[b]Species Name[/b] [i]Unguon[/i] [b]Species Description[/b] [hider]IMAGE[img]http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2010/326/d/4/alien_scout_concept_by_tlishman-d33eg8q.jpg[/img][/hider] The Unguon are descended from swamp predators and despite their humanoid shape still carry many rather unique physiological traits as a result. The first and perhaps most visually distinct of these traits has to be the partial gills to each side of an Unguons head used to assist in breathing underwater. While not efficient enough to allow the Unguon to permanently exist underwater they allow one to remain submerged for up to nine hours before having to surface. The second obvious trait comes in the form of two peripheral almost wing like protrusions on either side of the neck. While serving little real purpose on land these webbed extremities are used to locate disturbances in water. Beyond those two there are a plethora of other small adaptations, but most are of little note. - [b]Nation Name[/b] Imperial Protectorate of Kavaye [b]Nation Size[/b] Five stars and close to two hundred billion individuals. [b]Nation Description[/b] A merely hundred and forty years past the Unguon had been an autonomous people under the fledgling Kavaye Republic. Fast to reproduce and perhaps arrogant in their own recent successes the Unguon fell prey to their hubris when in search of more planets to support their ever growing population they declared war on the vast Tormkorate Empire. Predictably war, if it can be called that, was brutally short. The Tormkorate had, unbeknownst to the Unguon, been preparing to invade the Kavaye republic itself and when the republic launched an assault it was merely a convenient causus belli. Under imperial rule Kavaye became a protectorate and forty years later was permitted to re-militarize as regional tensions grew. It was not long before that new military was sent to war on imperial edict and the Unguon became the front line forces of the entire empire [b]Nation Involvement[/b] Kavaye entered the conflict on order from the Tormkorate empire. The war for however horrible it is has become popular among the Unguon simply due to the fact that their ever growing reputation among the Imperial military has served to ingratiate the species as a whole to the imperial command. This has not only raised the quality of life on most protectorate planets, but among the Unguon populace has brought up the question of political autonomy if the war is won. It is not a question shared by Imperial command. - [b]Technology[/b] Armed with obsolete Imperial weaponry Kavaye forces often find themselves technically outmatched but it is a rare day indeed they have less than a 2:1 numerical advantage. [hider=Navy Description] [i]Argos Missile Cruiser[/i] [img]http://i.imgur.com/Y4q8pQC.jpg[/img] Using utterly enormous quantities of missiles these cruisers are at the forefront of any attack overwhelming enemy defences. [i]Moju Troop Ship[/i] [img]http://i.imgur.com/3LLyiX9.jpg[/img] Moderately armed but with enormous capacity these landing ships are the means by which all reinforcements arrive to theatres of war. [i]Juyi Frigate[/i] [img]http://i.imgur.com/2X6YU1P.jpg[/img] Composing most of the space forces these frigates are work horses with excellent mobility. [i]Huil Destroyer[/i] [img]http://i.imgur.com/9zlxm1z.jpg[/img] Used to support frigates with more firepower these destroyers are ubiquitous in the space forces. [i]Gingi battleship[/i] [img]http://i.imgur.com/ymNgSbY.jpg[/img] Uncommon but devastating these are modern Imperial capitals and were only recently entrusted to the increasingly popular protectorate forces. [i]Usu Scout Frigate[/i] [img]http://i.imgur.com/0PUNrfy.jpg[/img] Used for recon these ships are fast but lightly armed due to their size.[/hider] [hider=Air Force Description] [i]AA-5 Combat Drone[/i] [img]http://i.imgur.com/0MXprdw.jpg[/img] Designed to be stupidly simple these drones are capable of low supersonic speeds and hovering alike to support ground troops. [i]Mesu Drop Ship[/i] [img]http://i.imgur.com/dbnFbLh.jpg[/img] Used in mass formations with fighter cover these dropships are fast, but lightly armed. [i]Kuku Fighter Gunship[/i] [img]http://i.imgur.com/X5nKPkX.jpg[/img] Stealthy despite its size these ships are deceptively agile and used for both air superiority and group support. [i]Iosu Mass Transport[/i] [img]http://i.imgur.com/uWUpppw.jpg[/img] Used to transport the largest hardware and the most soldiers these vast but outdated transports are common in large deployments. [/hider] [hider=Ground Force Description] [i]Combat Armour[/i] [img]http://i.imgur.com/I0JEhYl.jpg[/img] The standard armour of the protectorate is utterly simplistic. Unpowered and using several exotic composites it can allow a soldier to take a hit or two from most modern weapons, if the armoured areas are what's attacked. [i]Combat Medic/Engineer Armour[/i] [img]http://i.imgur.com/s1aSezt.jpg[/img] Lightly armed and armoured these suits are given to the medical and engineering forces to improve mobility. [i]Ujsui Mech[/i] [img]http://i.imgur.com/BwGcDlw.jpg[/img] Used to provide infantry with some extra muscle these mechs are used in a mostly anti armour role.[/hider] [hider=Common Armaments] WIP[/hider] [hider=Headquarters] The location of the protectorate headquarters has long eluded most other factions on the planet, in truth this is hardly surprising. Buried in the most hostile jungle and mountain range in one of the planets hot yet lush regions the base is entirely invisible from the air and all activity to and from it is done through vast tunnels leading to several bases many hundreds of kilometers away. The base itself is roughly 80% dug into the mountains with entrances and training grounds all left under the vast jungle canopy.[/hider] [hider=Persons of Importance] WIP[/hider]
