After hours of hard work and consideration, The Dictatorship of Kamata has officially decided to start construction on the fortress that we will call Delta Fortress. We will station all of our troops and forces at this multi-billion square foot underground military base, and house some of our newest and latest technologies there. Planes will now be launched from 12 huge armoured chutes, using Linear technology (Capable of launching the planes at mach 12). Each of these chutes will have 6 1ft thick plates covering the top, and two covering the walls. The metal used for these will not be disclosed, but I can assure you that it would take weeks to break through. Tanks and infantry wil be brought up another 6 linear chutes by giant elevators. These chutes will obviously bring up the forces a lot slower, since much of our equipment could not handle the stress, and we don't want to break the chute. Another two chutes will be designated for helicopters only.

The base will have many defensive systems, not disclosed of course, and will be able to hold it's own. Allies will be able to use small portions of the base to store their own troops as well.

The cost of the base, $2.7 trillion dollars. The materials are being brought here as we speak via spacecraft from several mining planets.

Enjoy!

(By the way, I was founded april of last year. I just got ressurected, check my stats if you don't believe me)

OOC: Intresting concept. I assume this is future tech? You talk of materials being gathered from mining planets.

OOC: Yup, it's future tech. The linear chutes though, are based on real-life in-development magnetic cannons and such though. It's really fun to build 12v magnetic tubes, lol. I can shoot paperclips!

Our constuction site has just recently reported the completion of the first launch tube. As previously stated, tubes 1-12 are for aircraft launching, 12-18 for vehicular and troop transport, and 19-20 for helicopter landing pads.

The testing of the first tube is running smoothly, and the locks and release systems on each side of the tube are working perfectly. They're running up the lines at mach 12, and we will run our planes up the tubes at mach 2. Vehicles and infantry will go 100MpH for most of the journey, slowing down to about 10 before the elevator plate stops, and the helicopter tubes will do the same. Each of the tubes will have a moving barrier (In the vehicles and helicopters case, it's the same elevator that they travel on) that can be released from any section of the tube. It can also travel through another shaft on one of the sides of the tubes to the top, then move over to the main tube to drop on anything inside, in case something does get in.

Each tube is equipped with finely tuned detection systems that will alert of any fire, chemical, or other hazardous materials in the tubes. Each tube and corrosponding shaft will also have defense systems hidden in the walls, and the linear magnets can be activated without an elevator, making it impossible for any enemy helicopter or plane to go down any of the shafts, as we can crank the juice back up mach 12, and launch it backwards. The magnets are also powerful enough to disable any non-protected electronic systems nearby.

On a side note, we are looking for nations to help develop safe vehicles and infantry equipment that we can use in the base. We can't exactly afford to build this and the base at the same time.

Launch Chutes 1-10 are now completed and fully operational. We have also finished the entire half of the base that those chutes are on, and are now furnishing it with little goodies like nuclear reactors, c02 scrubbers, and water treatment facilities.

We have also announced the construction of another, 21st and 22nd chutes to allow us to fire off space shuttles using the same technology, but this will allow us to make our shuttles lighter and will save us a lot of fuel when going to into the atmosphere, since it will be launched through most of it's journey up just using the magnetic propulsion, but using a higher power level. Each of these chutes will have it's own nuclear reactor capable of generating 100,000 kilowatts of electricity to power them.

We've also started developing our aircraft and equipment that will be 100% compatible with the base. A little bit of information on the subject, each military personnel and piece of equipment will have a transmitter on it that only protects that piece of equipment from being shot at using our self defense mechanisms. Each military personnel will have a microchip embedded within them that transmits a pulse through their bloodstream, and only theirs (Using advanced recognition technology), and will allow us to identify their location or personal info at any time. This will also protect them from getting shot at. We are going to put up a warning fence with signs about 50km from the base that will tell any non-embedded personnel or civilians to either stay away or to go get a chip embedded within you. Anything within a 25km radius of the base has a potential to get shot, because of the automatic weaponry.

In the main control room, we will have many big electronic diagrams warning us of possible penetration into the base, or any possible chemical weaponry. The base can be fully locked down and on alert in 5 seconds, and the personnel will be locked and loaded within one minute of the alert, this includes night vision goggles, chem-masks, armor, and all weaponry required. We will be capable of having the entire perimeter secure within 5 minutes of a warning.

To ventilate any smoke, we will be turning on all of our chutes to move the carbon up, then opening a fan in the side of each one which will allow the carbon to collect in a pile in a small armored room on the side of each shaft. Every room in the base requires a correctly coded microchip to enter.

We are also working on a defense array of satellites that will coincidently be launched from each of the shuttle chutes without any shuttle, to save energy, and they will each be equipped with a miniature gauss/linear cannon, and will fire small space derbits upon anything that we tell it to.

OOC: Sorry for the really long post. Hope it doesn't bore you! I guarantee that the terrorist nations will have tons after tons of fun trying to breach this.

OOC: Yup, it's future tech. The linear chutes though, are based on real-life in-development magnetic cannons and such though. It's really fun to build 12v magnetic tubes, lol. I can shoot paperclips!

lol. How do you make them?

Nice project by the way.

OOC: Wrap a copper coil around a paper towel tube, and then connect one end to the + side of a battery and the other to the - end. Then put whatever metallic object you want to shoot in the center, and let go ^^

Our research officers have come up with the designs for the first DF aircraft ever to be built, the KA-1 Schlaggerät, a high-speed bomber/strike aircraft. It will do all of the large-scale destruction dirty work for the Kamatian military. It launches and lands using the linear chutes on the DF base, using a full automatic mode that ensures a safe landing and take-off. It takes off using a locking system on the side of each chute that attaches to the wings of the plane, and uses a magnetic locking system. Once the locking rig gets to a certain point in the chute (With the plane magnetically attached), it releases the magnetic locks and lets the craft continue flying.

Each craft is magnetic-resistant. This means that magnets or magnetic-type weaponry or jamming equipment has no effect on it. The secret to this is that the paint job is a magnetic, and behind the steel and titanium armor that protects this valuable system from harm is a large array of magnets covering the entire plane. Each of these magnets attach to eachother, and will reflect or reverse magnetic pulses according to which polarity they are using. The glass has a magnetic-shield coating on it that uses the same principal. This coating also helps block out glare in the cockpit. As a result, the shielding system can potentially slow down any oncoming bullets or missiles, possibly even keeping them away long enough to have them run out of fuel or kinetic energy. This isn't designed as a kinetic shielding system though, so it will most likely have very little effect in most cases. These magnets can also help disrupt radar waves, making it nearly impossible (Depending on what type of radar you're up against) to know if there is one or 3,000 of these craft in the area. But that too, has a very little possibility, as this system was designed to protect the internal components from any outside magnets.

The craft is equipped with a highly sensitive detection and defensive system, making it nearly impossible to sneak up. It has four different R.I.M.S.S (Radar, Infared, Magnetic, Sonar, Sound) pods throughout the body of the craft, and is capable of identifying any enemy craft (Provided that they're in our database) within seconds of detection using things such as engine noise, radar signature, magnetic responses, etc. It will then list any possible weaknesses on the screen and ask if the pilot wishes to target the craft or deploy countermeasures. It uses the same system to detect and avoid missiles as well. The downside to this, is that Kamatian intelligence won't get off their butts and find some information on enemy planes, so we have a small database.

OOC: Welp, those are the features. I toned them down a whole-lot so it wouldn't be godmoddish, and to try to keep within a close-future tech level. Any questions? I'm not listing specs yet since I'm still developing it, but it'll carry quite a bit and use a new type of deployment system.

Delta Fortress, after the trillions of dollars we have spent on it, is finally complete, and the Kamata military is now moving in. Here are the final specs:

-----
6ft XXX (Secret Mixture/Type) Armor covering all chutes, entrances, and upper walls. It would be extremely hard to enter without authorization.

Advanced Airborn Filtration/Fire Safety System. Smoke and airborn chemicals are lifted up by giant fans in the side of each chute, and collected in a small heavily armored room, which can then be dumped later by the chute service vehicles.

Chute Service Vehicles. These vehicles are lifted by the magnetic chutes and polish the sides of the chutes, remove the contents of the smoke/chem collector room, and carry and garbage and other items up to the top of the chutes, where they can be dumped.

Main Control Room. The main control room is plated (By itself) in 12ft thick XXX Armor and glass, making it the most secure room in the fortress. It controls the whole base, and is the first place notified by giant control panels of any toxic chemical spills/entries, fires, breaches, etc. It is the most secure area within the base.

"Kill Zone" is an area 50km around the base, and inside of the base, where anything that does not have the SafeKZ (Human, mechanical, etc), will automatically be disabled, disarmed, or destroyed, and an alarm will sound within the base. It is set up to automatically repel and recognize Kamata's wildlife, as to not cause damage to the population.

Self-Sustaining system. The base is capable of being put in SS mode from the control room, where the base will pressurize and self-sustain for up to 30 days.

AI Base System. This system stays activated all of the time, and is programmed to know what to do when certain things (Like a breach) happen in the base, and controls the weather, light, and communication systems. It works together with the DeltaFortress satellites and KZ system to keep the base secure.

SafeKZ Microchip. Anything that enters the Kill Zone must have the SafeKZ microchip in order to keep safe. The DeltaFortress satellites will take down any "unsafe" aircraft that don't have it, and the KZ system will take down almost anything within the 50km zone.

"DeltaFortress Satellites" stay above Kamata, and are armed with linear cannons to fire small space dust and asteroids at any threats within Kamata. Are linked with the AI Base System
----

Well, that's pretty much it now, please let me know of any errors, or godmods, etc that you can think of. I'll release some information on my vehicles a little bit later.

FYI: It did not end up costing $2.7 trillion, it costed much more. I was just trying to give an idea of the scale of the project.

Bump fer Luck!
