Secure Military Zone

Jasonian Forces

In the micronational world, war loses most of it's meaning, but it is still something to be avoided at all costs. Although are main belief is that of peace, we must still have a trained military in order to prevent our dreams from being destroyed by those who wish it so.

Aircraft are our main offense. Since land and sea units can do little against us but attempt to smash away our landscape, (which has been reinforced to prevent erosion, and also prevents direct bombardment) they can still attack us from the sky. That is why our unique military units have been created.

Above is a picture of our main aircraft defense: The 'Blackbird'-class heavy assault jet. Those waiting at the Shuttle dock on 9.3 MY might have noticed a delay because one of the shuttles was broken. In reality, it was not broken, but taken to the Armory where the first Blackbird-class jet was created.

These shuttles are large, and there is only a bit of space set aside for passenger transportation. The rest was sometimes used as cargo holds, but this one shuttle, Blackbird 1, was modified. Instead of empty space, it now contains an entire working command center. From there, the Flying Islands of Jasonia can be effectively managed. Also, over thirty concealed turrets were added on the wings. Two forward heavy laser cannons were outfitted on the front and disguised as radio equipment. In short, there is no way to tell the Blackbird 1 from any of our other normal shuttles.

The second class of aircraft is the 'Epoch'-class fighter. This high tech ship has room for three: one pilot, one gunner, and one passenger. It's hull is weak, although it can withstand normal fire for a short period of time. It's only weapons are the two forward mounted laser cannons. These work well against most targets, but poorly against reinforced hardened military installations. They are mainly fighter-to-fighter aircraft.

The main secret of the Epoch-class fighter is it's speed. A scram jet was installed on every one of them to give it a boost. When activated, the scram jet fires a powerful blast, propelling the fighter forward. This speed can save the fighter from a loosing battle. The jet can only be activated for about 5 seconds before overheating.

One secret use of the scram jet is to utilize the 'Epoch'-class fighter's armored nose as a battering ram. The speed the jet gives allows the fighter to smash through nearly anything, although the fighter may be crippled in the process.

Working together, Blackbird and Epoch aircraft can cover each other's weaknesses. The Blackbird has the firepower to reduce a base to rubble, but has a hard time with smaller aircraft. On the other hand, Epochs are good against enemy jets, but lack the punch to get through reinforced walls. Skilled use of these two aircraft is the key to winning a battle.

The Blackbird-class jet can hold up to four Epoch-class fighters: one in each cargo bay. There, the fighters can be fixed, modified, dispatched, or simply transported.

Above is our third unique aircraft: the 'Omen'-class gravship. This isn't really an aircraft, since it can hover in one place. However, it is the most powerful air weapon to be ever designed.

Omen-class gravships have enough shielding to withstand a nuclear blast. They have an internal power source that runs from both the sun and recycling programs, letting them fly virtually forever. They has the processes to synthesize their own food, water, and atmosphere for their occupants. They are armed to the teeth. In short, they are tough.

Using (or even building) such an awesome super weapon is against our core beliefs. HOWEVER, one may be built if the situation arrives. This will take a lot of resources, time, labor, money, and energy. One should not underestimate the costs of this weapon.

The 'Dio'-class Fighter/Bomber was designed as JASO's answer to AIN-controlled Epoch-class fighters. With the fighter armament package, it boasts a chain gun, two anti-aircraft missile launchers, and one fixed anti-aircraft laser, outgunning even the best Epoch pilot. In bomber mode, these weapons and systems are removed to make room for a ten Heavy Bomb payload. In this mode it is defenseless against enemy fighters, so a Dio-class Fighter or an Epoch-class fighter are recommended as escort. Because of the vast modifications that must be made, changing modes takes quite a time.
The Dio boasts many enhanced features. Besides a new targeting system, the Dio has been equipped with a miniaturized fission engine to power it' many systems. It can also achieve low Earth orbit altitudes, and use an optional levitation emission system to better maneuver. It also boasts modifications designed by JASO projects "Sleek Design" and "Engine Upgrade", giving it more power and better atmosphere maneuver.

The second of our newer fighter-class aircrafts, the 'Infinity'-class Bomber serves mostly as a strike bomber against heavily defended military installations. It features a customizable payload to serve it's current mission, making it a more specialized and useful bomber then the Dio's secondary payload function. It also has a small chain gun fixed on the front of the aircraft to protect it from enemy fighters. The armor is weak, however, so one should be careful when sending them against elite enemy fighter units.

Our only military sea craft, the 'Cyclone'-class Attack Sub was designed to attack enemy ships and protect the Ocean Palace, which is the FIoJ's first foothold into the domain of the sea. Using a modification on a normal submarine propulsion system ("Aquaspeed"-Underwater Jet Engine), a sleek body, and underwater maneuvering sidethrusters, it is specially designed to locate and respond to or avoid enemy torpedoes.

Cyclones carry a payload of 6 small torpedoes and a crew of only two, with one captain/defensive engineer and one gunner controlling the powerful adjustable Hyperlaser turret. Using a specially designed high-stress camera mounted just below the firing emitter of the turret, the turret can double as a periscope or visual searching method against stealth enemies. The turret has been positioned high enough as not to accidentally damage the rudder or communications array..

Note: The following is used by R&D when designing new prototypes. Civilians need not read this.

Lasers/Chain guns

Anti-aircraft lasers

These lasers are weak, but have a high recharge rate and low power requirements. Because of this, they make excellent anti-aircraft or underwater combat weapons where a glancing blow is all that is needed on an enemy craft.
Recharge rate: 3 seconds
Armor piercing capability: 2 inches
Armor weakening capability: 7 inches

Standard Chain gun

The standard chain gun offers a non-laser weaponry system, conserving energy for engines and other weapons. Naturally, chain gun bullets must be restocked separately from the normal recharge of the aircraft they are on, sacrificing convenience during refueling.
Fire delay: .5 seconds
Armor piercing capability: 1.5 inches
Armor weakening capability: 6 inches

Heavylasers

Heavylasers are slow to recharge, but can do a lot of damage if they hit. They are effective against non mobile targets. (such as military bases or naval vessels) They can deliver a devastating bombardment in large volleys, however, their large power supply makes them mildly unconventional for normal fighters.
Recharge rate: 15 seconds
Armor piercing capability: 1 foot
Armor weakening capability: 3 feet

Hyperlasers

An upgrade to the Heavylaser, Hyperlasers boast nearly double the power but much higher power usage. If the power is available, they should be used instead of Heavylasers. This power requirement makes them almost impossible to place on a fighter without also installing a fission power source
Recharge rate: 20 seconds (30 seconds recommended to prevent overheat)
Armor piercing capability: 2.5 feet
Armor weakening capability: 5 feet

'Armor Blaster' lasers

'Armor Blasters' are the opposite of Hyperlaser: instead of a general, devastating bombardment, these deliver a thin, concentrated blast that can cut through many feet of high density armor. This requires more targeting precision, but gives more damage. Their low recharge rate is to make their power drain lesser: even fighters can be equipped with 'Armor Blasters' with relative ease.
Recharge rate: 30 seconds
Armor destruction capability: 5 feet
Armor piercing capability: 10 feet
Armor weakening capability: up to ~25 feet

'World Devastation' ultra-powered city-leveling laser emission system

An absurdly powerful laser system, this combines several hundred Hyperlasers into one concentrated blast. The result: total devastation to anything in front of it, and widespread destruction for miles. An atrocity in nature, this weapon also needs so much power that using it in a battle more that once is impossible (and overkill, for there is virtually nothing to fire at once it is used)
Recharge rate: 16 hours
Total devastation capability: ~1 mile
Damage range capability: ~3 miles

Missiles/Bombs

Anti-aircraft seeker missiles

Seeker missiles make an expensive alternative to their laser counterparts. However, no aim is required: launching a volley of these in battle causes widespread chaos and destruction. The missiles seek using an IPP identifier: any FIoJ or allied fighter not broadcasting the current code might find itself under attack.

Launch delay: 20 seconds

Blast piercing capability: 6 inches

Blast damage capability: 3 feet

Heavy Bombs

An excellent bombardment weapon, they require no targeting, power or cooling systems: simply a drop tube. They are more cheaper then a laser bombardment system, but then again, once the bombs have been dropped, they are gone until they are restocked.

Launch delay: 10 seconds

Blast piercing capability: 4 feet

Blast damage capability: 9 feet

Cruise Missiles

Cruise Missiles are fast and have an option for targeting. They lack the maneuver to follow aircraft but have devastating effects against ground targets.

Launch delay: 15 seconds

Blast piercing capability: 3 feet

Blast damage capability: 8 feet

Torpedoes

The underwater equivalent of a Cruise Missile, Torpedoes powerful weapons of underwater combat. Although most submarines carry many of these, as extreme depths only a few hits on an enemy craft are needed to weaken it enough for the water pressure to crush it flat.

Launch delay: 20 seconds

Blast piercing capability: 2 feet

Blast damage capability: 6 feet

Cluster Bombs

Cluster bombs launch like heavy bombs but spread into a mesh of smaller explosives several seconds after launch. These smaller explosives can take out a group of fighters due to their wide covering range.

Launch delay: 20 seconds

Blast piercing capability: 4 inches

Blast damaging capability: 1.5 feet

Armors

Alloy Armor

Alloy armor is a mixture of several strong metals. The mixture can not be publicly revealed, however it is tough and reliable. It is widely used in FIoJ structures, along with the Epoch-class fighter and Cyclone-class submarine.

Heavy Alloy Armor

This mixture is more expensive, as it in an alloy where the stronger metals are present in higher concentrations. It is stronger then normal alloy armor, and is used in military bases and the Blackbird-class heavy assault jet.

'Shockwave' Alloy Armor

This variant on heavy alloy armor distributes the shocks from low concentration lasers and explosion impacts though out the area. This makes it much more difficult to actually break though the armor. It is very expensive and time consuming to create, and is only planned to be used in the Omen-class Gravship

Neutronium armor

Neutronium armor is designed specifically to repel light laser fire or chain gun bullets. When equipped on a fighter, it offers better protection against these types of attacks but is weaker then alloy armor against explosive weapons. It is being used in the Dio-class Fighter/Bomber.

Engines (Aircraft)

'Interair' Propulsion Systems

Interair systems are the basic model for fighters. They offer low power propulsion and can function well under extreme circumstances and maneuvers. They are non-energy sources and are useful in fighters that don't have energy weapons or an energy power source, such as bombers.

'Scramjet' Propulsion Systems

Scramjets function like normal engines, with one twist: upon command of the pilot, scramjets pull all available power from weapon systems to launch the fighter forward at breakneck speeds. The engines are designed to handle this sort of stress, however, it disables the scramjet function to overheat for a few minutes after a use to prevent excessive damage to engine components

Epson 001A-001 'Arbitors'

Epson Arbitors are the direct result of the JASO project "Engine Upgrade." It is based loosely on the 'Scramjet' to offer a more controlled acceleration, allowing the aircraft to reach high speeds and maintain control over it's acceleration and maneuver systems.

'Airflap' Maneuvering Thrusters

Airflaps provide additional turning power to fighters, allowing them to whip around quickly and surprise an unwary enemy. The faster the fighter goes, the more these thrusters are useful to prevent the wings from being torn off during maneuvers. They have no conventional purpose on slower, heavy aircraft.

'Skylaunch' Propulsion Systems

Skylaunches are the standard for large aircraft: they provide high power at a high rate, with a high power consumption. Several of these working together allow the aircraft to maneuver.

'SSPC-mark I' Anti-Gravity Levitation Emission Systems

These systems are used by the Flying Islands themselves. They are high power, but reliable and are designed for constant use. They don't offer the quick controls that the mark-II model provides, but they are useful when used by static air institutions.

'SSPC-mark II' Anti-Gravity Levitation Emission Systems

A modification on the SSPC-mark I, the mark II model provides both better altitude control and maneuvering capabilities. They would be harmful on FIoJ, where maneuvers would disrupt the cities there. However, on a war craft, they provide the maneuver that would be useful when delivering bombardments.

Engines (Seacraft)

"Aquaspeed" Underwater Jet Engine

A modification on the standard for underwater vehicles, Aquaspeed Engines offer the speed a fighter submarine requires with the power and size limitations of the crafts themselves. Strong and reliable, Aquaspeed Engines are most efficient on smaller types of subs.

Underwater Sidethrusters

Sidethrusters are the sea equivalent of Airflap maneuvering jets. Mounted on the side of a small submarine, they offer the thrust to turn and maneuver the craft when needed.

Power Sources

High-Octane Jet Fuel

A cheap but low efficiency fuel, jet fuel is used best in fighters that don't carry energy weapons and thus don't require capacitors to hold extra power.

Energy Capacitors

Energy Capacitors can hold a good deal of energy when recharged. This energy can be used to power all laser weapons, maneuvering flaps, and propulsion systems such as the 'Scramjet' and the 'Skylaunch' that give maximum output when powered with an energy source.

'AtlanTech-mark' Miniaturized Nuclear Fission Reactor; Model 0001A-1

Created and manufactured only by the AtlanTech company, this nuclear power source offers far more power then normal capacitors. They are expensive but critical to fighters that use all the latest technology upgrades.

Shielding

I.R.G Prototype

The IP Rotation Generator is currently the only shielding system used by the FIoJ. It offers protection from weapon systems that use banning powers to eliminate intruders, making it useful to equip on fighters that need to intrude into this type of territory.
