Fiction:Kioskstrum Collective/Military

The military of the Collective is rather... unusual. The government isn't allowed to have a standing military force, so all military ships are privately funded by corporations or work as mercenaries for the highest bidder. The government can, in the case of potential destruction from an outside foe, request the aid of corporations in return for money, or demand their aid if the situation reaches a near-destruction point. However, most corporations are willing to work for the government for minimal prices when the Collective is attacked, due mainly to the fact that they do not want to be destroyed if the Collective falls.

Since each Corportaion want their ships to be noticed, there are many different designs for the fleets they employ. There are the utilitarian ships that have a no-nonsense, balls to the walls feel about them; and there are the glittery glossy peppy ships that make you want to puke when you see them. Each Corporation has it's own logos and often their own weapons specialty as well (like ranged, close combat, kinetic, energy, and even suicide). In the Collective, war really is just good business.

Paloin's Products
Paloin's Products is the largest Corporation in the Collective, with branches in almost every single industry in the Collective. So naturally, they have a fleet. Their fleet is more utilitarian then most, but still has a few fancy wings, and engines that give off shaped exhaust. They are also painted in the Red, Blue, and Green of the Paloin Products Logo, often with the logo on the wings or hull of the vessel. Their fleet is one of the largest, but not the largest.

>Will post pictures of ships when I am able to find a copy of Spore and make them...

Haru Corp
Haru Corp is a specialty Corporation that specializes in war. They have the largest, most advanced, and easily most powerful fleet in the entire Collective. Their ships range in size from tiny, three man fighters, to massive semi-mobile space stations capable of houses entire fleets of warships and the like. Their ships are all built with a smooth, flowing structure that makes them almost look like water trapped in the form they have. Their ships are each built to serve a special purpose, and their fleet is what all other Corporations want to build a fleet like.
