Description (Phew glad thats off my chest, had a massive awesome idea and so had to put it down on something!)

Union Planetary Defense Array 'Megalis Array'

Overview:

The Megalis Array as it is named is one of the largest and most primary of the Unions PDF installations. With extreme defensive and offensive systems and extensive habitation zones the Megalis array can keep up to and exceeding 500,000 occupants completely safe in ideal conditions. Though this number may be increased by a substantial amount the quality of living and acomodation will decrease. The Array itsself is a massive installation. Comprising of one main hub and 4 smaller hubs connected by heavily protected power couplings the Megalis is many kilometres both in length and height. Mounting large anti orbital weapons for driving off enemy forces and massive shield generator arrays for keeping enemy return fire to a minumum the array is the safest place to be in a planetary invasion. When an enemy fleet is detected the occupants of the planet will be evacuated to these Arrays. The amount of Arrays per planet differs widely but the most common amount is 6 per planet though fortress worlds can have up to 20. In peace time the Megalis is used as a military base often filling the role of military academies and training grounds, and often are used as the main command and control of a planet. As for any who think the Megalis as an easy static target... well these oppinions are usually cruely shattered.

Armament: The Megalis is armed to the teeth, Mounting 8 Turrets of 5 Anti Orbital Mass drivers these guns are more than able to blow heavy cruisers from high orbit in a single salvo. Alongside this the array mounts 4 Anti Orbital Missile launchers capable of launching AOBMs to engage enemy ships in extremely high orbits over the planet. As for secondary weapons the array mounts millions of AA guns, large caliber turrets for low orbit ships and ground guns for anniahlating any ground based attacking army. However it is not these weapons that mainly keep the Megalis safe or give it its legendary offensive power. It is the Megalis cannon. This cannon can be fired in many modes, the most powerful however is when the central emitter and all 4 secondary emitters are charged to full and combined to create a blinding beam of energy which if powered completely can cut battleships in half with almost laughable ease. These emitters however can produce less powerful but equally destructive smaller range beams for dealing with close enemies. However the main beam can reach targets even in lunar orbit such is the power it weilds.

Defenses: The Megalis operates thousands of shield generators for defense and 5 main shield projectors for keeping the emitters safe from orbital attack. On full power the Megalis can withstand orbital bombardment from a moderate fleet for up to around 6 years. Though this dosent stop ground forces from entering the shield it will stop any and all bombardments. Though the shield itself can be if needed projected over the surrounding area to keep cities safe though this drastically reduces the shields absorbtion ability. As for armour the Megalis mounts hundreds of ft thick quantum lattice plate able to withstand bombardment. The sole reason Megalis was developed was to defend the Unions citizens, hence why either armament and defense do not lack.

Other equipment: The Megalis array also mounts numerous powerful dimensional scanners to sweep the system its in. It also contains full facilities for the 500, 000 people living there including recreational facilities and full food and water production, it is also fully resistant to chemical, Viral and radialogical attacks. Altogether Megalis is a Fortress designed to protect its ocupants at all costs.

okay, this is awesome

things you may have based it off of
-name and missiles: Megalith from AC4
-ability to withstand massive bombardments: most fortresses in sci-fi, as well as anc

that's all i can think of for your inspirations XD

thanks dan


And no i didnt base it off Megalith from AC4 i actually took inspiration fromΒ armoredcore.wikia.com/wiki/Meg…


Because i wanted this specific array to be mainly the defense of civilians instead of all out military.


The next array however is soley military

okay

and the megalith array was actually the advancement over stonehenge(which we both know i base my railguns off of), and both of which were used to shoot down asteroids, which you can see evidence of the damage all throughout the game

i find it weird how both games' initials are AC4, and the names of the buildings are so similar...
