Avienian Empire

Species Name
The Valkeria

Species Description
A very human like race that shares many traits with them. Though over the many years, the race has become heavily augmented with both biological and nanotechnology enhancements, thus strengths depend on what role the individual plays in the society. The race all seem to have varying shades of grey hair, pale white skin, and red or blue eyes, though there are some who have dark orange eyes. The average height of a Valkeria is around 5 feet 9 inches. Their major separating trait from humans other than their more uniform skin color and eye color, there natural resistance to otherwise highly toxic environments, and to be generally more tolerant of extreme environments. Centuries of living on heavily industrialized planets allows them to easily breath and operate in highly polluted areas, whether artificial or natural. There military reflects this with its heavy use of chemical warfare.

-

Nation Name
Avienian Empire

Nation Size
Five solar systems, several outer stations, and various hidden military sites all scattered within their territory.

Nation Description
The Valkeria people began on their home planet of Avier, a planet originally vibrant and full of life. After a few centuries, large nations began to form on the planet, many having different views and values alike, but these nations were very few. There wasn't very much they could be divided on except their values and beliefs. Wars were waged, blood was spilled, and time went on until period of time known as "The Great Industrial Revolution" were the few nations of the world built immense machines, factories, and industrial complexes to fuel their advancement. From then on, the nations continued to be industrious, creating more and more advance machines and weaponry to fight each other with, yet war did not break out. Soon the resources that once fueled their heavily industrialized nations became scarcer and scarcer. The various nations started to become desperate and began forming heavy trade alliances and eventually merging in order to keep up with the demand. Finally after centuries of industrialization, merging, and alliances, two great nations stood against each other in the war to end all wars. A massive century long war broke out between the two major nations, destroying much of what they had built and finally ending in the last nation standing to rule the ruins of their world. Now that the single nation stood, it seemed it was on the brink of collapse as resources began to run thin and much of the world in ruin. The air itself had become so heavily polluted that it was almost impossible to breath. The Valkeria, desperate to save their race from massive civil war, began to look to the stars for a solution. And they found it.

For the first time, a manned mining vessel landed on one of the two orbiting moons to begin operations. Soon, the entire system had been heavily colonized and being stripped of resources. The newly formed interplanetary nation of Avienian Empire began to spread out into other systems, but as they expanded, old scares began to open and soon a great civil war broke out between the main government and other planets. The war was eventually won by Avienian Empire, but the cost once again was great. It was then the government went from a collective rule into a heavily controlling Totalitarian rule with limiter augmentations in place. The government still had problems though with fully controlling its people and needed a unifying solution.

The nation of Avienian Empire encountered its first alien species when it went to colonize their fifth system. This seemed like the unifying solution that was needed to gain complete control of the people of Avienian Empire. The government fabricated an elaborate lie that the species was all savages that murdered and raped peaceful colonists. The nation soon went to war with the alien species and quickly overwhelmed the much smaller alien nation. This set the policy of Avienian Empire on how they would deal with other alien nations. Very few nations have been able to established an alliance with the Empire's generally xenophobic government.

Nation Involvement
The Avienian Empire is always craving for new territories to add to its ever expanding empire. So it was no surprised that with the assassination of the diplomatic leader to on of the human factions, the Avienian Empire "gladly" joined into the fray to push against the seemingly even more territory hungry humans. Fingers crossed that they are here to simply push the enemy out, and not here to conquer the entire system.... While allied factions of course are not fooled, this war of attrition was already tiring out their reserves, so the massive boost in industrial muscle was more than welcomed.

-

Technology
They are fairly advanced, focusing on usually reliability and firepower when it comes to weaponry used by the Empire's forces. As a result, they mainly used kinetic based weapons, as they tend to be much more durable than their energy based counter parts.

Navy Description

Kapital Class

There are only a small handful of these massive ships equipped with huge amounts of firepower. They also posses heavy defenses with thick, high tech armored plating and a single shield that must be turned off before firing weapons or launching ships. They can carry a large invasion force or simply engage large numbers of ships. Though these ships are few and far between as they are incredibly hard to make and expensive. Also, they can only stay in space.

Sturm Class

This ship is mainly used for the invasion of planets. They can carry large amounts of soldiers and supplies as well as equipped with drop pod bays. These ships are also lightly armed, thus are usually escorted by more heavily armed ships and fighters. Commonly will land on planets after an initial invasion to deploy more heavier units and act as command bases.

Agriff Class

These large ships are mainly used for naval warfare and planetary bombardment. They are equipped with large railguns and missile pods. This is another ship that must remain in space

Raubzug Class

A missile destroyer type vessel, these mediums sized ships only posses one railgun. Though they can release huge missile barrages on targets and work great as support ships. They may also provide defense against enemy fighters. This ship can enter the atmosphere of planets.

Frigette Class

A multi role ship that provides the backbone of the fleet. Equipped with a wide variety of weaponry and medium type armor. This ship can enter the atmosphere of planets. This can carry a complement of ground forces for invasions.

Schlacht Class

Like a battleship, only more heavily armed and less armored. Mainly used for Anti Ship warfare. They also include a compliment of fighters and soldiers. It cannot go planet side.

Air Force Description

AVC-28 Light Troop Transport

This light transport can carry squads of troops into battle and is used for fast aerial assaults and extractions.

AVC-23 Medium Troop Transport

This heavily armed troop transport is used for a variety of roles from aerial assaults to Air to Ground support.

AVC-44 Heavy Transport

This large transport is mainly used for logistical support or heavy aerial assault. Though it is very lightly armed.

AVC-74 Fighter Bomber

This aircraft is a multi role vehicle, being able to engage enemy ground, air, and space units depending on its payload.

Ground Force Description

Ground Troops:

The Ende Truppe (Regular Infantry)

These soldiers have been augment with pain limiters and are heavily trained, making tough soldiers. Due to both their equipment and the state of most the planets, they can fight in hazardous environments very effectively. They mainly use kinetic type weaponry such as rifles and machine guns. A squad usually consists of three rifle men, a medic, an anti infantry soldier, an anti vehicle soldier, and a squad leader. Anti Infantry soldiers are armed with machine guns and grenade launchers. The Anti Vehicle soldier is typically armed with a multi purpose missile launcher and rail-gun. All soldiers are equipped with armored suits that protect them from medium to light weaponry, both kinetic and energy based. Their helmets provided a sealed environment and advanced HUD. Various secondary equipment is also attached for various roles. Marksman may have enhanced zoom optics while medics may have special modules for evaluating trauma to friendly soldiers.

The Vernichtung Truppe

These soldiers are the special forces of the military, often being deployed via orbital drop pods. They have been augmented with combat enhancers such as strength and speed and are used for going behind enemy lines and wreaking havoc, or as a quick reactionary fighting force. As seen in the image, they are equipped with special power armor and weapons, sometimes even experimental such as personal shields or energy lances. However, due to their wide variety of armaments, each squad will probably be equipped differently in comparison to the last.

Vehicles:

APK-354

This armored wheeled vehicle is equipped with twin energy cannons, being on of the few energy weapon platforms used by Empire forces. It's also armed with a rocket pod, carrying four missiles of varying types. The APK-354 is quite fast and highly mobile, but lacks any serious armor. Its only real defense is its Electron shield to protect it from enemy explosives. It can easily carry a squad's worth of soldiers.

WK-67 Main Battle Tank

This heavy, versatile tank carries twin 120mm rail guns that can punch through shields. It is also equipped with a single missile pod that can launch two to four missiles of varying types. Though its only sort of shield is a "Electron Shield" that can only protect it from explosive projectiles.

AG-66 Belagerung

This large, heavy walker is used in for siege type battles and heavy support with many weapons. Most notable would be the large 170mm rail gun turret mounted on the top. It doubles as a mobile AA platform and command center.

AG-24 Mobile Artillery Platform

This large, automated 190mm regular howitzer as a variety of ammunition it can fire, ranging from massive HE rounds to large gas canisters for chemical warfare.

AK-90 Mobile Mechanized Armor

"That's the Butcher of Ak'Aria! We're screwed! We are all screwed!"-unnamed enemy soldier

This is an example of the most common form of the unit. Highly configurable and rugged, these machines are probably some of the most notorious war machines that the Empire's forces are known for aside from their heavy use of chemical warfare. From melee weapons to 50mm autocannons, these are very versatile weapon platforms that can take a serious number of punches thanks to its advanced shielding. Each unit is also equipped with boosters, allowing them to be highly agile for its size and be deployed at high altitudes with shock troopers. The main drawback is that they are not very common. Much skill, training, and combat experience is required before a pilot can merge with this machine.

Headquarters
The Karvanta Foothold. A large, heavily defended base with three Sturm Class ships landed in the center. These three ships will occasionaly take off once they have finally finished unloading their massive cargo holds, but it takes a very long time to empty a Sturm class, thus its not very common. The main fleet holds a part of it in orbit above the base, protecting it from any orbital attacks.

Persons of Importance
Wolk Vankompf, Kommandeur of the Avienian Empire
Helma Walsi, General of all ground operations in Anuria
Argil Hensel, Commander of all orbital assets of the Anuria Campaign

Hello, hello, hello! Glad to see this revived! Count me in.

REGENESIS

Awwwww yeah. Let's get it started. Opening up with a bounty to claim.....

Sky Warriors

REGENESIS

Name:
Katherine Valkya
Race:
Human
Gender:
Female
Age:
26
Occupation:
Bounty Hunter

Personality/Interests
Katherine serves herself and only herself. Everything else is secondary, in her eyes, when it comes to her actions. She's a bounty hunter because it pays the bills, she brings you back dead instead of alive cause its a hell of a lot safer than trying to capture you. Only making friends if they serve a role or purpose, never just to "be friends". In other words, she's a cold, selfish person at the very core of her being. Now, notice the specification on the "core" part. On the outside, it all depends on who you are. Katherine can be deceptively friendly or cheerful if it means furthering her own goals, which, might I add, includes stabbing you in the face if need be. Very few know of this, however, as most end up dead before it's too late.

Details of Appearance:
Clothing:
Typical Outfit (Disregard the gun, of course.)
Body build:
Meduim- Not to muscular, not to lean.
Hair:
Cut just about the shoulders, somewhat messy, but never left to grow to long.
Hair color:
A mat grayish white.
Skin color:
Pale white
Eye/Iris color:
An icy Blue
Height/Weight:
Stands at around 5'7 with a fairly normal weight.
Notable Features:
Two dark grey, triangular cheek marking, mostly likely involved in her magic. Her right eye carries a blue flame when she uses her magic. Large amounts of scaring on her back and lower front body.

Equipment
-Smoke Bombs-
-Magnanese Bombs-
(Flashbangs)
-Spring-loaded "Far Runner" Leggings-
(A crude exosuit like equipment for her lower body that allows her to jump super human heights and run for longer, but not faster.)
Weapons
A double edged, Carbon Steel Shortsword infused with a magic lining that can be charged by the user's magic.
Around seven different fixed blade knives as back up weapons
A compact, single handed crossbow with bolts for "discreet" take downs.

Unique Abilities
-Battle Mage-
Katherine is a rare variation of the traditional mage. Instead of having to hide behind their armored buddies, battle mages are right there on the front lines with their fellow swordsmen, often hacking away just as much. They use a combination of the right combat spells that flow smoothly with their own normal style of fighting. Often they are focuses around two or three key spells, then small variations of said spells. For Katherine, it she focuses on two core spells.

A Cold Face
A good example of what it's like.
(Oh and for spoiler reasons, don't watch past the initial attack!)
She can summon three variants of these creatures. They are floating heads of a skeleton like creature that fire beams of magic. First are two large heads, that fire large, powerful beams before fading away. Second, and most common, four watermelon sized heads that fire powerful beams before fading away. Finally, the third, can be a swarm of small headed ones, firing smaller beams, often to keep a target off balance and moving.

The Impalication
She can summon spears of pure magical energy to attack her opponent. She can either summon them into her hand, launch them, or even summon them at the ground of her target. However, the last option is not often used, as it gives off a blue glow on the ground before appearing, allowing it to be easily dodged. Still, it's useful for keeping opponents on their toes when yur tryin to shank em!

Skills/Talents
Very fast and agile. Dodges like a pro and loves to get all close and staby before her opponent can react. That said, she's also not one to take heavy hits, so this makes it even more so important to remain on her toes. Her perception is also very good, both in and out of combat. This allows her to guess her opponent's moves and plan in advance. Now, don't take this as being able to predict the future. This is much more like the idea of chess applied in a fight. The more skilled the opponent, the harder it is to figure out the counter move before they even think of the move itself.

All and all, a skilled fighter who focuses on agility and perception to win her battles.

History
Would rather it be revealed through time. For now, let's just say...

She's had a real bad time.
