Technology Of Saga Of The Seven Suns





EARTH DEFENCE FORCE/HANSA


Artificial Intelligence


Compies

Compies, or "Competent Computerized Companions" come in a variety of makes and models (Teacher, Friendly, Governess etc.), and are referred to by the first two letters of their serial numbers. such as DD , EA, UR, OX etc.


Soldier Compies

Using Klikiss robot technology, gained when William Andeker was given permission by the robots to study them, and the robot ''Jorax'' sacrificed himself for this cause, the soldier compies were then designed using this new knowledge. They contained core Klikiss robot programming which ''Sirix'' and the other robots were later able to activate, effectively taking control of the Soldier Compies so as to be used for their own means and agendas.


Ship Based Weapons


Jazer

This is a powerfull Laser type energy weapon, "Jacketed" in a Magnetic Field sheath. It fires bolts of high-energy particles. Can cause significant damage to other vessels or to the ground from orbit.


Railgun

This is an extremely powerful electromagnetic field based weapon. It fires solid kinetic projectiles made of superdense depleted uranium. Can Cause damage of a small nuclear warhead.


Fracture Pulse Drone


Carbon-Carbon Smashers

Designed specifically for the war against the hydrogues. they were designed to break the complex Carbon-carbon Bond s of the diamond hulled hydrogue warglobes.


Personal Weapons


Personal Jazer

A Smaller version of the Jazer with a less significant energy output, it is sill however very effective weapon that must be mounted on the shoulder.


Twitcher

A Twitcher is a small hand held non-fatal, but effective weapon. It causes spasming (hence the name) and loss of muscle control making a person limp and therefore no longer a threat.


Cutter

A small hand held laser


ILDIRAN


Ship Based Weapons


Kinetic Missile Launchers

Used by Ildiran Empire.


High Energy Cutting Beams

Used by Ildiran Empire.


Planet-Splitters

Used by Ildiran Empire.


Personal Weapons


Katana

Ildiran's are known for there strength and hand to hand combat skills. The Katana is the most traditional weapons of the Ildirans.


Transportation


Stardrive

The Stardrive is an Ildiran technology, given to Mankind on discovery of the Generation Ship the Caillie in 2244. They promptly visit Earth and search for the remaining 10 Generation Ship s. It works on the principal of high speed Faster Than Light Travel however the star drive propels a ship at only a small fraction greater of that speed. The drive uses Ekti (a fictional allotrope of Hydrogen) as a fuel and creates a barrier around the ship, a time distortion is created within this barrier. The time within the ship is much slower than the time outside the barrier in normal space. This allows for a shorter awareness of the journey. During its creation the time barrier was found by accident, the scientist first discovered the time distortion in initial tests without having intended for it to happen.


KLIKISS


Artificial Intelligence


Klikiss Robots

Klikiss robots were built and designed by the original Klikiss before their disappearance ten thousand years ago, that were reactivated in approximately the 1940's C.E. by the Ildirans. The robots themselves are very intricate in terms of design, with largely unknown inner workings. Though they all look identical, they each consider themselves unique in some respect, as they assign names to each member of their race. They have blunt speech mannerisms, and often do not reveal too much about themselves or their motives.

Although they do not expose them very often, the Klikiss robots are equipped with a variety of built-in weapons systems and advanced wings that allow them to fly. It is worth noting that their infrastructures are practically indestructible, with nothing seemingly able to deal them damage; three robots were hit by a monsoon and came back with only superficial damage, and later a large number of them could exist at the core of a gas giant with no trouble whatsoever. However Ildiran, Human and Klikiss weaponry has proved somewhat effective in destryong or at least damaging the robots, and the Klikiss, with knowledge of the robots construction are able to dismantle the robots with relative ease on the battlefield. (The robots can be seen on the UK edition cover of .)


Ship Based Weapons

Unnamed weapons have been noted in the series. Laser type weapons and projectile weapons are mentioned, also a strong and powerfull energy beam has been mentioned to be created when Swarm Ships gather together in a cylindrical shape and charge then diperce energy of high volumes able to destroy an entire EDF Manta in one shot.


Personal Weapons


Bell Mouth

This appears to be some sort of large hand held energy weapon that fires a bolt of what is described as 'plasma'.


Web Gun

This appears to be a small tubular weapon that fires a liquid resin that solidifies into a restraining web.


Transportation


TransPortals

These Large Trapezoidal artifacts, discovered on Llaro were originally built thousands of years ago by the Klikiss , and through unknown Physics are able to transport matter instantaneously to one of an unknown number of TansPortals throughout the Spiral Arm, and perhaps the entire Milky Way. In 2427, Louis Colicos was able to activate the Transportal on Rheindic Co .


HYDROGUES


Weapons

On the exterior of the Hydrogue War Globe are triangular pyramids that fire an electrically based "lightning" weapon, and also a cold based weapon capable of freezing large areas.


Transportation


TransGates

TransGates are large versions of Transportals, built in the centre of gas giants by the Hydrogues as a way to transport between their home worlds without revealing their existence.


WENTALS


Weapons

Wentals use them selfs as weapons.


FAEROS


Weapons

Not much is Known.


VERDANI


Weapons

The Verdani ave been described as using tree pods, which are capable of cutting through the thick diamond hulled ships of the Hydrogues.
