However, rarely if ever does one see these ships used in combat against the forces of Heaven and Hell. No one has ever documented a Machina battleship being used in combat, let alone being used at all. Many believe that creating such ships would be extremely costly and in many cases, as well as being fairly easy to destroy, which again wastes valuable money, time, and resources. However, one Machina-aliied Company known as the Ultra Space AreoTech Coroporation (USAC), decided to invest in creating such a battleship, believing it can one day turn the tide of war in their favor. Initially, the process in getting the green-light was long and frustrating, having to go through legal legislation and backlash regarding other major companies and corporations. However, they eventually struck a personal deal with Eos, in exchange for said pilot to be a robot instead of the traditional human. It took the corporation nearly ten years to complete the Centauri, yet only six to perfect its AI, Mebius. The ship was to be outfitted with the best weaponry the Machina had, with weapons of raw energy and power, and they had to perfect the design and strategies the AI would wield, yet both only took so long to be created due to financial issues and the lack of funds. Within the next four years prior to the Centauri's launch, USAC trained and installed special military programs into Mebius to prepare him for service with the battleship. By the time the Centauri was completed, the AI was ready to head into battle, having already donned a personal mechanical vassal in which to move independently from the ship. Captain Mebius' first missions regarded in small arial skirmishes against the forces of Heaven, however he had yet to take on a proper three-way battle... Until now. [b][color=fff200][u]Powers:[/u][/color][/b] [list] [*][b]Ship's AI:[/b] As the AI of his personal battleship, the Centauri, Mebius has complete control over it's functions and capabilities. These include engine-power, weapon-power, shielding, scanning, and even powering basic tools and electronics plugged into the ship. Even when his conscious is inside a separate body, it's only a portion of himself meant to deal with the tasks of being inside a physical body, while the rest of him simply keep initiating basic tasks and maintenance checks within the ship. While he does rely on the functioning of his crew to keep him functioning and a ship to control, Mebius also is capable of downloading updates automatically that improve his capabilities and regarding protection against hackers. [*][b]Conscious Transfer:[/b] Mebius can transfer his entire conscious into an open robotic body in which he can control. This is very handy when facing invaders boarding his ship, in which he can personally deal with them himself. [*][b]Default Body "MX-04":[/b] Mebius' default body he can transfer into has several unique abilities in which he can use: [list] [*][b]Cybernetic Override:[/b] When against cybernetic opponent, Mebius is able to take control of them by transferring his conscious into them by literally "copying-and-pasting" his entire code inside them like a virus once touching their vital "soft-spots" where their wires connect with the skeleton. Once taking control, he automatically knows all of their strengths, weaknesses, and abilities. If the opponent has any form of cybernetic parts, like cyborg-limbs, mechs, robots, androids, and even entire ships, he is capable of taking them over. However, each body he takes control of after his first has a 25% lessened effect on the victim, meaning he can, by sheer luck, take control of four mechanical opponents, although it's more likely he can take control of one or two successfully. Furthermore, if the victim in question has a rival AI, it's not always guaranteed that Mebius will override it, as it's possible for him to be booted out or worse, deleted. Once he adverts control over a body or if said body is destroyed, he has a cool-down time of three minutes before he can attempt the process again. [*][b]Electrical Pulse:[/b] Mebius' default body has hands can issue an electrical shock that shocks the opponent upon touch. He can set the voltage of the shock, ranging from light bursts like you get from static shocks, to massive voltages that can fry an organic's insides within seconds. [*][b]Jet Thrusters:[/b] Mebius' default body has thrusters at the bottom of his feet, allowing him to levitate/fly for several minutes or get to high spaces. [/list] [/list] [b][color=fff200][u]Resistances & Immunities:[/u][/color][/b] [list] [*][b]Holy Resistance:[/b] Like the rest of the Machina, Mebius has added resistance against holy attacks. [/list] [b][color=fff200][u]Weaknesses:[/u][/color][/b] [list] [*][b]Hacking:[/b] Despite keeping up with the latest software protection updates and firewalls, Mebius is still is susceptible in getting hacked. While it may, or may not, be easy to achieve this successfully, it's still a major threat to be considered. This is even more true when his conscious is in a mechanical suit, where's he's much more vulnerable then when he's fully implanted in the ship. [*][b]Electric Attacks:[/b] Mebius can short circuit is enough electrical energy is added into the body he's in, especially true when in his default body, forcing him to shut down. [*][b]Demonic Corruption:[/b] Like the rest of the Machina, he is weak to the demonic corruption that Hell specializes in. [/list] [b][color=fff200][u]Skills:[/u][/color][/b] [list] [*][b]Tactical Strategy:[/b] As a captain, Mebius has years of experience under his belt regarding tactics used by the space navy. He knows nearly every trick in the book, and then some, and with his fast processing memory, he can absorb even more information extremely quickly. [*][b]Photographic Memory:[/b] Mebius' memory is extremely keen, being capable of remembering even the faintest details on an object with extreme accuracy. [*][b]Extensive Electronic Knowledge:[/b] With extensive knowledge on how his ship works, Mebius knows the ins and out of nearly anything that has mechanical functioning, and still strives to know more. [/list] [b][color=fff200][u]Weapons & Equipment:[/u][/color][/b] [list] [*][b]Twin "Machinima T2-X" Pistols:[/b] When going into battle in his default MX-04 suit, Mebius always carries a twin set of [url=http://www.therookies.co/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/116085-sci-fi-gun-80-1495475604-560x315.jpg]laser pistols[/url] with him. These guns are capable of issuing charged shots at the opponent, allowing them to issue more damage towards an opponent. [*][b]Vibrating Blade:[/b] Mebius carries a long vibrating blade with him to battle melee opponents or if his pistols are out of energy rounds. [/list] [b][color=fff200][u]Sample Post:[/u][/color][/b] The Centauri looms over a vast blue ocean as it slowly approaches a tiny island just upon the horizon of the setting sun. Captain Mebius looks at this tiny green rock with only slight interest as he sits motionlessly in his captain's seat, his hands folded just underneath the tip of his black mouth visor as the rest of his crew monitor the rest of the systems. He sits coldly as he checks the entire ship's statuses himself, with only his hand plugged into a special sensor imbedded in his chair. There he can feel the Centauri's very essence, every mechanical pumping and electro current, all from the tip of his fingers. Energy reserves are at maximum. Fuel levels stable. Proton barrels charged. Indeed, all the major and important systems were stable and in check, just as he checked prior. As the ship stops within ten kilometers from the island, the crew looks up to him in full anticipation, knowing full-well what was next to come. There was a momentary silence as the Captain raises his hand from the sensor and stands up. [b][color=fff200]"Assessment: The time has come to test out the newly installed 'Twin Ultra Proton Cannons' at last."[/color][/b] he announces in a heavy synthetic voice, [b][color=fff200]"The 'Two-Piece' Protocol has been lifted. Begin preparation sequence."[/color][/b] The crew nodded silently in approval as they begun the preparations. [color=00aeef][b]"Engaging all power to Main Cannons."[/b][/color] one of the crew members announced as he pulled a simple yellow switch. Most of the upper-hull electronics began shutting down as their power was redirected to the Proton Cannons. Even the bridge's lights have been cut off for the moment. The ship begins to turn the bow directly towards the island, as the final safety locks opens like camera lens ready to take the shot. [color=00aeef][b]"Firing Chambers at full power."[/b][/color] announces another member as the heat within became hotter and hotter by the second. A faint glow can be seen rising in brightness from the twin cannon ports, it's glow becoming more and more evident as the yellow plasma begins to burn. A target screen can be seen on the bridge's screen as it finally completes its alignment with the island in front of them. The Captain continues to watch emotionlessly as he orders a quick command towards the crew [b][color=fff200]"Command: Proceed to put on your anti-flash goggles."[/color][/b] he asks sternly. The AI doesn't need simple goggles as he does not have organic eyes. His onscreen facial monitor in fact proceeds to dim the view for him. [b][color=fff200]"Activate the Anti-Light Metal Shutters."[/color][/b] The shutters also come down, dimming the view by a considerable margin as an additional safety measure for the organic crew onboard. The cannon was nearing it's maximum firing capacity and it wouldn't take much longer for it to fire. The growing hype and anticipation amongst the organic crew to witness the Proton Cannons fire is growing to unbearable levels. Yet even they attempt to control their emotions as they finalize the preparations. [color=00aeef][b]"Bow alignment confirmed."[/b][/color] a female crew member announces, [color=00aeef][b]"Countdown to firing sequence initiated in... three... two... one. Main Cannons fully charged and ready to fire!"[/b][/color] The cannon was humming rapidly as it reaches its maximum capacity. Mebius rises from his seat and nods. [b][color=fff200]"Offer: You may fire when ready."[/color][/b] Almost immediately after, an excited gunman then suddenly yells out the final command. [color=00aeef][b]"FIRE!"[/b][/color] And with a simple press of a button, the Centauri fires the proton cannons, unleashing an awesome amount of bright and absolute power after a quick and deafening silence. The blinding twin yellow lights swirl quickly towards their target as they streak across the sky in diagonal fashion. The beams began to merge into a large singular line before they finally penetrated their target. And in a mere instant, the entire island was engulfed in a giant explosion that could be seen for miles. The crew was in major awe and shock as they watch the explosion take place from the safety of the Centauri. Everyone but Captain Mebius couldn't help but to make an audible sound, taking in the absolute magnitude of the raw destruction that filled the night sky, turning it briefly into daylight for a short few seconds. And once everything was finished... the island was nowhere to be seen, obliterated to the point where not a single pillar of rock can be seen. It was affectively wiped off the face of the Nexus, never to return. And then after a long silence, everyone applauded themselves and patted each other on the back. The test was a complete success, perhaps even surpassing all expectations. Captain Mebius sits down as he watches his crew members celebrate. If he had a mouth, he would be definitely smiling.

[*][b]Traditional Weaponry:[/b] Traditional weaponry as powerful as a regular gun or even a weaker cannon, are incapable of breaking through the Centauri's shield effectively. One will need bigger cannons and more powerful physical rounds and energy-based weaponry to consider even piercing that shield. [/list] [b][u][color=fff200]Weaknesses:[/color][/u][/b] [list] [*][b]Demonic Attacks:[/b] Like the rest of Machina's forces, the Centauri is weak towards demonic corruption. It's shields eat up more energy when a demonic force hits it. [*][b]Bombers:[/b] Like most space cruisers, the Centauri is weak to specialized bombs, like those coming from enemy bombers. While it's anti-aircraft guns can take them down, if their bombs manage to get past the Centauri's defenses, it can cause serious damage if shields aren't enabled. [/list] [b][u][color=fff200]Skills:[/color][/u][/b] [list] [*][b]Surprising Maneuverability:[/b] For such a large ship, the Centauri is surprisingly agile and incredibly fast, being able to make a 180 degree turn within ten seconds. [*][b]Strong Shields/Hull:[/b] [/list] [b][color=fff200]Weapons & Equipment:[/color][/b] [list] [*][b]3.50 Cm Quad-mount Positron Laser Cannons:[/b] The most powerful turrets of the Centauri's arsenal, with three located on the front, two in the rear, and one at the bottom. These lasers can merge to become more powerful beams, great for taking out shields off enemy ships and units. [*][b]2.25 Cm Twin-Mount Laser Cannons:[/b] Eight batteries are located on the side of the ship underneath the bridge, with six located on the rear. These guns are good in taking out all opposition, especially aircraft and missiles, being stronger than the single-mount, yet weaker than the quad-mount. [*][b]Single-Mount Anti-Aircraft Guns:[/b] Light battery cannons located in the back, which are most effective in taking out fighters. [*][b]Missile Launchers:[/b] A set of anti-missile missiles launched from missile ports in the hull of the Centauri (located underneath the twin-mount lasers), exploding at a safe distance and form an energy web that detonates incoming missiles. [*][b]Twin Ultra Proton Cannons (TUPC - "Two Piece Cannon"):[/b] Two massive guns are located at the front of the ship and are often used as a last resort or as a "trump card". These guns are immensely powerful, being able to vaporize a fleet of enemy ships or even entire islands if both are used at maximum power. However, it takes a brief but critical period to charge before firing. It also requires all non-essential power systems be deactivated, and leaves the ship powerless and adrift for a short time after firing, leaving it vulnerable to enemy attack for a brief moment. Prior to fire, all non-mech crew members are required to put on special safety goggles just so they won't get blinded by the initial outburst and explosion. [*][b]Mega-Flex Shielding:[/b] The Centauri has strong shields that can put up with much punishment, yet is weaker when against demonic attacks. [*][b]Radar:[/b] Like all starships, the Centauri has access to advanced radar that allow the ship to see almost anything coming from miles away. [*][b]Hyperdrive:[/b] Like all starships of her size, the Centauri can jump to lightspeed using its advanced hyperdrive to get from one location to another ranging from seconds, minutes, or an hour depending on the distance. [*][b]Metal Shutters:[/b] Used when viewing at incredibly bright objects, and also used when preparing to fire the TUPC as to shield non-robotic eyes from getting permanent blindness. [*][b]Hangar Bay:[/b] The ship has a large hangar bay located at the bottom of the ship, in which it's used to deploy fighters and light transport ships [/list] [b][u][color=fff200]Theme:[/color][/u][/b] [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKN7_ve1VWo[/youtube] [/hider][/center]
