Fiction:United Federation of Species/Technology

Why are they so advanced?
The Federation has a pro-evolucionist politic, therefore supports any project to expand its technological frontiers, provided these projects do not go against their humanistic philosophies and policies. This explain their constant technological advance, but do not explain their scientific growth in such a short time, the causative of that is constant relationship with other species more advanced, allowing the free exchange of technology or the use of reverse engineering. Also, their currently masive expansion give the enough resources to allow the Federation to fund their research.

Military Technology
A great part of the Federation's income is destinated to the development of new weapons and starships, so lot of the available techonolgy was a piece of military technology or was developed like a weapon. The Federation's Military Techonolgy is at constant improve, allowing it to easily submit less advanced enemies and challenge larger powers.

Weapons
The Federation's arsenal is really variated, going from terrifying weapons of mass destruction to small antipersonnel weapons.

Weapons of Mass Destruction
Weapons of mass destruction are weapons with the potential to claim significant numbers of lives in a very short period of time. The Weapons of Mass Destruction in the Federation are mostly prohibited, with excepcions like a masive war or in probably lost a battle with the permission of the Great General.

Planet Busters= Javelin of Judgement A huge antimatter missile launched at high speeds from a spacecraft in orbit, the projectile tends to accelerate during its fall to the planet's surface into contact with the ground. At that time the impact drives the activation of the weapon system, allowing the mass of antimatter come into contact with matter on the planet, causing an explosion of epic proportions. The explosion can destroy the planet or not, it depends on the mass and volume of the latter, but the huge destruction on the planet can cause breaks in the tectonic plates, causing major natural disasters worldwide.

Hyperlasers A weapon of terrifying power, used as a destroyer of planets or entire fleets screwed. The Hyperlaser is usually placed in a flagship, which creates several hypermatter ray coordinates and such that can cause great havoc among the enemy ranks. It has raised the idea of ​​using a weapon like this, only more localized, to generate a "subspace compression wave", but the problems of engineering and technology to develop something like that to make a project very, very long term or just left it in the plane of the theoretical. Currently only a small percentage of the Federation ships use this weapon, considering it too dangerous and expensive.

Star Busters= Cosmic Spear Cosmic Spear was until recently just a project, the name comes from that originally the idea was to use the ultra-energetic cosmic rays as a weapon of mass destruction. The project was frozen during the time of inestbilidad Federation policy, which allowed the development of other technologies, to restart the project was taken into account by combining this weapon with massive railgun known as Finger God could create a relativistic missile staggering proportions. If a projectile of the Cosmic Spear (a massive object thrown at very high speeds, approaching the speed of light) is thrown against a star high energies that it would produce would be enough to create a small black hole, which food of star power and increase its size to considerable proportions.

Star Slayer One of the most lethal weapons of the Federation is the Star Slayer, a highly dangerous instrument which aims to shorten the life of a star in a short period of time. The device is basically a fusion generator high resistance to pressure and heat, equipped with prototype shield metric generator consumes much of the star's mass and energy transforms into a huge artificial gravitario field, which helps to collapse the star. At one point, the generator is disabled and delicate artificial gravity generator stops working, so compact the star can become a black hole, exploding in a supernova or turn into a white dwarf's. Either way the lives of the inhabitants of the system will be affected.

Others= Nanobots Swarm The Nanobot Swarm is basically a small cloud of robots of a size smaller than a cell specifically designed to destroy, create and multiply. These simple commands are for nanobots are programmed, programming commands them first "destroy", separating microscopic level of matter that are composed of structures, ships, vehicles, weapons and bodies of the enemy. The second order is "create", create more ships, arms and supplies for the soldiers. Finally ordered "multiply", which is simply to use the remains of the enemy to create more nanobots. Once the enemy is annihilated orders the nanobots shut down, to avoid any problems of control. The Nanobot Swarm has not again been used since the Dark Days.

Starships Scale Weapons
The Starships Scale Weapons, as its name implies, are weapons designed by the space battle, mainly used in ship-to-ship combat, although there are exceptions in which the attack ship units on the surface of the planet. This weapons, in different sizes, are used massively for all federal ships. This arsenal is varied, going from terrible weapons to powerful particle beam weapons, through the field of ballistics and explosives.

Balistic Weapons= Rocket Missile The Missile Rocket is one of the most primitive weapons ideas of the Federation, but its attractive like a cheap explosive weapon made it one of the most used weapons in the history of the Federation. Its design has changed a lot over the years with one goal, to make it more lethal. This has been achieved through various efforts, missile becoming faster, bigger and more explosive. The latest model signals a missile several meters long warheads loaded with nuclear fusion or antimatter, capable of accelerating at a rate comparable to Mach 4.

EMP Missile The EMP missile is one of the most massive weapons used in the Federation, used in different shapes and sizes in all large-scale ships from USF and also some small scale. Basically this is a missile warhead containing any device capable of producing a localized nuclear explosion produce a powerful EMP. Many times the missile is located in a drone for it to penetrate the outer defenses of the ship and so the electromagnetic pulse is more effective. Its use is standard on ships of the Federation.

Antimatter Missile and Bomb The antimatter missiles and the antimatter bombs are the horror of the enemies of the Fedeartion. Most of the large vessels of the Federation are appointed by these weapons, designed to attack ships or cities. The terrible power of antimatter is its known property, when in contact with matter, releasing all the energy contained in their atoms into pure energy, which explains why thermonuclear weapons were replaced by these mostly.

Particule Weapons= Railgun Battery The Railgun Battery is bassicaly a great proyectile driven by powerful electromagnetic fields through a reinforcement of a highly dense, reaching speeds by huge momentum, allowing a great impact on the target. This weapon comprises a pair of parallel conducting rails, along which a sliding armature is accelerated by the electromagnetic effects of a current that flows down one rail, into the armature and then back along the other rail. The Railgun technology is actually primitive, but the great amount of energy that the Federation can generate and control make this weapon a powerful threat.

Lasers and turbolasers The most common weapons in the Federation are lasers and turbolasers, several variants of these weapons, such as guns, turrets (in the case of lasers) and turrets and arrays (with turbolasers). The guns are basically a powerful source of energy for generating a beam of highly concentrated electromagnetic energy in a beam whose photons are sorted. The turrets are distinguished from them by their superior firepower, but also because of its higher energy requirement and larger size. Finally, the turbolaser array is the name given to the turbolaser network used primarily as "aggressive defense".

High energy weapons= Plasmathrower The Plasmathrower, also known as the plasma gun, is basically a railgun that instead of using a massive object uses a plasma efera created from electromagnetism. They are generally used as weapons against ships not very large scale, for which it must use larger weapons. Due to the versatile shapes that plasma can take from right electromagnetic field, plasma bullets are able to adapt their shape and size of the objective in question.

Bay Bombs The Bay Bomb is one of the most frightening and devastating orbital strike weapons of the Federation. The name of this pump is due to two effects which this may cause, in case of hitting mainland causes damage pump capable of generating a hole of such a size that resembles a lake (whether this be filled with water ), plus, in case of hitting a coastline or water body blast pump can cause a tsunami flooded coastal cities closest (create a bay). It is known that bomb performance is related to high-energy weapons (such as plasma or antimatter) is unknown but the exact function of said weapon.

Vehicules Scale Weapons
The scale vehicle weapons are those weapons intended to settle at or other armored military vehicles, which are designed for combat principalemtne other vehicles, units or structures. The Federation has designed several types of such weapons, which vary greatly in size, weight and firepower. Among the most common can find the railguns and plasma cannons, although there are variations.

Railgun weapons= Anti-tank Railgun The anti-tank railgun is one of the most powerful weapons railgun that vehicles of the Federation have had access. Basically it works like any railgun, a projectile fired at high speed from a powerful electromagnetic field, only that due to its larger size and energy source, the electromagnetic field is more powerful and is more lethal projectile.

Railgun The railgun railgun standard battery is simply a smaller one that is capable of being transported by a vehicle. Because of the lower power of impact, is mainly used as a secondary weapon for a shielded, but with proper modifications, larger size or power source specified for that weapon, can be used as a pretty lethal weapon.

Light Railgun The light railgun is similar to the other railguns, with two exceptions simple. First, it is designed as a shock weapon but as a secondary weapon, and second, is specifically designed to shoot long bursts of small projectiles at very high speed. For these reasons they are used only in larger vehicles, which like siege towers or mobile fortresses, are used to attack targets lighter or ground units.

Energy weapons= Heavy Plasma Cannon The Heavy Plasma Cannon is a weapons-armored armored deadliest of the Federation, is basically a giant plasma generator bullets of less than one meter in diameter thrown at high speed on a rail gun to the selected target. The shot is so devastating that it is generally used only to attack targets such as armored vehicles too, buildings, etc.

Radiation Gun The radiation weapons guns are anti-troops hated by the enemies of the whole federation. Basically it is a weapon capable of running different types of radiation to an enemy squadron, which can result from blindness to death by oxidation of the blood. This weapon is rarely used as a primary weapon, but it is used as a secondary weapon of the vehicles.

Unit Scale Weapons
Melee Weapons= Plasma Sticks Popularly known as the blades of plasma or plasma sheet, the plasma sticks are the most legendary melee weapons of the Federation. Designed four hundred years ago, the plasma sticks are a symbol of authority and military power in the Federation, so much so that everyone in authority must have at least one. The classic design of the plasma is basically stick a metal rod that emits ionized gases. By transforming these plasma gases and to adapt to a cylindrical shape, it obtains a high power cutting element.

Electric Spears The electric spears are the modern version of the ancient human sarissa, a long spear that are electrically charged tip, becoming a powerful weapon of mass contact attacks of enemy soldiers or vehicles, causing damage to their electrical systems. The frontline soldiers usually use this weapon, which are generally recruits with no experience, who have died in huge quantities for carrying this weapon. Currently, the death of the soldiers in the front line has been greatly reduced by the new armor systems.

Battle Knife The battle knife is the last Federation's soldier weapon option, being a contact weapon with a little power of penetration. The battle knife is used universally among all armed forces of the Federation, being a melee weapon or a survival tool. It is quite versatile because of its many functions in the hands of a creative soldier and small size allows transport almost anywhere. Basically the knife is an extremely thin sheet of carbon nanotubes, sinedo very cheap to produce and very effective.

Rifles= Blaster Rifle T-900 The Blaster Rifle T-900 is the most common weapon of a standar Federation's soldier. The T-900 is bassicaly a powerful energy battery which produces a pulse of photons extremely concentrated, it is directed through the gun toward the enemy.
