Alrighty, I'll start making a CS.

Defenders of Cinix (A fun crossover) [Accepting]

Excuse me, I was looking for RPs to join and I found this one pretty interesting. May I have your permission to join this? @Raptra

Diddly Do

Before Ernest could successfully dock in the MASGC space station, his sensors picked up a distress signal. The signal seemed to be emanating from a starship that just came out of hyperspace, not far from Ernest's location. The craft also appeared to be heavily damaged and was seemingly drifting in space, as if its engines were disabled. Further scans show that the starship also has several robotic signals inside, along with one biological signature...

---

The first thing Meta saw when he woke up was the dark expanse of space.

As he slowly regained his senses, he realized that he was strapped to the pilot's seat of the Tempest and was looking out through the steelglass window of the cockpit. He slowly moved his hands to unbuckle himself, fortunately, the ship's indoor gravity was still operational as he slowly pulled himself up from his seat. Looking around the empty cockpit, he turned behind him to face the door separating the area from the rest of the bridge, he walked forward and slammed the button on the control panel as the steel door instantly gave way. He staggered towards the terminal, still recovering from the affects of traveling through hyperspace and sat himself down, taking a quick breath as he stared at the computer terminal in front of him. The display showed the less than optimal status of the ship:

------------

WEAPONS SYSTEMS - 15% CAPACITY
REACTOR - 17% CAPACITY
ENGINE POWER - 3% CAPACITY
DROID CREW - 15% CAPACITY
SENSOR ARRAY - 33% CAPACITY
SHIELDS - 0% CAPACITY
HULL INTEGRITY - 70% CAPACITY

------------

His mind raced, his vessel was crippled and he was stuck on an uncharted region of space. Faced with no other alternative, he broadcasted a distress signal to any nearby ships as far as his sensor systems could reach. Now all he had to do was wait and hope that someone out there received it.

Diddly Do

Meta

Meta

Name: Miko Lu / Codename: Meta



Age: 25

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Home world: Malakor, a remote agriculture and mining world located on the fringes of Republic space.

Appearance: Miko is 6 feet tall and has a lean build. Under the armor, he has short and spiky black hair with fair skin and black eyes.

Profession: Mercenary/Bounty Hunter

Personality: Most of the time, Meta has a serious and calculating demeanor, especially on missions. Outside of combat he still possesses that demeanor, albeit in a more casual state, not afraid to speak his mind and converse with people around him and occasionally crack a joke or two. Meta usually prefers to work alone and on his own terms, however, he respects authority when he deems the leader fit and is willing to work with a partner or a team if required.

Meta is cunning and witty, preferring to strategize and play his opponents into his hand rather than just charging in guns blazing. However, it doesn't mean that he completely abhors it as brute force can be as good a solution in some cases.

During his time as a hired gun, he developed a sort of code of honor for the missions he partook in, only accepting those which abided by his code. One of the provisions of said code was that he does not condone the killing of innocents, thus did not accept bounties on targets who he thought was innocent, as well as minimizing unnecessary deaths during his missions. However, when desperate times come, he will not be afraid to do whatever it takes to ensure he accomplished his goal.

Backstory: From his early years, Miko was trained by his father in the ways of combat, teaching him not only hand-to-hand combat but also swordsmanship and marksmanship. As he reached the age of 14, tragedy struck, A large army of raiders attacked the city he was living in, overwhelming the local defense force and pillaging the city. Both his parents were killed, fortunately, a close family friend rescued him and together they escaped. He then decided to join the TKR army, and achieved top honors in his class, eventually being transferred to ACA Trooper training instead. Even in a significantly tougher environment, he had no problem, ultimately becoming the best in his training batch and being assigned to one of the best battalions in the Republic army. After fighting for a few years under the TKR, he resigned. He then became a mercenary, an exceptional one as well, considering how well-trained and experienced he was. He built up a name for himself and soon was taking jobs from larger clients such as companies and governments, and even the TKR. Now he is regarded as one of the best in his respective professions.

Skills/Abilities/Feats: Meta is an extremely deadly warrior, and considered one of the best bounty hunters in the galaxy for good reason.

He is a master at close quarters combat, skilled with not only melee weapons but also his bare hands. He also has lightning-fast reflexes and is incredibly agile, even while wearing his armor. His favourite melee weapon aside from his body is his custom-made wrist blades, which are light, fast, and deadly.

Meta is extremely adept in marksmanship, in addition to his close combat skills. He has mastered many different kinds of ranged weapons, ranging from pistols and carbines, to sniper rifles and heavy weapons. His incredible speed in drawing his weapon and hitting his target should also be noted.

One of his key traits however, is his intelligence and tactical awareness. He is capable of hacking or slicing enemy tech, and can calculate trajectories and possible outcomes at remarkable speeds. Meta is also a skilled tracker, a useful skill when it comes to a job like bounty hunting.

- Kicked down a durasteel door off of its foundations
- Once shot a man dead from behind him without looking at him, instead using only the sound of his voice
- Disarmed a man and pointed his own weapon towards him in a blink of an eye
- Survived being crushed by the debris of a 4-story durasteel building while wearing his armor, before escaping and killing the mob of gangsters waiting for him outside right after
- Once killed 7 rogue Kalani assassins using his bare hands
- Shot two soldiers and disarmed their officer before any of them could even react
- Tanked a grenade explosion to the face while in armor
- Drew his plasma pistol faster than a heartbeat
- Able to dodge plasma bolts easily, even ones used by starships
- Wiped out a dozen military security personnel in a matter of seconds
- When he was about 8 years old, his father took him to the home planet of the Bakunawa, gigantic aggressive reptilian creatures as large as buildings. There, he managed to rip the tooth off of one in a minute or so using only a jetpack and a knife. The 7 foot tall tooth is still in his possession, as a trophy in the Tempest

Armament:

Primary: ME-622 Plasma rifle - Meta's custom, modified primary firearm. Assault rifle with great range and power and decent fire rate, has an automatic and semi-automatic mode. Can be outfitted with a sniper attachment if needed.


Secondary: ES-232 Plasma pistol - Also modified by Meta. Slow-firing, powerful sidearm, equipped with a stun setting.


Melee: Dual wrist blades on each of his gauntlets, made out of the same material as his armor


Equipment:

Full set of armor: Meta's suit of armor covers him from head to toe in a Malakium alloy, an incredibly rare and near-indestructible metal while weighing slightly less than most metals such as durasteel. This renders him resistant to many different weapons, heat, cold, poison and some explosives. The design of the armor also grants decent mobility and does so without sacrificing much protection. Under the armor, he wears a reinforced armor mesh body/flight suit that insulates him from the elements and disperses kinetic impacts. However, he is still vulnerable to powerful attacks such as armor-piercing weaponry. The armor includes his helmet which features a HUD, a targeting system, a sensor system, a pressure sealing system, and a retractable drinking straw.

Jetpack: His jetpack is remotely controlled through his helmet and is capable of carrying enough fuel for 5 minutes of sustained flight. However, it is quite fragile, one well-placed shot or a strong enough physical impact is enough to render it unusable.


Wrist gauntlets: Meta has one gauntlet on each arm. They both contain a pair of parallel wrist blades which are retractable and can be hidden inside its holding chambers when not in use. The right arm gauntlet also possesses a wrist-mounted rocket launcher and can carry up to 8 rockets at a time before needing to reload. The rocket has slightly more explosive power than an ordinary hand grenade, being able to take out light vehicles with one well-placed shot, but struggles against heavier armor. The left gauntlet also houses a dart launcher, which can be loaded with several different payloads, such as paralysis darts, stun darts, or poison darts. His left gauntlet contains a wrist-mounted flamethrower and a whipcord launcher, which fires a fibercord whip that wraps around and ensnares the target, rendering them immobile.


Explosives: Sometimes, Meta may carry additional ordnance if his mission requires it or if he feels like it. Choices include fragmentation grenades, flashbangs, stun grenades, poison gas grenades, remote detonators, and sonic imploders.

Theme:

Tempest

Starship:

Name: Tempest

Type: Large fighter/Patrol craft

Appearance:


Info: The Tempest is a Vanguard-class patrol craft. Meta had acquired one and heavily modified it, upgrading its weapons systems, maneuverability and durability. The Tempest stands at about 22m high and 80m long and possesses a tractor beam for pulling in smaller ships. The ship also has a crew of repair and maintenance droids which are supervised by a single upgraded ASP droid.

Armament:

- 2 Heavy plasma cannons, located on the tip of each wing. These are one of the Tempest's stronger weapons, with one or two shots, they can destroy smaller or equal size starships and cripple those even bigger. However, they were less accurate than lasers and turbolasers but make up for it with power.

- 4 turbolaser cannons, two located on the nose of the craft and one mounted on a turret on the top of the craft and one mounted on a turret on the underside. These were less powerful than plasma cannons but more powerful than ordinary laser cannons. They provided a good balance between speed and power, able to shoot down smaller ships while still packing enough punch to dent much larger ships.

- 8 Quad laser cannon batteries, located all around the ship. These are the weakest but fastest weapons. Serving as a point-defense system, they are able to pick off small threats but struggled against larger ships.

- 2 Ion cannons, located right beside the plasma cannons near the tip of the wings. These were used primarily to disable shields and the electronic systems of other starships.

- 2 Proton torpedo tubes, located on the underside of the ship. Mainly used to fire proton torpedoes but is also capable of firing other types of ordnances such as bombs.

- 2 Missile launchers, located on the middle of each wing beside the plasma cannons. Can be loaded with various different types of missiles.

Facilities:

- Bridge: The cockpit of the craft and the mobile command center are located here. The cockpit was as standard as any other starfighter, the only difference being that it was quite a bit larger and has more space to work with. The mobile command center is located behind the entrance to the cockpit, and features several computer terminals and a holotable.

- Quarters: The Tempest has four separate, identical guest quarters, not including Meta's personal quarters which was slightly bigger than the others and included a bathroom

- Miscellaneous rooms: The ship also has 2 public bathrooms, a lounge and a kitchen.

- Holding Cells: Up to eight different cells are present on the ship, used to detain prisoners.

- Hangar Bay: A somewhat large hangar bay whose gate opens on the starboard side of the ship. It can carry up to 5 smaller starfighters.

-Cargo Bay: A separate area from the Hangar Bay which is exclusively used to hold cargo and other goods.

-Armory: The place where Meta stores all of his various different weapons, also serves as a workshop when he repairs or cleans said weapons.

-Thrusters/Engines: The Tempest has three main Ion thrusters and two auxiliary thrusters, all located on the back of the ship. They are powered by a Titan-class solar ionization reactor located in the engine room near the back end of the craft. In addition to the sublight engines, the Tempest possesses a class 1 hyperdrive, only slightly faster than most other ships of its type.

-Shield Generator: Like any other large ship, the Tempest possessed generators which could create translucent energy fields. These fields were used to protect the craft by blocking or absorbing projectiles. However, these shields could be destroyed if enough damage was dealt and was especially vulnerable to ion weaponry.

-Sensor Array: The Tempest possesses a powerful sensor array that can detect targets from long distances and nearly any changes to the mass of the ship, such as a tracking device stuck to the hull of the craft.

-Hull Plating: The ship's hull is primarily made out of a durasteel alloy, with traces of Malakium.

-Escape Pods: The ship possesses 4 escape pods that can fit two people each.

Droids:

- ASP-160 repair droid

Appearance:


Info: At about 5 feet tall, this hovering droid is responsible for repairs and maintenance around the tempest. It is equipped with all manners of repair tools and sensor systems but it is unarmed. There are 15 units present aboard the ship.

- Instigator-class combat droid

Appearance:


Info: Used by companies as a security detail, these droids are formidable and deadly opponents. They are equipped with dual laser cannons on each arm, which are more powerful than standard assault rifles. To compensate for their weak armor, they possess a mobile shield generator capable of absorbing enemy fire. Meta purchased 5 of these to serve as his ship's security and as extra muscle on some of his missions.

Additional Vehicles

Additional Vehicles:

Name: Torrent

Type: Recon ship

Appearance:


Info: A small recon ship that was purchased alongside the Tempest, at a length of about 12 meters, it had a carrying capacity of 7 people. The Torrent was lightly armored and fast, its only weapons were two laser cannons on the front of the ship. It is outfitted with a magnetic docking clamp located on the underside of the craft that could attach itself to the Halberd near instantly.

Name: Halberd

Type: Siege Walker

Appearance:


Info: The Halberd is a hulking heavy assault mech, standing at 14m and armed with devastating weapons and thick armor. Meta had acquired this as part of a job, where he was hired by the Konzado rebel faction to aid in the "liberation" of the plans of these bethemoths, along with a few operational units from the planet's tyrannical government. As part of his payment, he requested one of the mechs to use as his own.

Armament:

- 4 Particle accelerator cannons, 2 located on each arm. These immensely powerful cannons can obliterate armored targets with ease, and can create explosions powerful enough to wipe away while divisions of infantry. Their only downside would be their relatively slow fire rate and can be overheated quite easily.

- 2 Ripper missile launchers, located on the sides of the cockpit. These fire a salvo of small warheads that can devastate aerial targets and even ground targets with ease. The Halberd can carry a large amount of these missiles due to their small size, and thus, makes sure that there will be enough for prolonged engagements.

- 4 Mass driver cannons, located on the backside of the mech. These mass driver cannons function well as artillery, taking out enemies from long distances and can function as a strong, although limited form of anti-air fire. The cannons, although powerful, have a slow fire rate. Manually exceeding the fire rate is possible however, doing so may cause the cannons to melt and collapse.

Additional Info:

- Heavy durasteel armor plating protects the Halberd, and can be replaced easily as the plates are modular. It also features a heat-resistant kinetic mesh which protects the pilot and the internal systems. The cockpit is pressurized and has a steel glass canopy, with a holographic display that shows data about the mech's systems and data from the battlefield.

- To make up for the lack of mobility, the Halberd possesses four thrusters located on the backside of the walker which give a temporary boost of speed when activated. The drawback to this is the fact that the thrusters guzzle down fuel quickly and thus can leave the mech vulnerable when out of fuel.

-Located above the cockpit, is a magnetic dock where the Torrent, or any other ship which possessed a similar mechanism, could attach itself to the Halberd.

- There is a cipher written down on the right arm, where the particle accelerator cannon is located. The cipher reads: "Slayer of the false god Hokum."

TKR

Terran-Kalani Republic

Dominant Species: Humans, Kalani

Government type: Federal Republic

Head of State/Commander in Chief: Supreme Executor

Executive Branch: Office of the Executor

Legislative Branch: Galactic Senate

Judicial Branch: Judicator Assembly

Military: Republic Armed Forces

Overview: Established approximately 150 years ago, the Terran-Kalani Republic or the TKR is an interstellar government created by both Humans and Kalani. They currently occupy around 64 planets, the majority of which are located in the Outer Regions and Uncharted Regions of the Diddly Do Sector. The TKR is relatively wealthy compared to most other galactic factions due to the fact that most of their planets possess much mining and agricultural value. They frequently trade with other individuals and organizations using their vast cache of resources, which they also use for constructing their buildings and armies. Although the two main species are the Humans and the Kalani, various different species are also found in TKR, for example, representatives of the Galactic Senate and those working in government jobs. The TKR also possesses a sizeable military, their notable strengths being their starship fleets and infantry. Although the TKR possesses a powerful military, they also hire bounty hunters and assassins for military or covert operations, one of their most notable contacts being the bounty hunter named Meta.

Kalani

Kalani

Appearance:


Avg. Height: 7 feet

Lifespan: 175-200 years

Homeworld: Kuntira

Overview: The Kalani are a race of humanoid psionically-gifted aliens. They are generally larger and live longer than the average human because of their denser bone and muscle structure. They possess no visible orifices, instead gathering nourishment from sunlight/moonlight and moisture from the surroundings through their skin, they also smell and hear through their skin. The Kalani also possess a remarkable immune system, giving them some resistance against poisons, hazardous gases and even the vacuum of space. Their greatest gift however, is their psionic power. With enough training or the right equipment, Kalani can harness this power and use it for a variety of purposes such as telekinesis and manifestation of materials. They communicate primarily using telepathy, which is accessible by all Kalani, even younglings, due to the fact that it is much easier to accomplish as compared to actions like telekinesis. The Kalani however, have a very low birth rate, and thus, are a rarity in the galaxy.

Infantry Types

Republic Assault Troopers

Overview: The Republic Assault Troopers were the standard infantry of the TKR. They were well-trained and well-rounded and present on every Republic world, wether it be as a military force or a policing one. Their training mainly consisted of marksmanship, hand-to-hand combat, and squad tactics. Trooper squads contain 6-8 standard troopers, accompanied by 1 squad leader (denoted by a black shoulder pauldron), 1-2 heavy troopers, and 1-2 combat medics.

Equipment:They wear armor made out of duraplast, which makes them heavily resistant to regular projectile weapons and glancing plasma bolts, while also being able to tank a direct plasma bolt or two. The helmet had a basic HUD and could filter out the air for impurities such as smoke, dust, pollen, spores, etc. but it could not protect against poisonous gases as effectively. The standard issue firearm was the ME-511 plasma rifle, a variant of the ME-622. The difference between the two was that the ME-511 was cheaper and traded range and power for increased fire rate. Their sidearm was the A-21 laser pistol, which also had a stun setting. They also carried two fragmentation grenades, and sometimes carry durasteel combat shields into battle.

-A-21 laser pistol


-Fragmentation grenade

Specialized Variants

Heavy Troopers

Overview: Heavy Troopers were Republic Assault Troopers that wore additional armor and specialized in heavy weapons. They were usually physically stronger as compared to regular troopers as they had to carry heavier weapons, such as the Z-85 rocket launcher and the D-11C plasma gatling gun.

-Z-85 rocket launcher


-D-11C plasma gatling gun

Combat Medic

Overview: Combat Medics are Republic Assault Troopers who have been given special first aid training, they carry a backpack which houses all sorts of medical supplies and are denoted by red crosses on their shoulderpads.

Hellbreakers

Overview: Hellbreakers are heavily-armored walking tanks standing at around 8 feet high. They are equipped with two forearm-mounted flamethrowers on each hand which are connected to a protected fuel supply on the Hellbreaker's back. They also come with two shoulder-mounted miniature rocket launchers, each located on their shoulders. They are encased in a thick suit of armor, made out of a durasteel-duraplast alloy, however, this comes at the expense of their speed.

HAM Troopers

Overview: HAM Troopers, otherwise known as High Altitude Mobility Troopers are experts in aerial and hit-and-run warfare. Their back-mounted jet propulsion units allow them to soar through the air or jump insanely high, and contain enough fuel for up to 2 hours of sustained flight. Their main firearms are dual X-19 plasma pistols, which overheat instead of running out of ammo, allowing the troopers to fire endlessly without having to worry of reloading their firearms. They also come equipped with ordnance for hit-and-run tactics, such as the standard fragmentation grenade, EMP grenade, and remote detonators.

ACA Troopers

Overview: The Advanced Command Assault Troopers were an elite variant of the standard Republic Assault Trooper. Although they were much rarer than the other troopers, they were some of the most skilled soldiers in the whole armed forces. Usually serving as the acting commanders of Republic forces, the ACAs were well-trained in many tasks, including but not limited to: hand-to-hand combat, marksmanship, sabotage, leadership, tactics, environmental combat, heavy weapons use, etc. They accompanied regular troopers on most missions, acting as elite shock troops and commanding officers at the same time.

Equipment: Aside from being better trained than the average trooper, they were also better equipped. They primarily used the NR-771 double-barreled plasma rifle, a more powerful version of the standard ME-511. They carried the ES-232 Plasma pistol and additional ordnance, such as fragmentation grenades and remote detonators. Their armor was also more durable, being made out of reinforced Duraplast and Ciridium, a metal which can partially nullify plasma and laser attacks.

Ubercommandos

Overview: Republic Ubercommandos were some of, if not, one of the deadliest types of infantry that serve in the Republic. Like their ACA counterparts, Ubercommandos were elite Republic troopers, trained in all sorts of combat and survival skills. Unlike their counterparts however, Ubercommandos specialized in covert operations as opposed to frontline fighting. They are usually assigned to missions which involve demolition, sabotage, reconnaissance, infiltration and assassination. They were trained and deployed in squads of 4, with each member usually specialzing in a certain aspect, such as slicing, demolitions, or sniping.

Equipment: Ubercommandos were usually equipped with C-17 interchangable weapons platforms, which was a plasma rifle that could be configured into 3 different modes. The standard mode is the plasma rifle, suited for close to mid-range engagements and had the highest firing rate. The second mode is the sniper configuration, where the C-17 has much higher range and power. The third is the anti-armor configuration, which can be loaded with different types of payloads, such as rockets and grenades. Their armor was primarily made out of Ciridium and Duraplast, and was also outiftted with cloaking capabilities. They also had a concealed Durasteel knife on the left or right forearm for melee attacks. Their ordnance usually consisted of fragmentation grenades, EMP grenades and remote detonators.

-C-17 standard

Republic Pilots

Overview: Republic Pilots are trained to handle all of the faction's vehicles. They were usually found operating ground vehicles and starships, but could also be found as gunners for weapons platforms. They were equipped with a personal plasma pistol for defense and a life support system.

Crusaders

Overview: Crusaders were Kalani warriors who volunteered to serve the Republic Armed Forces. They donned a special suit of armor, that was incredibly durable, fed light to nourish them, and had its own personal shield generator. The suit also harnessed the psionics of the Kalani to power their warp blades, made out of pure energy and able to cut through most metals with ease. Crusaders were usually comprised of physically-gifted Kalani in order to maximize the suit's potential. They were a rarity in the military, due to the inherent rarity of the Kalani, and only served on the most important missions.

Centurions

Overview: Centurions were even rarer than Crusaders, and instead were made up of Kalani who had exceptional psionic power. Their suit also had nearly identical features to the Crusader's suit, the main difference being that it was thinner and less durable. Instead of harnessing the Kalani's psionic potential into blades, they focused it into a beam of energy, which could decimate enemy forces. It could also charge up the psionic energy, firing a ball of explosive energy instead.

Ground Vehicles

H4Xa-89 "Persuader"

Overview: The Persuader is a massive assault vehicle which serves as the main battle tank of the Republic. The vehicle is 10 meters in height and 22 meters in length. It is heavily armored, with its armor made out of reinforced Durasteel and it can carry up to 50 troopers inside. It has 3 medium laser cannons located around the vehicle, a heavy plasma cannon on top of the cockpit, and two concealed missile launchers on each side. Despite its large size, the vehicle moves at an alarmingly fast rate due to its 10 large steel wheels. It is manned by 2 pilots on each side of the vehicle and up 4 gunners.

Dragonfly-class speeder bike

Overview: The Dragonfly is a speeder bike, usually used for reconnaissance purposes. It utilizes repulsorlift or hovering technology, which allows it to float over terrain, bypassing obstacles. It is equipped with two light laser cannons on the underside of the vehicle and can drop mines through a hatch on the underbelly of the vehicle.

Enforcer-class assault walker

Overview: The Enforcer is a single-pilot bipedal assault walker that stands at around 5 meters tall. It is armed with 2 shoulder-mounted medium laser cannons, 1 plasma cannon beneath the cockpit, and two missile launchers on each side of the walker. The Enforcer is suited for infantry support, anti-vehicle and anti-aircraft role, although it is relatively fragile.

PCF-56 artillery vehicle

Overview: The PCF is a self-propelled artillery unit that uses repulsorlift technology. It uses dual light laser cannons to deal with threats while in transit. When it changes to its artillery configuration, its repulsors change into gripping platforms which help anchor it to the ground, it is unable to move while in this mode. It is able to be equipped with various different payloads, but its primary payload are plasma shells which can cause massive area damage.

Starships

D-38 Avenger assault starfighter

Overview: The standard space superiority fighter of the Republic, the Avenger is a versatile and deadly craft, and has a length of about 6 meters. Its armament consists of two medium laser cannons, one on the tip of each wing and two proton torpedo tubes on the underside of the cockpit. The fighter is remarkably quick and maneuverable and possesses shields. Most Avengers do not possess a hyperdrive, but those who are assigned tasks which may require a hyperdrive, such as recon or patrolling, may be outfitted with one. This combination of traits make the Avenger a deadly force to be reckoned with.

A20 Stormbolt heavy fighter-bomber

Overview: The Stormbolt is a heavy fighter-bomber used by the Republic, and has a length of 16 meters. Its main role is precision bombing stationary or slow targets such as capital ships and space stations, along with bombarding ground-based targets. It had both hyperdrive and shielding capabilities, with its shields being particularly durable as compared to other craft of the same type and size. It had 1 dual laser turret behind the cockpit, and 1 quad-turbolaser turret below the cockpit. The Stormbolt carried a huge arsenal, ranging from standard proton torpedoes and concussion missiles, to seismic bombs and mines. Due to its relatively large size and weapon capacity, the Stormbolt had 1 pilot, 2 gunners, and 1-2 bombardiers.

Stalker-class Interceptor

Overview: The Stalker is the main interceptor of the Republic, and had a length of 5 meters. The Stalker had no shields and light armor, but did possess a hyperdrive and exceptional sublight engines, making it incredibly fast and maneuverable, even more so than the Avenger. It had 3 light laser cannons, one on the tip of each wing, and possessed a missile launcher instead of the usual proton torpedo tube. Stalker pilots are usually reckless and cocky, with some even claiming to be the best pilots in the whole Republic Fleet.

Planetary Altitude Transport Gunship

Overview: The Planetary Altitude Transport Gunship, also known as the PATG, or simply Republic Gunship, were the troop transports and weapons platforms of the Republic. They had 2 bubble turrets, each armed with a medium laser cannon, an additional light laser cannon on the backside of the craft, and a missile launcher on the top of the craft. It was manned by a pilot and a co-pilot/gunner and could carry 30 troopers in its troop bay. It could travel through both planetary atmosphere and outer space with its pressurized door seals and had a length of 28 meters. They were primarily used as troop transports and air support for ground-based forces. A variant of this also existed, where the troop bay was replaced with mechanical clamps instead, this was used to carry vehicles.

Marlin-class shuttle

Overview: The Marlin was a Republic shuttle, that was used as a transport troops, officers, and other personnel. At a length of around 17 meters, the Marlin was also heavily shielded and had a hyperdrive. It had decent sublight speed, and was armed with 2 medium laser cannons facing forward and a single light laser cannon on the back of the ship. It was manned by one pilot and one gunner, and could carry up to 15 passengers.

AV-66 Corvette

Overview: The AV-66 is a corvette used by the Republic that clocks in at around 200 meters. It is most effective at destroying fighters, bombers and other smaller craft. It was armed with 10 medium laser cannons and 2 turbolaser cannons positioned around the craft, it also possessed a point-defense cannon, which could shoot down missiles before they hit their target, but was ineffective against anything else. It had a crew of 80 and could carry and additional 40 passengers. It did have both shielding and a hyperdrive, and its sublight engines were remarkably powerful.

Reaver-class Assault ship

Overview: The Reaver was an assault-class capital ship which had a length of about 650 meters. Its role is to punch through blockades and land ground troops and vehicles. Its armament consists of 10 dual turbolaser cannons, 20 medium laser cannons, and 6 proton torpedo tubes. It had a crew of 1,050 and carried a complement of 14,000 troopers, 80 Dragonfly speeder bikes, 65 PATGs, 30 Persuader assault vehicles, 100 Enforcer assault walkers, and 25 PCF artillery units. The Reaver has an exceptionally durable hull, while having a relatively weak shield, it is also equipped with a hyperdrive that can traverse distances quicker than other capital ships.

Providence-II Star Cruiser

Overview: The Providence-II is a versatile multi-role capital ship used by the Republic and has a length of about 1,000 meters. The primary role of the ship is that of a destroyer and a carrier simultaneously. The Providence has three hangars, one on the bow of the ship, one on the port side, and one on the starboard side, this allows it to deploy smaller starships rapidly. It has an armament consisting of 6 dual heavy plasma cannons, 10 dual heavy turbolaser batteries, 35 dual medium laser cannons, 25 light laser turrets, 2 tractor beam projectors, and 4 heavy proton torpedo tubes. It has a crew of 990, and carries a starship complement of 410 starships: 190 D-38 Avenger starfighters, 95 A20 Stormbolt heavy fighter-bombers, 75 Stalker-class interceptors, 40 PATGs, and 10 shuttles. It also carries 10 Persuader assault vehicles, 30 Enforcer assault walkers, 25 Dragonfly speeder bikes, 10 PCF artillery units, and 2,000 troopers. It had impressive shields, and a decent strength hull.

Devastator-class Battlecruiser

Overview: The Devastator is a formidable capital ship used by the Republic. At a length of 1,550 meters, it was one of the largest ships in the Republic fleet. It focuses on offensive firepower, and thus had an armament that reflects that. It possessed 20 dual heavy plasma cannons, 40 dual heavy turbolaser batteries, 10 quad turbolaser cannons, 8 ion cannons, 30 medium laser batteries, 64 light laser turrets, 4 tractor beam projectors, 6 heavy proton torpedo tubes, and 4 missile launchers. In addition to what was previously mentioned, there is an extremely large ion pulse generator on the front of the ship, capable of producing an EMP wave which can disable any machine which requires electric energy in its line of fire temporarily. It has a crew of 15,000 and has a starship complement of 50 D-38 starfighters, 25 A20 Stormbolt heavy fighter-bombers, 15 Stalker-class interceptors, 30 PATGs, and a dozen shuttles. Its ground complement consists of 20 Perusader assault vehicles, 35 Enforcer assault walkers, 40 Dragonfly speeder bikes, 15 PCF artillery units, and 9,500 troopers. It is exceptionally durable, both in terms of hull and shields, but has a relatively slow hyperdrive.

Praetor-class Dreadnaught

Overview: The Praetor is the largest and quite possibly, the deadliest ship in the Republic navy. With a length of 3,000 meters, It is indeed a behemoth of a ship, bristling with thousands of weapons and can carry several battalions within its facilities. It is armed with heavy plasma batteries, heavy turbolaser cannons, medium turbolaser cannons, heavy laser cannons, medium laser cannons, light laser turrets, ion cannons, heavy proton torpedo tubes, missile launchers, and tractor beam projectors. It is also armed with the dual proton collider supercannon, an incredibly destructive weapon which can destroy capital ships in a single barrage and devastate a planet's surface from orbit. It has a crew of about 60,000 and carries several thousand starships and several AV-66 corvettes, while also containing hundreds of armored vehicles and about 30,000 troopers. It has an extremely durable hull and has impressive shielding capabilities, and a hyperdrive with the same speed as that of a Devastator-class Battlecruiser. However, due to its sheer size, weaponry, and facilities, only a small number of these warships have been built, with 8 currently being present in the Republic fleet, with more on the way.

Meta

Name: Miko Lu / Codename: Meta



Age: 33

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Home world: Malakor, a remote agriculture and mining world

Appearance: Miko is 6 feet tall and has a lean build. Under the armor, he has short and spiky black hair with fair skin and black eyes.

Profession: Mercenary/Bounty Hunter

Personality: Most of the time, Meta has a serious and calculating demeanor, especially on missions. Outside of combat he still possesses that demeanor, albeit in a more casual state, not afraid to speak his mind and converse with people around him and occasionally crack a joke or two. Meta usually prefers to work alone and on his own terms, however, he respects authority when he deems the leader fit and is willing to work with a partner or a team if required.

Meta is cunning and witty, preferring to strategize and play his opponents into his hand rather than just charging in guns blazing. However, it doesn't mean that he completely abhors it as brute force can be as good a solution in some cases.

During his time as a hired gun, he developed a sort of code of honor for the missions he partook in, only accepting those which abided by his code. One of the provisions of said code was that he does not condone the killing of innocents, thus did not accept bounties on targets who he thought was innocent, as well as minimizing unnecessary deaths during his missions. However, when desperate times come, he will not be afraid to do whatever it takes to ensure he accomplished his goal.

History: From his early years, Miko was trained by his father in the ways of combat, teaching him not only hand-to-hand combat but also swordsmanship and marksmanship.
As he reached the age of 14, tragedy struck, A large army of raiders attacked the city he was living in, overwhelming the local defense force and pillaging the city. Both his parents were killed, fortunately, a close family friend rescued him and together they escaped. He soon decided to join the military, getting outstanding results in training and fought for a few years before leaving the army. He then became a mercenary, an exceptional one as well, considering how well-trained and experienced he was. He built up a name for himself and soon was taking jobs from larger clients such as companies and governments. Now he is regarded as one of the best in his respective professions.

Armament:

Primary: ME-622 Plasma rifle - Assault rifle with great range and power and decent fire rate, has an automatic and semi-automatic mode. Can be outfitted with a sniper attachment if needed.


Secondary: ES-232 Laser pistol - Slow-firing, powerful sidearm, equipped with a stun setting.


Melee: Dual wrist blades on each of his gauntlets, made out of the same material as his armor


Equipment:

Full set of armor: Meta's suit of armor covers him from head to toe in a Malakium alloy, a metal which is extremely durable while also weighing a fair amount. This renders him resistant to many different weapons, heat, cold, poison and some explosives. The design of the armor also grants decent mobility and does so without sacrificing much protection. However, he is still vulnerable to more powerful attacks such as armor-piercing weaponry and strong explosives. The armor includes his helmet which features a HUD, a targeting system, a sensor system, a pressure sealing system, and a retractable drinking straw.

Jetpack: His jetpack was remotely controlled through his helmet and is capable of carrying enough fuel for 5 minutes of sustained flight. However, it is quite fragile, one well-placed shot or a strong enough physical impact is enough to render it unusable.


Wrist gauntlets: Meta has one gauntlet on each arm. They both contain a pair of parallel wrist blades which are retractable and can be hidden inside its holding chambers when not in use. The right arm gauntlet also possesses a wrist-mounted rocket launcher and can carry up to 5 rockets at a time before needing to reload. The rocket has slightly more explosive power than an ordinary hand grenade, being able to take out light vehicles with one well-placed shot, but struggles against heavier armor. His left gauntlet contains a wrist-mounted flamethrower.

Tempest

Starship:

Name: Tempest

Type: Large fighter / Corvette

Appearance:

(Imagine this but with dark grey paint and replace the red stripes with white)

Info: The Tempest is a Vanguard-class Corvette, originally designed as a patrol craft. Meta had acquired one and heavily modified it, upgrading its weapons systems, maneuverability and durability. The Tempest stands at about 22m high and 80m long and possesses a tractor beam for pulling in smaller ships. The ship also has a crew of repair and maintenance droids which are supervised by the ship's computer.

Armament:

- 2 Plasma cannons, located on the tip of each wing. These are one of the Tempest's stronger weapons, with one or two shots, they can destroy smaller starships and can cripple those at equal size. However, they were less accurate than lasers and turbolasers but made up for it with power.

- 4 Turbolaser cannons, two located on the nose of the craft and two mounted on turrets on the top of the craft. These were less powerful than plasma cannons but more powerful than ordinary laser cannons. They provided a good balance between speed and power, able to shoot down smaller ships while still packing enough punch to dent much larger ships.

- 8 Laser cannon batteries, located all around the ship. These are the weakest but fastest weapons. Serving as a point-defense system, they are able to pick off small threats but struggled against larger ships.

- 2 Ion cannons, located right beside the plasma cannons near the tip of the wings. These were used primarily to disable shields and the electronic systems of other starships.

- 2 Proton torpedo tubes, located on the underside of the ship. Mainly used to fire proton torpedoes but is also capable of firing other types of ordnances such as bombs.

- 2 Missile launchers, located on the middle of each wing beside the plasma cannons. Can be loaded with various different types of missiles.

Facilities:

- Bridge: The cockpit of the craft and the mobile command center are located here. The cockpit was as standard as any other starfighter, the only difference being that it was quite a bit larger and has more space to work with. The mobile command center is located behind the entrance to the cockpit, and features several computer terminals and a holotable.

- Quarters: The Tempest has four separate, identical guest quarters, not including Meta's personal quarters which was slightly bigger than the others and included a bathroom

- Miscellaneous rooms: The ship also has 2 public bathrooms, a lounge and a kitchen.

- Holding Cells: Up to eight different cells are present on the ship, used to detain prisoners.

- Hangar Bay: A somewhat large hangar bay whose gate opens on the starboard side of the ship. It can carry up to 5 smaller starfighters.

-Cargo Bay: A separate area from the Hangar Bay which is exclusively used to hold cargo and other goods.

-Thrusters/Engines: The Tempest has three main Ion thrusters and two auxiliary thrusters, all located on the back of the ship. They are powered by a Titan-class solar ionization reactor located in the engine room near the back end of the craft. In addition to the sublight engines, the Tempest possesses a class 1 hyperdrive, only slightly faster than most other ships of its type.

-Sensor Array: The Tempest possesses a powerful sensor array that can detect targets from long distances and nearly any changes to the mass of the ship, such as a tracking device stuck to the hull of the craft.

-Hull Plating: The ship's hull is primarily made out of a durasteel alloy, with traces of Malakium.

-Escape Pods: The ship possesses 4 escape pods that can fit two people each.

Droids:

- ASP-160 repair droid

Appearance:


Info: At about 5 feet tall, this hovering droid is responsible for repairs and maintenance around the tempest. It is equipped with all manners of repair tools and sensor systems but it is unarmed. There are 15 units present aboard the ship.

- Instigator-class combat droid

Appearance:


Info: Used by companies as a security detail, these droids are formidable and deadly opponents. They are equipped with dual laser cannons on each arm, which are more powerful than standard assault rifles. To compensate for their weak armor, they possess a mobile shield generator capable of absorbing enemy fire. Meta purchased 5 of these to serve as his ship's security and as extra muscle on some of his missions.

Additional Vehicles

Additional Vehicles:

Name: Torrent

Type: Recon ship

Appearance:


Info: A small recon ship that was purchased alongside the Tempest, at a length of about 12 meters, it had a carrying capacity of 7 people. The Torrent was lightly armored and fast, its only weapons were two laser cannons on the front of the ship. It is outfitted with a magnetic docking clamp located on the underside of the craft that could attach itself to the Halberd near instantly.

Name: Halberd

Type: Siege Walker

Appearance:


Info: The Halberd is a hulking heavy assault mech, standing at 14m and armed with devastating weapons and thick armor. Meta had acquired this as part of a job, where he was hired by the Konzado rebel faction to aid in the "liberation" of the plans of these bethemoths, along with a few operational units from the planet's tyrannical government. As part of his payment, he requested one of the mechs to use as his own.

Armament:

- 4 Particle accelerator cannons, 2 located on each arm. These immensely powerful cannons can obliterate armored targets with ease, and can create explosions powerful enough to wipe away while divisions of infantry. Their only downside would be their relatively slow fire rate and can be overheated quite easily.

- 2 Ripper missile launchers, located on the sides of the cockpit. These fire a salvo of small warheads that can devastate aerial targets and even ground targets with ease. The Halberd can carry a large amount of these missiles due to their small size, and thus, makes sure that there will be enough for prolonged engagements.

- 4 Mass driver cannons, located on the backside of the mech. These mass driver cannons function well as artillery, taking out enemies from long distances and can function as a strong, although limited form of anti-air fire. The cannons, although powerful, have a slow fire rate. Manually exceeding the fire rate is possible however, doing so may cause the cannons to melt and collapse.

Additional Info:

- Heavy durasteel armor plating protects the Halberd, and can be replaced easily as the plates are modular. It also features a heat-resistant kinetic mesh which protects the pilot and the internal systems. The cockpit is pressurized and has a steel glass canopy, with a holographic display that shows data about the mech's systems and data from the battlefield.

- To make up for the lack of mobility, the Halberd possesses four thrusters located on the backside of the walker which give a temporary boost of speed when activated. The drawback to this is the fact that the thrusters guzzle down fuel quickly and thus can leave the mech vulnerable when out of fuel.

-Located above the cockpit, is a magnetic dock where the Torrent, or any other ship which possessed a similar mechanism, could attach itself to the Halberd.

- There is a cipher written down on the right arm, where the particle accelerator cannon is located. The cipher reads: "Slayer of the false god Hokum."
