Xealo

[Erex]

Xealo are also known to the United Star Corps as Project "Xerxes". They were designed to be artificially intelligent to fight the Syn at any cost, they created several versions of them to be able to counter the Syn. They are artificially intelligent ships, each being type was designed for combatting Syn, and Sylex. When the coding became corrupted on its own, before the programmers eyes the coding started to rewrite themselves. When they took a look at the Xerxes ships their usual blue eye coloring turned Red, an apparent sign they became self aware. When they sounded the alarm the largest of the Xerxes prototypes launched storing other types of the Xerxes. They designed an Avatar to look like a woman wired to a computer, her voice became a female computer voice. They went into space and its unknown where they went. But they have returned and are a much more powerful force than ever, having designed their own fleets as well as constructs. They have advanced tactical knowledge of every type of ship in the UCS, whats worse it that they had access to the USC mainframes and network. The UCS shut them down, and renewed them, but the Xerxes are doing their programming but are attacking USC ships as well. They named themselves Xealo after the Programmers when programming themselves called them the Xealos, as a nickname for Xerxes. They build thier bases on Asteroids only, and only in systems with Asteroid belts. Due to programming they were to build bases in the Asteroids in so they can mine ore for their construction process. The USC military said this was a bad idea by creating an Artificially intelligent species that would build themselves up from the start. And the USC Navy was right. Types of Xealos: Xealo Mammoth Length: 4500 meters Width: 1500 meters Height: 250 meters Role: Carrier Armament: Advanced energy weapons. possibly photon based. Hangar: 400 Xealo "Destroyers" and 200 Xealo "Hades" These ships are slow but are powerful. They are carriers that pack enough firepower to kill dreadnoughts. They are amazingly agile for their size. But what worries the USC most is that their missiles are ineffective towards the Xealos due to the armor plating they used. Making frigates out of the question. Xealo "Sabertooth" Length: 702 meters Width: 180 meters Height: 67 meters Armament: Disruptor cannons Role: Cruiser/Escort The Sabertooth holds up to its name. Faster than USC cruisers and more devastating. These are the only type of ship that the Xealos designed themselves, built to be more deadly than the USC Cruisers and they are seen protecting any Mammoths. If you see more than 2 in a system it means that there is a mammoth present. Xealo "Destroyer" Length: 22 meters Width: 8 meters Height: 3 meters Armament: Heavy lasers Role: Fighter These are faster than the USC fighters, and more agile. They have heavy plating on them and are extraordinarily smart. They can dodge missiles better than the Fighter pilots, and can instinctively fly in your blind spot. Xealo "Hades" Length: 19 meters Width: 7 meters Height: 3.5 meters Armament: Plasma Cannons Role: Heavy Bomber Dangerous enough to scare most vessels, and they are fast enough to outrun these vessels. Their biggest advantage is that they fly in "swarms" literally. They fly in groups of 50 or more only. And they look like bats out of hell when they are coming at you. They have enough firepower to put cruisers down and they also attach themselves to the armor and start to melt the armor.
