Felucian Planetary Republic wrote:I'm going to guess that since the Venator Class Star Destroyers were mainly used as Starfighter Carriers, they were given such few weapons (at least when compared to other ships), hoping to rely on their complement to attack for and defend them.
Should I make a Venator Class Star Destroyer constructed without the hangar bay along the top, using the space to house more soldiers and vehicles, and giving them more weapons?

I always found the huge hangar bay at the top to be a major weakness, seeing as it takes a while to open and close.

It would probably be best to get rid of that, and then beef up the ship with far more weaponry while also keeping a hangar bay on the side for some starfighters.

I think it's smaller size compared to other capital ships makes it good for either a long range artillery unit to slug it out from far away using a small size and immense distance to avoid incoming fire or to be an anti-strikecraft ship to shoot down fighters and bombers.

Just that the hangar gives them the ability to perform duties of a light carrier as well.

Hangar would be best if it was in an artillery role, where it is unlikely the ship would be fired upon from above, whereas a flak role in the midst of a fleet would likely do better with more turret mounts.

(OOC: This take place in 2006)

In 2006, in a rather bold move, Emperor Turner ordered the illegal invasion of the Orsonian Congo; days prior, the Imperial Senate had passed the bill to make the Congo a free nation, after negotiating with its leaders. This was the last straw for the Senate, after his already brutal conquests of various territories that had separated from the Empire during the 2nd Orson Civil War and other grievances. Turner was arrested by agents of the Orson Intelligence Agency in his office in Central Plaza, on charges of high treason and abuse of Imperial power. He was imprisoned at a jail in western Fort Victorium while he awaited trial before the Imperial High Court. However, the Imperial Military, whose members were completely loyal to Turner, were determined to install him back into power no matter what the cost. Imperial High Command ordered a force of 100 soldiers, led by Captain Kodo Donnall, to break into the jail and free Turner from his cell.

*It is currently 1:00 AM in the morning. Turner is asleep in his cell when he is suddenly startled awake by the sound of gunfire and explosions. He looks out the small slot of his cell door and sees guards moving down the hall, armed with pistols and rifles. Other prisoners have been awakened as well, and they are just as puzzled by what is going on. Minutes pass, and eventually, Captain Donnall and 20 of his soldiers show up in the hall and aim their weapons at the guards*

Captain Donnall: *Aims his assault rifle at the lead guard* Order them to stand down, now.

Lead Guard: *Aims his pistol at the captain, and his hands are shaking nervously* I...I can't do that. You've...illegally broken into this facility and opened fire on government employees! You...you-

Captain Donnall: Look, if you think you and your rent-a-cops are going to take us down, you're dead wrong- hell, you can't even aim your pistol right. We've been fighting for the Empire for years and are well trained. It isn't worth it, man. Give the order.

Lead Guard: *Pauses for a few seconds and then shakes his head yes. He gives a gesture signalling to the guards to lower their weapons, and they do*

Captain Donnall: Soldiers, secure their weapons. I'm going to free our target.

*As the soldiers confiscate the weapons of the guards, the captain unlocks Turner's cell door. Turner looks at him as he is still trying to process what is going on*

Captain Donnall: Greetings, M'Lord! I am Captain Kodo Donnall, leader of our little force. Your freedom awaits!

Turner: *He finally realizes what is happening, and a smile forms on his face* I knew the Imperial Military would come through for me in the end!

Captain Donnall: Well, we certainly couldn't let you be put away by the corrupt bastards in the Senate. Imperial High Command thinks it's about time that you...fully assert your control over the nation, once and for all.

Turner: After my arrest, I think so as well. Once my new reign is established, you and your soldiers will be compensated by me personally for this endeavor.

*They both leave the cell, and a lieutenant is waiting for them*

Lieutenant: M'Lord, I presume you know how to use a gun, correct?

Turner: Absolutely.

Lieutenant: *Hands Turner an assault rifle, a bulletproof vest, and ammunition* The vest is for your personal protection. OIA agents are going to be surrounding this jail very soon, and you don't want to be caught unarmed in a firefight.

Captain Donnall: Alright, enough small talk. We need to get the hell out of here, and quickly.

Turner: *Puts on vest and loads a magazine into the rifle* Lead the way, captain.

*Some time passes. The captain, Turner and 10 of the soldiers exit out of a back door, while the rest of the force waits behind at the prison to confront the incoming OIA agents and the Victorium police. Sirens can be heard as all 12 of then enter into a back alley behind two apartment buildings*

Turner: Captain...what's next after this?

Captain Donnall: Well, we are taking you a location not far from here, where more Imperial soldiers will be located to take you out of the city. High Command wants you to law low in the Australian Outback until you are in a position to take back control of the Empire. After that...it's up to you. You're the boss. What do you plan to do about the Senate?

Turner: The Senate cannot be allowed to exist any longer. Certainly after this little incident, they will want me dead.

Captain Donnall: I'm looking forward to it. I see a new golden age for Orson in your reign, Emperor.

Turner: As do I, Captain.

*They continue on to the extraction point. Turner is smuggled out of Fort Victorium, and hides at a secret location far from civilization until he can secure absolute power over the Empire*

Interesting.
I'm surprised OSI didn't contract mercs or something. Surely they knew about the devotion of the military to Turner. Failing to anticipate a strike to free him was a colossal error.

What is your nation's Policy on Nuclear Torpedoes?

The Ocearan Army unofficially has a stockpile of Nuclear Torpedoes in underwater facilities near the Island of Oceara --- Placed there in 2013 to defend the fledgling nation from naval invasion from any of the Great Powers. Luckily these torpedoes never needed to be used, as they would cause a lot of damage to the environment and to any ships passing by for many miles around.

Very interesting. Andrew was quite intrigued, though not really surprised when he heard of Turner's escape, as he saw it as a inevitable thing that would occur. Though he was surprised to hear it was the military and not some freelance mercenaries who carried out the task.

Luckily these torpedoes never needed to be used, as they would cause a lot of damage to the environment and to any ships passing by for many miles around.

The Andrewian Military has a large stockpile of nuclear weapons and an assortment of methods to deliver these nuclear payloads. From ranged missiles(from short to long) underground and underwater, to a massive artillery gun that can shoot nuclear shells a long distance to nuclear torpedoes, we stand by it.

We believe that every nation has the right to WMDs. We do not think that countries have the right to tell others they cannot make these weapons, only for them to hold such a stockpile (irl US is prime example) and so therefore, if they can have WMDs of sorts, then we ourselves are open to just that.

A night with the boys:

Alex was sitting in his throne room, listening to a report about a new Tomb World that had been found only to feel a presence in the room. Two, actually. He turned around and saw Thomas Eichhorst and Thaddeus Roth standing behind him, Eichhorst smiling broadly, Thaddeus looking bored. "Are you busy Herr Mercer?" "No...why?" Thaddeus replied "We want to do something fun. It was his idea." Alex said "The last time I did something Eichhorst thought was fun, we were detained by Andrewian police and he had to explain the fact that he was a vampire. They didn't take it well. Let's just say all in all it required around 20 mind wipes and a mass Healing." Eichhorst said "But you admit it was fun. Come. Carpe Nocteum!"

Alex had Displaced them to a warehouse of a crime syndicate. He smirked and decided each of them would take out one of the sentries.

Thaddeus: Thaddeus walked up to his assigned target and said "Why hello Clarisse." In his best Hannibal Lecter impression. It was very good. After all, he had interviewed and treated him before. The sentry told him, for lack of better terms, to go fornicate himself. Thaddeus just continued talking. The man quickly became fed up and shot him in between the eyes. He turned back to his post when he heard a dry, taunting voice say "I'm quite afraid that didn't work you troglodyte." Thaddeus got up off the ground, and in a single move, disarmed the man and shot him in the head with his own pistol until the magazine was empty. Thaddeus brushed off his suit and continued walking toward the warehouse.

Alex: Alex had opted for a much more dramatic entrance. He had grown large black wings, flown up to ten thousand feet, and smashed into the ground in front of the guard. He retracted the biomass wings and approached the terrified sentry. The bullets fired were reflected back at him. He grabbed the man and chucked him into the air before morphing his arm into a long biomass chain with a grapple at the end. He reeled the screaming man in, and sent him flying again before using the chain to rip him in half in midair. He Consumed him before he even started to fall. He regrew the wings and decided to burst in, through the skylight as he saw the firefight already in progress.

Eichhorst: Eichhorst approached his guard. This guard took no chances when it came to security and promptly fired off a round at Eichhorsts head. At least, where it had been two milliseconds ago. He had already vanished. Eichhorst grabbed the man's gun, breaking his hand in the process, and crumpled it into a ball. Then man decided to try to punch him. He let loose a haymaker. It impacted. It should have decked anyone else, but Eichhorst did not move at all, nor even flinch. The guards hand, on the other hand, broke on impact with Eichhorsts face. He nursed his two broken hands as Eichhorst reached and rubbed where he had been punched. His make-up he wore to disguise his appearance had been smudged, revealing the corpse pale skin below and the white "blood" running through his veins. He immediately opened his mouth, and shot out hi stinger to feed on the guard. His screams never left his throat. After a thoroughly enjoyable blood meal, he crushed the man's head open using his shoe, and then walked off toward the warehouse as though absolutely nothing had happened, leaving a very bloody mess beneath the flickering streetlight.

All: Thaddeus had approached the back door, and shot both guards in the head. After entering, he was discovered by two more, which he dispatched with his knife. He was wounded in the process, so he slit his own throat and came back to life a second later. He continued inside, only to be found by a larger group. He killed them all, but not before one of them sounded an alarm. After killing himself again, he grabbed an assault rifle from a dead guard, and opened fire.

Eichhorst smirked as he heard gunfire. He heard and felt over fifty heartbeats. He smelled the blood flowing through their veins. He was excited. Lots of B positive. He sped up, ambushed and drained the two door guards. He made his through the warehouse much more stealthily than Thaddeus had, and was soon overlooking the main room, where several large crates of weapons and narcotics were stored. He wrinkled his nose at the smell. He leapt down, using his speed and superior strength to blitz the people firing on Thaddeus, punching them into walls and sometimes outright killing them. After snapping a neck, he zipped around and began feeding again.

The troops moved toward the center of the warehouse, under the skylight, where they had a few heavier weapons, like a machine gun. Eichhorst dodged most of the bullets, but was stitched a few times in the chest. The bullets didn't really do anything, nor did he feel their impact, but he was annoyed that he had been hit at all. Thaddeus took care to aim for the heads, and switched to his pistol after he was out of ammo, steadily closing in. He had an idea. He started shooting out all the lights.

As the lights were shot out, they crowded under the skylight. There was suddenly a huge crash and something burst through the skylight. They looked on in horror as large wings unfurled, and blood red eyes glowed in the dark as a head jerked up. What followed was a massacre. Alex laughed madly as he ripped people apart, Consumed them, killed them in the most gruesome ways imaginable. Eichhorst joined in the design frenzy, determined not to let Alex get all the food. Thaddeus backed away cautiously but continued to fire.

When all was said and done, Alex stood in a sea of blood and Eichhorst was smashing heads of those he fed on. Thaddeus was reading a book, lounging on a crate. Alex said "We should do this more often!" Everyone present agreed.

OOC: It's OIA, not OSI.

And yes, OIA and even the Imperial Senate certainly knew about, but there was little they could do it about. Turner was practically untouchable, and by arresting him, they essentially doomed the constitutional monarchy forever; Turner's arrest gave him all the justification he needed to dissolve the Senate and assume absolute power over Orson. On top of all of this, the people of Orson were also very loyal to Turner and had no loyalty at all to the Senate or Orson's democratic principles.

If the Imperial Military hadn't intervened, then it is likely that Turner would have stood trial and be sentenced to the death penalty for his crimes. However, Orson still wouldn't survive this; the people would have revolted if Turner was killed and a 3rd Civil War would begin, and it is likely that the Empire would have collapsed from this war.

If anything, it really shows how influential Turner was in Orson at the time. He not only had the Imperial Military at his command, but the vast majority of the population supported him as well.

Venator II Class Star Destroyer
The Venator II Class Star Destroyer is a prototype Star Destroyer Class of three ships, the FSB Paladin, FSB Kagero, and FSB Oracle, based on the design of the Venator Class Star Destroyer that fixes some concerns involving little armament despite the spacious areas on the ship class. Although the Venator II is based on the Venator, the ship's role is to serve as a Battleship, but will also contain some starfighters for atmospheric assaults and outer space battles. The average size of the Venator II Class is the same as the Venator: 1,137 meters in length, 548 meters in width, and 268 meters in height, with its Max Acceleration (3,000 G), Maximum Speed (975 km/h), and Hyperdrive Rating (Class 1.0, Backup Class 15) being the same as the Venator's. A notable difference between the two classes is that the Hyperdrive Range of the Venator II Class is more effective than the Venator's, having a range of over 150,000 Light Years rather than the Venator's range of 60,000 Light Years. The complement is also different, as the Venator II removes the hangar space along the spine on the top of the ship from the Venator to add more space for land vehicles, troops, and weapons such as turbolasers. The ventral hangar bay and the hangar bays on the sides of the Venator stay in the design of the Venator II and are used for more strategic purposes/times of need.

The Venator II holds up to 291 starfighters and land vehicles in total compared to the 485 starfighters and land vehicles held by the Venator along the ventral, hull, port, and starboard sides of the ship. The hull's large hangar bay armored doors were replaced, which removed 194 starfighters from the Venator II's Complement. Each Venator II can hold up to forty (40) LAAT/i Gunships, fifty (50) Alpha-3 Nimbus-Class V-wings, fifty (50) Eta-2 Actis-Class Light Interceptors, twenty (20) TIE/HU Hunter Multi-Role Starfighters, forty (40) Lambda T-4a Shuttles, twenty (20) BTL-A4 Y-Wings, ten (10) Aggressive ReConnaissance-170 Starfighters, twenty (20) AT-TE's, forty (40) AT-RT's (2 in each AT-TE to save space), twenty (20) AT-ST's, ten (10) AT-AT's, fifty (50) 74-Z Speeder Bikes (5 in each AT-AT to save space), five (5) HAVw A6 Juggernauts, four (4) UT-AT's, and two (2) AT-HDT's.

The Venator II is armed with eight (8) DBY-827 Heavy Dual Turbolaser Turrets, one (1) S-PHA Turbolaser in the Ventral Hangar, forty (40) XX-10 Turbolaser Towers, eighty (80) XX-9 Heavy Turbolasers, twenty (20) Quad Turbolaser Batteries, two hundred (200) Mass Driver Cannons along both sides of the ship in total, seventy (70) Point-defense laser cannons, ten (10) Tractor beam projectors, two (2) Medium Dual Turbolaser Cannons, four (4) Heavy Proton Torpedo Tubes (16 torpedoes each), six (6) Corrosive Warhead Torpedo Launchers (12 torpedoes each), thirty (30) Pod Walker Heavy Turbolasers, fifty (50) concealed Kilika Hardlight Repeater Turrets, and forty (40) NK-7 Ion Cannons. The Venator II has a total of 290 weapons along the top and bottom of each ship, not including turrets and other weapons alongside the ship for protection, Missile/Torpedo Tubes, Tractor Beam Projectors, or weapons in hangars. The Kilika Hardlight Repeater Turrets are concealed alongside Mass Driver Cannons on the sides of the ship and help protect outgoing and incoming allied starfighters launching or approaching the hangars.

Ocearan Planetary Defense Force Bombers
The Ocearan PDF, a technically secret force until it's disbanding and integration to the Ocearan Terran Defense Initiative in the 2090s, represents Oceara's first line of defense against spacefaring civilizations. Their bombers are designed to be protected by millions of fighter drones to act as a screen, their intention being to destroy enemy capital ships and other threatening craft. These bombers came in several models with differing designs, some of their structural designs resurface hundreds of years later in future fighter designs by the Ocearan Space Navy. These bombers were never known to have been even launched due to their secrecy at the time and thus never used in war, but that is mostly due to the fact Oceara hadn't gone to war with a Spacefaring civilization pre-2090s.

MKI(2016):
An interestingly shaped bomber with six protruding structures with some sort of shield-like structure attached to them, these structures are in fact EM Field Emitters to create electromagnetic fields so intense that it creates a vacuum around the bomber to prevent heating issues related to their hypersonic speeds. They are equipped with a single nose-mounted Nuclear Shard Railgun (A description of this weapon will be at the bottom of this post) and a single rear-guarding magnetic machinegun turret for point defense.

MKII(2018):
A more elegant-looking bomber compared to the MKI, equipped with four EM Field Emitter structures that are in fact more powerful than the previous version and can create a pulse in the front of the bomber to create a bubble of vacuum that projects outward from the bomber -- allowing for the 2 Nose-mounted NSRs to fire from within Earth's Atmosphere without being immediately destroyed. It comes equipped with two rear-facing Mag-MG Turrets and 1 Forward-facing Mag-MG Turret to protect against fighters and missiles.

MKIII(2050):
At the time the single most advanced craft Ocearans had ever constructed, being a large bomber with a crew of 5 instead of just one operator. It has no protruding structures for it's emitters making them less vulnerable to enemy energy weapons, it also is equipped with one of the first Plasma Shields used by Ocearan Spacecraft giving it some increased defense against both solid projectiles and energy weapons. It is equipped with 4 rotating rings each equipped with a Quad-NSR Turret giving it 360 degree targeting capabilities regardless of it's facing direction as well as having 8 More rotating rings equipped with Quad Laser-repeaters for point defense and fighter defense. The EM Field Emitter is actually in the middle of the ship and is actually the ship's FTL Drive, meaning the ship is not only capable of faster-than-light travel across the immense distances of space but also capable of bending space to reduce the accuracy of enemy weapons systems. The MKIII Also has a great number of panels that can open up to reveal radiators to space to radiate heat from the craft back into space in the form of Infra-red light to give it some extra survivability against hits by Energy weapons. However it's more advanced systems can only be ran for a short amount of time due to inefficient energy management, making even the internal fusion reactors insufficient to run all systems at maximum capacity.

Nuclear-Shard Railgun:
The Nuclear Shard Railgun, or NSR is Oceara's first anti-capital weapon and still holds it own as a viable option for space combat even a thousand years later for large groups of mass-produced bombers. It is basically a railgun that fires multiple metal "Shards" at speeds sufficient for nuclear fusion of the material meaning whenever the shards decelerate (By hitting armor, hull, or a shield) the back-most atoms would be traveling fast enough to hit the decelerated front-most atoms at fusion velocities causing a fusion event. The Idea is to overwhelm enemy defenses with large numbers of fusion events to allow for the bringing down of shields and the destruction of hull even with smaller numbers of ships.

She smiles and charges, shooting out her stinger while four more Drakul charge from every direction.

I smirk and spin around my scythe cutting down all the drakul and I throw my scythe into the air and I begin attacking Juliet with a barrage of punches and kicks making them flow together effortlessly."I never caught your name."I say calmly.

She jumps, kicking you in the face a few times. "Juliet. Your turn to give your name."

"Name's Ray Asato."I say skidding backwards holding my broken nose and I pop it back into place."Thanks for the riveting battle by the way. First time I've ever felt so alive."I say smiling."So thanks."

The Venator II Class Star Destroyer is a prototype Star Destroyer Class of three ships, the FSB Paladin, FSB Kagero, and FSB Oracle, based on the design of the Venator Class Star Destroyer that fixes some concerns involving little armament despite the spacious areas on the ship class. Although the Venator II is based on the Venator, the ship's role is to serve as a Battleship, but will also contain some starfighters for atmospheric assaults and outer space battles. The average size of the Venator II Class is the same as the Venator: 1,137 meters in length, 548 meters in width, and 268 meters in height, with its Max Acceleration (3,000 G), Maximum Speed (975 km/h), and Hyperdrive Rating (Class 1.0, Backup Class 15) being the same as the Venator's. A notable difference between the two classes is that the Hyperdrive Range of the Venator II Class is more effective than the Venator's, having a range of over 150,000 Light Years rather than the Venator's range of 60,000 Light Years. The complement is also different, as the Venator II removes the hangar space along the spine on the top of the ship from the Venator to add more space for land vehicles, troops, and weapons such as turbolasers. The ventral hangar bay and the hangar bays on the sides of the Venator stay in the design of the Venator II and are used for more strategic purposes/times of need.
The Venator II holds up to 291 starfighters and land vehicles in total compared to the 485 starfighters and land vehicles held by the Venator along the ventral, hull, port, and starboard sides of the ship. The hull's large hangar bay armored doors were replaced, which removed 194 starfighters from the Venator II's Complement. Each Venator II can hold up to forty (40) LAAT/i Gunships, fifty (50) Alpha-3 Nimbus-Class V-wings, fifty (50) Eta-2 Actis-Class Light Interceptors, twenty (20) TIE/HU Hunter Multi-Role Starfighters, forty (40) Lambda T-4a Shuttles, twenty (20) BTL-A4 Y-Wings, ten (10) Aggressive ReConnaissance-170 Starfighters, twenty (20) AT-TE's, forty (40) AT-RT's (2 in each AT-TE to save space), twenty (20) AT-ST's, ten (10) AT-AT's, fifty (50) 74-Z Speeder Bikes (5 in each AT-AT to save space), five (5) HAVw A6 Juggernauts, four (4) UT-AT's, and two (2) AT-HDT's.
The Venator II is armed with eight (8) DBY-827 Heavy Dual Turbolaser Turrets, one (1) S-PHA Turbolaser in the Ventral Hangar, forty (40) XX-10 Turbolaser Towers, eighty (80) XX-9 Heavy Turbolasers, twenty (20) Quad Turbolaser Batteries, two hundred (200) Mass Driver Cannons along both sides of the ship in total, seventy (70) Point-defense laser cannons, ten (10) Tractor beam projectors, two (2) Medium Dual Turbolaser Cannons, four (4) Heavy Proton Torpedo Tubes (16 torpedoes each), six (6) Corrosive Warhead Torpedo Launchers (12 torpedoes each), thirty (30) Pod Walker Heavy Turbolasers, fifty (50) concealed Kilika Hardlight Repeater Turrets, and forty (40) NK-7 Ion Cannons. The Venator II has a total of 290 weapons along the top and bottom of each ship, not including turrets and other weapons alongside the ship for protection, Missile/Torpedo Tubes, Tractor Beam Projectors, or weapons in hangars. The Kilika Hardlight Repeater Turrets are concealed alongside Mass Driver Cannons on the sides of the ship and help protect outgoing and incoming allied starfighters launching or approaching the hangars.

Hm....I was using my school laptop, so the images used where the only ones I could actually use with all of the others being on websites blocked by the school/school system...

So here are some other possible designs for the Venator II:

"Your welcome?" She says, confused.

Have you guys ever worked so hard to earn money for something, only for one your relatives to trade/sell it for something that's not near its value at all the next day?

I have. If it wasn't for my mom, I would have strangled my youngest brother for it....I don't have a job, so earning that money back is going to take a long time.
