History
The only other design within the Federacy vaults worthy of the pocket battle ship name was the Thanatos-class. However, this vessel proved to be extremely expensive and time consuming to produce. Very few of the Thanatos model ever saw service. Thus, the Federal Bureau of Military affairs deemed it necessary that a cheap alternative to the powerful Thanatos-class be produced using Federal Gunship technology and Thanatos technology.
The answer was the DreadLord, an entirely new step in the Gunship direction. Loaded down with heavy weapons and lacking fighter support, the DreadLord follows the mold set by the Federal Gunship. With the incorporation of munitions based weapons and a forward Confessor Collapser Railgun along with alternative close range weapons, the Thanatos path is achieved.
Using Titan engines, which have proven to be cheap to produce and use readily available parts and technology, along with Negative Matter Pulse Drives, the DreadLord is not only deadly, but amazingly fast. The incorporation of the cheaper Prostasia armor and architecture system allows amazing redundancy while keeping costs low.
Few Federal vessels had the capabilities to fully assault planets, thus, the DreadLord was equipped with special planetary combat utilities and vehicles.
Physical Description
Hailed by many as an evil vessel designed for dark deeds the DreadLord stays true to its name. The jagged edges of the vessel are accentuated by a forward, smooth curve producing the bow of the ship. Like the Gunship design, the forward portion tapers to a perfect degree to allow immense forward firepower.
The engines of the vessel are buried deep within an armored housing, the exhaust ports are barely even visible from the rear of the craft. Unlike the Thanatos or Gunship, there are no top structures on the DreadLord, giving it somewhat more streamlined appearance.
The forward Confessor is located within a jagged compartment much like the Thanatos’s. This sharp protrusion can be retracted to allow superior protection of the weapon. Like the Gunship’s “reaper”, the DreadLord’s is located under the prow in a specially reinforced housing. The main cannon may be rotated to the same degree as its brother.
Like the Gunship design, the DreadLord has a false bridge that acts as the primary sensors node. Like its brother, there are two bridges. The primary bridge is fore most and located within the heavily reinforced nose of the vessel. The secondary is located aft more. As is custom, the main staff are split between the two bridges.
Technology Explained
Federal Assault Craft
The Federal Assault Craft are the Federacy’s answer to ground assault. Much like former Imperial assault barges, the FAC’s are designed to enter atmosphere and deploy large quantities of ground troops.
These new landing craft are roughly twenty-five meters long and use older mustang assault engines to achieve their mobility. Their shields consist of Cling-class QuadIon technology and their armor is Prostasia classed.
Stats follow:
Weapons:
2 Firestorm Missile Launchers
1 Multi-purpose Burrower Missile Launcher
4 Laser Gatlings
Generator: Miniature Quantum Gravitic
Storage:
500 troopers, 200 Droids
20 Main Combat Mechas
40 Heavy Combat Suits
4 Mobile Howitzers
8 Anti-air Sleds
Quick drop ramps allow rapid deployment of the stored forces. Furthermore, drop troopers can be launched as the craft descends using their own drop packs.
Federal Marines
Federal Marines are a specialized branch of the Stormtroopers. New stormtrooper armor designed for heavy planetary and ship based fighting has been produced along the lines of the mobile infantry heavy armor.
These troopers interact using the neural cognition interface system. Unlike Mobile Infantry, Federal Marines cannot enter atmosphere with their suits and only have limited oxygen storage for underwater or space combat.
Federal Marines use large caliber Sevon Rifle, Co. Revenge Assault Rifles. These new rifles utilize compact packets of energy designed to shred through standard armor. Each packet consists of a plasma center laced with cubatom destructive ions. Snipers use Sevon Rifle, Co. SpireShot rifles. Each rifle fires a dense, compact beam of destructive ions designed to rip through flesh and heavy armor alike. Heavy assault units have a small laser gatling designed for personal use.
