Under the agreement by the two countries, Thrashia would reseave all assets left behind by Parlim when it left on its great exodus. After taking control of the Moon Base and its ship yards, Thrashian shock troopers found the remains of a fleet left and fogoten by Parlim, but still docked on the moon to its moon base.

Emperor Shadaum IV reveiwd the list of ships and their details that Admiral Veer had sent in his report.


-"My Lord, the Parlimarians left a large fleet of warships behind. I have already ordered our own pilots and men to take control of them and we already now have them to complement our 4 Shadaum-class Cruisers. The list below will show you my Lord the number of ships and their type."-

'Hive' Class Super-Carrier (http://www.primscrwpro.com/myu34.jpg)

This ship is the first of it's kind, and it is gigantic. The government of Parlim still hasn't released where this was built, but it wasn't on the moon base. This ship is several kilometers long, and, if moved into the right position, can eclipse an entire planet. It caries a huge compliment of fighters, bombers, and transports.

Crew: 3500 + 1500 Pilots + 750 Marines
Defense: 144" Inch thick 'Adaptive Armor', multi-layer heavy sheilds.
Weapons: 16 Super-Heavy Laser Cannons, Numerous Anti-Fighter Cannons
Powerplant Classified (?)
Other: 1000 1 Man Fighters (Wasps), 250 2-Man Bombers (Orcas), Assorted Transports and Shuttles


-"Sire, as you now see we have a large complement of new ships. Our engineers are telling me that we can use most of these ships materials in the construction of more Shadaum-class Cruisers. I have decided to keep 10 Warthogs, all of the Prowlers, and the Hive ship for which our head weapons scientist Buack says that it can be used to construct Maxims last ship design for an Utlimate Cruiser, the Sovereign-Class Battle Command Cruiser; as well as enough left over material for two more Shadaums. However we have yet to decide that. However all the Turtles will be used for construction of 10 new SHadaums bringing once conplete our fleet of them to 23 Shadaums, not counting the 4 ones we have built sire. The Prowlers I see being a valuable asset for future use with their heavy lasers. Already our engineers are replacing them with our even mroe powerful Ion cannons to replace the ones on the ships. I will await your orders and your judgement of my choices my lord Emperor."-

The hologram figure disapeared. Octavian clapped his hands. What a find! he thought. Parlim has left us a fleet! And we no longer have to drain our own resources for a while with the use of these ships materials!

"Guard! Take a message to the comm officer, tell him he is to tell Admiral Veers to continue as he has told me. And tell him to send me the Scematics of this new Sovereign-class Cruiser that he says can be built with the Hive ship. And after that order General Markus to have his men step up prduction of the space fighters he is making in his factories in the mountains. Go!"

The guard left with speed to deliver the Emperors message.

'This is indeed a good day for Thrashia' thought Octavian as he settled back onto his throne and reviewed the hologram once more.

Veers read his orders once again to see that he had got it down right. Already he had the 10 Warthogs converted to his fleets use. And he had about 11 of the 25 Prowlers converted too.

The Admiral sighed. Soon the Emperor would demand his new super capital ship built. And in doing so melt down the Hive ship they had found to use for its construction. Just to crew it Veers had had 2 of Thrashia's tank divisions dismantled and trained for space fighting and piloting. Even with the hidden factories pumping out fighters for his Shadaums and the other 3 hidden Shadaum ship yards he felt it wasn't enough.

He looked at the document that his cheif engineer had given him. It showed the newly out fitted Prowler and Warthog ships, their details and scematics.

What it looks like, Prowler (http://destinova.home.insightbb.com/pirate1.jpg)

*Note of Tactics*
Although smaller than most capital ships, it can be considered a minor one due to its size and armament. Faster than most capital ships these are best used in pairs and can waste away all types of heavy shielding with its 6 Ion Cannon Batteries. While it can take on at least 30 small space fighters at a time, its best quality is to stand toe to toe with capital ships.

WARTHOG-CLASS LIGHT CRUISER

NAME/TYPE: Warthog-class Light Cruiser
DESIGNER/MANUFACTURER: Unknown
COMBAT DESIGNATION: Light Destroyer
LENGTH: 400 meters
CREW: 150; 22 gunners
PASSENGERS: (optional hold of 100 troops)
SPEED RATING: 60 MGLT (hyper space)/ 850 kph (normal s/a)
HYPERDRIVE: x1
HULL RATING: 1120 RU (resistance of damage)
SHIELD RATING: 1500 SBD (resistance of damage)
CONSUMABLES: 2 years supplies
WEAPONS: 4 Maxim Turbo-laser Batteries;
6 Maxim Double Turbo-laser Batteries;
2 Maxim Ion Cannon Batteries;


Warthog looks like this (http://tauniverse.com/forum/attachm...=&postid=364769)

*Note of Tactics*
The Warthog is a good Patrol type ship. Works well in pairs, the ships are best used in battle against minor capital ships and fighters. Its Ion cannons allow it to break through most shields but the ship itself wouldn’t stand up against a capital ship for long.

Veers palmed his access code and called up the scematics on the newest design for the Thrashian flag ship. Veers had to admit it was an awsome sight just on paper, one could hardly imagine what it would look like in space.

*TOP SECRET*
SOVEREIGN-CLASS SUPER CRUISER COMMAND SHIP
NAME/TYPE: Sovereign-class Command Ship
DESIGNER/MANUFACTURER: Jankinus Maxim/Danaila Drive Yards
COMBAT DESIGNATION: Battleship Command Ship
LENGTH: 15,000 meters
CREW: 601,670 crew; 4,375 gunners (crew includes pilots)
PASSENGERS: 130,100 troops
SPEED RATING: 30 MGLT (light years)/ 750 kph real space
HYPERDRIVE: x3
HULL RATING: approximately 47000 Rd (resistance of damage)
SHIELD RATING: approximately 96000 SRD (resistance of damage)
CONSUMABLES: 5 years supplies
WEAPONS: 550 Maxim Heavy Laser Cannons;
550 Maxim quad Turbo laser Batteries;
75 Maxim Ion Cannon Batteries;

STARFIGHTER SQUADRONS: 45 Space Fighter Squadrons (3,375 fighters/ 75 Per Squadron)

PLANETARY ASSAULT TROOPS: 50 Ultima-class battle tanks; 75 scout walkers; 5 Pre-fabricated Garrison Bases

OTHER ONBOARD CRAFT: 35 Victory-Class Imperial Shuttles; 30 Assault Shuttles
When built the craft was dubbed 'The Reaper' by its creator Jankinus Maxim, grandson of the inventor of the Victory-class Cruiser. The ship was so large that it had to be assembled in pieces before complete construction.
The Sovereign-class Cruiser has such powerful shields that most ships, even capital ships have a hard time getting through them that includes getting past the strength of the hull as well. Jankinus had planned on it being the ultimate capital ship, which it is dwarfing the Victory-class Cruiser by 14,100 meters and is so heavily armed that it could variably take on entire fleets. Plus with the fact of it having 3,375 fighters to back it up in space combat there are few ships able to dish out so much power. The Reaper indeed earns its name.

*Engineers Note*
1st stage of construction complete. Once complete, Storing will be initialized until manned by crew at such time the Emperor wishes.


Veers closed the widow and sent the scematics for all the ships to the Emperor. Once more he sighed.'i'm getting to old for this' Veers thought even though he was only 43 which by some standards was still young.

OOC: The pic for the Warthog isn't working, sry. If you want to know swhat the Sovereign looks like you have to go research google and type in the Eclipse, the Sovereign is a smaller version of that ship.
