Radii

## **General Information**

### **Lore:**

*"Having developed advanced technologies far beyond most races, it is no wonder the Radii have proven to be dangerous foes. They are masters of nano-technology and electromagnetism, crafting fearsome tools of war that encapsulate their conquering and autonomous cybernetic nature. While it is a hazardous venture to do battle with the Radii, some pilots seek them out in hopes of salvaging their advanced technology for their own purposes."* -Codex

## **Misc. Info**

Radii are known for their long-range weaponry and annoying defenses. They possess dumbfire photon bombs that can deal high damage and come in barrages/storm variants, incredibly long-range lock-on slugs that can deal high damage, hardlight barriers infused with nanites that can perfectly reflect energy weaponry, decoys that can scramble weapons, auto-aiming laser primaries, and a shield that can deplete up to 50% of any negative effect applied on their ships.

Photon-resistant shields, barriers, and agility are all good ways to prevent being storm one-shot from across a sector, as is a solid stealth system; though getting too close enables them to use their anti-stealth proxy and/or repulsion proxy. Effect-based weapons are usually wasted on them due to their ability to quickly deplete them, so it is best to use raw damage to defeat them. A signal scrambler, shield bubble, and/or stealth system is recommended to avoid constant slug bombardment within 300su of any Radii ship. Their barriers and regeneration can make combat at a distance difficult, so gear that circumvents barriers is recommended, such as the teleporting stinger or laser beam. The Resonite shield in particular negates a good deal of radii weaponry, leaving only their projectile primary and slugs. It is crucial to avoid being targeted by multiple frigates without cover or counters, or they will make quick work of any ship.

## **Trivia**

* "Radii" is the plural form of "Radius", which is a nod to the technological advancements and techology-focused traits of the Radii
