Info on various universes
Could experts provide me with specs from the Dahakverse, and the 4th and 5th Imperium ?
Dahakverse is name given to the universe of books "Mutineer's Moon", "The Armageddon Inheritance", & "Heirs of Empire".
Dahak is a planetiod, and has is 3200 kilometers in diameter . It has multi-dimensional shields which extend some distance from the actual hull, and will presumable get killed by a supernova when it is a few lightminutes from the star.
And Dahak's warranty didn't run out after 51 thousand years.
Dahak has ~130 fusion reactors & a Core Tap. A Core Tap is a device which draws energy from a highly energetic parrallel universe were the ambient temperature of empty space can completely vaporise a moon practically instantly. A runaway reaction from a Core Tap biuld on Earth in Antactica would, if the control systems failed, completely vaporise all of Antactica & a large chunk of the surrounding ocean.
Calcs for a planetiod's durability is ~2 TeraTons to kill the shields(lowend) & another 2.5 teratons to kill the actual planetiod(scaled from) Taken from Just how bad is Weber's math?
Dahak has 3 types of drives systems, 2 are FTL.
For STL, a completely inertless STL drive System is used. Capible of 0.6c, any higher and the entire planetiod will disintegrate.
1st Form of FTL is the echanach drive. At a 'slow' 800C, a planetiod is out raced by even startrek. However this drive system is in realspace, and thus has increadible tactical uses.
There is hyperdrive, which can only entre & leave a fixed points. ~3000C, and cant be activated with in ~10 lightminutes of a star gravtational well.
As for weapons:
Hypermissiles, point-to-point missiles which are FTL. Can carry various payloads. Antimatter or gravametric. A gravemetric warhead, momentarily generates a event horizen with a radius of ~20km before disappearing for our universe. The latest version will generate an event horizen with a radius larger than Earth.
STL missiles, similar payload to hypermissiles, but uses an STL drive system rather than a hyper drive.
Hyperbeam - creates a hypertransision field which shunts stuff into hyperspace.
Energy weapons- creates a gravemetric shear which
4ThI version-shatters molecular bonds
4ThE version-shatters atomic bonds.
Dahakverse has uber gravity control.
4th Imperium : was ruled by a senate/parliament, went down in civil war
4th Empire : Founded by the Commander of the 4th Imperium's capital world in the civil war who was made Emperor by the remains of the 4th imperiums Senate, killed itself after 13,000 years with a bioweapon.
The 4th Empire colonized more worlds and built larger/more badass ships than the 4th Imperium, and continued advancing/refining the tech the 4th Imperium had.
Plus they were sort of a constitutional monarchy, not a democracy(which the 4th Imperium supposedly was)
The 4ThE was founded after a civil war. And only military personal got Enhancements(allows Joe Blow to bend 1 inch thick steel rods for practice), and the added life span that goes with it. We are told there was never a problem find enought volunteers to join the military.
A planetiod constructed with 4Th Empire civilian grade tech was 25 times(~1,900%) more firepower and could easily win a slug fest with Dahak. That is the civilian version for a 5thE Battle Ship. (The Caption of a planetiod is closer to an Admiral than a true Caption in function)
Also the 4thE biuld a solar shield. Not a planertry shield, but a shield covering a sphere with a radius of 40 lightminutes.
Another impressive statistic is that the 4th Empire had approximately one million planetoids in it's fleet.
With a million planetiods, each with a crew of >250,000 would work out to need more than 250 billion(10^9) people just for to crew the planetiods. That doesnt count support personal, planetry populations, bases, etc.
Ships are controlled by computers, with humans in the high level desision making process. Human interface wiht the computers via- neural interface. No hacker attemptes will work if the computer wouldnt talk to you. Implants are designed to invalidate their control codes if the person undergoes a radical change to their personality.
For ground troops:
Well the grav guns fire rounds, at hypersonic speeds, of explosives denser than Uranium. And fires at full auto with no recoil.
4th Imperium Power armor(4th E is 7,000 years more advanced) is more powerful(defensive and offensive) than the currant day MBT(40 years from now).
Energy guns(really gravitonic disruptors) of the 4th E causes instant fission in the target by shattering atomic bonds. IIRC Lightspeed weapon
4th Imperium(see above) tanks can survive anything short of an almost direct hit by a tac nuke.
Warp grenades send anything within 10 meters of it into hyperspace.
Hyper guns send anything within its field(and only whats in its field) directly into hyperspace. Fires an FTL beam.
As for individual troop power of a 4th Imperium(see above) Military personell:

Because the Echanach drive, creates artificially-generated 'black holes', activating it too close to something is very very bad for that something. The Echanach drive can noticible disrupte planetary orbits, and can even induce a star to go supernova."The Utu-class were designed both for the line of battle and for independent, long-term survey and picket deployment, with core crews of two hundred and fifty thousand. Intended optimum deployment time is twenty-five Terran years, with provision for a sixty percent increase in personnel during that period. Maximum deployment time is virtually unlimited, assuming crew expansion is contained.
"In addition to small, two-seat fighters that may be employed in either attack or defense, Dahak deploys sublight parasite warships massing up to eighty thousand tons. Shipboard weaponry centers around hyper-capable missile batteries backed up by direct-fire energy weapons. Weapon payloads range from chemical warheads through fusion, anti-matter, and gravitonic warheads. Essentially, Commander, this ship could vaporize your planet."
...
"Sublight propulsion," Dahak went on, ignoring the interruption, "relies upon phased gravitonic progression. Your present terminology lacks the referents for an accurate description, but for purposes of visualization, you may consider it a reactionless drive with a maximum attainable velocity of fifty-two-point-four percent that of light. Above that velocity, a vessel of this size would lose phase lock, and be destroyed.
"Unlike previous designs, the Utu-class do not rely upon multi-dimensional drives-what your science fiction writers have dubbed 'hyper drives,' Commander-for faster-than-light travel. Instead, this ship employs the Enchanach Drive. You may envision it as the creation of converging artificially-generated 'black holes,' which force the vessel out of phase with normal space in a series of instantaneous transpositions between coordinates in normal space. Under Enchanach Drive, dwell time in normal space between transpositions is approximately point-seven-five Terran femtoseconds.

Thats as compared to a NASA fit Human."Of course, Captain, if you insist, I will have no choice but to forgo the biotechnic portion of your training. I must respectfully point out, however, that should you thereafter confront one of the mutineers, your opponent will have approximately eight times your strength, three times your reaction speed, and a skeletal muscular structure and circulatory system capable of absorbing on the order of eleven times the damage your own body will accept."

Sensor Ranges & weapons ranges are measured in double digit lightminute. Beam weaponary if probable single digit lighminutes.
48 lightminutes for hypermissiles.
Sensors are FTL/instantatious with a much high range, work by generating a micro-wormhole. They have ECM & ECCM good enough to hide a moon against ~1 million attacking ships while firing.
Personal stealth fields are practically immue to modern sensor tech. Actively using a fold-comm in a stealth field greately increases the chance of detection by their own sensor tech.

You may want to try getting information from Baen's free Library the publisher of Weber's Books as it has the full book Mutineer's Moon. And it is entirely free for download or reading from the net, If you don't believe me, go there: http://www.baen.com/library/dweber.htm
By the way these are posted for free, and by posting this link I don't think I have destroyed any copywrite infringement, check this page for proof. http://www.baen.com/library/
Check it out many books are here and all are free no strings attached.

AAAARRRRGGHHHHHH!!! Who the fuck were those people on the "just how bad is Weber's Math" thread? Did they ever READ the fucking books? How could anyone get so many figures repeatedly wrong.
And if I ever meet the man who claimed Steve White improved Weber's writing, I'm going to give him a Tiger Balm/Ground Glass enema. I've read the crap he writes on his own, and I still want to vomit years after the fact.

They're the idiot contigent of Spacebattles.com so it doesn't suprise me they got stuff wrong. I rarely even bother with the versus debates over there, too many idiots and too little actual itelligence.consequences wrote:AAAARRRRGGHHHHHH!!!
