My crappy sci-fi fighter

Post by Crossover_Maniac »

Rutyte fighter:

Discription: The Rutyte fighter is the backbone of the M'Tari's space fleet. Unlike most races who use capital ships as their main force and fighters as their support, the M' Tari rely entirely on fighters for their fleet and capital ships as support (the capital ships used are either factory ships, medical frigates, mobile bases). The fighters are 140 feet (42 meters) long and has a mass of 1210 tons (1100 metric tons). The fighter has three large claw-like nacelles in the front of the ship, three smaller ones in the front fitting between the spaces of the main nacelles, and six nacelles in the back that are the same size as the small front nacelles aranged in two sets of three in the same manner as the front nacelles surrounded by two rings with four additional rings extending outward each ring larger than the other with the smallest as the first ring from the ship and the largest at the very end. The nacelles are used as magnetic field generators providing the intense magnetic fields (1E18 to 1E20 Teslas) necessary to open wormholes. Most of the power for the ship's weapons and propulsion is not found on the ship, but is provided at anti-proton depots (although each ship carries 15 metric tons of anti-protons in magnetic storage tanks). Anti-proton depots are ringworlds in orbit around various millions of black holes and neutron stars throughout the universe to provide the necessary power to generate protons and anti-protons, each one providing power for several hundred thousand Rutyte fighters. The large nacelles in front are used to create a wormhole for the ship to travel to any point in the universe instantaneously while the small front nacelle is used as the ship's main weapon. A wormhole is generated in front of the small nacelle while the larger nacelle used its magnetic field to accelerate spheres of frozen anti-protons at relativistic speeds. The maximum power of the main weapon is 3E21 watts. In case the ship's anti-proton depot is for some reason unable to provide power to the ship, the ships maintain contact with three other depots to draw power from through quantum entanglement between the ship and its power port. The rear nacelles are used to form wormholes for supplying protons and anti-protons for propulsion. The rings act as a magnetic nozzle directing the exhaust. The maximum acceleration for the ship is 2000 g's. Because the M' Tari lack inertia dampening technology, the cockpit is submerged in a oxygenated liquid to nullify the effects of the high acceleration. The M'Tari also lack FTL communications and sensors. However, they can open microscopic wormholes and send laser beams through it for communications and use insect-size probes for near real-time sensor readings. Each ships contains small living quarters for the pilot and enough supplies for several months. The defensive countermeasures for the Rutyte fighters consist of a plasma shield for energy weapons. The shield is not very effective against high speed protectiles. The defenses against those are a combination of interceptor missiles, gamma ray lasers, and active jamming.

I forgot to mention there are 900 million Rutyte fighters in service during peace time though there are automated factories kept ready to mass produce more Rutyte fighters and anti-proton depots if the M' Tari ever goes to war.
