Advenae Enclave/Military

OverviewHistoryTrade**Military**

As a machine-state, the Advenae Enclave can reap the rewards of an extraordinarily well-coordinated military structure. Lacking the conventions of organic militaries, even those of the relatively comparably automated military of the Grand Republic of Rothania. As such, both naval and terrestrial forces can work in uncanny synchronization to complete tasks, and also have less consideration for the value of individuals, as largely unintelligent, directly coordinated war-drones are not considered to hold the same basic value of life as an organic soldier. This does not mean that Advenae disregards losses in its strategy, rather that it views the balance of its forces and their objective through a different lens to that of a (well-adjusted) organic leader.

### Astronavy

The primary tool of hostile power projection for many nations, the same is true for Advenae. Enclave-designed warships, though superficially similar in purpose and function, are internally quite distinct from other spaceship designs. With zero consideration for any crew beyond extremely compact maintenance drones and their tiny service tunnels, Advenae spacecraft are densely built, which can aid in the durability of vessels with a much more tightly-built superstructure and a dramatic reduction in internal space necessitated by use of an organic crew. With limited domestic infrastructure, Advenae has outsourced a considerable degree of its military buildup to outside companies and groups, such as GladreCorp, though the highly unconventional designs have resulted in partnered ship manufacturers having to develop new production pipelines in order to construct Advenae vessels.

Full Coverage

Presently the largest vessel of the Advenae navy, the CWBS-1 battleship forms the capitol core of the Enclave's astronaval forces. Like all of the Advenae fleet, the CWBS-1 is operated by its own dedicated AI system, coordinating with strategic AI to effectively engage in pitched combat. The spaceframe of the CWBS-1 is distinguished by its striking "Y" shape when viewed from above, with the main body making up the lower spur of the "Y", with twin "wing" sections that house the ship's primary etheric turbines, as well as a small number of auxiliary guns. The CWBS-1 is well-protected by sheets of SIM concentrated within its primary hull segment, which are angled such to best deflect fire directed towards the forward half of the ship. Buried just ahead of where the spurs of the "Y" shape meet is the citadel, containing the ship's AI systems, QBD, antimatter storage, and the most crucial components of the primary propulsion system.

#### Strike Craft

* SF-1 Fighter
* SMB-1 Missile Boat

### Army

Unlike societies composed of organic or autonomous, sapient AI citizens, the Advenae Enclave has no need to recruit/conscript and train members of its population to serve in the armed forces. Rather, Advenae soldiers are comprised of a variety of purpose-built war drones, most of which are not capable of long-term independent operation, being overseen and controlled by various ranks of combat AI, both in the form of more sophisticated leadership units and centralized command centers.

#### Infantry Drones

* IA-1 Battle Droid
* CIA-1 Battle Droid

The most basic footsoldier drone of the Advenae Enclave, the IA-1 Battle Droid is light, cheap to produce, and versatile under coordination of a superior AI, usually a CIA-1. Structurally, IA-1's and related infantry models are modeled off of the skeletal structure of Aoshanti, giving them a distinctly skeletal appearance. Despite this, units are reasonably durable and possess comparable raw strength to the species they are modeled after. Though all IA-1's operate with the basic functionality a foot soldier requires to perform effectively, including weapon utilization that matches that of most organics, more complex behaviors and tactics are directed to individual IA-1's by their commanding AIs as necessary. Under such coordination, IA-1's make effective and deadly menial units.
