Dalmeran Celestial Defense and Exploration Array

The Dalmeran Celestial Defense and Exploration Array (sometimes called the Dalmer Celestial Defense and Exploration Agency) is the Dalmer Empires space agency.

The agency has several essential missions for the empire, the most notable is supplying the empire with the resources collected from meteor mining, the maintenance of the celestial array of satellites and the exploration of the Weltan system.

## Role

The celestial array is the collection of artificial and modified natural satellites in orbit around welt. Most of the satellites of the celestial array are built by the DCDEA, satellites are asteroids that the Dalmer pull from space via Skycaller Holds, modify them with their technology for a certain function, and then send back into space to orbit the planet.

### Meteor mining

Meteor showers are very common in Welt, and are a providential source of metals, which is why mining as an industry is not very common.

## History

After initial mishaps and breakthroughs, the Dalmer created the Royal Celestial Array, also known as the Dalmeran Celestial Defense and Exploration Array (DCDEA), whose job is the protection of Welt from meteor showers, the protection of all dalmer from the other races, the maintenance and creation of Dalmer satellites, and to a lesser degree, the exploration of space. The DCDEA monitors potential meteor showers and warns Dalmer on the field of arrivals. A part of the Dalmers organic matter, water, mineral and metal wealth comes from asteroid mining. Asteroid nets are created solely to round up asteroids for future mining.

## DCDEA Technology

### Tractor/repulsor Technology

*Main Article: Tractor/repulsor Technology*

The DCDEA is the greatest proponent of the technology, which is essential to grappling meteors from orbit and bringing them to the surface before returning them to the ether.

### Skycaller holds

These holds (and the staves they protect) true nature is to maintain large asteroids in orbit and controlling their descent into a meteor receptacle, where it will be harvested for resources and then either sent back into the ether, converted into a satellite or into a weapon of mass destruction kept in orbit.

### Comet Control Staff

The comet control staff is an experimental technology destined to be a portable method of controlling the ascent or descent of a meteor put into orbit.

Preliminary testing of the comet control staff by sending the asteroids into the sea resulted in massive tremors that awakened a Gigacetidae, a monstrous bipedal aquatic mammal, invulnerable to Dalmer weaponry, which went on a rampage and destroyed a Dalmer coastal city. The staves electromagnetic pulse causes the Gigacetidae intense acoustic pain, causing it to chase the user until the staff has been safely returned to the Holds nullifying powers. The end of the pulse added to the Maresun’s allowed the Gigacetidae to be put back to sleep peacefully. Learning from this, the Dalmer created the Dalmeran Celestial Defense and Exploration Agency (DCDEA), who installs tractor installations all over the planet to attract meteors from orbit using tractor/repulsor technology, outfit them with Dalmer technology, and send them back .
