NAME:
Natshuk T'Zakiel

AGE:

RACE:
Ansulian

Possessing a physiology similar to that of amphibians, Ansulians are adept at both low light vision and swimming. Most stand at an average of 1.8 meters, have either smooth green or brown skin, and large pink eyes with lids that are seldom used. They're capable of breathing both in and out of water and face little difficult with functioning on land. Their most notable feature is likely their head-tresses, which grant them exceptional olfactory and pheromone-sensing skills. These tendrils are used to detect the emotional state of another being, and are most effective underwater. Within Ansulian culture, the ability to sense pheromone changes is an essential part of the communication process. All Ansulians have fourteen sensory tentacles and multiple hearts, which are capable of beating separately. Like their sense of smell, Nautolan language is also maximized for use underwater and not fully pronounceable in a gaseous atmosphere. Because of this loss in linguistic detail, most Ansulians rarely speak when traveling outside of their home-world. In addition, Ansulians often use communicative cues when submerged, such as reading the swirls in other Ansulians' large eyes.

Little is known about Ansulian culture, as few Ansulians leave their home planet due to its remote location. However, their music is often found amongst savvy music collectors, which is solely composed of sustained notes held in irregular patterns with occasional pauses. These pauses were considered the most important part of the music to the Ansulians, causing non-Ansulian listeners to misunderstand their artistic intent.

AWAY-MISSION EQUIPMENT:
TK-91 Resistance Suit
Made of a rubber-like material, the TK-91 provides protection against a wide range of toxic substances. The design consists of water-repelling scales that allow the wearer to swim easily, and has pebbled texture much like that of a golf balls in order to reduce drag. Electrofiber technology provids the suit with a wide range of built-in sensors. Referred to as "Smart Skin" in military R&D, data regarding damage to different regions of the body, including blood loss, can be exchanged between the suit and the user's intravenous nanomachines to create a feedback system. While it isn't bullet-proof, it does provide some ballistic protection to the wearer's body. The suit can also apply varying pressure to major internal organs to maximize performance and safeguard their functions.

MSTR-B8
A compact, usually accurate, bull-pup style submachine gun popular with the military thanks to its relatively small size, which is just above that of a standard-issue pistol. Fires three-round bursts, and can be pulsed for a higher rate of fire at the expense of accuracy, making it an appropriate weapon for close-quarters combat. However, it is somewhat weak against armored opponents.

APPEARENCE:
Traditional robed outfit common of Ansulian military officials.

QUICK BIO:
Natshuk T'Zakiel was born on the Ansulian home-world of Trek Gabsala to a family of farmers, many of whom would go on to become slaves to the Tresh following the planet's numerous invasions throughout 2198. After finishing school and working as a ship mechanic for nearly five years, he left Trek Gabsala for Earth in 2174, at the age of 25, where he hoped to become a general. Trained in the ways of the human military at the Galactic Academy for the Perseverance of Not Only the Humans but for the Other Good Guys As Well, his distinctive head tentacles contained highly sensitive olfactory receptors that allowed him to detect pheromonal expressions of emotion and other changes in body chemistry. This was indeed a unique attribute not afforded to any other species of the Alliance, either naturally or through mechanical augmentations, which were quite popular with humans at that time. Eventually finishing his training and going on to fight on a destroyer, Kit Fisto ascended to the rank of lieutenant . Not one to draw attention to himself, Natshuk studied the path of the commander, aspiring to become the Admiral of the Alliance in the future.

When the captain of the ship was murdered in 2189 by mutineers, Natshuk was promoted to commander and given command of the destroyed. While he did not know if he was ready for a ship of his own, Natshuk decided that pleading such a large craft would certainly improving both his performance in future altercations and the chances of him getting one step closer to admiralty. Winning numerous battles, he was in no hurry to take another ship, preferring instead to remain with what he was comfortable with. However, another craft, a cruiser in fact, would be in the young man's near future. After a year of acting as commander of a destroyer, he was called back to Earth to accept his new rank. In 2191, Natshuk was promoted to captain and provided with an all-new cruiser, the ANS Orpheus.

AWAY-MISSION EQUIPMENT:
ADAM-08 Virtuous Suit
One of the earliest suits developed by the Alliance, the ADAM-08 first saw use back in the 2160s. A black prototype, resembling an astronaut suit, is the most common variant, though many other colors and configurations exist. It also contains a gray knee brace on the right knee. The suit is made of a special bulletproof fiber and provides effective heat and moisture insulation, reducing both injury and stamina loss for the wearer. Its camouflage also functions well within a variety of different environments.

M-84 Revision
The Revision is a semi-automatic hybrid weapon with an assault rifle's low heat production and a sniper rifle's punch. Though it does not have a sniper rifle's precision scope, marksmen favor its increased power over that of an assault rifle to bring down hardened targets. Its lack of a full-auto setting is advertised as a feature rather than a shortcoming since it curbs a soldier's tendency to spray inaccurate fire under stress.

APPEARENCE:
Lieutenant's outfit popular with military officials of the Alliance.

QUICK BIO:
Fel Roals appeared to be like any other captain in the Alliance, piloting the destroyer ANS Protector with a small fleet under his command, including the famed cruiser ANS Independence. However, all was not as it seemed. By 2188, he had begun to take chances, selling military weapons and equipment to any groups willing to pay. He also began to contemplate defecting to Thresh provided he could get a suitably high price for his services. However, he was almost exposed when a leak allowed a fellow captain to learn of his potential treachery. Roals was aware that, if news of his deceit and possible defection were to get out, the Alliance's retribution would be swift and deadly, so he moved quickly against the opposing captain and had him murdered. An investigation into the captain death was launched, but the investigators were unable to identify the culprit, and the cause of the man's death was officially declared to be natural causes.

Shortly after an intense confrontation with a Thresh dreadnought, Roals had a secret rendezvous with leaders of the Thresh, and announced his intention to defect, promising that his fleet would defect with him. However, the meeting turned out to be an ambush, which resulted in the capture of Roals and the destruction of his flee. An Alliance squadron was quickly sent out to retake the imprisoned captain, and was, after numerous attempts, successful, returning him back to Earth in 2191. But, instead of receiving a commendation or whatever else he had expected, Roals was stripped of both his title and whatever fleet he was expecting, demoted to lieutenant, and assigned to serve on the ANS Orpheus.

SHIP WEAPONS
Turbo-laser Cannons (16)
The turbo-laser is the immensely scaled up version of the blaster and laser cannon. These weapons are generally mounted on rotating turrets. Turbo-lasers are heavy laser cannons equipped with large banks of capacitors, allowing them to build up and store far more powerful energy bursts than standard cannons. These capacitors give huge energy bursts to the beam, greatly increasing its power over standard laser cannons. They also help power the galven coils in the barrels of turbolasers. First, a particle beam is generated in the manner standard of blasters and laser cannons. Then even more power is achieved by guiding this laser cannon particle-beam through another stream of energized gas besides the one used in generating the initial beam to increase its power. The extra capacitors in a turbo-laser that store huge amounts of raw energy then contribute to the beam by energizing it even further as it moves to the turbolaser's barrel. The resulting beam carries roughly three or more times the energy of a standard laser cannon beam.

It then passes through a set of galven coils located in the turbolaser's barrel, even further increasing the beam's power, and allowing it to pierce the defenses of heavily protected targets. Because these weapons require extra time to build up energy for their powerful blasts, they tended to have a slightly slower rate of fire than their weaker brethren (usually around one to two seconds between volleys, depending on the type of turbo-laser and what power setting it was on). The risk of overheating is high due to this massive energy buildup, and many turbolaser models are protected with complex cryosystems and a powerful cooling sleeve on the barrel. Turbo-lasers are the primary weapons of capital ships. They were used for ship-to-ship combat or, in some cases, planetary bombardment. A single blast from a turbolaser could completely incinerate a fully shielded starfighter; however, due to their slow turret traverse and an equally slow period of charging up and cooling down, using turbolasers against fighters proves to be highly ineffective because fighters are too fast and small for a good target lock due to a slower rate of fire than point-defense laser cannons.

Point-defense Laser Cannons (20)
A laser cannon is the standard weapon for use by most starships and other vehicles. It exists in a myriad of forms, from the huge versions used by starships, through medium-sized turret-mounted variants, to the much smaller personal cannons sometimes carried by infantry. Although they were capable of causing a considerable amount of damage, they were no match to some of the more advanced beam weapons such as electromagnetic plasma cannons, turbo-lasers and super-lasers. Though based on the same principles, with their beams having a nearly identical nature, laser cannons are more powerful than similarly-sized blasters. Laser cannons were originally used by starships to blast debris, such as asteroids, out of their way. These cannons are both incredibly destructive and very accurate.

Heavy Ion Cannons (8)
An ion cannon is a weapon which fires highly ionized particles or highly ionized plasma. Ion cannons fire particles that seriously interfere with the operation of electronics and computer systems, shorting circuits and often disabling them outright, in much the same manner as an electromagnetic pulse. The actual physical damage sometimes results in fused joints on machines, due to the heat produced. Large negative-ion pulses are charged in a turbine generator then channeled into a plasma charge or released as a large pulse towards a target. As a result, ion cannons are the weapon of choice for subduing, rather than destroying, enemy starships, vehicles, shields, or droids. The ion cannon is not without its weaknesses, however. For instance, they aren't known for tight-beam accuracy, to the point that a ground-based ion cannon might hit the defender's own battle stations as well as its intended targets. Moreover, on capital ships, there are crewmen that can repair any damage done, which allows the vessel to continue fighting.

Tractor Beam Projectors (12)
A tractor beam is a projected force-field used by spaceports, planetary bases, space stations, and starships to effectively grasp and guide vessels to a safe designated landing. They can also be used to forcibly capture enemy ships. The most common use for a tractor beam is to help guide spacecraft into a safe landing at spaceports and docking bays, as well as to aid with the loading and unloading of cargo. Some ships also have personnel retrieval tractor beams enabling them to rescue extravehicular personnel. Warships boast powerful military-grade tractor beam projectors that can capture enemy ships. These high-powered force-fields can overpower their quarry's engines at times, to be maneuvered into a hangar or to hold them in position for boarding. A tractor beam relies upon the inertia of the craft it is based upon as compared to the craft being affected. Ships with high inertia, typically meaning high mass, can affect smaller vessels with little strain on their own propulsion. Capital ships can tractor small freighters, for example, but if a freighter attempts to tractor a capital ship, it would actually affect the smaller freighter's trajectory. For two ships of roughly equal size, the attraction is equal, but can be affected by the relative speeds of the two vessels.

OTHER:
Has two hangars located on either sides of the ship, each capable of holding up to four interceptors or similarly-sized ships (fighter-bombers, bombers, etc.) Everything else on-board is standard-issue. Let me know if you want to add some more info as to what this means.

Quick-Bio: Derrick was apart of a protection detail for a new colony ship making its way to an uninhabited Planet on the frontier ~ about a week before they was supposed to make Planetfall the Frigate and colony ship came under attack by a large fleet of pirates looking for slaves to sell on the black market.
As standard the Frigate engaged the hostile pirates, and in the 12 hour battle that commenced managed to wipe most of the fleet out. The colony ship managing to escape back into alliance space with only minor damage to the hull and a few interior systems.
The Frigate in the fight was badly damaged and in one last push was obliterated, out of the 120 crew only 40 survived. Derick woke in hospital one year later having undergoing cutting edge medical treatment saving his life in that of a Robot body - becoming a cyborg.
he was given the rank of Captain and his own ship.

Ship Class: Infinity Carrier Class
The ANS yellowstone is the latest in Carrier Ships ~ Capable of launching: fighters, troop transporters and bombers all the way up to heavy frigate Class ships.
the need for this new style of carrier ship came about when the idea was proposed that having an entire fleet of frigates jump to one location takes too much time and wastes so many resources even with the next gen FTL systems.
Thus the yellowstone was born. in the ideal situation the Yellowstone would jump to a location around ten thousand KM away from the target and launch the frigates. then hang back providing long range fire support and the availability to rearm the frigates in under 30 minutes.
The yellowstone has room for upto 12 Frigates and crew as well as their accompanying shuttles and fighters and bombers - as well as room for 150 fighters bombers and troop transports of its own

Appearance:

Quick-Bio: Alexander was born in New Ontario, one of the colonies. He was never that outstanding an individual, went to high school, college, expecting to live a normal life, like his parents and grandparents. Sadly no luck in finding 'the one' which was his biggest priority, but that was never a major concern of his. He expected to live, run the convenience store he owned, and not much more.

Then they met the Thresh Empire, and the war began. The Alliance was driven back, her colonies laid to siege. but it wasn't Alexanders problem until New Ontario was attacked, the colony laid to the sword by the Thresh. The Alliance fought, but were driven back. And Alexander was forced to watch from one of the last transports out as the world fell.

After that, he was a refugee in the Inner Colonies, living off the welfare of the state. But that wasn't a state of affairs he put up with for long as he enlisted, both to have something to do, to protect what was left of the Alliance, and to eventually retake his home. Joining the space forces, he was assigned to a patrol ship, before eventually being moved up to more important assignments rapidly as those people who were seen to be competent were shifted to where they were needed as the war grew more desperate and the enemy closed on Earth, the capital of the Alliance.

He distinguished himself in action at the Battle of Europa, where his daring maneuvers allowed some transports evacuating civilian population to escape destruction by the Thresh, but in contravention of orders. Because of his actions, he was given a promotion since the media wouldn't let them dismiss him, and made Captain of the ANS Mittnick, a support ship outfitted with EMC hardware and experimental cloaking technology. Sometimes he wonders if this was a promotion, or punishment detail

Ship Designation: ANS Mittnick
Ship Registry: NX-4268
Ship Class: Cruiser
Ship Size: 500 meters
Ship Crew: 620
Ship Weapons: 4 Missile Batteries, 4 Flak Batteries, 8 Particle Beam cannons
Other: AI Unit 'Firenze', ECM Suite, Sensor Suite, Experimental Cloaking Technology, stealth mines

This ship is an experimental support class. Initially designed as an electronic warfare unit, jamming, hacking, decrypting enemy communications, it was taken over by the R&D section of the Alliance to serve as a testbed for new technologies as the fight grew all the more desperate. It was equipped with new stealth technologies, to better serve in a support capacity against enemy fleets, via spying and ambush tactics.

The ship is currently manned by normal personnel, as well as a dedicated section of technicians, many of whom sport augments and cybernetics and are generally.....weird, in mannerism and personality. Still, their technological expertise is invaluable if any hiccups arise in the course of missions.
Ship Appearance:

Name: Zaxei Kavaris

Age: 25, Human Equivalent

Race: Etisa

The people of the planet Metix are descended from birds. Despite standing at 2 meters tall, and having no wings, much to their dismay, they are a rather fragile species. They have several hollow bones in their body, and low muscle mass. Despite having hollow bones and low muscle mass, they are capable warriors, and almost all of them are natural pilots. They are also often sensitive to certain matters pertaining to their lineage. Such as, their wings. They have none, despite being an avian race.

The Etisa are a warrior-race, their homeplanet was very mountainous and had few flatlands. They evolved on these flatlands, losing their wings as they didn’t need them anymore. Eventually, as their number grew, they were forced to live on more steep lands. Because of the sparse amount of flatland, wars over territory and accessible resources were very common.

They only got to a Medieval age state of technology before being thrust into the galactic community. While normally the Alliance would wait until a race reaches basic FTL before contacting them, the Alliance was forced to step in when a Thresh armada began to invade Metix. The smaller Alliance fleet was only able to evacuate a couple thousand before being forced back. While most of the survivors are looking for a new colony to rebuild their race from, a great number of Etisa swore loyalty to the Alliance, to fight against the Thresh. Although only a few was accepted, the rest was told to ensure the survival of their race and culture. The fate of the rest of the Etisa people is unknown.

Quick-Bio:
Zaxei was born on Metix. A world currently enslaved, by the Thresh Empire. Before the Thresh Empire destroyed the planet, the avian people there being roughly at a medieval age state of technology. When the Thresh landed on his planet in the skirmishes that occurred before the war, most Etisa thought that it was armageddon, that their gods had condemned them to death. Zaxei, being a much more grounded person and part of the army in his land, picked up his sword and began to fight, inspiring many more Etisa to do the same. He noted explosions in the night sky before Alliance security forces landed and began to evacuate them. It was at this moment he met the Captain of the Spirit of Water, and it was at this moment that Zaxei realized that his gods were not as benevolent to each other as he once thought. They had wars like his people did. And one god had sent their warriors down to save his people. Zaxei cooperated with the Alliance soldiers, and made it out as one of the few thousand who survived.

Zaxei was quick to swear his loyalty to the Captain, being one of the first to do so. The Captain then told him that it wasn’t up to him, but instead it was up to a council of representatives in the Alliance. Understanding, Zaxei requested an audience with this council, which he got. After a small debate, Zaxei, along with a few others were allowed in. He attended the Academy, only taking the tactical and space-warfare courses at the Academy, intended to get that out of the way, then moving onto the other subjects. However, war broke out and the Captain of the Spirit of Water personally requested that Zaxei be on his ship. Needing more bodies on the front, the Alliance allowed this.

During one of the opening battles of the war, the Spirit of Water took a heavy hit to its bridge, killing most of the Senior Officers, including the Captain. Field promotions were handed out, and Zaxei somehow found himself partly on the Captain’s seat. The deal that was struck was that he would command the ship in combat situations, while the First Officer would command the ship in all other matters.

Quick-Bio:
Born on one of the colonies near Earth, she had mostly a sheltered life. Because of this sheltered life, she craved adventure, the most obvious place to get some was the Alliance Navy. After she graduated the Academy, she got her adventure, and more. During her first year of service, aboard the Spirit of Water, she had to operate on injured Etisa. With no clue of how Etisa anatomy worked, she worked with what she could. Over the years, she became a much more experienced doctor, becoming the Chief Medical Officer of the Spirit of Water.

The Nautica Class Heavy Cruiser series started in 2185, discontinued in 2187, with roughly about half a dozen ships constructed. The Nautica Class Heavy Cruiser was primarily a hospital ship, with just enough firepower and defense to defend itself from attack. This allowed, in theory, for the Nautica Class to fly into an area under attack or under emergency and give large amounts of medical aid.

However in practice, the Nautica Class was undergunned and underarmored for these purposes and often found itself in more trouble than the trouble it was set out to solve. It proved to be an effective medical ship, just not under extreme situations, which it was built for. Nautica Class production halted after two years, and six ships. With existing Nautica Class ships being refitted as standard medical ships, Alliance Command deemed the idea of the “Combat-Fit Hospital Vessel” a failure.

Ship Designation: ANS Spirit of Water

Ship Registry: NX-1313

Ship Class: Nautica-Class Retrofit, Heavy Cruiser

Ship Size: 880 Meters

Ship Crew: 600 Crew, 170 Naval 'Marines' // 1200 Full Capacity

Notable Systems:
-Dual chamber Matter/Anti-Matter Reactor. A reactor typically housed in Battleships or Dreadnoughts. The Spirit of Water was given this reactor to power the Armor Emitters.

Notable Weapons and Offensive Systems:
-16x “Cascade” Hidden Turrets firing smaller sized Torpedoes. An invention by the Chief Engineer and Chief Armory Officer aboard the Spirit of Water, these rapid fire turrets were an unsanctioned modification to the ship. The turrets are hidden underneath the hull, when activated, panels open up, and the turrets are elevated to their firing positions. The turrets are placed throughout the ship to allow all 16 to fire forwards. The ammo of these turrets are a smaller scale version of the standard torpedo.

-11x Particle Beam Arrays (Strips), placed throughout the ship. The Nautica-Class Heavy Cruiser originally had 8 Arrays. The previous captain added 3 more.

-14x Particle Beam Emitter Turrets placed throughout the ship. Because the guys that control how guns are distributed in the Fleet didn’t allow the previous captain to add more Arrays, he asked for the older Emitter Turrets. When asked why he wanted them, he said, “I want to put them on independent turret systems, so I can throw them out the Hanger and they would act as independent defense guns.” Although it was a good idea, it was a blatant lie. He just installed the emitters on his own ship, for a lot more firepower.

-2x Forward Torpedo Launchers. These are standard issue torpedo tubes.

-1x Rear Torpedo Launcher. This is a standard issue torpedo tube.

Notable Armor and Defensive Systems:
-Dual Rotating Deflector Shield System. Originally designed to allow ships to get in close proximity to hazardous planetoids or even stars, this shield system has two layers of shields, each one rotating. Providing neither exceptional defense against energy or kinetic weapons, the saving grace of this shield system is its greater shield capacity to offset the average efficiency, and its ability to rotate so that damaged sections of the shields are moved away from enemy attacks.

-Experimental "Glacier" Ablative Armor Generator. Developed fairly recently as a quick way to uparmor underarmored ships to help prepare them for war, one Engineer had the idea of adapting it to give extra armor to already well armored ships, in the middle of a fight. The way this system applies extra armor is through industrial sized replicator emitters placed throughout the ship hull, like shield emitters. The replicators when activated, will replicate layers of ablative armor right on top of the ship hull. Different types of ablative armor are available, each type more effective against a specific weapon type. After the fight, the armor plates can detach from the hull of the ship. However due to the tremendous power drain the armor emitters cause, a typical way to supply power to the emitters is by diverting FTL Drive power, so that weapon and shield power levels are not reduced.

Other:
The Spirit of Water contains an armory, enough to arm the ship marines with proper combat equipment, and enough to arm the crew with basic survival equipment.
