaton, anti matter anti armor weapon. Used once hostile shields have been dropped, the missile uses a shaped charge to breach the hull before propelling an anti matter capsule inside.
MT-750C: Yield 20 megaton, Bomb-pumped X-Ray Laser warhead.
MT-750D: Yield 20 small 500-kiloton missiles; this missile unleashes a hail of smaller missiles to engage fighter craft and missiles.
MT-750F: Yield biochemical cluster payload, this missile carries a payload of biological or chemical agents to the target.
MT-750G: Decoy/Jammer drone.

HyStrike, High Yield Strike System

The HyStrike missile family includes four missiles. Two, HyStrike I and HyStrike II are operational. HyStrike III is entering finnal testing while the HyStrike VI is beginning aerodynamics testing with an inert warhead. The HyStrike missiles are designed to defeat the toughest of buried hardened targets. Launch from mobile ground units or Mr-90 launchers, the HyStrike rapidly accelerates to high hypersonic speeds before diving onto its target from space or extreme atmospheric altitude. After impact a second burrowing motor fires and drives the weapon hundreds of meters down. The warhead then detonates for maximum effect against subterranean targets. The missiles speed, short time of flight and advanced casing material makes it difficult to shoot down with tactical air defenses. HyStrike cannot engage orbital or ship targets.

HyStrike I incorporates a 175 megaton warhead, HyStrike II 250 megatons, HyStrike III 400 megatons and the HyStrike IV 775 megatons.

Neutrally charged particle beam weapons The primary beam weapons of the Imperial Starfleet.

Very heavy cannon yield: 600 megatons
Heavy cannon yield: 300 megatons
Medium cannon yield: 200 megatons

X-ray solid-state lasers Primarily used for point defence, these weapons also arm combat drones. The lasers are pulsed for maximum firepower.

Medium laser yield: variable based on pulse rate
Light laser yield: variable based on pulse rate

The Imperial Starfleet also employs 150 megaton anti shipping mines and has a range of low yield anti surface missiles and bombs, which are simply dropped from orbit.

The Imperial Starfleet order of battle

Hyperspace capable combat vessels

19 x Black Forest class capital ships

The Black Forest's make up the main strength of the Imperial Starfleet. The Starfleet feels that only such massive vessels can hope to stand and fight in open combat, though a side effect is poor acceleration and an energy signature that cannot be fully cloaked. When accompanied by a moderate escort of corvettes these vessels can overwhelm almost any other combatant known.

Other vessels and space installations

Many other armed platforms and stations exist, indeed there are almost no space installations that are not armed in some way. But these armaments are primarily light weapons designed for direct defense against missiles and fighter craft, with perhaps a pair of particle beam cannons to deal with pirates.

The Kokand Empire has a considerable fleet train of some nine hundred vessels and 80 heavy planetary assault vessels, each capable of transporting a division with its share of corps and army assets and supplies. All these vessels are lightly armed.

The Empire also has thousands of unmanned drones to provide direct defense of planets and installations.

The space combat drones of the Empire are generally armed with a pair of laser cannons, and two hard points for a pair of anti ship missiles or several smaller missiles to deal with fighters. Shield systems are fitted to many models. Recon drones are unshielded and incorporate a pair of lasers for armament, but of power only sufficient to deal with missiles. A single hard point can carry an anti ship weapon or several anti fighter weapons. Each drone however has an excellent sensor and communications suit to extend the sight range of its mother craft and the fleet.


The Army of the Kokand Empire

The troops of the empire are primarily long-term professionals. They are universally issued with hybrid NBC and full armored suits, incorporating climate control and biomedical monitoring equipment, in addition to a secure communications and battle management system with displays within the helmet faceplate. Every suit is equipped with passive infrared equipment, and many now sport high-resolution radar systems to penetrate smoke and bad weather.

Each infantryman is issued with a small particle beam weapon/grenade launcher combination, though light support cannons, multi barrel grenade launchers and other fire support weapons are found at the fire team level and above.

The artillery forces make heavy use of railguns tube artillery firing a full range of shells, however rocket and missile artillery still remains in widespread usage. A number of special unit and artillery division now operate heavy particle beam weaponry to crack hard targets.

The air defense forces primarily employ mobile laser systems. Capable of downing fighters one moment, before plucking scores of artillery shells from the sky the next and then turning on advancing infantry the systems are highly versatile. However for over the horizon work a Varity of missile systems still exist. Gun based systems also exist, employing bursting and kinetic rounds at hyper velocities, of generally 25-57mm caliber. But there limited effectiveness against supersonic targets keep numbers low

The armored forces use several forms of heavy and light tanks, along with various APC and MICV types. The tanks are generally armed with a particle beam weapon and lighter railguns, along with missiles and at least one point defense laser. The infantry carriers often only have a laser and railguns. Sensors include passive infrared, LADAR, near picture quality radar and other sensor systems. All vehicles are linked through a highly advanced battle management system.

National Guard of the Kokand Empire

The National Guard is a diverse organization that include police, intelligence, conventional armed troops, investigation and many other personal who are primarily responsible for internal security work within the Empire but who often are called on to service in direct support of the armed forces other branches. There numbers reach into the millions but are difficult to accurately count. The National Guard operate a number of small sublight patrol craft of police and customs work. Several hyperspace haulers for these exist in the fleet train.

Good thing is...our defense grids and shielding is always up...

Looks like you'll be refueling rather often and doing extensive maintenance on your defense grids and shield arrays.

[phongn]

OOC: Phong, if people have unbalanced fleets, is it alright if my fighters beat their heavies unmercifully?

Yes. No screen means easy prey, no matter how many ILMS/PDMS and CIWS they've shoved on the things.

[Thirdfain]

Yes. No screen means easy prey, no matter how many ILMS/PDMS and CIWS they've shoved on the things.

Erm, uh, no screen means easy prey? Not a single Floater warship mounts any type of shielding system... And floater vessels are not "easy prey."

[Alyrium Denryle]

Well yes, but then again, in our own terrtory, our ships are near a base constantly...paranoid cuture...we keep the defense grid on standby...they are just like any other weapon system, but the gunports are almost always open...

We have also taken the partial use of shields into accont with energy production...and our ships produce their own antimatter for the power core.

He's not talking about shielding.He means escorts. Though without shields you will be easy prey, some stuff simply can't be protected and a proxmity hit is going to do heavy damage to exposed systems.

[Raxmei]

I think he meant fighter screens, which the floaters have in spades.

My friend...I think he means fighter screen.

You have fighters, do you not? That's your screen. Other powers (like mine) use escort ships. I'm referring to certain top-heavy fleets with hordes of battleships.

[Thirdfain]

Oh, yeah! erm, sorry, misunderstanding. Yes, floaters do use a combination of fighters and lancers (small vessels with 5-10 man crews, think Millenium Falcon) as a screen.

[phongn]

Well yes, but then again, in our own terrtory, our ships are near a base constantly...paranoid cuture...we keep the defense grid on standby...they are just like any other weapon system, but the gunports are almost always open...

Well, if you're going to be like Italy that's fine. (Not the paranoia, but the increased maintenance in exchange for being near a port).

We have also taken the partial use of shields into accont with energy production...and our ships produce their own antimatter for the power core.

::blink::

You do realise that AM production is net energy loss? You'll have to increase your refueling if you make that stuff!

[Pablo Sanchez]

Erm, uh, no screen means easy prey? Not a single Floater warship mounts any type of shielding system... And floater vessels are not "easy prey."

He didn't mean shields, he meant screening warships, pretty much cruisers and below. Battleships carry the larger part of the damage to the enemy, but it's difficult for them to defend themselves against multiple smaller combatants.

let me check my notes...Ah hell, small wonder...well that does solve the range problem...Stupid oversight...thank you. Note to engineers...WHAT WHERE YOU THINKING!?

Well, from the aspect of survivability, producing AM as needed on ship makes sense, deuterium won't explode if the storage tank breaks. However AM is far more compact, and with the net lose I doubt its practical for any warship to use such a system unless its some tin clad designed by the ghost of Fisher.

In particular they have trouble against fightercraft. Destroyers, cruisers? No problem, smack them with a big gun or lots of smaller ones, they can't really hurt you anyways. Fighters? Too many targets to engage at once, especially if they pack missiles.

You need a dedicated screen to engage them and attrit before they break through to the heavies.
