[edit] General Information
Dedicated Consortium Military Units are often have names related to the Occult (Voice of the Night), Death or Undead (Phantom) or Negative Feelings (Despair). Consortium Does not have its own mythology, however the do study other cultures and named their military units in mockery of believes of other cultures.
Other Consortium’s Units are named after scientific theory or instrument, or simply what they do. Every Consortium Member is capable of waging war on some extend, and most of them are not interested in intimidating anything.
The Consortium’s military philosophy revolves around overwhelming offensive power – there is no need for defense if there is nothing left to strike back; as a result they have a curious lack of defenders. Since the consortium is native to the Heimian space, all their units can liberally move between spaces, giving them above average maneuverability. Finally, The Consortium’s entire civilization is found on control of information and disinformation; their information warfare specialists are very good.
Consortium systems often have another, for example one of their command modules also work as an engineering system.
[edit] Starbases
Consortium’s star bases serves as gathering spots and waypoints of Tor’Val Hiveminds. Although they were seldom directly confronted by other cultures, being as massive as they are and still capable of space shift speak something of their might.
“Temple” Analyst caste Scientific Observation Post
“Twilight” Protector caste Logistic Base
“Eternity” Field Command Post
[edit] Nexus
These are Vessels that houses communication equipments that allow large number processes distributed over vast distances to integrate into a hive mind. Interestingly, The Consortium units aren’t commanded in the strict sense, rather the interaction between the various vessels give it a resemblance of intelligence.
“Voice of the Night” Tactical Coordination Nodule
“Evidence” Data Integration Ganglia
“Pillar” Strategic Optimization Hub
[edit] Assemblies
Assemblies are vessels that are similar in size to Nexuses, and houses significant amount of processing power and subsequently, processes. But they do not have the dedicated communication equipment and hardware optimization to perform data synchronization. They are almost as powerful as flagships then other civilizations, but they always require more then one command modules.
“Oblivion Call” Offensive Platform
“Panic” Electronic Blackout Suite
“Navigator” Stellar Freight
“Projector” Investigatory and Espionage System
“Turbulence” Sensor Array
"Radiator" Energy Emission Systems
[edit] Fragments
Fragments are specialist “Drones” launched by Assemblies and Nexus to perform a specific task that usually require discretion and/or agility. They are not “Drones” in the conventional sense because they could be the majority contributor of processing power and sensor input to the hive mind they are apart of. Fragments have the power of heavy strike craft or other races, but they are usually specialists, and fill a role similar to UEC frigates.
“Phantom” Space Superiority Fighter
“Despair” Mobile Mine
