Universe At War ((Semi-Lit Sci-fi War RP))((O/A))

[Drake Kirzan]

In the year 2300 man took its first steps into the stars. Using a new technology dubbed the Jump Drive, Humanity was now able to colonize planets light years from Earth. With Humanities eyes focused on the infinite expanse of space the nations of the Earth were able to put aside there differences and come together under one flag. The United Earth Nations, or U.E.N., was now the ruling body of Earth. The U.E.N. is ran by elected leaders that convene in a large council. Each old nation of Earth has a representative, much like the United Nations of today but with for more authority. The Armed forces of Earth were combined into the U.E.N.N., the Navy as it was called. Many people now believed the governments of Earth held far too much power and had had nothing to keep them in check, so hundreds of "Terrorists and Rebel groups", as they were called by the U.E.N. sprang up. They fight a ongoing guerrilla war with the U.E.N.

By the year 2500 the U.E.N. had founded over 100 colonies in different star systems across the Orin arm of our milky way galaxy. Then humanities first contact with Alien life, September eleventh 2501 21:00, standard Earth time, a strange unidentified fleet of ships appeared out of slipspace above Eden IV. The group of Alien ships ignored all attempts to hail them and began the subsequent bombardment of the planets surface. U.E.N. forces that attempted to drive the unknown aggressors back were easily overpowered by the advanced technology brought to bare against them. Within 36 hours the planets defenders were completely whipped out and every major city on the planet had been devastated by heavy fire from orbit. According to covert Intel the remaining human population has since been enslaved and forced into labor camps.

Within the next year the war had spread to 16 different colonies without a single U.E.N.N. victory over the creatures. Until the second contact with Alien life. A species of aliens much different from the first, they appeared in orbit above a contested planet and began to help fight back the invaders. This was the first time humanity had achieved a victory against the monsters. They have since opened diplomatic channels with the Human leaders and are considered allies. Only now does the War seem like it can be won. Only now with the help of brave men and women can the monsters be driven back. There is no retreat no surrender, the only option is victory.

The U.E.N. Navy Forces and Equipment

U.E.N.N. Space Marines

The standard enlisted foot soldier of the U.E.N. Marines are well trained soldiers that are taught to fight in all manor of environments and situations. They are adaptable and deadly. One year ago with the attacks on human colonies a draft was instated, now Marines are numerous and stationed on every human colony in great numbers. Typically deployed in Squads, six man groups. Known by the short hand "apes", a remark upon how they had to be either stupid or brave to join the Marines in the first place.

Standard Issue Equipment:

C-1 UGOA Modular Combat Armor: This armor is the most advanced defensive system ever produced. This armor is made of advanced titanium-aluminum composite plating over a carbon nano-tube under-suite that allows for a light but still strong and resilient armor. It is a Simi-powered armor, which means it helps carry it own weight. It has a helmet that filters out toxins and has a communicator, heat and night vision filter, targeting assistance, Tactical Mapping system and image enhancement all built into the suit. It is totally sealed and thermal shielded so it can protect a combatant even in vacuum. The built in re-breather gives 30 minutes of clean air, use after that point can lead to carbon-dioxide poisoning.

HK-147AR: This is the main line weapon of the U.E.N. It uses a new age cartridge to propel rounds down range. Instead of powder propellant the bullet contains a super compressed tank of combustible gas. This gas provides far faster muzzle velocities than previous generation weapons. It fires a .45 caliber armor piercing tungsten tipped round and carries a 45 round clip. It can be set to full auto, burst fire or single round modes. The weapon is designed to link with the HUD on C-1 standard issue armor.

HK-HPM-1: The typical side arm of the U.E.N. armed forces the HPM is a powerful weapon. It is a .50 caliber weapon with a 6 round clip. It carries tungsten tipped hollow point rounds, making it less effective against armor than the 147AR but far more destructive to an unarmored target. It too is made to link with the C-1 combat armor's HUD.

N8D Explosive Series: The N8D Series of Grenades ranges from Flash bangs to Fragmentation Grenades and is used by the U.E.N. Military.

Vibro-Combat Knife: Using a scalpel sharp titanium blade and an ultra-sonic generator the Vibro-knife cuts through flush and bone like tissue paper. The vibrations from the generator case the blade to vibrate at such a high frequency that it slips and saws through most materials with ease. Even being able to cut metal and rock with sustained force, however this is not recommended due to the fact the blade will dull so quickly it begins to shatter the blade.

RGL-7: Rotatory Grenade Launcher Model Seven is one of the more common heavy weapons employed by the U.E.N. With a six round revolver style ammo system and 35mm grenades of any type it is a favorite among many different groups. With it's power cell only used for sights, range finder, and built in radar it lasts for days before needing to be replaced. It is designed to fire any N8D series grenade making ammo plentiful on most battlefields.

RA-MS3 "Panther" Missile Launcher: The Panther is the Newest Heavy Weapon used by the U.E.N. Designed to link with the HUD of any trooper and play off of any TAC data as well as built in sensors and targeting system it is the most accurate and dangerous heavy weapon on the battlefield. The only shoulder mounted launcher able to fire a Valkyrie missile.

HK-DFTCS: The Drum Fed Tactical Combat Shotgun is the standard CQC weapon of the U.E.N. Capable of firing compressed gas powered Scatter Shot or Slugs it is a versatile weapon. It carries 30 rounds in its drum and can be loaded with incendiary or armor piercing slugs.


U.E.N.N. Scout Marines

A forward Recon unit of the standard Space Marine forces of the U.E.N. the Scout Marines are trained to utilize stealth and infiltration over normal combat techniques. Typically used as over watch, Intel gatherers or fire support they are usually deployed in pairs and act independently of the main space marine force. Known by the shorthand "Ghosts"

Standard Issue Equipment:

S-1 UGOA Modular Combat Armor: A very slightly modified variant of the standard C-1 armor the S-1 is made to utilize stealth. It comes Equipped with an active camouflage cloak and electronic and thermal shielding to make the wearer invisible to most sensors and visual scanning.

HK-SHTR: The SHTR or Super Heavy Tactical Rifle is a powerful .60 Caliber weapon that is the only small arms weapon in the U.E.N.'s arsenal to utilize "rail" technology. It uses that standard gas powered propulsion shell but also uses powerful magnetic rails to increase the speed of the projectile. It fires a Tungsten sheathed armor piercing round at speeds that can punch through armor vehicles with ease.

U.E.N.N. Shock Marines

Known as Juggernauts, Shock Marines are heaviest armed best armored warriors fielded by the U.E.N. They are clad in massive full-powered armor making them more like walking tanks than normal soldiers. The armor effectively quadruples the strength of the wearer and is made from far tougher stuff than the S-1 or C-1 armors. It however requires special training to use and is so costly they are far less of them than standard marines. They are deployed in groups of four.

Standard Issue Equipment:

A-1 UGOA Heavy Combat Armor: This fully powered combat armor is made from super hardened titanium plates and weighs well over a ton. The armor uses pneumatic powered motors to make the wearer strong enough to lift a car or punch through a brick wall. It does however make the wearer slow and cumbersome and takes very specialized training to use.

HK-MPLMG: The Multi-Purpose Light Machine Gun is the standard weapon used by U.E.N. Heavy infantry. It is a .60 Caliber fully auto weapon with a 200 Round Drumb. It fires the same ammo that the SHTR does only at a far slower muzzle velocity. The weapon is also equipped with a second modular mount on the underside of the weapon that can carry a heavy combat shotgun, grenade launcher or flamethrower. Depending on the users preference.

LOTIG: The Low Orbit Tactical Insertion Gear is used by U.E.N. Shock troopers. It allows the troopers to be dropped from a star ship in low orbit around the planet directly onto the battlefield. It includes a two piece capsule that is heat shielded to protect the soldier wile in reentry and a back mounted-thrust-er pack. The capsule, or pill as most soldiers call them, is ejected from the ship with the soldier inside and breaks away from the warrior after they have reached a predetermined altitude, then the soldier can use the "jet-pack" to maneuver and slow his decent allowing him to drop into the middle of a combat zone. Once on the ground the empty thrust-er pack is detached and the Shock trooper can fight normally.

HAMG: The Heavy Assault Machine Gun is a weapon for those Shock Troopers who want a bit more punch and rate of fire from their weapon. Firing a 60 Caliber AP round just like the MPLMG only with a much higher rate of fire due to its vulcan cannon set up and 600 round drum. The draw back is that this weapon is so heavy it even slows down a Shock Trooper and can only be carried wile in power armor.

HAAS: The Heavy Assault Automatic Shotgun is the cousin of the HAMG and suffers from the same disadvantages. However with the power to lay down a blistering hail of Automatic Shotgun slugs it is a deadly weapon and still chosen by some Shock Troopers for its sheer destructive power.

U.E.N.N. Psycho-naut

The most rarely seen soldier at the disposal of the U.E.N. the Psycho-naut is warrior that was inducted into the U.E.N. Psy-ops program as a child. The Psy-ops selects newborns that have the potential for psychic powers. The genes that are required to have these powers are one in a million and the child requires significant and intensive training and cybernetic enchantments. These warriors are trained all their lives and are extremely indoctrinated. They are taught to work independently and are usually solo operatives but on occasion and when in desperate need they are sometimes deployed in groups. These warriors have developed telekinesis from their training and are considered a bit unstable and dangerous by most normal soldiers. Called "Psychos" by most marines.

Standard Issue Equipment:

P-1 UGOA Modular Combat Armor: Very similar to the S-1 armor. The only difference is they are not equipped with the active-camo cloak and are equipped with two razor sharp deploy-able arm mounted vibro-blades.

HK-CQC-SMG: The Close Quarters Combat Sub-Machine Gun is the standard weapon of Psycho-naut troopers. It fires 9.mm hollow-point round. It carries a 50 round clip and has a silencer.

The U.E.N. Navy Vehicles and Ships

U.E.N.N. TA-MHT-201:

The Thruster Assisted Modular Hover Tank is the mainline battle tank of the U.E.N.N. This tank has modular weapons, thrusters, armor and sub-systems allowing it to fulfill many different roles on the battlefield with one platform. Some examples of this are: Light armor and more powerful thrusters, SRMs, a 80.mm Rail Cannon and Duel 20.mm auto cannons makes a nimble and fast light tank. Heavier Armor and lower powered thrusters, 120.mm Rail Cannon, SRMs, and one .50 caliber Vulcan turret makes a Heavy Tank. Heavy Armor and Light Thrusters, LRM Pods, Heavy .50 Cal turret makes a Anti-Air platform. It can even be converted into a heavy artillery weapon. This ability to become whatever is needed wile only needing a quick refit makes this vehicle indispensable to the units its deployed with.

U.E.N.N. TA-APC:

The Thruster Assisted Armored Personnel Carrier is the main mode of ground transport for U.E.N. Troops. It is a heavily armored and armed vehicle that can carry two squads of marines or one squad of shock troopers. It is equipped with Six side mounted .50 Caliber machine guns and one top mounted Quad Barreled 20.mm auto-cannon turret. That makes this vehicle a moving fortress.

U.E.N.N. Rhino Dropship:

The Rhino Class Dropship is the main Orbit to Surface transport for U.E.N. Marines. It can carry four entier squads of marines or two squads of Shock Troopers. It is fast and heavily armored and carries a nose mounted 20.mm turret to provide support fire and two Short Range Missile Bays. (Or SRMs)

U.E.N.N. Goliath Heavy Dropship:

The Goliath is a Heavy Dropship that is used to move Vehicles and other non-infantry equipment from and into orbit. It is larger, slower and far less nimble than the Rhino but carries even heavier armor. Its only weapon is a nose mounted 20.mm cannon.

U.E.N.N. Star Raptor Heavy Fighter Bomber:

The Star Raptor is a large and heavy armored fighter bomber class ship. It Can operate in vacuum or atmosphere and can easily transition between them. It is equipped with two Duel 40.mm Heavy Rail Cannons for dog fighting and two Valkyrie missile pods. Wile its rail rifles are slow to fire they pack explosive ammo and can cut enemy fighters to shreds.


U.E.N.N. New York Class Corvette:

The New York Class corvette is a small jump capable starship designed for anti fighter duty. It acts as a support fire and point defense platform. It has a small hanger bay mostly for loading and unloading crew. The ship is equipped with light shields and armor and is quite quick. Its armaments include X20 Duel 20.mm Vulcan Cannon Turrets with overlapping fields of fire to take down fighters and 4 Defender Missile bays. The defender missiles are designed to lock onto incoming enemy projectiles or small ships and destroy them before they have a chance to harm allies. However in very close range all of these defensive style weapon systems can be turned on larger enemy ships to deal staggering damage.

U.E.N.N. Olympus Class Heavy Frigate:

The Olympus Class Heavy Frigate is designed to be a powerful ship to ship combatant. Its a gunship with massive firepower. Wile it has heavy armor and powerful shields it has almost no point defense and their for rely s on New York Class Corvette escorts to protect it from fighters and bomber. It is nearly four times as long as the corvette and very slow. It carries x16 Heavy 500.mm Rail Cannon turrets and X4 Zion Heavy missile bays. It also has a decent sized hanger that carries a few fighters and transports. Its massive firepower lets it pack the punch of a much large ship but is helpless against smaller faster vessels.

U.E.N.N. Valhalla Class Battleship:

The Valhalla Class Battleship is the backbone of the U.E.N. Navy. It is a massive ship nearly a kilometer in length and carries a equally impressive amount of firepower. X40 Duel 20.mm Vulcan Cannon Turrets with overlapping fields of fire to take down fighters and 8 Defender Missile bays, X20 Heavy 500.mm Rail Cannon turrets and X6 Zion Heavy missile bays. It carries a full compliment of fighters and transports. It has super heavy armor and shields. It is an apex war machine and even carries a large retinue of ground forces.

U.E.N.N. Ra Class Carrier

The Ra Class Carrier is the largest Ship at the disposal of the U.E.N. It is nearly twice as long as the Valhalla but is night meant for ship to ship combat. It carries 12 Defender Missile bays and 80+ Duel 20.mm Vulcan Cannon Turrets with overlapping fields of fire however it carries no heavy guns. Its sole purpose is to carry legions of soldiers, vehicles, equipment and their transports to the battle front. It holds swarms of fighters and other support vehicles. It relys on a fleet to keep it safe wile it provides a platform for a planetary invasion and preforms C&C duties.

The Usari Empire

Additional Concept Photos:<{X}>, <{X}>

Physiology: The Usari are a species of carnivorous, cold-blooded, sentient reptilian creatures. A full grown adult Usari can weigh between four and five hundred pounds. Usari bones are far more dense and can take much more stress than human bones. The Usari are bipedal and are around 8 feet tall however they hunch over to around 7 foot. They have long arms that end with three fingers and a opposable thumb all tipped in long curved claws. The Usari have three forward facing toes and one back facing or "stabilizing" toe. The toes are also end with long razor sharp claws. The Usari's skin is covered in thick scales that act as a sort of natural armor, there pigmentation ranges from green to deep red. The Usari have very short stubby tails some ware between six inches and a foot long. The Usari have a organ very similar to the Jacobson organ found in earth snakes but it is located in the sinuses not the mouth. This gives them a extremely acute sense of smell. The Usari's mouth is full of long razor sharp teeth designed for slicing through flesh, it is also able to open its mouth very wide nearly 180 degrees similar to a hippopotamus The Usari also have large fangs in the back of their mouth that are used to inject venom into food items. The venom is neuro-toxic, It kills the neurons in the victims brain causing paralysis and death soon after. Usari muscle fiber is much stronger than humans in a fiber to fiber comparison. Usari have vertical pupils much like snakes and lizards, their eyes are always red or yellow. They have eyes that collect light and focus it at the pupil much like tigers, this allows them to see very well in the dark and gives the illusion of their eyes glowing.

Home Planet: Shalree, The closest planet to its star it is a warm humid jungle planet. The system has three other planets but they are all large gas giants.

Language: The Usari communicate in a intricate language of hisses and growls most of which are imposable for humans to reproduce, however the Usari do not seem to have a problem speaking any human language.

Culture: The Usari have a warrior culture that is ruled by a theocracy. The males follow a strict warrior code of honor. Respect and rank are gained by success and skill in combat. All males are expected to be warriors any other jobs are performed by females. Females are not allowed to enter combat under any circumstance other than a battle for their choice of a mate. They live in groups called broods, a family of a veteran warrior and his mate, their children and the ruling pairs siblings. Children are raised by the brood as a whole not just their parents so that they start on equal footing and gain favor based on skill not just who their parents were. Usari choose life mates, females chose and males have no choice in the matter. Females chose their mates based on the males skill as a warrior. If two or more Usari females chose the same mate the females battle to the death, this is very common in Usari culture. Only skilled warriors are allowed to lead broods or soldiers. Elders are respected for their experience that they have to offer. Death in battle is considered the highest of honors. The Usari believe that all other species are inferior. It is considered collecting a defeated enemies honor if the fallen opponent is eaten.

Religion: The Usari theocracy is based upon the belief in Nexado(also known as The Mighty One, The Death Bringer and The Shadow) a ancient god that has chosen the Usari as his people. He wishes the Usari to control the universe that he created, however his universe has been infested with heretics and the unholy. He demands that all those who do not bow down to his chosen people and worship him must be eradicated. His priests are known as Shades they are picked for their faith and there word is law. Control of the entire Usari Empire is given to the six Oracles of Nexado, they vote on the best course of action and then instruct the shades to carry out their will. The Holy Text "Sartanus Nexado" or Laws of Nexado is the source of this religion. The Laws state that the Relics are the remnant of Nexado's previous chosen ones that were not faithful to Nexado and fell from the path and were "dealt with". Any species that will accept Nexado's Laws and serve the Usari are allowed to serve as slaves.

Military: The Usari military is made up of all male Usari. The ranking system is based on how much one succeeds in battle, such as the number of enemies killed, the winning of a battle elect.

Know ranks from highest to lowest:

Oracles: A member of the Ruling body of the Usari. Religious leaders that founded the Order of Nexado. Even hesitation in the presence of a Oracle is punishable by death.

Shades: A member of the Order of Nexado, they are the ears, eyes and hands of the Oracles. The shades word is law.

High Crusader: The leader of the entire military of the Usari empire. He is the most respected of any Usari that is not a member of the Order of Nexado. The High Crusader has his own unique armor that has been passed down for generations.

Crusader: Is the equivalent of a Admiral in the U.E.N.N. They are in charge of entire Fleets of warships and the ground forces onboard them. Crusader's have Their own armor permutation.

Zealot: Is the equivalent of a Captain or a Field Commander. They are given command of warships or entire battalions. The Zealots have their own armor permutation. Their armor has purple colorings.

Champion: are equivalent to lieutenants they command several squads of brood warriors. or a squadron of star fighters. Champions have blue colorings on their armor.

Brood Alpha: Alphas are similar to sergeants and command one brood warrior squad of eight brood warriors or a small group of star fighters. This rank is indicated by green colorings on their armor.

Brood Beta: they are appointed by the Alpha and are merely the designated replacement if a Alpha falls in combat. Armor coloring is the same as the typical brood warrior.

Brood Warrior: The typical soldier of the Usari empire equivalent to a Private. This Rank is indicated by red colorings on their armor.

The Usari Forces and Equipment

Usari Brood Warrior:

The standard Usari foot soldier is a formidable opponent. They are well trained in military tactics and fight with are viciousness not seen in human soldiers. They seem to have no regard for life of any kind, killing women and children just as quickly as U.E.N. Solders. They bring advanced weapons to the battlefield and are quite adept at using them. They are most often seen operating in groups of four.

Known Equipment:

"Myrmidon" Armor: Called that for its similar appearance to ancient armor used by sword wielding warriors of earths past the armor worn by the Usari is far beyond anything humanity could hope to produce. It weighs nearly nothing and is as tough as any heavy metal plating we can create. It is flexible and does not seem to hinder movement, and seems to provide every function U.E.N. combat armor can only far better in all aspects. Its most striking feature is that it provides a light magnetic shield to its wearer. The shield can absorb light fire before breaking and has so far given them an edge in infantry combat.

"Striker" Plasma Rifle: The Striker is the standard and most commonly used infantry weapon possessed by the Usari. It fires high heat, high energy beams of plasma that can cut through stone and steel with ease. It can only fire for short bursts or it seems to overheat but it is a lethal weapon. It also seems to use a energy source that seems to work much like a ammo clip, it uses up the energy in the pack and then it is removed and replaced. It also seems to have a overload function that overloads the power pack and weapon resulting in a massive explosion.

"Stinger" Plasma Pistol: The stinger is the side arm of Usari soldiers. Instead of a beam of plasma it fires compressed balls of the energy. These are just as dangerous as the beams fired from the rifle however they suffer from drooping and get very unstable at longer distances. Making them only really useful in close range. It too has an overload function.

"Talon" Anti-Matter Rifle: The Talon is the equivalent of the Usari sniper rifle. It is equipped with a long range scope and is very very accurate. It projects a compressed and contained ball of positrons at high speeds. On contact with a surface the anti-protons "annihilate" causing a high powered explosion that has been known to punch through a tank and kill those inside with ease.

Plasma Saber: Only seen in the possession of what appears to be leaders of the Usari the Plasma Saber is a extremely powerful weapon. The handle of the sword projects a blade of high heat plasma that can cut through nearly anything. When in the hands of a trained Usari warrior it is a terrifying weapon that puts fear in anyone close by.

Whip Grenade: The Usari Whip grenade is effective at taking out groups of infantry, flushing enemies from cover and destroying vehicles. When activated and thrown it projects two long "Whips" of plasma and hovers. As it hovers it spins very quickly lashing, cutting and burning everything close to it to pieces.

The Usari Vehicles and Ships

Usari "Hunter" Anti Gravity Tank:
The Usari tank uses for more sophisticated technology than U.E.N. hover tanks, however it accomplishes the same thing. All terrain, fast and powerful. The Usari tank is heavily armored and still super fast. It carries a very unique main gun, a long range plasma based mortar. The weapon fires a ball of plasma that bursts mid way through its arch and rains super heated energy down over a target area, making it super effective at taking out infantry at a distance. It is also used as an anti air weapon, filling the sky with streaks of plasma much like a flack cannon. It also carries two plasma lance turrets for killing off anything that gets too close.

Usari "Razor" Fighter-Bomber:
The Razor is a nimble and very fast starfighter. It is heavily armed and dangerous but lightly armored, dangerous and deployed in huge numbers but easy to take down individually. It is equipped with two plasma lance projectors for dog fighting and a plasmid torpedo bay. This missile like projectile homes in on a target and melts into a targets armor just before it explodes. Dealing massive damage to any target it hits.

Usari "Immortal" Heavy Transport:
The Immortal is a heavy transport used by the Usari to move troops, vehicles and equipment from their starships to the surface of the planet or back again. It is super heavily armored and is capable of carrying six squads of warriors, two Hunter tanks or one Predator combat walker. It is equipped with a pair of plasma lance turrets mounted under its wings but that is its only weapons. It is usually escorted by Razor fighters.

Usari "Predator" Heavy Combat Walker:
The Predator is a towering titan on the battlefield, it is heavily armored and is even equipped with a hardened energy shield. The walker carries four nose mounted Plasma lance projectors and two independent turreted pairs on the sides. The walker requires four pilots to function and has an internal bay that can house two squads of warriors. While its body is heavily armored and it does boast a shield its weak point is its long spindlely legs.

Usari "Executor" Class Corvette:
The Executor is similar in size and function to the New York Class Corvette. Used as support for lager ships and usually fulfills a anti-fighter role. It is lightly armored and shielded and is equipped with X14 Plasma Lance Projector Turrets for cutting apart enemy fighters that get too close.

Usari "Cerberus" Class Heavy Frigate:
Larger in size then the Olympus class human frigate it still however fulfills a similar role. It is heavily armored and shielded and brings X2 Plasmid Torpedo Bays and X14 Heavy Plasma Lance Projectors for point defence and X8 Anti-matter Cannons for ship to ship combat. It is a heavy weight ship that is very dangerous. It also carries a compliment of fighters.

Usari "Behemoth" Class Carrier:
Tho its function is the same as the Ra it is about half the size. The mind set of the Usari is to field more than one smaller carriers instead of one massive one. The Behemoth carries weapons however, and is equal in strength to a Valhalla in terms of firepower. It is heavily armored and shielded and carries X30 Plasma Lance Projectors for point defense and X6 Plasmid Torpedo bays and X12 Anti-Matter Cannons. This ship also carries planetary invasion forces and transports. It is the back bone of the Usari navy and the most common heavy ship.

Usari "Tarasque" Class Flagship:
Seen very rarely and known to be the largest and most deadly of all Usari battleships the Tarasque is a nightmare to U.E.N. Fleets. It is over three kilometers in length and dwarfs even the Ra class Carrier. Its shields and armor are so heavy the U.E.N. has yet to destroy one in any engagement. It brings X8 Super Heavy Anti-Matter Cannons into battle mounted on its nose. Along the sides it has X100 light plasma lances to defend it from smaller ships and anything that gets around its massive forward firing arc. It is equipped with at least X10 Plasmid Torpedo bays and carries the equivalent of three Behemoths of troops and fighters into a battle. It is like a fleet in and of its self.

The Garul Empire

Home Planet: Garuke, a near earth sized planet with very similar gravity. It is the in the hotter area of the habitable zone of its sun and has a noticeably higher temperature. It is the second planet from its sun and four other planets make up the solar system It is mostly cover by oceans and has three continents, most of the land on Garkue is swamps and jungles. It is a very humid planet.
The planet's three continents are as follows; Unbar the southernmost and coolest, Jumblim the middle and largest it sits on the equator, and Ylkin the northernmost. They are all only separated but a few hundred miles of ocean.
The only large industrial city is Zim, the capital city of the world and easily the largest city on the planet. The rest of the planet is covered with smaller towns and villages that are designed to have as little impact on the environment as possible.

Average Lifespan: 80 standard years/80 standard years

Average Weight: 140-160 Lbs/100-120 Lbs

Average Height: 5'8-6'2/5'0-5'5

Possible Eye colors: Yellow, orange, blue, green, Red

Possible Skin Tones: Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple

Possible Hair Colors: N/A No hair on their bodies

Type of Species: Amphibian

Distinguishing Characteristics: The Garul are of nearly the same Height, Weight and lifespan of a Human. There most distinguishing characteristics are their variety of Skin tones, and head full of tentacle like appendages instead of hair.

These tentacles are called Kivu in their native language. They are extremely sensitive to touch and can be easily hurt. They are considered a private place and are not to be touched except by their mate or lover as they contain pleasure receptors. The Kivu can be moved at the will of the Garul and give off indication as to their emotional state just as much as a facial expression however they have a much harder time controlling that reaction. They can easily have a "Poker Face" but it much harder to hide their expression when it is expressed by their Kivu.

Garul have a much better sense of hearing than Humans. They have reflective linings in the back of their eyes that refocus light into the retina. This lets them see very well in the dark but gives the illusion of glowing when light is shined directly into their eyes, much like the Usari.

Garul have elongated canine teeth on the tops and bottoms of their mouths due to being mostly carnivores, they have a hard time digesting plant material and it can make them sick but can eat almost any meat. Their finger tips are adorned with long pointed finger nails with a light curve. They resemble claws and are also made from bone plates. These are filed down most of the time so they do not hurt themselves or others on accident, they are very sharp when not filed down.

Garul can come in many different skin tones and eye colors however they are all ways striped or banded. These markings are like finger prints and no two Garul's are the same. The most common colors are orange, yellow, green, blue. Red and purple skinned Garul are the rarest. Their Skin is smooth and cool to the touch, like a snake they feel almost "Slimy" but are not. Their skin has a unique property that allows oxygen to pass through their skin easily, this give them the ability to breath under water. A pair of flaps on the inside of their noses shut and prevent water from entering their lungs wile submerged. This property makes the very susceptible to water pollution tho.

They have a very powerful sense of smell, so strong they can tell who you have been around just by the sent that cling to you. however they cannot hear as well, rather they cannot hear sounds at as high or low decibel levels but can here just as well as humans at middle ranges.

Garul are cold-blooded and cannot live in cold environments for very long without going into a hibernation like coma that it is possible they will never come out of. Garul are noticeably faster and more agile than a human but are frail. They are not as strong or hard to hurt.

Abilities: Enhanced Reflexes, Dexterity, Sense of Smell, Ability to see in the dark and breath under water. Cannot Hear high or low pitched sounds as well as a human. Frail of body.

Religion: The Garul have no religion, in fact they find it to a very strange concept. They dwell on the moment and do not see a need to believe in a higher power to give their life purpose. (Tho this is a generalization some have converted to various religions.)

Culture: Garul culture based around doing what you must to survive. They are known as a species to be hot headed and impulsive. Many Garul in the galaxy turning to prostitution and thievery as a way to make their way. Both male and female are known for their powers of seduction and cunning. Slavery is common in Garul space.

Their Ruling body is monarchical, ruled by a "Queen". Though the society is not matriarchal only a female can rule over the Garul, are group known as the counsel acts as her advisors and is all male. These Twelve men each preside over a portion of Garul space and act as governors, reporting directly to the queen.

Garul value beauty in all things. Their art is renowned in the galaxy. Their architecture is fluid and sleek, as are their ships and vehicles. They have a very environmentally friendly nature on their home world but are far less conscious on their colonies. They want to preserve Garuke but do not see other planets as important. On other planets and the capital city of Zim they have very tall golden buildings that seem to look more like a freeze frame of a liquid than buildings, with imposable arches and walk ways. In the rest of Garuke they live in small dwellings made from mud and clay that are set into the ground. 90% of these traditional structures are underground.

Although they are many Garul are merchants and criminals they have a proud warrior tradition. These warriors are known as Sentinels and are the royal guard of the queen and counsel. Their military is made up of enlisted men and women like any other races army. However the Sentinels are the best of the best and out rank most enlisted officers. The Sentinels are legendary for their skill as warriors. They are much like Spartans from earth. Taken as children and trained as warriors for their entire lives.

Clothing depends on the gender, males typically wear loose robe like clothing wile females wear tighter, more revealing clothing to maintain their elegant figures and enhance their value to males.

When meeting a stranger or guest for the first time Garul will usually exchange gifts or something else as a welcome. When welcoming a large number of beings they will usually throw a party and use their traditional dances as entertainment. It is as an unnamed Garul once said, "it is customary to share what we do have."

Language: Gix it the native language of the Garul. It is a fluid and beautiful language that can be spoke by humans but Garul say humans have a very funny accent. Advent they say sound muck more like a Garul.

Brief History: The Garul are a rather new species, comparatively speaking. There race is far younger than even humanity, which is interesting due to the level of their technology. This is due to the fact that during what is equivalent to the middle ages on earth the entire planet was united under one banner. This was the ancestors of the current Queen. With the entire race working together they quickly made advances in technology.

Garul Forces and Equipment

Garul Soldier:
A Typical Garul Soldier is well trained and equipped with weapons and equipment that far out paces human technology. Wile not as advance or as powerful as Usari tech it is still outside or reach. As the Garul have been fighting the Usari for a very long time they have learned to function as a team to take down the larger and far stronger Usari Brood Warriors. They operate in groups of 8.

Known Equipment:

"Elemental" Armor: Wile made of different materials and the tech inside is far different the Garul Elemental Armor acomplishes nearly the same thing as UGOA Modular Combat Armor. The diffrence is that it is fully powered armor. Making the user faster and stronger than a typical Human soldier even tho it weighs more than UGOA armor. It is also protects slightly better than UGOA armor however it is susceptible to EMP. Being fully powered a EMP burst takes out the electronics and makes the suit dead weight, it locks up and must be cut off its wearer. Also do to the fragility of Garul even with the more advanced armor they are still easier to overpower and put down than a Human Space marine. (Supplemental Picture of the armor in action:X, X, X, X, X, )

Ion Rifle: The Ion Rifle is the main line weapon of the Garul Military. It fires high heat high energy balls of compressed ionize gas at a target using magnetic fields. Instead of ammo or power packs the weapon uses canisters of gas to power it. The gas is funneled into a camber where it is converted into an ionized state by high powered lasers then projected at a target. Wile being more powerful than a standard U.E.N. weapon it is slow to fire. It fires only in a single shot mode taking a second or more between shots to super heat the gas.

Arc Rifle: The equivalent to a Sniper rifle the Arc-Rifle uses magnetic field generators and a powerful electrostatic generator to fire what is essentially a lightning bolt. The powerful weapon is effective at long range and can burn through most light armor. It also has the added effect that it fries electronics on targets that are hit. Making it useful against heavier targets even tho it can not penetrate the armor.

Nova Cannon: The Nova Canno is a heavy weapon employed by the Garul. It uses fusion technology to create a "baby sun" and project it at a target. Wile the projectile is very slow moving it packs a massive punch, detonating when it contacts a surface the intense heat vaporizes a large area, and leaves a crater of glass.

Heat Blade: Much like the ancient swords used in human history the heat blade appears like a typical sword but are much more. The heat blade is made of a extremely heat resistant but pours metal that is heated to well above the melting point for most metals when drawn. Using magnetic fields to protect the user from the high heat weapon allows the weapon to cut through other metals and even stone like it was butter. A heat blade can be fitted on any bladed weapon, from combat knives to lances and spears. The most typical version is deployed in the form of a folding sword version. Made so it takes up less room until it is needed, and with advanced building techniques and materials it is just as sturdy as any non-collapsing version.

Garul Vehicles and Ships

"Guardian" Heavy Combat Walker:
The Gaurdian is the only known heavy ground Vehicle used by the Garul. It is a Heavily armored bipedal walker used as a mobile heavy weapons platform. It is equipped with thrusters that allow it limited flight. It carries four heavy Ion Cannons mounted on its arms and two Nova Mortars mounted in its shoulders.

Kiros Star Fighter:
The Krios is a fast and agile fighter, quick and maneuverable but lightly armored. It is equipped with four ion cannons and one Nova bomb launcher. Perfect for hit and run attacks but is the most fragile fighter on the battlefield.

Kel'Nor Transport:
The Kel'nor is a transport used much like the Immortal or the Rhino. It carries two Ion cannon turrets for defense and can carry 2 squads of Garul Soldiers or one Guardian Combat Walker. Compared to its human and Usari counterparts it is far faster and more agile but carries less and is much easier to take out.

Talak Class Corvette:
This small and lightly armored and shielded corvette is a parallel to the New York and Executor. It carries X16 Heavy Duel Ion Cannon Turrets for anti fighter combat.

Hilos Class Carrier:
The Hilos is smaller than either of the other races commented carriers but is just as effective. Deployed in larger groups it provides fire support and planetary invasion abilities rolled into one package. Equipped with heavy armor and shields it is still a tough nut to crack. Its armaments include X20 Heavy Duel Ion Cannon Turrets for point defense and X8 Nova Cannons for ship to ship combat. It carries with it a large compliment of fighters and transports as well.

Baldos Class Battleship:
The Baldos is the back bone of the Garul Navy and is armed to the teeth. It carries no fighter support and uses the space that would have been hangers to carry additional guns. It is armored like a fortress and carries hardened shields. Its weapons include: X40 Point Defense Ion Cannons and X16 Nova Cannons.

Zion Class Titan:
The Zion outmatches the Usari "Tarasque" in size and ferocity, measuring in at six kilometers. It was built to compete with the Usari titan in fleet engagements but so far only one has been produced. The massive ship is just as resilient and carries its own Planetary Invasion Force and Fighter Compliment. Its armaments include: X200 point Defense Guns and X40 Forward mounted Nova Cannons. Its one true deference is the Super Nova Cannon. This Super Weapon is mounted inside the mouth at the front of the ship and packs a punch that was intended to take out nearly any other ship in one shot. However the Zion suffers from many flaws. Its Ship to ship guns are all forward mounted and its shape prevents it from firing on any ships that get behind it. Its Super weapon also requires so much power that it puts the ship offline for nearly ten minutes after it is fired.

Rules

* Follow the TOS. No brainer there.
* Be polite to other members. Your character can be the snottiest kid out there, but if you yourself are starting to emulate that, you will find yourself blacklisted.
* Swearing. This is a common courtesy to others. Any and all swearing isn’t banned, but please, be considerate. And no swearing every other word. That’s disrespectful and you will be warned.
* No cybering. Self-explanatory. You had better not. More on romance below.
* ABSOLUTELY NO GOD-MODDING. Please, people. It just isn't fun. Do not control other people's characters and do not kill them or attack them without their owner's permission. Say that you are doing something, and then let the other person decides what the results of that action are. Don't make your character practically immortal and all powerful. This is just common sense. If your character cannot be hit or immediately heals as soon as a wound is inflicted, you are going to be warned. If you keep it up, you will be asked to leave. People like that really ruin the whole RPing experience.
* Violence. Is fine I don't mind a little gore but if I get a complaint from another member I will ask you stop if you don't you will be Blacklisted.
* Limit the romance. Crushes are fine, as are boyfriends and girlfriends. But if your character is making out constantly and the scenes are getting way too sensual, then you will be warned. Keep it up and you will be blacklisted. If you want to have your character marry another that is perfectly fine
* Stay on topic. OOC comments are fine, as long as you make them obvious through the use of (( ))'s. But try to stick with the story instead of derailing it with mindless chatter.
* Have fun! That’s the main rule. You had better follow it.
*PM your profile to me. I want to approve your profile. Pm it with the Title "Babylon."
*Literate: Keep your posts at least two paragraphs long if not longer. Please make you posts look nice. I require a picture, Name and post color in every post. I do however understand if you use a race that was made up and you cant find anymore pictures. Also a paragraph is 5 to 8 good sentences.
*Maximum two characters: Feel free however to make use and kill off as many NPCs as you would like. If a NPC becomes important to the Story however you will be allowed to keep him or her even if it puts you over the limit of two.
*Please read all the info here and on the profile thread so you know what is going on in the RP.
