*(27) '''Kirchner Class Patrol Fighters''', the result of contradictory design demands, this class of fighter is not well liked.  They were supposed to have a small craft stateroom to facilitate longer patrol durations with better life support capabilities.  A fleet admiral decided that they needed a mixed triple turret and that a pulse laser was essential, as a result the power plant grew and soon there was barely room for a pair of couches, let alone a small stateroom.  Acceleration is poor for a fighter at 3G's and evasion agility, a needed defense for craft this size, is non-existent.  A single sand caster is hardly adequate defense, so dog fighting is avoided at all costs.

Latest revision as of 15:34, 11 August 2025

The Council of the Wise is an interstellar, multi-system government located in the Hadji Sector.

  • It is a collection of thirteen planets under the central rule of a hegemon and protected by a modest fleet.

Goals[edit]

Their goals are to maintain their collection of worlds and remain free from Solomani, Hiver, or Aslan influence.

History & Background[edit]

These worlds were colonized originally by far wandering elements, dissatisfied with life under Solomani rule.

Government & Politics[edit]

The Council of the Wise is an interstellar, multi-system government, characterized by a very high degree of centralization, strong policies that direct the entire sectors or states, and a strong disregard for local/planetary differences. The Council of the Wise is usually characterized as a Hegemony.

Technology & Trade[edit]

Their highest technology level available is TL–12.

Military & Intelligence[edit]

They have two ScoutRons based at Raspyn (Hadji 2526 C00078B-A) and Penner (Hadji 2727 B335587-B).

They have three "battle fleets", one stationed at each of the three Naval Bases within their territory. These squadrons are nearly uniform in composition, yet field an odd assortment of craft contributed from local shipyards at a variety of technology levels. Each planet capable of building ships or military craft of any type are commissioned and awarded defense contracts to build the best designs they can manage with their local resources and industrial-military abilities. This makes the force challenging to employ but fosters espirt de corps. The vast shipyards at Infelice (Hadji 2626 A8689DF-B) are responsible for almost all merchant marine tonnage in the cluster. The scouts, transports, tankers and couriers of the ScoutRons are all built here. Logistical support assets are attached to each battle fleet as needed, based on current operational schedules and training requirements.
