27th Century Military Technology

EXPLAINING 27th CENTURY TECHNOLOGY
During the majority of the 3rd Millennium, the human race was limited to their own solar system. Only sending robotic probes to the closest star systems.

Propulsion is limited to the old fashioned chemical rocket which became fairly unused after the application of the Ion Drive in the 23rd century. Civilian craft often use solar sails which allowed for travel up to 30%-40% the speed of light. In the 25th century the Horizons Corporation invented the Anti-Matter Drive which allowed for travel up to 99% the speed of light, the fastest means of travel available. However it wasn't used by the inner solar system until the 29th-30th centuries. Therefore the majority of the human race relied on the Ion Drive, which allowed travel up to 70%-80% the speed of light. However the tunnel drive on the Valor was not mass produced again until the 31st century near the end of the Altiran and Cybratic invasion.

Before the creation of the S.S.Valor, shield tech on most warships was limited to heavy armor plating as well as radiation/heat shields. The discovery of the alien ship on Venus was certainly a big technological jump for the human race. Most of the advanced shielding on the S.S.Valor was not mass produced until the 29th century simply because it was extremely difficult to duplicate that type of alien technology.

Weaponry aboard most warships in the 27th century is limited to gauss cannons as well as infrared and uv lasers. Missiles included the nuclear missile, Ion scatter missile and plasma torpedo. However after the construction of the S.S.Valor many new weapons were integrated into UNE warships such as the phantom torpedoes and the god-rod. As well as the plasma cannon which wasn't added to the fleet until the 28th century.
