Alcandar opened a holo-call. "Fifty thousand?! Were you dropped on the head as a child? Do you have any idea what the Eliksni have done? They commited mass genocide on a planetary scale, so you only allow 50 thousand soldiers to commit war against an interstellar empire?"

"50k soldiers, naval personnel do not count. Commit the same crimes they committed against you."

During preparation for the Roth-Eliksni war to come, the CDA finally decides to switch to ballistic/kinetic weaponry instead of its usual energy weapons. Energy weapons would still be maintained in Expeditionary Fleets and Anti-Tank weapons/Artillery but firearms would be predominantly kinetic. The switch was rather easy, as R-1 Assault Rifles were already in common use. Some marines protested, but with the release of the SC 42 it would allow marines to customize their own weapons (within a budget) to their own likings.*

A common grunt can't make his rifle have attachments that deviate far from intended goal, like not like super special (like having the barrel change to 250mm or something, not possible you get the point), more like modifications here and there to the soldiers liking*
It also has to be submited and registered, kept taken care of and of course before submitting it they have to be checked to see if it can work out in combat. Of course 99% of the time itll be practical for the combat needs, as clones are well-versed in combat weapons. The weapons are regulated too, so no night-vision scopes in daytime combat scenarios etc. I'm pretty sure I gave a bad explanation sorry :D

How common is AI? Are there Self-Aware Robots just walking around on Earth or are they just outright banned?

ai is present in much of the military and a lot of civilian life

they can run cities and similar things

they can run vehicles and starships

they can wirelessly connect to things if they need to, much like a transportation grid

pretty much every home has at least ai system in the richer countries

No self-aware AI allowed in Rothella ;)
Self-Aware intellgent robots are believed to be extinct after an "update" that was maybe possibly a virus. Those that somehow survived are in criminal syndicates or in hiding. The only "AI" are those who assist in research, industry, and more, not intelligent enough to be self-aware but still solve algorithms etc.

well yea

same for these nations

theyre programmed instead of being sentient or aware
