Fiction:Varslan/Stellar Operations Service

Overview

Organization

The Persan are rather unconventional in terms of warfare. Their army is a legion of mech pilots known as Immortals numbers a grand total of a hundred thousand in (no more no less in peace time). These mecha are attended to by their own legion of offensive and defensive support drones that follow the Immortal's and the mech AI's command as well as acting on their own far simpler AIs. Command structure among the Immortals is pretty simple with Adeptus Major Zelator overseeing and commanding a number of their fellow Immortals. An Adeptus Zelator Major Grade A commands ten Immortals, an Adeptus Zelator Major Grade B commanding hundreds of Immortals, an Adeptus Zelator Major Grade Y commanding hundreds of Immortals, the Adeptus Zelator Major Grade G overseeing tens of thousands of immortals, and the Adeprus Zealtor Major Grade D the entirety of the Immortal Legion.

Weapons

Kinetic

The vast majority of weapons employed by the UPD are kinetic in nature. These guns rely on electromagnetic rails to propel caseless ammunition. They come in a variety of infantry guns (such as pistols, shotguns, and rifles) and artillery guns (such mortars and howitzers), as well as more unconventional forms such a bows using electromagnetic strings to propel heavy arrows. These guns can be armed on small hover drones which can be deployed as part of a Nexus Defense or Nexus Offense System.

Explosive

The UPD employs a number of explosive weapons in the forms of rockets and missiles, non-guided and guided respectively. Ground based versions of these weapons employ conventional explosives while those used in space combat employ nuclear and anti-matter explosives depending on whether they are use for real space or hyperspace combat respectively. Mecha with special gears can carry nuclear and anti-material missiles on external hard-points (only being able to carry conventional explosives internally) but must deploy all of them before transforming into ground mode (if using anti-matter).

Energy

Energy weapons are primarily employed in the form of melee weapons called progressive knives which are technically a cross between kinetic and energy weapon. They are classified as energy weapons because the use high frequency vibrations to greatly increase their cutting power. Plasma weapons also exist employing gauss to propel bolts or beams of plasma to incinerate targets. plasma weapons come with a nearly inexhaustible supply of ammunition (hydrogen gas) but can overheat if fired for too long.
