Fiction:Troodontid Empire

The Troodontid Empire is a small and quite young empire. It only inhabitats 21 star systems. Its capital is the city Troodontia on the planet Raptura in the Solaris System.

Soldiers
General=

The Generals are the leaders in battle. They normally don`t fight, but send the troops to battle. Most of them were previously destroyers or other elite troops and have been trained to become generals since they joind the military. Since all have to be veteran soldiers of the Empire, only Troodontids have that position.

Foot Soldiers=

80 % of the armed forces are foot soldiers. They are trained to fight in groups. Although they have some armour, they mainly ralay on their speed and the destructive power of their weapons. Every soldier was a foot soldier once.

Snipers=

Only few soldiers are snipers. They are trained to act alone and to shoot specific targets, even in crowded areas. In battles they normally stay in the background and somewhere out of reach of the enemys` soldiers and try to destroy the enemys`vehicles. Only Sinornitholea are trained for that style of fighting.

Gilders=

This type of soldier is the only one that is used in space, too. They have jetpacks which can carry them far over the enemys` lines. From tht position they can surprise the enemys and kill many of them before flying out of reach again. Only Troodontids are trained for that fighting style.

Scouts=

Scouts infiltrate enemy`s bases, drive vehicles and search for enemy`s bases. They are trained to act both in groups and alone and to use various different weapons from granades to rocket launchers.

Destroyers=

Destroyers are the elite troopers. they are trained to destroy anything in their way from enemy`s buildings to attacking vehicles. They are armoured and can take several hits before beig killed. They normally act alone, but sometimes they work in pairs.

Main
After the big loses in the battles with the Drakodominatus Tyranny, it was nearly impossible to continue having a huge army with Troodontids and Sinornithola. Instead they started to work on an Android Army. This army has several different types of battle droids. Some of them are starfighters or other aircrafts, while others operate on the ground. Each of them is similar to a real living being, but they always obey their orders and have no fear. Other than normal soldiers they aren`t able to decide between right or wrong. Nevertheless they are able to develop own strategys when the orders from the Troodontids are defective or they are cut off from the central computers of the spaceships.

Ground Androids
Battle Androids=

Battle Androids were the first battle droids of the Troodontids. Their armour is very weak and they normally can`t take more than one shot. Apart from that their weapons are quite weak. They normally win battles because of their huge number.

Assault Battle Androids=

Assault Battle Droids are a better and more common than the normal battle droids. They are a bit slower, but have a much bigger firepower. Aprt from that they are able to fight in close combat. Like the Battle Androids they attack in huge armys.

Sniper Battle Androids=

Sniper Androids are fast, camouflaged units that normally act in pairs. They are used to destroy small or fast aims normal battle droids don`t hit. They have a stronger armour and bigger firepower than both Assault Battle Androids and Battle Androids. Although they are useful on the frontline, they are normally used at fixed position around the battle ground.

Attacker Battle Androids=

Attacker Battle Androids are designed for close combat. There are oly few of them and they normally follow the army of Battle Androids and Heavy Battle Androids in order to finish off the survivors. They normally act in small groups and are most commonly used in urban regions, because there their close combat abilities are a huge advantage.

Guard Battle Droids=

Guard Battle Droids are a type of elite battle droids. They are far more independent than other battle droids. They usually act in pairs in order to protect important persons or prisoners. They are able to fight in both range and close combat. Their armour is quite weak although they are able to take two or three shots from most weapons.

Rocket Battle Droids=

Rocket Battle Droids were the first jetpack droids to be built by the Troodontids. They are quite fast and well armoured since they are protected by shields, but like they only have weak weapons that hardly damage spaceships. Because of that they are usually used to attack enemy`s ground units from above.

Air Battle Droids=

Air Battle Droids are a mix between Rocket Battle Droids and Heavy Rocket Battle Droids. Although their armour is stronger than that of the usual Rocket Battle Droid, it isn`t as strong as the one of Heavy one. In return they are faster than the Heavy Rocket Battle Droids. Their weaponary is much stronger than that of both of them. Because of that they are the ones that are used to defend spaceships from starfighters and small spaceships.

Firefighter Droids=

Firefighter Droids aren`t used in combat, but they are very common on Troodontid Spaceships. They are modified battle droids that are used to slake fires on spaceships and to repair damages. They have no combat abilities.

Heavy Battle Droids=

Heavy Battle Droids are similar to Battle Droids, but they have stronger weapons and a lot better armour. In return they are a lot slower and their armour disables them to make sudden moves which makes thm useless in close combat. Instead they only fix on range combat.

Heavy Rocket Battle Droids=

Heavy Rocket Battle Droids are the aerial version of the Heav Battle Droids. Apart from the shields and the jetpack they don`t differ from the normal version. They are only used to take over enemy`s cruisers. Apart from that they are used in ground battles in urban regions where their ability to fly is a big advantage for a ranged unit.

Heavy Destroyers=

Heavy Destroyers are the elite version of the Heavy Battle Droids. They are very slow, but have enormous fire power. That makes them exspecially useful against vehicles and buildings. They are very rare, but are highly effective.

Crawler Droids=

Cawler Droids are highly effctive vehicle droids. They are able to fire lasers much faster than other droids, but are quite slow. They are used in every terrain since they are able to climb, jump and dive without problems. They are heavily armoured and their sensors are the only vulnerable point viible.

Tank Droids=

Tank Droids are the droids with the est armour. Even heavy missile bombardment does onlyy light damage to those droids. Their weapons are heavy laser cannons with a big range. In return the droids are very slow and aren`t able move through muddy regions.

Hailfire Droids=

Hailfire Droids are the most feared battle droids of the Troodontids. They carry both laser cannons and missiles. The missiles have an extremly wide range and do much harm to both ground units and spaceships. Nevertheless are the Hailfire Droids very fast and their amour allows them to take several hits, even from missiles.

Spider Droids=

Spider Droids are small, mobile laser turrets. They are quite slow, but have a good armour and a wide range. They are normally used for defending buildings or cities and not during attacks. They often hide in holes and shoot at any unlucky enemy who hasn`t noticed them in time and now got into their vision.

Quadro Droids=

Quadro Droids are slow moving, extremly powerful ground droids similar to Spider Droids. They can fire in four directions at the same time and eacch cannon is working independently. They are used aainst enemy`s tanks, too , by shooting missiles at the from the bottom of their body.

Aerial Droids
Droid Starfighters=

Droid Starfighters are very fast and dangerous starfighters carried by all Troodontid Spaceships. They are build for defending and attacking both ground units and spaceships. Although they are very fast, they shoot very precisly.

Droid Bombers=

Droid Bombers are used to attack slow ground targets and big spaceships. They carry both missiles and bombs and even have two laser cannons to keep enemy`s starfighters away. Normally they are guarded by several Droid Starfighters during an attack. Because of the similar appearance it is nearly impossible to find out which one iis the bomber before it is too late.

Droid Attackers=

Droid Attackers take the same slot as the normal Attackers in the Troodontid`s army. They are very strong, powerful and deadly starfighters that are used in both space fights and ground attles. They can act without any connection to the main spaceship computer and are - because of that and the powerful drive - able to handle missions without a spaceship near it.

Sniper Starfighters=

Sniper Starfighters are an elite type of the Droid Attackers. Also know as predators they are build to destoy much bigger spaceshipss, defence systems and troops without heelp from bigger spaceships. They are very fast, protected by a shield and hidden by a coating system.

Starbombers=

Starbombers are fast, strong and dangerous bombers. Their fire power isn`t as big as the one of the Droid Bombers, but they are even faster than them and because of their build able to fly even more difficult maneuvers.

Droid Gunship=

Droid Gunships are big, slow-moving destroyers. They are mostly used to destroy cities or ground targets, because they are too slow to be effectivly used against spaceships. There is a special version with shields is build to finish off damaged shhips, but this type is very rare.

Droid Boarding Ships=

Droid Boarding Ships are vey fast ships that are used to board bigger spaceships. They lack of weapons, but are able to melt through spaceships surface iin order to release battle droids into the spaceships interior.

Droid Missile=

Droid Missiles are a special type of missile. Unlike other missiles they have their own droid brain and are because of that able to fly maneuvers, go around barriers and shields and changing course without bigger problems.

Military Vehicles
Spy=

Spys are air vehicles that search for enemy`s bases. They only have weak armour and fire power, but are very fast.

Size: 3 metres

Attacker=

Attackers are the most powerful aircrafts of the Troodontid Empire. They have a huge firepower and a good armour, but they lack of speed. They normally only attack other air vehicles and no ground units, because their lasers are more effective against those. Some special mofifcations of them are built to destroy the cities of the enemys quickly. In return they have less armour.

Size: 22 metres

Dropship=

The Dropship is a four-winged troop ship. It is heavily armoured and quite fast, but they lack of weapons. Although they are mainly built for planetar useage, they can travel over short distances in space, too, like from a mothership to a planet.

Size: 203 metres

Interceptor=

The Interceptors are medium sized aircrafts. They are similar to Attackers, but smaller and faster. In return they lack of most armour. They are mainly used against ground targets.

Size: 8,8 metres

Sea Serpent=

Seaserpents are submarine. It is very fast and has a powerful machine gun, but it has only weak armour. They work in groups and are designed to destroy other marine vehicles from beneath. They are very good in doing that, but quite weak in fight against other types of enemys.

Size: 12 metres

Undersea Destroyer=

Undersea Destroyers are extremly powerful submarine that is covered with a thick armour. They can be used like boats or even - at coastlines - land vehices, too. The only problem is that although its drive is powerful, it is slow moving. It needs a vanguard in order to work effectivly.

Size: 43 metres

Dropship=

Dropships are big, slow moving ships. They have no weaponary, because they are onlyused to transport the soldiers to the place where they are needed.

Size: 158 metres

Gunship=

Gunships are the ships with mst destructive power. They are rmured with several missiles and torpedos and can attack both land and waterunits as well as units that fly above them. All missiles and torpedos are target searching and can be navigated from the ship.

Size: 38 metres

Devastator=

Devastators are extremly powerful tanks. They have a long range for their missiles and granades. When they prepare to defend or attack something from one and the same position, they dig themselves into the earth.

Size: 12 metres

Powertank=

Powertanks are verypowerful and fast repulsor-tanks. They are diffiicult to be destroyed, but they can easily be pushed around during fights because they are quite light and have no contact to the ground.

Size: 5,6 metres

Roadrunner=

Roadrunners are big ground vehicles. Although they have powerful weapons and a good armour, they are quite fast. Their weak spot are their legs which can easily be destroyed if they are hit by a missile.

Size: 6 metres

Speedracer=

Speedracers are weak, but very fast repulsor-vehicles. They can shake off most other vehicles, but they are only weaponed with one single cannon. It is only useful against slow-moving targets.

Size: 7,9 metres

Government
The Troodontid Empire is ruled by the Senate. The Senate is union of the wisest and most intelligent members of all species of the Empire. Every species of the Empire has 100 senate members. The Senate is led by the President. He alone is able to decide which law is made and which not. On the other hand he can make no laws without the agreement of at least two thirds of the senate. The seant`s member are elected every three years by all citizens entitled to vote ( adult non-criminals ). After that the Senat`s members elect a President. The Senate can deduct the President any time if more than two thirds of them want that. Since its foundation of the government, the president staid the same person: Draikon.

Philosophy
The Troodoontids are pure scientists. They prefer it too simply watrch and study. They do a lot of research before acting in any way. They mostly don`t care about other people`s wars and disputes as long as they don`t affect themselves. They are quite peaceful and prefer talking over fighting. Nevertheless they are good allies and never break a treaty if there isn`t a very good purpose for that. The Sinornitholeas are scientists, too, but with a mx of warriors. They prefer to watch, too, but when they see that something threatens them or could do it in future , they will either turn aggressive or try to make peace treaties. Most of the time they leave the talking to the Troodontids.

Studies
The Scientists are interested in several studies. Most importantly is the research on Stars and other galactic holes. Currently they are very interested in a Black Hole they found near their home system. Apart from that they do research in weapon- and shield technology. Another big part of the research is the study of recent and extinct species of alien planets.

Weaponary
The Troodontids mainly have laser cannons, rocket launchers , machine guns , blasters , ion cannons and plasma pulses. Those weapons are useful against unprotected/ weakly shielded spaceships and cities as well as ground units. But none of them are weapons of mass destruction. Such a weapin was once built and used on an uninhabited moon. It was a star bomb, that used the explosion of one of the artifical stars. The power of the bomb was great, but instable and uncontrolable. Because of that the weapon was banished from the arsenal of the Troodontid Empire. Newer and better weapons of the same types as the Troodontid`s have been donated by the Drakodominatus Tyranny

Shields
Troodontid Shields are plasma shields aound spaceships and cities. They protect them from most weapons, but they heat when beeing shot at and will become permeable after some time. Apart from that they need massive energy to be kept up. For that purpose the artifical stars were put into all spaceships of the Troodontid Empire. Currently there are different types of shields:

Shieldsystem 1.0
The first shielding system were added to the earlier ships. They are quite effective and don`t need much energy, but they can only protect a ship smaller than one kilometre. The only problem is that they lose consistency over time even if they aren`t shot at.

Shieldsystem 2.0
The second type is the most commonl used type of shield system within the Troodontid Empire`s spaceships. It can protect ships up to 2 kilometres. They heat slowly, but need a massive amount of energy.

Shieldsystem 3.0
The newest shield system can protect a ship or city of any size and only need a rather small amount of energy. Apart from that they can only keep away fast or big units, but not slow and small ones. That means that slow ( less than 100 km/h ) units can easily get through the shield systems. Because of the low energy need of the shields, most cities and ships with 3.0 systems constantly put up their shields.

Cloating Systems
Cloating systems make a spaceship completly invisible for both eyes and radar. The problem is that sometimes pieces of the vapor trails are still visible and show where the spaceship is. Another problem of the type 1.0 cloating systems is that they can be still seen by body heat sensors.

Energy Technology
The energy was once completely gotten from solar plants all around the planet, but in modern days the energy is gotten from artifical stars. Both Troodontids and Sinornitholea don`t know any other type of energy production.

Computer and Robot technology
While Troodontid`s computers are very advanced, the robot technology is not. Robots have already been build, but there is no big interest in them yet. After they go more asdvanced robot technology from the Drakodominatus Tyranny, they started to build a big droid army, but only few things like weaponary and armory were taken from the Robots of the Drakodominatus.

Transportation Technology
Big parts of the transportation are based on gliders and repulsor drives. There are still walkers and wheeled vehicles, but they are hardly ever used. All air vehicles are using repulsor drives. Wings are still for stabilisation with bigger aircrafts. They created first teleporters during the llate phase of the Great War, but most of it was forgotten during the long time between this time and now. Only more recent researches aim for this technology.
