The Archives

The Archives are massive, mobile, modular facilities which are capable of hosting any kind of modules such as factories, food production and processing, manufacturing ships, or ground vehicles, ammunitions, armaments, consumer goods, torpedoes, and so on. There are two known Archives operating as of 8025. They are usually spanning at least 3 kilometers long, and 5 kilometers wide, and are equipped with extremely superior sublight engines as well as extremely superior jump drives, capable of jumping not only the Archive, but also everything in a radius calculated to be at around 5km^3, but can be modulated and changed, up to 20km^3, which makes it unique. It has no shields.

## History

The Archives' builders are not known. The main theory is that they came from the M51 universe, built by the Promethean Empire at its peak, and were brought into the A02 universe during the Second Apocalypse, but the superior FTL engines outclasses the Prometheans' from this era by a long shot. Another main theory are the "Probable Ancient Ruling Species of the Galaxy" or "the Previous Ones", named by IDS. However, their design (except for the Archive n°2), are extremely human-like, and might have been produced by either a secret society such as the Eagles of Rebellion, or unknown ones.

## Archive n°1

Or simply, The Archive, due to the CMOE's not knowing about the existence of XE-4's Archive. It is the headquarters of the Commandery Military Order of Earth and its main reason for operating is to protect and archive human history and technology from the hands of any existing nations, during what's been nicknamed the "Third Apocalypse" - the Great War of 8021.

## Archive n°2

Codenamed ***Hiraeth,*** the second Archive is operated by XE-4 and made planetfall around 8022 in the uncharted Tyrrhenian Nebula, on Planet Calvary, as the government collapsed one by one, steamrolled by the Holy Briserian Empire. This second Archive, or just the Archive, due to XE-4 also not knowing the existence of the CMOE's Archive, has a less human appearance, with two protuberance at the stern, as the special docking points for the Reckoning-class Dreadnoughts. Capable of repairing and maintaining up to 15 Reckoning-class Dreadnoughts theoretically, it is more of a mobile shipyard. But is can also hosts 150,000 personnel and their families, and served as a colony ship for XE-4 until their planetfall.

It has two enormous mobile engines underneath the Archive, capable of reaching 60% lightspeed, but the commandment of the ship limited it to 10%. It has also wings dedicated to the leisure of the personnel, food production to sustain the 150,000 passengers, fighters building and maintenance factories, armaments factories, and most importantly, detachable, mobile and FTL-capable mining and refineries, for the aforementioned ship producing.

During the Operation Scythe, the Stratocracy did not manage to determinate the size or the capabilities of the Second Archive, but they are aware of its existence. During the Battle of Planet Calvary, the XE-4 personnel evacuated, and jumped away in an emergency location. Due to the RecCON anomalies and darkness of the nebula, it is virtually impossible for the Stratocracy to find them, but Planet Calvary was abundant in natural resources, especially many kinds of Nex Reginium. Planned secret mining and evacuation of Nex Reginium by XE-4 after Operation Scythe and the loss of Planet Calvary are planned.
