From TenchiMuyo3*@*msn.com Fri Mar 13 17:54:12 1998 Date: Thu, 12 Mar 1998 19:03:10 +0100 From: Tenchi Muyo wielding the Illumina sword Newsgroups: alt.fan.sailor-moon Subject: [OW!R][WG] Stormlance (update) So, here's an update to the original WG which contains the info I left out in the original one... STORMLANCE -> Affiliation: Veechanian flagship Appearance: Somewhat like a completely redesigned "USS Voyager" - most striking difference are the gun turrets mounted all over. It is bloodred with silver weapon mounts and the insignia it bears is a flaming sword with wings, framed by a golden V. Personality: The Stormlance computer core is programmed with the voice and the behavioral patterns of Minako. It also has a highly sophisticated anti-virus sytem that prevents possibly harmful viruses (intended to change the voice, the behavior or whatsoever) from being loaded. Objectives: To serve the divine Minako - General Tenchi has the highest command priority over this ship. Weapons/Powers: Shields: Unlike the Voyager's shield who have a distinct ferquency, the Stormlance and the fighters have Phase-Flux shields which rotate the shield's phase several hundred times a second at a random pattern. The shields are also equipped with a shock-absorbing system so that exceedingly large energy bursts are dissipated among the whole shields so that they cannot cause the shields to get very thin in a point or even get holes. The Stormlance itself has 20 gun turrets (10 on the upper and 10 on the lower side): 8 heavy ER Particle Projector Cannons (PPC)/42, 6 LB-X Autocannon/50s and 6 heavy Gauss Rifles/42. Ammo for the two latter weapons can be produced aboard if it should run out. Also, it has a photon torpedo /20s pod on each side. Its shields are Destroyer Class Phase-Flux shields. Fighters: The Stormlance carries 42 fighters. The below given configurations are standardly used, but there is plenty of equipment for them avaiable so that they can be reconfigured with whatever should be needed. 14 Visigoth Fighters (60t): The Visigoth is mostly used as interceptor, but is also often used to bomb enemy ships from a distance with its long range missiles and the Extreme-Range PPC. Should it come to closer combat, it can additionally make use of its medium ER lasers. It is equipped with 10,5t of alufiber armor and 16 double heatsinks. The armament consits of one ER-PPC, four medium ER lasers and 2 LSR/20 pods, both equipped with an Artemis IV guidance system and two tons of ammo. Its shields are durable Bomber Class Phase-Flux shields. Cruising speed 350kps, full speed 550kps. 14 Sabutai Fighters (75t): The new Sabutai is designed for direct combat with other fighters or also with bigger targets. With its combination of ER PPCs, LB-X Autocannon/20s and ER lasers, it's already an fearsome fighter. Its equipment consits of 10t of alufiber armor and 15 double heatsinks and is armed with 2 ER PPCs, 2 LB-X Autocannon/20s with 2t ammo each, 3 medium ER lasers and a light ER laser. Its shields are heavy Combat Class Phase-Flux shields. Cruising speed 300kps, full speed 450 kps. 14 Scytha Fighters (90t): With it's excellent armament, the Scytha's purposes are primary assaults and raids onto heavy fighters and capital ships, and it especially excels in a high degree of maneuverability. To further add onto this, it can use its Gauss Rifles and ER PPCs to start the assault already from a distance and then add its ER lasers when it comes closer. With 14t of alufiber armor it is well protected, and due to its 20 double heatsinks it has good heat dissipation abilities. Its armament are two Gauss Rifles with 1t of ammo each, 2 ER PPCs, 4 medium ER lasers and a light ER laser. Its shields are especially strong Assault Class shields. Cruising speed 300 kps, full speed 450 kps. The Stormlance is equipped with a dimensional travel device which is much more effective thatn the normally used warp drives. Besides that, it is also equipped with a cloaking device. -> Allies: Veechanians, Minakochanians (without the Fallen One, but he isn't a Minakochanian anymore anyways), Minako&Reichanians (I think) -> Enemies: all enemies of Sailor Venus (Doh!), The Fallen One (Nightman) for spreading foul, malicious defamation about me - This calls for a severe maiming, mon ami! (also for deserting the divine Minako). Other Notes: The fighter's technical data is based upon the "Battletech Technical Readout 3052", but the configurations were changed where I deemed it neccessary. The fighter's descriptions as well as the Stormlance's armament and the shields were thought up by me. -- Tenchi (remove the stars before e-mailing) Manga Buddha O:-) aka "Attila the Hun with his Supernova Mech" Proud owner of a kooky imploding mango "Bellae Hoplitae Nautae Lunae" amandae sunt!
