Cyborg Dome Drone Bust

When you're an AI, you're going to want a natural looking drone. Nothing like basing it off your organic self, albeit with a few enhancements. A few sensors here and a few electrodes there make it perfect for computer control. ---- Done by the awesome Dr.Pickelle.

Shipping

Ever fall into a reality warp and just become a hip. I've never been into shipping but looks like that's going to be me full time. Thank god I ended up as the AI. ---- Done by the awesome SilverGriffin21.

Teshkavan CDH-05 Heavy Dropship

The Teshkavan CDH-05 is a fifth generation orbital dropship transport developed by the Teshkavan Imperial Marine Corps for rapid response, heavy infiltration, and fire support. With a 25 meter overall length and tremendous carrying capacity, it is able to pick up everything short of a tank and to take it to any part on a planet. With six vertical lift engines, its able to easily lift 20,000 kilograms of cargo up to 10,000 kilometers. After doing its role as transport, it can then lie in wait, offering fire support thanks to missile pods, a vertical launch system, and turret. ---- Slaved over by the awesome Valkyr1a. Thanks man!

Behemoth TVB-5 Manufacturing

Teshkava armor, called Behemoths (in their tongue "Kahnasha"), is constructed mainly to be three things: Cheap, adaptable, and effective. Like Teshkava shipbuilding, these hybrid electric-fuel cell vehicles are highly configurable to a specific environment through ample room for field modification. Since it's inception on the drafting table, it was first and foremost designed for tweaking by behind the lines mechanics and field crews looking to try to best use their tank for the particular environment they're in. With this in mind, designers worked the idea that all configurable addons should tie into a core set of processes. This would allow crews to operate and move between them planet to planet and not having to retrain for a specific vahicle, saving critical time. As for their manufactories, Teshkava manufacturing processes could be called quite traditional, with both organic workers in their State Service period work alongside robots work to complete these vehicles. Shown is an Teshkavan assembling the "Terrestrial Vehicle Behemoth - Fifth Generation" or TVB-5. This tank, given the nickname "Telshawa" after a Progenitor Commander in the AI war, is the latest tank. In it's factory form it's armed with a 120 mm Behemoth grade variable velocity cannon and two variable cone rapid fire cannon shooting flechettes at targets. The behemoth is also capable of continuing to fight even during EMP-like conditions (often called "degraded mode") thanks to redundant and hardened circuitry along with analogue and manual backups Factory Specs: Weight:40 tonne Power:4x BEM-5A electric motor pontoons rated at 750ps each, total output of 3,000ps Weapon:Primary- 1x 120mm Dexos Corporation designed CBR-7 variable velocity rail gun, Secondary- 2x 25mm flechette dispensers, tertiary weapons may also be available Top Speed:90kph (road), 60 kph (off road) Armor:Passive- Shaval armor (Crystaline, temperature and corrosive resistant composite over flexible resin cores), Active- Dexos corporation designed BAA-8 semi-active kinetic kill system

Walk in the Woods Scouting has always been a dangerous profession regardless if its for military or civilian applications. Poisonous flora, viscous fauna, and occasionally a civilization. At Taless Corporation, their scouts are decked out in borderline illegal technology so that understanding and the fundamentals of life, the universe and even ourselves. Exploitation of genetic wealth on uncontacted planets allows for better soldiers, a more resilient population and some occasional fun, all to make a little bit of money too. What do the scouts get out of it? Big checks and high adventure and plenty of solitude. Wherever they are. ---- An ever awesome commission by lethaldoors. I'm speechless at the quality and turnaround

Distant Thunder

"Kovashte" is a word that has a long meaning to the Progenitor people, the word bringing to mind the many far off sounds of distant thunder of an orbital bombardment. The word comes from the word "Koshtae" meaning "to fire" and "Vaste" meaning "rain". Each ship bringing a fiery rain to whatever its target is. Even in the far off distance the gentle rumble of impacting shells has its own calm to it. Much like a thunderstorm, its distant rumble oddly soothing in spite of its powerful fury. 

To many soldiers looking on, though, its time to take stock, eat, sleep and generally use what little time that they have between engagements. This soldier relaxing with an energy bar as he prods a fire. Though the city has been declared safe, there are always patrols, heavily armed gunships effortlessly and mercilessly hunting for signs of resistance. Tomorrow though, they'd be their chariots to ride into battle to proudly fly the Imperial Banner over the remains of the city.

Carrier OpsSpace carrier operations are consist of very large ships equipped with fighter aircraft that are capable of jumping to intersect enemy fleets, fire their payloads and depart. Maintaining and continuing these operations takes many thousands of systems and a complicated and resilient logistics network. ---- Freaking epic pic done by an anonymous artist.

Hydrocarbon Extraction Worker

To the uninitiated, it would appear the that the Progenitor Empire doesn't seem to have much in the way of automation. Many other species look down on them having delicate systems barely automated. However this is done for a variety of reasons. Social stability is chief amongst them but it also steps down into liability and other historical reasons. Regardless of the reason the Progenitor Empire imposes much stricter controls on automation following a conflict where after a computer system gained sentience, the empire ordered a moratorium on Deep thinking computers. That said such research is still conducted, just certainly not in the open.

This Progenitor worker is working on a hydrocarbon extractor. While hydrocarbons aren't used as they were historically used, which the internal combustion engine phased out long before space travel or even their existence. Hydrocarbons are critical in the development and manufacturing of common lightweight materials such as carbon fiber and graphene.

The Progenitor assimilation process is an intense and life altering process that converts a member of one species to their own. Justifications for this practice are simplified logistics and increased social cohesion. Despite the extreme nature of the process, great care was taken to ensure that the process does not alter mental state too much.

Welcome to the empire, Alex.

Progenitors come in many colors per birth or individual taste. Color customization allows one to be an individual in a sea of sameness.

3D commission is coming along nicely.

[thedomehead]

Progenitors are a species of engineered beings that assumed their creators position following a devastating plague. An imperialistic and assimilatory race, they're more than happy to have you come along, though they may request a few changes along the way.
