    Owned Territory:

    The B.R.S. owns a small dwarf star system called Freedoms Hope by it's inhabitants. It consists of the broken husk of a earth sized planetoid wich is the main colony of the Souverenity. After the Battle of Styx, the population of those refugees exploded thanks to their advanced genetical technologie. In one year the population grew from 2000 to nearly 500.000 and is still growing. Half a year after the battle the Souverenity launched two colonization fleets into the blackness of space to find another Home for the fast growing Souverenity. The System contains several small to large Asteroids wich have all some sort of Habitat or Station on them.

    Owned Installations:
    An abandoned researchstation in an dense asteroid field 2 LY away from Freedoms Hope.
    The Habitats and Stations inside of Freedoms Hope.

    Available Assets:
    Home Defense Fleet made of 50 Ships of various sizes controlled by the mighty Fleetcarrier B.R.S. Flügel des Drachen. (Not used in the RP just for historical referenze or if it will be needed but will take some long time to build the ships ;P)

    Researchfleet Silverdragon The fleet was colored green and white to honor the first descendands of earth Alexander Darion encountered. He still hopes he will meet the men and women of the JPF again to make a proper first contact.

    Two colonization fleets made up of one Prospector Class Mothership and their auxillary vessles.

    Unique Technology:

    The GMU:

    The GMU is an advanced piece of technologie and is wide spread around the ships of the B.R.S. Fleet. Every ship with the right form comes with a small to large array of this unit. The small arrays cover an radius of 75 meters around the ship and are able of defleckt most ballistic weaponry and can manipulate most objects inside the field to be used as an projectile or additionnal shielding. Example: Catch an small asteroid and hurl it into your enemy or move it in front of your ships. The small GMU uses two extendabel pylons on the sides or the bottom and top of the ship. They need an Knight grade A.I. to be fully functional.

    The medium GMU has a radius of 100 meters around the ship and is capabel of the same things as the small GMU's only that they are much more powerfull and can withstand much more incoming fire before the GMU has to be recalibrated. This will often be used on cargo vessels and ships inside dense asteroid fields to clear a path for the ship itself. A medium GMU needs a Paragon grade A.I. to be fully functional and consists of two bigger and armored pylons on the sides or the top and bottom of the ship.

    The large GMU has a radius of 150 meters around the ship and is the most powerfull version of the GMU so far. Its gravitational field is strong enough to pull or push even other ships or crush smaller ships inside the field with its immense gravitational force. It's even capabel of bend beam based weaponry and it needs a Demigod grade A.I. to be fully functional. The Large GMU needs four pylons on the sides and the top and bottom of the ship wich are heavy armored.

    A.I. Technology:
    All A.I. in the Souverenity are totaly self aware and are granted full citiesenship among the people of the Souverenity. A.I.'s are programmed in need or if two A.I.'s decide to have an offspring wich are created out of the codes of both "parents". Every A.I. starts as a Peasant grade A.I. with limited processing power and abilitys but are granted higher grades based on their behavior and usefullness. Demigod A.I. are the most powerfull A.I. wich are created in the Souverenity. They have enough power and processing capabilitys to affect the real world. They command ships or work as teachers in the scientific institutes of the Souverenity. No A.I. is like the other and they have their own personality and behavior.

    Genetical Manipulation:
    Technology obtained from the creators of this Race has granted the Souverenity to freely controll the aging speed of their offspring. After Hatching it only takes about six month for a Newborn to become an Adult and such Adulthood is not determined by age but by personality. Most of the Newborn are like normal childs but a change in their brain structure let them mature faster then Human Childs. The aging Process will be slowed after the physical body is that of an Adult to ensure an normal life time.

    Construction Nanites:
    The B.R.S. uses nanite technology to build and recycle everything they need wich is why they could build several fleets in only one year after they founded their colony. The old Ships of the Refugee fleet for example are now the foundation of the Colony.

    Subspace Jumpdrive:
    The Subspace Jumpdrive is the FTL traveling method of the B.R.S. and is used on every ship in the B.R.S. Fleet wich is big enough to fit one of those engines. The Jumpdrive opens some sort of anomaly in front of the ship where the ship travels through to enter Subspace. The Subspace connects everything in the Galaxy but Space has no real meaning inside a Subspace Tunnel. It alows the B.R.S. to quickly travel between Starsystems in relativly short time. To move inside a Subspace Tunnel it only requiers a ship to use it's Sublight Engines and so some Ship convoys use one Ship to open portals while the other Ships follow through the open portal. This is often used by transport vessels to save space for cargo that could'nt normaly be loaded becouse of limited space. Some Systems have anomalys wich interfere with the Subspace Jumpdrive. To Jump away from those Systems a jumpnode must be found where a subspace portal can be opend without danger. (For optical reference just look up Freespace Subspace jump on google pictures or some Freespace Wikis to get a good picture of a Subspace Jump.) The B.R.S. refuses to use this Jumpdrive as a weapon becouse the opening of the portal can not be stopped and would rip ships apart if a portal would be opened inside of another ship but after the portal is open it only closes if the ship that opend it travels through it wich would result in the destruction of both ships and the B.R.S. is not ready to pay such a price.

    Efficient Construction:
    Everything in the B.R.S. is build to fit their size. So it's no wonder that their technologie is also realy small. Reactors, Weapons, Ships, all of them have normaly half the size of the Human equivalent but have the same Punch or Power. A Cruiser of the Souverenity may be just as big as an human frigate but it's armed, armored and manned like a human cruiser. Wich means for humans, and other taller species, it's realy difficult to use a B.R.S. Computer or a Weapon and also makes it harder to board a B.R.S. Ship. Strangely enough the Dragons of the B.R.S. are capabel and sometimes willing to produce bigger versions of their technologic goods or reconfigure their ships to make it easier to bring bigger life forms aboard. Some A.I. controlled Ships have no space for living beings at all and use the space wich is given to them to absolute perfection. There is also no life support on the A.I. Ships only if it is needed then it will be constructed by nanobots.

    Plasma based weaponry:
    The Weapons of the B.R.S. are hybrids of kinetik and plasma based weaponry. A Melter-Type Plasma Missile contains two payloads. First a explosiv warhead to weaken enemy armor and an tank of super heated plasma-gel. The gel sticks to enemy armor and eats itself through the armor to destroy subsystems or just eat big holes into the enemy ship. Woodfire-Rounds for Anti-Fighter weapons are based on a similiar conzept. The bullet contains a small plasma reservoir inside of it wich is set free after hiting a small ship to destroy vital systems or melt the pilot away if it hits the cockpit. Skyfire Rounds are the same but they use a much bigger storage of the heated plasma-gel. They are used for direkt fire on enemy capital ships with shields. The Round itself cant penetrate the shield of a ship but the plasma-gel will get stuck on energy shielding and will eat away the power of the shield until the shield goes down or the plasma is cooled of. It takes about 30 seconds to loose the complete heat of the plasma and after that it's completly harmless. This is true for all plasma based weapons of the B.R.S.

    Second Skin Pressure Suit (S.S.P.S.):
    The S.S.P.S. is a highly developed kind of space suit wich is the standard clothing on board of B.R.S. Ships. Every Crewman wears one and they are equiped with manouvering thrusters on the wing covers and ballistic stopping armorplating. Every Suit has a live support function even thou the Dragons of the B.R.S. are capable to survive in open space for around 30 minutes before it becomes lethal. There are three versions of the suit, the standard version wich is worn by the crew of every space ship, the soldier version wich is, as the name states, worn by soldiers on bord bigger crafts and the spec ops version wich is granted for some individuals inside some soldier squads. The Suit covers the complete body and is sealed against the vacuum of space. The suit looks like a medival plate armor when fully closed.

    Hard Light Blade:
    The Name of the weapon just comes from it's appearance, a Blade made of Light. Actually the Weapon is made of an monomolecular edged holo-blade that is produced by a projector and generator device on the forarm of the wielder. It cut's through the most things like a hot knife through butter.

    The standard version is equiped with:
    -ballistic cover plating (like kevlar but more durable)
    -life support systems
    -a side-arm (mostly a needle gun wich fires small ballistic darts either with a small plasma capsule -inside or tranquilizer darts) in one of the Gauntlets.
    -An holographic interface to be used by an A.I.
    -An A.I. neural connection point and an A.I. NeuroNet system that alows A.I. up to Knight grade to be installed inside of such a Suit.
    -Manouvering thrusters in the Wingcovers.

    The soldier version is equiped with:
    -reinforced cover plating (even more durable armor plating wich defend against ballistic and most energy based firearms)
    -life support systems
    -a side-arm (see standard version)
    -various other weapons: The soldier version is highly customable and every soldier takes several other weapons with him. The maximum amount of weapons on each soldier is three becouse the suit can't support more then three different weapons.
    -one or two hard light blades: close combat energy based weapons wich are used to cut open blast doors, ship hulls, enemys or food cans.
    -an holographic interface to be used by an A.I.
    -An A.I. neural connection point and an A.I. NeuroNet system that alows A.I. up to Knight grade to be installed inside of such a Suit.
    -Manouvering thrusters in the Wingcovers and Boots.

    the Spec Ops version is equiped with:
    -reinforced cover plating (even more durable armor plating wich defend against ballistic and most energy based firearms)
    -thermal and electromagnetic shielding (to prevent detection from sensors)
    -life support systems
    -a side-arm (see standard version)
    -one Slot for a special weapons or ECM equipment.
    -one dark light blade: this is a variant of the hard light blade. The difference between the two weapons is that the dark light blade can't be seen by human eye's becouse the blade works outside the viewable light spectrum of a human.
    -an advanced holographic interface to be used by an A.I wich can also be used as optical camoflage.
    one infiltrator hacking computer.
    -an A.I. neural connection point and an A.I. NeuroNet system that alows A.I. up to Knight grade to be installed inside of such a Suit.
    -manouvering thrusters in the Wingcovers and Boots.

    Historical Notes:
    The Dragons of the Souverenity have their origin on Earth. Millions of Years Ago a space faring race obtained some lizards from the prehistoric earth and changed them into something wich Humans would call Dragons. The average size of one of those Dragons is about one meter (3.3 feet) from Head to Toe and they walk on two legs. They have four fingers, one of them is a thumb, on each hand and real wings on their back wich are used to fly around. The Dragons of the Souverenity have bronze-hued scales wich cover their complete body. The lifespan of those small Lizards is about twohundred Earth Years. Unlike their size, their strenght outclasses that of a normal human and they are able to carry a weight wich is equal to three times their own weight.

    Their Language is composed of different kind of Snarls, Growls and other more animalistic noises wich is why they use a complicated translation matrix to form those noises into spoken words wich results sometimes in some wierd translation and wrong gramma in their words. It also is a visible feat of them since their lipsync to their spoken words is most of the time off. Their original Language isn't heared during the time they talk in person to someone since the Technology they use to translate their words counters the soundwaves released from the Dragons and so it sounds like they would just talk normaly.
    ((Thanks to Levits for making this Picture of my Dragons! He totaly nailed it!

    ))

    The Souverenity consists mostly of Refugees of a Rebelion in their old home. They all served as protectors of scentient beeings wich are not ready for threads from outer space. This Protectors where called the Order of Sol Protection but after most races have become space travelers themselfs the Order stopped their work and became an giant diktatorial monster. The Rebels fled after a giant battle at their home world and are now settled down in the system of Freedoms Hope.

    While they where traveling beyond the Stars they discovered their origin of earth and some of the Dragons of the Fleet accustomed themselfs with the human race wich they where watching from afar and some of them took human names and enjoy human culture such as music or meals and sports.


    If you wan't to take a closer look at the Ships of the B.R.S. here you can find them. https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198000719695/myworkshopfiles/
    and even though they are build in Space Engineers the ships outer size is 1:1 scale but the interior isn't becouse of reasons. I would have to build them with small ship blogs and yeah not going to happen :D

    The Heart and Brain of the Fleet: The B.R.S. Drachenherz
    Class name:
    B.R.S. Drachenherz, light CnC class Command Cruiser

    Ship Class:
    Command and Controll Cruiser

    Image link:
    [​IMG]


    Mission Role:
    Flagship; Medium Fleet Coordination; Support Fire and Fleet Protection

    Weapons Loadout:
    12x Plasma Gatling Turrets
    2x reloadable multitube Missilelauncher
    Stored Munitions:
    Melter Type Plasma Missiles (Anti-Armor and Anti-Subsystem Warhead)
    Woodfire Rounds (Anti-Fighter Plasmarounds for Gatling Turrets)
    Skyfire Rounds (Heavy Anti-Ship Rounds for Gatling Turrets)

    Defensive Capabilities:
    Standard Armor
    GMU (Gravitational Manipulation Unit)

    Special Equipment:
    GMU (Gravitational Manipulation Unit)
    Hangar Bay (carries two unarmed Shuttlecraft for personal transport and four drill drones for archeologic missions)
    Fireborn Soldier Squad: 20 Dragons under the command of Squadleader Tash Dars. All of them wear the solder version of the S.S.P.S.
    Soulsister Soldier squad: 20 Dragons,all female, under the command of Squadleader Sylvia Harper. All of them wear the solder version of the S.S.P.S.

    Additional Notes: The ship is much smaller then an actual cruiser sized vessel but is listed as a cruiser in the fleet of the B.R.S. This is becouse of the smaller nature of the crew of that ship. It houses two A.I.'s in seperated cores. Nia is the main A.I. and overlooks most of the ships systems while Narask just does his own buisness. The Drachenherz has no combat drones in his hangar bay becouse the mission of the ship is to help with an excavation and doesn't expect any hostilitys that would need those drones.

    B.R.S. Cheana and Seraz: The two Sisters.

    Class name: Drachling Class Frigate

    Image link:
    [​IMG]
    Mission Role: Point Defense, escort duties;

    Weapons Loadout:
    6x Plasma Gatling Turrets; small GMU
    2x MK 4 Variable Fighter(Standard)
    1x Project Infinity (on occasion)
    1x Shuttle (on occasion)

    Stored Munitions:
    Woodfire Rounds (Anti-Fighter Plasmarounds for Gatling Turrets)
    Skyfire Rounds (Heavy Anti-Ship Rounds for Gatling Turrets)

    Defensive Capabilities:
    Small GMU;
    Standard ship armor

    Special Equipment:
    Small GMU;

    Knight grade A.I.

    Additional Notes: After the Events of Canon-Rei the Fleetmaster of the Silverdragon Research Fleet decided to upgrade the Drachling Class Corvettes. Since B.R.S. Ships are normaly smaller then their Human sized counterparts the Fleetmaster decided to also change the Class designation of the Drachling Class to Frigate since the Ships where already as large as Human Corvettes.
    The Upgrade relocated the Turrets on the Drachling Class and gave it more Upward Firepower while lowering the downwards and sidewards firing abilits. As a conter to this they equiped the Drachling Class with a small Hangar Bay wich holds up to two MK 4 Variable Fighters, the Project Infinity or one Shuttle. The Crew compartment got an raise too, bringing the Crew count from 20 to 50 to man the additional now integrated stations like Flight Controll and Fighter Maintance.

    OOC Note: The Picture isn't accurate because i haven't made one atm of the Armed Version of the new Drachling Class AKA Cheana/Seraz Ships.

    The Soul of the Fleet: The B.R.S. Drachental
    Class name: Dragons lair class cargo transporter

    Image link: [​IMG]
    Mission Role: Cargo transport

    Weapons Loadout:
    medium GMU

    Stored Munitions: -

    Defensive Capabilities:
    medium GMU

    Special Equipment:
    medium GMU,

    Paragon grade A.I. Liszak

    Additional Notes: The Drachental Transporter was build to supply the Silverdragon Research Fleet. It hauls around the Supplys of the Fleet as well additional Material and spare Parts for extensive repairs or to feed the ever hungry Project Infinity. As the only Ship with an medium GMU in the Fleet at the Moment it has a special Spot inside of the Fleet in keeping the unshielded and unarmored B.R.S. Wissensdurst alive while the other Ships in the Fleet fight in a Battle. It is equiped with 4 Universal Docking Ports to supply not only B.R.S. Ships with spare Ammunition (if needed) but also other Ships wich makes it rather handy in a multi-faction operation. It can also Re-Arm and Refuel small Ships through those ports since they can extend quite a wide range to alowe small Ships of different Sizes to get Supplies.

    The curiosity of the Fleet: The B.R.S. Wissensdurst
    Class name: Researcher class science carrier.

    Image link:
    [​IMG]

    Mission Role: Research and drone transport

    Weapons Loadout: -

    Stored Munitions: -

    Defensive Capabilities:
    Standard ship armor

    Special Equipment:

    Special scanning equipment to scan dense asteroid fields and planetoids.

    2x Rockeater class excavation drones (basicly 2 drills with engines and some cargo space)

    4x Eye in the sky class camera drones (BRS Dragon sized camera drones... Cameras with engines basicly)

    2x shooting star shuttles. (simple passanger shuttle for 6 BRS Dragons or three humans and a BRS Dragon Pilot)

    Demigod grade A.I. Askor.

    Demigod grade A.I. Karaster.

    Additional Notes: The B.R.S. Wissensdurst is a rather odd ship. It is classified as a Carrier but it's far from capable to be used as one. It is more of a mobile Research Station with a Jumpdrive. It's interior is used to outmost perfection by the two Demigod A.I. that call the Wissensdurst their home. No place for biological beings except for some small maintance shafts and normaly not outfitted with Lifesupport Systems. Due to the advanced method of ship tailoring and construction of the B.R.S. the two A.I. are able to change the Interior for every situation as they desire. Sometimes they need more Space for Samples or Material and at some point they need more Energy for their Sensor Equipment. Then the two A.I. change the inside of the Ship on the Fly to adapt it's use for their field of working. The Wissensdurst has the strongest and most advanced Sensor and observation Technology the Dragons can muster and it can be used, as seen in Canon-Rei, to monitor Star Systems from about 10 Ly away with ease. The Wissensdurst also houses two Shuttles for various situations and purposes. Some times the Wissensdurst brings Scientists that reside aboard the Drachenherz over for research or analysing Samples and some times it just lends her shuttles to the other Ships in the Fleet for personal Transport.
    And even if the Wissensdurst isn't a Combat Craft it still can provide crucial information during a Fight since it's Sensor equipment can be linked between the Ships to provide them with Data on Ship movements, Shield status, armament of different ships and even crew strenght. Another major difference to the other Ships in the fleet, with the exception of the three new Corvettes, is that it is capable of safely overloading his jumpdrive to archieve insane traveling speed. Normaly a B.R.S. Ship flys with 1 LY per Minute in Subspace but given that the Wissensdurst houses no complex biological beings inside her she can travel even faster and can reach destinations far away in mere hours where other, Dragon manned Ships, would take days or weeks of travel.

    The roaring thunder of the Fleet: The B.R.S. Drachenfeuer II

    Ships: B.R.S. Drachenfeuer II
    Class name:
    Drachenfeuer Class Carrier Refit

    Ship Class:
    Carrier

    Image link:
    [​IMG]


    Mission Role:
    Long Range Bombardment, Fighter Operations

    Weapons Loadout:
    8x reloadable multitube long range Missilelauncher

    -Secret Technology-

    Stored Munitions:
    Melter Type Plasma Missiles (Anti-Armor and Anti-Subsystem Warhead)




    Defensive Capabilities:
    Standard Armor
    Large GMU (Gravitational Manipulation Unit)
    Special Equipment:
    Large GMU (Gravitational Manipulation Unit)
    Hangar Bay (Carries 2 Squads a 5 Variable Fighters and Project Infinity aboard as well two unarmed Shuttlecraft for Personal Transport)
    Demigod Grade A.I.

    Additional Notes:
    The Drachenfeuer Class was once a Scout Carrier but it got a refittet version after the Silverdragon Researchfleet has departed. The First Ship of it's class the Drachenfeuer II Is the Backbone of Project Infinity. An Project to re-use lost technology.
    The Drachenfeuer Class Refit is now a full fledged carrier but lacks some weaponry. It has no Point defense turrets and it weights it's defense only on the large GMU of the Ship. Also it is vulnerable from the front after the Athmosphäric Barrier of the Hangar Bay is down. If a warhead would find it's way into the Fighter Bay it could travel all the way through to the engine room and criple the whole ship.

    The newest additions: The B.R.S. Ikaruga, B.R.S. Gradius and B.R.S. R-Type
    Class Name: Hatchling Class Corvette

    Image:
    [​IMG]

    Mission Role: Escort Duties, Fast Attack Craft, Scouting.

    Weapons Loadout:
    4x Plasma Gatling Turrets; small GMU
    2x Rapid Fire Plasma Missile Launcher
    Stored Munitions:
    Woodfire Rounds (Anti-Fighter Plasmarounds for Gatling Turrets)
    Skyfire Rounds (Heavy Anti-Ship Rounds for Gatling Turrets)
    Melter Type Plasma Missiles.

    Defensive Capabilities:
    Small GMU;
    Reinforced ship armor

    Special Equipment:
    Small GMU;

    Knight grade A.I.

    Additional Notes:
    After Canon-Rei and the re-enlist the Drachling Class as a Frigate, Fleetmaster Darion decided to add three new Corvette Class Ships to the Fleet. Since the Drachling Class was already ment for Point Defence, those Corvettes would be used with a more offensive function. Jokingly called "Pocket Cruisers" by the Dragons, the Hatchling class features Cruiser Class Weaponry and Armor in a rather small Frame paired with the speed of much smaller ships. The Hatchling Class features heavier Armor then most Ships in the Fleet since their Role makes it more likely for the GMU to get shot down. Those Ships are roughly half the Size of a Drachling Class Frigate and can compete with much larger opponents especialy when they work together with Fighter Craft or with the Cover of larger Ships. Also they are often Used for a Tripple-M pattern Missile Barrage where they link their Targeting Systems with the Flagship to deploy a massive amount of Plasma Missiles in a short time to decimate larger Forces with a Storm of Plasma Armed Missiles.

    Mission Role:
    Space Superiority Fighter/Ground Support

    Weapons Loadout:
    4x Plasma Gatling guns (two in the Arms, two on the Cockpit)
    2x multitube Missilelauncher
    Stored Munitions:
    Melter Type Plasma Missiles (Anti-Armor and Anti-Subsystem Warhead)
    Woodfire Rounds (Anti-Fighter Plasmarounds)


    Defensive Capabilities:
    Standard Armor
    Beam PDS System

    Special Equipment:
    Transformation Computer: The Variable Fighter is capable of changing it's Form into an Bipedal Combat Mech. In this Form it looses some of it's speed for more mobility inside a Dogfight. It also is often used for Support of Ground units becouse of it's ability to tower over the Battlefield and pick up heavy armored Targets or groups of Infantry.

    Detachable Cockpit:
    The MK 4 features a new Feature compared to the older Versions of the Variable Fighter. It Cockpit is detachable from the Main Ship to be used as a Life Boat or use some special Tactics since the main Body of the Ship can be remote controlled by it's Pilot or it's A.I. They can also be used as small Combat Vehicles on Stations since their sice is rather small.

    Beam PDS: The Beam PDS is a small point defense laser wich is controlled by the Knight grade A.I. of the Fighter. it has a high rate of fire and the Beam can acquire incoming missiles fast.

    small Subspace Drive: The Fighter is equiped with a small subspace Drive wich makes them capable of FTL Travel. It takes quite a long time to recharge and is only used on Scouting Missions or emergency retreat. The Speed is the same as the one of larger ships but it takes significantly longer to recharge.

    Additional Notes:
    The Detachable Cockpit is a straight upgrade to the Variable Fighters of the B.R.S. wich is based on experience with Project Infinity. It gives the Pilot and the A.I. more survivability and widens the field of use for the Fighter significantly.

    For Many people it looks very unusual to build a Ship, especialy a Strike Craft with a second form or an alternative Mode since it musters to many structural weaknesses or crippling blows to the manouverbility of a Ship but the B.R.S. managed to manurfacture Ships that don't suffer from those flaws. The Variable Fighters are an very Old Design and they got a second Wind of some sorts with Tash Dars Project Infinity. The Variable Fighters got upgraded with the latest tech the B.R.S. Dragons could develop and are formidable fighter crafts in the hands of their Pilots. The Fighters are capable of very daring manouvers especialy in the short transition time between Fighter and Walker mode. Pilots often use this transition Time to instantly stop their vehicle or get outside of an enemys targeting system to deliver deadly blows by themselfs. The two modes are significantly different from another. The Fighter Mode is much faster and easier to controll then the Walker mode but the Walker mode gives the Pilot new possibilitys since their Arms move freely and alowe them to hit targest more efficiently. Also they get much more agile in Walker mode since they can use the change of Mass in the Ship to make much faster evasive manouvers in unconventional ways then traditional fighter Craft.
