Background

Arkbird

The Arkbird is a High-Atmosphere Mobile Spacecraft operated by Osea. Born of the SDI (Strategic Defense Initiative) program in the ‘80s, it was changed over to be part of the Osea-Yuktobania international space development program after the end of the cold war. It was constructed jointly by the two.

​Rather than returning to ground, it has maintained a continuous orbit since entering service, making use of SSTO (Single Stage to Orbit) shuttles to ferry supplies and personnel. For this reason it’s technically classified as a satellite, but its ability to make large changes to its orbit by descending into the upper stratosphere means that this is no ordinary space platform; it maintains a high degree of freedom.

Osea Maritime Defense Force - 3rd Fleet
Aircraft Carrier Kestrel: OFS (Osean Federation Ship) Kestrel

Newport-Sargo Shipyards accepted the contract to construct the seventh ship in the Hubert class on July 29th, 1991.​

She was turned over to Osean Navy in Febuary, 1999 and commissioned one month later on the 27th of March, 1999.

While berthed at St. Hewlett Port, she was caught in Yuktobania's attack concurrent with the declaration of war on September 27th, 2010. As flagship, her fleet was joined by the SIGINT ship Andromeda.

Basset Space Center

This mass driver station constructed on the Osean continent along the equator was built jointly by both Osea and Yuktobania to further their “Permanent Space Station Construction Program,” held up as a foothold towards the normalization of their diplomatic relations following the end of the Cold War.

It is a large, curving structure, serving to launch objects into orbit using a linear accelerator (a comparatively low cost means of ferrying payloads by the applied use of electromagnetic force) stretching 12km long, instead of primarily by means of solid fuel rockets.

​The payloads are almost wholly unmanned due to strong acceleration forces, but it’s also possible to ferry personnel by using the SSTO shuttle’s rockets.

Osean Federation Capital: Oured

A city facing Oured Bay and located in Osea's southeastern region. It is the Osean Federation's largest city with a population of approximately 7,650,000 (as of 2009), and is composed of six administrative districts: Burton, Glennon, Stockham, Lindsey, Reinhardt, and Eversole. The Osean President's official residence "Bright Hill" is located here.

Original Text

"アークバード(Arkbird)"とは、オーシア連邦保有の大気機動宇宙機である。'80年代に政策されたSDI(戦略防衛構想)計画を母体とするが、冷戦終結後、オーシア・ユークトバニア両国の国際宇宙開発計画の一部に転換。共同建造された。

就航後は地上に降りる事無く軌道上を周回しており、物資や人員の補給は単段シャトル(SSTO)を用いて行う。それ故厳密には衛星に区分されるが、大気圏上層に降下し軌道面を大きく変更する「大気利用軌道変換」を可能とする為、従来の宇宙圏プラットフォームには無い、高い自由度を確保している。

1991年7月29日にヒューバート級7番艦としてオーシア海軍からニューポート・サーゴ造船所が建造契約を受けた。
1999年2月オーシア海軍に引き渡され、その1ヶ月1999年3月27日に就役。
2010年9月27日セント・ヒューレット港停泊中、ユークトバニアの宣戦同時攻撃に巻き込まれる。
旗艦には通信情報艦アンドロメダも加わっている。

バセット宇宙基地

バセット宇宙基地

オーシア大陸赤道に位置するマスドライバー基地は、冷戦後のオーシア・ユークトバニア国交正常化の足がかりとして掲げられた「恒久的宇宙ステーション建設計画」を推進するため、両国共同で建設されたものである。

従来の固体燃料ロケットを主体とした往還手段に変わり、全長12kmに及ぶ長大なリニアカタパルト(電磁力を応用した比較的低コストな物資移送手段)を用いて物体を軌道上に打ち上げる為、大きな曲線を描いた様な構造となっている。

強力な加速力を得るため打ち上げる物資の殆どは無人であるが、単段シャトル(SSTO)のロケットを併用することにより、人員の輸送も可能である。
