Athena-class

## Athena-class Frigate

The ***Athena*-class** is a class of light frigates formerly in service with Trinova Technologies and designed by Mr Targareyan.

## Description

The *Athena* is a medium-sized vessel with a small hammer-head front hull and a wide and comparatively voluminous aft hull that holds the ship's three powerful sublight thrusters. It has about average shielding for it's size, however it's plasma cannons are a little more powerful than other vessels of it's size. It also has a pair of light, long-ranged ion beams for quickly taking down corvette shields. The *Athena* also features two small, externally-mounted batteries for additional power.

## History

The design has been around at least since the early DFN (Debrisian Federal Navy) era, where it was used by Flying Debris' fledgeling faction for some time before the hull was apparently forgotten.

Jake Lancia then spotted an abandoned *Athena* MkIII hull in the NFD Galaxies in early March 2316. He liked it's design so much, he began refitting it. The refit was completed two days later, and it officially joined the Trinova fleet the next day.

The vessel has officially been decommissioned.

## Usage

The *Athena*-class has, in addition to it's standard role as light frigate, been used in the following roles:

* Fleet support
* AI Drone
* Assault
Factory Systems

A Basic Factory

**Factory Systems** are the most advanced and cost effective way of mass producing goods in the 23rd century.Utilizing energy to function,the fabrication module can rapidly assemble three-dimensional objects from common, reusable industrial plastics, crystal composites, and light alloys. This allows for mass production of most standard items, as well as the reuse of salvaged materials.

## Usage

Units are divided into pre-made **BPOS [Blue Print Operational System]**, each loaded with blueprints for different tasks.

**Basic Units** are issued with civillian grade technology, able to mass produce basic ship hulls, paints and everything necessary to quick start a colony or a space station.

**Standard Units** are the most commonly used by everyone, able to produce more complex materials such as ingots,hull hardeners, basic weapon systems and things of the sort.

**Advanced Units** are most used by the military to produce Military Specification equipments such as shield capacitors, heavy armor and eletronics required by warships.

## Origins

The production technology currently used in factory systems began in the early 21st Century with the development of 3D printing technology. Far too primitve to produce advanced equipment, it was a pioneer technology that was necessary to make colonization efforts easier for colonists to produce small station parts on site with available materials.

This technology began to see steady progress as the centuries passed, with more complex but bulky production modules being created.

## Today

All of this changed with the invention of the Standard Production Unit, or SPU. Deployed as early as 2312, this new fabrication unit uses the same principles of the Salvager to assemble advanced parts such as ship cores, power reactors, thrusters and even hull using atomization and micro-facturing processes.

This allowed for bigger market competitivity, since everyone, from one man factions to big empiers were able to produce mass quantities of every known product.
TRV Tanto CV-2802

## TRV Tanto (Registry number CV-2802)

TRV Tanto docked to TRS Regulus. (Jan 2318)

Tanto's distinctive brown UIS logo.

The **TRV *Tanto*** (registry number **CV-2802**) is a *Warspite*-class Destroyer commanded by hamma1 and in service with Trident Foundries in the FRU Cluster.

## Description

The main distinguishing mark of this *Warspite*-class vessel is it's use of orange lighting and red striping, in addition of replacement of Trident logos with PKE ones. This makes the *Tanto* look strikingly different from other Trident *Warspites*. Hamma added these modifications after the New Years Eve raid to mark his ship as different from the other three *Warspite*-class vessels at TRS *Regulus*, which have also been customised to some extent.

The *Tanto* remains Hamma's personal vessel, and is also nicknamed the '*Uber of Trident*' due to Hamma using it often to ferry personnel to different places.

## History

### 2317

Jake Lancia constructed four *Warspite*-class vessels in the FRU cluster in November after receiving a substantial resource boost. The TRV *Tanto* was the third of these ships to be constructed, but was not immediately assigned a commanding officer.

The vessels were left docked to TRS *Regulus* for nearly two months, until the vessels were reactivated on the 31st December, in response to intelligence from Trident member hamma1 suggesting there was a large, undocked vessel floating near the hostile faction 'Guardians of the Galaxy's base. Lancia scrambled three Trident members and two RedEagle officers to seize the vessel, and it was recovered within an hour of the intel being received.

### 2318

On the 1st January, the *Tanto* received it's stripes and changes to personalise the vessel, at the same time that the other three vessels also underwent personalisation.

## Usage

The TRV *Tanto* has, in addition to its primary role as heavy destroyer, been used in the following roles:

* Boarding vessel
* Heavy Escort
Turret

A **Turret** is an automated weapon system, separate from the main ship, that is capable of tracking and firing on targets from multiple angles not covered by the main ship's fixed weapons.

## Description

Turrets are separate docked and pivoting weapon systems that allow starships to engage multiple targets or targets out of the range of the main guns. Many turrets are fitted with plasma cannon systems, but can have a wide variety of different systems to suit the needs of a particular starship.

## Usage

Turrets are completely universal, allowing any starship, military or civilian, to take advantage of their additional firepower and wider firing arc, some ships use turrets as their primary weapon because of its ability to fire at targets that are not directly infront of the ship.
TRV Adjudicator CV-2704

Adjudicator (second from left) awaits further orders during joint ops. (September 2317)

## Advanced Stats

### Cost

### Cargo Capacity

N/A

The **TRV *Adjudicator***, registry number **CV-2704** (new system) is an *Avenger*-class Frigate in service with Trident Foundries in the LvD Galaxies.

## History

### 2317

In mid-September, the *Adjudicator* was present during the successful raid on Novminer's base, piloted by Plaz, temporarily silencing the criminal elements.
Delta-class

## Delta-class Dropship

***Delta*-class Dropships** are a common sight around Trident Foundries planets and stations.

## Description

The *Delta*-class is a major modification of the Nova Fleet Dynamics *Aquarius*-class Dropship, which replaces the small fixed wings with large, folding wings that narrow the ship's profile when it is docked. In addition, the weapons have been removed, and replaced with an anti-gravity effect, allowing the ship to hover above a planet's surface.

## Usage

The *Delta*-class has, in addition to it's primary role as dropship, been used in the following roles:

* Shuttlecraft
* Planetary assault
* Personnel transfer
* Training vessel

Markon

**Markon** is a senior member of Trinova Technologies (being a former senior member of Nova Fleet Dynamics) and is a logistics expert, information broker and the Head of Finance of Trinova Technologies

## Description

Markon has played a significant role in the backstage faction politics at play in starmade, having signed over 30 pacts, organised an intelligence network of 40+ members, led 6 factions and played across 20 servers.

## History

Markon joined the Starmade community in late 2012. After starting up on local servers (now defunct) he founded the MMM Bros, which dominated the Gratz Server until it's deletion in 2014. In May 2014 Markon founded the Novgorod Republic of Intergalactic space across 3 servers. This was later re-named and re-formed to make the Great Novgorod Republic which was active in the Tethys Galaxy for many months under Markon's leadership participating in two Jovian wars and a series of minor conflicts.
Markon joined the Alliance Armada in October 2014. After finding serious faults with it's economic system, he resigned and joined 'New Remnant'. He was one of the leading members in 'New Remnant' and was acclaimed far and wide for his economic success in financing said faction. New Remnant came into conflict with Alliance Armada resulting in the destruction of 'The Academy' and the collapse of New Remnant. Soon after, Markon offered his services to the Calderon Republic, however Blackhawk, the leader of the AA at the time influenced the CR leadership in filing a dismissal. Soon after Markon applied and was accepted into the NFD, a superpower that was one of the 'suns around which starmade politics revolved' (quote). Markon signed up as an assistant recruiter to Captain\_Roscal. Within the period of a month Markon had proposed economical reform plans which were accepted and implemented in the NFD.
In december 2014 Markon was promoted to Head of Finance at NFD and Head of Recruitment at NFD. Between December 2014 and July 2015 Markon was the main financial drive behind NFD's conflicts and economically taxing projects.

Markon has gone by these names: Markon, Kniaz\_Markov, Marik.
Markon has held these positions outside NFD: High Councillor, Chancellor, President, Vice-President, Engineer, Agent, Corporal General, Diplomat, Master of Spying, Head of Intelligence, Head of Finance
Markon has held these positions inside NFD: Assistant Recruiter, Head of Finance, Head of Recruitment, Assistant Leader, Kniaz of Twilight Tower, Head of Intelligence
Markon has held these positions inside TNT: Head of Finance

Markon is recorded to having been a member of the following factions:
Markonian Builders, Markonian Alliance, Markonian Alliance&Vassalag, MMM Bros, Russian Brotherhood, Novgorod Republic of Intergalactic space, Great Novgorod Republic, Alliance Armada, New Remnant, Nova Fleet Dynamics
Eris-class

## Eris-class Experimental Destroyer

The Eris-class' unique shape and detailing inspired many Gen2 vessels.

The ***Eris*-class** is a class of advanced destroyers, previously in service with Trident Foundries.

## Description

The *Eris*-class is a vaguely wedge-shaped class of advanced destroyers. These vessels utilised the latest technological breakthroughs from the Trident Science Department and were also heavily armed with conventional weaponry, including plasma cannons and Ion cannons, and had excellent turret coverage with four plasma cannon turrets and four Ion cannon turrets. They were protected by a conventional 3-million terawatt deflector shield systems and heavy armour plating.

Further information concerning the experimental systems onboard Variant X is CLASSIFIED according to Trident Security Directive 301.

## History

### 2316

In early February, Mr Crazy began designing a new destroyer hull, which he called the *Eris*. The hull was later abandoned and left to drift.

In late June, Mr Crazy found, refurbished and completed the hull and handed it over to Jake Lancia for system fitting. He initially created a highly experimental system setup, which he nicknamed Variant X.

A month later, Jake revisited the ship again, and refit it with more conventional systems, and commissioned the class as destroyers. Variant X remained as a technology testbed.

In late September, the *Eris*-class vessel TRV *York* CV-2005 was involved in combined ops with Trinova Technologies' flagship TTS *Blue Ridge*.

### 2317

The first Trident warship constructed in the cleansed Elwyn Galaxies was the TRV *Charon* CV-2202 of the *Eris*-class, in early January.

Just after the *Charon* was completed the *Eris*-class was temporarily discontinued as work began on yet another refit to bring the *Eris*' external armour plating and main colour scheme in line with the rest of the fleet. This refit was completed in early February.

In early March a variant of the *Eris*, the *Enforcer*-class, was added to the fleet. The *Enforcer* is an up-armoured variant which has replaced the Eris in frontline roles.

### 2318

The *Eris*-class was phased out of the Trident fleet following a major review and shake-up of Trident ship classes in early January, and blueprints of the vessel are being sold via the StarMade Dock public marketplace.

## Usage

The *Eris*-class has, in addition to it's primary role as a destroyer, been used in the following roles:

* Command Ship
* Light Attack
* Technology testbed
Generation 3 Initiative (TRI)

## Generation 3 Initiative

Unofficial logo for the project.

The **Generation 3 Initiative** was the result of months of starship development work at the secretive Omega Colonies.

## Description

The Generation 3 Initiative was originally a document issued to Trident Foundries' many designers and shipyard companies, intending to create a fierce competition where only the best ships would prevail. Instead, several shipyards came together into a single large design teams and came up with one singular design.

## History

### 2317

In early March, Jake Lancia issued the preliminary document which outlined the requirements of the new Generation 3 frigate test ship; it was specified to be at least 10% smaller than the then-modern *Brawler*-class frigate, have equal or greater firepower, better manueverability, and use the latest technological developments. All of Trident's shipyards agreed to the design document, and began researching into possible hull shapes at the Omega V Starship Research Complex.

As the Aesthetican Crisis threatened to boil over into armed conflict in early April, Plaz rallied the design teams of every major Trident shipyard and subsidiary together to help design the new fleet together, partially disregarding the previous document, and submitting a new one. The hull was to be made of darkened Fertikeen-alloy armour plating in addition to glowing Insanium-laced sections in critical areas. The projected size of the vessel was approximately 15,000 standard mass units.

PlazWorks and Pegakitty Shipyards initially worked together on a somewhat less smooth frigate-sized hull that closely resembled a Generation 2 ship, but when Angel Works and Infinite FleetWorks took a more active interest in the project, they changed the hull to be a lot smoother, and darkened many aspects of the hull even further.

In mid-April, work was completed on prototype hull G3-XV-0333, unofficially nicknamed '*Avenger*' due to it's more militaristic role. Systems were fitted immediately, and the vessel began combat trials in the Cake Galaxies. The small vessel weighed in at just over 14,000 standard mass units. Test results against *Brawler*- and *Eris*-class vessels were better than expected, and after several refinements, the ship was moulded into what has now become the *Avenger*-class Frigate. It was decided that these new ships would supplant the current Generation 2 vessels for approximately a year before complete replacement of the fleet with Generation 3-derived vessels happens.
Deimos-class

## Deimos-class Light Frigate

TMS Deimos, initial variant. (2315)

The ***Deimos*-class** is a class of vertical EMP and inhibitor light frigates, formerly employed by the Thryn Monarchy.

## Description

The ***Deimos*-class** is a tall, thin vertical frigate. It features a massive EMP cannon, long range missiles, and dual rainbow turrets (of the same design as on the *Apollyon*-class). Its EMP cannon allows it to immobilize enemy vessels, and its inhibitor prevents enemies from jumping away, allowing allied vessels with destructive weaponry to easily dispatch them.

## History

After experimentation with EMP on the small scale, Thryn member Lecic scaled up the tests to produce a viable combat vessel using EMP. After the initial design was created, it was deployed for testing in the Ares Galaxies, where it proved effective, but having numerous major flaws in its lack of block destruction. A second version, with upgraded hull, shielding, and a variety of turrets of various types, was then developed. This version had increased success against hostiles in the Ares Galaxies.

The *Deimos-class* was also deployed to the Shattered Skies Galaxies, but has yet to be used.

## Usage

The *Deimos-class* has, in addition to its standard role as a light EMP frigate, been used in the following roles:

* Testbed
Battle over Rotterdam (GXN)

The **Battle over Rotterdam** was a pivotal moment in the history of the Thryn Monarchy and of the GenXNova Galaxies as a whole.

## Event

In early July 2315, everything was peaceful over the planet Rotterdam. That changed when two suspicious signatures were detected in the Rotterdam system. Thryn leader Azereiah dispatched an *Apollyon*-class frigate and a *Gagarin*-class destroyer to investigate. What they found was somewhat disturbing.

Two Cobalt Royalty ships were sitting in orbit over Rotterdam I, readying their weapons for orbital strike. The *Omen*-class heavy cruiser CRS *Tank*, captained by Aceface, was there, in addition to an unidentified stealth frigate, both ships ready for combat.

Azereiah and Lecic then got into contact with Jake Lancia and FloorMatt of Trident Industries, who had heard of the impending attacks from intercepted communications. Wary of the Odium ships' firepower, and unsure of the usefulness of Trident vessels of the time, they told Jake to stay put and not to proceed to the Rotterdam system.

Azereiah and Lecic immediately jumped to Aceface's last known coordinates and engaged them, keeping them in a fierce fight. The CRS *Tank*'s shields fell numerous times during this time, but there was no noticeable damage to the ship's systems yet, despite the armour being shredded by the *Gagarin*'s weapons. Lecic's *Gagarin* began losing point defence guns as his shields neared zero; it began to seem like the battle may not be winnable for them.

Suddenly two Trident *Brawler*-class frigates jumped in. FloorMatt in the TRV *Brawler* immediately engaged the stealth frigate, while Jake Lancia in TRV *Boxer* assaulted the *Tank*. The *Brawler*s' heavy plasma cannons punched several large holes through the *Tank*'s systems, clearing the way for the *Gagarin*'s own cannons to begin dealing more serious damage. The *Boxer* then switched target to the *Tank* as well, eventually forcing Aceface to activate his emergency jump drive and retreat. The stealth frigate then followed suit.

Several minutes later, an NFD-operated *Munich*-class pursued the *Tank* further into CR space and dealt further damage to its systems.*citation needed*

Bob (Hacker)

## "Bob" The Hacker

Bob is a notable PGG user who has hacked into the game to enable logging in, yet, they are very chill with how much they hack. Staying at a chill mood while firing 130 bottle rockets per 20 seconds isn't normal. They join random games with PVP on, to terrorize them. Bob doesn't have (guest) at the end of their name, at all times.

## Hacks That Were Enabled

Bob was able to disable kicking for himself, every weapon is modded to have infinite ammo, while most guns are set at 50ms between each shot. Though, for an odd reason, only 4 guns are set to 0ms between each shot. Many people have been making observations, and this is what we found:

* Shock Rifle - Set at 0ms
* Bottle Rockets - Set at 0ms
* Glock 17 - Set at 0ms
* Beretta - Set at 0ms

What we're saying is that, we'd expect **every** gun to be set at 0ms, because it's a hacker. But, Bob went easy on us.

## Notable Things

- Bob has the default skin on all the time

- They started appearing mid-february

- They're usually on the game mid-afternoon

- They join the rare player games 60% of the time

## Ending

If you see this player ANYWHERE in your game, leave and create another one immediately, with or without a password. They may be able to enter secured games soon.
Power 2.0

**Power 2.0** is the marketing of a radical new system of spacecraft components being marketed by the near-omnipresent manufacturing corporation Schemadyne.

## Description

Despite widespread public opposition throughout the Outlands, Schemadyne released the updated components because they viewed their older components as outdated. The new system is actively enforced by distributors like the Trading Guild, with the manufacturing and selling of Power 1.0 components banned in most major clusters and expressing distaste for the new components is strictly prohibited on all Schemadyne and Trading Guild communications networks. This policing only further enraged many of the Factions and individuals inhabiting the Outlands, causing them to abandon their works and search other multiverses, including the SkyWanderers multiverse, for resources and power. Of the Pre-2.0 factions, only MercDragon and Phantomhive maintain operations in the LvD cluster, however these are far more limited compared to their pre-update counterparts.

## How it works

Old power "Passives" were analogue in nature where each effect was paired with a potency based on power requirements & block counts. While there were fewer total passive effects, the options and versatility of each effect were much greater. This new modular technology is centered around the use of "Chambers", which are modules that can create many effects with the touch of a button, following a standard pattern. Unlike Passives, Chambers completely stop working if they are too small instead of working at a reduced capacity. They also rely on a new limiting factor called Reactor Points, as no ship in any configuration can support more than it's fixed capacity of effects.

There are 7 patterns; Logistics Chamber, Jumpdrive Chambers, Scanner Chambers, Stealth Chambers, Mass Chambers, Defensive Chambers, and Reactor Chambers.
Magnolia-class

## Magnolia-class Cruiser

TMS Magnolia testing it's experimental phase cannon array, 2316.

The ***Magnolia*-class** is a class of somewhat intimidating light cruisers designed by Azereiah and previously operated by the Thryn Monarchy.

## Description

The *Magnolia*-class has a vaguely flower-like appearance and several heavily armoured 'petals', hence it's name. It's primary weapon is a massive axial beam bank, while other weapons are scattered throughout the ship on turrets. It's design and intended role are very similar to Trinova Technologies' *Hidatsa*-class.

## Usage

The *Magnolia*-class has, in addition to it's standard role as light cruiser, been used in the following roles:

* Assault
* Fleet operations
* Artillery
* Drone carrier
* Captured *Magnolia*s were used by the Odium Pact as training targets for pilot training
The BRiDGE

The BRiDGE is an ongoing construction project started by the Pipe-God-Emperor jontyfreack of RedEagle, and has become one of the largest and most detailed structures built in the Cake galaxies.

The project started in the middle of 2316 and has been plauged by constant breaks from construction, sometimes as much as 4 months without any work being done. Despite the irregular work being done, the project has reached a size of over 2.3km in length, dwarfing even titans.

When finished the ship will not be a combat vessal, instead it will be essentially a mobile homebase and base of operations for fleets of large ships. Despite not being a combat vessal it will still be protected by a fleet of over 100 ships if fielded outside of the cake galaxies. The turret mounts are large enough to allow a  QUiT to fly through sideways.

The most prominant features are currently the 3 massive stained glass windows and the golden aquilla built on the bridge. The aquilla doubles as a scanner array.

The BRiDGE boasts a current point defence of 140 AMS turrets.
Squiggles

**Squiggles** is a member of the faction Trinova Technologies.

## Description

Squiggles is a low ranking engineer for Trinova Technologies, he has created very little for Trinova. He usually hangs out in the lounges and makes bad jokes, much to the distaste to other UIS officers. He is also the leader of his self proclaimed party, The Federal Union Party.

## UIS Career

Squiggles has been a member of the UIS since it's creation, however he has only become active as of May 2317. He is the leader of his political party called the Federal Union Party.

## Creations

Squiggles has made a small cargo vessel and a small claim station, his other projects are unfinished and his ideas for shipbuilding are radical in nature.

## Operations

Squiggles has helped on a minor raid mission on LvD galaxies, it was a success but he over-jumped two of his waypoints.
Gagarin-class

## Gagarin-class Destroyer

The ***Gagarin*-class** was a destroyer operated by the Thryn Monarchy.

## Description

Named after pioneering Old Earth Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, the *Gagarin*-class was a pioneer vessel that set the standard for future Thryn vessels. It has a vaguely naval appearance, and features powerful missile weaponry to keep enemies at bay. It's upgraded variant, the *Gagarin Firefly*, features further-enhanced systems in direct response to the Odium threat.

## Usage

* Captured Gagarin Firefly variants were used by Odium Pact as training targets for pilot training
Torik-class

## Torik-class Light Cruiser

The Torik-class Light Cruiser is a line ship designed to provide fire support and cover many kinds of mission profiles. Relying on automation and easy operation in mind, the expendable warship is designed to familiarise new recruits with the playstyle required of MercDragon's heavier cruisers.  Since it lacks much of the advanced technology and sheer force of size found on larger ships, it does not have much of a role in 1-on-1 PvP.  That said, it is useful in a number of support roles such as PvE, clearing drone fleets, and providing long range fire support in fleet operations.

## Development

The Torik was designed to be able to cover many kinds of mission profiles. The systems were developed by the Navy with redundancies and modular assets, as to quickly change the ship capacities at any given moment. The armor plating was also a bonus, granting the Torik a high level of survivability at some cost in speed.

The standard armaments were comprised of internal beam arrays and missiles, giving it a varied set of weapons for different ranges.

By 2317, the Torik received an update following a review by the Engineering Corp of its capabilities. The Torik MK2 was introduced with additional shield capacitors, three LREMTs (Long Range Energy Missile Turret) and a beam turret. The increased firepower also added extra load on his reactor arrays. Those were expanded by the use of Auxilliary Reactor banks. The avionics package was updated to increase sensor range and drives were optmized for long range travel.

The vessel was decomissioned following the universal "Power 2.0" update until further revision
Exodus-class

## Exodus-class Heavy Destroyer

Early Exodus variant. (Sep 2315)

The ***Exodus*-class** is a heavy destroyer designed by Jake Lancia and formerly operated by Trident Industries prior to the creation of Trinova Technologies.

## Description

The *Exodus* shares a roughly similar design aesthetic with other Jake-designed Trident vessels such as the *Vanguard* and *Gladius* and is well-armoured with multiple plates of heavy armour spread throughout the ship. In addition, the vessel is well-protected from energy missiles with over 70 TRT PD-X2 AMS turrets. The *Exodus* was conceived as Trident's answer to Nova Fleet Dynamics' *Munich*-class and features heavy turret weaponry as well as long range stopping power in the form of two powerful energy missiles. The vessel uses dual heavy plasma cannons as its main fixed weaponry.

## History

The vessel was conceived in mid-September 2315 and construction was completed of the prototype in October. The vessel received an early refit in early November which included turret and battery replacement, designed to better combat Trident's newer enemies.

The ship class was decommissioned at the end of December due to the merger and the vessel being unsuitable for Trident's missions, and blueprints of the class were distributed to the Dovan Empire, who now operate their own custom variant of it.

The class was ultimately decommissioned entirely at the end of 2315.

## Usage

The *Exodus* has, in addition to its standard role as assault destroyer, has been used in the following roles:

* Command vessel
* Fleet flagship
* DIplomatic vessel
* Area denial
* Fleet Support
The Tower of Vay

The Tower of Vay was a large heavily-defended station built by the Vaygr Empire to serve as the empire's home in the GenXNova Galaxies. The Tower has since been decommissioned, with The Citadel replacing it as Vaygr's capital city.

## Description

Due to the mass limitations which the GenXNova Galactic Council had put in place at the time (Ships were allowed 50,000 mass apiece, and stations up to 2,000,000 mass), The Vaygr constructed the Tower of Vay, which is believed to have pushed these limitations as far was deemed safe. The Tower housed over 136,429,000 residents, ranging from starship builders to soldiers and everything in between.

## Details

The only tourist attractions in the Tower of Vay itself were the large military fleet; comprised mostly of *Assailant*-class Cruisers; and the occasional military marches and drills that occurred at the shipyard. As photography is banned in Vaygr Empire for security reasons, no pictures other than the ones published by the Empire exist. The tourism industry at the Tower prided itself on the celestial wonders which surrounded the tower, such as the Red Star of Vay (the local sun) and the old battlefields scattered around the empire's space.

The Tower of Vay had very large industrial complexes, as well as the Vaygr Navy Drydock, where its fleet was docked ready for battle.
The Fuentes Kingdom

The Fuentes Kingdom is a small but powerful faction founded by eof, operating in the Light V Dark galaxy. The Fuentes Kingdom is a member of United Earth.

## Description

The Fuentes Kingdom is an absolute monarchy that builds ships for their prowess in battle, and cares little for aesthetics.

## Fleet

### Forrestal-Class Cruiser

The Forrestal-class Cruiser is the mainstay of the Fuentes fleet. This 70k mass medium cruiser is designed to be cheap to produce, while still packing a punch. Forrestal-class vessels are known to utilise docked armor plating.

### Montana-Class Battleship

At 300k standard mass units, the Montanna-class battleship is the largest, and most powerful vessel available to the Fuentes fleet. Like the smaller Forrestal-class, ships of the Montanna-class utilise docked armor plating.

==

History==

### The Begining

The Fuentes Kingdom started out as a small, somewhat nomadic, faction in the Light Vs. Dark Galaxy that would travel around in one ship visiting other factions. After being attacked numerous times by factions such as X Empire, VIRUS, and the Dovan Empire eof, the leader of the Fuentes Kingdom, decided that the faction would give up it's wandering ways to learn the ways of pvp.

### Later Developments

The Fuentes Kingdom had many adventures in the Light vs Dark and Brierie galaxies. For some time the Fuentes Kingdom joined the Dual Monarchy but eventually left this organization because of what the Fuentes Kingdom viewed as an ineffectual and improper leader in Lord Miraak. The Fuentes Kingdom later joined United Earth where it currently resides.
Buckunawa

The old workhorse

The Buckunawa-Class Miner was one of the oldest running designs in the MercDragon fleet. While it was smaller than what most factions would consider a "heavy" miner, the Buckunawa was optimized to be able to gather resources at least as fast as most equivalent heavy miners designed by other factions.

## Description

The Buckunawa features the same MilSpec salvaging technology and electronics package as the smaller Asterion Miner.  Various field tests have shown that it was able to strip mine an average of 100 to 150 asteroids per hour while still having enough defensive countermeasures to evade pirates and protect its often very valuable loads of cargo.

While MercDragon made several attempts to design newer and better mining ships, all of the intended successor classes were outperformed by this old workhorse up until the release of power 2.0 reactors.

This ship was officially replaced by the smaller Basilisk-class miner in January, 2318; however, a number of them still remain in service.
Ships manufactured by Vaygr Empire

## Decommissioned Vaygr Vessels

These vessels were previously used by the Vaygr, but have since been decommissioned and are no longer in active service.

Aesthetican Navy

## The Aesthetican Navy

The **Aesthetican Navy** was a small but influential faction led by Aesthetics and operating with a unique style. They are a founding member of the Union of Intergalactic States.

## Description

The Aesthetican Navy was the Navy of the unified planet of Aesthetica before its dissolve into Trident Foundries.

### Design Philosophy

The Aesthetican Navy is well known for its use of pink upon its warships. Being the only faction to do so, the unique style is a hallmark in Starmade history.

### 2317

In early March, Aesthetics secretly founded the Aesthetican Resistance, a nationalist paramilitary organization. When Jake Lancia found out about this, he immediately imposed strict sanctions on the Aesthetican population at large, which has angered the Aestheticans and their leadership, yet in doing so, gave the Resistance an actual cause. Tensions continued to rise even into April.
Seneschal-class Miner

The Merchant Marine pride and joy

## Seneshal-class Miner

Developed with the direct input of Admiral Nosajimiki for MercDragons logistic necessities, the Seneschal-class Miner was introduced as a sucessor of the Basilisk-Class. Equipped with state of the art "Chambers", the miner can utilize the subset technology known as "Logistic Chambers" to increase the yield of the resources being mined by using a set of sub-atomic filters working in conjunction with the newly re-introduced MilSpec Salvager Beams arrays.

Unlike the older Buckunawa-class, the new mining array is optimized to the multiversial polythread resonance frequency (MPRF)

### Public Use

After the astounding success of the vessel, it was requested by the Rebuilders of the LvD Galaxies to be made available as a mining vessel by both Light, Neutral and Dark forces as a way of helping the fledgeling populations and small factions to stabilish themselves.
Dawn Breaker - class

## Dawn Breaker

The Dawn Breaker-class cruiser was built in as Merc Dragon's first heavy warship following the January 20th 2018 incident that rendered Merc Dragon's remaining fleet obsolete.

## History

It first saw action in August 15th of 2318 when it was assigned a force recon mission against the nearby Darkside faction, Moose Herd. It began the sorte by destroying their colony in the Gamma System to try to draw out their leader, Little Moose. When that did not work, it assaulted their home system where it destroyed about 10k worth of drones before determining that Moose Herd lacked the military presence to be a significant threat.

## Famous Vessels

* The MDS-Genesis, the first of its class. Replaced the Light of Paphrin as the Merc Dragon flag ship on LvD.
Cobolt

## Description

Cobolt was one of the founding factions of Trident Industries. Trident Industries is now a part of Trinova Technologies.

## History

Cobolt was founded by Crazyf22raptor (aka Mr Crazy) on July 22nd, 2313, in the NASS Galaxies.

In February 2314, it was reformed into Trident Industries, alongside Jake Lancia's unknown faction, and a privateer named Hammy.
TRV Deliverance CV-2303

The **TRV *Deliverance*** (Trident registry number **CV-2303**) was the first *Deliverance Brawler* to be constructed by Trident Foundries in the LCB Galaxies.

## Description

The TRV *Deliverance* was the first of the *Deliverance Brawler*s to be constructed and was immediately put in Jake Lancia's service. As such it has had a few field modifications including a scanning device.

Resembling all other *Deliverance*-types, the TRV *Deliverance* had it's main turrets mounted on the sides of the vessel, in stark contrast to standard model *Brawler*s which have their turrets top-mounted. The teal section on a standard *Brawler* which was directly adjacent to the massive plasma cannon was instead coloured blue to further differentiate the *Deliverance*-type from the standard-model *Brawler*s.

## History

In early March 2317, Trident had begun moving into the LCB Galaxies in preparation for a potential war, triggered by Formiden Colonial Mandate's threatening military rearmament that was happening at the time. For this potential war, Trident needed a large number of small, fast ships to serve as the vanguard of the fleet. Jake elected to try the new *Deliverance*-type ships, and so several were hurriedly constructed alongside two standard-variant *Brawler*s. One of the ships constructed was the refit prototype, TRV *Deliverance*, alongside the standard *Brawler*, TRV *Advent*.

The *Deliverance*, like all other Trident ships in the LCB Galaxies, was presumed destroyed when the dimensional rift leading to the cluster collapsed.

## Usage

The TRV *Deliverance* has, in addition to its role as a medium frigate, been used in the following roles:

* Defence
* Scout
Mammoth-class Bulk Freighter

This article contains potential or actual spoilers about an upcoming project. You have been warned!

## Mammoth-class

A basic-model Mammoth without turrets, circa 2310.

## Advanced Stats

### Embarked Craft

Several cargo shuttles, escort fighters (between 2-60 depending on fighter type)

### Cargo Capacity

Several million Mass Units, multiple small craft and/or starship components

The ***Mammoth*-class** is a class of bulk freighter that has existed for many years and is commonly seen used by large companies and conglomerates.

## Description

The *Mammoth*-class, introduced to the multiverse in 2276, is a massive bulk freighter capable of holding many Universal Cargo Crates and many million Mass Units of additional cargo. These ships have huge cargo bays and several smaller hangar bays for cargo shuttles and escort fighters.

*Mammoths* employ a dual pronged design rather than a solid single hull. This is mainly due to the need for the lower cargo bay to be separated from the crew section, which occupies the top prong, as well as making enough space for a hangar bay in the centre section which is freed up by the pronged design.

*Mammoths* were decently defended against external threats, with nearly a million terawatts of shielding capacity, heavy external armour and multiple small turrets of various types scattered around the hull. Most *Mammoths* also included a single medium yield plasma cannon up front.

Some older military forces have modified variants of the *Mammoth* to be colossal carrier vessels capable of holding hundreds of small interceptors.

## History

### 2276

The *Mammoth*-class was originally created and marketed in 2276 by the Mammoth Corp. Marketed as an all-in-one alternative to the smaller freighters that existed at the time, the *Mammoth* was released to critical acclaim by shipping firms and hailed as the future of intergalactic shipping.

### 2317

By 2317, almost every major and minor shipping firm and industrial conglomerate owned and operated a *Mammoth*. They were fairly common on the major spacelanes between busy stations and highly populated planets. In terms of popularity, it was only beaten by the far smaller and cheaper SkyCorp freighters.

## Behind the Scenes

The *Mammoth*-class was created by Jake\_Lancia for the 2017 series *Concord's End*, for use as a background ship and an interior set. It was based on a blueprint of the *Star Wars Legends* ship, the *Aggressor*-class Destroyer.

Lancia wanted the *Mammoth* to feel truly massive, so he requested crazyf22raptor to add a cavernous cargo bay in the lower prong.
Dauntless II-class

## Dauntless-class Blockade Runner

The ***Dauntless II*** is a class of fast, light cargo ship, formerly operated by Trident Foundries and designed by Mr Crazy.

## Description

The *Dauntless II* is a small cargo vessel that uses every available ounce of space for storage of assorted cargo and for a single large jump drive that enables the vessel to break past enemy blockades with ease, hence the name.

## Usage

The *Dauntless II* has, in addition to its standard role as light cargo ship, been used in the following roles:

* Blockade runner
* Troopship
* Light attack
* Fast scout
Aesthetican Civil War

The **Aesthetican Civil War** was a civil war between the Aristocra of Aesthetica and the *Populists*, in the years of 2241-45, although related conflicts began earlier. It involved the majority of the Aesthetican population. In a state of total war, both participants threw their entire economic, industrial and scientific capabilities into the war effort, almost erasing the distinction between civilian and military resources. Marked by the mass death of civilians, including the genocide of over 17,000,000 Chiss and human males, and the numerous mass-rapes of Chiss and human females, as well as totalling over 70,000,000 military causalities, it was the single deadliest conflict in Aesthetican history.

## History

The war was said to have begun on the 5th February, 2241, when the then-incumbent Aristocra Aiyran Sa'aculla declared war upon the Chiss and Human majorities, after three years of propaganda campaigns against these individuals. In response, displaced Chiss from Akkad and Ara'aya marched north towards Ka'roo, where a successful rebellion was stagedand the city was captured. A month later, the city of Ka'roo was embargoed, beginning the *Battle of the Erii Sea*, that ended two years later. Two shorter naval battles followed, the battles of Sai'ara Island and Port Centara, leading to the first Populist victory of the war, wherein naval dominance paved the way for several aerial and space victories. In 2244, with air superiority established, the first major land battles of the war began. The combined arms of the Populist Alliance made south towards Ara'aya, where they were met with *Cham Himitea*'s Army Group Noran, beginning the first Battle of Ara'aya. After being driven out of Ara'aya, Army Group Noran regrouped with *Ve'ersan Syndu'ub*'s Army Group Se'raa, and began a counterattack two months later. The attack failed, and the remnants of the combined Army Groups retreated to the Saleen Hills, marking the beginning of the end of the National Front.

From this point, Lieutenant General Arsona Gerrick took over from *Cher'atrana'chuun* and began her famous push to Akkad. Within a year, Gerrick had chased the National Front to the gates of Akkad in a series of battles and minor skirmishes, eliminating the Frontier's naval, space and air presences, deteriorating their tank divisions and laying siege to Akkad. A month after the siege of Akkad was laid, the National Front surrendered, and the war was over.

### Ideaology

Capitalist, Organically Democratic Federation

### Major Allies

The Order of Bogatyrs, The Aesthetican Resistance

### Alignment

Neutral Good

The **Union of Intergalactic States** (abbreviated as **UIS** or simply **The Union**) is an economic, social and military alliance consisting of Trident Foundries, Trinova Technologies remnants, RedEagle and the Aethi Imperium.

## Description

The Union of Intergalactic States is a democratic union of like-minded factions who serve and promote the common cause of peace and prosperity.

The Union is dedicated to promoting peace with other factions. However it has a very strong military made up of the best ships and pilots from the four member factions.

Some Union capital ships, like Trident Foundries' *Crusader*-class or RedEagle's *iMSAD*, carry Union flags alongside their faction insignia to show solidarity.

## History

### 2316

On September 26th, 2316, Aesthetics, FlyingDebris, Jake Lancia and Ithirahad met to discuss the creation of the Union on behalf of their nations, respectively. Aesthetics, FlyingDebris and Jake Lancia signed the charter of the new Union instantaneously, whereas Ithirahad took three days to sign. During the course of those three days, Jontyfreack of RedEagle also signed the Union charter, thus bringing the total member states to five, already topping that of the Odium Pact. Several days later, the Formiden Colonial Mandate requested to join the Union, and was voted in by the newly formed Union Council, with a vote of 10-0.

### 2317

With the merger of Aesthetica with Trident Foundries in early January 2317, the number of member states dropped back to five.

In early March, Formiden left the Union on good terms.

In mid-March, Union forces led by Jake Lancia and the revitalized Trident Foundries began an invasion into the FCM-controlled LCB Galaxies. After an inconclusive, and seemingly uneventful conflict, the Union of Intergalactic States retired itself to a minimal presence, hampered by intergalactic phenomena that exists and continues to be studied.

In August and September, Union forces led by FlyingDebris began to invade the war-torn LvD Galaxies again. Jake and the Trident Foundries, along with Ithirahad and the Aethi Imperium, followed Trinova to the galaxies as well. All of the UIS factions aligned themselves with the Lightside. The Union continues to construct starships and wage war in the LvD Galaxies in an attempt to bring the evil Darkside forces into line.
