Well, since people have begged, here's my stuff for Starscape: Ships Sepiida-Class Fighter Class Size: Fighter Class Function And Description: A Sepiida is a one-man fighter that is used in a support role. They are usually carried on Typhoon-class Dreadnoughts, but also on starbases. It is a sleek ship, with the MAC in front of the central cockpit, and two arms extending back, then angling forward from the side with an autocannon on each. A long projection extends back above the engine. Titanium armor. Either Sui'Malo or Bivalvi pilot. Class Weapons: 1 MAC or plasma missle launcher, two plasma cannons. Actinaria-Class Starbase Class Size: Starbase Class Function And Description: The starbases around Treanu keep it safe from enemy attack, and are full of weapons. They appear as long pillars with three oval-shaped parts around it, making it thicker. These can fold out, becoming a weapons platform, while the pillar forms the NHR. Class Weapons: One NHR, one carrier bay, One battery of autocannons, one atomic missle launcher, and a particle beam cannon. Cnidaria-Class Colonizer Class Size: Colonizer Class Function And Description: The largest ship is a bit bigger than a Typhoon, containing most of the needed terraforming tools. It has mostly smooth edges, with short, wide rectangular glowing pieces poking out in some places. Four glowing 'wings' extend from the nose, and spin around somewhat slowly. It's surrounded by a large fleet of drone ships used to terraform worlds, these can be stored in the main ship in the event of attack. It is escorted by two small ships, around 3/4 the size of a Storm, for protection. Class Weapons: the escort ships contain two MACs, an autocannon battery, and one particle beam gun each. Physalia-Class Dropship Class Size: Small Class Function And Description: Long and lean, with a carrier bay for fighters, tanks, infantry, or the occasional battle mechs, a titanium armored ship which is used to either transport fighters or as a dropship. Requires defense of fighters or of a larger ship. Class Weapons: fighter or dropship bay, point defense lasers, and an autocannon. Bivalvi Caridea-Class corvette (Bivalvi) Class Size: Small Class Function And Description: A Bivalvi ship, about twice the size of the Millenium Falcon from Star Wars. Crew of four, with a squad of five marines, all Bivalvi. Being a Bivalvi ship, it is more blocky and angular than Treanuan ships, which are smoother. Appears rather rectangular, but with a pointed head concealing the Naval Railgun, and curves outward on the two sides. Class Weapons: 1 Naval Railgun, two MACs and an autocannon Brachyura-Class Battleship Class Size: Medium Class Function And Description: The Bivalvi counterpart to the Teuthis, a long ship that forms the main part of the Bivalvi fleet. Looks like: http://images.alphac...om/846/8461.jpg from the rear. Class Weapons: Naval Railgun, Battery of Autocannons, Point-Defense lasers, and a small battery of missiles. Nephropidae-Class Destroyer Class Size: Large Class Function And Description: Gigantic ships, the Bivalvi Destroyers put awe and fear into the hearts of their enemies. They are long, blocky ships, and pack a huge punch on the battlefield. Looks like: http://www.ravestats...t-phoenix-1.jpg (Ignore the Smaller ships and the frontal weapons array) Class Weapons: Two batteries of autocannons, atomic missile battery, naval railgun, point defense lasers, Fragarach-Class Fusion Cannon Treanuan Scyphozoa-Class Interceptor Class Size: Small Class Function And Description: Work in groups of four, called Flights, to support Teuthis and Archaeteuthidae Class Ships Appear as a long ship tapering down to the ion drive in the rear, while tapering slightly to the cockit. Two arms extend off it and curve forward, around the spherical cockpit. Crew of one Tsui’nau, four Sui’malo, and a squad of five Sui’Malo marines. Class Weapons: Two autocannons on the arms, one fusion missile launcher on the belly, and a Particle Beam Gun on the nose. Teuthis-Class Battlecruiser Class Size: Medium Class Function And Description: A long ship about half the size of a star destroyer from Star Wars, has a large ion propulsion engine in back. In front it splits into four separate arms around the railgun. Covered in small metal 'bubbles' around it, which hold both boarding pods, and Ka'sharek soldiers. When enemy infantry is detected on the ship, the bubbles open, relasing the Ka'Sharek, who otherwise are in hibernation. Has 10 Maladu warriors, 50 Ka'Sharek, 30 Sui'Malo marines, 20 Sui' Malo crew, and one Tsui'nau who controls the ship. Class Weapons: One Naval Railgun, autocannon battery, twin fusionmissile launchers. Architeuthidae-Class Dreadnought Class Size: Large(Plus 1 for carrier bay) Class Function And Description: The dreadnought is a fearsome ship, 3 times as large as a Battlecruiser. It is a long ship with the same Ka'sharek soldiers on the outside, as well as boarding pods, though there are more of them. It has a retractable opening in the front for the superweapon, with a Railgun and the carrier bay below that. Like all Treanuan ships, titanium armor. Populated by 30 Maladu warriors, 120 Ka'Sharek, 70 Sui'Malo Marines, 40 Sui'Malo crew, and one Tsui'nau captain. Class Weapons: One Trident-Class Particle Cannon, one Naval Railgun, autocannon battery, atomic missile battery, point defense lasers, and two fusion missile launchers. Carries ten fighters in the carrier bay. Weapons Naval Heavy Railgun Weapon Size: large Mechanics: A very large railgun, this can blow a hole in the side of even a large ship. It's the second most powerful weapon in the Treanuan arsenal. Particle Beam Gun Weapon Size: small Mechanics: a much smaller version of the Trident, has a slow rate of fire, but its able to one-shot most fighter and small ships, and do a good amount of damage to mediums. On a large, it's only really effective two shut down electronics with the EMP it produces. MAC(Magnetic Acceleration Cannon) Weapon Size: Small Mechanics: Basically a small railgun, this uses magentic force to fire a metal projectile at great speeds. Works well against fighters and small ships. Naval Railgun Weapon Size: Medium Mechanics: The older brother of the MAC, this is basically just a larger version. Uses depleted uranium shells for added damage. Great against Medium, with a fairly decent amount if damage on larges. Atomic Missile Battery Weapon Size: Medium Mechanics: Four shots for each launcher, four in a battery. Fires a shell containing a small hydrogen warhead. Excellent against Medium and Small, decent damage against large. Autocannon Weapon Size: Small Mechanics: Basically the chaingun of railguns, fires metal projectiles through magnetism at very high speeds at a machinegun rate of fire. Not as powerful as the MAC, but the speed somewhat makes up for it. Fragarach-Class Fusion Cannon Weapon Size: superweapon Mechanics: Uses atomic fusion to generate a very large amount of energy, which is then blasted out the front of the ship at the target. Because of severe energy drain, each ship can only carry one shot. However, it’s quite impressive, and it has value as a psychological warfare device- A direct hit can destroy any ship, and the resulting shockwave will take more with it. Trident-Class Particle Cannon Weapon Size: Superweapon Mechanics: Fires a stream of ionized and accelerated particles at its target, tearing through even the largest of ships with a direct hit. As an added bonus, the electromagnetic wave generated on contact with target shuts down electrical systems on ships in close proximity. When the retractable front section of a Dreadnought is opened, it's fired, and appears as a spiraling column of blue light.

Since Xom (or, if you like, King of Shadows, though that only applies to shadows inside of time, so I'm quite out of his jurisdiction) is deathly allergic to blogs, I'm going to be helpful and post the Syrrinx tech he's provided specs on in this blog entry. SHIPS Class Name: Elemental Class Size: Fighter Class Function And Description: Space Superiority Fighter, meant to destroy enemy fighters and bombers, and provide close support to Syrrinx Ground Troops. Trans Atmospheric. Class Weapons: Three Rotary Missile Launchers Class Name: Changeling Class Size: Small Class Function And Description: Stealth Ships. Equipped with a Cloaking Device. Designed for firing on far-away targets in hit-and-run attacks. Its railgun is far better at range than RMLs are due to their higher shell velocity, at the expense of rate of fire. It is also much slower than a Hobgoblin due to a higher mass. Class Weapons: 1 Railgun, 2 Rotary Missile Launchers, 1 Cloaking Device Class Name: Hobgoblin Class Size: Small Class Function And Description: MISSILE BOATS DAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKA Class Weapons: 7 Rotary Missile Launchers Class Name: Harpy Class Size: Medium Class Function And Description: Built on the Faeire chassis as a Battlemech Deployment vehicle. Mechs are shot from the ship through a large cannon on the nose of the ship. Going down in metal-foam lined drop pods with large retro-thrusters, the mechs can land safely using carefully computed trajectories, letting them come down at the same time in precise areas. Class Weapons: One Dropship Bay, 5 Rotary Missile Launchers Class Name: Sprite Class Size: Medium Class Function And Description: Force Projection; meant to get fighters onto the battlefield and provide a core for their operations. Class Weapons: One Carrier Bay, 5 Rotary Missile Launchers Class Name: Faerie Class Size: Medium Class Function And Description: Battlecruiser. Designed for hunting other Cruisers. Its heavy weapons load is excellent at hunting cruisers, and Faeries work well with Sprites Capable of damaging Large ships in a one-on-one fight. Class Weapons: 2 Railguns, 2 Rotary Missile Launchers Class Name: Kraken Class Size: Large Class Function and Description: Carrier. Brings a full wing of fighters to the battle, and is a deadly ship all its own, the Kraken is primarily used for force projection; swarming enemy ships with a horde of fighters. Class Weapons: 1 Carrier Bay, Four Rotary Missile Launchers, 1 Starcannon, Antiproton Gun Class Name: Dragon Class Size: Large Class Function And Description: Dreadnought. Visually resembling a cinderblock mating with an angry cathedral, the Dragon is designed for bombarding enemy cities, Starbases, and other Battleships, a Dragon will inevitably be the focus of any battle it is present on, for it can turn the tide of entire wars. Class Weapons: 1 Starcannon, two Railguns, 1 Point-Defense Network, Antiproton Gun Class Name: Wyvern Class Size: Large Class Function and Description: Missile Boat, Fighter/Small ship hunter. Mounts several Rotary Missile Launchers. Built on the hull of a Dragon, but the removal of the Starcannon allows for an oversized engine, allowing the ship to accelerate unreasonably fast; at similar rates to a Small ship, in fact. Class Weapons: Antiproton Gun, 15 Rotary Missile Launchers Class Name: Harnos Class Size: Starbase Class Function And Description: Repair and heavy fire support of Syrrinx ships in orbital operations; reload and protection for Fighters. Class Weapons: 16 Rotary Missile Launchers, 1 Point Defense Network WEAPONS Name: Autocannon Weapon Size: Small Mechanics: Similar to a modern tank gun, with an automatic loading system. Fires 30 Shells per minute. Can fire a variety of shells, most commonly used with a penetrating tip. OBSOLETE Name: Rotary Missile Launchers Weapon Size: Small Mechanics: Fires a whole lot of tiny, guided, antimatter tipped missiles to overwhelm anti-missile defenses with sheer numbers. 0.1 Kiloton yield. Name: Railgun Weapon Size: Medium Mechanics: Uses magnetic pulses to fling a shell at 3000 m/s with a depleted uranium tip. Kinetic energy immense. Name: Starcannon Weapon Size: Large Mechanics: Uses magnetic pulses to fire what is essentially a thirty gigaton nuclear fusion bomb, fused to go off a moment after impact and designed to take the impact undamaged Capable of destroying large cities and blowing massive holes in enemy formations. Not capable of one-shotting battleships, but it will nicely damage them. Requires a long recharge time for the magnetic coils after firing. Name: Antiproton Gun Weapon Size: Superweapon Mechanics: Fires a constant stream of negatively charged antimatter particles. As these particles travel through space, they spread out due to mutual charges repelling each other. Thus, while a tight beam leaves the barrel, a large cone hits the target. Best used against large clouds of small ships, to that effect.
