About

The Araxes Federation is a small government located on the fringes of known space. They have colonised a small asteroid belt and currently carry out mining operations and construction enterprises. The Federation comprises of two main bodies.

Tethran Collective Military

The Tethran Collective Military is the Araxes Federation's paramilitary organisation. They field small groups of heavily-armed and armoured ships in forces known as "Spadas". The TCM's main goal is protection of the Federation's assets, as well as peacekeeping duties.

Aquila Defense Systems

The Aquila Defense Systems are a conglomeration of small companies under the Federation. Their main roles comprise construction, trade, mining and engineering. ADS produce ships and weaponry for use by the TCM and do not field combat ships.

Current Military Arsenal

Strikecraft

SF-731 "Vampire"

SF-731 "Vampire"

The Vampire is a fast and light interceptor designed for short range interdiction missions. It carries a very small amount of fuel and is lightly armoured.

B-57 "Crusher"

The B-57 is the heaviest strikecraft currently fielded by the TCM. It is almost useless when dogfighting as it holds only a single gun.
