The Star Empire had relied on one of the cheapest fighters to fill the ranks of it's aerospace corps. The T-Fighter (found on page 64 of Welcome to the Hotel California), was intended to defeat it's opponent's through superior maneuverability while wearing away at their defenses with it's energy weapons. While it was somewhat effective at this, due to rigorous Imperial training programs, it was only effective at that task against the equally slow and short range native ships.

The design was so simple though, that it took mere weeks, using many AI and automated systems, to produce a functioning prototype of a new analog to the T-Fighter, based on the Tribe's technology. Dubbed the 'Terror Fighter' by it's pilots, the name stuck, and became official when the design went into full production.

Further variations were also born in the heart of SDY labs, and went into production within months of the Terror Fighter being deployed to the IDF fleet. The first of these, the Terror Interceptor, was hugely popular initially, due to the massive speed it could reach, however it was also very expensive, and that speed that made it popular could reach levels that could kill or injure the pilot. For these reasons the Terror Interceptor was deployed in small numbers within the IDF fleet.

Another variant, the Terror Bomber, intended to engage heavier targets, the fighter incorporated Thunderbolt Missiles that hit just hard enough for even a capital ship to start noticing. Initially it was considered using the native proton torpedo launchers, which had a heavier payload, but the short range of the devices made them undesirable. Additionally a space mine dispenser was added, allowing the small fighter to engage in battlefield control as well. The first of these were deployed to the IDF fleet within days of the Interceptors being delivered.

The most elite aerospace squadrons of the IDF received their upgrades a few months later, as the Despair class Terror Fighter joined the IDF's ranks. Much larger, and consequently more expensive, the Despair carried more firepower than any other fighter the system had seen, outgunning even some gunboat small craft. Not only did it incorporate heavier lasers than the previous Terror Fighters, but the design also incorporated systems which could disable enemy craft, stealth technology that made the ship difficult to strike until it got far to close for comfort, and a fighter sized deflector shield that was one of the few technologies native to the 'Verse that the Tribe was happy to gain for themselves.

A direct upgrade of the obsolete Imperial Star Destroyer of the Star Empire (pg 69 of Welcome to the Nebula California). The Shiva Drive Yards, originally the creators of the Imperial Star Destroyer as not only a command ship capable of completing a full scale invasion, but also as a projection of the former emperor's power throughout the 'Verse. The Totem TCS is a platform capable of virtually any operation. Part warship headhunter, part carrier, part military transport, the Totem is designed to not only operate independently of a fleet, but to actually be a fleet, all on it's own.

A massive bay capable of housing small ships up even up to destroyers, with multiple bays for a wide variety of shuttles, small craft and fighters, the Totem not only brings with it a sizable force, capable of being transported inside the ship, but it can recover ships, whether defeated enemies, or broken allies, and get them back into working order. It even carries dropshuttle bays capable of holding the local DropShips, all of which are lacking K-F Booms.

In addition to it's sizable aerospace assets, the Totem carries an absolutely massive ground contingent of 'Mechs and infantry. It also carries the medical and support personnel to support this force. The idea is to carry the necessary manpower, to not only conquer or defend any planet it can reach, but to also be able to maintain it's infrastructure through any attack.

It's weapons load-out is a mix of Capital and Sub-capital lasers and Heavy Naval PPCs. The Naval Lasers and PPCs are set in bays capable of bracketing an enemy ship even at extreme capital range. The Sub-capital lasers are actually independently targeted from each other. While unorthodox, this allows the smaller lasers to seek weaknesses and exposed areas to cause crippling damage, while the stronger bay's combined fire punches holes in the Totem's victims.

A Large Naval Comm Scanner Suite rounds out this ship's capabilities, giving it an absolutely massive sensor range, competing even with specialized ships like the ancient Bug-eyes. This allows the ship to almost always be prepared long in advance of any threat.

To maintain the massive number of personnel, the Totem sports at a minimum Second Class Cabins for every single person on board. It has 28 250-meter grav decks, and support to keep the morale of the passenger's up via field kitchens and medical bays. It is one of the roomiest ships to crew aboard, with plenty to keep an individual busy with even during their off hours.

In the system now nominally controlled by The Tribe, the factions had come to a conclusion regarding combat that differed pretty far from the Inner Sphere's doctrines. Essentially, this local philosophy was that ground combat's most important unit was the infantry trooper. They are what would capture and hold territory, and bring it into any one faction's domain. Everything else was to support that aim.

As such, the Star Empire only fielded two mechs, though they had tried and phased out several others. Both of them were designed for different supporting roles to the main trooper contingents of the Empire's armies. The Tribe having different opinions on the role of the mech, knew that in order to keep power, they would have to ween them off these ideas slowly. As such, the upgraded versions of these two mechs, while still very able to support infantry, took on whole new roles.

When first proposed, The Tribe was wary, not liking the costs invovled in the design, but after consulting local economists, and learning that the labyrinthine economics at play that made even less sense to The Tribe than the Inner Sphere's own economies, but would absolutely support the mass production of these monsters, The Tribe okay's the design.

The original Mech it was replacing filled the ignominious role of armored and heavily armed transport. The Tribe however believed infantry could be moved much more efficiently in other ways, and seeing the command systems already aboard it, decided to discard the transport role, and focus on the command aspects of the design.

When finished the new design had state of the art command and control systems, and heavy enough armor to survive even starship fire. Heavy laser systems capable of burning holes in heavy armor are supported by anti infantry pulse lasers and grenade launchers.

Though nominally a scout and recon unit, the Star Empire often used these in an Anti-Armor role as well. Replacing the blasters with ER Large Lasers has brought that out in this design. It also replaced the small anti-infantry blaster on the side with a pulse laser that was much better at the job. Overall very little changed in the design, but the end product left the ground forces of the Star Empire wanting more.

Capital Shield Generator                                               1000.00

With the experiences against the Black Sun Cartel and other pirate groups, the SDY began plans on a ship designed to shore up the IDF's apparent weakness to fighters.

On searching through Star Empire logs, they came across the Lancer class Frigate. A relatively small ship whose sole purpose was to slaughter fighters. This was to be their starting platform. The design was very simple, it mounted numerous quad laser turrets and would use them to bring down fighters using bracketing fire and anti-fighter firing modes.

The first thing the design team did was strip the blaster technology of any scale of the ship and through it in the same trash bin they had been using for all the other redesigns. Initially they did a simple replace of the blaster tech for class 45 naval lasers. The extreme range of the weapons would allow the crew to begin engaging fighters far outside of return fire range.

Unfortunately the ship still proved vulnerable to massed squadron attacks. While effective when the did hit, the Naval Lasers couldn't destroy small targets quickly enough to prevent the point blank torpedo attacks it was intended to stop. The design team added a second, then a third layer of lasers. The second consisted of Class 2 Sub-Capital Lasers. These hit hard enough and at sufficiently long range while being able to track small targets better than the naval lasers could. It was still found to be not enough. The admiralty wanted the ship to be able to account for 6 12-fighter squadrons before they could do significant damage to anything.

The third layer of weapons was a series of extended ranged and pulse large lasers, like the capital weapons, these too were mounted in quad bays. The result was an impressive light show. It was also considerably dangerous for enemy fighters. Unfortunately, in an impromptu live fire test, it was still shown to not be quite where it needed to be. One of the self styled 'crime barons' had gotten word of the project, and that it was nearing completion. He struck at the prototype ship during it's shakedown cruise. It managed to destroy hundreds of fighters, but ended up falling to barrages of the proton torpedoes that this system is so fond of.

Despite the loss, funding for the project was still in the green, thanks to the seemingly arbitrary vagaries of the system's economy, so it continued. The next step the design team took proved to be the last one needed. They installed a massive array of quad laser antimissile bays.

Since it's deployment, the Spear Escort Frigate has proven to be an able escort to the Totem TCSs. It has been regarded in-system as so effective that most 'fights' end up being chases instead of fights. The Tribe's Star Empire Fighter Corps is especially happy with the ship, since with it there, they can engage large targets that are unable to deal with such maneuverable fighters, as the Spear simply annihilates the enemy fighter screens.

Unfortunately, outside the umbrella of a Totem's guns, the Lancer has proven vulnerable to some of the larger and faster capital ships in the ships in the system. It's broadside, while dangerous if within fighter range, is not the most powerful, and it can be overwhelmed. Especially ships with multiple capital deflector shields can prove more than a match for the frigate.

By the time the first Totem TCSs were rolling off the line, SDY was already unveiling plans for another capital ship. Revisiting old designs had allowed even their impressive automated processes to design a ship quicker than would otherwise be possible, even for their impressive facilities.

Shiva Drive Yards took the old Venator carrier/destroyers, and upgraded them with the weapon systems and technology that the Tribe provided. Compared to the Totem, the Demagogue is rather under-gunned, however it's massive fleet of aerospace fighters can take down most foes, while allowing the carrier to use it's weapon bays in a surgical manner, taking down targets that are giving the fighters too much trouble.

In addition to this the defense arrays of the ship allow it to be very well defended against most missile attacks, including the short-range-but-dangerous native proton torpedoes. Dual shield generators protect the ship even before the enemy weapons have to deal with it's thick hull and heavily reinforced structure.

A sensor and communications suite tied into the ship's command functions allow ideal battlefield control, and help coordinate the massive number of fighters fielded by the ship.

Rendelli StarDrive began work on the Shaman at nearly the same time as Shiva Drive Yards began working on the Demagogue class carrier's design. The lesser known shipyard in orbit around Rubicon was trying to bid for a military contract. When the Demagogue was completed in record time, Shiva Drive Yards entered into a joint partnership with the smaller corporation and helped them complete the design in what they called the 'Victory Initiative'. In the end merging, and bringing both businesses into the IDF's supply and logistics contracts.

With the lack of PDS defenses in the 'Verse, a missile boat was deemed to be especially dangerous. Capable of crippling ships much larger and generally more powerful than itself, with repeated missile attacks, the Shaman was a welcome addition to the Tribe's ever growing fleets.

It also carried a small invasion force of a few 'Mechs and a large contingent of infantry, with transports for both. Defensively it carries twenty-four fighters and has an array of lasers designed to drive away opponents that get too close, preferring to keep them at range.

The biggest weakness of the design is it's speed, however that is offset by a combination of sensor range and the interstellar capabilities of capital missiles.

With the AT-AT being replaced by the AT-CM the Tribe needed a replacement for it's heavy infantry carrier. The designers on Shiva looked through their archives and discovered a super-heavy wheeled vehicle that housed up to 300 troopers at a time. It was decided to bring that back, and update it with weaponry that would be well suited to supporting the infantry it carried. This was the result.

The new design would move to a tracked motive system, and became even more heavily armored than the originals. Capable of operating even on the surface of the water. They incorporated stealth and ECM elements into the design as well, ensuring that it was able to weather nearly any storm of fire. It doesn't carry the full 300 troops the original did, but the amount it does carry is more enough to cover any needs a battlefield might have.

Shiva Drive Yards debuted this revamp of an old design. A fusion of the stable multi-legged predecessor, with the upright posture of a more traditional BattleMech, the tripod design was able to fill a niche roll in infantry support. Designed to support the massive number of troops the Tribe and the IDF had at it's disposal in the war in the Black Sun system, it offered a mix of long and short range anti infantry capability, anti-air , and defensive and sensor systems that could aid a large force.
