Due to the recent avaliblity of construction yards and production facilities in space the cost for space bases ships has been reduced to unbelievable levels. Scellia is now able to offer an array of space based ships and systems at cost only a fraction of what was previously thought, however not all systems will be for sale immediately. Also the station is only now getting underway, so no item can be sold until 3/24/04 RL time, and the limited size of the shipyard mean that only so much can be processed at one time. Advance orders are being accepted now.


The Technology

Aerospike Engines (http://www.boeing.com/defense-space/space/propul/XRS2200.html): An advanced system that burns standard fuels, but in a much more controlled and powerful way then other rocker engines.

Ion Engines (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2003/11/031121072826.htm): The Ion engine is a long lasting but relatively low thrust engine for long trips. The Scellian version mounts several ionization acceleration grids making the engine much longer but more powerful. Also the Scellian design accelerates more particals at once, reducing fuel effiency but increasing acceleration.

Mk 1 Missile Tube: Can fire the SM-1 Missile. 10 RPM, basic electromegnetic launch system to supplement the missiles engine.

SHEL/THEL: The Strategic High Energy Laser and Tactical High Energy Laser. The THEL was developed for ground use on low flying target, the SHEL was meant to be reactor fed high powered laser meant to shoot down missiles is flight. Has a range of 100 km in space, not meant ofr atmospheric work.

BPXL Warheads: BPXL stands for Bomb Pumped X-ray Laser, The BPXL warhead fires a pourcupine shapes ball of BPLX's out after detonation, hitting many objects around the warhead and going significant damage. Excellent for targeting fast moving or numerous targets.

Armor: A blended titanium alloy skin with light weight advanced ceramic armor underneath, making a fairly light very strong and expenisve armor.

The Sc-1 is the basic all purpose space station. It can fire conventional and nuclear weapons as well as defend against an all out nuclear strike by another nation. Easily supplied by the satellite cannons and nearly impossible to shoot down with none nuclear munitions due to laser based PD systems.

The Sc-2 is a space based command center, ready to coordinate a war anywhere in the world at a moments notice. Several of these can run an entire nation defenses from space, and defend that same nation attack by ICBM's. It is meant to supplement a cohesive network of Sc-1 Battlestations in defending a nation. A significantly larger fuel tank allows for the refilling of spacecraft without possibly limiting the abilities of the Sc-2.


Spacecraft


Frigate-class Starfighter

http://www.kkinteractive.com/webgraphics/spacecraft.jpg


Length: 10m

Width: 4m

Height: 3m

Armor: 10cm

1 forward SHEL turret
-30 degree firing cone

Crew: 3

Cost: $10,000,000,000

The Frigate-class is a space fighter meant for interception of ICBM's and close fighting with larger ships, not much punch but the SHEL added to the extreme manuverablility means that this ship can hunt down ICBM's with easy. A fleet of these can give you almost 100% ICBM defense.


Destroyer-class Warship

The Carrier is the largest of the warships, and possibly the longest ranged. The Frigate allow the Carrier to stay out of range of the longest reaching weapons will continue to deliver the defense and offence. The Carrier is mostly hollow on the inside to accomadate the Frigates making most the its size empty compared the packed nature of the rest of the ships.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING

1. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone with no explaination given.
2. No nuclear weapons come with these ships or missiles, all must be provided by the buyer, however the cost of the missile/ship includes arming it with nuclear weapons if the buyer has them.
3. YOU must calculate your order, I won't.
4. All ships have bunkerage for missiles, but you must buy them seperately.
5. Construction doesn't start until March 24 RL time, but orders can be placed now.
6.Space on the shipyards are limited, so it is first come first serve.
