Azure BubblesName of Ship: Kuriotes
Home Universe/Name of Franchise: Sins of a Solar Empire
Role: Heavy Combat Cruiser
Physical Description/Image:
Physical Size (roughly): Upwards of 500 meters or so
Armament/Complement (roughly): 4 Heavy Plasma Cannons
History of the Ship: One of the many ships produced for the Reckoning, the Kuriotes took part in the initial invasion of Trader Emergency Coalition space. The Advent fleet scythed through defenseless worlds, putting many to the sword while converting those who chose to give their lives up to the Unity, before eventually meeting their challenge in redeployed Trader Defense Navy units pulled from the front with the Vasari.
After that the Kuriotes was part of the brutal slug that began to develop, taking part in heavy fleet engagements as the TEC fortified and the Advent ground against the defenses of their core worlds. The ship was returning from downtime for routine maintenance after the wear and tear of fighting, to participate in a campaign in the Tion sector when they encountered a gravitic anomaly in phase space that brought them here.
Notable Crew:
Unique Technology:
Psitech - technology that augments and boosts psychic powers
Antimatter generation - Does what it says on the tin, typically through a reactor that powers the ship and lets it move
Phase Drive - Allows a ship to jump to 'phase space' quickly traversing between gravity wells in another dimension. Unfortunately you can't shoot while charging up the drive and you have to be aligned with your target.
Crew Size: 600
Class: Destra Crusader class Cruiser
Faction/Operator/Owner: Advent, member of the Xon Precept
Strengths:
-Psychics: Advent society is based around the development of psychic abilities, augmented by the use of technology. As a such it pervades their people, allowing for telepathy, telekinesis, and a myriad of other abilities. Only some of these can be used on a ship scale level however, such as telepathy, and the ability to project their emotions onto an enemy ship to inhibit the effectiveness of its crew.
Malus:
-Fanaticism: The Unity is the driving force of the Advent, and it has been dedicated to the destruction of the Trade Order for as long as anyone on the ship can remember. They act by its consensus and will need significant persuading from outsiders to not actin a way that furthers the Unity. Including, you know, horrible atrocities. It makes it hard to get along with people, particularly moralistic mercantilists.
-Dissent in the fold: Under the strain of war the Unity has begun to fray at the ends, with some elements aghast at the actions taken by their fellow Advent and have begun to think that there is perhaps something wrong and perverted within the Unity, corrupted by the desire for revenge. Though there has been no open conflict yet, sentiments nonetheless linger and fester. Perhaps even closer than any aboard the Kuriotes might expect
Culture regarding the existence of aliens: They exist, they're okay as long as they embrace the Unity but every alien race we've met so far is either not advanced enough to have space flight or is actively fighting us. So take that as you will.
Major Religion - The Unity. Duh
