Flagship of the Crux Merceneries
Warp drive cooling down
(A) "Hmm, wow, looks like we are hired again, by the Terrian Orca's"
(Ca) "Well thats great...lets just hope they dont think we are pirates...I mean we do hang around pirate space so they may mistake us for rats..."
(A) "Nah, I dont think so, they may have hunter grade weaponary like us...yet we wield the higher caliber, so thatd be illogical...besides they want us to escort one of their gunboats to Tullop, in the Deprona system. The red star system isnt known for piracy...but rather its aliens..."
(Ca) "Deprona aye? they think we got what it takes to fight those inhosterran guys? I mean, the pay has to be high...else its an easy no"
(Turret Gunner) "Im not too sure if these things can punch through alien armour, I mean these guys love purging iirc, they obviously would have advanced armour tech"
(A) "Indeed...fortunately they are offering 5 million for this, sounds reasonable to me"
(Ca) "Not bad, lets just hope we dont get jumped by aliens...what makes this gunboat so special that it needs an escort like ours cap?"
(A) "Apparently they are transporting their leader and council to Tullop to host talks regarding land they want to purchase to establish a base within the deprona system, dont know why, yet 5 million is 5 million, and thats all thats matters to me"
(Ca) "Agreed"
-Crux Merceneries upon accepting hire by the The Terrian Orca's for a transport mission to Tullop
The Stepharos is the flagship of the Crux Merceneries, who have a reputation for being swift, precise and always cleaning up behind a mess, rumour has it that the Commonwealth hires them to even aid on anti piracy operations. The Stepharos is a custom flagship, once piloted by a pirate captain who loved spending money and tearing through freighter hulls, ofcourse this pirate captain had come to an end thanks to the Crux merceneries through to use of modified bomber frigates, yet the flagship was in a restorable state, with few illegal weapons (turrets and melee) remaining. They had got it restored and in operational shape, on 1 condition: hunter grade weapons only and all illegal items are to be turned in.
This ship boasts an arnament of 10 tri barelled Hunters H plasma cannon turrets, 4 uni barelled Hunters H Railgun turrets, 4 integrated Hunters Rigel class anti capital railguns, 2 railgun bays in the rear (2nd bulge) and several uni barelled plasma CIWS turrets. This ship is also equipped with ID and livery changing technology (works with Nano LEDS which mimic paint and use intergrated AI systems to replicate how paint would look in certain light conditions) in order to disguise itself as a freighter, miner or passenger transport vessel, in order to ensure survival and lower the chances of enemies finding them. This ship has served in many battles against piracy (14 sieges, 2 exterminations, 5 zone clearing operations and 3 station raids), escorts, hunts (hunted 55 people sucessfully, 1 being an infulential dealer in contraband items) and anti hijack missions (retrieval of a hijacked ship by boarding it and making the hijackers surrender) making it quite feared.

@mcialves dude...s don't go around my posts telling me abt your system, rather pls mention me in the systems comments pls...because it kind of does get annoying and is practically advertising...and I'm rlly busy, I might not have time to test your system

@Zenithspeed yep...never give humans superior weapons or a new toy...Prometheus learnt that the hard way when he gave us fire, that lore is rlly dope brother, sorry I saw this so late

@Aludra877 thanks, i appreciate the detailed reply
for me, pretty much anything that is Zenith tech is illegal for military use, and that includes all weaponry since they're ridicilously overpowered and Zenith knew humans would destroy themselves if they had access to them
everything else is mostly similar to IRL, so biological and chemical stuff, as well as nuclear weapons are all illegal to use in combat... in theory at least, because there's always gonna be a outlier (Zenith and the rest of trio don't use them, as even though the rules don't apply to them, their own weapons are simply better, as mentioned above) -

@Zenithspeed and yeeting of an asteroid too would be illegal if it were set on path to a populated area (space hab cluster, colony, miner settlement, etc) yet if not...authorities would ask why, its not commonly used by the militaries, yet it can be used against large loothouses

@Zenithspeed well illegal would be chemical weapons, anti matter weapons (should one get their hands on it somehow), concentrated Xray beams, and ultra heated plasma cannons (too hot for civilian use), hollowpoint railgun ammo (or fragmentation), acid based weaponary and bio weapons mainly, as for napalm...idk how that'd really work in space, nukes are supposed to be used on planets only (considering how a nuke in space nearly ended humanity) as well Gamma Radiation beams sound interesting, as well anything that is really considered too dangerous for civilian or hunter use, The military on the other hand, can use chemical, acid (Taros uses custom chemical ammo in his gatling gun (which is only to be used against ships, not people) and the botanians used acid injecting torpedoes against the flesh during the flesh war) and anti matter weaponary (anti matter to be used by the Phoenix corps) x ray beams have been confiscated before...and are yet to be implemented by the Phoenix corps, hollowpoint railgun ammo can be used by military vessels too, but for really large ships, planets (to get through to bunkers), stations, asteroids and large ice crystals. Bio weapons, the botanians are experts at that, yet no one else really touches base there since...there's no reason too and they don't know of any alien they'd want to attack with bio weaponary.

i wonder, what are considered as "illegal weapons" in your lore?
long-range napalm?
nuke launchers?
gamma radiation beams? (akin to my GRBL)
taking an asteroid or other space object and yeeting it at something?
any weapon that has been modified to have specifications beyond those set by some ruling body? (increased diameter, projectile velocity, etc.) -

@randomgamerofficial yep, it was supposed to be a cruiser for something else, yet nah, flagship is just more fitting, especially making it custom

@Zenithspeed as well, in this case, the old stepharos (when piloted by its previous captain) hosted heavy intergrated hollowpoint railguns, intergrated acid grenade launchers (proxy fused, it was meant for the hull), several ultraheated (about 132 kelvins above legal level) plasma cannons and a cenral Xray beam, its weakness being its high energy use, not enabling it to have much ciws the captain relied on Heavy CIWS escort frigates as ciws due to this, one could take out the firgates with energy or high velocity projectile weaponary and destroy the flagship with torpedoes or missiles, ofcourse, when it was doing missions, the stepharos fleet went with more warships like cruisers and carriers, yet when it was "alone" it was just it and the frigates.
