So I did this thing in the Inaius discord in the past, and later in our specific channels, where I would ping all the Inaius RPers with a worldbuilding question or worldbuilding prompt. Now that was all well and good but I never managed to keep it going very long, I would forget about it or postpone it and it ended up being forgotten about on multiple occasions. I figure why not make a thread in the style of Syr's Worldbuilding Game to store all of these questions/prompts and allow people to respond whenever, without worrying about pinging everyone weekly for a new question? I'll post in here occasionally and ping Inaius RPers on the TNPRP Discord when a new one is posted. You do NOT have to answer the questions if you do not want to, and you can answer them whenever you want to. There is no time limit. Here's the first couple questions:
Does your space nation have a standard fighter spacecraft for use in either orbital or deep space environments? If so, what is it, what does it look like, how does it function, what weapons does it carry, etc.?
Alternative Question: What is the architecture of your space nation like? Does it have any remarkable style to it? Any preferred color schemes? So on and so forth.
I'll start it off. The Yviiri Combine employ a multitude of space fighter craft, and of the most (in)famous of these are the crafts from the exss0035-941 series (Exoatmospheric Superiority Spacefighter Unit 003 5th Series, 2941*). The 0035-941 series, specifically it's most recent iteration, the exss0075-951, has been used by the Yviiri Combine in every single one of their recent conflicts. It's sleek, glossy white hull and blue ion engines have become imprinted into the minds of the enemies of the Yviiri. It is an incredibly sleek and agile craft, even in atmospheric conditions when it deploys it's wings and control surfaces, and is very capable of extremely tight cornering and difficult maneuvers. The tradeoff for this is generally that it's rather lightly armored. It's small size and silhouette make it harder to hit with unguided projectiles and it's maneuverability can even throw off guided munitions, though it is equipped with multiple countermeasures despite this. It has a few hardpoints and modular weaponry but is most often seen equipped with nose-mounted ionic** repeaters/cannons or gauss autocannons. These are usually accompanied with IAVO's***, or occasionally ionic torpedoes. Some variants may even have 2 coilguns mounted to the nose, which will most often be equipped with APIN rounds****. The series has been equipped with a weak energy shield since it's adoption in 2941. They may be carried on carriers, stations, or planet-side within hangars. They do not require a runway to take off, however.
Some variants have been modified for specific purposes; the entirely atmospheric variant (enav0045-952z0035 is the current standard for this variant) being the most prominent of these and often being employed in close proximity to ground troops as light close air support and an interceptor. There has even been a civilian variant developed, known as the cv0011-945 (and it's later variants), though this civilian series isn't equipped with an impulse drive^ like the military versions often are, nor are they equipped with any weapons obviously. They have seen popularity amongst racers due to their speed and agility. The military variants (or their parts), generally captured during a conflict or stolen by Yviiri deserters, are a prized possession on black markets; though like most Yviiri tech tampering with them is ill-advised if you don't know what you're doing or have someone who does know what they're doing.
*2941 is, of course, in Earth years. In actuality the year included in their names would be using Yviiri years. This is something that's quite hard to calculate for me because I am bad at math. This goes for all other Earth years included. This may be revised should I figure out the current Yviiri year.
**Ionic weapons are a Yviiri weapon, and they are sort of in between lasers and plasma, leaning towards plasma. Often a blue-green projectile.
***IAVO's refers to Ionic Anti-Vehicle Ordnance. This most often specifically refers to ionic munitions that track the target, stick to them, and then explode, colloquially referred to as ionic slugs or ionic missiles. An ionic torpedo, though similar, is on a much larger scale and is specifically anti-spacecraft. Ionic torpedoes are meant for usage at a longer range then other IAVOs and typically have a much larger payload.
****Armor-Piercing Ionic rounds are a gauss projectile with an ionic payload. They fire at high velocities, penetrate through the armor, and then detonate their ionic payloads in a delayed manner causing heavy damage to whatever they've been fired at in most cases.
^An impulse drive is a small-scale slipspace drive for usage on spacefighter crafts and other smaller vessels. They are generally used for short distance FTL and in-atmosphere jumps.
All designations are in English for the sake of readability.
