Laser-Resistant Coating

**Laser-Resistant Coating** is a form of defence against energy weapons developed by Yamatai due to their inability to create large-scale and effective energy shields.

## Overview

Laser-Resistant Coating has been in existence in some form since the late 21st century, mostly used by Yamatai's predecessor state Akitsukuni. It is constantly being refined and has been improved greatly over its ancient counterpart.

The coating consists of a dense polymer material that is made into an aerosol and sprayed on the outer surface of the vehicle, item or building to be protected from lasers or energy weapons. When an energy weapon strikes this surface, the extremely conductive material will absorb the heat and energy transferred by the energy beam. The upper layer of the coating will be vaporised in the process. Typical surface coatings usually consist of several dozen of such micrometres-thick layers.

The laser-resistant coating can withstand most low-powered energy discharges, but is not impervious and can be penetrated by sufficiently powerful lasers. The coating will also wear down from repeated short-term exposure to laser blasts, resulting in damage from laser attacks during long periods of continuous combat. Depending on the thickness of the coating, modern laser-resistant coating can protect against lasers for almost a full minute of direct exposure, though damage is cumulative.

## Usage

Laser-resistant coating is typically sprayed onto the outer hulls of starships, fighters and troop landing craft. The anti-laser coating acts as the first line of defence Imperial ships have against lasers, before the Yukitate Crystal Lattice, another innovation of the Yamataians to get around their lack of energy shields.

Other applications include usage on the hulls of ground vehicles and on body armour. Transparent coatings are typically used to protect the portholes and windows on Yamataian spacecraft.
Kuroiwa-class Type-49

The **Kuroiwa-class Type-49** is a Yamataian combat mech designed for use as an artillery vehicle. It is officially known as the **Type-49 heavy self-propelled bipedal artillery vehicle**. Armed with an 18-meter-long railgun and weighing 505 tonnes, the Kuroiwa-class is the heaviest conventional mech in the Yamatai Imperial Army's arsenal. It is widely considered to be a highly mobile and powerful artillery support vehicle. Advanced and sophisticated electronics allow the large vehicle to be controlled by a crew of four.

## Design

### Armament

The primary armament of the Kuroiwa-class is a 18-meter-long railgun primarily used as a long-range artillery weapon, capable of firing solid projectiles to a range of 354 kilometres at a speed of 2,500 m/s. This weapon is powered by the vehicle's internal nuclear generator and produces almost no recoil, allowing the Kuroiwa-class to fire even while on the move. It is targeted through a complex series of battlefield interfaces, computer and AI aid, as it is capable of firing at targets beyond the visible horizon. The railgun is continuously stabilised by its own set of computer-controlled gyro-stabilisers separate from those stabilising the hull, allowing it to be trained on the same precise target even while the vehicle is moving or when it has moved.

It has also been confirmed that the railgun is also an effective anti-space weapon, targeting satellites and warships in orbit. This provides the Imperial Army with a highly mobile anti-space weapon that may use shoot-and-scoot tactics. Ammunition-wise, the railgun may fire solid kinetic slugs or tactical nuclear weapons.

The Kuroiwa-class is also well-armed for close-range combat, allowing it to defend itself against attackers. A high-powered free-electron laser is mounted on the underside of the vehicle's hull, controlled by either the weapons gunner or commander with a slaved helmet similar to the systems found on attack aircraft. 10 laser-guided multiple-purpose missiles are also mounted on the exterior of the vehicle for anti-armour and anti-air purposes. For direct fire against infantry or light vehicles, two 30mm rotary cannons are mounted on either side of the "head", allowing the driver to engage obstacles or forces directly in the path of the vehicle.

The **Nekarkodon** (頭足類思考, *Thinking Cephalopod*), also known as the **Chiteki-ika**, are a sentient mollusc species similar to the squids of Tiandi indigenous to the planet of Daglur, known as Teshio to the Yamataians. An aquatic species, Nekarkodon breathe through gills and dwell within salt water, requiring large amounts of sodium to catalyse bodily reactions. They are, however, able to emerge from water for short periods of time, storing water within sacs on their bodies for breathing purposes. The word *Nekarkodon* is the name of the species in the Nekar language. For operations outside of salt water, Nekarkodon often utilise sealed, mechanical suits known as Tiakyinn'wiyeh which they operate from within.

Nekarkodon society is separated into various pod-based nations, all of which are heavily stratified and structured around a rigid caste system. Nekarkodon are highly technologically advanced, possessing advanced robotics and capable of interstellar travel. The vast majority of Nekarkodon settlements exist on and under the Great Sea of Teshio, with some off-world settlements in neighbouring star systems. Due to the war with Yamatai and subsequent state of hostility, the Nekarkodon nations have unified into a single United Nations of Daglur to present a united front, though infighting occasionally occurs.

## Society and culture

Nekarkodon are widely considered a very self-centred and proud species, almost to the point of being xenophobic, coincide with their isolationist behaviour. Nekarkodon find Humans and other beings to be very crude, and languages other than Nekar to be very cumbersome and unsuitable for speech, owing to their underwater-evolved vocal cords. The Nekarkodon rarely speak languages other than Nekar, even when dealing with outsiders, though exceptions do exist. When dealing with outsiders Nekarkodon are known to prefer communicating through visual languages.

Nekarkodon society is highly stratified and warlike, with numerous nations throughout the seas of Daglur that occasionally war with each other for supremacy. This martial society was developed in response to millennia of existing in the middle of the food chain. A strict caste system is also in place within some nations, particularly those located in the deeper parts of the oceans. This is a social evolution originating from the scarcity of food at the abyssal plains, with the strict rationing systems that ensured the survival of early abyssal societies evolving into the caste system as it is today.

In general, the Nekarkodon tend to be conservative and practical in their thinking, preferring to stay within the depths of the oceans of their homeworld. Attitudes, however, are changing with the establishment of the Sky Reef Colony in the neighbouring Gamera-17 system as well as the mere development of spacecraft.

 Governing body

**Yamatai** is an inhabitable planet in the Yamatai System, and is the capital planet of Yamatai. It is one of the 16 inhabitable planets in Yamatai, and is home to the capital city and the largest city in Yamatai. It is the seat of the Empress and the Yamataian government. Yamatai is located in the central part of Imperial Space in the Kinai Region. Since the 2150s when the Akitsukunese leadership moved to Yamatai to flee Tiandi, it has been the de facto seat of government during the Unification Wars and officially became the capital following the complete reunification of all former Akitsukunese colonies under Yamatai.

It is the fourth planet from its sun, Himiko-12, and is the largest of the Yamatai System's six terrestrial planets, and the only planet in the system to accommodate life. The earliest life on Yamatai arose at least 1.5 billion years ago, and no sentient life had been formed when colonised by the Humans. It is further from the sun compared to Tiandi, and has a relatively cooler overall climate, though as a consequence entire areas of the frozen poles have conditions too cold for survival. It has five continents and a population of 13.38 billion humans. Yamatai has one moon, Tsukuyomi.

## Administrative divisions

### Provinces

Yamatai has 24 provinces, 23 of which are subordinate to the United Provinces of Yamatai, which is itself subordinate to the Yamataian government. Miyako Province is a special case and belongs wholly to the Imperial House of Yamatai.

The provinces of Yamatai are:

* Adachi
* Arakawa
* Bunkyo
* Chiyoda
* Chūō
* Edogawa
* Itabashi
* Katsushika
* Kita
* Kōtō
* Meguro
* Minato
* Miyako
* Nakano
* Nerima
* Ōta
* Setagaya
* Shibuya
* Shinagawa
* Shinjuku
* Suginami
* Sumida
* Taitō
* Toshima

## Transportation

There is a planetwide mag-lev train system for rapid transportation of goods and services.
Amiiri space

Amiiri space is the region of space occupied by the Amiiri. It is divided among many warring princes and clans, and many galactic powers compete for influence there. However, the primary "kingmaker" or "arbiter" in Amiiri affairs would be the Shanhe Kurun, despite competition from Singakher.

The Amiiri homeworld is Asor, located in the Azar system.
Chi-22 rifle

The **Chi-22** is a bullpup-styled assault rifle manufactured by Sugiura Armaments for the Yamatai Imperial Army as well as the civilian market. It is the newest service rifle of the Imperial Army, which has exclusive access to this weapon. It developed from and is intended to eventually replace the long-serving Chi-93 rifle in the Imperial Army.

## Design details

### Action

The Chi-22 uses a bullpup configuration, with the ammunition feed behind the trigger. The receiver housing is made of a special steel alloy, and the rifle furniture is made of polymer material. The rifle uses a lever-delayed blowback action.

### Ergonomics

Fire mode is controlled by a thumb fire selector switch for easy firing mode transition. Three settings are available: safe, semi-automatic, and automatic fire. Automatic fire can be in three-shot bursts or fully automatic, determined by another selector, located above the thumb selector.

The Chi-22 weighs 3.61 kg. It is equipped with numerousstandard accessory rails to allow a variety of over and under-barrel attachments such as red dot sights, night vision units, tactical grips and more.

### Ammunition

The Chi-22 fires the standard 5.56x45mm round from the standard Imperial Army 25 or 30 round detachable box magazine, shared with the Chi-93 rifle. It is also able to accept aftermarket drum magazines with larger capacities.

Model XI Pulse Rifle

The **Model XI Pulse Rifle** is the standard infantry weapon of the Shanhe Kurun's Green Banner. It is a simple assault rifle-type weapon, which fires an intense infrared laser in either short bursts or long streams. It is usable in atmospheric and exoatmospheric settings, though it typically has a longer range in space thanks to a lack of interference from air molecules. The Model XI is typically manufactured with an accompanying detachable serrated bayonet, which can also be used as a combat or utility knife. It also has a built-in computer and laser sight to aid in aiming and to monitor the percentage of each charge clip. When used in atmospheric conditions it does produce slight recoil due to the intense heat it subjects gases in the barrel and in the beam's path to.

Green Banner troops also commonly use the older but equally effective Model XV Assault Rifle, which fires kinetic slugs.
Ujugen

**Ujugen** (literally "steel mind) is a term that once referred to most AIs in the Shanhe Kurun but now specifically has come to mean military command intelligences. These AIs are typically extremely intelligent and in some cases mesh with civilian aeais within the Orrery. Ujugen are usually placed in command of defensive deployments and fortifications, which they are better at managing, but can also run offensive or special operations.

Ujugen are commonly given command over surnarae, and large fleets such as those with Sehe-class supercapital fleet tenders among their ranks also often have several ujugen with them to help control such a large fleet's tactics and strategy on a minute level.
STK

An **STK** (Shayin Tarshal Kirsiya, literally "Experimental Design Bureau") is a Shan state-owned company tasked with developing and producing a wide variety of goods. All STKs are headquartered in Sibe, with the vast majority having their home offices on Amyu or its satellites. There are around 350 independent STKs, which are often named for the city they are based out of, most with a number of subsidiaries as well.

Some of the largest design bureaus include the Chansai Group and the Sirhai Group, which produce the largest and second-largest amount of ships for the Black Banner's fleet annually respectively and both have significant subsidiaries in almost every other sector.
List of Species

This is an alphabetical **List of Civilisations** within the Tian Galaxy. The sheer size of the Tian Galaxy, along with its atypically large number of life-sustaining planets, make it home to a myriad trillions of species, a number that likely will never truly be known. These species ar eboth sentient and non-sentient, with the non-sentient species definitely vastly outnumbering those species that are capable of rational and reasoned thinking and action.
Tashan-class submarine

The ***Tashan*-class submarine** is one of the Shan Green Banner's primary aquatic combat vessels. 250 meters in length with a beam of 30 meters, it is generally carried in kits to be assembled and launched by Shan landing teams, although atmospheric insertion packages to drop it directly into a body of water from orbit have been manufactured. It is powered by a single nuclear fusion reactor, which obtains its fuel from the seawater around it and produces both power and oxygen for the boat. Thanks to engineered flasher fish and saba that are kept dormant in growth beds on board to be activated if provisions run low, a *Tashan*-class submarine has almost no need to ever return to port once deployed save to take on new crew, since it also is equipped with two repair robots and a skin of nanobots.

The *Tashan*-class can be outfitted to carry either a complement of thirty U-44 SLBMs, eighty C-90B cruise missiles, or a mixed complement. Either type of missile is capable of carrying nuclear, chemical, biological, conventional, or nanological warheads. Some boats have also been reconfigured to carry other missile systems for various purposes such as air defense or surface-to-orbit attacks. It has six torpedo tubes, firing the forty-eight Model 64 torpedos carried aboard the boat. It also carries a pair of heavy railguns for purposes of missile defense, anti-ship attacks, and land attacks, and is capable of supercharging said railguns for use as surface-to-orbit weapons. With a maximum operating depth of four kilometers, and a crush depth estimated around five, the *Tashan*-class is a formidable vessel. It also carries up to three Nissa-class UUCVs and advanced active and passive sonar systems.

*Tashan*-class submarines, being the versatile and large vessels they are, can also serve in troop transport capacities.
Yamatai Special Naval Landing Force

The **Yamatai Special Naval Landing Force** (海軍特別陸戦隊, KTR), is a branch of the Yamatai Imperial Military responsible for carrying out space-to-land manoeuvres, using the mobility of the Imperial Navy to rapidly deliver combined-arms task forces. The SNLF is one of the three branches represented in the Imperial Military High Council despite being officially a part of the Imperial Navy.

The SNLF has a major component of the Imperial Navy since its inception, working closely with naval forces for training, transportation, and logistics. The SNLF operates posts on planets and aboard assault ships across Imperial Space, and several of the SNLF's tactical aviation squadrons also operate from the Navy's carriers. The SNLF is often also found acting as security troops for Navy installations and warships.
Lokshan-class carrier

The ***Lokshan*-class carrier** is the name of the class of heavy drone-carrying vessels converted from their original design as Jehal-class battleships. They carry fifty attack drones, but are equipped with only four long-range lasers and eight missile pods. The *Lokshan*-class also carries three Quren-class laser buses.

The *Lokshan*-class has its origins in the Shan-Regency Wars, when the Central Military Commission decided it needed to almost immediately implement the deployment of a larger, more heavily-armored carrier than it had available. As a stopgap measure, the *Lokshan*-class was created, serving as an interim capital ship until the Uulnam-class supercarrier began to be produced in greater numbers.
Sehe-class supercapital fleet tender

The ***Sehe*-class supercapital fleet tender,**, also known as the ***Sehe*-class supercarrier**, is the largest vessel in the Shan Black Banner (even bigger than the Uulnam-class or the Jehal-class), designed to support fleet operations and expeditions far from home for extended periods.

The *Sehe*-class primarily carries supplies and large numbers of soldiers, as well as large quantities of construction equipment to build fortifications on bodies it passes. *Sehe*-class vessels also carry significant logistical assets to help coordinate fleetwide strategy and tactical maneuvers. Each carries four Quren-class laser buses for self-defense, in addition to extremely large numbers of point-defense lasers.

Because of their size and design, *Sehe*-class vessels typically serve as flagships of large formations on the frontier, helping to establish defenses, transport large numbers of soldiers, and sustain expeditions against various threats far from the infrastructure of developed systems. Only a few are usually kept in the core systems, where the Black Banner's ships can resupply with much greater ease.
Energy shields

**Energy shields**, also known as **deflector shields**, **deflector screens** or simply **shields**, are a form of physical shielding usually consisting of a field of energized particles which seal around any form of surface, deflecting physical objects. Energy shields are typically translucent of transparent and are produced by shield generators. These generators can be placed on planets, robots, vehicles, starships, space stations, individual buildings, infantry armour and more, as long as there is a solid surface to project the shield onto.

The primary purpose of the shield is to block or deflect projectiles and lasers from hitting the object under protection.

## Shield types

The Six Banners of the Shanhe Kurun employ a unique form of energy shielding. Shan shields are based off of gravitic manipulation. Shan gravity shields use manipulation of gravity fields around their ships or large landers and the like (as their power requirements are significant) to deflect enemy fire from lasers to particle beams to plasma or kinetics. Unlike the shields of other civilizations, Shan shields cannot be worn down by intense enemy fire, but they are vulnerable to having their chinks exploited (as coverage is almost never perfect). They also interfere with the action of inertial dampeners.

The Orrery

**The Orrery** (Shan: *Taegyeh*) is the loose term used to refer to the huge agglomeration of computer systems that help to run the government and military of the Shanhe Kurun. The definition of this huge network is blurry, as it is fairly highly integrated with normal civilian networks both inside the Kurun and (often unbeknownst to its hosts) across the galaxy. Some theorize that, in fact, the reach and complexity of this computer system make it the true ruler of the Shanhe Kurun, which has become a cybercracy, but all agree that without the Orrery's vast data capacity, the Shan government would probably be overwhelmed by the billions of small tasks that their AIs and computers autonomously take care of.

The Orrery's systems also extend into the military, where ujugen are often placed if not in command then in positions of authority in military units (particularly defensive emplacements).
National Front for Liberation of Mizuho

The **National Front for Liberation of Mizuho** (みずほの解放のための国民戦線), also known as the *Mizuono Kaiyuono Tameno Kojumin Genjen* in the Mizuho dialect, as well as through the contractions *Katakoge* or *Katakose*, is a political organization and armed insurgent force that exists on Mizuho, primarily originating in the province of Kawachi and aiming for the independence of Mizuho from the Empire of Yamatai. It has both guerilla and regular armed forces, and even owns a small space fleet that is hidden in neighbouring systems. It has been at war with the GSDFs of neighbouring provinces as well as the Yamatai Imperial Military since 2650, though the organisation has been in existence in various iterations since 2290 with numerous Mizuho Peacekeeping Actions having been taken against them by the Imperial Military. The present Katakose is by far the most successful, having gained the political, military and resource support from an entire province, with numerous wars of expansion having been successful.

## Katakose Space Fleet

The Katakose operates a small space fleet, known as the Katakose People's Navy. Due to the high Imperial Navy presence around Mizuho, the Katakose People's Navy constantly rotates through the uninhabitable systems around Mizuho, hiding from the Imperial Navy. It occasionally engages in resource raiding operations as well as blockade running activities, bringing stolen resources to their comrades on the ground.

 Reserve personnel

The **Yamatai Imperial Navy**, also known as the **Imperial Navy**, is the space-warfare branch of the Yamatai Imperial Military. It is one of the largest and most powerful human naval forces, with around 624,079,410 personnel, with a total of 520,157 starships of various type, including around 2,639 capital ships.

The Imperial Navy traces its origins to the Yamatai Colony Defence Fleet, which was established prior to the War of Yamataian Unification and was essentially disbanded shortly after once Kanagawa joined Yamatai. Their separate colonial defence fleets were merged into the first iteration of the official Imperial Navy, which was subsequently used to pacify the remaining colonies. It is a central part of the Imperial Military and maintains the total defence of Yamtaian space. It is capable of projecting force beyond Imperial Space, engage in forward areas during peacetime, and rapidly respond to regional crises, making it an active player in Yamataian foreign and defence policy.

The Navy is represented on the Military High Council by the Grand Marshal of the Navy, who is also the single highest-ranking officer in the Navy. The Grand Marshal is aided by two Marshal Admirals of the Mobile Force and the Defence Force. The Logistics Unit is subordinate to both services, and while officially a part of the Navy the SNLF is itself represented on the Military High Council.

## Equipment

### Ships

Yamataian warships are often geared towards heavy firepower and combined-arms tactics, though each individual ship is generally designed to be self-sufficient for long-range patrols. Yamataian capital ship of heavy cruiser-class and above are designed to engage multiple targets at once with optional (but preferable) support, while smaller craft like destroyers are intended to operate in groups of multiple craft. Most Yamataian warships are made for brute-force, frontal attacks, though certain classes are produced for asymmetric warfare like the Kabekage-class stealth destroyer.

### Small Craft

#### Fighters and bombers

Yamataian fighters and bombers tend to be geared towards large-scale swarm tactics, though are generally capable on their own. Nevertheless, a trend towards increasingly higher-performance fighters capable of operating on their own or in small groups can be observed, and the development of independent bombers capable of interstellar FTL jumps also indicates a shift away from the swarm tactics of the past.

### Weapons

Railguns, beam spam, general missile massacre and long-range laser beams a la Neuroi and 30mm cannons spam for point-defenseless.

Wave Motion Guns on destroyers, light cruisers and one familiar-looking class of battleship.
Hez

**Hez** is the name of a species of plant native to Amyu, which is one of the primary food crops of the Shan species. It is a high-yield grain similar to terragen rice. Wild hez was first found in warm, swampy areas near freshwater rivers and lakes, and was quickly domesticated by the Shan. Its grains can be ground into flour and used to make bread or boiled/steamed and eaten on their own or with other foods.

Various strains and subspecies of hez have been grown extensively or bioengineered for higher yields or greater resilience to threats like salt and drought, and hez is the #1 crop in Shan space. It is also used as feed for livestock and is edible to just about any herbivore or omnivore.
Shinsengumi

**Shinsengumi** are a class of robotic drone soldiers used by Yamatai. Each iteration of Shinsengumi is a mass-produced, expendable humanoid robot governed by a basic AI that is linked to a central computer, where robots are controlled by human operators. Shinsengumi are able to react dynamically to individual combat situations but are normally unable to act autonomously as a whole, though prototypes capable of independent search-and-destroy missions have been developed for activities behind enemy lines. Controllers notably control their assigned units in a manner similar to a real-time strategy hologame, earning derision from other frontline forces.

The Shinsengumi project, since its inception in 2237, has been spearheaded and implemented by Division 913 of the Yamatai Imperial Army Special Applications. All Shinsengumi models are produced by Division 913's factories or delegated to contractors.

## Existent Shinsengumi Models

### Shinsengumi Type-37

The first model of Shinsengumi from 2237, this was little more than a basic bipedal robot capable of carrying heavy weapons and accompanying troops into the field. No Type-37s remain in service.

### Shinsengumi Type-20

   The latest model of Shinsengumi is the Type-20, introduced in 2720. It is an armoured and highly modular robot standing at two meters tall, with a built-in chest 7.62mm machine gun. It is able to handle all Yamataian infantry weapons as well as purpose-built weapons such as heavy lasers (which tap on the robot's internal battery) as well as large explosive-reactive shields. Notably, the Type-20 is equipped with numerous internal storage pods for anti-infantry micro-missiles, allowing it to take on large groups of enemy infantry at once.

The Type-20 is often deployed in groups of five to seven, or attached to a single squad of infantry as a fire support option.
Shinsho

**Shinsho**, is a Yashimese syllabary found in Yamatai, a basic component of the New Yashimese writing system, along with hiragana, katakana and kanji. *Shinsho* literally translates to "New Writing".

Heavily based on the hiragana and katakana syllabaries, each sound in the Yashimese language is represented by one block character that contains two characters. The lower character denotes a basic vowel (a, i, u, e, o), while the upper character denotes the consonant series (i.e. ka, ki, ku, ke, ko). Hiragana and katakana requires a reader to recognise 46 distinct characters, rising to 71 if diacritics are included. Within the Shinsho system, only 20 unique characters need to be recognised. Shinsho block characters cannot be used alongside other forms of written Yashimese, doing so being considered improper from a cultural standpoint. Shinsho is used to replicate both hiragana and katakana, showing no distinction between the two.

With the rapid flow of information of the modern era and the need for universal education to operate increasingly complex technology, in 2278 the Yamataian government undertook a study to create a new form of written Yashimese to improve recognition speed and ease of learning. It was believed that with a simplified system tasks requiring rapid recognition such as piloting aerospace fighter craft would be made more efficient, as well as solving the "keyboard problem", which had existed since pre-20th century times whereby basic kana-based keyboards had over 46 keys, requiring increasingly sophisticated hard and software to shrink these keyboards. Shinsho was also praised for its ease of teaching and learning, allowing education to be sped up somewhat. Despite heavy resistance by the traditional and educational communities, Shinsho was put into use as a secondary script second to the traditional forms of writing. A theory exists that Shinsho was created expressly to aid communications with potential foreign space powers.

Shinsho is used in everyday aspects to simplify reading and to speed up education, ensuring most of Yamataian society is literate. As of 2732, Shinsho is understood by at least 91% of Yamataian society. 74% of Yamataians are literate in both Shinsho and the traditional kana, with kanji use increasingly waning with only 45% literacy, primarily appearing in government, military and upper class civilian use. Shinsho is also the main technical language, appearing on computer displays and other readouts. Typing in Shinsho is also simplified as keyboards now only require 20 character keys, saving space and providing an alternative layout to simplify the typing of other written Yashimese.
Billy Billions

Template:PartStub
**William Theodore** "**Billy" Billions** is a villain in **Ben 10**.

## Appearance

Billy has brown eyes and black hair. He wears a red-violet tux and a pink bow tie. His tux has gold buttons at the end of his black sleeves. He has gold pockets. He wears a white shirt under his tuxedo. He wears a gold medal. He has black shorts.

## Personality

Billy is virtually identical personality wise to his original counterpart. The only key difference is Billy's arrogance comes from his obsession with getting everything he wants.

## History

Template:PartStubBilly first appears in *Rustbucket RIP*. He is seen driving his vehicle from the back seat towards the store where the Platinum Card is. However, XLR8 buys the card before him, much for Billy's anger. In response, Billy steals the Rustbucket, but Wildvine chases him. He is ultimately defeated by Heatblast and grounded by his parents. After getting only a half of the card, Billy swears revenge on Ben.

In *Don't Laze Me, Bro,* Mr. Billions rented out Lazer Town for the whole day for Billy's Birthday. Ben and Gwen were planning to go to Lazer Town that day, so they decided to challenge Billy and his "friends" to a lazer tag duel. It turned out that Billy's "friends" were actually robots that Mr. Billions owned. Ben used his alien powers in an attempt to beat Billy while Billy used his robots. Billy was being extremely rude to his robots, making them rise against all humans, and the robots set their lazers to disintegrate. Billy and Gwen used Billy's presents (that were made of real gold) to deflect the lazers, while Ben used Diamondhead to target the lazers to all the robots. The lazer tag duel ended in a tie.

## Powers and Abilities

### Equipment

With a pad, Billy can control a limousine with spider-like legs and multiple weapons. He also can send fireproof robots that, however, are vulnerable to water.

## Weaknesses

The **Komodo Rhino** (こもど谷犀牛, *Komodo-tani Saigyū, Komodo Valley Rhino*) is a species of large, omnivorous, horned reptile native to the Yamataian planet of Kanagawa. There are numerous natural subspecies of the Komodo Rhino dispersed across Kanagawa, and domesticated communities have also been successfully integrated and adapted to a variety of climate conditions on different worlds. The Komodo Rhino is bred both as a beast of burden and for its meat.

## History

The Komodo Rhino was first discovered in the Komodo Valley on Kanagawa by settlers in 2098, though other communities were rapidly found planet-wide. Its ease of domestication allowed it to rapidly become a crucial part of the colonisation effort, complimenting vehicles brought along. Komodo Rhinos remain an integral part of Kanagawan culture and society to this day, even throughout the various provinces, with one of the planet's main exports being Komodo Rhino meat.

## Description

The komodo rhino has a thick hide, which serves as natural protection for its body. Three large, curved horns dominate its face; two curving down from its forehead and one curving upward from its snout. These are made of solid keratin, and wild komodo rhinos are known to purposefully sharpen their horns against rocks to aid in hunting larger animals.

## Human usage

### Use as food

Komodo Rhino meat is used within Yamatai for various meat products, including sausages, steaks and sashimi. Komodo Rhino meat is known to be tough and can be easily preserved. It is exported throughout the galaxy.
Quren-class laser bus

The ***Quren*-class laser bus** is a small vessel generally carried by the Black Banner's carrier vessels. Its sole purpose is to attack the enemy with the maximum amount of firepower that is possible to fit into its small space. It generally has a crew of about three, and what it completely lacks in armor it makes up for in speed and overwhelming firepower. A *Quren*-class laser bus carries more high-energy lasers than a Jehal-class battleship, with 58 weapons. They are fitted with a few point-defense lasers as well.

*Quren*-class crews have a very high mortality rate, from the incredible accelerations they have to endure, the low amount of radiation shielding the little ships have, and from enemy fire. They do not have gimelspace drives, which is why they must be carried into combat, but their subluminal engines are extraordinarily powerful.
Hikuidori-class patrol ship

4x underwing triple missile racks
2x2 45mm cannons (Waist Turrets)

The **Hikuidori-class** patrol ship is a lightly-armed patrol ship intended for long-range patrol duties and enforcement activities. Besides the Yamatai Imperial Navy, it is also operated by the various Planetary Self-Defence Fleets and some governmental agencies such as law enforcement, customs and trade officials.

With a wide-reaching FTL range allowing the ship to keep up with larger fleets, the Hikuidori is often used for inter-system patrol, the patrolling of FTL beacon webs, orbital law enforcement and anti-pirate activity. It is equipped with powerful sensors and electronics systems to carry out its patrol missions, allowing it to act as a forward space controller as well.

## Overview

### Sensors and electronics

The main appeal of the Hikuidori-class is its powerful sensors package and robust electronics systems, allowing for penetration into the depths of space.

### Armament

Only lightly armed, the Hikuidori-class is equipped with four underwing triple missile racks, allowing for a total of 12 missiles of various types. It is also equipped with two waist turret with dual 45mm anti-armour cannons, allowing it to attack targets larger than itself.

### Crew

The Hikuidori-class has a crew of 4. It has room for up to 12 passengers, though with only two extra seats.

## Role

Within the Imperial Navy, the Hikuidori-class has found use as a light forward scout craft, a minor courier shuttle and as a forward space controller for fighters, using its sensors and systems to direct the fighter packs.
Wolfen Sheep

**Wolfen Sheep** is an Alpha mutant created by Dr. Animo. He first appeared in *Animo Farm*.

## Appearance

 File:Wolfen asesino.png
Wolfen Sheep has the body of a common sheep having white wool on most of his body. His sheep wool covers his wolf face. However, he can stretch out his neck extremely far. When he does this, you can see he has the head of a wolf. His wolf fur is greyish-black. He has orange eye balls with black eyes as well as a grey mouth and a black nose. The insides of his ears are pink. He also has sharp teeth like a wolf. He has greyish-black wolf feet with three grey claws on each foot and has a sheep tail.

## Behavior

Wolfen Sheep has great pride. He does work if he is needed to. He is vicious and aggressive as he wasn't afraid to attack Ben when Ben wasn't doing work. Wolfen Sheep can also talk, but can't say too many words. When he talks, he sounds like a sheep "baaaing" while saying words.

## Powers and Abilities

Wolfen Sheep can stretch his neck to use his sharp teeth to attack enemies. He can also use his sharp claws to attack, but he usually uses his teeth as his neck is stretchable. He is also able to stand on two feet.

## Weaknesses

Wolfen Sheep's teeth can't bite through horns, so he can't attack if horns are in the way.

## History

Along with the other Alphas, he was forcing the Accidentals and Stinkfly to do work on the farm. Later, the Accidentals and Stinkfly teamed up on the Alphas. Wolfen Sheep tried to fight Minitaur, but his teeth couldn't bite through Minitaur's horns. After the other Alphas lost against the Accidentals and Stinkfly, Wolfen Sheep and the other Alphas became prisoners on The Farm.

## Etymology

Wolfen Sheep's name is based off of the term "wolf in sheep's clothing," an idiom from the Holy Bible used for someone playing a role contrary to their real character with whom contact is dangerous.
List of civilisations

This is an alphabetical **List of Civilisations** within the Tian Galaxy. The Tian Galaxy is home to a wide array of civilisations, both human and non-human. While the factitious nature of humanity means there are numerous purely human civilisations, "nations" and factions, most non-human civilisations are often composed of singular or even multiple species.

Ryuusei-class dropship

The **Ryuusei-class** is a Yamataian multi-mission aerospacecraft with both a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capability. It is primarily a dropship capable of carrying infantry, vehicles or hardware from orbiting carriers to the surface of planets or onto other craft in boarding actions, as well as act as a short-range shuttlecraft in space. It is also heavily armed and can act as a gunship to support ground troops, as well as act as a utility aircraft to facilitate air-mobile operations on the ground.
Talai

The talai is a fast, herbivorous herd animal native to Amyu that was domesticated by the Shan for its usefulness in carrying riders at high speed in both combat and noncombat situations. The one pictured is unusual in its black-and-white coloring; most are grey or brown-colored. As they age, talai lose some of their slimness and bulk up more, making them sometimes useful as light pack animals. They are also edible, although eating them was considered a sign of poverty or desperation for many millennia. Introduced across the Kurun, talai are now largely protected, as they have been supplanted as vehicles or pullers of vehicles by skimmers and other motorized vehicles.
Saba

**Saba** is the collective name for fruits grown by a genus of plants native to Amyu. Saba come in several varieties. The sweet varieties can be eaten raw or cooked, while the starchy varieties is always eaten cooked (although it is technically edible raw). They are often compared to terragen bananas, but the starchy varieties are often used in ways more similar to potatoes. The sweet varieties also have a distinctly different flavor from terragen bananas and are more suitable for fruit desserts and the like. They are widely grown, and the starchy varieties in particular are produced in huge numbers all across Shan space. They are a staple food for the Shan.
Lan'er-class transport

The ***Lang'er*-class transport** fills the role of both missile bus and transport for the Shan Green Banner's aquatic forces. It typically carries a payload of around 500 surface-to-air or short-range land attack missiles, as well as around 7,600 troops. It can deploy Nissa-class UUCVs if equipped to carry them, and can also be remodulated to mount a wide variety of weapons from heavy railguns to surface-to-orbit lasers. It also carries a large number of skimmers, to deploy the forces that it carries on board.
Hadon

A **hadon** is a large Shan educational institute for those who have passed the examinations. It trains students for future careers in the government, the military's officer corps, or an STK, or, rarely, for a career with a private company or service (though few choose to pass the exams and study further if they want this sort of career). It is essentially a much larger tacliin, with multiple facilities, better equipment, and a larger staff.
Jaiho-class orbital bombardment vessel

The ***Jaiho*-class orbital bombardment vessel** or *Jaiho*-class fire support vessel is a combat craft used by the Shan Black Banner to support Green Banner landings and movements. Designated as a ship of about frigate size, its hull is streamlined and hardened and equipped with scramjet mounts to make it capable of flight in the upper atmosphere, where it can support Green Banner units more effectively. The *Jaiho*-class generally carries two attack drones or two atmospheric fighters or dropships. It also carries a bomb bay of kinetic kill vehicles and a railgun turret to fire these from, which is still effective in space (where the slugs can be accelerated to much higher velocities). It also carries two missile pods and a long-range laser.

The *Jaiho*-class's railgun can also fire spreadshots, which are more effective against anti-air or dispersed soft targets on the surface, and can also be used in fleet anti-missile or anti-fighter defense exoatmospherically.

The *Jaiho*-class is an excellent support vessel for landing operations and is very good at protecting landers and dropships from enemy fire with its point-defense lasers and strike laser, as well as its missiles. Its railgun helps it soften up enemy targets on the ground, and can be fired with enough precision to also destroying attacking enemy aircraft. In space, it is useful as a small escort vessel.

*Jaiho*-class ships are not equipped with FTL drives.

Hata-class battlecruiser

The ***Hata*-class battlecruiser**, also known as the Hata-class heavy cruiser, is one of the more numerous ships in the Shan Black Banner. It is one of the Black Banner's more versatile ships, being suitable for many missions and capable of being remodulated to serve in different capacities. A heavier craft than the Khevtuul class, it often leads cruiser squadrons or is sent on tasks considered too dangerous or simply too hard for the lighter cruiser class.

Standard *Hata*-class armament includes eleven heavy attack drones, four long-range lasers, and seven missile pods, and *Hata*-class vessels have reconfigurable armor. They do not carry escape pods, and generally only carry a single small shuttle.
Nissa-class UUCV

The ***Nissa*-class unmanned underwater combat vehicle (UUCV)** is one of the primary workhorses of the Shan Green Banner aquatic fleet. It carries active and passive sonar systems, anti-torpedo countermeasures, eight torpedoes, and either four cruise missiles or two ballistic missiles. The *Nissa*-class can also act as a minelayer or a deployer of smaller drones, such as autonomous floating missile packages. Carried by Tashan-class submarines, the *Nissa*-class has a wide variety of uses and can be remodulated to serve in almost every role imaginable.
School of Unrestricted Night

The **School of Unrestricted Night** is an ancient and powerful Shan secret society dating back to the pre-industrial era, where it originated as a cabal of astrologers in the court of the Aijin Ninth Dynasty. The School of Unrestricted Night is a mysterious organization, and little is known today of it besides that it does still exist throughout the Kurun.
