Nation name: The Khe'val

Race: Khe’val

Nation Size:  1   -  One planet and Five moons.

Government type: Absolute and Unquestionable Communism

Important Government Figures: The council of the Khe'val, made up of twenty five of the most influential  female Khe’val from all sectors of the nation

Economy: State owned and government run

Important economic leaders: He’ka’to, she is the most influential Khe’val in the Khe'val Council

Religions: None, to believe in untrue and petty religious faith is not to be a Khe’val. Instead follow the unquestionable greater good of Khe'val kind!

Points of Interest: The Khe'val have control of only a single planet. It is a veritable haven, vast expanses of verdant jungle, roaring rivers of ultramarine water, and wide Plato’s of golden grass. Around the planet orbits five moons, each a ball of rock, and precious ores and minerals. Every one of the moons is heavily industrialised, and is where the Khe’val extract all their materials, as well as being a defensive fortress of firepower.

Every five years, hard working citizens of the Khe'val are allowed to return to the planet surface, living five years in their natural home. After this time they return to the moons to harvest and work once more. Groups of citizens are cycled so there are constantly Khe’val working, and Khe’val relaxing on their homeworld surface.




History:
To understand the Khe’val, as an inferior species, is like trying to understand a well orchestrated machine. An average Khe’val female, for the males are weaker and considered a flimsy chain in an otherwise strong species, stand around six foot high. Sleek fur covers much of their body, and their digitigrade feet are adorned with serrated claws. Each grows a pair of horns, black as obsidian, from the crown of their head and back down their neck.

The people of Khe’val have always been united, for it is imprinted on their very biological being. To want only for thyself, and to be greedy, is to not be Khe’val at all. It was a race seemingly evolved for communism. Being naturally very intelligent, strong and agile, Khe’val make the perfect workers and fighters. It was only a matter of time before they took to the stars, and inhabited the moons around they’re planet.

For reasons unknown, no Khe’val ships have ever ventured past twenty-five hundered miles of their planet. It seems they share an intimate link with the original homeworld, one which is strong enough to keep their nation close and together.



Strengths and weaknesses (non-military): Khe’val females are powerfull creatures, able to tear a lesser species limb from limb with their bare claws. They are industrious and hard workers, but are extremely stubborn, rarely adapting to new situations.


Phaze Tech (Hyper Tech)
The Khe’val have one true mastery of science, of which many lesser races are envious. Phaze Tech. Using monomer crystalic fields they can directly affect the directional flow of energy, ranging in many uses for their heavy space-bound ships:

-Phaze fields: Every Khe’val ship is equipped with phaze fields, helping them to slip underneath radar and sensors undetected. The field disrupts EM signals, bouncing them back in bizarre patterns to scramble systems. This technology has helped the small Khe’val fleets go unnoticed by larger nations many times.

-Phaze hulls: Every Khe’val ship is equipped with Phaze hulls, created from a mix of metallic compounds. They are naturally resistant to energy based weaponry, displacing the electro-field charge and dampening any damage effects.

-Phaze engines: Although rather un-imaginatively named, phaze engines are by no mean useless. Allowing a Khe’val ship to execute tight turns and manoeuvres, phase engines use an electro-monomer field to direct ion streams from the thrusters.

-Phaze cannons: Using the same electro-monomer field as with their engines, the Khe’val have created a kinetic based weapon that is similar in use to a railgun. Firing an explosive shell at hypervelocity, the Phaze cannon is a weapon with very long range, if slow firing speeds.



Military:

Doctrine: (Broadside cannons... FIRE!)The Khe’val are a defensive race by nature, never venturing far from their home planet. For this reason, their ships are equally brutal but slow on the attack. Every Khe’val ship mounts their weaponry on the port and starboard side, and when going into battle, they form a very distinct side-one battleline. Once in position, the Khe’val cruisers pour AI calculated firestorms of Phaze-cannon shells into the enemy, the sheer volume of cannons firing making up for the individual slow speed. (Imagine old galleon ships firing broadsides in pirate movies... but in space! ;) )

The Khe'val use only one ship (aside from smaller civilian class ships) a powerful cruiser which creates the mainstay for the small Khe'val defence fleet...

Ship Class name: Khe’val Broadside cruiser

Hull size:  Cruiser

Combat designation: Bombardment ship

Weapons: Ten batteries of Phaze-cannons on each side, each comprising of five individual cannons. No weaponry on top, bottom, front or rear.

Engines: Phaze engines, three thrusters at the rear, combined with the advanced Phaze-tech allows the cruiser to pivot quickly and bring its broadside to bear!

Defenses: Thick ablative armour, and Phaze hulls (see Phaze-tech for details, budding commander)



Ground armies: None... The Khe’val fight only in space. To fight on the surface of their homeworld would be barbaric, and taint such a beautiful world. It may seem strange to other inferior races, but to the Khe’val it would be like asking them to breathe under water.



Superweapon:

-Fear The Great Bombardment Batteries of  Khe’val!- The five moons of Khe’val are heavily industrialised, and so with factories producing artillery shells for Phaze-cannons on them, it seemed only logical to the defensive orientated Khe’val to mount weapons on them.

Each moon is dotted with huge steel structures, visible from space, each of which houses thousands of Phaze-cannons. Together they can orchestrate the largest criss-crossing rain of steel death ever seen. While useless in an offensive role, the Bombardment Batteries of Khe’val have proven effective at keeping intruders off home soil.

The one weakness of the Bombardment batteries is timing. For an entire week every year, the moons are aligned on one side of the planet, leaving the other defenceless. At other times of the year some areas are less protected than others due to the moons strange and elliptical orbits of the planet, meaning a very clever commander could orchestrate an attack without ever fearing the retribution of the Khe’val’s only superweapon.





That was a lot of writing and thought put into that  o.O     Hope its okay Gab, I tried to make my nation have both some good strengths, as well as weaknesses... If this Rp is as fun as it was just making this lot up and writing it, then t'is gonna be a good 'un!   :P

It’s easy to see the strength/weakness ratio of my nation *sigh*…they are very powerful. But very idiotic. They can easily defeat others, but if others find a little niche in their system to crawl into…then they are the ones becoming easily defeated. They rely on luck mostly.

First off, though, I don’t know jack about military, let alone space battles. Lol. I tried by doing a lot of research but honestly I think I epically failed. DX However, I did attempt to translate my lack of knowledge into my nation and make them equally lacking in knowledge. If you need an example of just how badly I epically fail at military, the first thing I thought upon starting writing for my ships was: “What’s a hull?”

Luckily research is always helpful.

Also, geeze, I’m the first one with the guts to go Level 4, except for probably Gabag. Then again…it isn’t always guts that gives a guy a win.

It is too big of a word count to post...so there is a file.  :'(

(Oh god my grammar was an epic fail....had gotten about 0 hours of sleep when I wrote it)

Ok Lady and gentlemen, we have a sufficient number of people in this roleplay

we are officially ready for launch

before we do that however i'm going to lay down a few NPC factions
note how the information is scarce, but then its supposed to be.

Marauders:
A band of pirates, no one really knows where they came from. We do know their mantra
Kill, Maim, Burn

Take what you can, kill the rest.

Chilling. Their forces rely on speed and firepower instead of durability on raids, such as their Longsword Bomber/Interceptor (taken from a halo website dont whine)


or their Boarding ships designed to disable larger ships, and await for the boarding parties


these ships are designed for speed and firepower
if you can hit them, your pretty much assured they're dead, however good luck hitting them

Their Boarding troops rely on the same Mantra, speed and firepower.
As such the Maruders who board ships have a light flexible armor suit that can take some hits, but is relativly weak under pressure, and they all have Assault rifles that fire a strange crystal shard that rends flesh and armor alike.

Once they take what they want
they scuttle the ship, or take it with them, and no one knows what happens then.
When one of their outposts is found and assaulted, they reverse their mantra
The outposts themselves have firepower, and are supplemented by orbital space cannons, but the troops inside and the ships outside have heavier armor, designed for a drawn out assault obviously. No one knows exactly what the firepower is, because the surprised attackers were quickly decimated by what they thought to be weak ships.

No knowledge on their origin, no knowledge on their leadership
We only know of them because they assaulted, and captured (im gonna have to pick on you sasha, i apologize) A Sanctuary Nuarline transport ship, and kidnapped everyone on board. No demands were requested, fate of kidnapped unknown.

The Kingdom of Norsca: A relatively new space born power, they would be considered a class 2. Little is known of them since their initial broadcast to the stars. They declared their space sealed to any and all ships and Nations, and no one knows why. Military, or political status is completely unknown.


And more NPC factions will come later

Howzat?  :P

I think I'm going to like this RP   :)


Post Merge: September 13, 2010, 09:01:55 PM
Oh, and because I can, and because it is to do with what I posted in the RP:


Ship name: Khe’val 'Punisher Frigate'

Hull size:  Frigate

Combat designation: Fast response and 'Artillery Spotter'  -The Punisher is often used to patrol areas of Khe'val space, it can be run with a very small crew due to its automated sensor systems, making it perfect for search and rescue missions.

Weapons: A single battery of Phaze cannons on each flank. No weaponry on top, bottom, front or rear. Is outfitted with a very complex bridge, incorporating hundreds of scanners and sensors, making this ship very usefull for patrol missions, as well as plotting firing details for larger ships.

Engines: Phaze engines, five thrusters at the rear. The large numbers of engines on such a small ship, makes this the fastest Khe'val vessel used widely in the military. It is also fitted with extra crew space, allowing it to rescue stranded crews.

Defenses: Thick ablative armour, and Phaze hulls (see Phaze-tech for details, budding commander)




Yeah, another ship... Because I really like the look of these kinda ships on EVE   :P

Can't wait to get started!  It's been FOREEEEEVVVEERRRR since I've been in an rp period
need to grease up my rusty spots :D
The kind of people who take the lead, are the ones who die most famously.
Those who follow, die in peace.
Which one would you prefer?

Okay, personally I'm not a great fan of EVEonline (its waaay too expensive)...

But, this video is just too epic... I love space battles in movies and such, and I think this is brilliant (and rather fitting for the RP too  :P  )

See! i have an excuse for posting this video! Not just the fact its spaceships and totally awesome  ;)

Oh, plus there is Russians in it... Russiaaaans!  :)
