Viridian Remnants / New Viridia

image https://forum.cosmoteer.net/assets/images/6039-F9SNG6N5P78tBUBu.png

Prologue

Nothing but the shadow of his former glory, Viridia recovers from the catastrophic event that halted its development as a power in A-S6 and that almost completely ends the emerging nation. The survivors emigrated from their dying world and gave themselves the arduous task of finding a new home, which curiously would be a planet in G-S16.

Difficult times lead to difficult decisions. The lack of law and a command structure created a power vacuum that the army took advantage of to seize power. People accepted since it was the best option at the time.

At first everything went well, but with the discovery of their new home and that there really was no reason for the army to stay in power, things got bad. The army took power by force, executed the opposition and the regime became a completely authoritarian one.

The noble ideals remained in the past, corruption, making use of the army, kidnapped the state. The people had no choice but to submit. The younger generations are faithful to the vile lie of the state, while the older ones are only more than sad memories of dark times.

A peaceful people with good morals, became a patriotic people driven mad by desire, and with it, the corruption that this brings. Now, Viridia is nothing more than a simple army with a nation.


Politics

Being a fascist regime, therefore it is authoritarian and militaristic, where the army is exalted and makes use of corporations and the elite to support itself.

Although there is a military council that evaluates and gives answers to the various mishaps that arise, the power falls on a single person, this being the most influential in the council and taking the face of it. And our leader, is the supreme commander of the armed forces, whose title bears with great honor, Volfango Nasca.

Freedom of expression is limited. You can express your opinion or disagreements, but there will be consequences, clearly.

In the external sphere, the nation tends to turn towards isolationism, hiding from Chaos outside its worlds and maintaining a powerful internal economy that does not depend largely on foreign nations. At the moment there is no diplomatic relationship with other nations (People), but that can change.


Territory

New Viridia Controlled Space

Viridian Remnants are scattered around a group of nebulae, using them as a natural defense and entrenching themselves within them, which provides certain advantages over invaders, such as certain FTL drives being affected by nebulae and therefore, invaders will be forced to pass over defenses in border systems.

There are 63 controlled Civil class systems, plus 23 systems that are exclusively used and accessed by the army.

[Civil Worlds] (Blue)

Most of the systems in the territory of the New Viridia are civil in nature. Which have worlds of all kinds, from cities spreading throughout the planet to small interconnected colonies, but something is certain, there is little military presence, which is because the army is located in the dedicated worlds or in the border systems.

The infrastructure is varied, as well as the architecture, it all depends on which one suits the planet best, for example, while in Azur there are beautiful round buildings capable of floating in the blue seas of the planet, in "New Viridia" they have a design much more usual and compact, less beautiful but more effective when it comes to housing the large population in the capital.

And we must not forget their planets dedicated mainly to the production of food and goods only, which are throughout all the controlled space.

These planets have their own garrisons and ships for Planetary Defense, trained to fight in their own conditions, therefore, they are not as effective as military forces, hence their classification as PDF.

[Military Worlds] (Red)

23 systems completely under the control of the army, where the civilian population is very small.

These systems have worlds dedicated to the army of the New Viridia, providing border fortresses, shipyards of all sizes dedicated to the production and maintenance of the fleet, factory of military equipment and military bases where its military personnel are located.

[Fortress Worlds]

There are 11 possible entrances to the territory of the New Viridia, but unfortunately for the invaders, these border systems are nothing more than well-defended intersections whose only purpose, in most cases, is to prevent unauthorized entry into the red nebula, home of the New Viridia.

These systems have self-sufficient fortress worlds, of military nature, which have a planetary shield, normally fed by the very core of the planet or geothermal energies.

Millions of automated weapon sites, of all types and sizes, are scattered all over the planet, as well as extensive garrisons which are always ready for the defense of those necessary enemy invasions if you wish to enter the territory of the new viridia.

And this is due to the massive gravitational well that is buried in the planet, whose only purpose is to deny the passage and catch the enemy fleets, until they are destroyed, reinforcements arrive, or well, the defenders die.

But to supply and maintain all of the above at the time of an invasion or siege, there are a large number of underground structures interconnected by railroad systems that carry food, energy and troops quickly to anywhere on the planet where necessary.

[Charted FTL Lanes]

Within the nebula, the handling of FTL Drives is complicated, and even dangerous, but the New Viridia managed to overcome this inconvenience, drawing safe lines within the Nebula, although everything was at a great cost lives and resources.

If you want to transport yourself through the nebula safely, you must follow the lines already drawn, although there is always the possibility that there are more safe lines unknown to the nation of New Viridia.


Industry

A warrior nation, dedicated to the constant production and sale of weapons requires great industrial power, which has been increasing lately. Thousands of factories are producing day and night the war equipment necessary to satisfy their buyers who live in the adjacent sectors, as well as the army itself, providing them with new weapons and vehicles, increasingly better and more cost-effective.

But focusing your entire economy on a single sector is something dangerous, which is why they have also focused on the production of fuels and energy, but mainly on large-scale mining, stripping entire worlds of all valuable material , this from time to time.


Misc

-Corporations-

  • Stella Tech & Shipyards

Stella Tech & Shipyards is a corporation with a lot of history within the Viridian Remnants, since its beginnings go back to the "dead Viridia", where it started as a producer of luxury ships and technologies for them, and with the passing of time, it will position itself as the number one place in what was left of Viridia.

Now it is a mega-producer of state-of-the-art materials and technologies, which designed and built most of what is now the fleet of the Viridian Remnants.

  • Vyper Corp

Quite new in the business, but that is promising, because its products are innovative and of good quality. Its target market is aeronautics, and to some extent, Astronautics.

  • VirNa Industries

Viridian National Industries is a corporation whose property is from the same state. It is responsible for filling the void of companies and corporations that got lost with the sudden destruction of Viridia, producing all kinds of goods and materials, as well as the design of technologies.

  • Palma Company

A company whose specialization are combat suits, explosives, weapons and their respective ammunition. The company is near bankruptcy and it may be absorbed.

  • Fede Foundation

Institution that is responsible for the study and development of "unnatural" technologies, as well as the study of what happened in "the Dead Viridia". Not much is known about them, because of how hermetic and mysterious they are.

Betelgeuse MBT

image https://forum.cosmoteer.net/assets/images/6039-12khcdybrpW3FyVY.png

  • Betelgeuse MBT Mk-1

The main battle tank manufactured exclusively by New Viridia, created to be able to respond to all kinds of situations efficiently, quickly and with a devastating power. Controlled by 3 crew and assisted by artificial intelligence.

It is mainly armed with a 120mm Scram Cannon, with an autoloader, capable of firing most types of ammunition that the army has. Its secondary armament are 2 coaxial machine guns of 7.92 mm and a fully automated 14.5 mm machine gun, capable of dealing with both low-speed aircraft and enemy infantry, but mainly used to destroy ATGMs. It also has 4 ATGM launchers capable of rotating 45° and 6 Smoke Grenade Launchers.

The Tank has its own energy reactor, which feeds all the devices inside it as well as its shield. But a disadvantage of the design is that both the shield and energy generator protrude in the rear of the vehicle, so only one shot is able to eliminate the tank without many problems.

In addition, the thickness of the armor is not so good in the back of the tank hull, it is simply decent, this is due to the space occupied by the power generator and shield, but in return, it is less heavy than many other MBT , which gives it speeds of 70 km/h, and 60 km/h off-road.

  • Betelgeuse Mk 2E (E stands for Armored)

Second version of Betelgeuse, which undergoes several improvements, mainly in armament and defense. The Scram Cannon receives certain improvements in the aiming of the weapon, and its stabilizer. Coaxial machine guns are completely removed and replaced by sight glasses (?). The grenade smoke launchers are removed, but a small launcher is added to the top of the tank.

In addition, more protection is added on the turret and on the back of the tank to compensate for its mediocre armor. Due to this, the speed falls at 65 km/h and 55 km/h off-road.

Orion HBT

image https://forum.cosmoteer.net/assets/images/6039-sLhIx8NzNH6QK9no.png

  • Orion Heavy Battle Tank Mk I

Heavy battle tank, designed to counteract the emergence of similar tanks and combat vehicles in G-S16. This tank has 4 crew who are assisted by an artificial intelligence. Unlike his little Brother, the Betelgeuse, this one has a 137 mm Gauss rifle, powered by the same reactor located at the rear of the hull. It is only capable of firing certain specific rounds, being the most prominent the APFSDS.

As a secondary weapon, it lacks any machine gun, but one can be placed in the commander's cup if necessary. It has 6 ATGM launchers and 6 grenade smoke launchers. But what really makes it different, in addition to its main weapon, is the intelligent mortar, capable of firing small missiles, smoke grenades and a variety of explosives.

The Orion has the same design flaw as the Betelgeuse, with a shield and energy generator that stands out in the rear, but in this case it is well armored. It is slower and heavier than the Betelgeuse, but this makes up for it with better armor, made of a special alloy used only in this tank, resistant to high kinetic energy impacts.

Warships

  • Eridanus Class ESP Corvette
    image https://forum.cosmoteer.net/assets/images/6039-aNK8E2I5jKooZXum.png

The Eridanus Class is essentially a ship built around a weapon, something typical of the "Armata". This ship carries a Extradimensional Shadows Proyector, whose only purpose is to destroy its enemies from massive distances.

In addition, it is armed with 3 dual 100mm fast-firing turrets specialized in the task of destroying enemy fighters and bombers, and even projectiles and missiles. This allows it to defend itself and the other ships that accompany it.

The ship has a crew of 170 plus 20 troopers whose main purpose is to make and repel boarding actions.

Due to its small size and that the Extradimensional Shadows Projector occupies most of the space on the ship, this small corvette does not have any type of hangar to transport strike craft.

A ship quite small if it is to be compared with the ships of the other nations but that is congruent with the doctrine that maintains the "Armata", which focuses on small, but multitasking or well-armed ships.

A fairly new design, which remains to be seen in real action, but looks promising.

The_Overseer sight glasses (?)

(Do you mean sights/optics?)

The_Overseer the most prominent the APFSDS

(APFSDS is rather redundant on coilguns/railguns/gauss guns, as the main advantage provided by them is more gunpowder charge on a smaller projectile, resulting in faster speeds and thus higher penetration. With projectile accelerating weapons, the only advantage of APFSDS would be a slight reduction in shell weight, which would have negligible effects on ballistics to the point it's better to use AP/APHE.)

(There's also the fact that having a Heavy MBT defeats the whole purpose of an MBT, but I'm sure most will be willing to let that slide. Overall you've designed some really kickass tanks here, don't get me wrong, love the pixel art.)

(DM me on discord if you feel like it Gulag Trucc#5923 got a couple more constructive criticisms, plus I can help with technobabble if you're struggling on that. Please just let me contribute to this masterpiece...)

    Soundbust11 Thank you! For the words, the critiscism and because I am not really an expert in all that, and I would really appreciate any help. One day of this I will DM you.

    And speaking about the Heavy Battle Tank, I thought about that and I had my doubts when designing the tank. But ... Let's leave it slide...

    The_Overseer I can see that you have the Viridians up and running! I may help, check discord

    The_Overseer
    Thats super cool the only thing is i wish we had descriptions of the ships other than that this is really nice lore and art as someone who cant even draw a potato i approve.

      RedAndCosmoteer It could be said, I already have what I thought necessary. And yes, I will.

      dafeeeeeeeeeesh I plan to describe each of the ships, their weapons, their history/background, the producer and the most prominent ships, but I will do that in different updates to the page. After all, it is a WIP.

      The_Overseer changed the title to Viridian Remnants - New Viridia (Faction Page) (Still a WIP).

        The_Overseer in the outskirts of the territories a signal is picked up, a ships ftl, a small destroyer sized ship around 400 meters, separated into 6 parts. A small orb in the center, a ring around it, and 4 larger hull parts, a heavy shield in casing it though somehow devoid of weapons, sitting in open space with it’s white and teal paint. The pieces themselves seem to be held together by electromagnetic locks.

          Zonxeia, the purple tinted fortress

          A world whose place is in a border system, located in one of the sectors farthest from the worlds of the nucleus, away from all the hustle that interplanetary trade brings. This beautiful planet is covered by fierce storms of purple and pink hues, which together with the atmosphere, barely let the light into the planet. But do not be fooled by the amazing sight, that world is one of the tens of fortress worlds that the misterious new nation inhabits them, an improvised defense, whose only function is to prevent the passage of strangers like you.

          A sudden transmission breaks the silence in the communications, it appears that after several minutes they managed to find the exact frequency to communicate with you. At first there is static, it takes a bit to fully adjust the frecuency. Apparently a kind of national anthem sounds in the background in a very low tone, but it is still possible to discern within the message. The message goes like this ...

          "Ship of unknown origin, you are in a border world, belonging to the territory of New Viridia, whose control is of the army only, going deeper into our territory without our authorization is illegal and will be considered as a hostility, and that could bring consequences .

          But don't be alarmed, just keep calm and follow our instructions. Any type of FTL will be interdicted, this will take effect at the end of the message, you will not be able to leave until further notice. So in the meantime, we ask that you wait patiently, a group of ships will go to your position and then escort you to a station near the planet.

          We hope we don't have to use our weapons."

          Everything they said seems to be true, a large gravitational well was activated, creating a gravitational shadow just located on the planet and avoiding the use of all the FTL drives known by this nation called "New Viridia." Now you just have to wait for your escorts ...

          The_Overseer Ma boi! I’ve said it before and ima say it again, your art is the best I’ve seen in the entire rp community. Maybe even the best of all pixel art.)

          The_Overseer the ships shield lowers as it sends a simple response. “transmission received, holding place until escort arrives.” the shield is still there, just much lower.

            gearshift48 The already promised escort arrived in a few minutes, using its torch drives, and boasting in some way at the same time. A frigate accompanied by 2 smaller ships, surely corvettes, came galloping over the sea of ​​stars and planets. The shields were kept at the predetermined level, neither low nor high. But the guns were still, despite their subtle threats, they didn't want to start a conflict, at least not with a completely unknown nation. The ships surrounded the destroyer, circling around it several times, only to end up positioning on both sides, and also up and down, taking the destroyer as its point of reference.

            Apparently it was a kind of tactics or first contact protocol, who knows.

            "VAS Mandrake here, we will proceed to escort you to a station positioned on the planet Zonxeia, we await for your response"

            The_Overseer “we shall follow you, partially because we don’t know where that is.”
            (I don’t know how to respond to that very well

              gearshift48 (It's okay, I just wanted the "permission")


              VAS Mandrake - Command Bridge

              A spacious bridge, full of holographic screens and the occasional physical computer, and all these had a certain control over various aspects of the ship, from sensors and scanners to the powerful weapons and defenses of the ship. And in the center of the bridge, was the commander of the ship, Julius, wearing his elegant black suit with green decorations and his various medals that he won throughout his career in the Navy.

              "Commander, the analysis of the unknown ship has been completed, the data will be displayed later in the Navy database"

              "Perfect ..." Commander Julius murmured. "Start the torch drives, we will escort this ship to the assigned station, this for the complete review of the ship and the subsequent "conversation" with its crew ... And remember, stay alert for any suspicious action, we do not know what the intentions of these strangers are".


              The New Viridia ships did not respond, they simply started their torch drives and advanced, hoping you could keep up.


              (I don't think you need to answer in this part. I'll write later about your arrival at the station.)

              The_Overseer OoooOo nice faction

              The_Overseer (now that i look at your RP i see that you are exceptionably decent. Nice, not every day a new RPer that is quite decent is spotted in the wilds of the forum.
              Also i'm just goign to say this now, how cramped is the corvettes? Me and red spotted that you use a ruler where 1 pixel is under 1 meter, on the corvettes and LRS frigate, the windows are 1 pixel apart, so either it's double windows or something else.
