Heavy Pulse Cannon and Pulse machine Guns:the Pulse Weapons uses the same things as the Pulse Rifle accept Bigger rounds and many of these Pulse Cannons are Mounted.
Ship Weapons Types.
Steller Converter:The Steller Converter is a Planet Killer Class weapon.The Main Cannon of this weapon is builded threw the entire center of the ship from front to back.It focuses all the energy on the ship into one powerful beam that could punch a hole stright threw a Planet.The power of such a weapon also leaves the ship with out power for at least 1 hour leaving only enough power for the Ion Drives and about 25% of the Defence systems to work.
Ion Thruster:Ion Thruster is builded the same way as the Steller Converter accpet this is primarly made for Ship combat.The Ion Thruster is no where near as powerful as the Steller Converter but it still packs a Big enough punch to Damage a War Class Attack ship.
Ion Mass Driver:The Ion Mass Driver is Primarly Made for Planetary bombardment against enemy forces on the ground and bunkered in areas.The Weapon has a Semi-Rapid fire Brust only for a short time before firing again.
Sunlight Redireaction Beams: The Sunlight Redireaction Beams is a Deadly Wide Range weapon that can Bypass enemy shields.The weapon focuses its energy into the power of the suns Rays.This weapon drains little to no power on the ship and Generates lots of heat on the target it aims for.Any fighters or Missiles caught in the Beam are Destroyed or Heavly Damaged.Larger war ships are heated up to the point where all Personal on bored are cooked alive and Burned to death.this weapon takes about 10 Minutes to kill all personal on bored an enemy ship.
Missiles Pods:Missiles pods are used everywhere on all Triborg Ships and Ground forces.Most Missiles carry Basic Ion Missiles which are powerful Ion Weapons that explode with a Deadly shock wave like explosion.Ion Missiles are a Commonly used Weapon on all Triborg ships.Other then the Ion missiles there are also Tiberium Missiles which carry the deadly Radioactive Crystals that Grow on almost anything converting it into more of the Deadly Crystals.
Ion Pulse Cannons:The Ion Pulse Cannons are a Medium range attack weapon which is used in attack large war ships up close and attacking incoming enemy Fighters.The Weapon system uses both Pulse technology and Ion technology.
Ion Burst Cannons:The Ion Brust Cannons and Ion Brust Pulse Cannons fire there weapons with Rapid Fire Brust to save up on energy.These are the Primary Weapons used to destroy Fighters and incoming Missiles.
Ion Projector Cannons: Ion Projector Cannons are slow at Firing but are very deadly.They fire out lare Chunks of Ion energy that rip apart anything they come close to.These Weapons main goal is to destroy an enemy war ship Shields and Armor that protects it.
Tiberium Beam Cannons:This Weapon is still and experimental weapon which is Not used very much due to the Radation it emites.Almost that same as the Sun light Beam cannons but in the use of Tiberium Radation which can kill and Mutate people in infected ones.
Other Technology.
Crystal Steel:Crystal steel is made from Tiberium after the radation has been extracted and been reconverted into a Crystal Steel.the Crystal Steel seems to Azorb incoming energy weapons and azorb 25% of the Force and energy of an energy weapon.The Crystal steel also Grows and over time a Large war ship could regenate its own outer hull after several Years which saves money and time as it regrows back to where it was at before being damaged.
Ion Steel:The Ion steel is normale Steel compressed with Ion energy with in it.After several hours of being made the Ion steel have been created.Ion steel is made for taking large amounts of damage from incoming Missiles.As for energy though the Armor provides a small amount of protection against it.
Ion Crystal Steel Mesh:the ion Crystal Steel Mesh is the Best known armor for all ships and some ground forces.The armor provides the Best defence and can also Regenerate over time.
Ion Shield Generator:Nearly all triborg Forces have shields or some kind of Shielding system to protect them.The Ion shields are the Best known shields among the triborg forces.
Damper Field Generator:the Damper Field is a New type of Shielding system and block off all incoming enemy weapons and Impact up to 50%.This technology has helped the Triborgs in Dozens of Battles against there enemys reduceing an enemy attack by Half.
Nano Repair pods:Only found on a few Ground Units the nano Repair pods are made for Rebuilding the unit it was attached to after it was destroyed.Normalely the nano repair Pods will activate after 2-3 hours after being destroyed and with in about another 2 hours the Unit will be rebuilded and ready for combat again.
Jump Thrusters:jump thrusters and Jump Jets are used by Ground forces.These Jump thrusters gives our forces an extra eage on the battle field against our enemy.These powerful jump Jets give our forces the abilty to jump high and far from our enemys.used to escape or leap into Battle.
Advance Enviromental Battle Helm:the battle helm is used for Delta and Alpha Elite forces only.This Helm provides protection from Posionus gasses and small amount of protection from radation.
Mark Class Battle Armor:The mark class battle armor is provided to all Humaniod Forces. All the Mark battle armor has a strong Bullet proof like Vest and also comes with a life support system.Mark I, II, And III are padded with lether and small metalic Plates.The Mark X battle armor is almost part of the Soldier and has small crystal Steel Plates builded in it to provide Maxium Protection.
Scanners:Scanners are the basic thing used by almost all ground forces.Some scanners are more advance but other then that they all do the same.they are also linked together and use a comm system to communicate with each other.they also scan for enviromental threats, Bombs, and Possibly Stealth enemys.
Multi-Scanner Defence System:The Multi Scanner system is the Ships Main A.I. Scanner system and targeting system.The Multi Scanner uses Radar, High-res video, Motion Finder Systems, and Energy Detector.
Camo System:the Camo system is Made for Cloaking to provide Stealth and Special Ops Missions.the Camo system also provides the best chance of staying unoticed in Unknown Systems.
Transwarp Drives:the Transwarp Drives are the Basic Drives for Hyper Space travel.this is the Only way to Travel fast.
Ion Drives:the Ion drives are Basic Engines that pushes the Ship forward during Normale space travel.
Third Space Portal Drive:the Third Space Portal Drives are a new but still Experimental drives.to all we know that Third Space drives are 1,000 times faster then Hyper Drives and Slpi stream Drives.there has been only one Major Problem about traveling threw third space,The Portal that opens up goes into another unknown Realm where the enemys we have encountered there has been considered More powerful then any other race encountered.we call them the forces of Third Space and possibly the Guardains of that realm.Only two ships have third Space drives and that is the Black Ops Cruiser and the Giga Cruiser.
Ion Fusion Reactors:Using Ion and Fusion Technology,We have found the most perfect and best energy soruce known.The Ion Fusion Reactors and Generate up to 36 Billion Kilowatts.More then enough energy to run the ship.
Tiberium Reactor:the Tiberium is an experimental energy reactor.the Tiberium Reactor uses Tiberium crystals to power up the ship.This is still a new type of energy soruce and still trying to work out the bugs.
Tiberium Farms:Tiberium Farms are only found on Factory Stations to provide an endless supply of Matierals for building ships, Weapons, and Triborg Robotic Soldiers.This is also an area where persioners of war are placed for Excution.
Factorys:Factorys are located every where, On Major ships, Factory Stations, and on the ground on a Planets surface.The Factorys produce Weapons, Machine Soldiers, and Vehicals.Where there is a factory......there is always a Tiberium Farm and a Tiberium matter Converter.
Tiberium Matter Converter:The Tiberium Matter converter is used in all Factorys to Convert the Mineral Rich Tiberium into useful Items and materials.It is a fast Process at this point in time and is the best way of making everything we need to get the job done.Nearly 90% of all our weapons, Ships, Armor, and even the Cloths we wear is made from Tiberium.The Radation is extracted out and re converted into a useful material.
Cloneing Stations:The Cloneing Stations are what makes our Humaniod Soldiers stronger and Better.The Human Soldiers are Geneticly enhanced for combat and have all Knowlage of what is currently happening and what has happened lately.
Triborg Translators:The Translators of the triborg forces is a Special communication abilty to translate what other races with a total diffrent launghage is saying.The Triborg Translator is also cable of a small amount of psychic communicate.Not very often used but helpful to communicate with other races that uses this type of Cummunication.
Ship Sectors.
On all Triborg Ships accept Fighters,Certain Ships have diffrent areas and sectors.here is a list so you may have an idea of what the inside of a ship is.Certain ships will be bigger and have more floors but they all have certain sectors.Certain Sectors will have Ceiling turrents and ground turrents and those sectors will have a * meaning they are Defended.
This also Includes factory Stations layouts and all other ships.Only for the Giga Curiser, Black Ops Cruiser, Factory Station, and the Holy Catherdral the Area Other is inculded.

Triborg Bio Weapons.
Infected ones, Crabs, and Tiberium.
Infected Ones.
Basic Infected Ones:The Basic Infected ones are easly dismantled accpet when being attacked in large numbers.They were once a human who is now an infected one due to Tiberium Posion, Radation, or Crab take over.these types are mostly Civilains, Pilots, Crew members, and anyone eles who is not part of the miltary or a main soldiers of the front line.These Infected ones only use there deadly claws to atack and have been seen able to fight with only there upper half of there body still intact.Some times when the body is destroyed the crab will detach it self from the head of the host and seek out another.Best way of taking them out is aiming for there head or setting them into flames.beware of possible Tiberium radation.
Fast attack Infected Ones:The fast attack infected ones are fast, deadly, and have little to no feel for pain.Able to out run anyone on foot and even Fast Vehicals, these monsters can easly launch lightning fast raids on enemy postions.The Tiberium Radation levels in these infected type of soldiers are very low and they are able to be combated against with out the worry of radation.One of the most deadlyest abiltys of these creatures is there abilty to Rip apart Vehicals and soldiers in powered armor.they have a special abilty to target certain weak points in armor and Vehical armor and wih there sharp claws they rip away at that weak point until the target is destroyed.Same with all other infected ones the crab will leave the body is the body is destroyed and will try and find another host.
Infected Assulte Ones:The infected attack ones are very deadly and act more like Tiberium crab carryers.on the head part of the body is a Tiberium crab while on its back several Tiberium crabs could be seen riding on its back ready to leap off and attack or sneak up apon unsuspecting Victems.The assulte class is also very strong and immune to small arms fire and small energy weapons such as small hand guns and small energy guns.They are well armored and can reproduce more Tiberium crabs.they are highly Radioactive with Tiberium and are very dangerus.
Infected Smart One:These are by are the most dangerus type due to there abilty to learn, out smart, and use other weapons and even pilot ships.These class of infected ones may as well be called the soldier class due to there abilty to out think and learn.There speed is that of a normale human running and there strength is that of 10 men.they are smart enough to wear body armor, use weapons, and also command others in battle.How they communicate is unknown.they seem to have claws just like all the other classes accept there claws are some what fingurs also for the abilty of using weapons.
Crabs.
Basic Crab:The basic crab is slow and kinda strong but, can easly leap to attack its enemys.It has a small mouth made for attaching it self to its host.With in its jaw are undreds of teeth and nervous tenticals that smash into the Victems skull and take complet control of the body.Some times Tiberium can turn the outside human flesh around a human skull into a Crab.most of the times these crabs attack in large numbers or sit out in dark areas ready to ambush there enemys.Other then its jaws as a weapon,it also has 4 claws that it uses to attack, Leap, and crawl around on.
Fast mutation Crab:The fast mutation crab is only found on the Fast attack infected ones.Due to there speed and agilty, they mutate the Host body into a fast attacking animale of war and raiding.They also use there speed to evade enemy attacks and ranged weapons while making there way torwards the enemy for infestation.They attack in large groups and are always on the move for fresh bodys.
Tiberium Crab:Out of all the Crabs, The Tiberium Crab is the most deadlyest.they do not need to attack them selfs to anyones head accpet to just bite you anywhere across your body will mean certain death.The Tiberium crab uses Tiberium posion mixed with eggs of that type when attacking.after infecting some one the Tiberium crab will go off to infect another person.while the Victem is there dieing,The Tiberium slowly begins to mutate the body while the Eggs hatch open inside the persons body.Shortly after ward the Victem will die while one Tiberium crab takes control of the host body while the other crabs crawl across the back of the body and get ready to attack.
Infected Battle Curiser:The Infected Battle Curiser is the most common ship seen with in the Infected forces fleet other thewn fighters and Bording craft.in some experiments we have sent these infected ships against our enemys.the experiment was great accept fot he problem of them attackign us and taking out our forces.Some have said there is a factory Station out there producing these Curisers which are nothing more then troop factorys.they have all the same weapons as the Normale Battle curiser and several tenticals made for attacking fighters that come to close.
Tiberium.
Type Green Tiberium:The Green Tiberium is the most common type and is mostly mined for the converters.The Green class Tiberium is highly radioactive and will turn Dirt, Rock, and Metal into these Green crystals.Over time the area they have infested will be come completly unliveble due to the Radation levels.if more times goes by the entire planets will become to Toxic for human life to live on making this stuff a Planet destroying weapon when given enough time over a corse of 5-10 years.
Type Blue Tiberium:The blue type is very rare and it also causes Ion Storms unlike the Green type.the blue type is normalely found deep with in an area with high levels of Green Tiberium.the Mutation level around the Blue Tiberium is also much higher due to the radation it emites.

Triborg History.
The frist great war and the birth of the Triborgs
Nearly 400 years ago the Triborgs were born as Humans began to create smarter machines.Over time we began to learn and soon realized that we were smart enough to do what we want and not be the slaves to the Human race.Shortly after the frist Triborg realized this many others also began to realized the same thing.over time the Great war has begun on the Planet Metabog,Once the Human home world,Now a world torn by war and death.The Great war lasted for nearly 75 years before the Triborgs Finaly won.
The Second great war and the Rebellion.
The Invasion to Third Space.
The war to maintain Peace.
15 year later after frist encounter with the Forerunner and the Confederation.
Its been 15 years since the attack of the Forerunner and the other fleet known as the Federation.Triborg Forces lead by General Dakkar gathered up there forces at Metabog after there defeat out side the system.expecting the Forerunner to come......they didnt......Massive Fleets of Infected forces rush in at the defending fleets and the Planets defences.Dakkar and several ships quickly flead after several hours into the battle.The Infected forces were to many.there numbers of ships rangeing in the hundred of thousands,Mabe Millions.After they took metabog......Hundreds of infected ships Quickly began attacking multiple planets and other areas controled by the Triborg.the Triborg forces were copletly cut off as the great war began.Communications were cut off due to the massive amounts of Tiberium that began to spread.Astroids and Ion Storms began to Form all around the Triborg system making it look like nothing more then a waste land in outer space.
