Kelela: Frontline (2017)
Frontline: The SNV victoria
The story of Frontline revolves around the Enforcers: a group of Genetically-engineered, pseudo-clone soldires created by the Directorate of Janus's councilors- who I will cover in a different post. this post is dedicated to my brainchild and absolute behemoth of a Megastructure, the SNV Victoria. This post is subject to a bit of change after i post it, when i inevitably realize i made some kind of mistake somwhere.
THIS POST IS NOT STANDALONE!! i have to use words and terms I made up that i can't jam into this one and will go in a seperate post, which will go on my masterpost. this is hard sci-fi, which may not be for everyone! I WILL be using numbers like 70 trillion and you MAY not be able to comprehend how many goddamn things that is. here be dragons!
The SNV Victoria
A Massive megastructure designed to deliver powerful PDS, fleet support, battlefield control and ground invasion forces through the use of artificial gestation chambers, The Victoria is the mobile home base of the Enforcers- the Directorate's elite army. 6,000 miles from top to bottom, 4000 miles in diameter at itโs widest point, the SNV victoria is comprable in size to a small exoplanet. importantly, however, upwards of 90% of the Victoria's volume as suggested by those measurments is empty void.
Despite this, the Victoria is inhabited, populated and manned by roughly 70-80 trillion enforcers- around half being Artificers responsible for upkeep, intelligence, repair, and logistics. The victoria is designed to take up a massive amount of space- featuring a central spire which contains much of the Victoriaโs vital systems under heavy shielding and redundant space- and Two layers of rings: a smaller, inner ring and a larger, outer ring- provide stacked housing, depots, foundries, armories, hanger bays, farms, and other spaces.
Dimensions
The central spire stands 6000 miles in height from top to bottom with only about ~700miles being a central core, with 4000 miles of length being a spire that tapers as it ascends, and 1000 miles being a dome on the underside. the assymetry of the Victoria's design is purposeful- the spire is a tool of intimidation, while the Outer ring protects the core of the Victoria and provides a geometric "shadow" for its escort fleets- and other ally fleets which may be present.
The inner ring has 300 miles of space separating it from the central spire(outside of spire to inside of ring). The inner ring is 30 miles thick, 80 miles high, and from the inner ring, outer edge to the outer ring, inner edge, there is a roughly 1,200 mile gap. The outer ring itself is 250 miles high and 80 miles thick.
What is where- a loose description of the distribution of stuff in the Victoria
The upper spire holds long-range sensors, command hubs, spinal ordinances and launch control sites that require and benefit greatly from the unobstructed view such as command and leadership hubs. The outer ring bristles with close-to-medium range weapons, PD, and a few select long range heavy weapons.the outer ring contains agricultural and residential hubs to maintain the enforcers who are stationed there full-time in addition to hanger bays and docks for various strike craft and ship upkeep.
The Core and inner ring house bulk of the housing, farming, and important infrastructure. Major internal foundries, armories, and the Gene engineering bays exist deep within the core structure, in the shadow of the outer ring- well shielded and protected from attack. The majority of food for the spire and dome are shipped from here as well.
lastly, the underside dome contains a few weapons designed for precision orbital bombardment and the Drop Channels for quick orbital insertion drop pods- for when troops need to hit land fast and hit hard. it houses many infermaries, supply depots and a few bays for returning pods and shuttles.
45% of enforcers live inside the inner ring and core structure. 20% live in the outer ring, 15% in the underside dome and a further 15% in the central spire.
The Victoria is the crown jewel of Directorate engineering. it dominates its space in a battlefield as a indomnitable mobile fortress. a status of the Directorate- and the Enforcers- power. To lose it would be devastating- and so the Victoria is always accompanied by a Dreadnout- a Directorate instrument of war- and it's compliment escort. This ensures that the Victoria and its fleet will hold out until reinforcements inevitably arrive.

Lmao Frontline we were about to lose to another team charging us. They literally only needed a few kills. Roomie covered me while I rushed in and Sam LBed em snagging enough last moment points for a win.
Yes I'm a garbage sam in pvp what of it lmao. I'll always get highs off of moments like this.
Edit: actually looking back on it they only need one more second to win rather than kills. They were ticking plenty up by base captures to have won.
