Historical & Background Information On The Aquarian Republic

The Caterhan Pride as a single nation did not exist until after they were found by a Watch Dog Alliance exploration cruiser in 5113 C.E.

The Caterhan were originally thought to be technologically backwards but anthropology teams were disabused of this idea quite quickly when it was found that the Caterhan had a very astute understanding of Espsionics and genetic manipulation via selective breeding.

Another surprising find was unearthed in 5912 which was found to be a Progenitor Shuttle craft that had crash landed on the planet nearly 800,000 years ago.

The shuttles database showed that approximately around 795,000 B.C.E. a Progenitor Survey vessel made a crash translation from hyperspace and one of the shuttles managed to escape before the vessel was destroyed. The shuttle was damaged in the explosion and crashed on the planet near an unknown species of felinoids village.

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The shuttle unfortunately had become irradiated from the destruction of the survey vessel and the crew members were dying and the concussion from the shuttle’s crash landing flattened most of the felinoid’s village killing them.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The remaining crew members left alive made their way out of the shuttle and encountered the remaining felinoids.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The felinoids who still remain unnamed were heavily Esper gifted and through some ability merged with the crew members saving both races from extinction and creating the race that would later come to be known as the Caterhan.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The Caterhan Pride includes 2 inhabited systems.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The following is a list of the Star Systems that belong to the Pride.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The Caterhan Pride has two branches of military the Navy and the Panthers. The following section will describe both these branches.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: black; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; mso-shading: white; mso-pattern: solid black;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Pride Navy Forces [PNF]

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The Pride Navy follows the same basic pattern as that of the Theban Cluster Fleet and does not have any ships above the size of Battle Cruiser.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: black; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; mso-shading: white; mso-pattern: solid black;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Uniforms & Insignia of the PNF

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Uniforms of the PN consist of a mono-film duty suit.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The mono-film duty suit’s coloring is dark Red and light Red with gold piping and the reinforced soles and heels are a dark gray color.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The reinforcing for the built in sole covers the toes and the back of the heel, and there is a panel of light Red that runs around the top edge of the toes and approximately halfway back on the sides and then the panel becomes the darker Red.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Starting at mid-thigh on the outsides, a lighter Red paneling starts that runs all the way up the sides of the duty suit and covers the arms in the same color. The rest of the duty suit is of the darker Red color with a rectangular panel of light Red also runs from the collar [which itself is reinforced and of a dark gray color similar to that of the shoe soles] to just above the waist. All the lighter Red panels have the gold piping around the edges the wrists about halfway up the forearm are also dark gray as are the suits integral gloves.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The second part of the uniform for men is a tunic with matching color scheme of the duty suit that magnetically seals at the waist to the duty suit, for women a single piece dress like uniform is worn over the duty suit.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Both male and female members of the PN wear a hip length jacket that has a pyramidal cut at the lower portion of the jacket all the way to the waist and at the chest/breast area is a diamond shaped section cut out of the jacket.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The jacket has extremely pointed thick padded shoulders that cause them to stand up to the sides and the sleeves are of the lighter Red color with dark gray at the wrists and forearms and piped in gold with a high open collar that comes to just below the chin.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Rank insignia is present on the forward part of the shoulders and at the cuffs of the uniform; division and branch patches are worn on the right shoulder while the star nation flag is worn on the left shoulder below the padded shoulders. On either side of the collar are additional rank pins that are actually personal IFF transponders.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The duty suit is made of mono-film and has Damage Deflection 1 while the uniform and uniform jacket are made of a mixture of silk and liquid Nanno-carbons that stiffen on impact.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Dress uniforms pretty much consist of the same thing save that, the jacket is longer and more ornate than the standard one and a standard uniform cap like a captain’s one with a dark Red body and light Red brim with gold piping. The heels of the duty suit are much higher with an almost cowboy style heel on the men’s and a stiletto style heel on the women’s.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Even though in later years the Watch Dog Alliance Nations became more and more integrated militarily the members of those nations still retained their differing rank insignia and were referred to by their normal ranks.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">It should be noted that when off-duty PNF personnel can either wear the full uniform [including jacket] or a metallic version of their mono-film duty suit [most opt for the duty suit as it is more comfortable].

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: black; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; mso-background-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Strategic Military Assets

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The PNF has a number of strategic assets and operates a single military shipyard and two repair yards/depots, the first of these yards is the Pride Orbital Yards in the Cater system orbiting the second planet. The other two yards are repair, refit, and maintenance yards which are also used as depots and mothball centers for retired craft and are quite often used to repair civilian vessels as well too defray the costs of operating the two yards; these yards are the Savannah Yards in the Savannah System and the Wildebeest Yards located in the Oort Cloud of the Cater System.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The Pride Navy does not operate a Aries-Class space station but does have access to the facilities of the Watch Dog Alliances headquarters station WDSS Kodiak in the Ursanite home sytem [which is supported by all WDA member nations].

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Over its long history, the Pride Navy has used hundreds of different weapons and armor some of which are still in service [albeit either as training aids or stowed away in some soldier’s locker].

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The following equipment is what can still be found in service with the Caterhan Pride Naval Forces –

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The Pride Navy operates a single fleet headed by a battleship the PNS Cat’s Eye and includes several thousand vessels, 3,256 vessels to be exact.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The Pride Panthers are the only planet and ship based multi-purpose troops used by the Republic and are heavily based off of the Theban Cluster Fleet Marine Corps.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Uniforms of the Panthers consist of a mono-film duty suit.
