House Navy/ Imperial Guard/ Cohorts- The Imperial Guard is the oldest military force still in existence. The end of the Decade War saw the planet of Eurydice united for the first time under the leadership of a single ruler. After the war an elite military force was created to keep the emperor safe. For over two thousand years the Imperial Guard has protected the emperor from harm and guarded him during times of war. With the formation of the Eurydian Republic three hundred years previous, the duties of the Imperial Guard have changed. No longer just protecting the Emperor, the Guard must now police the entirety of Eurydice, as well as the first colony world to ever be settled by Eurydians, Conconi.

The formal duties of protecting the emperor has now fallen to an elite force within the Imperial Guard. Known as the Cohorts, these brave men and women protect the emperor at all times, never letting him out of their sight.

The Great Houses field a space force of their own. Each of the thirteen Great Houses commands a small (or in rare cases large) group of ships for the express purpose of protecting their assets. On occasion one House may attack another and brief conflicts have been recorded throughout the Republic's history, overall the Great Houses work together.

waaaaaaay underpriced.

The first should be about 50 Billion at least, and the second should be about 100 billion, and the third 2-3 trillion.

All this, despite the question of how you could afford it.

Also, your pics are way too effing dark.

Excuse me? I made these ships over 300 years ago. At the time the cost was greater than it is now... but considering in 300 years I could streamline production of vastly outdated technology by my standards, it costs nothing more than 2 billion dollars to build... so on.

Second... how can I afford it? Well... I suppose I could answer that with a simple... I just can. I've built things vastly superior to these waships and have never been questioned before. Not to mention I've had a "frightening" economy for over 5 months. Not to mention I've established colonies and trade routes with countless nations. Not to mention I've colonized countless moons and mine the ore from them. There are countless other reasons why I can afford it.

third... I'm sorry... but I didn't make them. It kinda pisses me off too that they're so dark.

Oops, sorry. I'm an idiot, I thought just because of your insane pricing you must have been an Oct. nation lol sorry man. The reason i thought it was low was because you can not make a super star destroyer sized ship at the price of an aircraft carrier, no matter how advanced you are lol

As a way of apologizing, here:

Replace your image links with these

Well... It's no problem, an honest mistake.

Thanks for the brighter pictures as well. I'll finally know what those ships actually look like. :P

yeah... they look like circuitboard with guns lol where are they from?

I got if from this website. Most of his stuff isn't what I like... but these two ships seemed to capture what I thought would make a good 1st generation warship.
