[b][u][color=magenta]||Something Interesting About Myself:[/color][/u][/b] I'm studying aerospace engineering at Case Western Reserve University. It's harder than I thought, but I still want to do it.
[b][u][color=magenta]||Ship Name:[/color][/u][/b] C.C.C.P. [i]Romanova[/i] (N1-B)
[b][u][color=magenta]||Universe Background:[/color][/u][/b] The [i]Romanova[/i] is from the [url=http://cnc.wikia.com/wiki/Third_World_War_(Red_Alert_2)]Red Alert 2[/url] universe. In it, Einstein went back in time to kill Hitler and stop World War II. Iteration two of WWII (now known as the "Great War II") has, instead, Stalin rising up in Hitler's abscence and invading western Europe. The Allies eventually win GWII, and install a puppet president in Russia. Eventually Russia gets pissed off enough to seek revenge, and they do so in the 70's by invading the United States (the global leader at that point), kicking off GWIII. The U.S.S.R. loses GWIII, too, however, a traitor within their midst takes advantage of the global chaos to take control of the world via mechanically-assisted psychic powers. The allies planned to use their time machine to go back and prevent this from happening; however, the remnant soviet forces managed to hijack the time machine at the last second. In this latest and final iteration, the Soviets not only managed to prevent Yuri from taking over the world, but also turned GWIII around, crushing the Allies completely. 

In short, the Soviets have obtained a glorious victory, ensuring humanity's path to the stars was entirely free of any capitalist chains. In the fifteen years since, the Soviets have built the N1-B [i]Romanova[/i], taking advantage of captured enemy technology to create the world's first interstellar ship.

The [i]Romanova[/i] is based off of old Soviet designs for a moon rocket. She's an [s]unreliable[/s][color=red]perfectly safe[/color] anachronism stew; nearly zero readouts are digital, the radar scopes are green, and the energy guns are powered by tesla technology. It has been [s]hastily[/s][color=red]flawlessly[/color] retrofitted with [s]enemy[/s][color=red]visionary Soviet[/color] designs and technologies created in GWIII. The vessel is armed with modified Tesla technology that spew a stream of ionized plasma at a target before following up with several thousand volts of electricity. While their range isn't particularly great, the combined EMP and thermal effects are significant. Furthermore, it has several space-modified machine guns and six missile silos, including twelve nuclear warheads. She's propelled by 30 fission fragment rockets, which literally propel themselves by spewing out hot radioactive materials that recently underwent fission.
[b][u][color=magenta]||Unique Capabilities:[/color][/u][/b] [list][*]Magnetronic Beam: a very powerful directed magnet (aka tractor beam).[*]Chronosphere: Mid-ranged teleportation device, [s]jerry-rigged[/s][color=red]well-adapted by brilliant Soviet engineers[/color] for use as a jump drive. The ship travels in many rapid, short, instantaneous jumps.[*]Cosmonauts: rather than go for expensive single-man fighters, the U.S.S.R. has opted for teams of cosmonauts with maneuvering packs, a single-use missile, and a gun. Such teams are known as flaks, after the aerial flak clouds from previous wars. Flaks of cosmonauts have been found to be nearly as effective and much more expendable than a fighter escort, and these findings are certainly not a reflection on the quality of the [s]hastily-assembled[/s][color=red]well-thought-out[/color] MiG [i]Cosmos[/i] starfighter.[*]Shield: Unlike most shielding technologies, the Soviet version renders the ship almost-totally invulnerable... for 30 seconds, with an inescapable 2.5-minute cooldown.[/list]
[b][u][color=magenta]||History of the Ship:[/color][/u][/b] The [i]Romanova[/i] was on her shakedown cruise; a three-year mission to Alpha Centauri and back, stopping at any points of interest the Commander deemed worthy of receiving the enlightened knowledge of the glorious Soviet system. Additionally, of course, it gave the [i]Romanova[/i] some time to work out the kinks and oddities in its design far away from prying eyes. Nobody was really sure if the damn ship wouldn't just shake itself apart at some point, or if its diaspora of competing technologies could actually function together. Born out of war and forged by paranoia, the U.S.S.R. ensured its first interstellar ship would be well-capable of defending itself. The great minds of the citizens at the central planning bureau also saw fit to include several crates of propaganda reels, propaganda leaflets, propaganda posters, and propaganda sound bites.

[list][*]Venera Romanova: Commander of the [i]Romanova[/i].

Very much the image of a good Soviet officer.

[*]Yevgeniy Utkin: [i]Romanova's[/i] XO 
[hider=Picture][img]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f2/NVZateyev.jpg[/img][/hider]He secretly believes that he's the only one capable of being in charge, and questions some of the USSR's methods, though he won't tell anyone that.

[i]Twice[/i]. Then again, anyone with his job has to be at least a little mad.
