The Varion military is a a highly trained mobile strike force. On there own, they do not carry the capacity for a full fledged fleet battle, but a century of armed conflicts against a much larger alien force has taught the Varions to strike hard and fast from the shadows. Using mostly drone technology as a cost effective way to fight due to lack of fighters. Each Varion warrior is born, trained, and lives on their ship and or doing their job. This makes for a more elite force but lack in numbers. The Varions ships have all been fitted a cloak module so they may stay hidden in the vast emptiness of space. They also have shield generators that run off the ship's reactor to shield them from any fire and the use of speed as a further means of protection.
They have made three special modules that aid them in battle. One is known as the Blood Bond. The module links the Capital sized ships to share the same reactor power. Their shields quadrupling the recharge rate and doubling the capacity for every ship linked, but at a cost. No vessel can dock or undock from the ships for at least twenty minutes or until the ships break the link. This could leave fellow ships trapped outside to be slaughtered with no way to make quick repairs or re-arm. Also if kept running for too long each ship could have a potential for their reactors to blow, possibly leading to a nuclear detonation of the ship. The second is the cloaking device. This device is shared between all man piloted ships. It cannot be activated while firing or within two kilometers from any uncloaked craft or large metallic objects. The Third and mostly experimental module is the DOOM beam. This weapon fires a very thin long range laser, completely hidden from the human eye. Whatever gets painted with the laser will have all its electronic systems fried beyond repair. This weapon completely drains the Shields reactors and has only ever been used once in concert with two Bhaalgorns. Further side effects of using this weapon is still unknown.
Flagship:
Varion-Rex
Rex is built very similar to the Bhaalgorn class Carriers, besides in function. It can also cloak and share it’s blood bond, but does not carry the Varion fleet within it. Varion Rex is 16.3km long, besides multiple flak turrets, it carries only 6 gigantic weapon batteries. Two are Orbit-to-surface torpedo launchers while the other two are dual 1500mm Autocannon batteries. Its last weapon is what makes it mostly deadly of all. The weapon is known as DOOM.
Fleet:
The Bhaalgorn
A Ten Kilometer Capital ship. Only Seven of these legendary ships exist, each carrying the name of a large city in Galarion(Varion III). They are produced, repaired, and deployed on the ‘
The Pale', the third Moon of Varion III. These Super-Carriers are the main Force of the Varion Military. They carry and deploy all other military vessels to any engagement and are a strong weapon themselves. The Bhallgorn’s only true weapon are its scattered Flak turrets on its hull, but what it can do is more vital to its role than weaponry. The Carrier not only carries a large shield to battle, but the element of surprise. This massive behemoth can cloak it’s hull as long as its structure integrity is held, making it invisible to most radars and from direct line of sight, although it cannot hold its cloak while releasing Ships from its hold. The second weapon the Carrier holds is a specialized module carried by every Varion Bhaalgorn, known as the
Blood Bond.
Gorgon
The Gorgon is the only fighter Design used by the Varions. It is a fast, cloaked, and powerful Fighter. While the Designs look similar, many different types of Gorgon’s have been created to fit different roles on the battlefield. From either a quick interceptor, a long range bomber, to a slow but powerful gunboat. About 10,000 of these ships travel with each carrier.
Usually they are in Wings of 4. There is 5 Main Gorgon's used with appropriate codenames:
Gorgon X-11 (‘The Gorgon’)- Interceptor - Anti-Fighter
Gorgon X-12 (‘The Harpy’)- Long Range Bomber- Anti-Capital
Gorgon X-33 (‘The Griffin’)- Gunboat- Anti-Subcapital
Gorgon X-57 (‘The Chimera’)Troop Boarding-Anti-Capital
Gorgon X-80 (‘The Phoenix’)- Aerospace Jet-Anti-Infantry/Armor/Air
XX-280 Drone
The bulk of any Varion Fleet. This drone is not piloted by a man and instead controlled by the main Drone console on a Bhaalgorn. The drones are carried in the tens of thousands as flying ammunition. They are inaccurate and unintelligent, but they are fast. They usually travel in a long wave of thousands and fly directly at the target, either blowing it to smithereens with volley fire or crashing into critical ship systems. Truly the Strength of the Varion Fleet. About 50,000 of these drones are brought along in a Bhaalgorn.
