Magellan - Lunar main tank

 

The Magellan is the standard tank of the Lunar League. Manufactured by General-Hatamotors (Pun absolutely intended), it is a relatively heavy vehicle for its class (Standard Tank Class), but carries armour and weapons superior to any Terran tank.


Although it is equipped with highly sophisticated armament and equipment (only Galileo's tanks can compete), it requires a crew of only three men, thanks to the artificial intelligence interface that allows personnel training to be kept to a minimum.


Weighing 65 tonnes and 10 metres long, it is armed with a 155 millilitre railgun.

However, the real innovation of the Magellan is the integration of an energy shield into the traditional nano-ceramic armour.


The real limitation of the Magellan is its extremely high cost, which forces the Lunar League to rely on lighter tanks and more evasive tactics in very large battles requiring numerous vehicles.

Io Cossacks

  Io is the primary source of energy on Io, Galileo's moon. The powerful gravitational forces it experiences result in virtually infinite geothermal energy to be collected from its volcanoes. The access to such energy and heat also makes Io the primary industrial hub of the Jovian system. It is here that metals are fused for the construction of fleets or the expansion of habitats. The inhabitants of the moon are divided into two specific categories: the inhabitants of cities and industrial facilities, and the nomads. Originally, these two populations were also ethnically distinct, but they are no longer so. However, to identify them, the government of Galileo refers to the settled people as "Tajiks" and the nomads as "Tuareg," although there is no evidence that this ethnic classification is accurate. While the Tajiks are recruited into Galileo's armies according to regular army standards, the Tuaregs provide a contingent of their own called the "Cossack...

Princess Maia: Maia is the second born of Emperor Isaac, she is 30 years old. She was conceived with assistite procreation to ensure a second heir for the Empire. She is the Duchesse of Io, the most active moon around Jupiter and the source of the energy of the Empire extracted by geothermal activity of Io. She is very active and social woman, having different lovers (some male and some female as well) and she is a little scandalous for the conformist Galilean society. However she is a woman of the people and she is very loved by her subjects on Io, because she not only makes a lot of appearances on working places, but she leads a lot of foundations for the well beings of her people. She commands the Imperial Guard and his own regiment of Io's Hussars both with the grade of Colonel.

Pallas Marines

  The soldiers of Pallas fought much more in the space than on surfaces and their marines are known to have aided the lowenwolf mercenaries in many operations. Moreover, if Pallas in not in open war, they travel on ships and cargoes to ensure security and defense against pirates and rogue clans. The armor, called star-metal suit, is a titanium-ceramic armor is insulated by vacuum of space and integrated with many aids for the soldier, as guided aim, thermoscanner and radar. The marines are not a separate corp from the army, but soldiers of Royal State Army equipped with star-metal suits. The last major battle is been at Shteins during the Valhalla War and their last engagement is been at Eros against the Void Octopus pirates fleet
