Welcome to Gaia! ::

Knossos Sub-space Portal: A massive sub-space device left behind by a ancient civilization that ruled much of known space millions of years ago. They were discovered by the Empire during their wars against the Shivans and the technology had been reverse engineered to the point where the Empire could faithfully reproduce the device when needed. However the device is large and complicated and easily dwarfs all but the largest Draconian vessels it would take years to produce one and perhaps decades to bring it in tune with the Realspace-Sub space fabric at the target sight. When the task is completed, however, the result is a stabilized node where a unstable one once was or the ability to create one where there wasn't one or where one was destroyed.

G-Diffuser: A small propulsion subsystem attachment that further upgrades a craft's ability to cope with inertia and gravitation. It acts like a suspension system absorbing g-forces and providing for a even smoother flying experience it is designed for use on small craft like fighters and transports. The energy from the absorbed g-forces is then sent to the ship's power reactor where it further increases power output.

Nano-Lathering: Nano-Lather is the primary process of construction in the Empire it involves using billions upon billions of nano bots to lather or consturct a building or other object the nano bots are deployed in two ways they are either prgramed to travel to a specific point after being activated by the detonation of a ship or they are hosed down onto the construction site by a robotic construction droid that deploys the nano bots by spewing it from its twin cannon arms nano lathering is good because its very safe, as long as the construction area remains clear, its cheap, its easy to oversee, and its quick. Nano Lathering is used by both the civilian world and the military force to build new objects and to build them quickly the down side to this technology is that it is easily disrupted by EMP technologies.

Warp Beacons: Warp Beacons are used to teleport massive objects such as buildings into a construction area at a distant location quickly the technology was first used and perfected during the initial trades with the Denali Commonwealth where the Draconis Empire supplied them with prefabricated factories and power stations since then this mode of transfering already completeled buildings has become more and more popular.

Logic Drive: A type of sub light propulsion system that functions by reconfiguring the spatial coordinates around a ship (It warps or bends space around itself) to achieve this it uses very high level mathematical equations, such as bubble theory, to calculate the level of improbability after which it is possible to make the necessary jump the reason that the movement of Draconian ships seem so fluid as if they were moving inch by inch is because this process takes place billions of times every second thus the distance being jumped is not apparent.

Realians: These are artificial humans genetically engineered to fit specific roles they range from simple housemaids and doormen to military soldier drones and Fleet crew members the most common role they fill is observation Realians which basically mans the primary and secondary system consoles on the bridge of a Draco capitol ship and who also directly feeds into the sensor system to provide advanced warning of Demon and Gnosis forces.

Hyperwave Decoder: A sensor system built off of Hyperwave technology this is a sensor array that provides long and short range functions it is used to detect objects in space and to provide communication between ships and other objects it functions by producing a beam of photon particles that turns on and off every second in a pattern it works similar to binary the signal is then sent through a wormhole that is created nanometers from the surface of the sending dish and is weak enough not to suck the ship through the receiving station receives the signal through the wormhole in the same manner and interprets the combination of on and off signals of photons and reads it in the form of 0s and 1s (hey it is binary well will you look at that...) it then plots this info in the original format it was in usually in the form of text or audio messages if it was a video feed it will forward the info to the holo projector on the bridge when the transmission has ended the wormholes created to send and receive the data are terminated.

Hyperwave: A type of photon based light beam that can be read on the sending and receiving end of a line of transmission it exists in the invisible light spectrum and as such is not visible to the naked eye. It is common pratice for sensor arrays based off this technology to use wormholes to transfer the info quickly over vast distanes of space closer range transportation like intra world communications don't need this to be implemented and are quite efficient with Hyperwave alone. Hyperwave technology is used in a wide variety of appliances and ways from microwaves to military sensor arrays even in some TV-esque appliances.

Holographics: A technology that uses light to produce a 3D image suspended in air by way of a light emitting projector the cool thing about this is that the projector can be fitted with sensors that allow it to detect disturbances in the image caused by running your finger through it this in turn allows software makers to produce holographic programs with touchtone functions the military uses this technology alot as well and is normally fitted into a ships Hyperwave Decoder to provide a output for all recorded audio and text as well.

Techno-Magic: This term refers to the marriage of Technology and pure Magic resulting in what they call Para-Magic Techno-Magic usually uses technology like a special Navy gun to deliver magical force the Army is experimenting with special mage troops to suplement their offensive and defensive capabilites.

Subspace Resolver: This device is used to allow a ship to jump into and out of subspace.

Star Drive: A type of sub light propulsion system that enables a ship to move at near light speeds. It works by producing a gravitonic wave and then rides or 'surfs' the wave through a warp in space caused by the engines reconfiguring the spatial and temporal coordinates around a ship. The ships is essentially at this point riding a gravity wave through bent space this happens trillions upon trillions of times a second the end result is a vessel that can travel at speeds approaching but not meeting the speed of light.

Magnetic Ion Armor: Magnetic Ion armor is a new level in defensive armor technology. The armor is made of a triple suite of protective material the first layer is a 3 meters of Dura Steel which adds most of the protective qualities giving it the ability to deflect bullets and projectiles. The second layer is 7.8 meters of Compress Titanium-Valorium alloy which adds protection from mostly energy weapons. The last layers is 5 meters of Poly Kroy which is used as a 'soft' metal allowing flexibility as well as sealing the chinks in the armor it also tends to be highly resistant to heat. All of this together forms a protective barrier resistant to many forms of attack finally the armor is ready for use the armor is coated in nano bots that generate a energy shell of ionized particles hold in place a few inches above the surface of the armor by a magnetic field hence how the armor gets its name it is a step up because of its high protectve qualities and the fact that it doesn't require a bulky personnel shield generator that can be easily blown off. The only difference between infantry grade armor and ship grade is the thickness of the three protective layers otherwise the design and concept is the same.

Psi Disruptor: The Psi Disruptor is a device usually mounted on a ship or military base designed to repulse or turn away creature with a psychic sensitivity by producing a field of psychic energy that disrupts their thoughts literally driving them crazy it is a new device currently being developed by the empire for use on its newer ships.

Psi Emitter: Similar to the Psi Disruptor except the field of psychic energy it produces attracts creatures with a psychic sensitivity by creating a psychic aura that soothes and entices the creatures drawing them like a moth to the flame to location of the emitter. This device is being developed as part of a master plan by the Empire.

Compressed Titanium-Velorium Alloy: The primary armor of the Empire it is heat and pressure resistant and is somewhat strong estimated to be only 1,440 times stronger then steel. Draconian military doctrine and shipbuilding ideaologies stress a greater importance and focus on a ship's shield then armor meaning that Draconian vessels have stronger shields then they do hull. This poses little of a prbolem so long as the Draconian vessel can prevent the breaking of its shields or end the battle before the former happens.

Polykroy: A unusually flexible metal found in the outer rim of the Draco galaxy. It is dense but is easily bent by itself it consitutes poor armor. When combined with other metals it forms a vital alloy component as its flexibility can make the armor a ease to move around it. It is sometimes added to Compressed Titanium-Velorium ally to further enhance its flexibility and its capability to give and take with pressure that is directly applied to it.

Phranxite: A strange looking metal that is sometimes used in Draconian electronics as well as in armor where it can awdd to the heat dispersion qualities it is rare and thus expensive so its use is limited.

Deflector Shields: Deflector Shields are designed to deflect or absorb incoming enemy fire. It is able to resist all forms of firepower, kinetic, energy, nuclear, projectile, etc. Deflector Shields are formed of many layers of energy shields some ships like the new Sathanas and Rakshasa have at least several thousand layers of shields however Deflector Sheilds main advantage is that the defensive system is formed of multiple generators if one goes down another kicks in to run the shields if the second goes down a third comes up forming a power system that overlaps itself the only downside to Deflector Shields is the man hours required to make the specialized reactors which in turn adds to the man hours needed to construct or retro fit a ship that is to be equipped with this device.
Ship shield (damage) capacity: Depends on ship class usually around 50 Teratons

Traditional Draconian Shipbuilding: Traditionally Draconian shipbuilding is both precise and fairly simple, relativly speaking. First nanites are sprayed into the target area where they produce IR waves to produce a invisible "ship skeleton" in a process called Ghosting. Next the ships actual skeleton is laid in place by Nano Latering, or spraying, the material and allowing the nanites to build it's molecular structure each nanite carries one molecule of the alloy used in the ships hull and the metal is recombined molecule by molecule. Then after the ship's frame is placed the bulkheads, inner hull and finally outer hull is put in place by a similar method finally robotic drones can be used to lay the plumbing, wiring, and power conduits necessary for the ship to run smoothly. This ensures that the ship can be built out of one continuous slab of material rather then having to break and reform smaller segments after the ships is fully produced and its been formally commissioned and named it is released from the shipyard's drydock via massive anti gravity pumps that literally push the ship into space the people inside the drydock chamber are protected from space's vacuum via a invisible force field specially designed to preserve the chamber's atmosphere.

Bio-Mechanical Draconian Shipbuilding: Bio-Mechanical ships are a new concept in Draconian society. Initially the ships hull would be made of organic materials mostly from the carapace of the Itnsuma Crab from the Lafiel system and then catalyzed with metallica agents such as Magnetic Ion Armor. Over 90% of the hull would be organic material with the other 10% being metallic catalysts and reinforcing agents. As grim looking as this might sound it's not, as the organic material as it's catalyzed takes on a metallic feel and look. The ship would be composed of a organic central AI that is interfaced with the ship's systems which are composed of a marriage of organic and metallic components the ship and it's crew would fulfill a symbiotic relationship and would work and live together in harmony. The ship's hull would be registered with a unique "DNA" or "RNA" signature that could be used to identify it and to ensure backwards compatibility would also maintain a traditional IFF signature so that traditional ships could identify them. The proposed Bio-Mechanical alloy is very strong over 10,000 times stronger then steel, 6,000 times stronger then carbon fiber composites and over 1,400 times stronger then Draconian Compressed Titanium Velorium alloy and 400 times stronger then Magnetic Ion Armor.

Tachwave: The Tachwave is a upgraded form of Hyperwave technology. Draconian communications technology has finally advanced to a point where Draconian sub-space technology can be used on a micro scale safely and reliably. Similar to Hyperwave technology Tachwave technology creates a signal by shooting one particle at a time instead of photon particles however, it uses Tachyon particles in order to transmit the information like it's Hyperwave equivalent it transmits the information one particle at a time and sends it through a micro sub-space fissure rather then a micro wormhole. On the other end it is received and the data is interpreted by reading how each particle hits the receiver sensor and by reading the delay between each particle.

Tachwave Resonance Array: A communications system built off of new Tachwave technology. Like its Hyperwave equivalent The Tachwave Resonance Array is used for communications it projects a continuous stream of Tachyon waves for short range transmissions or a non continuous pulse, similar to a ocean wave, for long range and burst transmissions. Like the Hyperwave Resonance Array it has a infinite range due to the nature of the technology and it's use of sub-space technology. It also has the capability to use Hyperwaves to communicate as well to ensure compatibility on existing Hyperwave Networks.

Tachwave Decoder: Similar to the Hyperwave Decoder it sends out a omni directional pulse in order to detect distant objects in active mode and in passive mode compares the Tachyon background interferance with local interferance of local space in order to detect objects. It has a whole list of additional secondary sensor modes each with their own special mode of operation.

Organic AI: Organic AIs are a new concept in Draconian technology. The "Organic AI" consists of a genetically engineered Realian female specially designed for AI duty. Her brain mass density increadibly increased on purpose in order to facilitate a much higher degree of intelligence The entity would come included with wetwire implant support so that she can be readily integrated with a ship's main systems and because of the nature of the technology it would be compatible with both Traditional and Bio-Mechanical ships. The female entity would be encased in a environmentally controlled vat that would be filled with presevative, anti aging, and telepathy enhancing chemical agent. The Organic AI is the next logical successor to older digital AIs.

Lateral Thrusters: Lateral thrusters would provide additional maneuvering capabilities for Draconian fighters and transports and is intended for the new Mara class third generation Joint Strike Fighters under development. When activated the thrusters would produce a strong anti gravity current that, because the ship is made of matter of positive mass, would be repelled away from. The result is that the ship can move sideways, up and down, as well as back and forth. It would be installed in a set of two. Both generators would be integrated into the AVTOL engines and controlled as part of the new flight control system.

Direct Brain Interface: Direct Brain Interface is a collective term for the total technology that'll be used by the next generation fighter pilot. The pilot would be integrated with all his flight system. First the pilot is puts on their flight uniform however their helmet has no visor to it instead the pilot is completly blinded by the lack of a visor instead the pilot's helmet is linked directly to the navigational, senor, and communications systems the inside of the helmet is filled with holographic projectors displaying the feedback information which is flowing in from aforementioned flight systems. The information is directed to the pilot's helmet by various Tachwave information upload nodes located throughout the cockpit and is directed to the brain via a wetwire uplink from the helmet directly into the pilot's brain mass what follows is a more accurate, expedient, and efficient flow of information from originating source to flight systems and to the pilot themselves.

Quantum Computer: Traditional Draconian computers use standard computing principles and technologies with the exception of the CPU which is a laser CPU in recent time Draconian computing technology has evolved to a point where Quantum Mechanical principles could be applied to computing resulting in a exponential increase in Draconian computer capacity and more importantly speed. The new Draconian coumputer use a DNA CPU that uses lasers to read and write info similar to a DVD ROM. This technology will be included only on the newer Draconian ships.

Sub-Space Indifference Reactor: The Sub-Space Indifference Reactor uses exclusive Draconian sub-space technology to channel microscopic amounts of Sub-Space ether into a shielded reactor core where it instantly annihilates itself in order to prevent a dimensional cascade effect. The system would allow a Draconian ship, for example, to produce a infinitie amount of energy it would also free the Empire from it's dependence of Nebula gases.

Gravity Pulse Drive: The Gravity Pulse Drive is the ultimate in Draconian gravity based drives and is the last possible Drive system available before new technologies have to be produced. The Gravity Pulse Drive produces a micro singularity that is contained within the primary Gravity Induction chamber within a shielded partition the singularity is then allowed to undergo Hawking Radiation the energy from the resulting shower of hard X-Rays and Photons of astronomically long wavelengths is then used to power the primary drive shaft which then transfer the power to the rear of the ship enabling movement. This technology will allow Draconian vessels to reach the speed of light regardless of size since the energy particles from the singularity's death would have roughly infinite energy. Better yet the Drive system does not require a exhuast port and thus theres no need to cut a hole in the rear of the ship where the exhaust port would go.

Bio-Plastic Armor: Bio-Plastic is the name given to the armor of the new bio-mech ships under development and far exceeds the previous Draconian Naval war metals. It is a collection of organic materials many animals with hard carapaces that is then catalyzed with polykroy and other Draconian metals. The end result is a organic substance with metal woven into the very fabric of the material. It is a marriage of organic and non-organic materials after all why build your ships and repair them when you can grow them and let them heal themselves? Bio-Plastic has one downside it is very hard to catalyze the organic compounds since the tissue somehow has to be still alive at the start of the process and the procedure uses quantum mechanical principles.

Note: I decided to keep a few of the inactive or dead guilds either because I have reason to believe they will reactivate or as a honorary kind of thing.

Unified Secular and Religious History of the Empire

---------------------------Chromatic-Azure Light Age (Countless Trillions of years BCE): This is a religious time period that refers to the very beginning of the universe and creation it is often mentioned in the Holy Books of Yevon as being a place of great disorder and danger.

Creation of the Universe (Countless Trillions of years BCE): A unknown trillions of years before the current era the Universe was brought into creation. The Ancient God, before The Great Schism, created the unverse he fashioned the planets from his sweat, the stars from the drops of his blood voluntarily spilt on purpose and all other celestrial entities from the pieces of his great sword that he used to carve and shape each creation.

The Great Schism (Unknown Billions of years BCE): Sometime after the Universe's creation The Ancient God split into two lesser elements of itself. Representing the good will of the Ancient One is Yu Yevon, bringer of light and supreme authority of the universe. On the other side is The Profound Darkness which represents the Ancient God's burning hatred, desire, and vanity that was kept pent up. The Profound Darkness is responsible for all dangerous and dark things both in the Universe and within Mortals.

The First Arenagueth (15 Billion BCE): The First Arenagueth (War of the Gods) began when Yu Yevon encountered The Profound Darkness while overviewing the Universe that the Ancient One (Ancient God, The Ancient God) had created. They waged a war that lasted a billion years, finally Yu Yevon defeated The Profound Darkness and imprisoned the foul one in a extra dimensional prison for all time.

The Great Binding (14 Billion BCE): After Yu Yevon won The First Arenagueth he imprisoned The Profound Darkness in another universe and to prevent the foul one from making it's way back to our universe sealed the prison off with the most holy magical wards and created the first life in the universe hoping that it would evolve to a point where it could be trusted with maintaining the holy wards already in place.

First Life in the Gaiaverse (14 Billion BCE): After binding The Profound Darkness. Yu Yevon created the first organic creatures to walk what is now the Gaiaverse. Yu Yevon nurtured each of these infant organisms and placed each on a given world the organisms developed slowly but continued to evolve from single cell bacteria and viruses to dinosaurs, reptiles, bipedal apes, upright walking Humans and so forth.

Life Developes on Earth (4.5 Billion BCE): The First life Developes on Earth eventually progressing from single cell microorganisms to Humans. Earth eventually becomes the "Cradle of Humanity" as Humans rise up in the Prehistoric world, builds their first civilizations, and advances through the ages eventually reaching out to become a Galactic Power.

Darkness Disunified (1 Billion BCE): The Profound Darkness distinegrates into various unholy Devils each representing the many dark facets of it's being. At this point Darkness's prison is fully corrupted becoming the Netherverse or Hell of today with its pieces forming the first Devils such as Bethrezen, Laharah, and Beelzebub.

Dinosaur Extinction (65,000,000 BCE): Dinosaurs are wiped out on Earth when a huge asteroid impacted off the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. Killing off most non avian Dinosaurs and paving the way for Human dominance on Earth.

The Second Arenagueth (1,000,000 BCE): The Second Arenagueth was fought when the Holy Orders of Yu Yevon waged war on the Cohorts of the Netherverse Devils. The war was fought to decide whether the High Heavens or the Burning Hells would control the Universe and the races that formed in it since then. The war ended when Yu Yevon defeated the Devils and shattered their armies on the shores of Hell.

Rise of Homo Sapiens (100,000 BCE): The first modern Humans appear on Earth they adapt to their harsh condition and eventually flourish they go on to become the dominant species on Earth since the Dinosaurs.

Rise of the Ancients (Unknown Thousands of years BCE): The Ancients, a unknown race with super advanced Sub-Space Technology, first establish themselves on their homeworld. They advance quickly and soon reach out across the stars assimilating many thousands of species into their Space Empire creating a empire that covers most of the Milky Way galaxy.

Fall of the Ancients (8,000 BCE): The Ancients first encounter the Shivans who they term "The Great Destroyers". Unable to comprehend defeat and accept the need to change their ways the Ancients cannot adapt to fight the Shivans and are subsequently destroyed because of this.

First Earth Nations (5,000 BCE): The first nations rise on Earth. At first they are merely semi-primitive Neo-Lithic societies that rose above the basic subsistence level needed for survival. Eventually they turn into powerful ancient kingdoms and empire, then into mighty medieval nations and finally into modern and space age nations that reach out towards the stars.

First landing on the Moon (1,969 AD): Apollo 11 lands on the Moon and securing it's crew's place as being responsible for the first landing of a man on the moon.

First Lunar Colony Founded (2,044 AD): The first lunar colony was founded by the UEDL (United Earth Defence League). It was funded by over 40 nations and was the first step into colonizing space.

Sub-Space Discovered, Technology Developed (2,142 AD): For the first time since the Ancients Sub-Space was utilized and allowed for colonization of space outisde of the Sol system.

Third World War (2,270 AD): Humanity continued to establish colonies across the Milky Way. Hundreds of systems in the vicinity of Sol were colonized. In 2270 there was a conflict in who should control these colonies. The UEDL claimed since it established the first colony it should govern the far flung planets. The various Corporation Nations claimed since it was there money and material going into the colonies they should rule. A Third World War was waged devastating the Earth wiping out the UEDL and killing off 92% of the world's population. What was left of the once great Corpo Nations collapsed and later combined into the Gaian Galactic Federation.

Founding of First Gaia (43,679 BG [2,317 AD]): The newly formed Gaian Galactic Federation settles on the world of First Gaia in the Gaia system and then moves it's galacitc capitol to First Gaia.

Collapse of the Gaian Galactic Federation (23,079 BG): The Gaian Galactic Federation continued to weaken till Separtists attempted to break away from the Federation then some 500,000 systems strong. However the Senator Joseph Magus ended the Separatist movements and reorganized the GGF into the first Galactic Empire in Gaian-Draconian history. He ruled with a iron fist but effectively ran the government. Binding his new Empire together while continuing to dismantle the old regime. The new regime eventuall became known as The Star Empire of Gaia.

Destruction of First Gaia (0 AG): In 0 AG First Gaia was destroyed when the Star Imperial Navy failed to defend the planet against unidentified alien attackers the planet was destroyed however 13 colony ships escaped First Gaia. They were the colony ships Alundiel, Constanziel, Patriel, Myzrael, Hadradiel, Forael, Izuel, Mariziel, Lontiel, Ashoriel, Naphiziel, Gadriel, and Marienkind. It was at this time that the Gaians set course for various distant locations in the universe hoping to find at least one place to settle each colony ship carried a large Sub-Space Transceiver used to share communications over Inter Galacitc distances. However the various colony ships lost contact with each other prematurly when they emerged too close to a previously unknown black hole and had to make another emergency jump to avoid their destruction.

The Dark Age (0 AG-550 AG): During this time the fleeing Gaians fought many battles and wars throughout the Milky Way and Draco Galaxy they discoverd the Draco Galaxy not long after losing Gaia but found it to be populated with at least a half dozen races the Humans of Gaia would go on to founding the Colonial Alliance.

---------------------------Silvery-White Light Age (550 AG): This is a religious age, mentioned in the Holy Books of Yevon. It marks the beginning of the modern Draconian era and the dispelling of the "darkness" of what the Draconian's refer to as the "Old Universe".

The Alliance's Foundation (550 AG): The Colonial Alliance was founded in 550 AG it consisted of a few dozen star systems with scattered populations of Gaians who were completely cut off from each other due to lack of communication and off world traveling they spread from the edge of the Galaxy to the center where Second Gaia is and radiated out from there over the course of thousands of years using newly built warships and colonization vessels.

The War Age (551 AG-19,012 AG): The wars from the dark age continued the Divjan and Redorans were the last races to be defeated and subjugated Humanity was still isolated to the edge of the galaxy they had initially arrived in and the defeated races retreated further in. The Human war machine gained momentum at the end of this age.

The Expansion Age (19,013 AG-24,345 AG): This age saw Humanity reach the outer rim on the other side of the Galaxy and a great advancment in mapping technologies as well as a great increase in the number of exploration teams willing to brave hostile alien races and the unknown elements to receive and send back this data. Some of the maps from this era are used even today.

The Republic Age (24,346 AG- 41,991 AG): The entire galaxy was assimilated by the end of this age and the seven races of the galaxy was ruled by a Human government in the form of a Republic but tensions were high and war was on the horizon. It was during this time that a standard Army, Navy, and Intelligence branch was formed to combat the growing threat of sucession.

The Sucession Wars (41,992 AG-42,092): This was a war to decide which government was the strongest each race wanted control of the government because this would allow them to suceed and thus claim independence however Humanity won and the Empire stayed under their rule.

The Consciousness Wars (42,092-44,556 AG): This was a war to decide the fate of mortal consciousness whether to keep it in frail flesh or to transfer it to more durable machine's the Coalition government waged war with the Hlaalue rebels in the end the two sides sturck a compromise.

---------------------------Yellow-Golden Light Age (44,557 AG): This is a religious age that marks the beginning of recent universal history which coincidently is also the beginning of Draconia's more... Interesting years.

The Draconian Light Age (44,557 AG-50,198 AG): This was age of renewel great happiness and stability the last of the alien races gave up hopes of independence and pledge their further support while the Humans solidyfied their power.

The First Great War (50,199 AG-50,227 AG): This war was fought against the mysterious Shivans little is known about them except they cutted us off from forgotten Earth for a while when the SD Lucifer exploded in sub-space the war was won soon after.

The First Demon War (50,432 AG-55,983 AG): This was a war fought against the Rift Demons of the Twilight Sector it started when Humans stumbled upon the literal gate to Oblivion in the center of the forsaken Nebula and after words all Hell literally broke loose it ended when the Draconian Navy sealed the gate and was thought o destroyed it but recent events prove they failed.

The Emperor Age (55,983 AG-61,020 AG): This was an age when strong leaders destroyed the collapsing Coalition and created the first Empire of the united races of the Draco Galaxy this age is marked by great advancement in science and technology as well in theology, philosophy, military technology, and Techno-Magic.

The Age of Magic (60,995 AG-61,020 AG): Magic is quickly overcoming Techno-Magic in the Empire the variety of applications for pure Magic are becoming more and more clear as the Emperor seeks to ressurect this forbidden science and art.

The Second Demon War (61,020 AG- ): Sauzer's deal with Hell created a powerful alliance as Hell's Cohort Armies gained access to the Empire due to Sauzer's work they cut a bloody path through Draconian space. Draconian Armies and Navies will have to stand fast or risk being devoured by Hell's unquenchable appetite for terror, war, and destruction.

---------------------------Red Twilight Age (Unknow time into the future): This religious age marks the downfall of Mortality and the coming of The Profound Darkness. It culminates in a universal equivalent of Armageddon.

---------------------------Black Obsidian Age (Unknown time into the future-Infinite time into the future): This is the final age spoken of in the Holy Books of Yevon. It describes a universe reborn in the grip of the damned. As well as the elimination of the remaining elements of Mortality at this point the universe is truly dead.

Missiles/Torpedos: Missiles function a little bit different then in most Star Nations' navies. First and foremost they do not use outdated combustion engines but rather either Logic or Star Drives they also do not need considerable improvements to be used from either atmospheric or spaceborne platforms because the navigation and propulsion systems are based on modular software backed by cutting edge firmware. Missiles may contain either a plasma, nuclear, viral, antimatter, or proton warhead that can be easily swapped out and replaced with another warhead on the fly for quick payload changes even in the middle of combat the Missiles of the Empire are based off a highly modular design and can even change parts from one missiles class to another due to hardware that is very open ended if the onboard software or firmware needs to be updated for the mission or a particular change the hangar based techs can do it via wireless firmware and software update protocols in short missiles are more robust then in other space navies the only downside is the average cost to produce. A Hydra, for example, just to produce one completed missile costs about 15 Dracos which is alot of money for one missile considering orders are often in the billions. But the money is well spent.

Beam Cannons: The first beam weapons used by the Empire were reverse engineered from the Shivan Superdestroyer the SD Lucifer. Since then beam weapons have become feared additions to the Draconian arsenal. The current second generation beam weapons are based entirly off of Draconian weapon technology. The current beam weapons fires a concentrated beam of very dense particle streams towards the target they have the ability to burn holes through target shields and hulls in a matter of seconds however they have extreme power needs modified reactors must be in place to handle these new weapons which is the reason why only the next generation of Draconian ships will have them. Beam weapons when used in conjunction with anti cap missiles can wreck terrible losses on enemy fleets.

MK IV Flakk Guns: The MK IV Flakk guns are the fourth generation flakk guns designed to shoot down whole screens of fighters and to intercept enemy missiles. The MK IVs fire a devastating stream of UVHSM (Ultra Very High Sub Munitions) at relativistic speeds each explosive charge explodes with force equivalent to a 2200 lbs bomb producing a soup like screen of sharpnel that cuts to pieces anything unfortunate enough to fly through the cloud of flakk. The MK IV has a rate of fire of 9,000 rounds a minute making it a ammo hog the gun uses so much ammo that mini ammo dumps are constructed under flakk posts in the gun caverns so that the ammo can be chain fed directly from its personal ammo dump. Draconian vessels are well protecte from enemy missiles thanks to these powerful guns

Railguns: Railguns are new additions to the Draconian arsenal. Railguns fire a large anti cap slug at very high relativistic speeds using the very high mass and velocity to create immnse damage. Depending on the caliber and velocity they can effectivly be used for anti cap work or for the purpose of a planet killer via the the RKV (relativistic kill vehicle) principle.

Plasma Cannons: Plasma weaponry is totally new never having been used in Naval warfare by the Empire. It is, in effect, a particle accelerator. The weapon generates a stream of plasma by ionizing a cloud of gas particles it then uses a magnetic bottle to contain the plasma the plasma is then fired at the target and hits in due time. It is important for a plasma round to reach its target very quickly otherwise blooming will occur and the plasma will spread out and dissipate over a large area thus becoming useless as a weapon.

IG-120 Tachyon "Lightbringer" Auto pistol: The IG-120 Lightbringer is the new automatic handgun of the Draconian armed forces intended and adopted for use as a good all around generic handgun for all regular, special forces, and Naval crews and Marines.

Powered "Wrath" Magnetic Fist: The Powered magnetic fist produces a strong current of magnetic energy that drives a servo motor in the glove literally ending up with 100% of the system's energy being transferred into the punch. It produces a great deal of kinetic energy that can be then used to pound almost any object into atomized dust with one punch. The Magnetic fist is designed to be melee weapon for both the Army and Marines it lacks the finess or speed of a Templar's Photon Blade but what it lacks in handling and speed it more then makes up for in power it is arguerably the most powerful melee weapon of Draconia.

Type: Powered servo fist
Purpose: Close combat melee weapon for the Army and Marines
Weight: 8 pounds
Range: Melee

Vibro Sword: Though Draconian Knights lack the training and psychic powers needed to wield Photon Blades they, nevertheless, use swords in combat. Vibro swords are powerful weapons. Due to the nature and design of the blade they can be used for both thrusting and cutting/slicing attacks. The sword's blade spins at about 120,000 RPMs and looks like a traditional Draconian Caltsu (which is a mixture of a scimitar and longsword). The very design of the blade allows it to be in a variety of ways the Vibro Sword does have one weakness. In that it must be turned off in order to safely holster it that mains that if the Knights is attacked suddenly enough you may be able to take him down before he can react to your attack. And altought it only takes a split second for the sword to prepare for battle sometimes thats too long. The blade is surprisingly cheap and is much easier to work then creating a Photon Blade which is pure energy and has to be shaped by psychic force.

Type: Powered vibro sword
Purpose: Close combat melee weapon for Draconian Knights
Weight: 4 pounds
Range: Melee

Vibro Lance: The vibro lance is a eight foot long melee weapon designed for thrusting attacks. It looks like a regular, albeit, ornatly decorated lance however where the head of the lance would be is a bladed point that when turned on spins at about 150,000 RPMs. It can tear through most armor with ease but is unsuited for certain enemies due to the fact that although powerful it does not perform well on materials that are jelly or gooey in texture as they can cover the blade making it hard for it to spin.

Type: Vibrating melee lance
Purpose: Close combat weapon for cavalry and infantry in open areas
Weight: 15 pounds
Range: Melee

Shock Lance: The shock lance is a modified version of the vibro lance. Instead of using a vibrating lance point it uses a head that electrocutes the target. The lance's head when thrusted into a target generates a high current eighty thousand volt charge that shocks the target to death. To prevent the electric charge from traveling all the way up the lance in a backflow and killing the infantryman the forward half of the lance including both hand grips is insulated in a special synthesized grounding material that has qualities similar to rubber. The shock lance is an all around effective weapon with no special disadvantages other then it being a melee weapon instead of a ranged weapon or both.

Protection Capacity: 150 pounds

IA-8 Powered Combat Armor: The IA-8 Powered Combat Armor provides superior protection to all kinds of weapons. It also includes full protection from nuclear, biological, and chemcial agents. It is a full body combat suit that uses powered servo actuators to further augment the capabilities of the augmented soldiers wearing it. It has a airtight helmet and joint protection that prevents outside air from leaking through it also has a gas mask built into the helmet to scrub and filter the air that comes through it. The IA-8 also has a nannite feedback system that reads damage to various areas of the body and injects nanites to the specified body areas in order to heal them the suit itself applies varying amounts of pressure to the whole body to keep it running at peak condition it has a adrenaline feed system that injects adrenaline mixed with chemical cocktails to further enhace the capabilities of the units. It is very expensive to produce and is used primarily by elite shock troops and special forces or mainly by the Suwayyah Marine Corp. The suit itself is composed of a outer layer of reinforced compressed Titanium Velorium alloy with Phanxite as the reinforcing agent and a under layer of polykroy to give the wearer un-hindered movement.
Protection Capacity: 650 pounds

IA-12 Powered Stealth Suit: The IA-12 stealth suit is a powered armor that renders the user invisble it uses a more sophisticated version of the personnel cloaking unit that is permanently embedded into the suit itself. Nanomachines woven into the metallic fiber of the suit itself create a communications as well as a damage feedback system. Allowing the unit to communicate with allied forces as well as coordinate the healing of body damage. The communications system uses the powerful version 2.0 Hyperwave technology meaning that the unit can communicate without fear of the signal being tapped due to improved transmission protocols. The suit besides having cloaking capabilities also provides a internal self destruct mechanism in case of capture as well as full servo actuator technology. The suit like all other newly developed Draconian armor, with the exception of the IA-1B armor for conscripted troops and Army regulars, comes equipped with full support for augmentation technology and modified limbs. Due to the intent of the armor and the need to balance silence and light weight with protection the armor has a lower protection rating then the A8 but higher protection then the IA-1B armor.
Protection Capacity: 400 pounds

Draconian Knight's Mail: There exists two primary fighting orders of knights in the Empire the Templar Knights of Draconia and the Draconian Knights. This Armor suit functions as the field unifrom for all Draconian Knights it consists of full plate compressed Titanium-Velorium alloy with a layer of Polykroy and Kemphrite chain mail underneath. It lacks the degree of protection that the Templar's equivalent has but it looks every bit as stylish it too supports a full suite of sensor modes in the helmet that forms a airtight seal with the rest of the armor, has nanomachines to scrub incoming air, and a lift able visor for better seeing. On the armor's breastplate is the seal of the Empire itself and, as a result, the seal of the Royal Family.
Protection Capacity: 550 pounds



Personnel Shield: The personnel shield is what it sounds like, it is a shield generator that is small enough to be attach to infantry armor when activated it passivly guards against enemy fire, explosions, etc. It generates a energy bubble around the generator and thus the person it has, like all shileding devices, a finite damage capacity which when reached or exceeded will result in the shield going off line till it can recharge.
Protection Capacity: 700 pounds

Personnel Cloak: This device bends light around the given target allowing the infantryman to become invisible the cloak generator has a self perpetuating energy system so it can stay active indefinitly however if the unit goes to fire its weapon it will cause a interference which will disable the generator till the unit stops firing so this is good for getting in close and then disabling it so you can fire on the enemy.

The M30 has a much better protection rating that makes sure they can keep the Royal Family well protected. It may be a little on the high side but Majordomos are few in number, relativly speaking, and are very rarely seen on the field unless accompanying a prince or the Emperor himself.
Protection Capacity: 800 pounds

A12 Powered Stealth Suit: The A12 stealth suit is a powered armor that renders the user invisble it uses a more sophisticated version of the personnel cloaking unit that is permanently embedded into the suit itself. Nanomachines woven into the metallic fiber of the suit itself create a communications as well as a damage feedback system. Allowing the unit to communicate with allied forces as well as coordinate the healing of body damage. The communications system uses the powerful version 2.0 Hyperwave technology meaning that the unit can communicate without fear of the signal being tapped due to improved transmission protocols. The suit besides having cloaking capabilities also provides a internal self destruct mechanism in case of capture as well as full servo actuator technology. The suit like all other newly developed Draconian armor, with the exception of the A1B armor for conscripted troops and Army regulars, comes equipped with full support for augmentation technology and modified limbs. Due to the intent of the armor and the need to balance silence and light weight with protection the armor has a lower protection rating then the A8 but higher protection then the A1B armor.
Protection Capacity: 400 pounds



Personnel Shield: The personnel shield is what it sounds like, it is a shield generator that is small enough to be attach to infantry armor when activated it passivly guards against enemy fire, explosions, etc. It generates a energy bubble around the generator and thus the person it has, like all shileding devices, a finite damage capacity which when reached or exceeded will result in the shield going off line till it can recharge.
Protection Capacity: 700 pounds

Personnel Cloak: This device bends light around the given target allowing the infantryman to become invisible the cloak generator has a self perpetuating energy system so it can stay active indefinitly however if the unit goes to fire its weapon it will cause a interference which will disable the generator till the unit stops firing so this is good for getting in close and then disabling it so you can fire on the enemy.
