Alex's New Chiss Ships, Stations, and Vehicles.

[Alexander Dregar]

This is going to be the thread I use from now on to create new writeups for my various ships. It will contain Battle stations, space stations, capital ships, fighters, boats, tanks, and the works. So, look back for any new developments! Also, any criticism is appriciated!

Spoiler: Xexes Battle Station

Manufactured By: Chiss Engineering Systems (CES)
Model: Xerxes Class Battle Station
Class: Battle Station

Complement:

- Mk. 4 Clawcraft (120)
- Nyr-class Bomber (40)
- Transport shuttles (30)
- Assault Troop Transports (40)
- Complete planetary strike force with provided land vehicles

Description:
This battle station contains state of the art technology, able to move across the battle field, and able to move through hyperspace. Heavy shielding, armor, and a massive amount of fighters, bombers, and weaponry, make this station a force to be reckoned with. Its primary weapon is the new 87B-Trace Cannon. This weapon is a super laser, able to shoot a solid beam of energy at its target, with pinpoint precision. Rather than a massive waste of energy, this beam is designed to cut through any obstacles. When it breaks through the shielding of a capital ship, it will cut the entire ship in half. This battle station, is not to be trifled with.

It is the mainstay personel shuttle, and can be found on nearly every type of capital ship, installation, and space station. It is not a combat ship in any sense, but holds moderate shielding, speed, agility and two defensive masers. It can hold a maximum of 70 passengers onboard. That space can also be used to transfer supplies.

 

[Zach]

This looks awesome Caris. This is a niceselection of space stations, ranging from the massive fortifications of the Chiss's defenses for primary systems, to mobile attack stations with fleets, to docking stations, to expansionary defense stations. I like it very much!

The transports are a good addition for more basic IC use, as well as the scout ship. I like having one type of transport for resources and basically any heavy lifting, while the other is troop deployment. Looks good, man. Only edit I made was the single clawcraft complement on the transport, to a Clawcraft escort. Gives it more room to carry stuff, I suppose, and they wouldn't be unguarded anyways.

 

[Zach]

Added the following designs with minor edits to the Expansionary Defense Fleet:

Xexes Battle Station
Derran-Class Space Station
Athlos Space Dock
Legion Hover Artillery
Patrol Boat
Terra Class Cargo Transport
Warhawk Scout Fighter
Ferric-Class Transport Shuttle

 

[Alexander Dregar]

As I have said before, go for the changes! My feelings can't be hurt. I am just glad you're able to use some of my designs!

 

[Alexander Dregar]

Spoiler: Alpha Class Military Installation

Manufactured By: Chiss Engineering Systems (CES)
Model: Alpha Class Military Installation
Class: Military Installation
Length: 15 meters per length.
Crew: 5 per length
Speed: Unmovable
Armor: Light
Shielding: Optional Medium shielding
Armament: All armament optional.

Anti-Space maser turrets (2 cannons)
Anti-Infantry maser turrets (2 cannons)

Complement: Optional
Low gravity wheeled vehicles
Low gravity repulser lift vehicles.



Description:
The Alpha Class military installation is designed as cheapest and most efficiently built Chiss base. Primarily used in low gravity situations, without an atmosphere, they can be built in a matter of hours. Their outer shell is lightly armored, designed more to reduce the sensor signal of the base, than protect it. Still, it does well against high and low pressures, the intense heat and cold of space, and the occasional small meteorite. With optional medium deflector shielding able to be added, as well as various light anti craft and infantry turrets, they make good bases on asteroids and small moons.

 

[Alexander Dregar]

Spoiler: Beta Class Military Installation

Manufactured By: Chiss Engineering Systems (CES)
Model: Beta Class Military Installation
Class: Military Installation
Length: 600 meters by 800 meters
Crew: 900
Speed: Unmovable
Armor: Medium
Shielding: Moderate shielding
Armament:
BX-Low Orbit Ion Cannon (1)
VD mk-10 anti-air repeating maser cannons (2 turrets with 2 cannons each)
VD mk-5 Anti-Vehicle maser cannons (2)
Standard Issue Chiss heavy repeating blasters, with generators (4 per guard house, 6 guard houses)


Complement:

Various tanks, speeders, skiffs, and light fighters. Able to be changed as needed.



Description:
The Beta Class Military Installation is among the most common forms of atmospheric outposts in Chiss space. These buildings are able to be erected in a matter of three days each. Often placed next to each other, these outposts and easily form a base complex. With moderate shielding, armor, and high powered weaponry, these are the mainstay outposts for the Chiss ground forces. Each contains repair bays, armories, barracks, mess halls, training facilities, sensors, communications devices, and other necessary implements to run a successful base. Their vehicle complement can be changed based on the mission, location and personal preference of the commander in charge.

 

[Alexander Dregar]

Spoiler: Delta Class Military Installation

Manufactured By: Chiss Engineering Systems (CES)
Model: Delta Class Military Installation
Class: Military Installation
Length: No less than 1000 meters by 3000 meters, usually more.
Crew: 7,000 at least
Speed: Unmovable
Armor: Heavy
Shielding: Moderate shielding
Armament:
BX- Orbital Ion Cannon (2)
VD mk-10 anti-air repeating maser cannons (10 turrets with 2 cannons each)
VD mk-5 Anti-Vehicle maser cannons (20)
Standard Issue Chiss heavy repeating blasters, with generators (60)

- C7-Legion Hover Artillery (10)
- Mk. 4 Clawcraft (24)
- Transport Shuttles (15)
- Nyr-class Bomber (5)
-Various other speeders, scout bikes, skiffs, and personnel




Description:
The Delta Class Military Installation is the first of the true Chiss heavy military bases. Usually built into the sides of hills and mountains, the ground itself gives it extra defensive strength. However, they take weeks to set up. Once they are up however, these bases can protect entire quadrants of a planet’s surface. Heavily armored and armed, these bases provide a formidable opponent to ground forces, as well as those in the air. Their two Ion Cannons are able to disable nearly any light to medium sized capital ship that gets into orbit around the base, keeping it safe from most orbital bombardments.

 

[Alexander Dregar]

Spoiler: Epsilon Class Military Installation

Manufactured By: Chiss Engineering Systems (CES)
Model: Epsilon Class Military Installation
Class: Military Installation
Length: No less than 10000 meters by 11000 meters, 1000 meters above the ground, with 1000 meters below ground.
Crew: 50,000 at least
Speed: Unmovable
Armor: Extremely Heavy
Shielding: Heavy
Armament:
- BX- Orbital Ion Cannon (4)
- Type-17 Heavy MegaMaser Batteries (6 Batteries, 4 Cannons per Battery)
- VD mk-10 anti-air repeating maser cannons (70 turrets with 2 cannons each)
- VD mk-5 Anti-Vehicle maser cannons (100)
- Standard Issue Chiss heavy repeating blasters, with generators (800)
- Anti-Air/Anti-Ground Heavy Rocket launchers (40, 40 rockets each)
- Heavy Missile Launchers, various warheads (8, 20 missiles each)

- Transport Shuttles (50)
- Nyr-class Bomber (30)
-Hover Rocket Launchers (50)
-Hover Maser Cannons (50)
-Various other speeders, scout bikes, skiffs, and armed personnel

Description:
The Epsilon Class Military Installation is the awe inspiring base of choice for the Chiss. This mammoth planetary fortification is able withstand even the heaviest orbital bombardments, and able to destroy any ships who make them. With four super powered Orbital Ion Cannons, these bases disable anything large enough to try to make a stand. With six batteries of Heavy MegaMaser’s on moveable arms, these monsters take out anything in the skies above them. Those on the ground are not much safer, with a massive number of armaments, and heavy shielding and armor, this base is the ultimate protection. Carrying many fighters, bombers, and assault vehicles, it can spread war across an entire planet. However, it takes many months of endless work to bring about a structure are glorious as this, and they are very expensive to produce.

 

[Fusion]

And... It's official. The Chiss now have stuff better then the Empire.

 

[Black Noise]

And... It's official. The Chiss now have stuff better then the Empire.

Unless you have some sort of constructive criticism for Alex's ships, please refrain from posting things such as this. Besides, we have more detailed things than the Empire, nothing has been said about who is 'better'. After all, it is the commanding PCs that decide battles, not small differences.

 

[Fusion]

I was giving positive feedback on these designs. The ships and stations are most impressive. I especially like the Epsilon-class station's 4 high-power ion cannons. That alone would allow it to disable a warship the size of a Star Dreadnaught before it could get in range, making it easy pickings for bombers, destroyers, or the station's own guns. It has the most potential to survive an attack of all current stations.

 

[Zach]

Comments and speculation is more than fine, although I understand where Black noise is coming from. These designs are being openly posted in the OOC boards for discussion, not just repeatedly saying they're great or how they compare to other factions. So far, nothing that's been presented has been largely out of proportion to its purpose or beyond the scale of construction capabilities, though.

Awesome additions with the ground bases, Alex. I've only added the Epsilon class to the writeup with a few edits, but I'll be reviewing the rest soon. Epsilon looks like it was most intended to be the Capital Establishment for a military headquarters, and usually found in the key worlds of Chiss space. The others seem to be the more commonly implemented bases, but I saw a good assortment of armaments and complement of forces. Good work, man.
