The flag and emblem used by the Tankium Federation

Lore

Our technology is far more advanced than other factions. Their technology usually requires far more power than other technology, but also generates a lot. This is known as high energy technology. Energy is often transported using superconductors and generated using high density antimatter reactors (the density of our ship fuel is about 10^10 kg/m^3 (very dense)). This is advantageous as it allows high power weapons, shields and thrusters.

Backup power sources include zero-point energy and matter manipulation.

Matter manipulation is turning matter into energy, storing it, and being able to use that energy to create matter. Massive amounts of energy is created from destruction of matter and massive amounts of energy is required to create (materialize) it. Matter manipulators are extremely difficult to build as dark matter is required, of which there is very little in this galaxy. A lot of regular matter is needed too. One manipulator, Manipulator Positron, is built into T.S. Positron. The others are located all over the Syndicate territory and are transported using large ships.

They also often use a type of armor known as TGX Composite which is very dense but very strong. Huge forces are required to move such heavy equipment. Their thrusters, being highly advanced, can create large amounts of particles using a lot of energy and fire them backwards at high velocity. This outputs a tremendous force, but despite this their ships aren't usually faster than from other factions due to the sheer mass of high energy technology and TGX Composite.

In terms of communications they use quantum entanglement rather than subspace signals that most factions use. However, certain ships are equipped with subspace signal devices to allow them to communicate to other factions using subspace signals.

However, high energy technology also has its downsides. It is extremely unsafe and an issue can lead to bigger issues more easily. Xsotans are also far more attracted to our ships than any other ships due to high energy emissions. Even when we don't fire turrets, the sheer energy emission of engines and certain components still attract Xsotan attention.

We arm our starships with variable weapon hardpoints, to have the possibility of equipping ships for any mission. For example, if the target has a lot of shield, powerful Thunder Cannons can be fitted. If a different mission requires the ship to defeat large numbers of smaller foes, the Thunder cannons can be easily taken off and replaced with Nano Shredder Vulcan M72s.
 

We jump from galaxy to galaxy, eliminating xsotans, pirates, corrupt factions and other immoral causes, to make each galaxy a better place for its inhabitants. This is our goal; making the entire Avorion universe a peaceful one. However, there are so many different galaxies, that not even our power can destroy every threat.

We are also a very proud faction. We have been known to declare war on some factions for making fun of us.
 

Other Information


IMPORTANT: most ships and turrets i build use parts built by other people, such as Steam user Two-Hands electronics and Black Disciple's Terran Republic radars. Other creators used commonly include Drazhill and SDK. Also many turrets i build have a limit of 500 blocks instead of 250 blocks (the default limit). To change the limit, open the file explorer and go to Users/(your user here)/Appdata/Roaming/Avorion/galaxies/(insert your galaxy name you want to change the limit on here)/server.ini and change MaximumBlocksPerTurret to 500 (or whatever you want your limit to be, set to -1 for no limit) DO NOT touch anything else, unless you know what your doing! (or do this on a new galaxy. Either is fine).

If you have any comments or feedback, say so in the comments
I also want to come up with an origins story, but theres no ETA on this.
i will edit this page every so often as i build new things

Also I am very active on the official Avorion discord, feel free to ping me (Tankium#9119) whenever.
I hope you enjoy my builds as much as i do!

Ships
 

Hyperion Class Fleet Carrier
20211111200246_1.thumb.jpg.ebfadbc34a7c49770c5a439cd949a664.jpg20211111200238_1.thumb.jpg.44dc3f710d7f8a25d38a727c733c436e.jpg20211111175256_1.thumb.jpg.6649728fd123925cfd5c78448b16477d.jpg20211111200417_1.thumb.jpg.03c1fbebca5cf92d130189aaf3787568.jpg20211111200351_1.thumb.jpg.0e7042bfc4c7155cc1c56845de0cc177.jpg20211111200330_1.thumb.jpg.a8e712f2ae5f910a5c85fae47c671a95.jpg20211111200312_1.thumb.jpg.905ef4a6c0eb44847953ec4943e1b52c.jpg
A large, 7 km long carrier. Has a lot of advanced technologies such as Trinity Nuclear warheads, a lot of turret hardpoints and 
matter manipulators. This enables it to build entire ships from very cheap materials in mere seconds. So its able to launch a full scale assault by itself.


Proton-Class Mini Carrier

20210605195723_1.thumb.jpg.d21849974b273602ad8a6c1c588ccb18.jpg20210605195702_1.thumb.jpg.c12b8a25d718f18bbc271fa00c0e3ad5.jpg20210605195644_1.thumb.jpg.f634fb74418247a5680a5564c4abb797.jpg20210605195615_1.thumb.jpg.4ffd36141e9b22568405b158d0b27091.jpg20210605195605_1.thumb.jpg.9c629787de7301d9c9ef17a1ac39fd2e.jpg
A 'small' carrier (its 2 km long). It carries an obscene amount of fighters, has a ridiculously strong shield and matter manipulators. This enables it to build entire ships from very cheap materials in mere seconds. So its able to launch a full scale assault by itself. It also carries 2 Boson Class Destroyers and has 2 Project Trinity nuclear silos. The fighter catapult is also covered with flak cannons and the ship itself uses 4 weapon points just in case it needs to use them. A force to be reckoned with.
if i was to credit everyone whos parts i used we would be here all day Two_Hands, SDK, Drazhill and Azu made most of them. Though i still made most of the ship.

Ultimatum Class Corvette
20200225145412_1.thumb.jpg.923e44b2d591f9728e72af233d69a7b1.jpg20200225145430_1.thumb.jpg.3a3ff8f768d88a451da3aadac0ee6407.jpg20200225145444_1.thumb.jpg.4a701fc0f414bad3f9ed5efb581180bf.jpg

The Ultimatum is very heavily armed for its size. It uses 8 large weapon hardpoints and 12 smaller weapon hardpoints. In these images, it has been fitted with 4 Oblivion Assault Guns, 4 Thunder Cannons and 12 Hydra Double Barrel Railguns. Due to its size, its also fast and maneuverable. This makes it effective at taking out larger ships. But also, due to its many different weapons, it can take on large groups of enemy ships too. Each weapon fires on a different enemy.



Atmospheric Frigate
20211118091804_1.thumb.jpg.a09eeb8c508c1e57230a84fedcbdf591.jpg20211118091912_1.thumb.jpg.250c9e1d2fa62bd6716b307c36d6f6ec.jpg20211118091900_1.thumb.jpg.f5a2a4acd0b94f2ebe8d62b1a2d371e5.jpg20211118091823_1.thumb.jpg.d51193897cf8bb602d957d88661419f5.jpg
Capable of both atmospheric and space flight! It is also quite fast even for a frigate and armed with 6 turret hardpoints.
 


Trebuchet Class Deep Space Railcannon

20200930171938_1.thumb.jpg.da7aca0149063b40c91d6976cdd22999.jpg20200930171801_1.thumb.jpg.acd06f549629205ddaf184c6d1adc080.jpg20200930172002_1.thumb.jpg.5bbbb90f247c8e2e24f07341c7474e53.jpg20200930171413_1.thumb.jpg.e929d560447e92a6ab1923cb0102429f.jpg
The Trebuchet is a giant railgun with an entire starship built around it. The railgun is immensely powerful, capable of propelling a 2 gigaton slug very close to the speed of light (about 0.74c). It is this power that has become a symbol of the firepower of our faction. It is strong enough to obliterate even the biggest of ships across an entire galaxy with pinpoint accuracy. However, it must reload at a station for several hours before being able to fire again.

 

 

Boson Class Destroyer
20201129173813_1.thumb.jpg.065c43aabd931903a68c5c5df18bdb76.jpg20201129175542_1.thumb.jpg.235622c8cea8f1f91b48cd6537312ec6.jpg20201129175631_1.thumb.jpg.372c00a82ea97aae2723c61926173a14.jpg20201129175559_1.thumb.jpg.77bb75d6607640b6779f8520228e792a.jpg20201129175655_1.thumb.jpg.1f8af53faf6d1cb3d353b64ada01c641.jpg20201129175732_1.thumb.jpg.326222bb8af83ad8db20c8d805cb7a7e.jpg

An incredibly fast and powerfully armed destroyer. These screenshots show it armed with (form front to back): Lance Cannon (the coaxially mounted one), Paladin Assault Laser, Thunder Cannon, Oblivion Assault Gun, Hydra Double Barrel Railgun, Photon Missile. They can also communicate to one another very effectively, so its able to coordinate its firepower on multiple enemy ships at once.
The biggest engine was built by Black Disciple.

 

Muon Neutrino

20201129084408_1.thumb.jpg.d335310a7cf085ae55570f128d18fc10.jpg20201129084333_1.thumb.jpg.95afbb8a24e9cd86ae92fe29c0fb84e0.jpg20201129084401_1.thumb.jpg.390104da578c4fd057c69c6616b2fce2.jpg

The Muon Neutrino is a fighter armed with a powerful for its size laser cannon. Its also quite fast, being a fighter.

 

 

Tachyon Obliteration Cannon

20220318203416_1.thumb.jpg.5764efe9eef34b4d864acb8fa51e1b4c.jpg20220318202905_1.thumb.jpg.0ee7c56c4a84ca6928ba08b2c0793ad2.jpg20220318202848_1.thumb.jpg.90f45f12761c992d31a9f7d645a77d8c.jpg20220318202835_1.thumb.jpg.a724c5be1228899944bc6fc693b39028.jpg20220318202801_1.thumb.jpg.24ad955b720bf5816ed39c817312ff7f.jpg20220318202750_1.thumb.jpg.b61dc13d6fc68771abe80a97b22ee48d.jpg
The Tachyon Obliteration Cannon is an immense particle cannon with a 3 km long ship built around it as used by the Tankium Syndicate.

Tachyons are exotic particles with imaginary (the square root of a negative number) mass. They always travel at superluminal velocities (faster than the speed of light) and, oddly, gain velocity as they lose energy. Tachyons dont exist anymore but it is possible, albeit extremely difficult, to create and weaponise them

Due to their superluminal velocity they can hit targets through black holes and due to their ability to gain velocity as energy is lost they can interact with enemy armour particles an infinite amount of times (in fact the more armour present on a ship the deadlier this weapon becomes)


Tachyon cannons are extremely rare and expensive however, but are still a force to be reckoned with, especially against factions that deploy capital ships a lot.


Vector Scout

20200913104544_1.thumb.jpg.d67624186aa86878ae2572aa6cc79739.jpg20200913104556_1.thumb.jpg.1b023cc4e263014055b3037824f461f0.jpg20200913104616_1.thumb.jpg.b6a5bca5824cd884d60f824a129051b3.jpg

A scout ship that can defend itself with 2 coaxially mounted laser cannons. Cheap, and uses powerful communications equipment, it is a very effective scout. Cloaking technology is being researched which would make it a far better scout.



Decimator Class Cruiser

20210319152755_1.thumb.jpg.9fb51b117e6c30e368d8710ea08b0ce1.jpg20210319152812_1.thumb.jpg.a34754b4ab3eb1d460b529b06df25a1c.jpg20210319152839_1.thumb.jpg.16bf29b47e1550b937975f17774d4b6f.jpg20210319152909_1.thumb.jpg.2941a75cab3fb6c9f481503cc25341a4.jpg

The Decimator is a tough, well armed cruiser. Armed with a total of 14 weapon mounts, it can cause destruction to almost any target.
Can also deploy fighters from the front which is epic
My first ship that uses the replicant dreams texture pack. Also the large rear engines were made by Black Disciple. These windows were stolen from the SS Harmony by SDK.

 




Weapons


Oblivion Assault Gun

20200116210206_1.thumb.jpg.bc3efa634f6470fbd34a77df8e614f86.jpg
20200116211055_1.thumb.jpg.9ff1194b6c20cf3b05660efba7b09e40.jpg
20200117085127_1.thumb.jpg.fdf30a032a15c7ce461af319e49a90e8.jpg

The legendary Oblivion Assault Gun. The oldest weapon still in use, it will continue to be used for a good while. It is incredibly powerful and mounted on a floatation device. This makes it far more responsive than almost any other weapon. The laser cannon can reliably tear a hole in almost anything. Powerful, responsive, fast, cheap, relatively low power consumption. No wonder why its the bread and butter of firepower. And for when its not enough, they have been upgraded into many variations including the Super Oblivion Assault Gun and Red Oblivion Assault Gun.
(note from the creator: the Oblivion Assault Gun is the first ever turret i built using the dark grey and dodger blue glow style. Almost everything i build, and everything here in this thread owes its existence to this turret.)



Super Oblivion Assault Gun

20200411194154_1.thumb.jpg.e08f8726ca9f17b8ddfe372a28c73fc0.jpg

The Oblivion Assault Gun but it has 2 extra shards, to channel more energy. This makes it much more powerful but turns slightly slower, uses more power and more expensive to produce. Still a solid piece of kit. More often used against larger ships than smaller ones.


Red Oblivion Assault Gun

20200328120710_1.thumb.jpg.9c129f14983ee825ca195894cd864a03.jpg

Oblivion Assault Gun made with different technology. The Red variant causes less massive holes in enemy ships, and more fire and explosions, basically. On par with the original Oblivion Assault Gun. Also capable of melting enemy ships altogether depending on its size and the amount of time the weapon fires on it (like my pun? that was unintended).

 


Desolation Plasma Railgun

20211102135300_1.thumb.jpg.8745d6354549f60cc41e71a5247543c5.jpg
20211102100309_1.thumb.jpg.b1d316e34a17e74aaecd7761e6e0305b.jpg
20211102100500_1.thumb.jpg.d83fd39bdc86f891cc6bfad8548960c6.jpg
Its basically a railgun that, instead of firing a high velocity solid slug, fires a high velocity 'bolt' of plasma. Due to this it can sometimes melt large parts of enemy ships or pierce straight through them like a typical railgun. Sometimes it might do both. Before firing it must charge up for a few moments.


Impaler Antimatter Railgun
20210829214248_1.thumb.jpg.d384433089fdc14309561e6fe970dfeb.jpg20210829214304_1.thumb.jpg.6dc4fad43f261fa1476f1de011175e7e.jpg
20210829215819_1.thumb.jpg.42b1e0aa5d744e0efecd75872844074d.jpg

The "Impaler" Class Levitating Exotic-Superconducting Antimatter Railgun X-41, AKA Impaler Antimatter Railgun for short, is a large, extremely powerful railgun. Antimatter is used as the propellant, with an equivalent yield to about 1000 'tsar bomba' nuclear weapons (I calculated this). This isnt even including the main energy source for the round, the superconducting rails. Immense currents are sent down the rails, but, electrons are not used to carry the current, rather, a different particle with a much larger charge is used.


No ship has ever been known to withstand this.

It can also rotate quite fast and is very accurate. It also floats!

However, due to the use of large amounts of high density antimatter, should the gun itself be hit by an enemy, it will likely take every ship nearby with it due to the release of massive amounts of dangerous antimatter. It also requires a lot of energy to fire and a large amount of antimatter ship fuel which is teleported up to the gun.

It uses many very high power inertia dampeners just after firing to manage its recoil. Such a heavy slug being fired close to the speed of light creates a lot of recoil. Without them the gun would be very easily torn of its electromagnetic levitation mount.



Positron Cannon

20220205133632_1.thumb.jpg.1c5eb470b09536ca0623aa3951308368.jpg20220205133640_1.thumb.jpg.150335d608c45a0363d7105573906681.jpg20220205133708_1.thumb.jpg.1868173abee4ca18bb9d8daded339762.jpg
The Positron Cannon creates and fires positrons at enemy ships, making it extremely powerful against unshielded ships. As positrons are deflected by most fields, shields can counter them.


Hydra Double Barrel Railgun

20200209201913_1.thumb.jpg.f4495236e0479ba78b3178e562658004.jpg

A powerful railgun with 2 barrels. These are commonly used to make big holes in shieldless things. Shields can be annihilated by the powerful Thunder Cannon. They have a surprisingly high fire rate and long range. Bullets are sent down superconducting, heatproof rails along with a massive electrical current.

 


Nano Shredder Vulcan M72

20201030225859_1.thumb.jpg.c4cf5d91946d77462c55dab2222ecf0c.jpg20201030225632_1.thumb.jpg.6c4fc8dec558dd2a85dc084513028d63.jpg20201030225909_1.thumb.jpg.8944d25cdfdae534ae8696a144485c95.jpg

Probably the first ever turret built specifically for a legendary turret, the Nano Shredder Vulcan M72 is still the only turret that goes over my personal limit of 500 blocks. One of the more recent and high tech weapons of the Federation, it does not fire lasers, plasma or bullets but instead it launches nanobots to enemy ships. These nanobots are capable of moving from gun to enemy ship, even homing in on the enemy ship very effectively. Nanobots do not explode but instead cooperatively tear the ship apart. Depending on the target, only a few nanobots are needed to tear a small ship to shreds. This makes it a powerful choice for both denying massive groups of small enemies, and for shredding even capital ships, over a much longer period of time. As the nanobots just fly through shields, shields will not help against this weapon. It has an extremely short range for a Tankium weapon.
oh, and the ship in the background is Sathaerz's Scylla but painted blue (normally its green)
oh, and sorry about forgetting to hit F8 before taking the middle screenshot (F8 hides the UI).

 


Photon Missile

20210123143455_1.thumb.jpg.b7c99feab9dbdcfa1f7c70a0ce0ad8b5.jpg20210123143513_1.thumb.jpg.ea9d87980ab8210fa0e9aac89a99b770.jpg20210123143504_1.thumb.jpg.3cd4f26f41ef8eec2771eba5b1b48e36.jpg

The Photon missile is named so due to its high velocity, high energy, high explosive missiles. These are very fast and maneuverable despite their size thanks to inertia neutralizers. When one of these missiles strike an enemy ship, it causes ionization in atoms in enemy armor. This weakens or destroys chemical bonds in enemy armor. Powerful even at long range, and against both fast and large targets. New missiles are materialized after they are fired without the requirement for a Matter Manipulator. Used against fast or well armored enemy targets, to weaken enemy armor to make it far more vulnerable. They can use a multitude of different warheads including plasma, antimatter and photonic matter. A force to be reckoned with.



XR-27 Lightrifle
20211123214744_1.thumb.jpg.fb7c721ab0abef0c5d3019bc4369f9ac.jpg
The XR-27 is a very powerful hardlight bolter turret as used by the Tankium Syndicate. Capable of compressing light into a solid form, and then it fires that at high velocity. It is a very long range weapon and is very accurate. However it does have a slow fire rate.

 


Thunder Cannon

20210123143332_1.thumb.jpg.78f63f31eec5150128929d01ec0a82a2.jpg20210123143348_1.thumb.jpg.fad7ddaac6bbbe572ce2ea8877150d22.jpg20210123143426_1.thumb.jpg.f0cb41337c0799f994d8d052e9cb73d7.jpg

The primary shield shredder of the Federation. Very powerful, but does not cause as much damage to hull. Its powerful discharges come from the large array of Van De Graf generators, which produce electrical charge using friction.
the resulting blast consists of huge numbers of electrons, which shields just cannot cope with.

 


Paladin Assault Laser

20210123144757_1.thumb.jpg.f0e409132213715be21aae2590676e48.jpg20210123144813_1.thumb.jpg.2d125684506afeb6c54f90ba918b11bb.jpg20210123144733_1.thumb.jpg.819e0160a4338a8e8b04ff07751323ec.jpg

The Paladin is a more powerful laser cannon than the oblivion Assault Gun. However, it is far more expensive and less responsive. Used when very powerful lasers are required instead of cheaper, less powerful lasers.

 


Annihilator Plasma Cannon

20200407183356_1.thumb.jpg.e7240095d49a23b3e8b9b41bf837a76d.jpg20200407183449_1.thumb.jpg.8844dcd67a167b120e5b2b15d488a5f6.jpg20200407195609_1.thumb.jpg.e50cc62825c54ed2640ec6b2946c0040.jpg

A slow, high power, high recoil plasma cannon used by larger ships such as battlecruisers. Its 4 barrels carry huge amounts of firepower. The many searing bolts of plasma are bound to cause apocalyptic destruction on anything slower than a destroyer. Its slow turning, high recoil and low velocity are unsuitable for use on, or against, smaller ships.

 

 

Precognition Missiles

20220226220731_1.thumb.jpg.4f5a6b94f86571a161b0f9a3ca6aa487.jpg20220226220751_1.thumb.jpg.af42585ddc77ff922b8216209cc5896e.jpg

Missiles that will never be shot down. They are ludicrously maneuverable with thrusters on each end and thrust vectoring. The worst part is they can predict the future and attempt to dodge a PDC gun before it even decides to aim at a particular missile. It also uses precognition to hit an extremely fast target.
 

 


Devastator Heavy Laser

20200406192137_1.thumb.jpg.8591812a9644180d6bc70e27885d417f.jpg20200406192155_1.thumb.jpg.6060477015a12191d470a5e3cc602c55.jpg

A very powerful, experimental and high power laser. It is also very responsive but still rarely used due to being very expensive and still in its testing phase. They have been used in combat with great success however, at least on ships that has not drained their entire energy storage while firing. Until recently, not enough have been built to significantly change any wars.

 

Directed Gravitational Beam Cannon

The Directed Gravitational Beam Cannon fires.. well.. what its name suggests. Its beam is visible for some reason but it is nearly impossible to counter. As its a gravitational beam, it will go through shields, pierce an infinite number of blocks like a railgun, avoid PDC, ect. It is meant for sniping the enemy from very long range. Accurate and deadly, though it has a massive energy draw.

The starlight. One of the strongest weapons produced by the Federation. It is capable of easily tearing entire ships, as well as huge energy reserves, in half in mere seconds. Its coaxially mounted unfortunately.

Dang, i forgot to hit F8 again.

 


Lance Cannon

20201115170416_1.thumb.jpg.ee78ef2c4f3065a1d80a22b8385a5353.jpg

Another laser, this time its used on the Boson Class Destroyer and is coaxially mounted. Powerful for its size.


Newton Force Laser

20200216164432_1.thumb.jpg.0a15623480bd56a41506c89d3781858f.jpg

Another laser cannon. But wait, this is the most unusual one of the lot. It does not make holes, melt enemy armour, shoot nanobots or... anything, really. But what it does do, is exert forces on enemy ships. It also has 2 modes, repulsion and attraction. Also smaller ships are thrown around significantly more than larger ships. When used strategically, it can change the outcome of an entire battle. Also, because it does not cause damage, it can be used to manipulate friendly ships.
Some strategies include throwing asteroids at enemy carriers, causing collision damage which ignores shields. Throwing allied ramming ships into enemy lines, and then making it retreat with ludicrous speed when its damaged. Force could be applied to the ends of enemy ships, throwing off its aim. Imaginative and creative military officers can use this power to turn an entire war in their favor.


Graviton Cannon

20200330175237_1.thumb.jpg.ee79ce2b21e6549589a90240dcc781c8.jpg20200330175357_1.thumb.jpg.8fa07ff64da9b724568476ec8cd018d7.jpg

A responsive, accurate and powerful cannon, the Graviton continues the tradition of building floating turrets. The Graviton is an unusual take on this, however, as the cannon is held on by a ring. This gives it more stability and accuracy.

One of the few turrets that's less than 250 blocks.

 

 

Project Trinity

20210126105414_1.thumb.jpg.dc5f051a580aa19d3994317ddd1b28b9.jpg20210126105431_1.thumb.jpg.03a70bf6f19c83b3e8d4914244fa2a95.jpg
The Trinity is a large nuclear weapon missile. Capable of sending a nuke to another galaxy to devastate a whole sector including its planets. Unfortunately, as the launcher goes well into the hull, the ship must be built specifically to use it. It cannot be swapped out easily like other weapons can. Also it has an impressively slow fire rate.

 

 

Shredder Chaingun

20210214213225_1.thumb.jpg.3ddaf25df86ca2ee1b1a3fcbfe5567bd.jpg20210214213234_1.thumb.jpg.681f0f228dda955b62a791237064c841.jpg

Each round from this chaingun is not very powerful. Despite this, prolonged fire with this turret can tear almost anything smaller than large ships to shreds. Unlike most the other weapons of our faction (apart from lasers), this has an incredibly high rate of fire. Like, ridiculously high. The muzzle flashes make the turret resemble a flamethrower. Sure, the turret is slow to turn but it needs to be very stable otherwise it would rarely land any hits.

 


Multi-Frequency Annihilator X53

20210521171143_1.thumb.jpg.bc28f95d01b0aaa5ec350f82d2abc2d8.jpg20210521171156_1.thumb.jpg.9925e83872c1b55fa1777fee6b03b7dc.jpg
A powerful floating laser turret that fires rainbows at the enemy. Each beam can fry an entire ship and theres 7 beams. Anything looking at the wrong end of his weapon will probably be incinerated by rainbows and unicorns. Although it uses just as much power to fire.

 

Z7

20210321180339_1.thumb.jpg.9d69617ad3187069d17eeace43b46b59.jpg20210321180422_1.thumb.jpg.bf888a2fffb2b098fe157a1a055d49ef.jpg20210321180416_1.thumb.jpg.f66f488b5c7b92c489bd8e7ab47d5645.jpg

This heavy cannon-like weapon was dubbed simply "Z7" for counterespionage reasons. The weapon has 4 huge cannon barrels which will probably go clean through a capital ship. It doesnt even use a lot of power either. It can fire the shells one at a time or, if you are feeling very overkill, it can fire all 4 simultaneously. Unfortunately, apart from the 4 separate barrels, the fire rate is quite slow due to the sheer size of the shells. The sheer recoil, and the slow traverse, gives it a role similar to the Annihilator Plasma Cannon.

 

 

 

 

The Future

And, of course, the biggest of the biggest, the best of the best. Project Cataclysm is the single biggest ship ever built by the Federation. Well, actually its under construction. While it is not complete, it is already causing all but the toughest enemy captains to tremble in fear. A 13 km monster, filled with the most advanced technology available to any faction, with a ludicrously powerful superweapon mounted on it, dubbed the Synchrotron. The Synchrotron is fully operational and able to tear planets, stars and even black holes to shreds. It fires huge streams of positrons. The Federation are even experimenting with homing in on enemy ships, using magnet mounted fighters to deflect the positrons. Federation officials predict that eventually hundreds of Cataclysm Class Supercarriers will be built, as shipyards and building methods improve.
Another technology that is being discussed is Extreme Energy Technology, which uses significantly higher energies than regular High Energy Technology. One method to generate so much power might come in the form of a perpetual motion machine. They will generate huge amounts of power for no cost at all. Coupled with matter-energy manipulation, these will enable Federation starships to fly indefinitely, without service or repair, constantly on missions far from the ships home base. The first ship that used Extreme Energy Technology is T.S. Singularity, every weapon mounted on it are each easily capable of annihilating entire planets, its shield is neigh impenetrable to the point of protecting against collisions, its armour is even stronger as it is made completely out of neutronium (neutron star material). It is also extremely fast especially for its massive size and despite its insane density. Despite this T.S. Singularity itself, generated most of its power by a black hole which is about as safe as it sounds. The issue with the Singularity class is that every second they are operational they have a chance to completely annihilate itself. Recent ones have improved significantly in this factor but we are still a long way off from reliability.
Despite these massively powerful technologies, the final goal will always lie way in the future, virtually unreachable, due to the fact there are so many galaxies and xsotans.

Extreme - Energy Weapons

Warp Railgun (Prototype #6295)
20220129110611_1.thumb.jpg.f1a65681de233efb9d736e05abef28ac.jpg20220129110601_1.thumb.jpg.6eb33e967d34f475808367768f94f7e6.jpg
A brutally powerful Extreme-Energy powered railgun by the Tankium Federation. It fires its kinetic penetrator at FTL velocities close to 1 000 000 times the speed of light, thus it has enough range to hit a target in neighboring galaxies. The first Extreme-Energy weapon ever built, other factions' closest comparison to their own weapons is a railgun.



Antineutronium Cannon (Prototype #7283)
20220130145438_1.thumb.jpg.51232cce439c23423dcbefc053615c9b.jpg20220130145417_1.thumb.jpg.ec47478ca3e2fe5d89d09d4cfa50b461.jpg20220130145410_1.thumb.jpg.877b44ad257c6d90065530287b63c1e5.jpg
The Antineutronium Cannon is an extremely powerful ship to ship cannon built experimentally by the Tankium Federation. It fires an immense rod of antimatter with the same density as neutronium (neutron star material). To make handling of such massive quantities of antimatter significantly easier, the whole gun is made of antimatter and to protect it from stray particles it has a thin layer of hardlight coated over it. The gunner aims using a camera but other than that it is fully automated. It is one of the few weapons utilizing Extreme-Energy Technology. Considered the second Extreme-Energy weapon, it behaves closest to a regular cannon from other facitons.



Black Hole Cannon (Prototype #9524)

20220128224723_1.thumb.jpg.7e7f1eecec46ddd8fca0b43624c68aac.jpg20220128224731_1.thumb.jpg.c28292f147dfccf7726c705bf843407d.jpg
The Black Hole Cannon is the third Extreme-Energy weapon as built by the Tankium Federation. It is capable of slowly creating black holes and firing them with a device similar to a warp drive. Shields cannot stop black holes, ever. It functions closest to a pulse cannon from most other factions.



Tachyon Phase Cannon  (Prototype #12593)
20220313150654_1.thumb.jpg.ee1a8b2b91ccbca96071a869bb85c08f.jpg20220313150253_1.thumb.jpg.3f895f100225faf3ac88a5ea96f1ab47.jpg20220312083435_1.thumb.jpg.6b51fdd5a332af90e963e7abcbfc02a0.jpg20220312083424_1.thumb.jpg.79408562123030cba8611a470e277362.jpg
20220312083317_1.thumb.jpg.53a74a8f546c457b2cee7171e8fa70e2.jpg
Similar in function to a Tachyon Obliteration Cannon, but Extreme - Energy, this one is turret mounted. It also sends tachyons it fires to subspace where it goes through several kilometers of neutronium and then a black hole to increase their velocity to obscene levels (67 billion c), the highest velocity the Tankium Federation has managed to achieve. Tachyons decay after 10 seconds, giving them 21 000 lightyears range. Additionally they arent much more expensive than other Extreme - Energy weapons, meaning they could be used commonly in the far future.




Thanks to everyone who has read through this thread! And as i said earlier, if anyone has any comments or feedback, say them.
