The Peoples Military

The Peoples Military maintains a fighting force of about 1.4 billion. They are trained to be fanatical fighters- Capable of adapting to any weapons thrown at them, and unafraid to die for the Peoples Soviet Republic... However, this does not mean they are idiots. They are fully capable of combining their fanaticism with years of military training, to become a fearsome fighting force capable of fighting off far larger foes. When the situation calls upon it, they can also turn their cities into massive fortresses, which make the ancient Stalingrad look like a picnic- And every civilian, due to being trained with the military reserves, can pick up a rifle and fight for their homeland.



Infantry Weapons



The KAZ-98 is the standard infantry rifle of the PM. Designed to reliable, robust, and capable of taking a hit, you can drop this thing in a frozen river for 500 years, excavate it, and once you clean the barrel? It will still work perfectly fine. For actual ammunition, it shaves a small piece of titanium off a stick inside the 'magazine', which is then accelerated at 99.87% the speed of light. This means this small projectile, only weighing 15 grams, can punch with a half kiloton of force, and through 855 MMs of steel, with no issue. This rifle is capable of firing 750 of these 15 gram projectiles, a minute. It has a maximum engagement range of 9.4 kilometers.



The KORI-33 is a standard anti-tank, sniper, and anti-material rifle. Just as reliable and robust as the KAZ-98, this anti-tank rifle is a universal standard. It fires a 95 gram projectile at 99.87% the speed of light. This gives it a punching force of 2.9 kilotons, and 5415 MMs of steel. It can reliably fire 75 of these projectiles per minute, at a maximum engagement range of 15.6 kilometers.



The KAVA-05 is a standard infantry armor set. Designed to resist temperatures of up to -250 degrees Celsius, it is well loved for it's ability to stay a perfect temperature, in any weather. In the image, the soldier is carrying a KAZON-96 Shotgun, which fires a spread of 750 15 gram pellets, every two seconds.



Vehicles



The TAV-85 is the standard MBT of the Metran Military. Designed to be reliable, steady, and survivable, this tank will likely see service for another 750 years. Armed with a 125 MM gun, which fires a shell weighing in at 116,123 grams, at 99.87% the speed of light, every half second, can punch through anything which dares stand infront of it. Coming in with a punching force of 3545 kilotons, and 3,478,960 MMs of steel? Nothing will stand infront of the TAV-85. For defense, it uses an advanced Tactical Defense Grid, capable of intercepting kinetic, laser, and plasma based weapons. For anti-infantry defense, it uses two KAZ-98s twin-linked, which can be fired by the commander either inside, or outside, of the tank. It's maximum off-road speed is 105 KP/H.



Spaceships



The OS-34 is the standard mass-produced spaceship of the Peoples Military. Coming in at a fairly short 750 meters long, it's redundancy is praised among crews. It's primary armament is twelve, three-barreled 850MM turrets, with autoloaders. Six of these are arrayed along the top, and six along the bottom. Each gun fires a 789,636.4‬ gram shell at 99.78% the speed of light, which punches at 23727 Kilotons, and through 5,200,000 MMs of steel. The autoloader ensures that a shell can be fired at a rate of 90 per minute, per gun barrel. This means that this can spit out 3,240‬ shells per minute, just from it's main guns. For self defense, it uses a series of 16 CIWS turrets, made of 12 linked KAZ-98 barrels. Other armaments include six 248 cell missile systems, and four 7600 MM torpedo launchers. It's armor is made out of a nano-composite titanium, miraging steel, and carbon fiber mixture, and is an all-round 7.5 meters thick, giving the OS-34 an estimate armor effective thickness of 7.5-15.7 kilometers, depending on the angling, and other factors. The ship is also incredibly redundant- Having dozens of backups, and it's design intent means that it only takes 1 person to pilot home, out of a hostile combat zone. It's also incredibly modular, and quick and easy to repair. It can also deploy 'Parasite' fighters.


The KOS-2 is an older generation of 'Command Ship.' Coming in at 1500 meters long, this is a far more conventional ship size. It has three sets of primary armament- Four permanetly stuck forward firing 1520MMs, which fire a 1,412,055.68‬ gram shell at 9.6x the speed of light, or roughly 407,857 Kilotons of punching force, and 774,000,000 MMs of steel. The speed at which the shell travels also creates a massive explosive force upon hitting the target- Capable of destroying entire battle-fleets in a single hit. These guns can fire four times a minute, each. In terms of secondary armament, it uses an array of twenty four three-barreled 850MM turrets, with autoloaders. Twelve are arrayed along the bottom, and twelve along the top. It also has an array of 24 248 cell missile launch tubes, and uses 96 CIWS turrets, made of 12 linked KAZ-98 barrels. It also has eight 7600MM torpedo launchers. It is defended by an overall 15 Meters of a nano-composite titanium, miraging steel, and carbon fiber mixture, meaning that it's armor effectiveness is nearly 15 kilometers of steel. It can deploy up to 50 parasite fighters.


The KAV-4 is a heavy missile based ship. Coming in at a respectable 2'500 meters long, it's primary armament is a vast array of 'Swarm Reaction Missiles'. These SRMs, loaded 30 to a tube... Are high variable and capable missiles. Each missile travels at 18.4x the speed of light, and pack a variable warhead, from heavy fragmenation rounds, to full on nuclear, EMP, and anti-matter war heads. It's also defended by one terrifying aspect, it's ability to lurk in 'Transitional Space', and fire outside of it with invulnerability. This is a state somewhere between actual Quantum FTL, and Traditional Space. It's unknown the exact methods the warp drive uses to achieve this, but it does make the KAV-4 into a missile barge capable of terrifying and incredible feats.

Along it's length, run a total of twelve sets of 86,000 960 Cell Launchers. These are focused in four different banks, of 3 each. One on the upper port, the upper starboard, the lower port, and lower starboard. It's primary array of defense guns is arranged spinally, using 96 CIWS turrets, made of 12 linked KAZ-98 barrels. Inbetween these turrets, are spaces for more 960 cell launchers- For a total of an extra 768 launchers. This means a full volley, from a single ship? Is composed of nearly ‭29,743,718,400‬ missiles.



The OFAK-19, is the most modern orbital fighter in use with the Peoples Army. Capable of putting down a speed equivelant to 1.5% of the speed of light in a straightline, this agile fighter is a deadly one. It's primary armament is six gun-pods of four KAZ-98 barrels each, along with 48 missile hard-points.
