Fiction:Lesser Wental Alliance/Military

General Overview
Each member of the LWA has it’s own private military, but they also fund and man a greater military, called the Defenders of Freedom, or DF. The DF is a powerful and mixed group of warriors, soldiers, and commanders from the various members of the LWA.

Ships

 * Salchum Battleship- The Salchum Battleship is one of the most complex and strange looking of the LWA ships. They are massive, and have a set of rings that spin in opposite directions (inner ring clockwise, next ring counter, and so on), using smaller ships that bud off the main ship to get from place to place. This is practically a battlestation, but able to move on it’s own.
 * Zardalu Squidship- Zardalu Squidships are built after their younger forms, with a thin body, long tentacles on the base, and exceptional melee attacks. They latch onto an enemy ship and use a bore where the beak would be to rip through the ship and expose it to vacuum. Then they go on to tear the ship apart with the tentacles. Some tentacles may have weapons attached to them, most simply have graspers and suction cups.
 * DNA Warship- DNA Warships are massive, long range, high endurance, low speed ships. They cannot dodge, cannot go overly fast, and cannot retreat well. They simply blow their way through an enemy ship with the massive ram on the front, or shoot you from a safe (retreat able) distance. They aren’t good against tiny ships, as they cannot avoid damage from them.
 * Nikkin Ice Fist- The Nikkin Ice Fist is a powerful vessel that can destroy most ships it encounters, but has minimal speed, agility, and rear firepower. They are used in whats called a “Nikkin Blizzard”, basically they line up in vast rows and have the ones in front shoot, then spin and retreat while the next row covers them for the next attack.
 * Nobi Star Cruiser- Nobi Star Cruisers are powerful, enduring ships. They don’t take damage easily and can be used as targets to hold a line until a retreat is finished or reinforcements arrive.
 * DF Battleship- A simple ship with weapons and endurance, but lacking speed.
 * DF Warsloop- A fast, powerful ship that is usually taken from civilians and upgraded with weapons and shields.
 * DF Fighters- Fighters and small, about 20ft long, and used against ships by shooting out weapons ports and engines.
 * DF Carrach- The Carrach is a simple, speedy ship with minimal endurance and weapons. Used as a scoutship or for hit-n-run missions.
 * DF Battle Station- Immobile on their own, Battle Stations have truly immense firepower and destructive force. Some can even demolish planets through bombardment alone, but most stick with destroying ships.
 * DF Warmonger- The Warmonger is a mish-mash of various parts and pieces of all the other ships in the LWA fleets. The DF basically took the best from all of them and created a Frankenstein creation of destructive fury and amazing speed. Fast as a Warsloop, powerful as a Star Cruiser, with melee weapons from Squidships and long range weapons from Warships, these are by far the strongest of the LWA ships. They do, however, lack agility and subtlety, being large, obvious, and clumsy.
 * DF Scoutship- Small, fast, but with almost no weapons, these ships can be used as scouts to see what the enemy is up to. They are also very effective at “Swarming” enemies. This is when you get hundreds or thousands of them and create a vast, unyielding swarm of these ships, which act like a school of fish, making it hard to target any 1 ship from the swarm. They can be used to annihilate enemy ships in this manner.

Army

 * Driver- Drivers drive the various vehicles of the Army. They drive tanks, jeeps, boats, and similar vehicles.
 * Soldiers- Soldiers are the backbone of the army, they do most of the real fighting. Armed with simple guns and lasers, they usually defend planets, not taking them.
 * Falcon Warriors- Are fast, speedy, and generally use mechanical means to fly. They shoot from above and avoid ships with ease.
 * Salchum Soldiers- are able to do almost anything you need them too. They are very adaptable.
