The NeoRoman Dominion

OOC: This is for In-Character descriptions of the NeoRoman Empire, from Culture to History to Government to Technology

IC: The NeoRoman Dominion is a technologically advanced race of humanoids based on the super-planet NeoRome. Claiming to be descendants of the Romans who existed prior to them, who were in turn descendents of the Old Romans of Earth, they have a rich culture revolving around efficiency, science, and productivity. They take pride in advanced technology and devices, and use new knowledge to every extent. They are also rich in culture, with music, arts, literature, and entertainment, which benefits from their long-standing policy of free speech.

Technology:

Graiv Field Generator

A highly advanced shield and cloaking field generator, this utilizes a intense magnetic and electromagnetic field to shield or cloak the ship. Shielding is common technology, but cloaking is something else entirely. It bends gravity using this field so that most light flows around the field and heads in it's original course on the other side of the ship. Only very select frequencies of various wavelengths are allowed through the field, allowing minimal outside detection and allows the ship to still see and act. It can also completely eliminate all frequencies from entering the field, which renders it entirely invisible but completely blind.


Energy Field Nullifier

A more recent technology, this device creates a field in any given area to completely nullify or dampen certain kinds of energy and interaction. It uses more energy than the graiv field, but dramatically extends the lifetime of any object. When activated, it drains the target area of unwanted energy until only certain interactions are possible, such as electrical flow or mechanical movement. Any other energy is siphoned off and released outside the field. This can remove kinetic energy from air and make it perfectly stable, removing friction damage to electronics. It can remove heat from engine or cooling systems. It can essentially make the lifetime of any object nearly infinite. It can't shield itself, but it can shield others, is expensive and requires rare materials, and the energy draw increases exponentially as the field and objects inside the field get bigger. This is standard in research laboratories, as it allows for the testing of one situation without outside forces such as wind or dust or heat from affecting the results. It allows for very compact computers without the need for expensive cooling equipment. It allows for the preservation of any organic being inside the field indefinitely, by slowing down aging and rotting energies. It's very versatile!

Unfortunately, some of the materials required are very hard to get, including Neutrinos, Dark Matter, and Antimatter. New ways are being explored to get these materials, but until these are proven and in place, these units will be very few and extremely expensive.


Harmonic Wave Cannon

This weapon system, used in the civil war that gave birth to NeoRome, is a very efficient and very powerful weapon system. The core creates highly focused infrared waves that build up in a central prism until it reaches critical energy levels, where it emits the infrared waves in four streams in four directions. As the waves exit, harmonizers balance the beams very slightly so that all the waves are in tune with each other, drastically improving focus and decreasing beam dropoff. Based on range, the mirrors adjust to focus the beams on a central point. At the central point, the infrared waves dramatically heat up the point in a very short amount of time. Based on the material, it explodes or vaporises, causing massive damage and heat shock to the surrounding material. As it fires, the mirrors spin around the central core, allowing for sustained fire of the beam and for movement of the beam once firing starts. This allows for a large swath of area to be hit by the beam. It is still in use today, and much larger and efficient versions of the Civil War ones are standard in every major ship.


Much more to come as I come up with ideas!

450 meters makes a Super-Dreadnought? Seems a bit small, don't you thinK?

Then again, your system is fail.

Again, to quote frost: "I'm not positive you will be able to make a [sic] shit 1 km in length"
So.
Yeah.

super dread should be 800 Blks.

Modified block length stuff.

Currently working on history bio. Would have been done by now if cat hadn't hid delete button.

Go cat!

Systems based on length are a fallacy ever since Jedi made his troll-ship.

As far as I know, there were 5 or 6 cores that increased in the amounts of blocks they could support. And no one wanted to attach names to these cores, so everyone here would best list their ships as follows:

400 Tier1 core ships

250 Tier2 core ships

130 Tier3 core ships

50 Tier4 core ships

10 Tier5 core ships

I hope that tier one is 400+ as i plan on having a ship that is 1.5 km long....

fr0st said he's not sure ships will even get past 1000. That's for the best, anyway. Personally I'd much rather have many 300 m ships flying about and creating massive firefights then two 1 km dreadnoughts just warping in and fighting, creating massive lag and having little to no entertainment value whatsoever.

As would I. Welcome to the club! The secret handshake is <CLASSIFIED>, and the password is "Give me more Super Star Destroyers".

300km? Why not 800km?




I like potatoes.

Is it ok if TELLrim uses the Romans as our decedents as well, with TELLrim's ancestors breaking off in a Civil war that TELLrim flounders in, and rather than lose, they flee to unknown space?

The purpose of this is explain why we both have Roman roots in our civilization.

I'll include you in my Civil War that split the Old Romans and the NeoRomans. You fled the systems fearing utter destruction of your state.

Now for the actual Civil War

During the Era of Stability, the Old Romans were experimenting with a technology that had the power to destroy worlds. It was classified level Pho. They were test firing it on some asteroids, large ones, when a control malfunctioned and the laser missed the asteroid by several feet. The beam was meant to falloff after a few hundred KM, but they underestimated the power level's capacity. It was set to 9001 at the time, the max being 91849183047. Although a small miss is no problem on a planet, in space it's disastrous. The beam hit the planet Graunch, a population of 15 Billion, and the planet threw itself apart as the molecules burst apart (Think Doctor Device from Enders Game). As news spread on the attack, several governments severly questioned Old Rome's intentions and morals. They denied any affliation with the incident. The provincial government of the Beta Aquile system announced that it has broken away and formed a new empire, due to the atrocious actions of the National Government. On the day they fell the Old Roman flag and raised the new one, the Super-Weapon fired again, aimed directly at Beta Aquile's star. The star went Nova, killing some 29 Billion Souls on assorted planets in the system.

Things escalated quickly after that. Many systems revolted against the Empire, and the Romans kept destroying planets until the weapon was destroyed by rebelling officers aboard the station. The sides were drawn, people were drafted, and the Civil War began. The Loyalists fielded some 5 fleets of about 121 warships each to attack the five main Rebel Outposts. Badly outnumbered and outgunned, the Rebels formed 4 Rag-Tag fleets from captured ships. The first fleet, the The Beta Aquile Revenge was made up of survivors of the Beta Aquile destruction. Their flagship was the Ragnarov, the very same ship Emperor Fenway now commands. They used hit and run tactics, surrounding enemy fleets then escaping before they could muster a counter-attack. They also relied on human error, such as blockading a planet with hulks of unfinished or useless ships to fool the enemy.

The Loyalists attacked Talrim first, cutting through the weak defenses like a hot knife through butter. Once in orbit around the planet, they demanded the rebels to stand down or be destroyed. They refused. The Marlin, the flagship of the Loyalist Fleet, ordered Nuclear Bombardment of the planet. Ships began fleeing in droves, miners, civilians, ex-military, anyone in danger. The loyalists picked off every single one. The Proton Pixel Rebel fleet warped in as the second planet was bombarded and quickly engaged the Loyalists. With their attention focused on the fleet, the inhabitants of the planet were able to escape to another system. It was the bloodiest battle of the war. Nearly 300 Loyalist ships, including two dreadnaughts, engaged about 200 outdated Rebel ships. Neither side won, but it was a major blow to the Loyalists. Seeing the Rebel's suppsoed victory and weakness of the Loyalists, several other neutral systems revolted and began the full-scale war against the Empire. The Civil War had really begun.

January 28, Year 2
Supreme Commander Jerico is killed along with the destruction of the Super-Dreadnaught Haxus. Loyalist fleet movements become erratic and badly planned with his departure. Rebel forces decisively take several systems. His last words: You may win, but you will not be able to repair the damage you brought upon yourselves.
April 2, Year 2
All loyalist planets have been captured and minimal forces remain. The Rebel Forces win, but they have the task of rebuilding the devestated empire and caring for the people in it. Some systems secede and become independent, knowing the Rebels cannot fight them. Super-Planet Duran is nearing planetary collapse from instability, and work begins on turning this radioactive ruin into the heart of the new empire: NeoRome

Fenway, that is epic.



Feels like it could have genuinely happened in a history textbook, no side is overpowered and there's some gray, at that! Really, really, good show chap.

Can't see picture.

And thank you good sir. I made this in the space of half an hour.

Maybe more NeoRoman stories and such..,

Have you ever thought about being a writer Fenway? Because that is one he*l of a job.

That is pretty freaking awesome.

Thanks for the feedback!

I'm currently working on my Civilization's Tech Tree. NeoRome is advanced but not that advanced, so I get a boost in Fusion and structural technology for it to exist. Other stuff will fall under other catagories.

Tech tree inbound!

Electronic

Spoiler:

Material

Spoiler:

Energetic

Spoiler:

Tactical/Civilian

Spoiler:

I hope I balanced it enough. Only super advanced stuff is Energy Tech. 'Tis my specialization, as NeoRome = Giant Reactor with Pieces of Planet floating around it.

Current Government income: 3,812,000,000 Roms Monthly. 1 Rom is about 2.5 Galactic Credits, which is the Standard Currency.

Government Spending: 20% Government Income to FTL Warp Drive Research, 20% to Material Collection Research, 20% to Structural Technology Research, 20% to Upkeep and Government Projects, 10% to Fleet Construction, 10% Saved for Later Use

Research is also privately funded by wealthy individuals who will benefit from the new technology. FTL Warp Tech- High Investment. Material Collection- Moderate Investment. Structural Technology-Low Investment.

How I imagine NeoRome, though it's probly just me.

It kind of looks like New York City but futureish.

are you imagining sending in atmofighters?

Your picture= Precisely. Replace that water with air and make them floating, and you got it exactly. Oh, and Blue light coming from those spaces.

Probably some more fire, too. Seems the place gets sacked every other week
