Technology (Quick Reference Guide) *IGNORE*

-Plasma - Relies on a Plasma Fuel Source, while offers superior speed to previous technologies is still limited by requiring ships to be refueled.  Larger advantages to bigger ships who can carry larger amounts of fuel.  

Considered to be the first step for massive space exploration and expansion.

STS - Ship to Ship

STS JRAMx(a) - 1st Generation Missiles designed to attack ships, is equipped with low homing ability designed to be used against larger ships.  (a) designates a number where the number is how many salvos that are fired at the same time from specific weapon.

Most of the weapon is dedicated to explosive charge.

STS ARM (a) - 1st Generation, Anti Fast Attack Craft and Missile Point Defense System.  Designed to be used against small maneuverable craft and missiles.  (a) designates a number where the number is how many salvos that are fired at the same time from specific weapon.

Most of the weapon is dedicated to advanced tracking and speed.  Weapon can be set to auto, causing the weapon to automatically select unfriendly targets and engage, until ammo is depleted.

STS THRAX - 1st Generation, Cannon, Fires Smart Shells with limited homing that attempt to pierce and detonate behind armor.

STS ERTHRAX - 2nd Generation, Cannon, Has greater range then THRAX but is much larger and can only be mounted on battleships.  Shells are larger and are more destructive.

APW - Anti Plantary Weapon

APW THRAX - 1st Generation, Cannon, Fires at Sensor Locked Coordinates to perform planetary bombardment.  THRAX Cannons take this designation when they are loaded with APW shells.

APW ERTHRAX - 2nd Generation, Cannon, Fires at Sensor Locked Coordinates to perform planetary bombardment.  ERTHRAX Cannons take this designation when they are loaded with APW shells.

Note that ERTHRAX are larger and have greater range and destructive capabilities.

APW Drake - Fires Large Incendiary Explosives to ground, surrounded a area in firey goo....

X - Experimental Designation

X - Heat-ray - Not much is known about this experimental technology.

NTTA - Nano Translusive Titanium Alloy, 1st Generation Armor Technology used by the Allied Nations, Absorbs multiple munition types, provides deflection to energy based attacks, EMP Resistant to Class 3. Used as a outter Hull on ships, Space Stations, and Important Planetary Facilities.

Pros: Good Protection against most attacks
Cons: Heavy

Hand - This means the item is produced in a non factory setting and done by large teams of specialists... Extremely costly.

Nano Forge - A recent discovery from the human Mega Corps...
A Nano Forge with instructions from a computer, sends out instructions to Nano Bots that begin to construct the object, raw materials are consumed during the process, the computer calculates what is needed to construct a object and prepares the necessary raw materials or finished goods.

It is said a Nano Forge big enough could construct large ships.  The Mega Corps are said to be constructing such facilities under the code name Space Forges, which are large Nano Forge Complexes with multiple Assembly lines.  The costs of such facilities are said to be unimaginable..
