The Basics of Space Warfare

Space Warfare: The New Era


Here is an early version of a Bear Capital ship, quickly sketched by Von Kriplepsac. The numbers there represent parts of the ship.

1- "The Flak 88 Line"
This was a place on the ship where Flak 88's were set up (Usually 10) and were aimed at enemy ships. They were very useful in taking down the enemy's shields.

2-"Surface Bombardment"
These guns bomb the surface of any planet that the ship is flown over.

3- "100 mm guns"
These guns are the main guns firing in a Space battle. 4 shots will take out a whole ship. But, it takes hours to reload and about 10 minutes to aim precisely. They both can rotate 180 degrees.

4- This is the tail of the ship. It aids the ship in speed. If lost, the ship's speed would decreased, deeply.

5- "Hangar"
This is where fighters take off to engage other enemy fighters. These hangars have a force field around them so that oxygen would be sustained in.

6- "Forward Gun"
This is a 20 mm gun that is used for forward combat. Over a 1,000,000,000 shells of 20 mm rounds are shot out in 5 minutes. Sometimes used on enemy fighters.

(Yes, that's a seven.)7- These are the engines that power the whole ship. If these are loss, the capital ship would come to a complete stop, and would start to sink into space very slowly.

T-M.S-S 34 (Tediz Medium Space-Ship 34) "Cruiser"
The T-M 34 is a medium-sized spacecraft that was made for almost all purposes.
1. Pilot's Port
This is where the pilot of the Cruiser would sit. He would use the bubble dome to see where he was going.
2. Radio Deck
A simple bulge in the ship that hides the radio, used for extremely long distance communication.
3. (Inside) Director of Communications Port
This is where the DOC would sit and use the radio.
4. Chin Gun (High Velocity .50 mm Dual Machine Guns)
A gunner would position himself here and take out direct attacks.
5. Bomb Sight
The Tedi who was doing the bombing would sit here and use a crosshaired sight to pinpoint where bombs should land, then press the buttons to drop each bomb in each bay.
6. Long Distance Radar
A Radar that detects potential targets/attackers.
7. Ball Turret (High Velocity .50 mm Dual Machine Guns)
A gunner would sit here and take out any spacecraft below the T-M 34. It could rotate at a 360 degree angle.
8. Bomb Bays
The bombs come out here.
9. Side Propellers/Engines
These allow the ship to strafe to the left or right.
10. Altitude Propellers/Engines
These allow the ship to move straight up or down.
11. Tail
This leads to the last three parts of the ship. In addition, it shoots a blast for added speed.
12. Bankers
These steer the ship.
13. Tail Gun (High Velocity .50 mm Quad Machine Guns)
A gunner manning this would be able to take out attackers easily.

P-F 50 (Panther Fighter 50)
A small spacecraft only slightly higher than an actual Panther, it was expertly crafted by the Panthers, and made specifically for their forces. Tediz nicknamed them "Silent Flies," because of the quiet droning noise the engines made.
Note: There is a simple typo on the picture. There are two threes. The one on the bottom left should be a four.
1. Cøckpit
This is where the Panther sat. The window was so large, you could see the Panther's knees and legs.
2. Dual High Velocity Armor-Piercing .65 mm Rotary Machine Guns
These could be easily controlled by the pilot to point in almost any direction. When used correctly, these could take out any target within 10,000 meters.
3. Rockets
Comes in two variations: Standard and Homing. The P-F 50 can hold up to 30 rockets (15 on each side).
4. Engines
Large, high powered engines allowed excellent control and speed.
