Military Build-Up (FT)

Recent events have lead both the Abh Empire and Neo Zeta to begin building up their military.
Star Forces of the Empire currently numbers at about three thousand vessels not including supply fleets. It is the desire of the Humankind Abh to at least double this number though it may be an unlikely goal. We will also be aquiring our first SSD from the Neo Zeta government.
Neo Zeta will also begin building up it's military forces along side the Abh. We will be lending facilities to help speed up their process.

We have a Idea the Abh may find intresting. We have after months of data gathering have a list of our top 200 soliders. We will if the Abh came up with such a list we could mix their DNA and creat a new Race of Clones that could be cloned right to the age of 18 and be used as troops. They can be programmed while being cloned with all the information they would need for whatever role they would be. Froma foot solider to Fleet Admiral. They can be born and sent right to the battlefield.
Those who stand out can have their information saved so when they do die they can be improved and recloned. This can also serve as a test to see if this method should be used for other jobs as well.
This should be started on a limited field test first. Maybe a few squads and ships. Then bump them up to Regiments and and Divisons. We await your reply.

Please explain these 'recent events'. We are curious as to what could cause HA to enlarge their military.

The Socialist Republic wishes to suggest, with all due respect, that our new acquaintances in the Humankind Empire might have better success in maintaining peace between themselves and the international community by reducing their defense commitments and instituting a more diplomatically-driven strategy. From our point of view, the Empire's near-constant involvement in military engagements is the result of an excess of military alliances and overbearing concern with domestic and international issues directly unrelated to its own affairs. The Alphini enter that an effective strategy for peace in the Empire, and thus the prevention of many needless future deaths and destruction of property, could include the cessation of new fleet construction, stepping down from all or most of its mutual defense agreements, especially unconditional alliances, and the institution of a less military-oriented crisis negotiation platform.
We have developed a limited measure of respect for the leadership of the Empire, considering its aristocratic, non-democratic governmental structure and marked class system. We are disinclined, however, from forming stronger ties with a nation that seems almost unable to deliver purely conciliatory solutions to problems that, we believe, often needlessly become military affairs. In summation, though the Socialist Republic's leadership fully recognizes the sovereignty of the Emperor in regards to the Humankind Empire Abh, we would very much like to see a role shift from active to passive defense on the part of its Star Forces. In our experience and observations of other nations, springing to bring force to one's national defense is often a catalyst for bilateral or, in some cases, multilateral escalation into armed conflict. Preparedness for any eventuality is essential of course, but we think it equally important to give a real chance to peaceful resolution through unarmed negotiation and compromise before jumping behind one's guns. The Emperor and his successors would be wise to keep that advice in mind when dealing with future incidents.

“In the name of the Cosmic Empire of the Planet Jurai, I express great concern about the display of aggressiveness that Abh Empire and their allies from the Triumvirate showed lately. Therefore, I ask you to reconsider your policy of aggressive expansion, namely, your attack on Kazecistan and their allies from the Republic. Should no agreement be reached on this issue, I must warn you that Jurai Imperial Navy stands ready to counter future assaults on Kazecistan and their allies, and may even go as far as to bring war on Abh's own territory.”
- Supreme Empress Ayeka (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Ayeka_Jurai) of the Planet Jurai (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/The_Planet_Jurai)
i realy dont care but the borg will and always be on alert for incursions into borg territory
The Armed Empire congratulates The Humankind Abh on this move. Let loose the dogs of war and spill blood for Khorne! Since we are allied with Chronosia, we are technically alied with you. If you require any help militarily, we will always be there.
Bloodthirster Emperor Tar, Overlord of Jaratia and Servant of Khorne.
The Humankind Abh
25-09-2005, 16:57
The Abh Empire appreciates the support of the Armed Empire. If there are elements in which we feel that we need your help, we shall take you up on your offer.
Xanthal's concern is much appreciated and no offense is taken. Though there are times when diplomacy does not always work and the actions of allies are not always of our device. Therefore we have taken steps to improve defense of our own territory incase there are those that wish to assault our nation and for the added force that in future conflicts our Empire can be of even more help. We have not forsaken all diplomacy. We still look to make allies for no better reason than for understanding of others and to open our doors to possible trading partners. We hold no ill will towards the Xanthal territory and they should know that we will be ever ready in they case that our aid is needed.
As for the Neo Zeta government, we agree to your proposal of clone troops. We can lend our genetic facilities to you for the improvement of all troops. We await to hear more details of what you wish for in improved soldiers. We can engineer each clone to make them all "Abh" in a sense that each will be complimented with an alpha. It is an extra sensory organ that allows all Abh to exceed every race in piloting. Ships will have to be refitted to accomdate this change but with our ship yards, this can be done.
We have also taken an interest in the Eclipse class SSD. We have gone into production of 3 of such vessels. The completion of these will take many years to complete and only the structure work has been layed out. Extra time will need to spent to make them more "abh". (It will take about 4 monthes in RL) The completion of doubling the fleet is only about a third of the way complete since we are also replacing ships that have been destroyed in battle. (That should be finished in about 1 month time)
The Technocracy commends your efforts at improving the sive and efficiency of your fleet. We also recognize that international diplomacy has become more and more a matter of who has the biggest stick. While we do not agree with these developments, we recognize the need for a large fleet of capable attack craft.
We will therefore reduce tariff restrictions on your imports into Rupil-Controlled space, as we hope this will imporve both your economy and ours. Hopefully our nations will grow close to eachother.
We would also like to take this time to announce that we also have laid down the groundwork for a new commandship. This will be Nature's Wrath, and we expect it to be completed in about thirty years.
~May Fortune Smile upon your Endeavors~

We thank the Technocracy for it's support in our efforts. We also commend them in this new command ship that they have commissioned.
Closer ties between our nations would be something that we hope for if you so desire. Finer agreements for trade and other arrangements can be made.
In the offices of the Abh government the dedicated villip given them months ago began to throb and pulse vehemently. It begged attention, letting all who passed by that someone on the other end wished to communicate.
The Humankind Abh
25-09-2005, 20:40
Admiral Spoor was elected to handle the villip since she was present with the Talaax ambassadors. Admiral Spoor was in her chambers when she could feel the power from the villip eminate.
She reached over and picked it up. She remembered how to coax the thing to open. "This is Admiral Spoor of the Abh Empire. What is it that I can do for you?"
Neo Zeta
25-09-2005, 20:41
Empress Mukuro read the threat from The Planet Jurai she laughed that such a weak nation would think it chould stand up to them.
To The Planet Jurai mind your toung or you may end up destroyed. Make no mistake about it Neo Zeta's fleets could destroy your nation and send whats left off to slave camps.
The villip slowly everted, taking the shape of the hideously scarred and tattooed visage of the Warmaster Tsavong Lah. The scowl on his face let the Abh dignitary know that this was far from a pleasant call. Tsavong Lah stared at the image on his villip showing the unscarred and untattooed face of the infidel ambassador, such sights always filled him with pious disgust. Disregarding his disgust and ignoring the impulse to squash the tiny creature infront of him, Tsavong Lah spoke.
"It has come to our attention that you are building more of your abomination vessels and expanding your infidelic military. Although we have extended a tentative branch of peace towards you, do not believe that we are unwilling to crush your mechanical abominations. The Gods do not wish for us to destroy you, they have made that clear. But know this: If your infidel military forces venture into our territory we will not hesitate to crush them and carry destruction to your worlds! Stay away from our territory and we will do the same to you, but encroach upon our interests and we will return the favour tenfold! The Gods will not tolerate mechanical abominations within our territory."
The Humankind Abh
25-09-2005, 21:53
Admiral Spoor looked at the ugly warmaster. "We are not spreading out into other nations. On the contrary, we have accepted nothing from the current conflicts we are involved in. We build more of our ships to protect our soveirgnty. I did not offer you that token of peace just so I could stab you in the back. Hardly, this Empire tends to value allies greatly. We have no desire to invade you nor impose any of our technology on you."

OOC: Sorry for the interrupt, Abh. Can we hook up on MSN sometime? Think I lost your SN...
Tsavong Lah scoffed inwardly at the perceived hypocrisy of the Abh ambassador, careful not show this on his face however. He glared at the villip infront of him waiting for his tizowyrm to translate his thoughts into the infidel tongue. The tiny creature whispered the words into his ear.
"Perhaps you do not outwardly wish to expand your influence, Admiral, but any expansion of military forces inevitably leads to an expansion of influence and territory. This galaxy is not so dangerous that your already extensive military need be expanded unless you plan on carrying out a campaign of conquest." Tsavong Lah tapped his ear to coax the tizowyrm to continue with translation.
"Our people, in theory, have nothing against conquest. On the contrary, war is a glorious pursuit - especially when carried out in the name of the Gods - but we will not tolerate expansion into our areas of influence. I do not mean to come across as threatening. Perhaps we should meet once more, perhaps on one of our worldships, and discuss our mutual interests in our area of the galaxy. We can draw out our various spheres of influence. If your government is interested, we will forward you the coordinates of the worldship The Slayer. I would be happy to meet with your delegation in person."

26-09-2005, 03:40
OOC: Core, yeah I'll hook up with you when I can. Just be on the look out for it. Actually input this email, thegamerdude@hotmail.com
IC: "I will agree to this meeting so that there will be no possible confusion between our nations. I recommend that we meet on your ship on your terms. Seems more fair since you visited our Capital, I shall visit you on your terms."
"The Slayer is currently in orbit over the world we designate Planet 124459M. It's designation in your tongue is Temara, recently acquired by our forces. We will meet with your delegation in 9 of your "standard days". Until then, I bid you farewell." Tsavong Lah bowed his head solemnly and placed his open palm over the villip. A second later it reverted to it's normal form.
OOC: Would you prefer to start a new thread for discussions or just continue here?
The Humankind Abh
26-09-2005, 03:56

From: Galactic Republic of Anagonia
With interest of peace and prosperity between our two nations, and assurance that your Empire and the Galactic Republic will not get involved in a war, we ask that you allow a Diplomatic meeting between representives from your Nation, and ours.
With the intent to maintain our intelligence and safety, we will keep close tabs on your activities until such time as a Diplomatic Council between two Respresenitives of respective Nations. Your build-up is, and can be considered, a threat. However, we will not see it as such. We shall consider your build-up a possible National Issue of your own, in which we are not involved in.
In ending, it will be of the upmost importance that a Diplomatic meeting take place between our two Star Nations. This will lower any threat we may, now or in the future, see in your Empire, and quite possibly, could open good relations.
Thank you for your time,

500 attack vessels are complete. 300 Guardships are being prepared to be released. small stature and being cookie cutter designs allows for fast production and replacement.
The Humankind Abh
23-10-2005, 02:38
The Victory has gone through all test phases and is now in action. Work on the third Victory Class Destroyer is almost complete. The Crusader is currently breaking in engines and will soon go through weapons and systems check.
200 Whitestars have now been produced along with 100 Patrolships, 300 Attack Vessels and 100 Guardships. Star Forces was Reduced to 2,000 ships due to shadow attacks. It is currently at 3,500 ships. The SSDs have been reduced to 5. As soon as the final Victory Class Destroyer is completed, all momentum will be shifted to the Eclipses.
Abh ground forces are in an overhaul as they are being lead by a special breed of betterman that are at the peak of their evolution. Military weapons are being replaced with superior ones. Defenses on the borders are being strengthened with garrison forces and protective platforms against stealth and worm holes.
Defense systems on the capital are also being improved as new shield systems are being installed along with improved gun turrets and missle silos. Moon bases are being prepared to deal with any invading threat.
The Humankind Abh
23-10-2005, 03:18
Star Forces academies are being reformed to allow for a new branch. Before in the Empire, only Abh were allowed to command and pilot. Now with the new class of ships being built, humans will be allowed to pilot and command. This will increase numbers in Star Forces drastically. New courses will begin immediatly to help each branch learn the strategies' of the other so that they may compliment each other in battle.
This also is the beginning of bringing around more equality in the Empire between Abh and human.
The Humankind Abh
27-10-2005, 21:26
The Empire has received a flow of new workers which increases Star Forces even more and allows for more ships and factoried to be built. This increases productivity by two times what would normally have been expected.
500 Whitestars have been produced along with 200 Patrolships, 600 Attack Vessels, and 200 Guardships.
The Crusader is now complete and has gone through all testing phases. With the added resources, two more destroyers are to be built. The Maelstrom is currently being completed.
The Eclipse SSDs are also simultaneously being worked on as well.
Star Forces numbers: 5,000
The Humankind Abh
28-10-2005, 18:25
Factories for droid fighters and Imperial walkers have begun construction. Completion should be in six monthes (6 days).
Maelstrom engine's are going through break in phase. Work on the final destroyer is also started. A name for the new ship has not been thought of yet.
200 Whitestars, 100 Patrolships, 500 Attack Vessels, and 300 Guardships have been completed and added to Star Forces.
Star Forces numbers: 6,100
Expecatation to double the fleet has already been exceeded due to extraodinary circumstances. The projected numbers are unknown now as more and more apply to academies and production continuosly flows.

So, having an army of 18 year olf clones...might want to watch out if you assault any beaches, cuz any chicks on that beach are gonna get raped by the ragging hormones.

300 Attack vessels, 100 Patrolships, and 400 Guardships have rolled off the line. This brings Star Forces to a total of 7,000 ships not including the larger destroyers, SSDs and the Eclipses.
From here on out, only a small amount of ships will be produced and put into storage for replacements.
All other projects are going according to plans.

Reconstruction of the Abh orbiting capital has been complete. The capital has taken on a more medieval look with the outlaying design of a stronghold. The original facility stand at the center as the palace while the rest of the Abh population exands outward. Several out towers have been constructed and are largely for defense with hundreds of defensive turrets and missle silos. A monorail car shuttles citizens for location to location and runs within the perimeter of the towers. Also a large shield generator system has been constructed with the strongest known shields to date.
The Humankind Abh
04-11-2005, 02:26
The Glory has been finished while the finaly Victory Class Destroyer finishes engine testing and weapons tests.
Droid factories and Imperial Walker factories have been completed and beginning production.
An asteroid ring is being built entirely around the Abh Empire's borders for protection. There will be small areas that are opened for trade access but will be heavily defended. We appreciate the extra asteroid donations from the Neo Zeta government so that there will be spares to move as we see fit.

The Abh are currently working on a work horse ship. It's single purpose will be for ramming large capital ships. Armor will be crystaline mesh reinforced with highly refined metals. The hull will be covered over with bio-armor that has regenerating properties. The prow will have to be reinforced so that the ship has the ability to not be used once, but multiple times. The ship will be equipped with stealth and advanced camouflage devices so that the ship can be brought in close to enemy fleets.
Engines will have to be designed so that it's accelerating abilities are superior to all known ships and its agility is superb.

Secret IC: The ship design has been finallized: http://www.b5tech.com/miscracesgroups/EABlackOps/hybrid.jpg
The ship's prow is a wedge that will solid for about 100 meters thick. The outer coating of armor will be crystaline mesh which is stronger than any metal and it will be reinforced with solid hybrid steel which will keep the weight down so that the wedge does not rip off. The entire thing will be covered in regenerating bio armor.
To break through shields, the ship will be equipped with the largest ion cannon that it could fit. Taking the design from Abh Attack Vessels, the ion discharge will be in the shape of a cone where the point breaks through the shields and the rest pounds through to open a large whole. The wedge divides in half to reveal the ion cannon that rests with inside the ship. The wedge will then close so that the ship could finish its manuever straight through the enemy ship.
The fins on it's side will help with propulsion and can also used for cutting smaller craft as they will be made of the same armor and will be in the forms of blades.
The ship is going to be geared so that its agility will be an A+ so that no ship can avoid it at the last moment and it will be able to gain proper momentum and change directions in accordance with targeted ship.
Cost is expensive because of armor and will have to be produced slowly.
The Humankind Abh
23-11-2005, 02:16
SIC: The design for the command ship of the human forces within the Abh Empire has been finallized. It will resemble the Rambird (ship mentioned in the last post) but on a larger scale of 4km. It's main weapon will be comparable to that of a death star but without the capability of destroying a planet. So it is a scaled down version. This is to counter the ever growing size of ships like the Star Destroyers.
The ship will be powered by Hyperspace tap drives which will allow it to phase in and out of normal and hyperspace without forming a jump gate. The ship will also be largely organic allowing it to "swim" through space with six fins that are sharp enough to cut through outter hulls.
Underneath the organic covering will be crystaline mesh like the Victory Class Destroyers for reinforced armor.
Estimated time to completion: 5 years. (January)
The Humankind Abh
05-12-2005, 19:04
The Eclipse SSDs have all been completed are now fit for action.
The command ship that the Abh have been working on will be a living vessel with it's main weapon capable of taking out any large scale ship with about the equivalent firepower to the Eclipse's axel cannon but this ship will only be about 25 km long.

This is just going to turn into a page to list the stats of ships that I posses so that it can be used as a reference for other RPs.
Roil-class Assault ship
http://homepage1.nifty.com/sphere-design/bar/bar24l.jpg
Ship's Complement: 5 officers, 16 enlisted
Dimensions: Length: 270m
Height: 154m
Width: 105m
Mass: 204,500 metric tons full load
Reactant mass: 26,600 metric tons maximum
Propulsion Systems:
Main Power System: AMM-6 anti-matter reactor.
Manuevering Thrusters (12): Plasma core anti-matter reaction thrusters with steerable nozzles (2 each top, bottom, left, and right plus 4 front).
Reaction Mass Thrusters (2): Plasma core anti-matter reaction thrusters with two-dimensional thrust vector nozzles.
Gravity Control System: Clasnac GCS-35B mod 1 capable of maintaining a constant internal gravity of 4.9 m/s^2.
Plane-space Generator: RG24 Space-time Bubble Generator. This system generates a space-time bubble with a 330 kilometer diameter
Endurance and Mobility Limits:
The dry stores endurance for a Roil is 1 month maximum; after that, it needs to restock. Water is recycled totally, and if necessary can be drawn from the reaction mass tankage and intra-armor stores.
The Roil's all-energy armament allows it to engage in battle for as long as reactant mass lasts; typically one major battle.
Including regular refits, the hull is designed to have an anticipated lifetime of 40 years.
Parasite spacecraft:
1 Calicke
Weapon Systems:
Anti-proton Cannon (1) : Assault ships are essentially wrapped around these large weapons, which require more instantaneous power than their small anti-matter plants can provide. Consequently they rely on large superconducting rings to store the energy necessary to fire the weapon. Similar problems hamper their ability to cool the weapon between firings. If necessary, the anti-proton cannon can be fired more frequently, but this results in markedly reduced energy output and extreme barrel wear.
The anti-proton cannon's low rate of fire and short effective range are largely offset by the near-point-blank engagement ranges typical of Plane-space combat, high destructive power, and variable dispersal. Against warships the blast is typically focused to the tightest dispersal possible to penetrate shielding and armor; a 40 degree cone with the bulk of the energy in a narrowly focused pulse. In the anti-missile role the full power of the pulse is allowed to disperse to the full cone.
Primary Purpose: Assault
Secondary Purpose: Anti-missile
Range: Short
Yield: Variable due to range and dispersal settings.
Rate of fire: Limited to once every 30 seconds
Payload: Unlimited.
Laser Turret (2) : Extremely accurate, long range, limited in rate of traversal by the mass of the turret, incapable of firing off-bore. Capable of high rates of fire for short durations with more sustained fire at around 1 shot/sec. Extended single bursts are possible, though used comparatively infrequently. The power feed is through redundant links to the ship's main power plant, supplemented by on-mount superconducting rings.
Power levels are generally too weak to penetrate full power shielding with a single hit, but with multiple hits localized shield penetrations are possible. Note that the amount of energy deposited on the target is typically low if it manages to penetrate shielding.
Primary Purpose: Anti-missile
Secondary Purpose: Defense
Range: Long
Yield: Dependant on laser dwell time.
Rate of fire: up to 3 shots/sec maximum, 1 shot/sec sustained.
Payload: Unlimited.
Electronic and special purpose systems:
MS-3 Shield System
Plane-space sensors
Plane-space communications
Radar
Lidar
Datalink

Roth-class patrolship
http://homepage1.nifty.com/sphere-design/goth/Goth01l.jpg
Dimensions:
Length: 1282m
Width: 378m
Height: 382m
Weight: 12,320,000 tons
Reactant mass: 1,920,000 tons
Propulsion Systems:
Main Power System: 3 AMM-12A antimatter reactors generating up to 137.2 petawatts of power.
Manuevering Thrusters (24): High output plasma core antimatter thrusters with two-dimensional thrust vectoring, mounted in thruster arrays.
Reaction Mass Thrusters (8): Plasma core antimatter thrusters with fixed nozzles mounted in protected pairs.
Gravity Control System: Clasnac GCS-35C mod 4 capable of maintaining a constant internal gravity of 4.9 m/s^2.
Plane-space Generator: RG29 Space-time Bubble Generator. This system generates a space-time bubble with a 1310 kilometer diameter.
Endurance and Mobility Limits:
The dry stores endurance for the Roth is 15 months maximum; after that, it needs to restock. Extensive hydroponics provide enough fresh fruits and vegetables to sustain the crew indefinitely and provide a small supply for export to other ships. Water is recycled totally, and if necessary can be drawn from the reaction mass tankage and intra-armor stores. The torpedo magazines are generally empty after one skirmish. Railgun ammunition is typically sufficient for two major battles. The remaining armament is all-energy and has an effectively unlimited payload.
Including regular refits, the hull is designed to have an anticipated lifetime of 40 years.
Parasite spacecraft:
12 communications ships
6 shuttles
Weapon Systems:
MK89 Electromagnetic Gun (6) : This enormous 600 meter long weapon utilizes superconducting magnetic coils to accelerate a 25 ton terminally guided proximity fused variable yield fusion warhead to 0.1c. For surgical planetary bombardment, solid shells are typically used to prevent unnecessary radioactive contamination. If required, special shells loaded with antimatter allow for missions ranging from penetration of deeply protected bunkers to planetary area denial. Even a cruiser's power plant is incapable of providing this sort of surge power, and so enough power is stored in superconducting rings to fire the weapon twice before recharging.
Primary Purpose: Assault
Secondary Purpose: Planetary bombardment
Range: 10,000 kilometers
Yield: Variable settings from 5 megaton fusion warhead to 120 megatons. Kinetic impact energy is equivelent to a 27 megaton explosion if a direct hit is achieved; actual energy transferred is typically much lower due to blow-through.
Rate of fire: Typically 6 rounds per minute sustained, up to 10 rounds per minute.
4 bow, 2 stern.
Plane-space Torpedo (10) :
Spinal anti-proton cannon (1) : 1 mounted on the bow.
Steerable anti-proton cannon (4) : These weapons are smaller versions of the anti-proton cannons mounted by assault ships. Their size allows them to fit within a ball turret that can bear on targets up to 30 degrees away from the centered position. The addition of high capacity heat sinks, larger superconducting rings and the much higher generator output available on larger ships permits dramatically higher rates of fire, substantially increasing their utility as anti-missile weapons.
Like their larger cousins, these weapons achieve mission kills against missiles by irradiation rather directly destroying them. The anti-proton stream blinds missile and torpedo sensors with thruster control and antimatter containment systems often suffering catastrophic failure.
Due to the wide dispersal and lower power levels available, these weapons are generally considered a weapon of last resort against shielded ships; individual shots lack the energy to locally overload shields and penetrate them.
Primary Purpose: Anti-missile
Secondary Purpose: Defense
Range: Short
Yield: Dependant on range due to dispersion; typically fired at intermediate dispersion.
Rate of fire: 2 shots/second
Payload: Limited by the ship's power supply; effectively unlimited.
4 mounted on the bow.
Quad Steerable Anti-proton Cannon (4):
Retractable Laser Turret (32) :
Extremely accurate, long range, limited in rate of traversal by the mass of the turret, incapable of firing off-bore. Capable of high rates of fire for short durations with more sustained fire at around 1 shot/sec. Extended single bursts are possible, though used comparatively infrequently. The power feed is through redundant links to the ship's main power plant, supplemented by on-mount superconducting rings.
Power levels are generally too weak to penetrate full power shielding with a single hit, but with multiple hits localized shield penetrations are possible. Note that the amount of energy deposited on the target is typically low if it manages to penetrate shielding.
Primary Purpose: Anti-missile
Secondary Purpose: Defense
Range: Long
Yield: Dependant on laser dwell time.
Rate of fire: up to 3 shots/sec maximum, 1 shot/sec sustained.
Electronic and special purpose systems:
AS/25Y multimode phased array radar
AS/57A radar
AS/57C radar
AS/SLQ-154 phased array antenna
AS/LAQ-15D lidar
AS/SRQ-28 omnidirectional infrared imager
AS/SLQ-11 optical sensor
AS/SLQ-10 jamming suite
AS/SSG-7 datalink
DFS-13 Combat Shield System: Shield generators project an ellipsoid enclosing the entire ship, protecting it against energy, particle and projectile-based attacks. It also acts as a particle and radiation screen, deflecting or vaporizing objects and charged particle streams that might present navigation hazards such as the space debris commonly found in the orbit of inhabited planets, or a solar flare while in the inner system.
Extremely low energies are deflected; the higher energy attacks typical of modern combat vessels are absorbed by the shield and stored in large dedicated superconducting rings. Excess energy is then bled off to feed various ship's systems. If the energy absorbed increases beyond the ability of the superconductors to store it, the entire ring destabilizes and the shield collapses. While this typically results in no direct damage to the shield installation, it takes several hours to bring the shield back online.
The shield can absorb considerable amounts of energy, but highly focused or repeated attacks on one segment of the shield can cause a local overload and subsequent penetration. Any penetrations will be severely attenuated, resulting in minimal damage to the vessel.
Extremely high energy attacks and projectiles with penaids such as an antimatter torpedo or the warheads of a cruiser's main battery will easily penetrate the shield, resulting in the crippling or destruction of the vessel.
Additional Design Notes:
Roth class cruiser armament summary: 4 dorsal torpedo hatches protected by another retractable armor plate to the rear plus 6 ventral torpedo hatches to the rear. 4 spinal electromagnetic guns forward, 2 rear. 4 batteries of 8 retractable single mount defensive lasers (right dorsal, right ventral, left dorsal, left ventral along the main body, total of 32). 4 quad defensive laser turrets, one per engine mount (2 left, 2 right). Those quad mounts are *huge* - simple rough approximation shows at least 4.5 times the length of a Calike! 8 fixed reaction thrusters, mounted as 4 protected pairs. At least 4 high output manuevering thrusters (suspected at least 8), plus an unknown number of smaller thrusters for more precise movement
