Galactic News Network (GNN):
The GNN will report on the events of the galaxy, and the effects of these events on the economies, militaries, and civilians of the various governments. We can also report on battles or natural disasters, or human interest stories, who knows... The GNN is an impartial organization, a news network that doesn't answer to any government, though it's headquarters are within Galactica space. It has no military presence, it is simply a news organization.

Hmmm.. now where have I heard that before.... Sure, you can use my idea without asking....
Dont worry, I'm kidding, it didn't do too well when I tried it, good luck.
I cleared this up with Esponer, so this is how I'm going to join. When the Miranu made the wormhole that the L'ase came through, Neither had any idea that a small Qan merc fleet, headed by REDchigh, followed them through the wormhole....
The L'ase are fast, with low firepower, the Qan are basically the opposite.
My fleet made it through the wormhole, but the energy field from my fleet's Radiation Cloak is what closed the wormhole for good. Here are the basic advantages for the Qan:
Advanced hyperspace modules : Allow my fleet to enter hyperspace instantly, outfitted on all Qan ships.
Advanced methods of Energy Usage : Fleet's run off of a radioactive core, which powers the engines, weopons, everything. They are very well protected, so dont even think about it.
Radiation Cloak : not really a cloak at all, places a field of Energy around the ship, and protects the ship against all energy weopons, and all but the most powerful brute force attacks. standard on all ships, weopons have to be powered down, and ship has to drop cloak before entering hyperspace. Also no transmissions can go through the field.
WEAPONRY
Photon turrets and cannons (primary): _Cannons fire to 90 degree arch ot the front. turrets, oh come on, you know what turrets are! High accuracy, high firing rate, Decent range, very powerful (for a primary), a few turrets can take out a fighter patrol fleet in short order.
_
Qan Energy Mines (secondary): only on Destroyers and warships. Similar to Miranu defense system, longer life, blast wont hurt Qan ships.Fairly powerful, one mine will take out every fighter except the hellcat, takes the hellcat down to its armor. can be controled, launched one by one or in salvos. No guidence, other than a primitive magnetic pull.
Radium Rocket (Secondary): On all ships, more important when launched from Fighters, but Destroyers and Warships have them too.
Energy Ram (special): Strong turreted beam, what else is there to say? Bright white beam of pure energy, Extremely strong. Impact can knock a fighter across the galaxy, three can knock a station out of orbit. Only on Cruisers.
SHIPS:
Pegasus Class Light Fighter: Excellent Maneuverability and decent firepower allows this fighter to win one on one with any other fighter.
3 Photon cannons
1 Radium Rocket launcher
Corsair Fighter-bomber: Heavy fighter, slower than the Pegasus, but more power, more shileds, can take on about 3 fighters, depending on the first shot.
4 Photon cannons
2 Radium Launchers
Hera Class Destroyer: Excellent shields, good maneuverability, faster than other race's ships of its size, except for the L'ase. Can take on three UE Drakes, and have its shields at 15%.
6 Photon turrets
3 mine layers
3 Radium launchers
Pegasus bay, four fighters
Zeus Class Warship: The strongest ship in RED's fleet, not the most powerful Qan ship, but close. The Zeus can take out 2 UE dragons with ease.
14 Photon turrets
5 mine launchers
1 Energy Ram
Corsair Bay, 2 fighters.
Since only a small merc fleet is all that went through the Wormhole, my #'s are:
10/2/4/1. My personal ship is a Zeus Warship, and is the only one in my fleet.
Even tho my fleet is Qan, they are merc, and after they realize they aren't going to be payed, they may decide not to hunt down the L'ase.
