    • Description: An inherited possesion after the isolation of the the Military Republic of Jace, the Nuclear Particle Cannon sattelites channel a nuclear explosion into a coherent beam through intense manipulation of the magnetic fields of plutonium. The magnetic encapsulation of the beam also fries even the most intensive of electromagnetically protect electronics. These sattelites are unfortunately incredibly difficult to maintain under repeated use and prohibitively expensive if used in a regular military conflict, but they are valuable because the magnetic field encapsulation prevents much of the typical radiation that results in most deaths from nuclear weapons.

Brief History

The Allied States Orbital Command was formed to oversee the Allied States expansion into space. There first program was the Apollo Starbase, built jointly with the Military Republic of Jace. Currently the headquarters of the ASOC Navy, it houses over one thousand administrative personel, as well as the EASOP training facilities and their base of operations. The Starbase complex also houses the Allied States shipyards, where the new Allied States fleet is under construction. The plans of expansion include a carrier, several dreadnought or battle ship designs, two or three dozen cruiser type ships, fifty frigates and enough fighters to stock all ships. A space exploration fleet is also planned, and construction should begin in the next several weeks.
