Ascendancy begins Droid Army construction

Open Tactical Report: Class Blue-VII / All Eyes
Subject: Introduction of Droid Armies into the FACAF Toumans

Subject material: The Ascendancy has begun construction of droid army troopers, types from plans of the Trade Federation, of plans obtained from three Droid Control Ships found deactivated in Aphotic Galaxy while Gaian Fleets were exploring a sector about thiry-seven light years coreward of the Fungesian Star Republic.

The event about a three years old now, has given us a wealth of information to begin this next step. To create an army force, in line with the Kushan-Droid Fleets, that will act in line with the Core Toumans and Allied FACAF forces, to give a capability of 'artifical' means to bring mass numbers of troops to the field, those armed with Ionic weaponry of all sizes and power capability, at the same time as to limit mortal casualties.

Factories and Foundries were constructed and completed just about a month ago, upon the System worlds of Clan Home, Jeweled Nebulae, Red Hue, N'Buti, Grand Base, Enders, Tauria Ra, Ragnar Beta, Gallery, Lor, Engadin and Thule. Added bases, factories, and foundries are being constructed on thirty additional Systems as this report is conducted, and such, will be operational within three years total. About a hundred additional are being planned but as yet are not being implemented, due to ilCommand intention to test these new forces in combat before additional Clusters are constructed.

Droid Armies will have basic combat droids (with various armaments), super-class combat droids, destroyer-class combat droids, dedicated combat repair-class droids, and have the following assets deployable. MTT Transports, AAT Tank units, C-9979/D Landing carriers with DropShip port capability, and STAP-Class XVI hover units for droid scouting missions. In addition, new Droid Control Ships are currently entering service in the Kushan-Droid Fleet Groups, which will add to the Droid Fleet capability as well, by providing a land based attack force in the fleet's midst.

Current slate deployments are for fifty Clusters of Droid units, where a Star of combat droids will be considered 125 per Point. If trials go forward, and ilCommand accepts the droids, which seems likely given the benefits involved, the Droid Army Forces will begin to add to the FACAF, entering active service five years from now.

The idea of large numbers of droid troops, with Ionic weapons, with the only casualties being droid units that can be easily repaied, will end up saving us many more lives, both enemy and our own.

The end result will be wars that are 'far' less bloody then ever expected. All this with the end result of giving the Guardianship another tool to halt needless wars.

And 'that' is worth giving this report an 'eyes open' classification. Such that we show as our determination for our end objectives.

As for this author, I would ask the same that all the other nations will ask. What's to stop us from using these droids to invade any nation we wanted on terms we deem 'guardianship'.

..I would only say, that we program the same ethics and honor code that 'all' our troops have, as well as all the standards of Gaian society, as to 'know' that when ordered into battle, 'why' they are doing so. We indeed run risks of AI messes and such, but with the rest of droid society already made full citizens and life forms of their own rights and such, that we should take time to construct AI that the droids will 'not' find reason to be rebellious, felt as slaves, or felt as discriminated or such.

If we cover all bases, tell the truth, and use them as intended, with full knowledge and teach the 'same' as our own Touman warriors, then we will have a droid force in large quantities, that will understand the Guardianship, in as much as the rest of Gaian society does.

..and 'that' may be the best end result of this project. Not large numbers of artifical troops, but large numbers of artifical troops that feel the 'same' as our regular forces do.

...and such a force under the ilCommander will no doubt be used wisely.

...and 'that' will make this project the vein intended.

..and 'that' is what any enemy will face.

Transmission to the Gaians

We would happily allow you to use our droid production planet Mechis II in the Asurian System to construct you droids and transports for them. Technically Mechis II is just one droid factory that covers the entire planet of Mechis II which is slightly larger than Earth. Of course there are quarters for workers in many areas including the orbital ring. These factories have existed for hundreds of years, since before the Great War and were recently rediscovered by Dratherian scientists along with the other two home systems Shuvian and Narcora systems, but are fairly advanced.

You know that feeling, that when you have used a word for years, thinking it was perfectly normal, and get told out of the blue that it's something 'other' than you thought it was?

...yup, it's Friday the 13th apparently. I feel stupid. I even looked in my BT books, ready to disprove the above, and 'then' realized better. Can I say one thing?

*Girly whine* WHY DIDN'T YOU GUYS CORRECT ME THREE MONTHS AGO OR SOMETHIN!?!? *Starts hitting his head with a baseball bat real hard* =#%=;;;;

..anywho, time to start forcing my mind to spell Touman instead, not to mention correct the spelling in my nation site as well. =<>=;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

...I feel small.))

IC: Would you mind not some of our techs to this world so we can determine their capabilities? We'd be more than happy to provide our own resource capability, as well as construct new Yards and molecular foundries, botu in orbit, and on the surface, to expidite construction of our quota.

This is a fortuitous offer, one that can be discussed further at the currently in progress.

No problem Mechis II is yours to use however you wish. However further construction of plants and factories is near in possible but I guess you could build more in the orbital ring.

The ONI Concordiat is a completely Mechanized nation. We welcome you into the Realm of the Mechanized, and we will be willing to supply some of our Artificial Sentience units, manufactured in our automated factories, and used in all of our units. The units which retain the best capability are the Bolos and the Terra ships.

Our mechanical strength will assist you in building yours.

Most excellent, very much most excellent. We still presume that the world falls under your jurisdiction, and will help your primary forces in defending the planet and System.

We'll begin the first support and infrastructure imporvements within a few NS-weeks, ((OC- Like immediately actually..)) and bring in most of the quota for not only production, but also study and imporvement of existing facilities to make production more efficent.

The end result, a good 10% of Gaian Droid Forces will assist in defense of the System, and well also build the facilities needed to defend the System better as well. An entire Kushan-Droid Fleet will also be assigned to help in defense while native defense forces are improved.

Our honored regards,

Very impressive, it seems we have gained notice from more than once source. Most honorable to offer Concordiat. We thank you.

You are welcome; the Concordiat is alway ready to support Mechanization. No national hunger or economic problems. Only artificially sentient units and automated factories.

Thank you and yes it does still fall under our jurisdiction but it is completely for your use we are already using Mechis I and Mechis III for construction of different types of droids and AI systems i.e. Mobile Dolls and other A.I.s but that added help in defending our systems is appreciated. We might suggest that you attend President Mercer's Funeral (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=418950) .

The Concordiat will be willing to help as well. We have ample surplus forces, because our automated factories churn out war machines and AS units by the dozen, but we do not sell them. So we can send, say, a Class IV battlegroup to assist you in a battle. For now, we will assume no, as you may want nothing to do with us. But we are always ready to support any nation that has Mechanized to our satisfaction.

((OC- I'm 'seriously' considering adding certain Droid units from SW-Epp.III into the mix, like the Tri-Fighter, Gunship, and other models. Some Droid StarShips as well might get added.

Course I'll wait till after Friday to see Ep.III and 'then' rp the concept. Might add the Venator Class SD in as well. =^^= ))

OOC: Mwha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I see Ep. III at 6:40 PM Central time Thursday! I'd have gone to the midnight showing but I just couldn't find anybody who'd want to go with me.
