the elitrian empire is a rather unique bunch compared to much of their closely allied cursed legion nations. elitria is extremely unstable, with highly differing populations, cultures and philosophies spread throughout the entire nation, a melting pot. yet somehow it survives and thrives with a destroyed infrastructure, a non existant economy, and a heavily war ravaged countryside. How, how is what baffles most people who see the state of this so called empire, if it’s even worth that name at its meager size. The answer is leadership. The leader of elitria is only known as Nightwatch, and is often seen at the most outskirt and isolated planets, or the most ravaged and walks amongst the populous, speaking to citizens, adressing and fixing all he can, and working heavily to unify those around him, encourage working together despite the vast differences in the past. A unifying force and almost a true hero in what is one of the main factions in the cursed legion, a by all means evil cohilition to wipe out or conquer life. Well, that story may be for another time. But for now, elitria has just made its first real colony in the greater galaxy of cosmoteer, and they are moving in with force.
the military, much like the nation itself, is divided into different philosophies and strategies, though Nightwatch has more streamlined it.
their are 3 main branches of the space borne military, the blitz, centurion and strider branches. Nobody really knows why they decided to make them naked like this but, nobody really questions it.
the blitz branch specializes in speed and maneuverable fighters, corvettes and other light ships. They usually are the ones designing interceptors, light picket ships, escort vessels, and most fighter types. Leaders in this branch also are often... how you say, egotistical. This results in a unsusually high rate of casualties sometimes when a squad of heavy interceptors try and engage a frigate only to find a cruiser behind it.
speaking of cruisers, let’s move to centurion. Centurion is good at slower, well protected and well armed massive warships. They are the ones making all your frigates, cruisers, battleships and the few dreadnaughts they have. The leaders are a lot more level headed, and tactical, atleast in battle. In private or out of battle most admirals are known to be complete douches to everyone, nearly everyone atleast.
and now for strider... strider is a stealth branch, they have cloaking vessels with immense firepower and good speed but low armor. strider often makes most of the specialized vessels, cloaking cruisers and fighters, and some of the most advanced weaponry in the nation.
And thats the gist of it. I will be updating this as more info on the lore comes up and I make more stuff for the faction but for now, this is it.
God it’s good to be back
the colonies
currently the colonies of elitria are 2 main systems in the R-2 area, along its more central outer border. The first system was named hycron, after the main scientist who managed to reverse engineer some of the tech the cresent empire used to reach this galaxy. The second was named hornet, after well, hornet, 2IC of the nation, and current colonial leader.
hyrcon has 2 habitable worlds currently being developed with light defencive stations and a small corvette fleet, while hornet doesent have any habitable worlds but does have some mining operations on a couple resource rich worlds, a heavier station and a more escort like fleet in its orbit. Nobody fully knows how things will play out, but it’s gonna be interesting none the less.
