The Eshirian Sovereignty

====================================================================================
The Eshirian Sovereignty Technology Information:
(From Kyanges Entry in the "List of Tech Levels" Thread.)
Tech Level: Highly Advanced Future Tech.
Time Period: 2500-5000 (Or whatever we think is going to be around then.)
Military Tech Level: Highly Advanced Future Tech with advanced Space Fleets. Various elements of Psi tech embedded in all technology. All MT and PMT assets liquefied.
Earth: (Galaxies/Systems: ) Aphotic Galaxy. Homeworlds: Saperion Prime(Saph Prime), Saph Major, and Saph Minor. 9,000 other unexplored systems in recently purchased territories. (In the Aphotic Galaxy.)
Additional Info: The look and feel of our people can be best described as something like the Ancients from Star Gate. Let it be known however, that everything in my nation is original and from me entirely. The only exceptions are well established SciFi conventions, like wormholes, FTL drives, and the like obviously.

-Most research is completed in the highly secretive Tar'en system on the outer fringes of our space
-Technology here is made to be as original as possible, with a few exceptions being widely accepted FT devices such as transporters, replicators, worm holes and the like.

-Slick Jump Program: (1/10) OPEN IC.
Research Level: (1/5)
Construction Level: (0/5)
Notes: With inspiration gained from various sources, (OOC: That's you, No endorse.) the Tar'en engineers have begun work on a new tactical "jump" program that will grant Sovereign Vessels the ability to make an immediate tactical "Jump" (Through a wormhole.) as a last minute evasion maneuver. The difference with between this system and other similar systems is that a ship no longer has to actually go forward in order to make a jump. Jumps can now be made from side to side, up to down, or even in reverse if necessary, affording Sovereign Ships an entirely new dimension of maneuverability in a tactical engagement. Work has now begun on stabilizing the jump window to allow for such maneuvers.

-Defense, "Loop" generator: (1/50) SECRET IC.
Research Level: (3/25)
Construction Level: (0/25)
Notes: The most ambitious project yet attempted by Eshirian Engineers. The "Loop" Project aims at bringing a new level of security to Sovereign Borders with an innovative new system simply dubbed "Chaos." The most basic description is that the system will bend space in such a way that a vessel which wanders into Eshirian territory uninvited will not be met with weapons and ships, but instead will find that they have made their way out of Sovereign space heading away from it, due to the restructuring of space itself in the area surrounding the vessel or vessels.

However, the system has already been calculated to take up so much power to operate that the system is predicted to only be operable at a maximum of two points on the Eshirian Frontier at any given moment.

The official report points to a certain degree of redundancy in Eshirian technology. Current jump methods do not require any motion in any direction and therefore a program designed to increase the range of pre-jump motion is entirely pointless.

A new Program, designed to decrease FTL drive "Spin-up" time has been initiated and will be utilizing freed research and construction points from the "Slick Jump" Program.

ooc: Ah, your FTL doesn't need that? We could do a joint one on FTL in general if you'd like, but sidejumpers are what I mostly have. I don't exactly know what you mean by spin up time though...

Oh, sorry about the time gap. My net wasn't being nice, and then I just logged off and went to sleep.

(OOC: Ah no problem. No, my I was reminded by another friend of mine that my own FTL systems didn't need that >_< . "Spin-up" was a term that I got off of the remade Battlestar: Galactica series. I don't actually know what it means, but I figure it has to do with charging up something, most likely the FTL drive. :rolleyes: . The actual dialogue was something along the lines of "Hello, this is your captain speaking, we'll be waiting for about another ten minutes while we spin-up (Spool-up?) our FTL drive. I'd like to ask that everyone remain calm, we'll be out of here shortly." I thought it sounded kind of interesting so I decided to make my FTL drives have a long charge up time just so I could use that term on occasion. :( .

Research Level: (6/10)
Construction Level: (0/10)
Notes: Research indicates that the Corrolium matter stream currently employed in the creation of the physical shield of the PPAD system cannot be shared between vessels without a massive loss (Waste) of Corrolium molecules into space. More efficient methods of Matter transfer are required.

Construction Level: (0/5)
Notes: The most time consuming process before a jump has been determined to be the input of jump coordinates and the required calculations necessary for a safe jump. Upgraded computer systems are required to shorten this critical period. Current notes point towards employing a sort of "fuzzy" memory into the jump computer, allowing it to generalize then fine tune jump calculations on typical jump destinations, instead of starting from scratch, greatly speeding up the computing process.

Notes: Additional work being carried out on the "Spatial Targeting System" has revealed that while the system is capable of bending the fabric of space time to change the path of physical objects or certain forms of energy, it is not capable of maintaining a true "Chaotic" region of space without it eventually breaking down. The system has been revealed to be too limited in its capability to manipulate space on the scale needed. (Only capable of making a sort of tunnel in space, like that of a massive body to space around itself). Modifications to the base system will be necessary before preliminary trials can begin.

Notes:

The "Loop" defense system simply creates an unstable region of space where a vessel or any other object trying to pass will find themselves trapped in a region of un-mappable, chaotic, and inescapable space.

The system is employed at a ship level between two specially modified Shade Class Cruisers. Through a unique system of space-time fluid manipulation, along with FTL interdiction, Dimensional control and numerous other inhibitors, the ship are able to create, from any point in the Eshirian space, a maximum of two regions of chaotic space to trap unsuspecting enemy vessels trying to infiltrate Eshirian space.

(OOC: Anyone who's ever seen the episode of ST: Voyager where they're are trapped in a region they call "Chaotic Space" should have a general idea what this system does, and how hopeless it can be to try and beat it. In the end, ships trying to fly straight and steady will in time find themselves flying in circles. I suppose a way to beat an artificially generated Chaotic Space Region is to go around it entirely, since I can only make two such regions at a time, or to RP having a way to "Iron out" space, set the dimensions "Right", and then try to fly out.

I'd like feedback on this, to avoid having this be instantly branded as a godmod. I personally don't see it as an end all, since technically, while I can trap two massive fleets at once, one guy only has to send a third, and the system is trumped, forcing me to prioritize which enemy fleet or whatever will be stopped by this system.)

-Clone Trooper Enhancement Program: (2/50) OPEN IC.
Research Level: (2/25)
Construction Level: (0/25)
Notes: Following the Sovereignty's recent purchase of some million or more clone troopers, training missions and field tests have demonstrated that the base clone is inferior to even a standard ES grunt. The High Command, unwilling to see its large investment go to waste, has ordered a large scale "Bio Enhancement" Program to be instituted, to try and bring the Clone Troopers up to at least Standard Eshirian Combat Performance.

The following is a list of abilities that will be implemented following a few specialized implants (Both nanotech, and biological.), conditioning programs, and improved armor suits:

-Improved reactions times.
-Improved close-in fighting capabilities following Enhanced Martial Arts training programs. (Kung-Fu Clones!)
-New Psi abilities including limited Telekenesis.
-Telepathy between friendly troops.
-Increased ability to handle hazardous environments following the addition of standard "Biowear" one piece underlining garments which regulate body temperature, maintain proper moisture levels, remove waste, monitor vitals, etc.
-Improved blaster guns utilizing Rep-tubes.
-increased capability to handle heavier combat loads following implementation of built in suit servos.

-Improved close-in fighting capabilities following Enhanced Martial Arts training programs. (Kung-Fu Clones!)

Remaining Items include:
-New Psi abilities including limited Telekinesis.
-Telepathy between friendly troops.
-Increased ability to handle hazardous environments following the addition of standard "Biowear" one piece underlining garments which regulate body temperature, maintain proper moisture levels, remove waste, monitor vitals, etc.
-Improved blaster guns utilizing Rep-tubes.
-increased capability to handle heavier combat loads following implementation of built in suit servos.

Due to the similarities between the B-En Program and standard ES Marine training and conditioning regimens, work is flowing ahead smoothly. The only obstacles encountered thus far have been a few aberrant clones, and increased cost of instituting a program usually reserved for top recruits on such a wide scale. Resources have been diverted from other projects, however, completion time for the project has been set back, following a more reasonable study into the B-En Project. (As reflected by the revised research/construction and total completion figures.)

-increased capability to handle heavier combat loads following implementation of built in suit servos.
-Increased ability to handle hazardous environments following the addition of standard "Biowear" one piece underlining garments which regulate body temperature, maintain proper moisture levels, remove waste, monitor vitals, etc.

Remaining Items include:
-New Psi abilities including limited Telekinesis.
-Telepathy between friendly troops.


Development has for the most part gone quite smoothly. The completed clone troopers will be sent off to operate with ES Marine units as a realistic test of their new capabilities. Flaws in operation, equipment, and the clone himself will be scanned for, and possible fixes developed. All further modifications to the B-En Program will essentially be stopgap measures, as the current stage of project no longer allows for any major reworking of current program.

A new fighter has been sighted along the Fringe sectors of the Eshirian Border. No official reports have arrived yet, though the new fighter appears to be in the final stages of development. The fighters in the picture appear to be test bed variants strapped along a standard UL class carrier. More details to come.

ooc: How in the world did you manage to get that grainy filter on the image? Is it a rendering option in Doga, or is it in Fireworks or something?

If so, it's awesome! Also, could you check the Uberasia board?

(OOC: Thank you.

It's through Google's picture management program, Picasa. I have no real photo editing software on my computer, lol. The list of effects there lets me mess around with saved images. After the modifications, it's just a matter or doing a "Print Screen." , MS Paint, and then hosting it.

Since it's not from DoGa or Fireworks, is it still awesome? :(

Lol, joking. I'm thinking of asking Korgarein for help on setting up a website, and following his organizational method sometime in the future, but that's an idea on the backburner for now.

In the near term, I'll be making my renders look more like "secret agent" pictures and the typical blurry image that you see on those military fanatics forums. Those pictures will be used to illustrate the thread I'll make listing my fleet, and finally fleshing out my military in a clear manner.

(I'll take a look at the region in a sec.) .)

News Update:

A new program has been initiated to reinforce Eshirian borders, and all planetary systems from attack. Though distance from all potential threats is still the main deterrent, there is still no defense against an all out assault save the current generic network of space mines, listening outposts, and Laser cannon turrets.

In the next few years, the following list of defenses will be created along the entire perimeter of the Sovereignty:

-FTLi fields of all encountered types from wormhole to BS space.

-Phase cloaked mine fields equipped with small maneuvering thrusters.

-"Chaotic Space" fields. (Refer to "Loop" generators in this thread.)

-Upgraded defense turrets to Multi-phasic Energy Cannons, and "Thumper" torpedo turrets to be placed along the Frontier and in orbit of all planets.
--(Minimum 500 turrets of both types around each world. All turrets will be Jump capable to adapt to threats.)

-Planetary shielding around all worlds. Shields will include a network of generic energy shields, Proton Micro Blackhole generators, and Leaon PPAD shields.

-1 Generic Outpost station every 500 lightyears, and 1 Exas-1 type Starbase every 3,000 lightyears along the expanse.

-Additional defenses to be placed upon completion of listed items.

News Update:
Today, Tar'en Heavy Industrial has received a new contract to add new capabilities to the already versatile ArcFire-220 Anti-Ship torpedo, dubbed "Thumper".

The "Thumper" has been in service for well over 10 years, and is overdue for a model update. The new variants, which will both include the recently completed "Mrk. X" QD, is set to have new Phase cloak systems, and dimensional shift systems added, allowing it to not only strike unseen, but also simply phase past enemy shielding.

-Model AF-220B is set to include the phase cloak systems
-Model AF-220C is to include the dimensional shift systems.

Research is slated to begin next year.

Notes: The first preliminary research into miniaturizing phase shift systems for use onboard a missile has begun. Although there are already problems with power generation for such an energy hungry system, there has been minimal success made with linking around three T1 ZPG's which currently power the already diminutive "Sprite" missiles. ZP field synchronization has had numerous problems however, as it seems that manipulating such a small ZP field requires extremely quick changes that current micro field stabilizers just aren't capable of producing. Additional research into improving these systems is seen as the necessary first step in creating phase shift torpedoes.

Notes: The reports are in, and the data has been effectively been checked an infinite number of times through our current mass quantum computers. The results are not promising. Open research into micro ZP field stability has produced little to no data into solving the problems described in the previous reports. At the moment, no modification on the current micro field stabilizers seems to produce the desired effect, setting this program back to the drawing board. For now, work on the ArcFire 220B variant has been given the go ahead for the first phase of testing on the miniaturized cloaking systems. Additional research points have been allocated to the ArcFire-220C program in hopes of finding an alternate methods of producing shield "Ignoring" torpedoes and other similar weapons. Most sensor data regarding Godulan Tachyon weaponry appears to hold promise, though the level of data currently gathered is not nearly enough to produce a feasible research program. A new research program to "fill in the gaps", may be created within the next month or two.


News Update:

-The Cium Computer Corp, (CCC) has released information pertaining a startling new project. Although details have not been released due to "Corporate Security.", several pieces of advertising art, and vague pamphlets proclaiming "A new era in mass computing." have been released, all apparently aimed at gathering increased public/media attention.

The art centers around a super-massive black hole, assumed to be representative of the super-massive black hole in the center of the galaxy, with streams of what are data flowing out of it. Project "Sentience" has been proclaimed by CCC officials as the greatest development of the millenia.

More details at a later date.


-Regrading the fuzzy photos of a new fighter released weeks ago, the Sovereignty Defense Department has released a name: SSF-19 "Piria", and a purpose: "Breed the next generation of Space Fighter". The two pieces of information, though cryptic, still clarify what many in the industry have been hoping for: A resurgence of interest in the Fighter, as the premier fighting vehicle in the Sovereign Space Force (SSF).

OOC: Are you going to intergrade SM style troops into your armies now that you've played DoW? Or is the Clone Trooper Enhancement Program your version of SM's? (We can't really talk tomorrow, unless the Hafords don't mind me using their phone.) PS, check Uberasia messages.

OOC: I didn't know if you have intergrated Space Marines into your army and thought that the genetic enhancements was your version of SM's, considering you made the post after you played DoW.

SM's are basically enhanced people (or clones) after all.

Oh, by SM style, you mean clones, and enhanced soldiers? If that's what you meant, then no, because my troops all had genetic enhancements since the moment they were created. Telepathy, telekinesis, energy blasts coming from their hands or whatever, were all in me ES marines from the star (Regular grunts are as far away from ES marines as Imperial Guardsmen are from Terminators.). I actually made the Clone Trooper Enhancement program long before I ever played DOW (Check the date again.).

I thought you meant something more specific, like, Space Marines are generally really big, tough as nails, really bulky, kinda short ranged overall, devout... No, my troops are something more like uber Tau Firewarriors. Freakin accurate long range capabilities, they are really stylish, and now they're not supposed to suck at close combat.

So this:

Notes: Amazingly, work on both torpedo variants both made sudden breakthroughs. The Phase shift system was replaced with a MP energy generator, which achieved the same "Shield Ignoring" effects as was intended with the Phase shift, yet with Eshirian expertise in MP energy manipulation, there were far fewer problems. The cloaked torpedo variant team also made a leap in power generation for the tiny ZPG. The development focuses on the new ability of the Micro ZPG to maintain a higher power output thanks to increases in the number of power transfer lines within the device, effectively doubling the output. Currently, the second batch of prototypes are being constructed.


News Update:

-CCC has released the final documents in their large scale computing program. The plan is apparently more ambitious than anyone anticipated. Rumors were correct that CCC intends to utilize a black hole as a massive computer, though it is still unclear just how their scientists will go about this. Though it has long been known that matter falling into a black hole will cause a release of some form determined by the characteristics of the matter falling in, it has long been held that even the same release caused by the same type of matter being consumed is still too varied to produce anything near what is necessary for precision computing, CCC officials claim that this problem has been solved... Question still surround the exact intent of this program though more information is set to be released soon...

-Next two days: RepCon Crews to be deployed to the galactic center of Galaxy "Scia"

-Deployment +2: First foundations for matter streams into Galactic Black Hole (GBH). This stage is akin to setting up the data inputs of the Galactic Computer (GC).

-Deployment +10: A massive structure around 2 AU in size will be erected around the GBH, setting up what will eventually be the main computing station.

-Deployment +700: Following the structure's completion, the first matter streams into the GBH will begin. Reactions and output will be recorded to calibrate the matter injections for basic I/O.

-Deployment +720: After matter stream calibration is complete, and all reactions from various types of matter injection are completed, the first programs to run on this computer are to be implemented.

-Deployment +750: Follwoing additional fine tuning of the Galaxy Computer, FTL PsiCommu terminals will be set up, securing a stable com link between the Galaxy Computer of Scia with Sapherion Prime, Homeworld of the Eshirian Sovereignty.

The exact reason behind this computer's creation has not yet been revealed, though its computing power will be vastly greater than that of any computer in existence... Sentience is a given, though a sentient black hole is something never before tried...

Though the loss is deeply felt, work has forged ahead. Currently, the first I/O tests of upon the black hole have begun with promising results. No more details can be recorded as the work has only just begun.


News Update:

Work has begun on the main sections of the Galaxy Computer, nicknamed "Scia", after the galaxy it is currently being constructed in. Much rumor and speculation has arisen over the concept of a Sentient Black Hole. Many wonder is this the first step in the creation of an ARGOD, or "Artificial God.", the very thought of which, is needless to say, disturbing, and begs the question, "If we create a God, what does that make us?"


While the Controversial project continues on, smaller projects have risen. The most high profile of which, is the Sovereignty's own "Galaxy Gun" superior...

News Update:

As the Eshirian Fleet is spread far and wide with the following deployments:

-Laski Rebellion in No endorse.
-Increased threat level with the introduction of the Kaymirilians in the Laski Conflict.
-Huntarian Rebellion
-Pirate attacks stemming from the New Dornalia.
-Increasingly overt threats from Huntaer.
-Impending invasion from Tanthan.
-Increased threats from the "Ashien" race from the Unknown Regions.
-Exploration of the Unknown regions.
-Remaining aftermath from the second Galactic Civil War.

there has been an increasing amount of concern growing over the safety of the Sovereignty, and the security of its future. Although the military has preformed admirably under these trying circumstances, its abilities remain stretched to the limit.

In response, the Sovereign High Command has ordered that a mass expansion program be initiated, beginning with the immediate recruitment of additional personnel, and an increase in the number of war/logistics vessels, especially the latest line of ADV Battlecarriers, and Savage Class Dreadnaughts.

Though exact numbers have not yet been decided, the program has been slated to finish around 5 years from this day, with a minimum of 8,000 additional warships.

Unusual reports of increased psionic abilities among the general populous have been reported along the Fringe Sectors near the galactic rim. There are no details pertaining to these disturbing reports.

On another note, the virtually nonexistant crime rate in the Sovereignty has suddenly increased as more police reports of violence and dissent pour in from all regions of the Sovereignty. There is speculation that there may be a connection between the increased violence, the enhanced pisonic abilities in the population, and the recently completed Galaxy Computer Project.

Bump, for recognition. Planning on making some kind of return, so here's the thread for some reference on what I had way back

Three years ago.
