Military Lore

The Military of the Ephebian Cluster


 * The Ephebian Cluster Boasts some of the most advanced Military Technology in the known universe.  Far and above that used by the old Terran Hegemony.  In cooperation with corprate partners, the Navy keeps the peace throughout our little corner of space, and enables citizens to go about their lives free of assult or menace.
 * Ephebian ships can be recognized by their color scheme, White with blue detailing for Peacetime construction, and Blue with White Detailing for Wartime.  ESN ships usually are well armored, and of course, you can tell them by their large and visible armaments.
 * ESN ships usually use a fusion generator to provide power, and Ion engines for motivation.  These Ion engines use a Vectored Neutrino thrust system, providing thrust in any direction, although sometimes heavier particles are emitted.  Weapons are usually Heavy railguns or missiles, although some ships are armed with light to heavy Ion cannons, or even Bombs or torpedoes.
 * Currently, the Burau of ships Has approved classes from Fighter to battlecruiser, with plans on the Books for a Battleship, if funding ever appears.


 * ((Construction notes.  Primary weapons should be D1000 for both rockets or Railguns.  Engines should be ice crystals, and have no armor beneath them.  (a shot up the engines should be a very bad thing, and to be avoided.) All costs are catalog costs including docked turrets and subcraft.  Turrets work well with small AMC, or BB missiles.  D1000 and KB may hit your own ship, so be careful.  Most navy ships so far rely more on armor than Shields.  Shields will drive the cost of a ship up considerably, as will large engines or AMC in any quantity. Ships requiring yards for construction, must be enclosed by the yard on at least four sides, using frameworks or solid walls.))
