THE PROTO SECTOR
SHORT SUMMARY AS OF 10/28/23
The Proto Sector takes Omega Sector designs and seeks to balance them to Alpha Sector standards. This is done in many ways, including switching all Omega Phasers to Alpha Sector Phasers, adjusting Shield Strengths, examining Warp Power and Total Available Power, Revising Heavy Weapon Range Brackets so they match Alpha Sector Range Brackets, Revising Heavy Weapons so their Energy, Accuracy, and Damage Output match Alpha Sector Heavy Weapons, making sure Total Internals are comparable to Alpha Sector Total Internals, and more. These New, Balanced Empires in the Proto Sector should retain the Flavor and Essence of the Omega Sector.
The Proto Sector takes place 1000 years before the Omega Sector. In that time period, there was a Balance of Power between empires not unlike the Alpha Sector. There were clearly established borders and an ever escalating arms race. Balance in the Proto Sector, therefore, goes beyond mere ship to ship balance. Over the course of 1000 years, the Balance of the Proto Sector eventually gave way to the chaotic, constant wars and ever changing borders of the Omega Sector.
So far, there are only two empires posted for the Proto Sector: the Romanus, soon to be renamed the Imperator, and the Newtling. The Imperator use Revised Tachyon Guns, Alpha Sector Phasers, and Tachyon Rockets. The Newtling use Fire and Surge Torpedoes, in addition to Alpha Sector Phasers.
