Orbital Defenses of Pikasis
As a galactic pariah, Pikasis as always been faced with the threat of complete annihilation, be it from galactic crisis, forgotten empires or concerted galactic action. Because of this very menace looming over the Magnam Imperii, the development of extensive networks of orbital defenses was soon seen as equally important to the expansion of naval capacities. However, as formidable as they can be, even the largest networks of Pikasistani defenses are nothing compared to their Olimpiadan counterparts.
Orbital Systems:
Pomerium Orbital Defense System (PODS): The Pomerium Orbital Defense System is the most robust station based defense network available to the Magnam Imperii. All of the core worlds of the Imperium are protected by this system, with Pikasis having the densest concentration. The PODS is made of clusters of stations which are each composed of:

Pomerium Orbital Defense System: Type: Defense Platform Clusters Composition: 3x Onagerius Superheavy ODP 18x Ballistae ODP 72x Scorpio (Versio DCLXXXII) ODP Onagerius-Class Superheavy Defense Platform: Type: Long Range Heavy Artillery Armament: 1x MAC-XL 16x PD Lasers Ballistae-Class Defense Platform: Type: Multipurpose Artillery Armament: 1x MAC-M 3x MAC-S 4x Icosistetra VLS 8x PD Lasers Scorpio Versio DCLXXXII (682) Platforms: Type: Close-Range Support Armament: 8x PDC 24x PD Laser |
Planetside Systems:
Charybdis III-Class SSBN: Type: Ballistic Nuclear Submarine Length: 603,5 meters Propulsion: 2x Presurized Water Turbines Armament: 60x Vega Anti-Orbital Missiles Medusa II-Class STL: Type: Submarine Tracted Laser Lenght: 368 meters (412 with the laser) Propulsion: 3x Presurized Water Turbines Armament: 1x Anti-Orbital Laser |
Lernaĩa Sea-Based Anti-Orbital System (Lernaĩa SBAOS):
The Lernaĩa system is a network of radars, lidars, SSBNs and Submarine tracted lasers (STLs) deployed on many Pikasistani worlds in order to ward the planet from Orbital Bombardment and help maintain orbital supremacy. As a network, the Lernaĩa system can be exponentially expanded even in the midst of battle, remembering of its namesake, the Lernaĩa Hydra. Radars and Lidars: The Lernaĩa System can operate from information transmited from various detection arrays, be they land, air, sea or spaceborne, each SSBNs and STLs are able to receive information using a network of buoys and, in case of emergencies, USVs. Charybdis III-Class SSBN: Submarines equiped with vertical launching system capabilities are able to fire interceptor missiles at incoming ordinance. While their goal is to intercept orbital WMDs, they can also serve in the role of ABM systems if the enemy establishes a foothold planetside. STLs: STLs are massive laser arrays tracted and powered by Fusion Propulsion Submarines. They are disenged to be able to severly cripple larger vessels and destroy smaller ones. |
