[center]The Ascendant Navy[/center]
OOC: I apologize for any inconsistencies in the images, some of
them are somewhat large.
Dreadnought: The Star Destroyer
HTML http://cdn01.wallconvert.com/_media/wallpapers_1920x1080/1/2/star-destroyer-star-wars-11392.jpg
(Only 3 in active service, Hoth, Daedalus, and Prime)
The so called "Star Destroyer" is a bit of a misnomer it lacks
the firepower to destroy a star, but is more than capable of
reducing a planet to ash. The three Star Destroyers in current
service are some of the most advanced and most expensive
military equipment the Ascendancy has manufactured. The main
battle doctrine the commanders of these monstrosities rely on is
"overwhelming force", and the Star Destroyer is more than
capable of that. Capable of carrying multiple fighter wings,
drop crews, and siege equipment, the Star Destroyer the ultimate
tool of destruction in warfare.
Praetor Class Battlecruiser
HTML http://cdn.superbwallpapers.com/wallpapers/movies/praetor-mark-ii-class-battlecruiser-star-wars-29943-1920x1080.jpg
The Battlecruiser serves as the primary Captiol ship of the
Ascendancy, having the same notable design of the previously
mentioned "Star Destroyer" the ships function and weapon
placement is similar to the larger Dreadnought, however the
primary difference is the less pronounced Command Center, as
this has proven to be a structural weakness in the "wedge"
shaped design.
Cruisers: Defender Class
HTML http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080912154532/starwars/images/thumb/5/51/Broadsideface.jpg/500px-Broadsideface.jpg
Primarily a defensive unit meant to soak up the brunt of attacks
from enemy units, the shields and armor are exemplary but the
ships require offensive support to make any form of dent in the
enemy ranks.
Heavy Cruisers: Victory II Class
HTML http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x475/Millennium-Falsehood/Paper%20Models/VictoryIStarDestroyer.png
The Victory Class was brought into recent production due to a
new branch of military thought developed by the Admiralty board,
ships above this class are expensive to produce and to maintain,
the solution thought by the Admiralty Board was to sacrifice the
more extensive production process with a high level of defense
to maximize the amount of firepower on a conventionally designed
ship. The result was the Victory II heavy cruiser.
Frigate-Utility: Expansion Class
[img]
HTML http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/5/50/NBfrigate.JPG/revision/latest?cb=20061215024715[/img]
Expansion Class Frigates are mobile zones of colonial power,
with some heavy weapons, it is primarily used for transporting
important colonists and contains many slots for equipment that
needs to be moved to any colonies. Many of these also serve as
medical transports.
Frigate-Defense: Lancer Class
HTML http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x475/Millennium-Falsehood/Paper%20Models/LancerFrigate.png
Primarily used to protect the homesystems from piracy or
surprise invasion, these ships have little armor and no shields
and are used for starfighter defense, although many starfighters
are still dominant in terms of speed.
Control Ship
HTML http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090311015214/starwars/images/thumb/9/95/Lucrehulk_battleship_TCW.jpg/650px-Lucrehulk_battleship_TCW.jpg
Slow but heavily shielded this glorified control node can link
up to 1 million individual battle droids.
Fighter Droids
[img]
HTML http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/galaxystarsupermiraclenight/images/3/3b/Vulture_Droid_Starfighters.png/revision/latest?cb=20130409234140[/img]
Fighter Droids are equipped with light quad blasters for aerial
engagements which, when in ground mode the blasters are split
between the front half of the droid and the back of the droid,
in an attempt at blind spot nullification.

[center]The Ascendant Marines[/center]
[center]Average Chiss Soldiers[/center]
[center][img]
HTML http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/aliens/images/a/ab/Chiss.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140418160539[/img][/center]
The young are conscripted practically from birth and are trained
to be soldiers and better themselves for the good of the
Ascendancy. At some point all the members of Chiss society
actively served in the Navy or Marines. Active Service, unless
the individual wishes to pursue a career in the Armed Forces, is
5 years. Then they are placed into the civilian reserves.
Training is a grueling process, starting at the Military Academy
located on Csilla the recruits are subjected to training and
survival on the frozen tundra of Csilla. Endurance Training is
the longest portion of basic training.
[center]Equipment[/center]
[center]A280 Blaster Rifle
[img]
HTML http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/c/c1/A280_blaster_rifle.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20061203115750[/img][/center]
The Standard Primary weapon of the standard marine. Accurate,
reliable, but a bit heavy compared to the equipment of the Storm
Trooper.
[center]
E-Web Heavy Repeating Blaster
HTML http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20060724232259/starwars/images/thumb/c/cc/E_web-NEGWT.jpg/400px-E_web-NEGWT.jpg[/center]
The E-Web Heavy Repeating Blaster is the largest infantry weapon
available to the Ascendancy, used throughout the armed forces it
is a large cumbersome unit that unleashes a devastating amount
of firepower when it has been set up. Attached to it's own
portable generator the two man crew normally has to go into a
lengthy set up process to use such a weapon, but new
developments are rapidly coming to automate the process and
adding a personal shield generator to protect the crew. As it
stands this is only available to the Storm Trooper units
equipped with this machine.
[center]G-3 Mortar
HTML http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111119044309/starwars/images/d/d5/MortarLauncher-CoK.jpg[/center]
Using a powerful electromagnet to lob chunks of volatile metal
hundreds of meters across a battlefield, the G-3 Mortar is
perfect for anti-infantry purposes as well as taking out lighter
vehicles.
[center]MiniMag PTL Missile Launcher
HTML http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090724022018/starwars/images/0/09/Minimag.jpg<br
/>[/center]
The MiniMag Launcher is an anti-vehicle weapon designed to fire
proton torpedoes.
[center]
Class-A Thermal Detonator
HTML http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080401142502/starwars/images/c/cf/Class-A_thermal_detonator.jpg[/center]
The Primary explosive weapon of the standard forces, the Class-A
is the oldest model of detonator, however the other improvements
are superficial compared to the inexpensive destructive power
that the Class-A offers. The blast radius is measured by 20
meters.
[center]
DH-17 Blaster Pistol
HTML http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20070224204231/starwars/images/5/59/Dh-17.jpg[/center]
The DH-17 is primarily effective for close to medium range
encounters, with an optimum range of 30 meters. However the
armor piercing bolts compromise for this drawback. Capable of
two fire modes, automatic and semi-automatic, most prefer the
semi-automatic setting as switching to automatic proves to make
to gun unstable, prone to overheating, and on the occasion,
volatile. Automatic firing also drains the charge pack within 5
seconds.

[center]Storm Troopers
HTML http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140619091751/starwars/images/2/21/Shock_troops_SWE.png[/center]
The Elite soldiers of the Ascendancies Marine's the training
process is grueling and removes the individual's sense of self.
Training for all combat in any situation, with or without
equipment, zero-G tolerance and performance training, underwater
combat and operations, planetoid jumping, jetpack usage, etc. Is
involved in the year long endurance run of a program. The armor
is a graphene weave that is layered atom by atom, conventional
powdered based firearms are completely ineffective, laser prove
to be more efficient at bypassing this armor. The armor is
pressurized and cycles oxygen through vents in the helmet,
giving the trooper inside an extra 10 seconds of oxygen in a
vacuum.
[center]Equipment[/center]
[center]
E-11 Blaster Rifle
HTML http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20060724231745/starwars/images/thumb/7/7d/E-11_NEGWT.jpg/400px-E-11_NEGWT.jpg[/center]
The E-11 Blaster has three primary firing settings,
semi-automatic, automatic, and pulse fire. Computer enhancements
inside of the scope compensate for periods of low to no light,
smoke, or any obscuring haze. It is best suited for
close-engagements, as the weapon's recoil and short barrel lead
it to being uncontrollable at longer ranges.
[center]SE-14r Light Repeating Blaster
HTML http://img01.deviantart.net/3c17/i/2009/179/b/6/stormtrooper_gun_by_brashsculptor.jpg[/center]
The SE-14r is a compact light repeating blaster that is the
standard secondary weapon of the Storm Trooper. Lightweight with
plenty of firepower, it also sees usage amongst officers in the
Ascendancy.
[center]LXR-6 Concussion Grenade
HTML http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091225163610/starwars/images/7/71/Concussion_Grenade_-_SWGTCG.jpg
[/center]
Primarily used as an emergency anti-vehicle weapon, or for the
destruction of light armored vehicles. The Grenades are
outfitted with a powerful magnet and as such the grenades
"stick" to attached armor.
[center]T-21 Light Repeating Blaster
HTML http://dev.501stlegion.org/crl/TK_CRL/122_Stormtrooper_HWT/122_24.jpg[/center]
The T-21 Repeating Blaster is the heaviest weapon designed for
infantry to carry. The basic power pack allows it to fire 25
shots before reloading, however the 20 kilogram generator can be
equipped on the back for ease of carry. Capable of destroying
personal shield generators, personnel armor, and some light
vehicles, this is a deadly weapon.
[center]Ascendant Heavy Repeater
HTML http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20060322035639/starwars/images/thumb/8/8b/Imperial_Heavy_Repeater.jpg/400px-Imperial_Heavy_Repeater.jpg[/center]
A heavy infantry weapon the Heavy Repeater is noted for its high
rate of fire and moderate spread. Not using the conventional
laser technology but rather older metallic slugs propelled by
electromagnets, the bolts prove to leave sizable holes in
targets and a very distinctive pattern. The underslung also
functions as a grenade launcher.

[center]Battle Droids[/center]
The Ascendancy has found it necessary, since the day of its
formation, to partake in the construction of androids (or
"droids" as is colloquially spoken) to compensate for its small
population.
[center]
Mark. I Battle Droid
HTML http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121228102407/starwars/images/c/cd/Battle_Droid.png[/center]
These primitive battle droids have been designed and
manufactured since the Ancient Chiss first roam Csilla. Cheap
and easily mass produced but lacking an advanced AI, the gaffs
committed by these droids are embarrassing, which is why they've
been given a simple directive, exterminate. Armed only with the
cheap and reliable E-5 Battle Rifle, the droids primary strength
comes from numbers.
[center]Mark. II Battle Droid
HTML http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111224211828/starwars/images/7/7b/SuperBattleDroidDetail-SWE.png[/center]
Mark. II Battle Droids succeed their inferior brothers in every
way, they hit harder, take more hits, and deal far more damage.
However the Mark. II's are incapable of using standard weaponry,
and cannot be used as versatile as the Mark. I. Mark. II Battle
Droids have a wrist mounted dual laser cannons on its right arm,
on its left is a wrist mounted rocket launcher. The Mark. II is
also not limited to the range of a command center, but
functionality greatly improves with it.
[center]BX-11 Commando Droids
[img]
HTML http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/theclonewiki/images/4/40/Commandodroid_detail.png/revision/latest?cb=20111122163033[/img][/center]
BX-11 Droids are fitted with highly experimental A.I. (the kind
on the level of sophistication of protocol droids) this allows
advanced decision making processes to be allocated, and allows
Commando droids to prioritize decision making over orders. Armed
with the same blaster as the Mark-I Commando droids show a
remarkable proficiency for utilizing the limited blaster in its
fullest potential, what is also available to them is a portable
shield (like a literal semi-permeable shield, that collapses and
attaches to their bodies.). Commando droids are proficient in
hand to hand combat, easily overpowering any organic life form.
[center]Grand Advisor Androids
[img]
HTML http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/1/15/GeneralKalaniFull-SWE.png/revision/latest?cb=20121021231111[/img][/center]
Only 5 Grand Advisor Androids exist, (The one depicted above is
Grand Advisor Th'rak) the A.I. encompassed in their metal shells
are the five greatest Grand Admiral's of the Ascendancy. Every
Grand Admiral, either towards the end of his/her career or the
end of his/her life receives a full scan of their mind which is
recreated using highly advanced (if not a bit unstable) A.I.
creation programs. The Grand Advisors travel between fleets,
systems, and positions at whim, and are technically listed
somewhere equal to the rank of Admiral. As such they are able to
take command of any personnel under that position for any reason
at any time. The three Grand Advisors are also the only droids
in the Ascendancy that are recognized as sentient.
[center]T-Series Commander Droids
[img]
HTML http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/7/7e/Tactical_droid_TCW.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090310061419[/img]
[/center]
Serving as Commanders of Droid battalions and sometimes Armies,
the T-Series Commander Droid receives a direct connection to and
from a Control Ship, effectively serving as its Ears and Eyes on
the ground, simultaneously connecting the Commander to every
other Battledroid allowing orders to be issued real-time, while
not having the depth of complexity as the Commando droids the
T-series still maintains a reasonable amount of self
determination and preservation of its forces, they will route if
things tactically turn against them, or under orders to retreat.
[center]Defensive Deployment Droid
HTML http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20071009040111/starwars/images/thumb/5/5d/DroidekaMarkII.jpg/500px-DroidekaMarkII.jpg[/center]
The Defensive Deployment Droid meets the standard Defensive
requirements of the Ascendant ground forces, its rapidly
deployed, serves more than a single purpose, and makes the
territory an absolute hell to take. Armed with 9 blasters and a
deployable shield, the Defensive Deployment Droid is basically a
highly mobile turret. The blasters are all able to alternate
between generic laser shot and ionized weapon shots
independently and in conjunction.

The All-Terrain-Scout-Transport, or AT-ST, is a bi-pedal machine
that is lightly armored and equipped with equally light weapons.
It is also 9 meters tall.

The large, slow moving, heavily armored, Transport is the
signature mark of the Ascendancy's ground forces. Capable of
transporting 40 soldiers or a single metric ton of cargo for
transit, the multipurpose walker is used in every aspect of the
Navy. It is also 22.5 Meters
[center]Main Battle Walker- Codename REX[/center]
[center]
HTML http://www.bluplay.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/metal-gear-rex-img-1.jpg[/center]
Armed with a railgun, proton torpedoes, and a light
anti-personnel gatling laser. The REX is piloted by one heavily
trained pilot, training consists of G-Force endurance, inertia
conditioning, repair and maintenance, and a requirement to know
what all of the blinking lights, flashing buttons, and various
other noises mean. Defenses include reactive armor, personal
shield generator, and an active camouflage projector. The last
allowing the armor to adapt immediately to its surroundings,
whether this means becoming a winterized color scheme, urban,
desert, etc. It is also 16 meters tall.
