Fiction:United Persan Descendants/Stellar Operations Service

"We brake for nobody."

- SOS's motto

Overview
The Stellar Operations Service is the navy of the UPD is a powerful force in their military and one of their primary means of attack. It is usually sent in first when attacking to carry out orbital bombardment before ground troops are deployed to carry out a more refined and selective attack. All UPD ships are bio-mechanical and thus regeneration through natural healing and repair nanos. All ships as come with a A.I. System and Neural Interface that the either crew hooks up to, allowing them to communicate directly with the ship and each other. The only exception are the strikecraft drones which have no pilots and are controlled remotely through the ship's they were deployed from A.I.

Strategy and Tactics
While the UPD is at a somewhat quantitative disadvantage they excel when it comes to staying qualitatively superior. Persan ships are fast and agile with powerful weaponry though a little light on the defense. However Persan craft tend to be very well rounded and able to readily adapt to situations outside what they were originally intended for giving them great flexibility. Persa prefers to make use of Maneuver Warfare using shock and disruption to incapacitate enemy decision making. Targeting command and control centers, logistic bases, supply lines, fire support assets, etc. As a result the UPD heavily emphasis being self sufficient with ships that naturally regenerate and can supply their crews for months on their own. These ships also have a wide range of special abilities that help weaken the enemy a strengthen their own forces allowing for "dirty fighting". Infiltration with stealth ships is also common to sow chaos behind enemy lines in order to make weaknesses more abundant and easier to exploit. Surprise attacks and leading enemies into traps or ambushes is also common. In essence the UPD seeks to permanently cripple rather then destroy the enemy.

Command is decentralized with lower level unit leaders given greater tactical freedom so they can adapt to the situation while staying within the higher levels over all vision. Unit leaders are generally given a goal and time frame to complete their goal, how this is accomplished is largely up to them and the situation. This gives the UPD great spontaneity and unpredictability, it also means that they are very selective of the unit leaders who must be competent and well trained with incompetence being severally punished.

Orbital Installations
Missile Defense Platform= Used as an orbital defense system these platforms are armed 20 Phasing Magic Missile Launchers to annihilate incoming enemy forces with force and precision. The platform also carries nanobot projectors that deliver nanobots that inhibit any self repair systems or functions of ships damaged by the missiles.
 * Use - Orbital Defense

Ship Hangar= Used for the construction, storage, repair, and launching of ships from orbit. They can also defend themselves with a point defense system and their own personal defense drones. It can also activate an Accel Sink that opens an Accel Space distortion that ships can hide in or be trapped in if they are enemy ships. It also projects nanobots that assist in repairing nearby ally ships.
 * Use - Ship Construction, Storage, Repair, and Launching

Momentum Inhibitor= Used for further orbital defense support and assist these structures generating an inertia canceling field that it projects at enemy ships slowing them to make the easier targets. It even slows enemy projectiles and missiles though not as much. It can also slow jumps to FTL.
 * Use - Inhibiting Ship Movement

Jammer Array= Orbital nanobot projectors that stream nanos into enemy ships causing their defense and weapons systems to jam. Though not one hundred percent they do make firing weapons more difficult and less accurate as well as defenses more likely to fail.
 * Use - Jamming Enemy Ship Weapons

Accel Stabilizer= Accel Stabilizers are stable passages through Accel Space from one point in Real Space to another. All UPD colonies have their own personal Accel Stabilizer in order to provide quick and sudden back up and retreat.
 * Use - Instant Transport Gate

Subverter Cannon= Massive orbital cannons designed for pre-invasion attack. These massive cannons fire a missile that travels through Accel Space before dropping into the enemy planet's gravity well and generate a massive EMP to disable ships and defense system before creating an Accel Space distortion that speeds up the incoming UPD ships. These cannons are expensive and are generally just used for the invasion of important targets.
 * Use - Super Weapon

Star Base
Pandora-Class Star Base=
 * Size - 30,000 by 30,000 Meters

 * Defenses - Astral Armor, Effectuater
 * Special Abilities - Psionic Disrupter, Graviton Vortex, Canopy Shielding, Accel Leap, FTL Disabling

Space Monsters
Creatures that naturally evolved to live in the upper levels of Accel Space, the Space Monsters(or Keokari in Persan) were discovered by the Vanara and are the source of the Asterdermis the Persan use to power their ships, structures, and devices. While originally the Keokari were hunted for their Asterdermis a more symbiotic relationship was formed during the early days of the Old Vanara Empire. Now the Keokari use the gravity wells of Persan planets as safe havens for nesting and raising young, and the Persan have declared them a protected species and guard them fiercely. The Keokari in turn leave behind their vomit, dung, and drag their dead into Persan gravity wells so they can harvest the Asterdermis easily.

As the Keokari spread and reproduced they could often be seen fallowing Persan ships on conquests and helping them out in times of war. While they dwell in Accel Space they can breach into real space and one breed (Sukari) can breach into Hyperspace to drag down enemies so they can eat them. The Keokari are large, green and black skinned beasts who, while fallowing and protecting Persan ships and ignoring their allies, will readily eat any other ship they find in Persan territory or run across when fallowing the ships they imprinted on, attacking Persan ships drives them in especially incessant rage. Despite popular belief the Persan really have no control over the Keokari, the space monsters just seem to be very fond of them
