SCAS RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT

CODENAME: DIVINE JUDGEMENT
FOR: SAZKARJHIT PEOPLE'S MILITARY HIGH COMMAND

As per our cooperative agreement with the Sazkarjhia Defense Firm, we have begun developing a replacement for the outdated fission weaponry mounted on our ships. By using the Rarlkan'dum Supercollider in Borsarsa, we have been able to produce large amounts of antimatter, and harvested it for testing purposes.

It's a very volatile substance, and when it collides with normal particles it causes violent annihilation, making it the ideal weapon for destroying ships and surface structures. If you can allocate a large portion of the SPM budget (See calculated estimates below), we can begin constructing a prototype and test it for operation in several months' time.

FINANCIAL DETAILS:

COST TO PRODUCE ANTIMATTER IN SUFFICIENT QUANTITIES: 950,000,000,000 SAK
COST TO PRODUCE SUITABLE CONTAINMENT STRUCTURE (BOMB, MAGNETIC SLUG, ETC.): 300,000,000,000 SAK
COST TO PRODUCE ADEQUATE FIRING SYSTEM CAPABLE OF DELIVERING ANTIMAT WEAPON: 1,500,000,000,000 SAK
TOTAL COST: 2,750,000,000,000 SAK
FISCAL SPM BUDGET: 19,000,000,000,000 SAK
% SPM BUDGET: ~15

We understand that it's a very, very high cost for research and production, but once finished an average unit will be projected to cost about 10,000,000 SAK each, making production of the units a bit more manageable. If you approve of research, we wish to test with the Sazkar Rearguard, as the escalating conflicts with the New Age Equestrian Empire might prompt the need for a high-power weapons system. Now, this may take up almost 1/5 of the military budget, but keep in mind that the sheer destructive force that antimatter is capable of will essentially pay for itself.

Sylve Station, Equestrian Fringe Space

The team heard the footfalls as they proceeded forward.

"It seems they aren't willing to listen. Officer Ryna'dum, go ahead and make our point." the team leader, Captain Zanro'kum ((Caklos's son, as Caklos Zanro'kum is also the Supreme General of the PA)) ordered.

"Aye, sir." Ryna'dum replied. Beneath the black helmet and tinted yellow faceplate she was nearly grinning. She primed the two grenades, one after the other, which glowed brightly with purple-red light, and rolled them forward, and she and the rest of the team took cover. There were two pulses of bright red light, and a wave of heat that followed, spraying superheated plasma in all directions. If it didn't severely burn any Equestrians through their armor, any melted-through or punctured armor would vent their aerobic atmosphere and the chlorine air in the station would kill them first.

Except that you didn't make any kind of indication that they were cloaked. Check your writing m8

Those were SCNOSE Deep Space Insertion Commandos that I had already sent onto the station. Since your soldiers were making headway to the command center mine met them there.

Sylve Station, Equestrian Fringe Space

"Equestrians are moving in, looks like a quiet approach isn't going to work. Breach one of the airlocks and make your way through, let nothing--Sylve nor Equestrians--get in your way. Find the stationmaster, subdue him, and prep him for recovery." the Fleetmaster ordered his Commandos.

"Aye, sir" the team leader responded. He made a hand signal for his demolitions expert to come to him, who let go, using thrusts to latch onto another section of the station, and activate his magnetic boots and gloves to get a firm grip. He made another leap to one of the airlock hatches, placed a high-power breaching charge, then hopped back. After about half a minute it exploded violently, ejecting yellow chlorinous atmosphere into the vacuum of space.

"All units, move in." the leader ordered, green checks for his teammates lit up on his visor's heads-up display.

They pulled out specially-modified Type 4 Cyclonic Accelerator Rifles and flew into the hatch, quickly dispatching Sylve security personnel in the way. They shot and blasted their way through several bulkheads until they were in the main center of the station. Equestrian soldiers were there.

They raised their rifles, 1st Officer Ryna'dum, the team's explosives expert, had two plasma grenades in her hands.

The team leader activated the speaker and microphone on his suit, "Stand back. We're taking over this operation. Hostilities and empty threats from you will not be enough to stop us from getting where we want; with Equestrian bodies on the deck or not."

Sorry about that, friend. I was just trying to initiate some action, but if you want to do your own thing that's fine. If you post about it in IC I'll go ahead and pardon you.

"We will continue forward, this matter has been discussed to death."

Well if there were a wiki article on that I would've known, as I've been trying to mostly focus on the current RP.

Well, considering me starting to play ME3 realizing they're world destroyers that spread anywhere I guess idrk how to justify Sazkarjhia staying away from all that business.

Oh that was the Reapers?

Huh

Sazkarjhia is decently far away from other races, and since they had maintained neutral relations with most of the empires there really wasn't a worry for them in terms of the Uni War.
