History

The BC-304 Daedalus is the first of it's kind. Designed to be the replacement main ship of the line rather than the ageing BC-304. The Daedalus, unlike its predecessor, is built with many of the alien subsystems ingrained into the ship's systems. Rather than the more advanced systems being tacked on after the fact. Designed to lead the USAFs Fast Attack Wing her standing orders are to ferry personnel and equipment between Earth and Atlantis, with the people of Earth only having one functional ZPM. Deploying that ZPM to Atlantis during the siege the Daedalus proved itself a capable warship in battle. Taking out multiple Wraith hive ships before being overwhelmed by superior numbers, as well as their enemy somehow learning how to block the Asgard Transport Beams.

Its next challenge came when on the return from Earth a Wraith Virus took hold of the ship's systems. Almost killing the entire crew in order to deliver the ship into the hands of the Wraith. The ship was damaged in order to prevent this outcome, repaired at Atlantis before it continued on its standing orders.

It was later discovered that Colonel Caldwell was a Goa'uld infiltrator on behalf of the Trust, after having the symbiote removed the Daedalus continued to support Atlantis through multiple combat and non-combat scenarios. Most recently it engaged two Wraith ships bound for Earth in the space between Galaxies with the help of the Lantean Warship 'Orion'. While the Orion was destroyed the Daedalus survived, having been sent back to Earth for full repairs it is now on its way back to the Pegasus Galaxy.

Note: For the interest of my state of mind, as far as I'm concerned the universe in which this Daedalus comes from is identical to that of the show in all but one way... Star Wars does not exist as a movie franchise. I feel like it'd just be confusing.

Name of Ship:
N/A; Samus's Gunship / Starship; "Hunter IV"

Home Universe/Name of Franchise:
Metroid-Series

Ship Class:
Hunter-Class Gunship

Role:
Personal Vehicle; Fighter-Support; Stealth

Size:
- 9.144 Meters Long
- 6.096 Meters Wide
- 2.4384 Meters High
- 136 Tons

Armament/Complement:
- Twin Power Beam Turrets: Primary arsenal when dealing with low-armored/low-leveled threats.
- Retractable Rear-Mounted Plasma Beam Cannon: Heavy-Cannon designed for combating rear-trailing opponents.
- Grapple Beam: Used to tether onto cargo, hold onto sturdy surfaces, and even act as a miniature tractor beam against fighter ships.
- Ship Missile Launchers: Concussive weapon used to take down armored threats, as well as used when commencing bombing runs.
-Remote-Controlled AI: Samus can remotely command her ship to come to her exact location if possible. Location must be big enough to fit her ship through and not obstructed by anything that could damage it.
- Cloaking Device (Newly Added): Recently added, the cloaking device allows Samus' gunship to temporarily become undetectable from other vessels. This takes up a lot of energy so it's used sparingly.

Unique Technology:
- Adv. Recharging Station: Stores a special pod that allows to recharge Samus's suit after a long day of combat. Takes several hours for it to fully recharge.
- Ammunition Microfactory: A small dimension utilized in the production of ammo for Samus' plasma cannon. Strangely it doesn't refill the ship's missile supplies, meaning that Samus would have to find suitable weaponry or modify existing missiles to refill her ship.
- Sophisticated Hologram Computer: Samus' gunship is built with a sophisticated computer which stores mission data.
- Hyperdrive: Allows Samus' ship to jump from one star system to the next in minutes.

History of the Ship:
As Samus Aran's most reliable companion when traveling across the stars, this unnamed Hunter-Class gunship has served the famed bounty hunter since the very beginning. From tracking down vile criminals to combating the vile space pirates, it's the perfect vessel for a bounty hunter to do her job. While this ship in particular is not the first of her kind that Samus flew - this being her fourth incarnation to be exact - her design remained largely the same throughout, being that the front looks much like the bounty hunter's own helmet. Each incarnation however had been upgraded significantly to prevent the ship from being neutralized once again from enemy forces (a fate befitted with two of her previous vessels), mostly in the form of additional weaponry, shielding, and other gadgets and add-ons.

As of her most recent mission prior to her finding herself in a galaxy far, far away, Samus had merged all of her weaponry and armor from previous models onto the same classic ship design, as well as adding a new ability to the ship - a cloaking device.

Gotta go fast...

Name of Ship: Egg Carrier X
Home Universe/Name of Franchise: Sonic the Hedgehog
Ship Class: Egg Carrier
Role: Battle-Carrier
Physical Description/Image:



Physical Size (roughly): 1,500 meters
Armament/Complement (roughly):

Heavy Particle Annihilator (Bow-mounted)
Numerous laser batteries (All over the ship)
Numerous AA laser guns (All over the ship)
Air-Mine Deployers (all over the ship)
Numerous Drone fighters
Numerous larger deployable fighting machines (Listed in "Unique Technologies")

History of the Ship: Built 50 years ago, during Eggman's hayday, when he and Sonic battled on a regular basis, this was hidden in his "Grand Vault" bellow his last fortress as sort of an escape pod, so that he could flee the planet. He was captured before he could get to use it, so it spent many decades in that vault in standby mode, only the maintainance and cleaning crews active.

When Jack and his friends were fighting Prince Manic, they rescued the imprisoned Eggman from Manic's clutches, he took them to his last bastion and showed them the Egg Carrier. Eggman joined their fight, too old and tired to try to use his newfound freedom to try to refound Eggman Land, instead, deciding to pour his remaining days into stopping Prince Manic's attempts to take over the Acorn Kingdom. After Manic's defeat, he fled the planet in his ship and the crew of the Egg Carrier has followed him to space.

Notable Crew

Jack the Rabbit

Born in parts unknown, Jack was found as a baby by Master Gord, an Echidna and the leader of the Order of Mystics, the guardians of the magic on Mobius. Jack was raised by the order to be one of them, learning to fight, to call on the power of the elements, to become the first of the new mystics. When he was old enough, he was sent out into the world to learn about it and himself. He was caught in a special zone and transported across dimensions to Station Square where he met humans for the first time and was found by G.U.N.

G.U.N. took him and convinced him to work for them, with promises that they would help him get home in return. His magics made him an amazing infiltrator. But soon came into conflict with Prince Manic, going by the name Dr Kinam. Manic planed to take over the Human world, then use it as a base to invade and conquer Mobius, even having kidnapped Eggman from Jail to help him in his construction of a robot army.

Weapons: Knuckle-Claws (inspired by Echidnas)

Natural abilities:
Super Speed and Jumping (Like all rabbits, Jack is able to run at enhanced speeds and jump high using his powerful legs)
Magic (Jack is an accomplished sorcerer and is able to call upon the mystic arts to defend himself)

Princess Sonia

Daughter of King Sonic and Queen Sally, Sonia is a tomboy with a heart of gold and a love of machinery. Ever since she was a young girl, she would rather have a broken computer to fix, than a dolly any day. She and her younger brother grew up happily in New Mobotropolis. Whereas Sonia grew close fo their father, Manic grew closer to Uncle Chuck.

One fateful day, a group of Robotnikist rebels attacked the palace and Uncle Chuck gave his life to protect the children. Sonia took this as a wake up call to improve her ability to fight. Manic, on the other hand was scarred, irreprairably damaged. He was never the same. As Manic grew into a powerful young warrior, he grew increasingly more brutal in his tactics for hunting down the Robotnikists. When King Sonic finally took action, removing Manic as a knight of the kingdom, Manic exiled himself to hunt down the terrorists on his own. With Manics leaving, Rite of Succession fell to Sonia, with her being made the legal heir.

Weapons:
Wrist-Blades (A pair of laser blades built into her bracelets.)

Natural abilities:
Super Speed (Inherited from their father, Sonia is able to run at mach speeds.)

K'Tari

K'Tari is a member of the Order of Mystics and daughter of Gord. K'Tari was raised alongside Jack and they often trained together. When she went out into the world, she went looking for Jack, but instead found Princess Sonia and her Metal Sonic companion 2X4B. She travelled with them to Station Square, using her magics to help in foiling Manic's plans. K'Tari, during this time, became close to MS, although they had started on less than amicable terms.

Natural Abilities:
Knuckle Claws (Helps in digging, wall climbing and punching.)
Magics (K'Tari is an accomplished sorcerer, able to wield the mystical arts with precision and strength.)
Telepathic (K'Tari has the ability to read minds and communicate telepathically.)

Oglivie

Born as a regular flicky in Green Hill Zone, he was captured by Doctor Eggman and put into a Metal Sonic body, becoming just another face in the army, he, like the others was defeated by the original Sonic. After the fall of Eggman, he was left in a scrapyard for decades, until he was found by a kindly old owl that found him, the owl tried to free the flicky, finding that the flicky was far too badly damaged to survive outside of the armour that was essentially working as life-support for him. The owl fixed him up and gave the flicky full control of the body.

The Metal Sonic, not knowing anything about itself, stayed with the man, figuring things out. He came to call the man Grandpa. He came to love Grandpa and helped him with the heavy lifting around the house, staying by his side until the day Grandpa died of old age. After that, he went walking around the world. This is when he ran into Sonia and K'Tari, who had set out on her quest to find their brothers, respectively. Metal Sonic (Now going by the designation MS-2X4B) helped as a bodyguard as they searched.

They followed Manic to Station Square and foiled several of his plans there, before meeting up with Jack and G.U.N. to defeat him. During one raid, MS found the imprisoned Eggman and rescued him. Eggman gave MS access to the files on Metal Overlord and MS transformed to take on Manic's battle-fleet, but found himself unable to turn back afterwards. For a while, they transfered his Flicky into an old GEMERL body to continue their mission. After Manic absorbed the negative powers of the Chaos Emeralds to attain a dark Super-form, MS was transfered back into the Overlord body to fight him, but failed to defeat Manic. Jack, K'Tari, Sonia and MS then absorbed the positive powers of the Chaos Emeralds, transforming MS' body back to its Metal Sonic form and attaining super forms and defeated Manic. After the battle, Metal's body was badly damaged. The others harnessed the powers of the emerald and Metal was reborn into an organic body, an exact clone of Sonic.

Weapons:
Metal Sonic Suit (After he was transformed into an organic, Oglivie took his old Metal Sonic parts and, with the help of Eggman and Sonia, turned it into a battle-suit that increases his physical attributes to be on par with his old Metal Sonic body. This suit comes complete with built-in weapons and hardpoints that allow for different weapons to be equipped, depending on the situations. The built-in weapons include the following)
Machine Guns (Arms)
Missile Launchers (Shoulders)
Lasers (Helmet)
Flight-pack (Back and feet)
Black Shield (All over body shield, designed to protect against chaos-energy attacks, but protects against most attacks. However, whilst the blackshield is active, no other actions can be taken, offensive or otherwise.)

Natural Abilities:
Super Speed (Like his appearance would suggest, he is capable of running at mach-speeds)

Dr Julian Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik of the house of Kintobor

An old man who has figured out that world conquest is a young mans game. Arch nemesis of Sonic for decades, conqueror of Mobius, but came from humble beginnings. An Overlander, Born Julian Ovi Kintobor into the house of Kintobor, he grew up surrounded by mysticism, but he always looked up to his grandfather, the radical who was known as "Gerald Robotnik" During the great war between the Overlanders and Mobians, Robotnik saw the writing on the wall from the technologically superior Mobians and defected, taking his keen scientific mind with him.

After the Overlanders fled, he was invited to the grand science academy and quickly grew among the ranks, planting seeds for his innevitable takeover. He worked with Charles Maurice Hedgehog on the first Roboticiser, a machine designed to help those who's body parts had been rendered useless, transforming them into robotic parts. At the grand unveiling, that the true purpose was revealed, when he turned the entire audience into mindless robotic servants for his insane machinations. Soon after, the Freedom Fighters emerged and Sonic and his friends began their never-ending battle with Eggman.

After his final defeat, he was locked away in a maximum security prison for 30 years, his whiskers greyed and he grew penitent. One day, he was visited by Manic, the former crowned prince of Mobius, who offered Eggman a place in his new empire. Eggman refused, before finding out that this wasn't a question he could give that answer to. Manic broke him out and Eggman found himself in an even worse prison, forced to constantly design and build new and more devastatingly powerful machines.

He was eventually rescued by MS, whom he has grown to see as the son he never had. Eggman now spends his old age helping the heroes stop Sonic's insane son, it will be the only chance he gets to defeat his arch nemesis.

Weapons: Copious amounds of Robotic servants.
Eggmobile (The Eggmobile is a pod that Eggman uses as his primary mode of transportation. The Eggmobile is compatible with all of the Egg-Boss machines, allowing it to dock and Eggman to take control manually. There are also a number of modules to allow the Eggmobile to adapt to almost any situation.)

Eggmobile Modules

Mobile D: A car-like module with a drill on the front. Great for offroading when hover modules aren't an option.
Egg-Submarine: Contrary to common belief, space-ships aren't able to survive in deep water. As such, Eggman built a special module to allow him to perform tasks in oceans.
Flame-Pod: A module designed for deforestization. Also works well one Hedgehogs.
Big Arm: A combat unit, through and through, but not big enough to be considered an Eggboss.
Egg-Walker: For when the Eggmobile needs to proceed on foot, this walker is armed with Homing Lasers, Vulcan Cannons, Homing Missiles and a Mega-laser for when things get dicey.

Thunderbolt the Chinchilla

There is an old saying "Behind every great evil is an even greater evil totally devoted to it." Thunderbolt was one of Eggman's last lieutenants whilst he was still a villain. She is completely and totally devoted to him, to the point of obsession. Thunderbolt lives to please Eggman, and even though he has gone on the straight and narrow in his old age, his single most loyal servant remains at his side, always.

Natural abilities:
Electromancer (TB's poofy fur stores immense amounts of electrical charge, she can discharge this as electrical blasts at her enemies.)

Koffal

A Geonosian Brood Alpha who has been tasked with protecting a Queen's Egg. He was the last survivor of Raxus, the Separatist Capital.
Abilities:
Flight (Like all Geonosians, he can fly)

Optional, but helpful:
Unique Technology: The Mobian technology is wierd and wonderful, teleporters, FTL (Special Zone Portal generator), Roboticisers (for medical purposes only) the mobians most powerful technologies come in the form of Eggman's large "Egg Boss" machines:

Egg Boss machines

Egg Wyvern A large flying machine with multiple laser batteries and a reinforced skeleton to allow it to ram other craft without much risk of damage.
Egg Emperor In his old age, this is Eggman's Go-To Eggboss machine and the first he will usually pick whenever he is forced to take to the battlefield. It is a large, flying, bipedal machine with a lance and a powerful shield. It can unleash large energy waves with swings and thrusts from the Lance, and has missile launchers.
Egg Lancer The Egg Lancer is a giant robot with huge pincers, capable of easily cutting through large machines. It is eqipped with immensely powerful rocket engines, giving it flight capabilities at immense speed, almost able to match Sonic, but not quite. It has landmine-deployers, missile launchers, incendiary rounds and possesses an AI, making it one of the few Eggboss machines that is capable of acting independantly, albeit, not as well as it can with an experienced pilot.
Elemental Armour An Eggboss machine designed to harness the power of the Wisps, it is able to shoot powerful lasers from its tentacles, as well as deploy spiked energy-mines.
Egg Viper A large snake-like machine, the Viper is armed with multiple laser cannons, as well as a main laser cannon and a pair of spiked spinners that it can shoot out and call back to tear giant hunks out of its opponents.
Egg Cerberus A large quadrapedal machine and one of the few solely ground-based Eggboss machines, it has little weaponry to speak of, but is large and very fast, capable of leaping great distances.
Egg Dragoon Possibly the most powerful in the arsenal, a humanoid fighting machine, equipped with a large drill-lance (That can be fired as a homing missile) and a powerful gatling cannon. It has flight capabilities and a powerful "Elemental Core" that allows the gatling weapon to channel Fire, Ice and Lightning based attacks. It can also channel all of the power into a single, focused, sustained energy blast, which takes 30 seconds to recharge, leaving the Dragoon unable to perform ranged attacks at this time. The Egg Dragoon has immensely thick armour, designed to repel even Sonic's spin-dash.
Egg Wizard: Designed based on the Egg-Cleric eggbot. The Egg Wizard has a large elemental core, allowing it to harness the powers of fire, electricity, ice and wind. Mainly piloted by Jack or K'Tari.

Weapons

A list of general weapons that the inhabitants might use:
Lance & Shield
Missile Launcher
Laser gun
Hammer
Heavy Machine-Gun
Grenade Launcher
Elemental Staff (A staff with an elemental core, allowing the wielder to throw fire-balls, ice blasts and lightning bolts)

Crew Size: 1,500 robots of varying shapes and sizes.

Types of Robots

Egg Pawn

Egg Pawns are basic units, about 4 foot tall, well armoured and possess a wide array of weapons and variations, including the Egg Knight, Egg Hammer, Egg Bomber and Egg Cleric. However, they all share the same problem that they aren't terribly intelligent.

Buzz Bomber

Buzz Bombers are a mainstay of the Badnik forces. The Buzz Bombers are lightning fast flying robots with hover capabilities and a laser blaster in its stinger.

EggRobo

A humanoid, hovering recon robot. They possess advanced problem solving abilities and have shown the ability to feel emotions.

Metal Sonic

The Metal Sonics are immensely powerful machines, fast and strong, there are a few of them that are part of Oglivies squadron.

The Solonis

Name of Ship: The Solonis
Home Universe/Name of Franchise: Sins of a Solar Empire
Ship Class: Kol Battleship
Role: A direct-action frontline battleship.
Physical Description/Image:
Physical Size (roughly): One kilometer in length
Armament/Complement (roughly):
4x Heavy beams.
Many autocannon hardpoints.
Many laser cannon hardpoints.
Many flak guns on the hull.
Heavy Gauss-Railgun.
Two squadrons of fighters.

History of the Ship:
The Solonis was a ship heavily involved in fighting against the Advent as well as the Vasari. Responsible for many kills on not only frigates and cruisers but credited with the elimination of a few enemy capital ships as well. The Solonis was frequently deployed in both a battlegroup as well as on it’s own in various duties.

Things almost went south for the Solonis whilst it was deployed on the border of TEC space. A battlegroup was due to come through, and Solonis was to link up with them to start a push into Vasari space, however the battlegroup didn’t arrive on time, with the Solonis being informed that it was going to be late. It was then that a Vasari Vorastra Titan appeared in the system, causing a panic on the lonely Solonis. Solonis’ shields came under heavy fire as the Vorastra micro-jumped behind it, and the Solonis’ crew triggered an early phase jump, wishing to bear the risk rather than die to the Vorastra. However, when they jumped, it didn’t end as early as it should have. Instead, it kept going, to the point where Solonis’ crew knew they were nowhere near where they were before.

Notable Crew:
Captain Hayley Duncan (Captain)
Commander Elliot Furret (Executive Officer)
Major Magnus Stanforth (Marine CO)
Lieutenant-Commander Robert Sinclair (Engineering Lead)
Lieutenant Stuart Clarke (Operations Officer)
Lieutenant Toby McEwan (Weapons Officer)
Lieutenant Olivia Allan (Navigation Officer)
Lieutenant Kayla Jameson (Communications Officer)
Second Lieutenant Lilly Knox (Logistical Officer and Flight Operations Director)

Unique Technology:
Heavy Gauss-Railgun; The main railgun of the Solonis fires a slug with a boost from the antimatter reactor, and infuses the slug with a core that slips straight past shields and strikes the hull of it’s target.
Crew Size: 2000, including standard crew, small craft crew and marines.

The Blathriin-Va

---

---

Alt View

---

Name of Ship: Blathriin-Va.

Home Universe/Name of Franchise: Stellaris.

Ship Class: Escort.
(Escorts behave like destroyers, but their firepower and defense is as strong as cruisers. Escorts generally carry 4 Small weapons and 4 Point Defense, and a Large weapon to fight bigger ships.)

Role: Escort/Support.

Physical Description: Ornate in appearance and seemingly covered in gold plate, the Blathriin-Va is designed after the standard ship template used by the Cantharian Empire, a design which bears some resemblance to an oddly shaped star with six points surrounding a circular viewport of sorts with the engines located on the crafts backside.

Physical Size (roughly): The Blathriin-Va is approximately 100 meters long, 10 meters wide, and 10 meters thick. (Ship/unit scale in Stellaris is far from realistic or to scale, so an accurate size is pretty much impossible to give. It is safe to assume Escort class ships are much smaller than Corvettes, Destroyers, and Battleships given their role in combat however.)

Armament/Complement (roughly): 4 Matter Disintegrators, 2 Guardian Point-Defense Cannons, 2 Flak Artillery Guns, 1 Null Void Beam, 4 Medium Dark Matter Shields (Mod Component), 2 Medium Titan Armors (Mod Component), and 2 Advanced Reactor Boosters.

History of the Ship: Currently commanded by captain Yiithren, the Blathriin-Va is a very old ship. As a matter of fact it was constructed just as the Canthari declared themselves an Ascended Empire and began expanding beyond their native binary star system, making it several centuries old at least. And while it has been through much, it is still as effective now as it was when it was first built. As for its more recent history, the Blathriin-Va was on a routine patrol mission near the outer rim of the galaxy, when a space-time disturbance was registered on its sensors before a bright flash of light engulfed the craft, sending it careening off into dimensions unknown.

Lost and cut off from the rest of their people, the crew aboard the escort ship Va must now find a way to survive the cold harsh void of an unfamiliar universe.

Notable Crew: Captain Yiithren, First Mate Kurqruik, and Chief Engineer Strevrols.

Unique Technology: The Blathriin-Va is equipped with several unique technologies not native to this universe such as a Psi Jump Drive, Artillery Combat Computer, Tachyon Sensors, Dark Matter Thrusters, and a Dark Matter Reactor.

Crew Size: 20-30. Currently at maximum capacity.

Faction/Operator/Owner: The Cantharian Empire.

Additional Info: The term '(Mod Component)' denotes a component or ship part not found in the default game, but added via user created content.

For anyone going to the wiki, click in the expand option in detailed tabs to get more information.

Please note that English words such as 'Admiral', 'Captain', 'First Mate', etc, are written and spoken differently in the Cantharian language.

Although originally silver in color, the Canthari changed their ships color schemes to gold after rediscovering the ancient designs they used before their peoples mass extinction at the hands of the now Fallen Empires and the ensuing cataclysm that eventually put them into the same sorry state as their foes.

The Intrepid Reason

Name of Ship: The Intrepid Reason (Or the closest English equivalent of the actual name anyway).

Home Universe/Name of Franchise: Stellaris.

Ship Class: Destroyer.

Role: Vanguard.

Physical Description/Image

Ship Images

---

---

Outwardly the Intrepid Reason is a rather sizeable dark grey steel ship with many ornate curves, top mounted guns, and a rear facing engine. Inwardly, however, the ship is divided into five different sections. A front facing section that contains all the equipment and space necessary for the proper operation and piloting of the craft, a mid-section that serves as a general mess and rest area, a rear section that houses the ships engine along with other vital machines, and lastly a lower cargo bay that takes up most of the crafts underbelly. It is also through here that the crew enter and exit the ship via an extendable ramp and side facing hatch. Furthermore, the Intrepid Reasons hull is lined with small thrusters-well small when compared to the rest of the ship anyway-that aid in docking procedures and other delicate maneuvers.

Although the craft does not have any officially designated space for worship or prayer, like all ships within the Empire's armada, its crew still maintains a strict schedule of religious observance to the God-Emperor. One that starts from the moment the awake from their sleeper pods and continues until their return. They also offer up a quick prayer to the Emperor before engaging in a battle,

Physical Size (roughly): 230 meters long, 97 meters wide, and 80 meters high.

Armament

• 1 Medium Eludium-Gamma Laser.
• 3 Small Eludium-Gamma Lasers.
• 1 Small Cutting Laser.

Complement (roughly)

• 3 Small Psionic Barriers.
• 3 Small Dragonscale Armors.
• 1 Advanced Reactor Booster.

Other Systems

• Zero Point Reactor.
• Psi Jump Drive.
• Impulse Thrusters.
• Tachyon Sensors.
• Sapient Combat Computer (Picket), known officially as an S.C.C. The crew of this craft in particular, like many others within the numerous branches of the empires navy, have taken the liberty of naming this device. In this case they have named it after the primary star around which their world orbits. Thus the AI is known simply as Zolta.

History of the Ship: A relatively new addition to the empire's navy, the Intrepid Reason has been patrolling within the empires borders for several years now, its crew serving the God-Emperor and his Lords faithfully for decades. While they have seen a few minor engagements with pirates and other such hostile forces, they have not yet been engaged in a full scale war the likes of which species such as the Canthari have. This does not mean they are incompetent, however, only untested on a larger scale.

Notable Crew: Regent (technically captain) Sul'ren, Head Warden Droz'ein, Battle Mistress Funae, Pathfinder Audhn, Elder Uevryth, and Phrenic Architect Ichri.

Unique Technology: Psi Jump Drive.

Crew Size: 180. While most tasks are performed via the aid of psionics, there must still be backup crew members as one gunner-for example-cannot carry out their duties forever and must rest at some point.

Faction/Operator/Owner: The Vodean Empire/Regent Sul'ren.

History of The Empire

_{Vaoth, homeworld of the Vodean Empire, orbiting the twin suns burning at the heart of the Zolt system.}

The history of the Vodeans is a long one, though not so long that it cannot be summed up adequately in a few paragraphs of text. While the Vodeans evolution has followed the same path as most other species, it took a sharp turn from the norm when the species neural pathways became more advanced as their brains slowly grew larger. Rather than forming in a way like most other humanoids had, the pathways of the primitive Vodeans developed in a way that allowed them limited access to the Shroud, which led to many members of their rapidly advancing species becoming seers, wise women, and shamans. As time went on, however, and their understanding of the realm and the powers it conveyed deepened, the Vodeans gradually refined their mostly untamed powers, eventually using them for all manner of tasks. Tasks such as the control and construction of advanced starships, which they then used to explore and colonize the rest of the system in which they lived, or the raising of great wonders.

Unfortunately, despite all of this progress, the Vodeans had yet to overcome the biggest obstacle in the history of their race. Infighting. While they were technologically advanced, society-wise the Vodeans were still stuck in the equivalent of our Dark Ages. This bloody period, most commonly referred to as the Age of Contention, was a dark time where petty warlords fought amongst each other for what little scraps of power and authority they could get their hands on, each using their psionic powers to extinguish thousands upon thousands of innocent lives in the process. It was during this time that a neophyte in a local priesthood named Bemalon decided enough was enough.

Sequestering himself away in the depths of the monastery he called home, Bemalon spent over a month in the fitful throws of meditation as he sent his mind into the depths of the Shroud, his goal to secure a vast reserve of psychic energy that he could use to put a decisive end to the near-constant civil wars his peoples leaders engaged in. While successful in this endeavor, many among the priesthood considered the boy's mind to be lost within the depths of the chaotic dimension and thus went about preparing various funerary rites, completely unaware of the fact that Bemalon was swiftly making his way back to his body even as it was being lowered into the grave. Of course, just as they were just about to bury the metallic casket within cold the bowls of Vaoth, Bemalon returned, his mind emitting a vast field of telekinetic power. Halting the movement of the coffin in which he found himself, he reversed its direction and returned it to the surface. Rising from it, he commanded those around him to kneel, and so they did. For who would deny the will of God? Taking those who had gathered round to commemorate his death, only to see him arise anew in life, he took each priest-seventeen of which there were-and made them his new lords. The first to submit to his will, and the first to serve as the blade that would behead the perpetrators of the failing system that enslaved them all.

And so, bestowing a mere fraction of his might upon these lords, he and his servants went forth to gather an army with which to purge those petulant nobles that had treated those they were sworn to protect as nothing more than mere objects. Property to be used and discarded without so much as a second thought. Engaging in a system-wide crusade, Bemalon and his loyalists eradicated the threat that had plagued their people for so many years, bringing an end to the seemingly endless infighting in one fell swoop. Once all of these things were finished, the new God-Emperor and his lords took their rightful place as the new rulers of the newly united empire. Now they sit within their gilded halls, hopping from body to body when the time is right, each steadfastly guiding the Vodean race to a better and brighter future. One where all may live in peace and harmony under the Emperor's watchful eye...

Ship Rankings

Each of these can be held by either gender, though there are some such as Battle Mistress and Battle Master that can only have one male or female occupying the position aboard an interstellar vessel at any one time.

• Regent - The legally appointed ruler or captain of a ship.
• Head Warden - The individual in charge of all defensive staff aboard the vessel.
• Battle Mistress/Master - The individual in charge of overseeing all onboard gunnery and offensive crews. Males who assumes this position are referred to as Battle Masters.
• Pathfinder - The crew member in charge of plotting a safe route through the Shroud during jumps.
• Phrenic Architect - Essentially the chief engineer of the craft, this individual ensures the ship is running at peak performance.
• Elder - The individual who oversees all religious matters on the ship, such as the keeping of the prayer schedule.

The S.C.C.

The S.C.C. Sapient Combat Computer, or Zolta, is one of the many self aware and thoroughly subservient artificial intelligences created by empire mechanists and blessed by the Emperor to assist the crew of its parent craft with whatever they might need, or in this case, combat. It runs through various simulations on a daily basis so that it might better serve its owners in the next battle, notifies the Regent when supplies need to be restocked, and provides detailed status readouts during space based engagements, among other things.

Physical Size (roughly): ~1km Long
Armament/Complement (roughly):
ATA/ATS laser batteries x20
Yamato cannon
Nuclear Missiles
Defensive missile pods
Viking Fighters
Many point defense laser batteries
History of the Ship:
The Hammer of Korhol was assigned as the defense fleet of a Terran held world near the edge of a Protoss faction's borders, for many years it would engage in small scale skirmishes with the Protoss but never any major engagements. During this time, the Terran Dominion would tear itself apart with Raynor's Raiders beginning to strike back and the resurgence of the Zerg swarm. Captain Astrovia would hold fast and protect the world under his care. Unfortunately the back-world was right in the path of two mighty forces. A Zerg splinter swarm would descend on the system along with a mighty Protoss fleet trying to prevent the swarm gaining purchase on its flank. The Battle-Cruiser was the only warship the Terrans had in the system, during the fighting it was possible to sequester a large civilian and military presence in a defensible position while the Zerg and Protoss were largely content to slaughter each other.

This went on for some time, the Swarm slowly growing and gaining a better grip on the world. Escape was impossible for the Terrans fighting their way through either force would have been suicide. As the Protoss surrendered the world to the Zerg they consructed powerful Warp Conduits to evacuate the forces that remained on the planet. Captain Astrovia in a risky, though some would say reckless, move to escape the inevitable conquest of the planet tried to force a Tactical Jump to be calculated that landed them in the warp conduit so that they would be sent to a protoss world and had a hope of escaping in the confusion or begging safe passage.

The jump however not only destroyed the warp conduit, standing many protoss on the world, but sent the Hammer of Korhol spinning through reality or the multiverse to land in the star wars galaxy.

Unique Technology:
The Yamato cannon is mounted on the prow of Battle Cruisers. The cannon draws its immense power from the ship's core, and then generates a dense magnetic field to harness a controlled nuclear reaction, turning it into a concentrated energy blast that can destroy almost anything with a few shots, even enough to decimate cities. The cannon requires a huge energy reserve to fire, requiring its own conversion generator and a fire-control station manned by nearly 100 gunnery specialists. However, the effects make it worthwhile.

The cannon is suitable for "scorched earth" work.

Energy Shields
Force fields provide protection from projectiles, energy-based weapons and electronic surveillance. Upon impact of external objects, the effect varies. Against personal force fields, bullets simply bounce off and fall. Explosive weaponry such as missiles against ships is more spectacular however, the absorbed energy creating a corona effect. The only sign of a force field deactivating is a slight ripple through the air around it,

Tactical Jump
A short range teleport used to escape incoming heavy damage or escape after sustaining damage

• 3 tubes of Disruptor torpedos.
• 2 tubes of Javelin Torpedos
• Standard FTL drive

• Standard Sensors
• Standard military grade thrusters

History of the Ship:The Glasgow is a York-class cruiser. One of the largest cruisers in the Systems Alliance Navy. 5 decks in total. 1 Officers deck, 2 gun decks, engineering deck, and a hangar/storage deck. The top most gun deck also serves as the command deck, and both gun decks have crew quarters. The Glasgow was handed to one Captain Travis Elliot shortly before the Battle of the Citadel, and attached to fifth fleet. The Cruiser had barely been out of dry dock, before it was thrust into combat. They received a call from a system alliance commander, turned spectre for aid in citadel space. The fearsome geth were being led by a spectre turned traitor named Saren. So the fifth fleet was sent through the relays into the battle of the citadel.

The crew were put through their trial of fire, helping engage geth ships, even landing a couple. But the order came in, the fifth fleet was to protect The Destiny Ascension, where the council of the Citadel were currently aboard. This cost them a third of fifth fleet, and Travis Elliot many friends. But in the end, The council was saved. Paving way for humanity to enter the council of citadel space. But this left a bitter taste in some of the members of fifth fleet, who saw the loss of life as nothing more than political maneuvering.

After the battle of The Citadel. The Glasgow, and the fifth fleet ended up getting a few peaceful moments when they were set to guard against Batarian slavers, and their raids on systems alliance planets. But it didn't take long for the Batarians to go oddly silent, and the raids to mysteriously cease. A couple months later they found their answer. A new threat, The Reapers. A species of sentient AI had come to wipe them out. All of the fleets humanity had to offer tried to slow them down, but ultimately once they reached the sol system they were forced onto the run. The Fifth Fleet was scattered to the wind in a hostile galaxy. Hit, and run attacks worked well against The Reapers, but they were too strong. They were losing.

The crew of The Glasgow were tired, they had been pushed to their limits, and they were lost. But then the order came. "Take back Earth." So they hopped aboard the closest relay, and joined onto The battle of Earth. Travis had never seen so many ships in his life. Every race in the galaxy was there to help retake Earth, but still The Reapers were heavily favored in this battle. They were just there to stall so The Crucible, a secret weapon designed to take on The Reapers could fire. It was here the crew of The Glasgow proved their worth, helping screen shuttles to enter the planet, and even deploying their own ground compliment. Holding off The Reapers, with the aid of a sister ship.

The battle for Earth was one of the most intense battles the crew had ever been in, and The Glasgow did sustain damages during it. With multiple hull breaches they couldn't hold out much longer, and they thought it was the end. Their one hope had gone radio silent, the ground crews were reporting heavy casualties, the fleets were reporting heavy damages, or casualties. Then it happened. The crucible fired, and a pulse swept through the battlefield The Reapers just stopped fighting, and the relay's went dark. Leaving The Battlefield eerily quiet for a few moments. Then the cheers came, and it echoed so loudly through the communications systems that the crew were sure they'd go deaf. But shortly after the celebration, the reality sunk in. Billions dead, multiple ships lost, millions of military personnel lost, and to top it all of The Relay's went dark. They were now isolated.

It's been two years since The Battle of Earth. The other species tried to do what they could to get back home mostly opting for using their FTL drives. While the Systems Alliance worked on rebuilding Earth, and eventually even got the Relay's running again. Three ships were chosen at random to enter the Relay to see if they worked as they used to, to go restore order and peace to the the human systems around them, and search for the council. The Glasgow is one of the three, sent because The Systems Alliance isn't sure if The Reapers are still waiting for them out there, and The Glasgow is more than happy to go.
Notable Crew:

• Captain Travis Elliot:

Immaculate Aegis

Name of Ship: Immaculate Aegis
Home Universe/Name of Franchise: Halo (https://www.halopedia.org/Main_Page)
Ship Class: CAS-class Assault Carrier
Role: Ship-to-ship combat, Fighter/interceptor deployment, Atmospheric fire support, Command and control
Physical Description/Image:

CAS

Physical Size (roughly): Length: 5,347m, Width: 2,118m, Height: 700m, Mass: 2.7 billion tonnes.
Armament/Complement (roughly):
Armament: 1× Infernus-pattern superheavy excavation beam, 2× Urpeon-pattern superheavy plasma lances, 8× Luxor-pattern heavy plasma beam emitters, 24× Mictix-pattern heavy plasma torpedo silos, 700× Ferriel-pattern pulse lasers, Multiple Plasma cannons.

Complement: The Immaculate Aegis possesses a full complement of strikecraft and transports (Banshee Fighter strikecraft, Seraphs, Phantoms, Tick boarding craft). However, it has a quarter of its usual crew (under 10,000), and a quarter of its usual ground attack vehicles (Wraiths, Ghosts, Shadows, Revenants, Banshee flyers, one Scarab).

Crew:
The crew of the vessel are primarily Sangheili and Unggoy, with some Kig-Yar and Lekgolo. Additionally, as one of the heavy defense vessels of Sangheili space, the ship possesses three Huragok. While it is only a fraction of the number of engineers such a vessel would have possessed during the height of the Covenant, the rarity and value of Huragok among the Swords of Sanghelios limit the number that can be assigned to any individual ship.

Notable Crew:
Shipmaster Falul 'Taham-

Shipmaster

Falul is a long-serving veteran, first in the Covenant military, and now for the Swords of Sanghelios. Though a mere Seraph pilot early in his service during the Human-Covenant war, he showed himself to be gifted in his understanding of space combat, even going as far as to disobey orders when he saw flaws in the tactics of his superiors. While an insubordinate attitude may have stifled his advancement, his success still earned his command of squadrons and smaller vessels.

It was not until the Great Schism that Falul earned his command of the Immaculate Aegis...by force. He was a part of the assault team that captured the vessel, and among the chaos of the fighting with no certain command structure, Falul took charge of the vessel and proved his worth as shipmaster in the battle to follow. Although his ship was unable to join in the Battle of the Ark, his performance during the preceding battle elevated his rank and allowed him to retain command of his ship. He and his vessel have since served in multiple battles in defense of the Swords of Sanghelios.

Field Commander Vael 'Virisusai-

Commander Vael

In contrast to his shipmaster, Vael was not a gifted warrior in his youth, nor did he have any particular skill nor ability that made him stand out. He entered the Covenant military in just the same way as most other Sangheili as an average warrior. He has earned his rank not through some exceptional latent ability, but rather, earned his skill through pure training and raw experience. Although his early accomplishments in the Human-Covenant war are now stained in his mind by the lies of the Prophets, he fought in battle after battle, taking more lives by his own hand than he can count. He fought against the Flood from the second of the holy rings, then against the Jiralhanae during the Great Schism.

Vael did participate in the battle against the parasite on Earth, then against the Covenant on the Ark. Throughout his long and bloody career, Vael earned a respect for his Human opponents, who showed resilience and ingenuity despite a severe technological disadvantage. Although, he did not admit that respect to himself or others until after the betrayal of the Prophets.

Eri 'Moram -

Eri

Eri is the vessel's Special Operations Officer, and is one of the more recent officers to be assigned to the Immaculate Aegis. After the Arbiter lifted the restriction on female Sangheili serving in the military, she joined immediately, having longed since she was a child to join the ranks of the heroes her elders so revered. She is young, compared to many of the other officers on the ship, but dedicated, capable, and wholly devoted to improving herself. She has risen through the ranks by serving in battles against the remains of the Covenant and other threats, but often finds herself dissatisfied that she was denied the chance to prove herself against the Flood, or the deceiver Truth.

Narak 'Chorna - As an artisan-engineer, Narak is the closest thing to a technology expert that exists among the Sangheili. He is experienced in the operation of assembly forges, though in recent years, has been assigned to coordinate with their Human allies on special projects to gain a better understanding of Covenant technology. He is not a member of the Immaculate Aegis' crew, but rather is simply on board the ship for transport back to Sanghelios from Earth, after having been taken to the edges of Sangheili space by a Human vessel.

Dr. Fiona O'Connell - Dr. O'Connell is a graduate of Koletre-Browning University on Circumstance, and specializes in xenotechnology. She is an ONI scientist who has, for the past few years, worked on multiple joint Human-Sangheili projects to reverse engineer both Covenant and Forerunner technology. She is currently working as a part of a team with Narak 'Chorna and was aboard the Immaculate Aegis for transport from an outer Sangheili colony to Sanghelios.

History of the Ship: The Immaculate Aegis itself began its service as simply a ship within the High Charity defense fleet and did not see any major combat until the Great Schism itself. Amidst the fighting, the ship was captured by Sangheili forces, and commandeered by Shipmaster Falul 'Taham.

It took time, and a great deal of fighting against Jiralhanae forces, but the Immaculate Aegis survived to join the Fleet of Retribution, commanded by Rtas 'Vadum. Unfortunately, the vessel never made it to Earth in the pursuit of the Flood, as its slipspace borer was too damaged in the previous battle to be repaired in time. So, it was unable to join in the Battle of the Ark. However, in the years since, it has served in multiple battles and skirmishes against the remains of the Covenant, Jiralhanae factions, and pirates. At present, it serves a largely defensive role patrolling Sangheili space and protecting Sangheilios and its colonies.

The Second Chance

Name of Ship: The Second Chance
Home Universe/Name of Franchise: The Commonwealth Saga by Peter F. Hamilton

TV Tropes
Wikipedia

Namely, the novels Pandora's Star and Judas Unchained.
Ship Class: (Unique)
Role: Exploration Ship
Physical Description/Image:

This image is... somewhat decent.

image1

Supplemented by two versions of the book cover art:

image2

image3

Physical Size (roughly): 400m long x 150m diameter cylinder with a 300m diameter spinning habitation ring.
Armament/Complement (roughly):
200 Missiles - of which 150 have been fired. A good half of those are nuclear.
Plasma Lances - Take plasma and weaponize it! Like a laser, but not! Very hot!
Laser Batteries - Very high frequency lasers, used in both point defense and offensive roles

Two shuttle pods - spherical craft with 10 days of delta-v, room for 15, and no atmospheric capability
24 recon/sensor/scientific satellites - in three different sizes/classes/costs/levels of usefulness.

Wormhole drive: Not a weapon per se, but, it has some useful edge cases. For example, if you chuck some kinetic rounds inside a wormhole and then accelerate the wormhole exit to a decent fraction of the speed of light, you have an effective weapon.
Or you could throw missiles in one end and have them exit anywhere else you'd like.
Of course, the Second Chance's wormhole drive is currently configured for none of this.

History of the Ship: The Second Chance was humanity's first interstellar ship. Prior to the construction of the ship, humanity had expanded into a several-dozen solar system commonwealth linked through the use of wormhole technology. Literally we got from planet to planet by taking trains through wormholes. Humanity had settled the sporadic H-Congruous planets in a big chunk of space, but had barely explored anything but the habitable planets they occupied. It wasn't until the astronomer Dudley Bose observed a pair of stars - the Dyson Pair - abruptly winking out before humanity felt the need to explore beyond the reach of commercial wormhole gateways. To quote Ozzie Isaac, one of the inventors of wormhole tech, "Oh, man, that is so beautiful. Whaddayaknow, the space cadets won after all. Let's press the red button and zoom off into hyperspace. [...] Everything we built our wormhole to avoid."

Then a rather significant incident involving a race of xenophobic, genocidal aliens happened.

This may or may not have to do with humanity sending a spaceship over to poke at a pair of stars some advanced alien race had sensibly cordoned off with a giant force field.

The Second Chance was therefore repurposed from a well-appointed, noble exploration ship into a not-great war ship. When the aliens attacked the planet Anshun - a regional industrial capital - the Second Chance was in the right place at the right time to try and defend the planet. While doing a passable job at fending off the aliens, the greatly-outnumbered Second Chance was seemingly destroyed - the enemy surrounded it with eight wormholes designed to interfere with the ship's hyperspace drive, and then 768 nuclear missiles detonated.

Astonishingly, the crew found themselves in a different universe instead of dead.

Notable Crew:
The Second Chance is currently operating in a reduced crew capacity - since the ship became a part of the Navy, there's been less need to have the full complement of science crew. So, you know, they could pick up passengers at some point.

Tu Lee, Captain.
Tu Lee is one of the many rapidly-promoted people brought about by the sudden need of the Commonwealth to create a Navy. This is her second week as Captain - the first week was a long-range recon mission searching for enemy wormhole activity.

Prior to becoming Captain, Tu Lee was the pilot of the Second Chance during its mission to investigate the Dyson Pair.

Gertrude Arany, XO.
Gertrude was the commander of a planetside coast guard ship before being drafted into the Navy. She absolutely hates space. Rather than show it, she stuffs those feelings down a deep, deep hole. She's the kind of person who refuses to back down from any challenge or task - this may be related to how much she hates space and refuses to show it. When very drunk, she may admit to her fearloathing of space.

Craig Laroch, Sensors.

Abraham Gunther, Pilot.

Unique Technology:

In general, humanity is very good at manipulating wormholes, cyber/bio-ware, and hyperspace technology, but not so good at the rest of space technology. They've got hyperspace, but sublight "drives" still operate on 300-year-old plasma rocket tech. There's no artificial gravity, but there are tattooed-circuitry limited-AI's known as Virtual Intelligences.

Wormholes - The Second Chance takes advantage of humanity's longstanding mastery of wormhole tech. Rather than a standard FTL drive, the ship makes a wormhole, slips into it, and then moves the endpoint before the ship reaches it. It travels in a series of moving wormholes, and has the capability of creating wormholes with two free-floating endpoints, given sufficient modification. Of course, that would disable the ship's FTL.

Memorycells/Re-life tech - Consciousness is backed up onto memorycells embedded in the brain. If you die, you can simply be uploaded into a new clone. Usually this is handled on a nice, comfy planet with a recovery clinic and, preferably, some recreational facilities nearby. The Second Chance, however, was going to be several thousand lightyears from the nearest human industry, so it was equipped with a slow, poorly-functioning relife clinic. It may take a couple of months before someone's clone is fully grown.

Rejuvenation - On the other hand, why wait until you die? Every 30-50 years, people can get "rejuvenated" and restore their body to a biological age of 20. This is, obviously, not a facility included on the Second Chance.

Cyberware/Biotech - Implants and wetware are commonplace. For instance, you can have a transceiver implanted into your neural network which lets you access the Unisphere (the interstellar internet) from anywhere. OC (organic circuitry) Tattoos are also common. OC Tattoos are often colorful, metallic tattoos which act as processors for other implants, allowing anything from credit transfer to expanded senses to muscle augmentations. Finally, you have the uncommon wet-wired implants - guns, forcefields, explosives, scanners and the like that are implanted beneath the skin.

Augmented reality is very much a Thing.

Force Fields - actually secretly given/suggested to humanity as a long con by an alien from a crashed ship - but they work! They're not amazing, but they are functional.

VI - Virtual Intelligence - a very capable computer program that's been carefully designed to avoid becoming self-aware. Humanity has created a true artificial intelligence - which now lives alone on its own planet, connected to humanity only by a zero-width wormhole - but people and ships limit themselves to VI's for general processing power.

Crew Size: 800, but currently down to 250
Faction/Operator/Owner: CST (Compressed Space Transport) Exploration Division. CST is the company which owns over half of the Commonwealth's interstellar wormhole network.

History:

Beginning construction in 2545, the Unbroken Hope was one of the Marathon-Class Heavy Carriers utilized by the UNSC Navy to combat the growing threat of invading Covenant forces, succeeding the Halcyon-Class in frontline flagship support. Five years later in 2550, the Unbroken Hope was cleared to deploy from its Norfolk Orbital shipyard. The Unbroken Hope's mission was to jump to Minab and defend it from Covenant assault. However, the Slipspace Drive encountered a fatal malfunction during its calculation; flinging the warship into the multiverse with all hands presumed lost.
