Name of nation: Korwrath Confederacy Species: The Korwrath are a humanoid race that look very similar to humans but the only difference is that they have four eyes on their face instead of just two which makes their heads slightly bigger than the average human head. A Korwrath male can grow to be from 6’5” up to 7’2”, this is contrasted to the females who range in height from 5’6” to 6’9”. The skin color of the Korwrath ranges from a golden tan color to a deep red color with the variations of the skin color caused by which capital fleet you grew up on or weather you are from a colonized planet. Other than these specific feature changed they look shocking similar to humans even their lifespans are similar with them normally living to be around 80 years old. Description of government: The political structure of the Korwrath Confederacy is extremely loose with each fleet governing themselves and even the few colonies that exist anymore having their own governing systems and don't have to answer to any one fleet. There are also small pirate and splinter fleets that are able to govern themselves but these groups must find their own ways to survive as they are exiled from the rest and cannot live off of the Capital ships. The Korwrath system consists of each Capital Fleet being led by three Grand Admirals who must decide together on what courses of actions can be taken by the fleet with a key being on the preservation of their fleet. The colonies of the Korwrath do not have a similar system as they are mainly ruled by one governor who controls the whole planet and this governor is chosen by a vote of all the people who are living on the planet with a new governor being chosen every ten years, but this system isn't always followed and there are a variety of systems in place on several other colonies. Political Leaders: The Grand Admirals of the Korwrath Confederacy are chosen for their long military service that has risen through the ranks and proven themselves to be born natural leaders who have the mental fortitude to lead an entire nation. Each Capital Planetary fleet consists of three capital ships, each with their own Grand Admiral who all work together instead of just commanding their own ship. Description of military: The Korwrath military is commanded by the Grand Admirals of the Capital Ships which have absolute command over all branches of the military as they are also seen as the leaders of their nation. [hider=Capital Ship Fleet] These fleets are the backbone of the Korwrath way of life as the main populations of the Korwrath reside in these fleets. These fleets range anywhere from 200 ships to 400 ships of all specifications, all centered around three of the biggest ships that you may ever see in your lifetime which combines all the greatest technologies the Korwrath had to offer at the time of the Great Fall. Many of the ships in the fleet can be classified as derelict by most standards with the exceptions of the warships that travels with the fleet being the only ships besides the Capital ships that are constantly staying up to date. Capital Ships are towering planetary platforms that house a population of 2 billion Korwrath and is where the main population of the Korwrath people are located. Each fleet consists of three of these massive ships with each serving a different purpose that benefits the fleet with one ship focused mainly on agriculture that will supply the entire fleet with a sustainable source of income while another is dedicated to being a housing ship which is mainly where the military school is located as well as all the merchants and politics. The last capital ship in the fleet is always partially built into the side of a mineral rich asteroid and is used as a mining outpost to supply the fleet with a constant stream of industrial goods and necessities. The main defense of the fleet consists of nearly a hundred warships of varying classes ranging from the Dor-class Heavy cruiser down to the Roric-class light frigate with each and every one of them bristling with enough weapons to vaporize anything that came within several hundred thousand meters of the fleet. The rest of the fleet is made up of civilian ships that are huddled around the capital ships with each ship carrying a civilian population of several thousand Korwrath each.[/hider] [hider=Infantry] [URL=http://s1104.photobucket.com/user/monkeyboy226/media/To_Hold_Or_Advance_by_Shimmering_Sw.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h326/monkeyboy226/To_Hold_Or_Advance_by_Shimmering_Sw.jpg[/IMG][/URL] The Korwrath infantry wear advanced reactive armor that also serves as environmental suits on harsh planets that do not suit the Korwrath at all. These suits are able to withstand a small amount of projectile or energy weapons without giving away and damaging the integrity of the suits. The infantry is broken into several divisions with the main division consisting of an elite strike force made up of a mechanized unit called the Shock which uses a special mechanized suit to become the advanced guard of any planetary landing.

They sport duel photon cannons, twelve missile pods, and six electromagnetic Gatling guns that fire fifty-caliber explosive rounds. Their armor consists of reactive explosive plates that will deflect most large caliber projectile rounds as well as a small shield generator that allows for the form-fitting shield around the mechanized walker.

These ships also have six hangers with four of the hangers being dedicated to fighter and bomber squadrons while the remaining two hangers are used for commercial use like resupplying and transportation. Just underneath the surface of the hull are hundreds of missile tubes as well as many point defense machine guns to defend at close quarters against fighters and boarding ships.

Their primary armament is large caliber Gatling guns that can be used at close range to damage ships and also deal with fighter squadrons that would harm the fleet, they are also equipped with several dozen missile pods. An interesting design of this ship is their large front which appears to have large sloped armor which allows for the Frigates to form a short of Phalanx in front of the fleet which helps deflect some of the attacks that may be incoming on the fleet.

A special feature about these ships are their capabilities to descend into a planets orbit and they are able to withstand the heat of reentry long enough to release colony transports unless the ship itself is being retired and used as a colony ship itself. If the ship is being used as a colony ship than it will descent to the surface and become to starting base for the colonization of the planet.

Their intention for this ship was to create an agile fighter with high offensive capabilities against other fighters, the ship only has twin magnetic gatling guns with their primary means of attack being the two prongs at the front of the ship which are hardened so that they are able to pierce almost any more that they come across. They are meant to hit the other ship at such speeds that they are able to slice through the other ship and keep going onto the next enemy.

A drawback to this ship is that it gave up the agility of the VIVac for more directional thrusters which allow for the fighter to make sharp turns in order to fight the battle from any angle.

The bomber can also be equipped with larger weapon payloads depending if their mission requires they to attack ships larger than enemy fighters, this ship was never meant to be engaged with enemy fighters at close-range and are not equipped with any machine guns of any kind.

There is also a single large magnetic rail gun mounted in the nose of the ship nestled in between two large hanger bays.

The transport is built as an advanced forward transport with six forward mounted cannons and a rotating turret on top to deal with any following enemies. The ship can hold up to eighteen Shock troops which are suspended in a cradle while in transport and the bottom of the dropship can open up to eject the mechanized suits onto the ground in order for hot drops.

The ship does not sport any weapons of any kind. [/hider] Technological Overview: The Korwrath technology has advanced to the point were they are able to create artificial environments inside the Planetary ships and even on some of the larger civilian ships. The capabilities for faster than light travel have been achieved by the Korwrath and is equipped onto every ship in the fleet even the massive Capital ships but the fleets prefer to drift through space and only use the hyper drives only in times of emergency as it drains a massive amount of energy from the generators and it takes long periods of time to gain the lost energy back after a jump. Military technology for the Korwrath Confederacy is reaching the end of the projectile age and is slowly moving into energy weapons with the first photon cannons being mounted on their giant walkers. Their mechanized technology is their pride and joy and never even developed tanks or any pieces of artillery as their primary focus remained on the development of the perfect exosuit for the infantry and perfecting their Shock Mechanized infantry as well as their giant walkers. They also developed energy shielding which is able to take a decent amount of damage from projectile weapons as well as energy weapons before failing. This energy shield technology was first developed for their main battle ships for the navy fleet which is now even equipped onto everything from the Civilian ships all the way down to the Interceptors. The shields were than customized farther into smaller packs that could be carried by individual infantry men with could use their own shields or carry larger generators onto the battlefield whcih allowed them to deploy energy domes which could be used as forward operating bases. Cultural Overview: The Korwrath people have never really been a massively religious people with only a few religions rising up in the last few millennium that they have been in the galaxy, since than these religions have all since disappeared as the Korwrath strive just for survival and the superiority of their race now. The Korwrath like to think of themselves as a strongly independent people who take pride in their military abilities with all Korwrath youth serving in the military when they come of age with plenty of chances for promotion if they are able to go to officer school on the Capital Ship. The Korwrath could be described by members of other Empires as Isolationists as Diplomats and all members of other Species are only allowed onto the Military Capital ship as that is were the markets and government building are kept and they do this because they are scared of disease spreading through out the fleet and wiping out entire ships of people which has happened in the past when they were more open with different species.
