Affiliation N/A
Leader(s)Michon Aurel - Colony ship Tar'ee
The ship is the back bone of the fleet. housing more marines and pioneers than the other three. the ship, unlike the others, appears built for aggressive actions. Michon herself is the de'facto leader of the colony flotilla due to actions in a mild conflict not so long ago. She is abnormally tall for her race with long red hair
Persons of ImportanceDuhn - Colony ship pijtu
A vessel of Hau design. It is the largest of the four and contains a large amount of machinery and colonists. . It is by far the heaviest armored of the fleet. Duhn herself is a typical Hau by their own standards, standing at an average height and having a common eye color.
Larfi - Colony ship Harak
Larfi is, like her ship, a scientist. Her life has been dedicated towards science and helping expand race. Her ship is of another races design but with many Hau modifications. She is a little shorter than most Hau and possesses a rare eye color, green.
Raki - Colony ship Powder 1
When you buy another races ship,, sometimes you get stuck with idiotic names. At first, the Hau had no idea what "powder 1" actually meant but when the older colony ship went up for sale on the market at a great price, Raki procured it. The ship isn't specialized in any way but rather it's a jack of all trades ship. Raki herself is a short, long haired seductress. Some call her a whore but in all reality, her winded voice and soft eyes hide her true, gentle and reserved nature.
Military/Civilian AssetsThe standard Hau colony ship comes equipped with a decent number of energy weapons and only a handful of kinetic weapons. The reasoning behind this is resources for large munition stores is hard to come by in deep space. This being said, each colony flotilla has the autonomy to procure its own resources such as the "Powder 1" vessel depending on circumstance. As it stands, the Hau forces on this particular flotilla has a wide variety of weapons from just about any manufacturer that is willing to sell.
The weapons unique to the Hau are quite advanced but low in number.
Primarily a basic pulse energy weapon, firing a near instant hit short burst beam. Most occasions, grazing shots will form life long burn scars. Distance does decrease damage.
A much heavier variant that is used mainly as a sniper or anti-armor weapon. It can fire a high energy pulse for sniping targets or a longer lasting beam for cutting into armor plates. The weapon has a very low rate of fire and takes a long time to recharge versus conventional heavy kinetic rounds or missiles. The biggest advantage is the near instant hit factor of an high powered energy weapon. Distance does decrease damage.
The Arado is more so classified as a assault drop ship but is used for many other purposes, construction, garbage hauling and many others. Its combat configuration is a single high powered Ion beam array and four dual Ion pulse cannons. two internal bays carrying Multiple rockets/missiles. Most have door guns as well.
This is the primary expeditionary armor. It mounts a high powered Ion beam array and a number of smaller anti-personnel ion pulse cannons. These are moderately armor but highly mobile.
Brief HistoryThe Hau themselves have an intricate history that is riddled with war and peace. Hau males have been the predominate leadership during their existence and all have been warlike whereas the females have always been the clearer of the two. The males are in all actuality, brutish and short sighted so when the great revolt took place, males were related to a role that a decent amount of other races males envy, Propagation tools. The men stay in specific rooms for the sole purpose of intercourse. They are fed and live comfortably but have no say at all in any Hau affairs.
The nation they hail from is advanced but far away. Colony ships are sent out on long distance survey and colony missions to spread the empire. the over-all goal is to build a massive way-gate are built allowing near instant transportation to the empire proper. Had the males been in charge, only military conquest would be seen but with the females, a far more reserved approach is taken. Most races that have encountered the Hau have integrated in over time, leading critics to believe that is their way of expansion.. absorb your foes.
OtherEven with the highly advanced parent nation at their backs, no race in this area has ever encountered the Hau. Their weapons are not actual front line Hau weapons but rather expeditionary tools that are designed for the trip and its small confines.
The way-gate is a massive under taking that would span many many years. Normal practice up until now is to recruit the natives of the region to contributing resources to build these massive devices. There are many veteran expansion forces that can achieve this act in record time but this particular group is new to this endeavor, therefore would take much longer to attempt building the gate. A thing to note is that if they do build and complete this, Hau main forces would flood the sector.
