UNITED FEDERATION OF PLANETS |
 |
The
United Federation of Planets is comprised of hundreds of regional governments
controlling thousands of planets across a large spectrum of
space.
Federation starships are generally well-rounded and designed for more
than just war. They have excellent overall shielding and better science systems
than most ships. However, the power of the photon torpedo means that even the
smallest Federation ship is a dangerous opponent. |
 |
The Klingon Empire is relatively poor, and can only match the Federation in
military power at the price of a harsher standard of living for its people.
Most Klingon ships are specialized to cruise at medium range, and snipe with their
quick-charging disruptors. |
 |
Romulans
are an offshoot of the Vulcan race. The exact reason for the separation of the
Romulans and Vulcans is a mystery that has troubled historians for many years.
Romulan captains must be very careful because their large torpedo
weapons take a lot of time and energy to charge up |
 |
Physically a Gorn averages around 2 meters in height and masses about 215 kilos. Gorn ships tend to be less maneuverable than those of the other races.
However they make up for this with excellent phaser arcs that allow for a
serious amount of the ships phasers to fire in almost any direction. |
 |
The atmosphere of the Hydran homeworld is rich in methane, which they breathe. This would be uncomfortable (or fatal) to most Federation species. The Hydran starship is the master of the knife fight, specializing in fighting an opponent at close range. Their ships are built extremely well. |
 |
Lyran disposition is similar to that of Klingons. They are fierce and
passionate, with an intense love of combat.
Lyran ships are fast and bristling with weapons, but are generally underpowered. Lyran starships have the
Expanding Sphere Generator (ESG) which can be used both defensively and offensively. |
 |
The ISC
believes in peace at any costs, and will not hesitate to interfere or intervene
in even the most trivial conflict. Their well-shielded ships are heavily armed with Plasma Torpedoes, Phasers, and with their own unique weapon, the Plasmatic Pulsar Device (PPD). |
 |
The Mirak are a race of aggressive predatory carnivores. To be a Mirak is to be
a survivor in harsh conditions, against terrible enemies and predators, both on
the harsh surface of Mirak worlds, and in the cold dark vastness of space. On approaching a Mirak starship, one is at once struck by... Missiles. Many, many Missiles. |
