The Red Sphere Collective did not stop after Domini Naturae rebelled against them. They would create what we now call Eroberer Race, A race of... Uh... Well, you can't really say they are any type of animal family, so they're more like... All of them? However, despite this, they speak English perfectly well, and are actually very civilized in behaviour.
But, As from their name, their race's belief is Animalistic in nature. The Expansionist Monarchy of Varonguard, Also Known As the EMV, Are intent on expanding their territories, their end goal to simply conquer the Universe, or possibly beyond. As for right now, everybody's still trapped in our own Virago Supercluster, however.
HISTORY
During the civil tensions between the RSC and their creation, Domini Naturae, King Praeclarum of Domini Naturae tried to achieve a peaceful resolution with His race's creators. Creator and Creation battled originally in a much more peaceful manner, Both creating their own concept for an ultimate lifeform from all forms of life ever seen. The result was surprisingly similar on both sides, so the duel was a tie. Instead of being subtle, however, the RSC claimed both specimens. Praeclarum wouldn't stand for this treachery, so the Conflict that would end the empire of the otherwise originally peaceful Domini Naturae begin, ending in the 1600s.
In the meantime, the RSC further improved both creations, eventually creating the Eroberers after making a hybrid of the two specimens. After that, They gave the species one ship and a planet, and leaved them be. This was all happening in the 700s in our terms. However, the first specimens had an unregistered intellect, and skipped the whole "Tribal Stage" thing completely. Thus, by the time we were making our first armed spacecraft, they had become the EMV and began to expand their territories like wildfire.
The Expansionists left no potential foe behind, and went to great lengths to ensure that their enemies would be wiped out. Eventually, after a riot in the 1800s, However, A monarchy was formed from the highest ranking individuals from the Worker Guild and the Military Guild. Thus came Emperor Varonguard and Empress Chapiline, and the planet and moon were named after both of them respectively. Of course, things didn't become too orderly, and they kept the expansion rate up.
The First Heimvernichtung Conflict marked Humanity's travel to further space after the mysterious destruction of The First Earth. The High Commander, Vizeron, followed after the humans, but failed to wipe them out before they reverse-engineered the technology of other races, and eventually infested the Galaxies. Instead of being demoted, The Empress took pity on Vizeron, knowing full well that the enemy had something... Unique. Something... Never encountered by the others. Some may call it "Luck", but it may fall much deeper.
Now, the EMV are going into full production, intent on breaking the territorial barrier we have made for them. They want to break out, and conquer every last light-year the Universe has to offer. It seems they are going to declare... War.
SHIPS
The EMV prioritize innovative and strategically powerful ships to overwhelm the enemy. Only the most brilliant commanders can effectively use them, but the cost of the ship matters not- the main goal of 75% of the species (The Worker Guild) is literally to create ships to invade the cosmos.
ABSOLON FIGHTERS
Ships in order: Absolon Regular, Armoured Model (A), Hybrid Model (+).
Masses: 73.2 Tonnes/187.2 Tonnes/119.2 Tonnes Respectively
Crew: All 18 Respectively
Value (In Human Credits): 117,500 Credits/151,300 Credits/131K Credits Respectively
The Absolon fighters were made for harassment and strategic attacking. The three different models go between top speed and top durability. going from Base, to Plus, to A. This offers great strategic flexibility, something which many EMV commanders appreciate greatly. The two cannons AND a shield build give it a mix of survivability and damage as well, which offers even more strategic value- Even for a ship this small.
HOLY FLAG BEARER
Mass: 134.7 Tonnes
Crew: 6 Priests
Value (IHC): 74,250 Credits
The Holy Flag Bearer is a ship simply used for morale. Upon sight of one, It becomes obvious that the battle is already pretty much won, as they only appear when they are safe from harm. It is considered as a heavily treasonous offence to even touch or bump into one of these ships, and usually intended offences will cause execution. Let's just say, If you want to live, don't touch this thing. EVER.
HOLY DELTA
Mass: 157.9 Tonnes
Crew: 26 PILOTS?!
Value (IHC): 147,850 Credits
How's this for a "Heavy Fighter"? How about a ship topped with a HEAVY BEEPING CANNON?! Pair that with TWO shield generators and two Laser Turrets, and you have indeed got yourself a gunboat in space. This ship is used for much more brunt purposes, but it still remains due to it being considered as a "Holy" ship due to all the victories it causes. (Just imagine how many enemy fighters it can leak through!) It's one primary weakness, however, is that once you get past the shields, it is... Uh, maybe highly volatile.
KILLSPEAR SIEGE CRAFT
Mass: 330 Tonnes
Crew: 74 Professionals
Value (IHC): 361,700 Credits
Vizeron always has a place for this ship in his unkind, murderous, and literally monstrous heart. What can I say? He has a soft spot for ships that can slice enemies into pieces within a minute. It also has defences on it's sides in case an enemy tries to take it by surprise, and it is overall exceptionally shielded. One drawback, however, is that it's "Tail" is easily severable, And it heavily depends on said "Tail" for directional movement. Otherwise, the ship is exceptionally solid in combat, and Vizeron will not let go of his favourite ship.
BLOODY CATHEDRAL
Mass: 558 Tonnes
Crew: 116 Hard Workers
Value (IHC): 593,350 Credits
Cathedrals are infamous due to combat flexibility. They can aim all of their weapons forward, or do broadside just as effectively. It is also well shielded, meaning it can take a beat down of enemy fire. But once again, it's insides are especially juicy... With Nitroglycerin, that is. Alas, However, the ship still proves superiority, Prioritizing mass fire over variety. In the end, it'll make the battlefield named after it- no matter how many Lasers It takes.
ANNIHILATOR CLASS DREADNAUGHT
Mass: 5696.3 Tonnes
Crew: 764 Trained Specialists
Value (IHC): 4,992,800 Credits
I have an honest confession to make. Other than Alpha and "Useful", this is my largest ship, and this is BY FAR the most combat effective. And yet it has a good (Yet very simple) Paint Job? You know how hard I worked on this. Anyway, back to lore.
The Annihilator Class Dreadnaught is basically the EMV version of an Imperial Star Destroyer. It has such a large arsenal of lasers it could resemble the Death Star. It has so many missiles firing at a solid rate, it feels like a Nuclear War. If you encountered one during the Heimvernichtung Conflict, you were dead meat. Heck, even nowadays these can be death sentences. Put simply, Imagine World War 2 in it's entirety aimed at your face. This warship was first produced in the 1900s, Following the massive success of the Bloody Cathedral. It breathed new life into the ship. And Injected it with STRONGROIDS! This ship is just as Mass-Produced as any other ship now, and, Uh... JUST IMAGINE A HUNDRED OF THESE ON THE BATTLEFIELD! Originally, only 1 was assigned per fleet, (Vizeron had three just because he could!) But now the Emperor dropped all rules and limitations on numbers. Let's just say... There are Thousands now. This could be the spearhead to piercing the Territorial wall, and Human factions left and right are preparing for the EMV Dreadnaughts.
WARNING!
THE DESPAIR CLASS DREADNAUGHT!
Mass: Compared Estimation Points towards a mass of around 5300 Tonnes
Crew: Estimates say a few digits off 900
Value (IHC): 5,410,800 Credits
Well, we called it! After reports of Extensive testing, The EMV have officially declared that Territorial War will happen! And, most unfortunately, Vizeron plans on leading the charge with the newest, most combat-refined version of the Annihilator-Class Dreadnaught: The Brand Spanking new DESPAIR CLASS DREADNAUGHT! It can take a rain of blows without Much (If any) Damage with it's heavy shielding! And, It can return them with it's modified Arsenal too! This ship was slightly Re-Armed to be more efficient Facing Shields, and have a longer Uptime at full capacity. Not to mention, It's Missile network now fires at maximum Efficiency, meaning this thing can maim entire enemy armies by itself! Finally, Vizeron has recently announced that all systems not in use shall be turned off, as to preserve power. And yes, this means all those scanners will not have any crew or upkeep whilst in combat, unless they become necessary to use. Thus, this increases maximum efficiency for combat systems! And to think there'll be multiple of these things upon the battlefield... I already have chills down my spine. Thus, Surgeon Research is sending out a holotest to see If factions will be prepared for the enemy attack. If you aren't, take desperate action!
That is that! Well, for now, anyway. The EMV are preparing all factors for their intergalactic invasion, so be prepared for the coming storm... A Storm, that may just be coming soon!
