General history

Millenia ago, the known Milky Way galaxy was a battlefield. Thousands of factions combated thousands of other factions in a never ending galactic conflict. One of these conflicts was worse than most others, seen it's complexity and the used technologies. This conflict is now known as the Vilushan-Ruustirii war, and proved to be pivotal in the ending of the galactic conflicts.


After decades of war, leaders on both sides found themselves in an impasse: The Vilushans had almost begun a devastating assault on the Ruustirii homeworld, while the Ruustirii themselves were starting up an extreme range antimatter cannon with a similar purpose. In the face of mutual extinction, negotiations were started. After years of debate, compromises and endless restructuralization, the Alliance of Peace was formed. Slowly, the Vilushans and Ruustirii began convincing other warring factions of their mistakes, and soon the Alliance began to grow. More and more races joined, resulting in the largest interstellar governement ever formed.

Over thousands of years, the Alliance changed. It's purpose no longer to stop wars, but to prevent them. No longer was it a loose Alliance, shaped only by common thought, instead it became a strong governement, consisting of seven galaxies, all ruled by the Alliance Senate. The Intergalactic Alliance of the People was formed.

Organization

The Alliance is a democracy, where the following voting organization stands:

The population of every system chooses a senator to represent them in the Alliance senate, located on Embrace*. This senate is led by the Alliance president, the highest ranking official in seven galaxies.

If a new system joins the Alliance, the "law mixture protocol" is established, where the system's law is thoroughly studied, and all useful articles are embedded into Alliance law. In turn, the system accepts the Allaince law as it's own.

The following star charts show the Alliance's most important systems, and important hyperspace paths.

The Intergalactic Alliance Navy

During the ages, Alliance technology advanced rapidly. The IAV is the most advanced fleet in seven galaxies, rivaled only by that of the Confederacy.

Corvettes

Porretti corvette



The Porretti light corvette is the Alliance's main patrol ship. Used to guard borders, scan unknown territories and investigate peculiar situations, this corvette is fast, but packs a vicious punch with it's dual rapid-fire string-disruptor cannons.

Frigates

Chopin light frigate



The Chopin is the most common ship in the Alliance navy. Relatively fast, but lightly armed, it is mainly used as a patrol ship or escort vessel.

Keller assault gunboat



A small, unimpressive ship, the Keller uses a new instant jump hyperdrive to perform hit and run attacks with it's two plasma banks.

destroyers

Verdi assault destroyer



The Verdi is the mainstay of the IAN. It's powerful enhanced quad disruptor cannons can challenge larger battleships on equal grounds, while
a drone fighter complement can distract enemy PD or damage faster ships.


Cruisers

Mozart heavy cruiser



The Mozart is the Alliance's main heavy enforcement cruiser. Used only in heavier engagements, this vessel carries heavy disruptor cannons that can eat chunks out of even the largest battleships.

Shubert Battlecruiser



A medium ship, the Shubert is a very common cruising vessel, equipped with powerful weapons and shields.

Carriers

Vivaldi combat carrier



Used as the IAN's most common drone carrier, the Vivaldi's main purpose is to distract enemy PD and deliver PD support with it's own particle batteries.

Bach Supercarrier



The largest Alliance production vessel in existence, the Bach carries hundreds of attack drones, and heavy offensive weaponry. It's main purpose is to serve as a mission command ship, and to deliver long range fire support.

Dreadnoughts

Nikolai Dreadnought



The Nikolai is the Alliance's single most heavy battleship yet mass-prduced. It's twin Super-heavy antimatter cannons can easily fend off hevy ships, while multiple batteries of heavy and light disruptor cannons can defeat equal or smaller enemies with great speed.

Instruments of War

ANS Ricard Wagner



A towering ship, the ANS Richard Wagner measures a dozen kilometers in length, and carries the firepower of an entire Alliance battlegroup. It's heavy disruptor weapons can shred entire fleets to pieces, while it's main gun has the power output to destroy a small moon with a few shots. The Wagner is the Pride of the IAN, and serves as a command ship for Grand-Admiral Irving Newark.

Stations

Flute listening post



A small comms outpost, that serves as a relais for hyperspace communication.

Violin defense outpost



A powerful defense platform, the Violin is deployed in large numbers as a satellite sentry for most important Alliance colonies.

Tuba defended drydock



A common sight in orbit over most Allaince colonies, the Tuba serves as a repair station and construction facility for smaller Alliance warships. In battle, it provides extra defensive firepower and it's repair drones will conduct in flight repairs on allied ships.

The Vilushan Imperial Navy.

An integral part of the Alliance home defense fleet in the Milky Way Glaxy, Vilushan ships are considered standing at the pinnacle of engineering. Bristling with heavy plasma weapons, theu're more than a match for any invading fleet.



From small to large:

Desino class corvette
Expletio class frigate
Terminatio class battlecruiser
Peractio class carrier

while I personally am not a fan of their overall shape, the armament and design of these ships is very nice.

[Bad Boy]

Tsakara said exactly what I was planning to say minus a little bit. Anyway, I know this is a stereotype, but they look too blocky for super high tech ships. Also, are the weapons modded?

[Spoot Knight]

The Mega Tachyon's look like they literally pop out of the ship, that's some crazy 3D effect there.

You mean how MTs look when they're boosted? They always do that.

But I LUB the engine glow on the Porretti and Chopin. How'd you get the aegis to do that?

[ArcaneDude]

@Tsakara (&Bad boy): Yeah, I know, they're kinda blocky. But however, a super-high tech civilization would also use advanced building techniques to make their ships more sturdy. And, at least in BSF, blocky ships are more effective in the defense. And, yes, the wepons are modded.

@Spoot: That's just a Booster effect. Also, the MT's only function to give the main guns (railguns) a turreted look.

@mthminja: It's just a matter of choosing the right colour.

Also, I don't know if you've figured it out, but I'm gonna build alot more of these ships. Also, I'm gonna pour the storyline into a series of encounters when it's finished. You can expect the Confederacy fleet, and lots of other ships/fleets from all those races that compose both sides. e.g if I have an encounter at lets say Arei 3, you'll see the Areian fleet as well. So expect a huge buttload of ships.

[Master Chief]

So expect a huge buttload of ships.

I'll be waiting, then. That sounds really exciting...

[Anarki]

I want to blow them up...

[ArcaneDude]

@MC: Of course it'll take some time before everything's finished. But I expect to have a first download out somewhere along the next week.

@Anarki: Do you now? I must warn you, they're not stock balanced in any way.

[ArcaneDude]

Sorry for the double post, I wanted this up top.

As you can see I've began constructing the Alliance flagship, the ANS Richard Wagner, or Wagner class Instrument of War. Maybe you've seen it, but it's based on a pipe-organ. Now I have a few problems:

-1: how to place weapons without shmupping up the design
-2: whether or not to build a bit more outward, or to leave it this way
-3: whether to use some trickery and make it seem more baroque.

Any suggestions/ ideas?

[Joss]

Has this anything to do with Alfred Wagner?

[ArcaneDude]

What? Alfred Wagner? I believe the famous composer of Der Ring des Niebelungen, Tristan und Isolde, The Flying Dutchman and Das Rheingold was called Richard Wagner.

boy is he gonna be glad that I've used his name for a cataclysmic battleship...

[LykosisViert]

In re: the weapons placement -

Pipe organs pipes have funny shaped openings at the tops some of them. Mega beams or beams might give the same look.

[Impeached]

I like the look of it, perhaps you could put weapons on some of the little posts.
