Nation name: Star Kingdom of Adrasa
Government: Functions like an absolute Monarchy. The ruling monarch holds absolute power without constitutional restrictions, the word of the monarch is law. In Adrasan society, however, the successor to the throne is not the first born child of the previous monarch but is instead chosen from the general population based upon his or her aptitude. Every subject is assigned a role dependent upon their ability and every subject has the exact same goal; The protection of their species.
Leader: Queen Salra Jul Adrasa. Every monarch forfiets their birth name upon claiming the the throne, and is forever renamed "Salra Jul Adrasa" which translates as "Protector of Adrasa" The present Queen has ruled Adrasa for the last four hundred years and has played a vital role in reforming her planets naval and merchant marine sectors, vast amounts of time and resources had been pumped into researching more stable ways of reaching FTL travel and strengthening planetary defenses against outside threats. Survival is the main objective of the Adrasans and the Star Kingdom has erred towards Isolationism, as distrust of other races had been bred into them after the wreckage that the Aetherius Empire left behind.
Home-world: Adrasa, in the star system Sessarda. Adrasa shares the system with five other planets;
Thool - Gas Giant - Two moons; Chaal and Estret house missile defense platforms
Makass - Destroyed with all souls during the Great Collapse
Clatsine -Destroyed with all souls during the Great Collapse
Ubdool- Destroyed with all souls during the Great Collapse
Fathra - Mining station and marine garrison.
Defense platforms are scattered in strategic positions about the system and a space station is in orbit of the mother planet.
Economy Description: Adrasan society and psychology functions in such a way that a monetary system never occurred to them. Adrasans function as a collective and everything they do, they do to better their race as a whole. The asteroid belt in the Sessarda offers a near limitless source of metals and Adrasans had become rabidly self dependent over the last few thousand years.
Technology: Adrasa has recently devolved a new generation of FTL propulsion drives, these Gravitomagnetic drives no longer require ships to make the risky journey through hyper space. The new drive also frees up hull space which has massive implications for military vessels.
Misc Nation Details: Adrasan life expectancy is in excess of eight hundred (Earth) years but a law was passed over a thousand years ago that death would be mandatory after five hundred. Enforcing this law and ensuring that the Population was kept at below ten billion was absolutely essential after the loss of three of their sister planets.
Military Description: Adrasa has a standing permanent army of around five million troops and that force is purely defensive. All Adrasan subjects are required to serve a minimum of five years in military service. The Navy is somewhat smaller but is rapidly increasing as ship building becomes more efficient.
Navy Description: The ships of the Royal Adrasan Navy Use a Garvitomagnetic Drive or GMD as their form of FTL propulsion. The GMD creates a massive electro-magnetic field outside of the ship, this magnetic field is used to manipulate gravity into a "bubble" around the ship. The drive tremendously increases the gravity directly in front of the ship creating the kind of pull you'd expect to feel if your were sucked into a black hole. The gravity bubble protects the ship and its crew from the inertia caused by such acceleration, and from nasty little things like micro-comets.
Ship Prefix: HMS
Ship Descriptions: Apart from the carriers, the fighting ships are sleek, predatory things.
Caul Class Destroyers mass in at around 80,000 tons. Armament consists of eight long range missile launchers, twelve countermissle launchers and two multi-directional, short ranged rail cannons. The ships are powered by two fusion reactors.
Slew Class Corvetts mass in at around 15,000 tons. Armament consists of two short ranged rail-cannons, three medium ranged missile launchers and laser point defense.
Vill Class Fighters (Light Attack Craft) are generally expendable, low crewed and inexpensive birds. The small size of the adrasan navy highlighted the importance of these craft in the deterrence of raiders and pirates, so considerable thought went into upgrading them over the last century or so. even with upgraded stealth and weapons systems they were still little more than eggshells armed with hammers, but when fifty were stowed in the hull of a
Skell Class Carrier and covered with Corvette support, a whole new dimension of tactical flexibility opened up.
Ship Numbers: 3 Corvettes, 2 destroyers and 1 Carrier
