Floor 1: Sidearms, Missiles, Nationalist Vasudans
An update on my progress thus far:
Progress:
Mission 1: Done
Mission 2: Done
Mission 3: Done
Mission 4: Done
Mission 5: Done
Mission 6: Polishing
Mission 7: In Progress
Mission 8: In Progress
Mission 9: Not Done
Mission 10: Not Done
Mission 5 is, in essence, done, and Mission 6 is being touched up. I've begun focusing my efforts on Mission 7, which I can assure you will house many explosions. With each update I will be sharing with you some of the tools of the trade in "Final Generation" as well as background lore on various characters and factions. Today's update is brought to you by Triton Dynamics, when six forward cannons aren't enough, slap on two more.
Tool Highlight: UD-5 Tyr
The UD-5 Tyr is your bread and butter. It's not very unique, design wise, in essence it's a Kayser that I threw cycle onto and made it slightly weaker in terms of DPS. I envisioned the GTVA taking the whole "zero point death machine" a step further and making it a main gun for their fighters and bombers to use. Much like the Balor from Blue Planet, it's very good at shooting down bombs and filling unsuspecting AI victims full of holes.
It'll be one of the first weapons the player uses in the campaign, and it can be used on every Terran and Vasudan fighter and bomber you can think of.
Lore Highlight: New Dynasty
Now for something slightly more antagonizing; The New Dynasty. They're one of the antagonists you battle with in the campaign (the other being the Terran Liberation Front but them at another time). Founded by two disgruntled Vasudan nomarchs who have way too much time on their hands and far too much military power; Reshef the IV of Deneb and Niut of Alpha Centauri, these quasi-royals decided enough was enough and declared their systems independent from the greater Vasudan Imperium. With aid from radical elements of the Vasudan military, who view that cooperation with the Terrans will only further Vasudan suffering, they expelled loyal members of the Vasudan Imperium and rounded up Terran civilians in their systems, throwing them into isolated off world facilities.
The New Dynasty rejects Emperor Khonsu the II's leadership, believing that the Vasudan's covenant with the Terrans has corrupted Khonsu the II. In the nearly two years of civil war the New Dynasty had managed to wrestle control over Vasuda from the Imperium and occupy Sirius. Giving the New Dynasty a firm, entrenched position.

I firmly believe that Media VP 4 broke my mod. Have 100 Trebuchets.
