shinji ikari didn't know what to expect when he had somehow managed to start an impact event AGAIN, but by sheer willpower, he forced the power release to flow inward, into the gate-of-guf itself not that he knew it, stopping fourth impact, but havi...
"now our military works a bit differently then some others, we have poured all of our resources into our dragoons and our navy, as such the dragons have the best tech possible as the main fighting force, and every single person not a dragon or rider is trained to operate starships, hell sometimes the rider is taught how to operate a vessel you likely will" she said
"we will start with the prowlers, we have no fighter-craft as us dragons are the fighter-craft, so our prowlers are small twenty-five man crewed ships, and are the smallest vessels in our fleet" she moved to a nearby monitor
"this is the current prowler in service it is a gladius-class prowler, put in service ruffly six years ago, so it's practically brand-new, it's armaments include six pulse-beam point defense gun batteries, two fixed beam fusion cannons, code named tyrfings, and two torpedo tubes, one for one aft, they fire dainsleif-class torpedos" she said, as she lifted off the ships capabilities

"from there we have the larger stalwart-class corvette, a bit older then the gladius-class, at ten years old now, but still as it's name implies it is reliable, with a forty-man crew, she's armed with eight pulse beam point defense gun batteries, two fixed beam fusion cannons, and a single twin barreled beam fusion cannon turret strapped to the underside of the ships bow, two for torpedo tubes, again one aft, capable of firing dainsleif-class torpedos" she said

"now we get to what people say is us over compensating a bit" she said as she put yet another picture on the screen
"this is the dominus-class heavy frigate, a three hundred man crew, armed with a fixed mega fusion particle lancet cannon, codenamed laevateinn, two tri-barreled particle accelerator cannon turrets codenamed mjolnir, six twin barreled beam fusion cannon turrets, and eighteen pulse beam guns, which i will henceforth be simply referring to as PBGs, and four forward torpedo tubes, with one aft, the dominus-class also comes equipped with a stalwart-class heavy corvette, and two gladius-class prowlers, note the crew compliment does not include the crew of the corvette and prowlers they usually are added on to the standard compliment" she said, my eyes widened

"wait, wait, wait, you said this was a frigate, frigates aren't supposed to carry multi-crewed ships" i said
"that is how WE classify our frigates" she said, she chose then to continue
"moving on we have the hunter-class cruiser, a five hundred thirty crew compliment, two fixed mega fusion particle lancet cannons, and from now on i will be referring the main weapons by their codenames for simplicities sake, four mjolnir guns, twelve tyrfing guns, twenty-four PBGs, and six forward torpedo tubes, with two aft, the hunter-class, can carry three stalwart class heavy-corvettes and six gladius-class prowlers" she said, i shook my head these people were seriously overcompensating

"from there we have the vigilant-class battlecruiser, with a six-hundred and seventy-five crew, two single barreled laevateinns, eight mjolnir guns, fourteen tyrfing-guns, thirty-six PBGs, with five stalwart-class corvettes, and fifteen gladius-class prowlers, aboard

"finally we have the vessel which really is overcompensating, the sentinal-class command battleship, the only class of ship to be equipped with the hyper buster particle cannon, codenamed gungnir, the strongest weapon our fleet has ever produced, four single barreled laevateinns, ten mjolnir guns, twenty tyrfing guns, fifty PBGs, two dominus-class heavy frigates, and their entire compliment, plus another four stalwart-class corvettes, and six gladius-class prowlers" she said revealing the ship

"that thing must be bloody huge" i said
"it is, most officers goal is to command one, mine is to find a rider who would command one, i'm not really a leader type i can do it, but i prefer to follow" she said, i nodded my understanding
"anyway now that we are done with the military stuff, that you need to know, the rest you'll pick up during your tenure, we get to talk about politics, the nation is broken up into a pseudo caste-system" she said
"pseudo" i asked
"all nobles, have served in the military and any born into a noble family must either serve themselves for a period of five years, or cast away their title and prestige, noble titles are awarded to officers who did something exceptional, and the standard rewards just wouldn't cut it, for instance your entrance into the battle of cellan city, we were losing and would have likely lost without you, so thank you for that, losing that city would have meant we would have likely lost the whole planet, as it is a major industrial settlement of the world, equivalent to the worlds capital" she said
"uh, your welcome i guess, i just saw i could help, and i also saw that i couldn't do any worse damage then what the enemy was" i said, scratching the back of my head embarrassed
"still, you looked really tired and had to sit on that roof for a solid hour before you caught your breath, i put that in my report, you put yourself in severe danger, and it was noticed" she said i smiled
