Confederate Marines - Sipahi Armor Mk.II

 

General Index: Allied Stars Confederation

General entry: Confederation Military

Local heading: Star Marine



After the chaos of the Tnarxian invasions, the re-establishment of a centralised state within the so-called ‘Syrian Bubble’ could only come through the use of force.


Space was, of course, the main war front.

Therefore, the Confederate forces immediately employed, massively, troops suitable for space combat.


Although the Star Marines use armour of Tnarxian technology, as can be seen from the adoption of green as the official colour of the army uniforms, the Sipahi armour is directly descended from the Cataphract built during the Union of Earth.


Constructed of heavy carbon polymers and diamond fibres, it is covered in a layer of ablative materials (Lawrentium) that almost entirely reflects personal lasers and much of the wavelength of military lasers.

The helmet has an integrated visor, modelled on those of the Galian Tri-State.

The rifle he carries is a Gauss half-cannon, Skyworks Novaspear 9000 model, which is used in boardings against heavier ships.

Forewords

  Forewords This setting was born from my love of space opera. Unlike other settings, this universe is playable with the Cepheus system, the rules for which can be found online (Cepheus SRD). In the next few days, I'll publish a general introduction and then begin with the setting's elements. For simplicity's sake, I'll group them by star state. This setting has a troubled origin. Initially conceived as a sci-fi fantasy, then transformed into an apocalyptic sci-fi, I redesigned it as a space opera, reminiscent of my sci-fi mythos. The Foundation, the Universe of the Alliance and the Confederation and Traveller RPG. You'll find that some elements are direct references to my favorite sci-fi worlds, but overall I tried to be as original as possible. The maps and flags are drawn by me. The images will mostly be AI-generated, because, much to my regret, I'm terrible at drawing :-( As a final warning: Obviously, the setting is absolutely not realistic. Space travel is...

Singularity Engine

  General Index: Science and Technology General entry: Travel technologies Local heading: Singularity Engine The Singularity Engine is one of the greatest innovations of this era and although today it is used in almost all space states, it was initially only developed by the Earth Union and the League of Free States on Boros. On Terra it was developed as a result of the need to move small fleets more quickly in the war against the Draedar. The Jump Drive required a great deal of energy, very precise calculations and took time to travel between two points, time that depended on both the distance and the mass of the two bodies. The Singularity Engine requires the same large amounts of energy and very complex calculations. Problems to which terrestrial and Borosian engineers (the former from Kyoto University, the latter from Vorthak University on Boros) were able to solve using the extremely powerful Drozanian quantum computers (or Busharak, in the case of the Kolangon on Boros) and s...

Drozan Confederate Officers

Immagine
  The Drozans are native to the planet Druzular around the star Dagzal which humans call Sirius. Drozular is a planet with unique environmental conditions, with high levels of radiation due to Sirius's irradiation. Local life forms have had to adapt by building a carbon shield highly resistant to ionization and radiation. There are three major Drozan phenotypes, but in reality the coloration of their epidermis (essentially a layer of glass) can not only vary greatly, but also has no real ethnic significance and depends on external and internal conditions at the time of birth. Although sometimes mistaken for silicon creatures, Drozans are not mammals, they are essentially crystal life forms, but have two sexes with fairly pronounced sexual dysmorphism (though not quite like humans or Draedar). Thanks to their silicon nature, Drozans have a strong resistance to radiation and heat. Under stress, or in times of great need, they can even seal their orifices and survive for several minut...
