The Faran

From BluWiki

Faran Military Forces

Spacefleet:

The Royal Faran Star Force is known for its power. It is well funded. All ships are equipped with a combination of kentic pulse chainguns, cannons, and torpedoes. They use several tactics, such a blitzkreig, fleet wall (defensive purposes only), and several others. Their ships are utiltrian in appearance and are very practical. Notable fleets include the 5th, the Milky Way Defense force; the 1st, one of the most elite of all these fleets; and the 731st, famous for their efficent use of blitzkreig tactics. They employ a wide variety of ships for every situation. They employ advanced nuetron drives for sublight propulsion and some new types use a space-time folder drive for FTL travel.

Army:

The Royal Faran Army is well-equipped and trained. Soldiers are equipped with high-quality cyril armor and a devastatiing range of greandes, mines, and guns. They are divided into five levels: Grunt, Elite, Special Forces, Black Ops, and Red Ops. The army employs both men and women for all jobs. There are three notable divisions: the 501st, which is the Conquerer's Marine complement; the 42nd, the Sword's Marine complement, and the 36th, the Royal Guard. Many of their missions are shrouded in secrecy. Their involvement in the famous DoomTrooper Rebellion has never been officially acknowledged.

Navy:

The Faran Royal Navy is a obscure branch of their forces. They use submarines and carriers a lot, but they do not neglect destroyers, cruisers, and other ships. Their ships employ an advanced stealth paint to hide them from sensors. Their combat readouts are similar to their Space Force counterparts, however, their hulls are shaped so they glide easily in water. they are known particulary for their use of air cover.

Air Force:

Another obscure branch. They employ interceptors, fighters, and bombers. The interceptors are fast, light, and speedy. The fighters are slower, but tougher. The bombers are even slower, but can wreak massive havoc when used properly. They employ an advanced gravitron drive that uses gravity and ineritia to propel them. As a result, refueling is unnecessry, but auxilery engines can be used if they are in a low-gravity environment.

Physical information:

A Faran resembles a human, but are more physically capable. Their brains are also more efficent. Average lifespan is almost 10,000 years. Faran males usually grow to be 2 meters tall. Faran females typically grow to be 1.83 to 1.9 meters tall.

Politics:

The Faran are governed by a Senate. The emporer, Bardox Farron, is just a figurehead.

History (to be updated in light of recent events)

Beginnings:

The exact origins of the Faran are a mystery. One thing is known, though: If the Faran know were they are from, they're not telling. Almost nothing is known about the Faran society before 10000 B.C. The Faran as we know them started out from the colony H524. Little is known about this period. What is known is that at that time is that the Faran were in the industrial era. During this time. many new advancements were made. The famous Faran Cyril alloy was first produced. Aulthough nowere near what we know it as today, it was the first Cyril mixture practical for mass production.

9500 B.C. :The Technological Era

During this time, the Faran empire did much of its researching. Their well-known kenetic weapons were first produced during this era. These weapons, at that time, required earmuffs to operate and failed a lot. It would take some time before they were perfected. Their Navy, Army, and Air Force were close to what we know them as today. Massive new training programs were begun and recruitment soared. These new programs made the Faran Armed Forces quite powerful. Their Cyril alloy was almost as strong as the Cyril of modern day. This grayish alloy would form the base of many well-know Faran ships of today. The exact formula is a jealously guarded secret. However, the Faran Empire did not yet possess its well-known space fleet. The first Faran space warships would not be launched for about another 1000 years, during the Space Age.

9000 B.C.: Atomic Age

During this age, the Faran were finally able to perfect an efficent fusion reactor. At last, space travel was practical for them. Before, space travel was limited to a few nearby planets. This was due to the use of ineffective fission reactors. However, now, the Faran Empire can finally take its first steps in space. During this time, one of the most feared atomic weapons was developed: the fusion bomb. Also known as the anti-matter bomb, this terrible weapon combined the destructive power and fallout levels of hundreds of H-bombs. Fortunately, these weapons were never deployed. If they were, whole civilizations could be wiped away in a single stroke.

8300 B.C.: The Space Age

During this time, the Faran Empire had taken steps into space. Several outlying systems were already colonized. However, it still would be a while until the Faran leave the Pegasus Galaxy. With the new resources available to them, the Faran began construction of a exploration fleet. Hundreds of thousands of scouts were being built to explore for new worlds.

8000 B.C.: The Militarization Age

During this time, the Faran Empire began construction of its space fleet. This was for both protection and to escort their scouts. Its first ship was the Hyon. This was a small, one-man fighter. Authough not the Hyon-class we know today, it was still quite poweful. it is estimated that a Hyon-class of that era could effectively take on a Constitution class. As the need for heavier firepower became greater, due to the duscovery of a dense asteroid field, fighters bacame more and more advanced. The Hyon started apporaching modern-day specifications. However, the improved Hyons were not enough. A heavier ship was needed. As a result, the Lorta-class corvette was designed. it featured four kenetic torpedo tubes. It could take out asteroids in a few hits and from a safe distance. However, it was virtually helpless at close range. Also, this ship required some degree of skill to operate. As an answer to this weakness, the Lanov-class was designed. It was armed with kenetic pulse weapons. However, it was rather clunky to control. However, it required little skill to operate. Since these two classes balanced out each other's weaknesses, they are often seen working in conjuntion with each other. However, a new threat emerged in the form of pirates. The corvettes were more suited to stationary targets. To answer this threat, the first capital ships were designed. These were the Jehu and Joggum class destroyers. The Jehu was designed to be a general-use escort. It was well armored and armed. However, it had a little less agility. However, it could easily and cheaply be mass-produced. The Joggum is about as powerful as a destroyer can get. It has a lavish coating of Cyril armor and powerful shields. It was armed to the teeth. What made it even more fearsome was that is was frightenly fast and agile for its size. As more power was needed to fight the pirates, the Faran designed cruisers. These were the Lapor and Laku class. The Lapor was a long-range torpedo cruiser. It was similar to the Lorta. It had heavier armor and weaponry, however. The Laku was a general-purpose cruiser. It had mostly guns and fewer torpedoes. These two cruisers are alos often seen working together. The first Faran space battleship was the Rega class. It was cost-effective and easy to mass-produce. However, they are slightly weaker. To balance this out, the Lakiti was designed. The Lakiti is an upgraded version of the Rega. It is more powerful, however, it was also more expensive. There are more limited in availability. The Hydra was the first Faran dreadnought. It is basically an upgraded version of the Lakiti. It is better armed and protected. However, it is also a bit slower.

8000 B.C.: The Militarization Age (con't)

To solve the problem of fighters running out of fuel, the Faran designed two carriers. The Naka carried more fighters, but was slower and more sluggish to control. The Kiantu carried fewer fighters, but was faster and easier to control. Both types are usually deployed in conjunction with each other. As Faran territories grew, it became impractical for all ships to return to H253 to refuel and refit. As a result, the Faran starbase was desgined. Along the lines of the Earth Sapcedock, this starbase served as a shipyard, spacdock, and a defense platform. Entire fleets have been deciminated attacking one. Each planet of the Faran Empire has 30 of these nearby.

7200 B.C.: The Expansion Age

During this time, much of the Faran territories were settled. After claiming all of the Hydra Galaxy, the Faran explored the nearby Pegasus Galaxy. What was strange was the the Pegasus Galaxy was completely uninhabitated and the Hydra Galaxy was exclusively inhabited by the Faran. In these 6000 years, the Faran claimed almost 4 million planets. The Faran planets are divided into certain infrastructure types. Some are devoted to resource extraction, primarily mining. These planets are usually incredibly rich in minerals. Some planets have very fertile soil and a hospitable climate. These are used to produce food. Some planets have relatively flat and stable ground. These are devoted to industry and manufacturing. Housing planets are like industrial planets, but are chosen with stricter standards. They have to like or close to the environment on H253. In other words, like Earth. All planets have several starports on them for shipping goods around the empire.

1200 B.C.: The Sakturi Wars

During this time, the Sakturi made their first incursions into the galaxy. This race is devoted to nothing but conquest. They attempted to invade this area with a massive fleet. No race before the Sakturi stood a chance. The Faran Empire immediately attacked them. To the surprise of both the Sakturi and the Faran, three Hydra-class dreadnoughts completely destroyed an entire Sakturi fleet division. The seemingly impossible has happened: a race has developed ships vastly superior to the Sakturi's. It took a long time to figure out how this happened, but eventually, we found the answer. The process used to generate shields on a Faran vessel had unintentional side effects. A Faran shield works by drawing raw energy and converting it into a pure, concentrated form of energy. This energy is then projected aroud the vessel. Besides generating extremely powerful shields, this generation process also allows Faran shields to shake off approximately 99.95% of everything thrown at them. A similar property was found on the armor. With this knowledge, the Faran experimented with it. it was applied to their weapons. Their weapons suddenly became over twenty times more powerful and greatly increased theur firing rate. All across the galaxy, a war raged. The Sakturi were losing battle after battle. To add to the humiliation of defeat, the Sakturi witnessed entire battle fleets fall to just a few Faran ships. The Sakturi Wars have started. The Sakturi attempted an invasion of Faran space, but were repulsed. Eventually, the Sakturi realized that the Faran would not give up and they shifted targets. The Sakturi launched an attack on Alpha Quadrant. However, to get there, they would have to pass through Andromeda Quadrant. However, the Faran would surely not be there. They were wrong. Using an ancient jump gate, built by an unknown race for an unknown reason, the Faran were able to quickly reach Andromeda Quadrant. A defensive line was formed, and the Sakturi met the defensive line. However, the Sakturi were determined to not give up this time and are still trying to break through.

300 A.D.: The Tempok Incident

During this time, a new race, known as the Tempok, made brief contact with the Faran Empire. It was not a friendly encounter. A Tempok force set out to invade several Faran planets. However, they were repulsed by a Faran battle fleet. Not much more is known about the Tempok. Many details behind this incident are top-secret. It is hoped that, in the future, we may learn more about the Tempok. Many questions are left to be answered. Questions such as "Who are the Tempok?" "Were did they come from?" "Why did they try to seize some of our planets?" Any efforts to locate the Tempok have proven unsuccessful so far.

3890 A.D.: The Great Alpha Quadrant Civil War (note: this contains spoilers to Voyages of the Conquerer [my first fanfic] read at your own risk)

In the midst of the Earth Empire-Klingon Empire Civil War, the Romulan Star Empire quickly flooded the entire galaxy. Busy fighting each other, the galaxy stood no chance. Soon, 95% of Alpha Quadrant was occupied by the Romulans. However, they overlooked on tiny snag, their old enemy, the Dominion. At this time, the Dominion were staging a revolt from Blender. The Bajoran wormhole was used to quickly assemble forces. However, not even the Dominion could withstand the Romulan's mighty war machine. The Romulans quickly took Konae, capturing the jumpgate there. Their Faran reinforcements were cut off. However, one group of reinforcements managed to sneak past. The FFS Conqueror, under Admiral Vorta, along with some of the 5th Faran Fleet, managed to break the blockade. The Romulans suffered an humilating defeat at Dominion. After that, everything went downhill. The Romulans suffered defeat after defeat. The Konae jump gate was recaptured. The Earth Empire was liberated. Several alliances were formed. The Earth Empire, which was almost completely destroyed, allied with the Faran Empire. Even the Klingon Empire put aside their differences with the Earth Empire and allied with the Faran. Several smaller factions, such as the Tholain Syndicate and the Vulcan command also allied with the Faran. A small fleet, consisting of the Conqueror, Battlestar Atlantica, Burnside, Raven, Crescent, Taurus, Repulse, and the Timberwolves, along with various other ships, lead a revolt against the Romulans. Eventually, Remus was captured. Romulus was now open to attack. A final defense fleet was gathered. It failed. A last stand on the Warhawk failed. The Romulans were also completely destroyed.

3893 A.D.: The Romulan Wars (note: this chapter contains spoilers to Rebirth of the Empire [my second fanfic], read at your own risk)

The Romulans had secretly been in hiding for years, rebuilding. They raided Faran science facilities, stealing technology and research. They had been well along reassembling their fleet and armies before they were discovered. A few major battles erupted and a few narrow escapes. However, the Romulans eventually found themselves defending their most precious ship: a cloning facility. Their defense failed, and the Romulans were defeated. This time, for good.
