Without them, what's a cube, really? Sit on it, Clang.

I just wanted to have some fun and created a sentai‑style squad poster based on the Three Musketeers. But with pilots. In space. Without rapiers and capes. A‑ny‑waaay…

Introducing the Super Squad Ransu Force, comprised of:
Athos (Red), Porthos (Yellow), Aramis (Blue), D’Artagnan (Green), and Lisette (Violet).

And of course… the mysterious white Ransu, Bertrand — present, but not quite there…

Stay tuned — I might do something with this squad someday! 🙂

Tuggy, the drone tug, is my best friend. We’ve been through a lot together — and beyond. He has helped me with countless tugging operations, a duty he carries with pride.

Now famous among Khariians, Tuggy has traveled across countless worlds to help build the Empire. For his efforts during the successful Operation Mango — a hostile strategic takeover of a Tal-Valarian colony — he was awarded the Distinguished Top Hat of Indomitable Honor, which he accepted with grace.

My pal, my buddy, my brother… keep on tugging. ❤️

"Equipped with two Sensor Array Probes (SAP) nested inside its hangar bay, the Butterfly‑Class excels at long‑range reconnaissance. Its mission profile is simple: scan, map, and uncover every hidden corner of the frontier. Its endurance and autonomy make it a staple of deep‑space exploration within the Empire.

But don’t be fooled by its elegant silhouette. The Butterfly can explore peacefully… and sting when required. Armed with four Quad Gatling Custom Turrets, it can defend itself against hostile encounters if needed.

Although the original design included four armored decoy eggs, the module was ultimately scrapped — speed was deemed the top priority."

"Khariians work tirelessly to refine their military systems. From this relentless discipline emerged the Black Labs — secret R&D halls where experiments push the Empire beyond its limits.

Monsters are created there, such as the Gladius, each designed for a single purpose: pure destruction. And the few who have witnessed these creatures… never lived long enough to tell the tale."

🛠I'd like to share this cybernetic faction’s small, compact construction assistant drones that populate their Logistic Corps. More will be added eventually — this is the first edition. Tell me which one intrigues you!🛠

🌐 TACTICAL DATA — KHARIIAN WRAITH 🌐

Wraiths are a type of satellite that use highly advanced stealth technology to maintain communication between Khariian ships across distances our current instruments cannot yet measure.

They are unarmed, which makes them easy targets — but beware. Destroying one is not recommended, as their network may detect the loss and a vessel with superior firepower could respond.

Current intel indicates these machines are laid out in a distinct hexagonal communication grid, deployed by an unknown manufacturing ship — not from their homeworld, nor from any worlds under their influence.

“Khariian Gazers? They say these things burrow into asteroids and remain dormant for years. Their signature is nearly impossible to detect — the perfect stealth scout. I’ve seen one once. A disconnected one, thankfully. They still unsettle me… Those... constricting tendrils and their cold, crimson lenses... Can't imagine what it could do to someone...

So beware, friend... Because once these machines set their gaze upon you, there is no escape.”
