Welcome to Gaia! ::

Weapon Types
Machine Gun: Machine Guns sometimes have 1 barrel, like those carried by ground troops, and sometimes they have multiple barrels, like those on vehicles, but they basically all end up doing the same thing: hurling metal bullet at high velocities towards a target.
Drone: A Drone is essentially a missile with an AI computer brain. The computer can pick out which target is the most important and then follow it till it either hits the target or runs out of fuel. It can easily dodge obstacles in the way and cannot be easily shaken off as the missile itself is a thinking thing. It has a very limited brain though, it's singular purpose is to sacrifice itself to destroy targets.
Cutting Beam: A Cutting Beam is an Energy Weapon that fires a laser beam in a continuous stream of energy allowing it to precisely cut through enemy ships. It has a very efficient cooling and recharging system that allow it to fire for long amounts of time and then fire again quite soon.
Nuclear Warhead: Nuclear Warheads are the same size as Concussion Missiles, but they have no DRADIS and instead that extra space is used for the larger explosive device and for a larger engine to traverse longer distances.

Other Techonology
HRD: Human Replica Droids look and can behave just like Humans in every way. The only thing that separated them was that HRDs could not procreate, but now they can. HRDs are also smarter, faster, stronger, and immortal (so long as they are not killed). They are also slightly more durable than Humans.
AI: AI, or Artificial Intelligence is basically a computer that can imagine new scenarios and act accordingly. All Vehicles and starships in the Android Hegemony have some degree of AI.

Adroid Hegemony Starhships have powerful Shields with fast recharge times on all ships except the fighters, but if their Shields fail they have minimal armor on their starships. Their Hyperdrives also recharge quickly. All Android ships can enter and fly in an atmosphere.

Name: Raider
Appearance:
Weapons: 2 Machine Guns, 6 Drones
Description: Raiders are the basic fighters of the Hegemony fleet. They are quick and maneuverable and cheap to produce. Raiders usually have a built in brain controlling them, but some are designed to allow a pilot to pilot them as well, the pilot will have to lie down to fly the craft and the AI brain must be removed to make room for the pilot.

Name: Heavy Raider
Appearance:
Weapons: 2 Machine Guns, 16 Drones
Description: Heavy Raiders are the bombers of the Hegemony fleet. For a bomber they are quite fast and they carry a lot of Drones to destroy enemy targets. Heavy Raiders can also be piloted, and can carry some passengers, making them useful as shuttles.

Name: Phantom Class Destroyer
Appearance:
Weapons: Drones, 8 Cutting Beams
Description: Phantoms serve the dual role of Destroyers and troop transports. When the battle in orbit of a planet is over the Phantoms will descend into the atmosphere. When they find a place to land they clear it with their cutting beams, and then once landed their cargo bay doors open to unleash legions of Centurions and Spider Walkers. Finally the Phantom will take off again and provide air support by devastating enemy forces with their cutting beams and then allow the grounds forces to clean up. Phantoms are controlled by an advanced AI brain that is given orders by HRD Commanders.

Name: Specter Class Carrier
Appearance:
Weapons: 36 Cutting Beams, Nuclear Warheads, Drones
Description: Specter Class Carriers are odd vessels as they have no clear front or back (or side for that matter). They look fragile, but don't be fooled, their energy shields are very strong and have an incredible recharge rate. They do not carry many weapons, but instead use their fighters to do the work for them. Each of a Specter's "wings" carries fighters on the outside that can be deployed with ease. Specters carry 1800 fighters; most fleets don't even have that many. Specters are controlled by an advanced AI brain that is given orders by HRD Commanders.
