Fiction:Troodontid Empire

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

Main
Since early times there was domestication among the Troodontids and Sinornitholea. The domesticated animals were frequently used for battles, although most of them are used as food sources. In modern times the domesticated creatures went nearly meaningless in fights with few exceptions.

Creatures
Batfly=

Batflys are very fast flyers. They behave like Earth`s falcons and are used for spying or stealing. In nature they live in pairs or small flocks and are feared by most small ground animals because of their quietness, speed and aggressiveness. In captivity they are faster ad even more quiet, but not as aggressive and prefer attacking alone.

Size: 50 centimeters wingspan

Brontotitan=

Brontotitan was one of the first animals to be domesticated by the Troodontids. The gigantic sauropods might be slow, but their sheer size makes them invulnerable to most weapons , even the fire of heavy laser cannons don`t harm them. They are mostly used for transporting the ground units. In wilderness they live in large herds in the southern part of Raptura.

Size: 58 meters length

Gacron=

Gacron (-Dragons ) are the top predators of Hecimmy. They were the first animals to be domesticated by the Sinornitholea. They are very intelligent and understand most speeches. Unlike other domesticated animals they only work together with the Sinorbnitholea for their own good. Because of the Sinornitholea they were able to spread all over the planet and to act unharmed. They are extremely powerful since they are huge, are able to fly and to breath fire. Apart from that there is a deadly club on the end of their tails. They are used as riding animals by the Sinornitholea. So far no Troodontid was allowed to ride a Garcon.

Size: 22 meters length

Predatron=

Predatrons ( also known as Nightstalkers ) were the arch enemies of the Troodontids. Those hyeana-like mammals only came out in the night and attacked the Troodontid villages. Some day the Troodontids found out how to domesticate them and ince then they are working together with them. All wild Predatrons which still meant a grave danger to the Troodontids were killed off. Nevertheless there are still stories of surviving wild Predatrons in the dense eastern forests of Raptura. The domesticated Predatrons are used as night watch and to hunt down invaders. They have a very good sense of smell and an even better hearing.

Size: 3,5 metres length

Runbird=

Runbirds are very fast birds. They are nearly everywhere on Hecimmy. They use their long tails to keep balance during running with over 100 kilometers per hour. They were domesticated as riding animals by the Sinornitholea. Because of their speed they are able to outrun most vehicles and sidestep shots.

Size: 2,8 meters height

Treeclimbers=

The Treeclimbers from Raptura are smaller distant relatives of the Predatrons. They are more cat like and are very good climbers. The wild form spends most of its time in the trees, while the domesticated Treeclimbers are more land-related. Nevertheless they are known to climb houses and towers in urban regions frequently. Their bite is slightly poisonous and makes the bitten creature unable to see straight, concentrate and makes them halucinate after some time.

Size: 2,1 metres

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 Androids. 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 strategies 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 Androids of the Troodontids. Their armor 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 Androids. 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 armies.

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 Androids don`t hit. They have a stronger armor and bigger firepower than both Assault Battle Androids and Battle Androids. Although they are useful on the front line, 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 Androids=

Guard Battle Androids are a type of elite battle Androids. They are far more independent than other battle Androids. 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 armor is quite weak although they are able to take two or three shots from most weapons.

Rocket Battle Androids=

Rocket Battle Androids were the first jet pack Androids to be built by the Troodontids. They are quite fast and well armored 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 Androids=

Air Battle Androids are a mix between Rocket Battle Androids and Heavy Rocket Battle Androids. Although their armor is stronger than that of the usual Rocket Battle Androids, it isn`t as strong as the one of Heavy one. In return they are faster than the Heavy Rocket Battle Androids. Their weaponry 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 Androids=

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

Heavy Battle Androids=

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

Heavy Rocket Battle Androids=

Heavy Rocket Battle Androids are the aerial version of the Heavy Battle Androids. Apart from the shields and the jet pack 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 Androids. They are very slow, but have enormous fire power. That makes them especially useful against vehicles and buildings. They are very rare, but are highly effective.

Crawler Androids=

Crawler Androids are highly effective Vehicle Androids. They are able to fire lasers much faster than other Androids, but are quite slow. They are used in every terrain since they are able to climb, jump and dive without problems. They are heavily armored and their sensors are the only vulnerable point visible.

Tank Androids=

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

Hailfire Androids=

Hailfire Androids are the most feared battle Androids 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 Androids very fast and their amour allows them to take several hits, even from missiles.

Spider Androids=

Spider Androids are small, mobile laser turrets. They are quite slow, but have a good armor 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 Androids=

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

Shield Androids=

Shield Androids are a special version of the Quadro Androids. They are walking shields and about twice as big as the normal Quadro Droids. Their shields are used to protect the attacking army until thy have reached their targets. They also have a bigger fire power than the usual Quadro Androids, but lack of missiles.

Aerial Androids
Android Starfighters=

Android 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 precisely.

Android Bombers=

Android 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 star fighters away. Normally they are guarded by several Android Star fighters during an attack. Because of the similar appearance it is nearly impossible to find out which one is the bomber before it is too late.

Android Attackers=

Android Attackers take the same slot as the normal Attackers in the Troodontid`s army. They are very strong, powerful and deadly star fighters that are used in both space fights and ground battles. 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 Star fighters are an elite type of the Android Attackers. Also know as predators they are build to destroy much bigger space shipss, defense systems and troops without help from bigger spaceships. They are very fast, protected by a shield and hidden by a coating system.

Starbombers=

Star bombers are fast, strong and dangerous bombers. Their fire power isn't as big as the one of the Android Bombers, but they are even faster than them and because of their build able to fly even more difficult maneuvers.

Android Gunship=

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

Android Boarding Ships=

Android Boarding Ships are very 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 Android into the spaceships interior.

Android Missile=

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

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 joined the military. Since all have to be veteran soldiers of the Empire, so far, 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 armor, they mainly relay on their speed and the destructive power of their weapons. Every soldier was a foot soldier once.

Scouts=

Scouts search for enemy`s bases and drive vehicles. They are trained to act both in groups and alone. Their weapons range from plasma weapons to explosives.

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 enemies` lines. From that position they can surprise the enemies and kill many of them before flying out of reach again. So far, only Archaeodon and some Troodontids are Gliders.

Snipers=

Snipers are trained to be masters of camouflage and act alone. In battles they normally stay in the background and somewhere out of reach of the enemies` soldiers and try to destroy the enemies`vehicles. So far, only Archaeodon and some Sinornitholea are Snipers.

Samurai=

Samurai's have mastered various marital arts, and prefer melee above ranged. They wear armor to protect them, and are usually found on the front lines. They work in pairs. So far, only Troodontids and some Sinornitholea are Samurai.

Beastmaster=

Beastmasters can are trained in various essences, mostly Mana Energy. Their special abilities are Beastmaster and Summon Flock, with they use to make swarms of flesh-eating insects attack their enemies. They are mostly encountered with a Predatron or Tree Climber, but also with various other animals. Only Archaeodons can become Beastmasters, because only they have enough essence ability.

Ninja=

Ninjas are used to assassinate specific targets, even in crowded areas. They strike from the shadows, kill their targets, and leave before someone notices them. Nobody really knows how these agile and dangerous assassins are trained, but it is known only Troodontids are trained for that fighting style.

Defenders=

Defenders wear heavy traditional armor. They are used to defend important bases, cities and planets. They can take tons of damage before finally falling. Only Sinornitholea are trained to become Defenders.

Destroyers=

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

Military Vehicles
Spy=

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

Size: 3 meters

Attacker=

Attackers are the most powerful air crafts of the Troodontid Empire. They have a huge firepower and a good armor, 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 modifications of them are built to destroy the cities of the enemies quickly. In return they have less armor.

Size: 22 meters

Dropship=

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

Size: 203 meters

Interceptor=

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

Size: 8,8 meters

Sea Serpent=

Sea serpents are submarine. It is very fast and has a powerful machine gun, but it has only weak armor. 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 enemies.

Size: 12 meters

Undersea Destroyer=

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

Size: 43 meters

Dropship=

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

Size: 158 meters

Gunship=

Gunships are the ships with the most destructive power. They are armored with several missiles and torpedoes and can attack both land and water units as well as units that fly above them. All missiles and torpedoes are target searching and can be navigated from the ship.

Size: 38 meters

Devastator=

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

Size: 12 meters

Powertank=

Powertanks are very powerful and fast repulsor-tanks. They are difficult 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 meters

Roadrunner=

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

Size: 6 meters

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 senate`s member are elected every three years by all citizens entitled to vote ( adult non-criminals ). After that the Senate`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 watch 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 Archaeodon are ecologist, but still have a scientistific side. They are peaceful, and mostly want to be left in harmony with nature. They are glad to be allies with others, but sometimes act before thinking. They do the terraforming and genetic research. The Sinornitholeas are scientists, too, but with a mix 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.

Weaponry
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 weapon was once built and used on an uninhabited moon. It was a star bomb, that used the explosion of one of the artificial stars. The power of the bomb was great, but unstable and uncontrollable. 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 around spaceships and cities. They protect them from most weapons, but they heat when being shot at and will become permeable after some time. Apart from that they need massive energy to be kept up. For that purpose the artificial stars were put into all spaceships of the Troodontid Empire. Currently there are different types of shields:

Shield system 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 kilometer. The only problem is that they lose consistency over time even if they aren`t shot at.

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

Shield system 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.

Cloaking Systems
Cloaking systems make a spaceship completely 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 cloaking 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 artificial 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 Android 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.
