I will be using the TR (Terran Republic) and if you don't like then move along. " Victory is our tradition. "
Prologue
After fighting for 10,269 years the Great Auraxian war is over when the TR creates AIs to help them, they are given equal rights and use nanites to create synthetic bodies. The Vanu Sovereignty and New Conglomerate are brought back into the Republic, changes have been made within the Terran Republic to keep another rebellion from happening again (the NC and VS where a part of the TR, but separated classifying them as rebels and the conflict as a rebellion) one of those changes was to be less strict with companies, but still strict enough to avoid the problems caused by large corporations in 21st century America and to study alien technology with robotic bodies(like how NS operatives work) or AIs to prevent another cult from forming because of alien technology influencing scientists studying them in person. The Republic has started a research expedition to find out what happened to the original inhabitants of Auraxis, the Vanu, and after a few weeks find out that they were in similar situation, though for much longer, were the beginning of a war was all they ever saw and the end of a war never insight or thought possible, and decided to end themselves once and for all by "deleting" themselves. The use of mining is obsolete and factories only have to "print" products because of nanites being able to create anything from nothing. Military designs stay the same because armor can just be made stronger while shields just need more powerful energy sources (i'm going to use UNSC halo ships because that's what I think the design the TR would use and I'm lazy). The TR soon begins to expand at a rapid pace to have enough living space, but slow enough to have defenses at the ready such 30 Orbital Platforms per colonized planet in system with more added as time goes on and a defense fleet of at least 200 automated ships plus a shipyard (29 kilometers long with 5 bays and each bay being able to make 4-130 (Infinity-class supercarrier to prowler-class corvette) ships simulataneously, can create corvette sized vessels in 15 seconds and super carrier sized vessels in 30 seconds, before moving on to the next system to colonize. (The reason for them doing this is because, if at least one species or civilization is more advanced than us then how many more species or civilizations are more advanced than us? And nanites can build a tank in what a second) The Republic did this for 10 years and having 131 systems colonized before finding a very old object that looked like an old tuning fork at the edge of a system with the new colony world of New Mars for its strong resemblance of Mars before being terraformed. The TR dispatch a group of 12 ships, 3 science vessels, 7 Paris-class figates , and two Autaum-class cruisers.
"Alright what can you tell me about this object?" Captain Cutter asked to no one in particular, he is aboard a Paris-class frigate.
"The object is 15 kilometers in length and appears to run on an element with an atomic mass of zero, simulations show that technology based on this element is very easy to understand, but at the same time stagnates after a while which makes this object an impressive fear of engineering." Serina the shipboard AI answered.
"Only 15 kilometers? That's smaller than a shipyard." A young ensign commented.
"Can you access its systems?" Captain Cutter said giving another question.
"Yes, its cyber defenses are quite weak, this is a form of transportation like a warp gate, but somewhat more primitive." Serina responded.
" How so? "
"Well, for starters these 'mass relays ', as they're called, can only work in pairs while a warp gate just has to be linked to other warpgates, and they require you to go through a network to, like going from point A to B to point C, all other points, to point Z, while warpgates are direct and go from point A to point Z." Serina answered.
"What else can we use this element zero for?"
"Nothing much really, FTL using it will be laughably slow, only 13-15 light years a day, using it to propel ships will limit the size of the ship and by extension the weapons on the ship, the only real applications for it would be in weapon systems, it can propel a sand grain sized projectile much faster than all of our weapons, but at the same time, if the projectile hits an unarmored target it would pass through not doing much damage, while a bigger round would go slower, but be able to cause much greater damage." A/ N (5.56 vs 7.62, I got real life data to base this off)
As Serina was about to continue another crewmember noticed that the relay seemed to be lowering on.
"Captain, I think it's being activated."
Cutter looked at what they were talking about , but before anyone could react a large number of ships started to come out, and as more were still coming through the small flotilla started to move away from the relay, sent a call for reinforcements, and got weapons at the ready, just case they needed to fight.
