Harmonia Mortus

OOC:
Work in progress :)
Rules:
-If you dont have the money, dont order.
-All orders in USD
-Harmonia accepts payment in both USD and gold (I think at current market rates 1oz Gold is worth about $300)
-If you order a custom ship and dont fill out all the fields your order will be ignored.
-I reserve the right to refuse to sell/serve anybody I damn well please. Whining will only make it worse.
-If your country lacks to technology to maintain/service our ships we will gladly provide these services for a minimal services charge.
-All Harmonian technology is fitted with self-destruct devices. Unauthorized attempts to copy/reproduce will result in destruction of the technology. If this occurs the objects warranty is void and Harmonia Mortus accepts no responsibility for damage to equipment or personell caused by this.
First off:
Power Crystals.
http://www.mineralminers.com/html/lemm131b.jpg
Power Crystals are the basis of all Harmonian technology. They provide the energy that makes things go.
Basicaly a Power Crystal is a specialy enchanted piece of material that acts as a battery for magical energy. They come in all sizes, ranging from fingernail sized to pieces twenty feet wide. Generaly these are only used for extremly large-scale projects, such as Thaumic Reactors.
Most Power Cyrstals have a lifetime of about four to five hundred years, unless cracked in which case they have a life of about .005 picoseconds.
All items in this store come with their own powercrystal, which should outlast the item
The main disadvantage of Power Crystals is that they tend to explode if cracked or exposed to exmtremly high amounts of magic, such as having an Imp fall onto them. If one crystal goes, its very likely that the rest will go as well. The good part is that the crystals themselves are nearly as strong as diamonds, but can be shattered by a blow to the right spot, again, like diamonds.
Price Range:
(Rough guide, crysals between power levels are for sale at relative prices. EX: A 5 Milithaum crystal costs 15 dollars)
Milithaum Crystal: $10
Centithaum Crystal: $20
Thaum Crystal: $50
Decithaum Crystal: $80
Kilthaum Crystal: $120
Thaumic Cannons:
Thaumic Cannons launch proccessed magical power at a target, with effects similar to lasers. Larger cannons have a slight backblast which can result in reality distortions, unless properly channeled. Newer guns have a recycler to help prevent this.
The weapons work by drawing power from a crystal, focusing it and then projecting a combination of superheated air (from the ship) and randomized magical particles. The beam is usualy blocked by standard shields.
Some notes:
Harmonia uses very...unique ships. Basicaly theyre made of wood and have sails, but are perfectly capable of traveling through space thanks to a little miracle of magic. This is important because most of these cannons are designed to be mounted on a deck, not in a turret, they can be modified, but generaly they work best on rotating deck plates. THey all have a blast shield on the barrel to prevent your crew from being turned into chickens or something by the background magic.
Research is currently being done in the field of multibarrel Thaum Weapons, but cooling and Thaumic buildup issues are bogging the program down. Donations would be appreciated and discounts may be offered to those who help.
Any resemblace to WWI/II era-weapons is pure coincidence.
$150
Milithaum Cannon:
http://www.blackrivermilitaria.com/1910~cap.jpg
A Milithaum Cannon is the equivalent of a standard 7.62mm machine gun, and about the same size. Its best suited to taking down infantry and light vehicles, and maybe lower-flying aircraft (helicopters). It lacks enough power to do any real damage to much other than that. It is capable of sustained autmatic fire.
Mostly its light and fairly cheap.
Centithaum Cannons:
$650
http://www.usscod.org/graphics/40mm-opt.jpg
^Heavy version
Similar to a .50 calibur weapon. This is best for fighter/point-defence, as well as taking out light armoured vehicles, and maybe tanks. This is too heavy for a normal person to carry/operate by themselves, but can be operated from a tripod or rail mount.
This is capable of about ten seconds of automatic fire before a pause for cooling will be needed.
Thaum Cannons:
$1,500
http://www.usscod.org/graphics/5in-opt.jpg
This has a force similar to an anti-tank rocket. These are fairly large, definitly too big for a person, and must be mounted in either a tank hull or on a ship. usualy they have their own rotational mounts.
Decithaum Cannons:
$7,500
http://www.ida.liu.se/~tompa/big-gun.jpg
(Do not under any circumstances do what these men are doing when cannon is in use.)
Standard armament on HArmonian Naval Vessels, these have the power of a large bomb or missile. The cannon is quite large and requires its own turret or rotator mount. The cannon is incapable of automatic fire, but fires in solid beams lasting two seconds, making it good for anti-fighter work, but its best suited to ship-to-ship combat or ground-strafing.
Needs its own turret or rotational mount.
Kilothaum Cannons:
$10,500
http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/usr/wbardwel/public/nfalist/aberdn27.jpg
This is basicaly a very large atomic bomb projector. The beam has the destructive capability of two Hiroshima-type bombs concentrated into a beam about two feet across, Im sure there is a forumula to calculate the exact force per square inch of that beam, but Im too lazy to work it out.
The beam fires a burst lasting 5 seconds, and must recharge for thirty seconds to one minute afterwards for a full charge, cooling takes fifteen seconds.
The weapon and its power sources.support stuff take up quite alot of space, generaly they require their own ship.
Nations with populations under 50,000,000 may not purchase this weapon.
MegaThaum Cannons:
They dont exist. Stop looking at this, its not here.

Custom Ships:
Harmonia is offering custom-designed ships for sale, of the standard Harmonian style of wooden skyships. Generaly thought to be much more astheticaly appealing than your average metal tug, and faster as well.
All skyships are capable of both air, space, and sea travel with no conversion needed other than activating/deactivating the shields. If you land in the ocean with your shields on the water will evaporate and your ship will sink, once the water closes over your shield its most likely going to overload and fail, resulting in an ocean falling on your head.
Please fill out the following:
Name: What you want your ship called (please include your nations naval insignia, HMS, USS, whatever)
Length: How long your ship is in meters
Width: How wide your ship is in meters
Number of Decks: How many decks (levels) your ship has, the max is four (not counting top-deck) due to stability/power issues.
HUll Type:
What sort of hull you want, EX: Carrack, Galleon, Man of War, or one of your own design (please provide some sort of picture)
Weapons:
List of what weapons/weapon mounts you want. If provided with plans we can place the mounts for non-Harmonian weapons, or the weapons themselves.
Defences:
See weapons.
Masts/Sails:
How many masts/sails you want on your ship. Include outrigger shields
Drive:
How many/what type of engine you want.
Harmonia can install a classical Harmonian drive system at a cost of $80 per drive crystal and $200 for the main core crystal, plus $60,000 for the equipment to channel the magical energy.
Note:
Harmonian drives work like so:
Energy from the power core is forced into the drive crystals, which when charged 'pull' in whatever direction they are facing. These crystals are placed into omnidirectional mounts in the ships hull, they are capable of pointing in any direction resulting in a very manuverable ship.
