War for the Universe - Segregation Warband [DEAD]

Post by TehPlazmon »

The Segregation Warband

Summary
Spoiler!
The Segregation Warband is a collective of outcasts from almost every single race discovered. Though they are a relatively small empire, they still manage to survive on their own by raiding star bases, looting trade ships, steeling cruisers and killing anything that comes within 20,000 Klicks of their positions. They are made up of pirates, prisoners, ex-mercenaries and the occasional innocent newcomer. Since they don't actually have a home planet, they are always on the move. Living out of large capital ships and huge star bases and a few small colonies on hidden planets.
Ships Overview
Spoiler!
Surprisingly, all of the Segregation's ships are manufactured by themselves. This may involve refits of captured civilian ships or entire construction from scratch. Most of the parts are acquired through scrapping looted vessels. Most ships have a dual-prong appearance and all Segregation vessels sport a dark green/grey paint scheme. The rare orange markings on some ships indicate that their technology is currently in an experimental stage, this usually means you should start running.
Technology
Spoiler!
Most of the tech used is out of date and old, however, it never fails on us. The rocket engines used are only second generation, as they are easy to build, hence why many Segregation ships are relatively slow. However, the weapons technology is whatever they get their hands on and reverse engineer. This means that while many of the weapons are basic cannons, weapons such as particle acceleration cannons and pile-drivers are seen frequently. The Segregation usually outfits its ships with only light armor, as armor plating is expensive to replace and slows the ships down even more. The Segregation has gotten to the stage where it is beginning to experiment with various other forms of weaponry in order to keep on top of other factions.
Corvettes

HAC-03 'Switchblade'
Spoiler!
Image
Named due to it's notorious ability to slip off radar due to its size but still manage to pack enough punch to bring down larger ships. Usually in packs of 5 to 9 but they have seen use in teams of only 3. Segregation currently has around 600 in service but is slowly replacing these with other more effective craft.

Class:
Heavy Corvette
Designation:
Heavy Attack Corvette - Model 03
Armaments:
4x 63mm HCGs
Defences:
None.
PDC-08 'Pile Driver'
Spoiler!
Image
Flying this is a punishment and a redemption. Only the worst criminals of the Segregation are forced to fly these ships. The Pile Driver is designed to ram an enemy ship a drive a nuclear warhead under its hull. This does not guarantee survival. Only lightly armoured, a melee weapon and no defences, this ship uses its speed to and numbers to close in on and destroy enemy ships. If the pilot survives, they are freed of their crimes. As they are so easy to make, these things are basically limitless and so is the population of expendable pilots.

Class:
Ultra-Light Corvette
Designation:
Pile Driver Corvette - Model 08
Armaments:
1x Tactical Nuclear PD
Defences:
None.
EDC-06 'Riot Shield'
Spoiler!
Image
The standard order enforcement vessel. Used for everything from guarding star bases to fighting off small raids. Designed to look more menacing than it actually is. Defenceless, but it can pack out a hell of a lot of punch from the 8 Short Range Swarm Launchers. Not yet recorded in any actual battles but they have seen plenty of use in crowd control, crushing rebellions and generally keeping the pirate populace together and in line. Usually seen in pairs but squads of up to 5 have been recorded. Not many in service, currently only around 50 are used for the general militia of Segregation worlds.

Class:
Medium Corvette
Designation:
Enforcer Department Corvette - Model 08
Armaments:
8x SRSMs
2x 63mm HCGs
Defences:
None.
Frigates

FAF-09 'Shiv'
Spoiler!
Image
Named 'Shiv' due to it's makeshift nature. It was originally a small, private ship, someone decided to refit one as an assault vessel. The ships success led it to come into standard service. Usually deployed in fire-teams of 3, however they are known to come alone. These ships number in the thousands as they are easily constructed and they can be found on many civilian worlds during raids. This ship currently makes up the bulk of the fleet.

Class:
Light Frigate
Designation:
Fast Assault Frigate - Model 09
Armaments:
2x Low Frequency PACs
Defences:
2x Vulcan CIWSs
CHF-05 'Battlehammer'
Spoiler!
Image
Named correctly for its ability to destroy basically anything. The Battlehammer has medium defences while having only 2 offensive weapons: Twin Interstellar Ballistic Missiles. It doesn't matter how big or how well shielded your ship is, this thing will blow it up. No more than 2 have ever been deployed to the same location at 1 time. Never comes by itself, always has an escort of other corvettes, frigates or sometimes cruisers. Only several hundred exist, due to a lacking plutonium supply.

Class:
Medium Frigate
Designation:
Capital-ship Hunter Frigate - Model 05
Armaments:
2x Armoured ISBM
Defences:
4x Vulcan CIWSs
MSF-02 'Moltov'
Spoiler!
Image
One of the only multi-role ships that the Segregation has. The MSF provides direct fire support and packs out plenty of punch for its size. That being said, it usually comes alone or occasionally in pairs for larger conflicts. The ship was built to support other, less deadly ships on the field by severely damaging large enemies, making them easy picking for Corvettes and light frigates. The name came about in its first use, where it was deployed to assist in raids on the outlying Mioran Colonies, where it used thermite warheads to clear out Civilian structures and destroy fuel supplies. Numbers currently at around 300, however, another 600 are part of a large scale fleet upgrade due to come in at some point.

Class:
Heavy Frigate
Designation:
Missile Support Frigate - Model 02
Armaments:
4x TwinTubed Stinger Launchers
Defences:
2x Vulcan CIWSs
RAF-15E 'Splinter'
Spoiler!
Image
Hasn't seen a live battlefield situation yet. An experimental ship, hence the orange markings, for testing a fully Segregation constructed advanced rail weapon. The Segregation is still looking for a battleground to test this on before the employ the rail weapon into standard use on Cruisers and Battleships. Also used for last-stage testing of a beam based point defence. Various ships will be fitted with the beam defence if trials with the defence of this ship are successful. Only 3 in existence.

Class:
Medium Experimental Frigate
Designation:
Rail Attack Frigate - Model 15 Experimental
Armaments:
1x ERD
Defences:
2x EBD
Cruisers

LRSC-04 'Boomstick'
Spoiler!
Image
The name Nickname is due to the heavy duty shotguns mounted on the front for defence. Aside from the twin-shotguns, it's a long range ship, designed for bombarding 1 or 2 things from a good distance. Commonly deployed in pairs. Atleast 200 of these exist but the assault variant is more commonly in production.

Class:
Medium Support Cruiser
Designation:
Long Range Skirmish Cruiser - Model 04
Armaments:
2x 0.3 Gauge HDSCs
2x 600mm Heavy Cannons
Defences:
4x Vulcan CIWSs
MRBC-04A 'Gauss'
Spoiler!
Image
A battle cruiser to provide direct fire support against swarms of smaller ships. Named after the 2 long barreled Gatling Gauss Guns mounted up the back. This ship uses the same Model 4 chassis as the Boomstick. Only 100 exist so far, however, this number is steadily increasing.

Class:
Medium Battle Cruiser
Designation:
Mid Range Battle Cruiser - Model 04 Assault
Armaments:
2x Low Frequency PACs
2x 43mm GGGs
Defences:
4x Vulcan CIWSs
MAD-13 'Hatchet'
Spoiler!
Image
One of the better armoured ships. Hatchet was designed to hack away at both large and small vessels. Never found in packs but up to 3 are deployed into standard war sectors. Only around 90 currently in service. Although simple to build, this ship is large and must be constructed from scratch, hence restricting its production to a few star bases.

Class:
Medium Destroyer
Designation:
Medium Armored Destroyer - Model 12
Armaments:
4x Twinlinked 400mm Demolisher Cannons
1x TwinTubed Stinger Launchers
Defences:
4x Vulcan CIWSs
Battleships

CBS-12 'Lancer'
Spoiler!
Image
Utterly freakin' HUGE. Only 3 of these ships currently exist and no more than 1 has ever been deployed to the same combat situation yet. One of the only segregation ships to use heavy armor, this thing isn't just armed to the teeth but it's also practically indestructible. None of these vessels have ever been destroyed in the past and they are only deployed to full blown war efforts, meaning they have seen little combat.

Class:
Capital Battleship
Designation:
Capital Battleship - Model 12
Armaments:
4x Low Frequency PACs
4x 43mm GGGs
2x 600mm Heavy Cannons
2x Twinlinked 400mm Demolisher Cannons
2x TwinTubed Stinger Launchers
Defences:
8x Vulcan CIWSs
Emplacements

BSDE-S10 'Buckler'
Spoiler!
Image
A relatively scrapped together design that can be built out of civilian ship parts with a few basic weapons and only 1 military grade armament. As pathetic as this station looks, it can project a bubble shield big enough to completely cover 2 Lancer class battleships from enemy fire. Lightly armored and poorly armed, this station is used only for it's defensive shielding capabilities. None actually exist on standby, however they can be scrapped together in a matter of hours.

Class:
Shield Station
Designation:
Bubble Shield Defensive Emplacement - Model Station 01
Armaments:
1x 0.3 Gauge HDSC
1xx Low Frequency PAC
1x TwinTubed Stinger Launcher
Defences:
3x Vulcan CIWSs

Heey! You are sneakily making moar. I like the corvette quite a bit, actually most of the punch thus far. It does seem to lack some detail and appears... to have little depth. Though, these are not bad ships for first thread and with so many popping in such a short time.

Better make sure that your ships ain't in the wrong classification but it's your choice anyway.

Ship classification is something that's entirely up to the you. If you're not adhering to any balancing standard, then you can do pretty much whatever you want. Remember that aesthetics is more important than balancing.
