Kriegorgrad
25-07-2005, 20:30
Comrade General Melchett (http://www.british-sitcom.co.uk/blackadder/graphics/char_melchett2.gif) was the perfect image of childhood innocence, having procured a smile belonging to a young one on Christmas morn and the constant fidgeting that announced his agitation, however, the thick moustache crowning his beaming mouth most certainly did not belong to a child. Fleet Admiral Heatherton (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/Kriegorgrad/images.jpg) held a far more serious face, being the more down-to-earth of the pair, it was his job to keep his excitement in check when Melchett’s better judgement failed him, the other man took a rapid swig from his silver flask of whiskey while just short of rocking back and forth on his heels. Taking in the view of the observation bunker, heat proof safety glass shielding the aged man from the intense heat was left after the rocket taking off its pad, roaring into the air to drag the last final parts to the Kriegos space station. The space station to facilitate the launch of the Liberator-Class Spacecraft.
“We’re so close!” Whined General Melchett in glee, his voice sounding infantile against the rich and deep sound it usually produced from the overload of excitement.
”Yes, yes we are quite near to our goal.” Replied Heatherton, with as little enthusiasm as he could muster.
”Shall we make an announcement to the international community? Let those foreign devils know that Kriegorgrad is no small fish!”
”If you must…”
But Heatherton’s less than zealous remark was lost on Melchett, as he scurried off to deliver his message to the community, no doubt, with all the subtlety of an oversexed elephant careering through a china shop in search of a mate.

”It is a proud time for the Collective Oligarchy when we can announce the founding of the Proletarian Star Fleet. For too long, has the machine of Kriegorgrad been bound to earth, sea and air; today, Kriegorgrad seeks to conquer the final barrier. A grand ship of war has been forged with the most potent technologies available, this powerful ship has been dubbed the “Liberator”, it shall launch “Confiscate” class pods – filled with Proletarian Guardsmen trained for boarding actions – at ships commandeered by unworthy captains who dare threaten Kriegorgrad.
Should you have no qualms with Kriegorgrad, you’ll have no qualms with the Proletarian Star Fleet. Our friends should clap in merriment while our enemies should cower in fear as we enter a new era of warfare. A new era of defence for the Collective Oligarchy.“
Yours Sincerely,
The Oligarch of Kriegorgrad, Comrade Leader Nikolai Fedorenkov

Liberator-class Space Superiority Vessel:
Picture:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/Kriegorgrad/KreigosShip012.png
General Description
Role: Space Superiority via HSPI (High-Speed-Pod-Insertion)
The Liberator class starship is the first of several starship classes being designed by Kriegorgrad for the Proletarian Space Fleet. The purpose of the Liberator class of vessels is two-fold; space-superiority, and the protection, launching and recovery of extremely fast but heavily-armoured boarding pods, designed to attach themselves to an enemy vessel and allow boarding of said vessel by Proletarian Guardsmen.
Thus the Liberator Class has an inordinate amount of armour and weaponry, sacrificing speed for the chance to get close to an enemy vessel, engage it in a firefight and disable or impede the vessel before launching the boarding pods and providing covering fire
Heavily armoured and heavily equipped, the Liberator class “motherships” are sufficiently outfitted to see that their charges are delivered, and with no less that one hundred and forty four Proletarian Guardsmen on board, the Liberator is quite capable of disabling a frigate via boarding action. The ship is quite a cramped affair, thus, boarding actions against a Liberator could get quite messy, the halls are armoured to prevent critical damage from gunfire, should the enemy have the audacity to board one of the Collective Oligarchy’s space craft.
Decks
Deck One: Combined Command Module and Proletarian Guardsmen Quarters with Primary Armoury
Deck Two: Secondary Proletarian Guardsmen Quarters, Mess Hall
Deck Three: Tertiary Proletarian Guardsmen Quarters, Secondary Command Module, Engine Room, Secondary Armoury
Deck Four: Main Pod Housing Centre, Tertiary Armoury
Power/Propulsion
Six Nuclear Fission Reactors - Power for Ion Drive
Two Main Engines - Rear of Vessel - Two Reactors Per Engine
Reactors power Ion Drive for propulsion
Reactors also used for powering of life-support, weapons etc

Height: 121 feet
Weapons
Offensive
Sixteen Missile Cells
Six Railguns
Mass Driver HSPI Delivery Systems
Defensive
Gatling-based Point-Defence System for KEV defence
Six Low/Medium-Powered Lasers for anti-missile applications
Various jamming systems for KEVs and Missiles
Anti-Radar 'Snow', Static for missile-defence
Armour
Titanium-Steel composite, a layer of lead (for radiation protection) and then honey combed steel.
Outer armour to be coated in an ionomer-solution for self-healing armour in a way to deflect micro-asteroids.
Crew
49 Crewmembers inc. Command Staff.
150 Proletarian Guardsmen – Six soldiers stay behind to guard the command staff.
Price
Not available for purchase at the time being, but overall cost of the project itself amounted to about one hundred and eighty seven billion USD.
Confiscate-Class High Speed Insertion Pod:
Picture:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v227/Kriegorgrad/KriegosConfiscatePod.png
General Description
Role: Boarding Action
The Confiscate class pod is geared for one thing, and one thing only: boarding action. The engine is ion based and geared for maximum output during its short trip from the Liberator class “mothership” to the target. The system of preparing, launching and “clamping” each Confiscate class pod is as follows:
1.) Target is locked into Confiscate’s targeting systems, it will home in on the target
2.) Soldiers are loaded into pod with full kit
3.) Rocket Engine is engaged
4.) Mass Driver launches Confiscate pod
5.) Pod launch two hooks via Mass Drivers which grip onto target ship and then retract, pulling pod towards the target ship
6.) The exit tube has inbuilt welders, which rotate 360 degrees and result in a clean hole
7.) Proletarian Guardsmen boarders force the hull inwards and then proceed to take the enemy ship.
The Liberator will angle the mass drivers as to ensure maximum speed and accuracy to see the pods
Decks
Deck One: Houses the Proletarian Guardsmen strike team for boarding action
Power/Propulsion
One rocket engine
Fuel specified for maximum burn in short time
Electromagnetic ramjets for atmosphere/stratosphere propulsion
Battery System for life support ect. ect.
Oxygen in pressurised compartments can be released for emergency manoeuvring
Dimensions
Length: 31 feet
Span: 16 feet
Height: 9 feet
Weapons
Defensive
Explosive Defensive Armour (ERA)
Armour
Titanium-Steel composite, a layer of lead (for radiation protection) and then honey combed steel.
Outer armour to be coated in an ionomer-solution for self-healing armour in a way to deflect micro-asteroids.
Crew
None in the conventional sense, the flight plan is pre-plotted and executed via guidance systems.
12 Proletarian Guardsmen – Equipped with Enfields, Sten Guns, Webley Revolvers, Trench Spikes (http://www.gunmuse.com/uploadphotos/1119123586.jpg) and Flamethrowers.
Or…
8 Ordos Fedor – Equipped with VEPR NGCS ( http://s6.invisionfree.com/International_Mall/index.php?showtopic=1053) and SR-90X1 Assault Rifle.
Price
Each pod itself costs roughly fifteen billion USD, however, the pods are not for sale individually, as is with the Liberator-Class Spaceship
