Ship Designation: GANS - Reaper
Ship Registry: NX - 0091
Ship Class: Dreadnaught
Ship Size: 2.3 kilometers
Ship Crew: 38,780 (including hanger pilots and infantry)
Ship Weapons:

• x1 Anti Capitol Mass cannon - main weapon needs to be charged before firing - Requires Targeting
• x106 small laser turrets for point defence against ships and torpedoes
• x34 torpedoe tubes stationed at the rear of the ship can be used for mine laying

Ship technologies:

• Engine- The Reaper is in possession of a dark matter engine. Once fired up the engine never needs to be refueled. This has made it the flagship of Sigma. The Dark Matter Engine has the ability to Jump much like a FTL engine. However the dark matter engine is unstable if damage is sustained or its overloaded the Engine will implode pulling all matter within a 150km radius before expelling it across the stars.
• shielding- While The Reaper has nano-carbon plating that can absorb most kinetic and electrical impacts distributing it across the entire hull so lessen the impact. The shielding also conducts any electrical charge into the systems of the ship giving it a slight boost in output.
• radar - long range radar of up to 3 FTL jumps away.
• quantum communications- ability to communicate with ships and stations on the other side of the galaxy.
• AI - Trident. This AI is used purely as targeting of the ACMC as well as keeping systems from not overloading. The AI will only follow comands given by Titan or Ghost

Ship Appearance:

Notable missions:

• First mission - Operation Cat and Mouse
  
  with a small fleet of Frigates The Reaper tracked and disbanded a group of marauders in the glai System
• thirty fourth mission- Defense of Dry dock UEC Gamma 19
  
  A group of UEC Defectors use of the ACMC against a Battlecruiser was documented.

Other: with the reapers main weapon requiring charge up before firing, this leaves the ship defenseless as all power that's not linked to essential systems is pulled. for there to be maximum effect the reaper must be stationary when firing.
due to the immense size of The Reaper there is no way to hide the signature of the ship so any radar system can pick it up almost instantly.
Also due to its size The Reaper can not enter a planet's gravitational pull otherwise it will be pulled down and crash. this makes maneuvering the already difficult and slow ship almost impossible when near planetary bodies.

Name: "Ghost"
Age: 34
Race: Human
Rank: Captain
Skills: Excellent ground combat skills and leadership skills.
Away Mission Equipment/appearance:

• second generation assault armour - built in life support
• High caliber semi-auto assault rifle.
• 12 gauge pump action-shotgun
• kukri knife
• katana

Personality: Ghost was a cold and ruthless individual. He cares little for anyone other than his ship and crew but will respect someone/ship that has a skill set/crew. He will listen to all his bridge crew when formulating a plan of attack as he knows that acting solely without other perspectives is suicide. Once he has heard enough he will set in motion his plan and execute it fully.
When working with other ship he will also hear their ideas before acting. While he may not care much for others he still respects that they are all living and have families waiting for their return.

Quick-Bio: Ghost was apart of the Human deep space assault fleet. He started off as a standard marine serving upon the UEA (Unite Earth Alliance) ship called Blackstone. He quickly ranked up becoming Squad lead, completing several deep strike missions against hostile forces. When on a mission the Blackstone was boarded and the Captain taken hostage (later KIA) Ghost made a call to Return to the ship and retake it from these rebels. Once word had reached them that the Captain was killed Ghost and his squad breached the bridge and after a two hour long firefight retook the ship.
As the ship was crippled and more than 60% of the crew was KIA Ghost took control of the ship ordering the marines to complete the ground mission. After this had been complete Ghost took the ship back to UEA space for repairs.
Upon hearing about this the UEA promoted Ghost to Captain and later recommended him to be put through the trails for Sigma. Upon his acceptance he was transferred to the dreadnaught class: Reaper. A new dreadnought using a Dark matter engine.

Name: Alexei Yevvit
Race: Human
Rank: Fleet Admiral.
Skills: Yevvit is Tactician. Every move he makes is calculated down to a fine point. His motto is get it done fast with minimal casualties or not at all.
Downside to his brilliant mind is that he thinks he knows everything thus meaning other people's input will often get discarded. His skill is what landed him the be the Fleet Admiral of Sigma and is the voice of TitanHQ.

Away Mission Equipment/appearance: He never leaves the ship unless its to attend sore leave or any Admiralty board meetings.
He does carry however a pair of 3 Barreled Burst revolvers .45 rounds


Personality: Admiral Yevvit is Selfish, big headed and sometimes cocky. He only listens to those he respects and even then that is limited at best.

Ship Appearance:

Notable missions: None: She has been sent straight from the shipyards over Neptune.

Other: If she is using her gravity generator to stay in orbit she has to move power from her shields to keep from crashing into the planet. It requires a lot of work to keep her moving through planetary orbit. It is not an easy task. She is designed to be versatile for Sigma missions.

Name: Jacob Geary
Age: 27
Race: Human

Rank: Captain
Skills: Excellent at managing different aspects of captaining a carrier. He also is a decent pilot. He is great at hand to hand combat.
Away Mission Equipment: He usually does not leave his ship. He is a pilot by nature. It is rare for him to leave the Ptolemy.
Appearance:

Personality:
Jake was trained to listen to everyone around him. He hand picked his bridge crew because he meshed with them. Jake makes friends rather easy with his charming personality. Even when things seem to be at their worst, Jake seems so very calm. He can command different parts of his ship with ease and never seems to make rivals. He always votes for peace and mediation when he can. He dislikes when people are fighting.
Quick-Bio:
Jake Geary was born in orbit around Mars like most of his family. For some reason, the family Geary has space in their veins. For generations they have been in the numerous different human navies. By nature they love flying in space. Jake's father was a captain of a battle Cruiser at the time of Jake's birth. He grew up on ships either commanded by his father or Uncle. Jake knew that he was going into the navy some day.

Jake went to the Academy on Earth and learned the ins and out of commanding a ship. He showed that he had great skill for command and was granted command of a corvette called the Bristol. He fought in a few battles before he was given command of a new Assult Carrier called the Ptolemy. He knew he would be involved with Sigma.

Ship Designation: Mundus

Ship Registry: HYS-221

Ship Class: Carrier Class

Ship Size: 1.9 Kilometers

Ship Crew: 29,000

Ship Weapons:

• x190 short ranged laser turrets
• x54 missile launchers
• x24 torpedo launchers
• x120 fighters

Notable Missions: None. The Hypharin Starfleet decided to build the HYS-221 Mundus when Sigma was announced, modeling the ship after a vastly older ship, the HYS-220 World, which was destroyed many years ago.

The HYS Mundus is considered a vast improvement and a successor to the HYS World, being roughly 0.9 KM longer, being able to hold and carry more fighters, and other improvement in other areas such as the number of launcher bays (18) and number of turrets and so on.

Other: Because the Mundus is a Carrier class starship, the Mundus has over eighteen launcher bays, and most of the ship’s vast space is used to carry its one-hundred and twenty fighters that are on board at any given time – unless destroyed. The maximum capacity for the Mundus is an overwhelming six-hundred and ten Striker fighter. The Mundus only carries one-hundred and twenty Striker fighters, however, and will not be equipped with more unless the mission depends on it. Not only that, but it is very unlikely that all one-hundred and twenty Strikers will actually take off during a given battle, with the amount of Strikers taking off from the ship varying depending on the mission size – and on Captain Solarin’s decision.

Name: Einox Solarin

Age: 26

Race: Hypharin

Rank: Captain

Skills: Skilled tactician in space battles from the Hypharin Space Academy, yet no experience.


Personality: A rather kind yet unexperienced captain, Solarin was handpicked by the higher-ups in the Hypharin Starfleet straight out of the Hypharin Space Academy after they had seen his high marks and how well he performed in simulations – and the utmost respect and kindness he gave to others and received. While other captains may think he has gotten arrogant due to the high rise in rank, Solarin has instead become the opposite, being gracious for his new role. While he has no experience in real combat, he expects for both him and his crew to do their best in Sigma.

Biography: There’s not much to say about Solarin, other then the fact that he was born to a loving family and attended the Hypharin Space Academy as soon as he was eligible to join, becoming a captain right after he left the school.

Name: Sarah Loklan

Age: 29

Race: Human

Rank: Commander

Skills: Excellent shot, excellent tactician, medical skills


Personality: A commander (first mate, technically) to the HYS Mundus, she rather resents the captain for his young age and becoming a captain right out of school, but doesn't disrespect his authority or commands.

Biography: Not much is known about her, with her background files being classified in the system.

Away Mission Equipment/Appearance:

-Mech suit with 40mm grenade launcher and .50 Caliber machine gun. Enhances her motion, however, it makes her a much bigger target.

Personality: Generally happy and self-centered, Mariko is always vying to be the center of attention. Her genial nature allows her to easily make friends, however her garrulous tendencies often cause annoyance in those she is near. However, despite her relatively cheerful facade, deep down Mariko can be a serious, no-nonsense individual, especially when the situation requires her to take control. This serious nature can also cause her to have outbursts of anger when things don't go her way, luckily, she generally has enough sense to calm herself down before she gets too heated.

Quick-Bio: Mariko was born into a very wealthy family, which she cut ties with at a very young age due to a multitude of problems she doesn't like to mention to most people, such as molestation and other nasty acts. Mariko lived with her sister for a while, before she grew up and was able to join the military. After she completed her training, Mariko soon found that she had a knack for spaceships. While she didn't do much in the way of heroics, Mariko followed orders until the day she was able to give them herself, as captain of her own ship, the Mangudai. She is proud of the ship she commands, and was more than overjoyed when she found out that she was selected for this special project, Sigma. Mariko was ready for anything.

-Triple Tank Hybrid Engine: This engine is a hybrid of Antimatter, and Synthetic Helium- 4 (SH4). The engine is known as ASH4. The main engine runs on Antimatter. But there is another tank that stores the SH4. For Jumps and quick getaways, some of the SH4 and Antimatter is transferred to a third tank. The Antimatter causes the SH4 to become kineticly charged, causing a FTL propulsion.

-AI- Atlantis: Atlantis is the AI for the Riptide. She runs the computer mainframe, and all electrical systems. Atlantis also attends board meetings, and is like an advisor to the captain.

-AI- Neptune: A backup in case Atlantis malfunctions or shuts down.

1000 Pilots and hangar personal.

Ship Weapons: Missile systems, multiple heavy canons, using kinetic rounds, and hundreds of energy and kinetic weapons.
Ship technologies:
AI systems

Radar
Replicators

Ship Appearance:


Notable missions: The defense of Hephaestus.

Other: The Courage is a devastating ship even though it only has missile system the rest of it’s weapons are energy and kinetic based. With less armor and less weapons than a Dreadnought it’s faster able to fight with Destroyers and Frigates. It’s energy shields are stronger than the average Dreadnought yet if shot through would reveal very little armor. However with the ship having been built to house a lot more personal than it’s current does the enemy would have burn through multiple decks worth of metal to even hit critical systems.

What makes the Courage unique is that it’s size allows it to vary its purpose to that of the fleet. It can fight like a Dreadnought or defend like a carrier, even able to to perform as a repair vessel to an extent thanks to having dedicated engineers on board. It’s major weakness is to groups of smaller faster ships or other Dreadnoughts. It cannot win a straight up fight. It can also accompany strike groups and serve and draw fire while it’s fighters protect the ships near it.

He’s a team player and will crack down hard on those who don’t want to play by the rules.

Quick-Bio: James grew up on a distant colony on the very rim of known space. His home was one of the largest shipyards in the human colonies, Hephaestus, it decommission Colony ships and turned the materials into smallers ships. Hephaestus is renown for its fighters as well as the quality of the pilots they produce. James attended the planet's military academy training in all courses, while not the best soldier he is a genius commander and thinker.

When his home was attacked by pirates seven years ago he earned the nickname, Jack-boot. The commanding officer tried to trade the colony for his own life James shot him. After this he repelled the the attacker losing most of the defense cannons and fighters. He commandeered a colony ship and ordered it refitted with guns and additional shielding. When the pirates returned the faced something they had not expected, a ship of Dreadnought size. Opening fire with all guns the pirate frigates went down swiftly and the colony was saved. Jack then had the ship completely retrofitted as a Dreadnought/carrier hybrid.

She trained in ship command hoping to one day captain a Dreadnought. However at the battle for Hephaestus both her parents were killed and Knight saved her from launching in fighter to go out and try to avenge them.

She joined him on the Courage and they carried out the defense of the planet and was one few Ensigns to be promoted and given the ship. The Alliance looked favorable upon there crew as they had pulled off a miracle with a ship that was supposed to be destroyed.

Quick-Bio: Formerly a highly skilled and renowned commando until seven years ago an explosion killed his entire squad and took his arm. Surviving that he promoted and then promptly pushed out of special forces, after which he joined the Courage hearing tell that it need a good troop commander. Thus he took the best 3000 from among the men and formed the White Wolves, a large assault group able to break up and fight however needed. A versatile army for a versatile ship joining the Wolves is an honor only the best troops on the Courage get that chance. Each member gets a custom tattoo of a wolf howling in front of a moon to mark the occasion.

Name: Anna Skytte

Age: 27

Race: Human

Rank: Captain (Marine.)

Skills: Zero G training, close quarter combat, marksman, good engineer.

Away Mission Equipment: Energy pistol, pulse rifle, Magwell boots, personal shielding device, jet pack and standard armor.

Appearance:


Personality: Quiet, polite, and patient are words that come to mind first. Anna doesn't talk much and only to certain people bridge crew, Major, and her soldiers. If anyone else can get her to speak it's considered quite the feat, people fear her as much they respect her.

Quick-Bio: A Hephaestus native she was with the local defense force when Knight called them to action. Using an old shuttle she and thirty others boarded a pirate frigate. There are only three survivors from that fight Anna, the pirate captain, and a another soldier whom she rescued. Anna then formed the a group known as the Raiders, there task was to assault enemy ships and disable them.

Her mobile fighting force became famous on the ship and currently has 500 members, each one hand picked by Anna. The Raiders attack ships and try to do as much damage as they can then escape before they can be cornered. As such they use cut down weapons and are trained to shoot and move in space.

With the Courage having been fully built on Hephaestus, most of it's crew hails from that distant colony and mother planet, Mars. The crew has some of the finest and most technical soldiers aboard it, they aren't the best unit but there smarter than most.

Soldiers of the unit are issued an advanced combat suit with life support and impact gel layering. However these units do not have personal shields or generators on board therefore they are left charging when not in use. The weapons on board are mix of more modern laser weapons with cool cartridges and tradition guns. Thanks to on board replicators the troops call for ammo drops when ever they need them.

The White Wolves are a special force used as assault force better than the rest of the men. Used as an invasion force or defenders if the ship is attacked. The Wolves are lead by Major Matthews and selected as best all around troopers having no real specialty able to do every task well though they are exemplary fighting force.

The Raiders the special forces of the Courage, a task force for assault and disabling ships. Zero-g certified and able to board ships without the need for boarding craft and they always attack and retreat before the enemy can mobilize a response. They are lead by Captain Skyett who hand picks her troops, they work in units breaching attacking critical systems and getting out before setting off the devices. These have helped the Courage capture more ships than it's destroyed in career as a ship.


Engineers the backbone of the Courage, most Engineers wear what they please as no one messes with the people who fix what you break. However while working most use the standard protective gear. The backpack they wear is actually a fold out exoskeleton for work in space. Magwell boots for walking in Zero-G and on board long range radio's in case they drift off or get separated from a work crew.


Pilots, the Hephaestus colony produces some of the best Star fighters and pilots in all the colonies. Pilots and there gunners are highly respected on the Courage every ship has a name and a story. With that comes many rights of passage and learning to fly with no fear. Since the Commission of the Courage Captain Knight has had his pick of pilots from his home planet as such he only takes the best. There gear is standard minus any custom painting or modifications they make to honor there home.

Ship Technologies
Particle Impulse Engines - Instead of ion engines, the Aegis uses magnetic fields to produce a constant stream of high-energy particles, as well as to provide vectored thrust. It's so efficient that the tiny amounts of matter present in interplanetary or interstellar space can be collected through weak magnetic fields and converted into a thrust medium.

Experimental Inertial Flux Engine - By precisely controlling the quantum energy level of every atom on the ship simultaneously, the inertial flux engine assumes the inertial states necessary to produce motion in any direction. In effect, by operating the controls, the pilot chooses from instant to instant what vector the ship's atoms will next possess, and the inertial flux engine alters them simultaneously-along with everything else aboard, including the crew and passengers. An inertial flux engine does not operate within a planetary atmosphere.

Ion Pulse Cannon - The strangest thing on a ship of this caliber, squeezed into this Frigate is an intimidating Ion Pulse cannon while not as big as if it was on a larger ship, its destructive ability is still devastating. The freaky scientists behind this designed this weapon to be able to render ships of larger sizes like battlecruisers to be partially weakened after being hit by a charged shot by one of these, while for smaller ships to be rendered incapacitated.

Absolute Defense System (ADS) - Another experimental system for both the shielding and radar system, which hooks up 25 selected crew members onto the special system while the Ship Captain monitors them while doing his own thing. Hooking their consciousness the selected crew members can observe the inside of the ship and at the same time outside the ship during battle being able to sense up to 2 FTL jumps away. The ADS also has an AI program which effectively maps, marks and predicts before alerting all connected personnel of incoming attacks coming towards them. When in battle, the Aegis sets itself stationary as the engines now become generators to create extra energy during battle.

The shielding system on the Aegis however are the main focus of this experimental program, which involves the 25 members having monitor the ship's status and statistics while the Captain manually sets up the shields. It is the most powerful shielding system ever created to be put on a ship and can withstand a few blast from a larger starship with little problem. Creating purple hexagonal shields that overlap each other to form a defensive grid. This shield system is operated through a pair of keyboard controls, setting up effective defensive patterns based on the information from the AI System, which plots the trajectories of incoming projectiles.

The GANS Aegis is a ship full of experimental equipment with the funding of multiple scientific organizations who wish to tests these programs all in one ship. Making the Ageis a ship with a unnecessary ship full of space, as it's 700 crew leaves a third of the ship open for all these extra things. Meaning that there is more space that is going to be needed to cover, as all that extra space holds all the experimental equipment on the Aegis. Due to being a small ship with many things inside of it comes with many restrictions between the programs which will be listed

Quick-Bio
Ms. Remi was part of an unfortunate accident that had gotten her stuck in now what is now her new body. 16 years ago, Remi Evergreen was a normal girl who was going to school and working her butt off to survive in the ever-increasing world that was difficult. Her parents had ditched her early in her life and ever since then she was forced to do everything for herself. Not having much time for a decent life, she was just working everyone of her day for money. One day she was on her way on her every normal busy day, was knocked abruptly off a platform and fell, landing on the floor seemingly dead. Her body was broken and she was not going to live, she knew that as she was being taken to the hospital as her eyes were getting harder to keep open. At the hospital she signed a paper confirming to try and test out a new form of life-saving technique on victims as badly injured as her. Miraculously she did survive, but realizing it when she looked in the mirror she was now an Android, she grew conflicted feeling about herself.

Thankful the Scientist and Doctor had saved her, she quickly said her goodbyes and left before trapping herself inside the house to decided what to do now. Sigma hearing this break through contacted her and recruited her into the Navy where she worked and attended school at the same time. With a new found discovery of not actually needing sleep or doing any of her bodily functions anymore made her feel lonely. She occupied much of her time with work, as stamina seemed not to be much of the problem and she quickly finished her schooling in a record-breaking time. During these years, Remi had been doing things for the science circle, posting papers and thesis of her ideas was making her known in the science community. Her discovery as an android in the science circle boost her reputation up as there had been no one like her and soon one thing led to another and she was able to get their current ship, the Aegis.

Name: Rolgnar Cimmicks
Age: 62
Race: Human
Rank: Captain
Skills
-Experienced captain, capable of managing a ship in a time of crisis, as he has operated the ship in one of its notable missions and knows many of the crew members.
-He has to be somewhat skillful if he has managed to keep the Alliance from throwing him out as an old fart, in favor of a new young commander fresh out of the Academy. Skillful in piloting and politics...
Away Mission Equipment: Assault suit, designed for the ship's security crew and a few custom fitted for people such as the Captain.
Appearance: <pending... need a stroke of creativity here>
Personality: Calm enough to look perfectly normal in front of superiors, but rather blunt and sometimes rude when it comes to crew. He loves sarcasm, hates it when one of the crew members play the stupidly old game "Pacman" on duty and can seem too hyper when in a situation. Dispite these things, he can get the job done; and he has done it before. He loves to complain about the Alliance command when nobody's watching.

Quick-Bio: Born on a central alliance world, Rolgnar was always interested in ships. He went through the educational system with high marks in aviation and potential. This allowed him to pick up a job as a guard on the ship GANS - Jupiter.

On the GANS - Jupiter, he served for a few years before dropping out over a dispute with his supervisor and took several years of officer training. Although chances were he would be stuck on a frigate and be done with it, there was a slot open on the GANS - Phoenix, a ship of somewhat old design yet still high respect in the Alliance.

On the Phoenix, he lead several patrol missions before being deployed to settle a civil dispute on Karvon, where a rouge captain had commadeered a battleship. Rolgnar was supposed to have a backup, but the ship in question had critical malfunctions in the power core that went undetected during its construction, leaving the Phoenix alone with a fairly veteran crew and a rather green captain.

During the battle, Rolgnar made a good call with positioning the railgun at a spot directly below a heavily armored section that other crew members had failed to detect. When the railgun was fired, the spot was rather obviously a power core, as not only the ship had a massive explosion out of its left side, but all power went offline and the ship crashed safely into a frozen tundra. Of course, things would have been much different if the ship had crashed into a population center...

Despite the railgun wiping out the enemy ship, the Phoenix was left with heavy damage from the crossfire before that. It was taken to a nearby shipyard and repaired. The Alliance command noted that the Phoenix was bigger than the average battleship and re-classed it, in the meantime spending huge resources on giving it upgrades, including making the railgun into a new design designed for taking down large ships. Rolgnar for his actions in the battle was allowed to keep command of the ship, and so here he is today.

Ship Designation: GANS Nightfall
Ship Registry: NX-1779

Ship Class: Frigate

Ship Size: 0.58km

Ship Crew: 100
Engineers: 10
Crew: 50
Marines/Soldiers: 30
Pilots: 2
Medical Personnel: 3
Bridge Officers: 4
Captain: 1

Ship Weapons:
1. 2X Pulse Cannon Lasers.
2. 4X Antimatter Torpedo Launchers.
3. 5X Kinetic Halestorm Point Defense Cannons.
4. 2X Rear Mounted Antimatter Mine Layer.

Ship technologies:
1. Experimental Stealth Field Generator: This makes the Nightfall invisible to the naked eye as well as to radar, the downside it emits a very large heat signature which makes it visible to heat sensors, the shields are down to 20% when cloaked.
2. Sensor & Communications Scrambler: This can temporarily block quantum communications as well as sensor scans.
3. Decoy Probe: This is released from the rear mine layer as a small probe which can be used to trick missile and torpedo radars into tracking it instead of the Nightfall.
4. Experimental Hologram Emitter: Used by the Nightfall to mimic an enemy vessel's appearance for a short amount of time, but if it is fired upon the hologram will fail immediately. The Nightfall also must have full scans of a ship and can only take the appearance of another frigate of similar size and cannot take the appearance of any smaller spacecraft's.
5. Sensor Probes: Used by the Nightfall to send out scans of any star system that they are deployed to.
6. Shield Generators.
7. Dark Matter Engine.
8. Quantum Communications Array.
9. AI Sif Sif is the Nightfall's AI which she controls many of the more complicated parts of the Nightfall, also provides tactical advice when needed.

Ship Appearance:

Notable missions: Operation: Trojan Horse. The Nightfall's first mission and test flight, using a captured rebel frigate the Nightfall was used as a spy on a known rebel base which provided various scans of the base and the amount of ships that the base had. Though the mission was successful it was quickly found, the Nightfall quickly fled into a near asteroid field and used its stealth generator and returned to Earth. After the mission GANS sent a force to the rebel base and destroyed it, then the Nightfall was then assigned to Sigma.

Other:
Primary use of the Nightfall: Covert operations, stealth, recon, sabotage, and support.
Experimental Stealth Generator Weakness: Will appear as a major heat signature on heat scans, and shields need to be lowered to 15%-20% to cover the whole ship.
Experimental Hologram Emitter Weakness: Needs complete scans of an enemy frigate, can only take on the appearance of an enemy frigate of similar size, cannot take an appearance of anything larger or smaller then the Nightfall itself when fired upon the hologram completely fails.

Name: Erica Austin

Age: 35

Race: Human

Rank: Captain

Skills: Covert Operations, leadership, stealth missions, close quarters combat and hand to hand combat.

Away Mission Equipment: An A-18 Plasma Rifle, and C-6 Plasma Pistol, custom made plasma rapier.

Appearance:


Personality: Erica is usually very friendly and approachable and can be seen to be as a laid back captain when not on a mission, she treats the crew like family. But when she is on a mission she will become very stern to her comrades and will give out orders to her crew.

Quick-Bio: Born to a very wealthy family in Britain on Earth growing up Erica, her father was in the navy while her mother was a CEO of a company. Growing up Erica was never really close to her mother but she was very close to her father, as she grew older she decided to join the naval academy after high school where she quickly became a lieutenant. Her first assignment was a battle cruiser called the GANS Belfast, and then a few years later she was promoted to captain and given the command of the newly made and experimental frigate GANS Nightfall and then given her first mission Operation Trojan Horse which was successful and reassigned to Sigma.

Ship Designation: GANS Fading Light
Ship Registry: NX-0103
Ship Class: Cruiser
Ship Size: 0.6km
Ship Crew: 2250
Ship Weapons:
60 - particle beams
6 - forward facing high powered lasers
1- disruptor cannon experimental meant to take down enemy shields. The weapon causes shield power to fluctuate causing a resonate wave in the shield that builds causing damage to the shield generators and causing them to fail.
Ship technologies:
- Experimental signal projectors. These are used to confuse enemy targeting computers by sending false signals out into space which hopefully overwhelm enemy sensors.
- Long range scanners are located all along the ship with antennas doted all over the ship. They are top of the range and the longest standard scanners that are equipped to destroyers. If need be targeting information can be relayed to all ships in the fleet.
- Fusion reactors power the ships systems and are standard equipment along with the FTL systems and computer cores.
- Skin tight hull shields. This ship is equipped with skin tight shielding which runs parallel with only one centimetre between hull and shield which uses less power than conventional shields.
- Impulse engines are used for sub-light travel. The ship has excellent speed and agility for a ship of its class.
Ship Appearance:
Notable missions: Only one mission has been completed by this ship. The mission was to eliminate a pirate base with its two sister ships. They had all passed basic trials and a practical test was required. Mission was codenamed lightning justice. All they had to do was eliminate an asteroid base along with its fleet that had been taken over by pirates. Early in the mission showed good progress. It wasn't until half way through that the first problem occurred when one of the sister ships tried to fire its disruptor cannon which caused an overload in the ships power grid. It exploded a few minutes later apparently caused by a misalignment caused by some damage taken early in the battle. Her other sister ship was destroyed by stealth mines that the pirates had laid to defend the station. The Fading Light quickly moved into her sisters ship wake as the wreckage floated towards the station clearing a path for her. After they had cleared the minefield the pirates surrendered having no weapons left.
Other: A their are two major weaknesses of this class of ship. The first being its very thin armour which has been sacrificed for speed and agility. Another weak point is that the ships engine exhausts are unshielded meaning a well placed shot can cripple the ship.

Name: Tel Seven
Age: 27
Race: Android - Made by many races androids are a versatile and useful tool. However some are made just for entertainment or for people who just want company. Androids have keener senses than humans however they aren't smarter or stronger than humans. This is because the limited space means that their isn't much room for motors or an AI computer. Tel is part of a group of androids that have broken free from their masters and made their own place in the universe. Most leave them alone due to the planets they in habit being completely hostile to life. Their are currently seven worlds owned by the androids inhabited by ones of all shapes and sizes some even made up to look like aliens that only exist in fiction. They have only recently joined the alliance so they can prove they are real people and for protection.
Rank: Captain
Skills: Space warfare, basic ground training and entertainment.
Away Mission Equipment:
-Laser rifle and pistol.
-6 Grenades.
Appearance:
Personality: Generally Tel's sense of what is appropriate to say is none existent and will ask very personal and inappropriate things such as she can smell people's pheromones. Tel gets very angry when people call her a thing instead of a person or use it instead of her. Other than that most of the time Tel is very perky and happy most of the time. However when she is engaged in a serious situation she will act appropriately and stay focused.
Quick-Bio: Tel was manufactured to be a an entertainment android for a casino. They were going for an exotic alien theme for a new section they were opening. After five years of work she was deemed no longer useful being to old and not new enough to impress the customer. When she was sent to be melted down along with many others the shipment was intercepted by a group calling themselves The Android Liberation Force. A group that has been fighting for rights of AI in all forms but especially androids. They erased her safety protocols and the ones that stopped her thinking or deleting her memory every week. Afterwards she was taken to planet that was a safe haven for androids of all kinds even having their own government.

It took 15 years before Tel started to get her own personality something that would have been purged by her creators calling it an error. However she was a bit peculiar in when she talked to people as she had no boundaries. Still she was loved by a few people how found her oddness interesting. Later in life she felt the urge to give back to the people of her new home world so she signed up to the navy. It took 2 years of training before she graduated with honours having been described as very efficient. She was given the rank of commander where she served on an old frigate that had been procured from mothballed fleet. At the age of 25 Tel had proven herself to be a fine officer so she was chosen to captain the Fading Light during its experimental fazes. It was a year before the ship was ready to leave space dock on its first full mission. Unfortunately the mission incurred to many loses to be called a success with the Fading Lights two sister ships dead she was now the only ship of her kind and future versions of the ship were to be redesigned to be a more contemporary design. The Fading Light was kept in service with Tel in command. She was assigned to help the alliance when the androids finally joined and they fought giving them their outdated and problem ships was a good idea so they could keep their best at home.

The Fa’nay are artificial constructs built by a now extinct empire that used these mechanised warriors to war with each other, only to result in their entire race’s demise. The Fa’nay or ‘Vanguard’ which their name later evolved to plan to expand their own empire and create mass Data Hives to further their processing abilities.

Despite being tool of war from a hateful race, the Vanguards, much to the surprise of humans and other sentient lifeforms, the Vanguard actually treasure organic life and will stop at nothing to protect it, risking their own safety to do so.

-Omega-Class Data Hive (Coordinates Battle Units)
-Anti-Matter Reactor
-Sublight Engines
Notable missions: During a Human Mining-world protest, the local government began to open fire on civilians, the Vanguard quickly intercepted the corrupt government, eliminating all hostile forces.
Other: The Vanguard use a shared knowledge system in which all battle data is processed in each individual unit. However the Data Hive is vital of planetary missions, somehow disabling that will severely hinder ongoing operations.

Away Mission Equipment: Anti-Material Rail Rifle
Appearance:

Personality: REX-77 as of yet has no real emotional interface, however by spending more time with organic creatures, the Vanguard hope to evolve their base program to be more ‘lifelike’
Quick-Bio: In their attempt to make a more ‘organic’ battle unit that understands the values of life, the Vanguard began a Spectre program to create battle commando units, REX-77 was one of the very few successes that were able to be put on the battle front. Becoming ‘captain’ of a foundry ship was the Vanguard’s way of attempting human and organic military structure so see how affective it can be.
