Fiction:Delpha Coalition of Planets/Technology



The Delpha Coalition of Planets are one of the most advanced and powerful civilizations in the universe (Type IV on the Kardeshev Scale). Recently, the DCP has aquired the ability to manipulate spacetime, and the fabric of existence. Although the DCP is only a few hundred years old, due to the expansion of their domain over many species (and the discovery of generating exotic matter earlier than most other civilizations) has influenced their technological advancement greatly.

Notable technologies
Here is a description of their technology. As said before, most of the DCP's recent technology is exotic matter-based, an incredibly strange and exotic material, capable of manipulating the laws of reality.

Dimensional Shift Drive
See the main image on the top right of the page

This method of Faster Than Light travel is slightly different to warp, hyperspace or wormhole drives. Warp works by generating a "bubble" of spacetime that surrounds the starship (spacetime itself can go much faster than light). The starship never moves, but the "bubbble" does. Hyperspace involves flying a starship into a different dimension, and "skipping" the vast distances in normal space, while wormholes create a "short-cut", by bending regions of space together.

But this is not how a Dimensional shift drive works. Instead, it displaces the starship into a bubble of imaginary mass, which pushes it slightly out of sinc with the universe. The ship turns becomes something like a tachyonic particle (a faster than light particle which gathers mass over time), however, like a tachyon, the more mass the ship aquires, the faster it moves, much unlike normal objects! This drive, has alowed for intergalactic travel.

Extra-dimensional portals
These are portals created by twisting superstrings into a higher-dimensional brane. This creates a wormhole-like region for transporting starships into different universes, such as Universe 66501.

When the Nanohorde threatend the Grimbolsaurian Homeworld Mirenton, by creating a Dyson Sphere around its star Chilius, blocking out the light, The DCP moved Mirenton to the Lucara system using this technology. Of course, this is only temporary, once the Dyson Sphere is consumed by an artificial black hole, Mirenton will be moved back.

Black Light and the Chains of Light craft
These are strange ships that are partly composed of spacetime and exotic matter. Almost indestructable, these craft exist inside the Extra-dimensional portals, holding open the portal. Many of these ships are disconnected, but are held together by strong electromagnetic fields using superconductors.

Weapons
Many of the The DCP's members are warriors, and although the DCP are usually peaceful, against threats like the Xhodocto and the Grox, the DCP will utilise its weapons capable of extreme destruction.

Star killers and black hole-generators
An option only available to higher mass stars, star killer's de-stabalise a stars core by adding unstable and exotic, sub-atmomic particles that introduce enough mass to collapse a star's core into a singularity, effectively causing a supernova, which destroy's the entire system!

Dimensional erasers or quantum evaporaters
Such weapons can erase a colony from existence, by creaing a false vacuum bubble by exposing a superstring to a brane (in simple terms, creating an expanding bubble of destruction).

Planet Buster
Destroys an entire planet!

Nano-burst
A cloud of microscopic, self-replicating machines that devour all life on a planets surface, turning it into black ooze. Other purposes include terraforming planets to make them more habitable, cleaning waste and recycling materials for industry. They unfortunately evolved into the The Nanohorde.

anti-matter weapons
A 100% efficient weapon that using anti-matter, obliterates any normal matter which comes in contact.

Cloaked star systems
The DCP has created a space-nullifying defenses system that creates and invisible region of space and can be placed around an entire starsystem (or planet or colony). This opaque region of space works in the long run, After a year, its light shadow would take one lightyear and so on. This does not stop and invasion, but instead confuses a starship's navigational charts, and the DCP ships will then pounce on the confused enemy like a pack of wolves.

Other technology

 * Monolith - Due to the expansive gap of knowledge, these are the only way to communicare with less advanced civilizations.
 * Staff of Life - Not officially created by the DCP, but this seeds life throughout the cosmos.
 * Space elevators - Starships are assembled in space, and the materials are dragged up in a cost effective way using climbers on a carbon-nanofiber composite.
 * Holographic ships - Holoships are used to trick the enemy.

Traded technology
These are technologies given to the DCP by allies.

A-48X7 Satellite Beam Cannon
This was created by the Xhodocto!

After the DCP-Xhodocto truce, the two powerful empires began to trade technologies. The Xhodocto have entered "The Year of The Rising Sun", and have become more peaceful. It is a satellite weapon, which has a cloaking device and powerful deflector shield. The blast radius of its beam weapon is 23ft. The beam travels at 40km a second, and can hit targets in less than 5 seconds. A maxiumum of 7 can orbit a planet (but any more would disrupt each others computer systems.) It orbits a planet 200km above its surface, so it is still within its atmosphere.

The Xhodocto have also given three upgraded cannons for free, however future ones must be bought.
