Georg Willis Pilocanci is the former dictator of a country on the Canine Homeworld of Charsic 7. Being removed from office by a coalition of United Canine Nation troops, he was forced into hiding. he eventually found his way to the Pen. After finding out how to work a transdimentional gate brought by Yan Yan Ganaffi, he began immigrating those still loyal to him to this world, along with a good chunk of technology from the Sharpien's (Pilocanci's canine race) reseach and development labs.

 

With the completion of Black Star Air Base, a ten acre complex outside the walls of the Pen's keep, the Sharpiens work at keeping their new home safe from threats. They are currently working on a second satellite known as 'Dark Raven' in the underground labratories under both the pen and the airbase. Using borrowed technologies from the Huskiians (another of the Canine races on Chasic 7), they are learning how to defeat magic with technology.

A Note on Sharpein Technology

 

 

 

Aside from the occasional use of magic by Pilocanci, Sharpeins depend on technology. Most of their weapons are none leathal in nature, designed to subdue or humiliate opponents. Here is a short rundown of vehicles and weapons the Sharpeins brought with them.

 

 

ST-67 'Dooker' Tank: The ST-67 is a six wheeled vehicle two and a half meters tall, two meters wide, and three meters long. It's main weapon is a septic cannon that can fire a stream of biological waste (drained straight from the Pen's sewer system) up to 70 meters. It has a highly acidic cannon-flushing liquid that can be used in a pinch to down enemies with nasty acid burns. The vehicle holds a crew of three; one driver, one weapons operator, and one gunner.

 

AC-77 Combat Glider: This glider is launched from a catapulting system set up on a steep incline. Holding one pilot, it can be armed with a vast array of weapons and equipment. The glider is three meters long, with a four meter wingspan. The glider can reach speeds of close to 1,200 mph. It has an internal power source (Salgic Nitrogen 158 radioactive ions) that lasts for many years (halflife of 60 human years).

 

SB-89 B2 Duster Air-to-Ground Missile: This meter long guilded missile can lock onto biological ground targets as well as vehicles. After striking the ground, the missile explodes, releasing a heavy cloud of fiberglass particles that make breathing almost impossible. Though not meant to be leathel, a direct hit from the missile or very close proximity to the blast radius can cause death.

 

SB-55 Plaster Bomb: This bomb was designed for stopping vehicles and troops by deploying a 'blanket' of stinky goo that immobilizes enemies. The bomb detonates five meters from the ground's surface before impact. The goo raius is 15 meters. It takes 20 hours for the goo to dissolve.

 

ACV-10 'War Wolf': This is a prototype of a new combat aircraft that can preform horizional takeoffs like a helicoptor. Mainly designed as a transport aircraft, it is armed with a four PR Static rail guns for protection. It can hold a crew of five (two pilots, town side gunners, and one crew chief) and 10 Shapien soldiers. Can reach speeds of 800 mph.

 

PR Static Rail Gun: This is a new addition to the Sharpien armed forces. It is a borrowed technology from the Huskiian Empire. It is a four barreled machine gun that has automated loading, electronic control system, and seats one gunner. The system is about 1 1/2 meters tall and a meter in lenght. the rounds it fires are static tazer rounds *called 'biscuits'* that look like a small hockey puck with retractable inch-long blades. When a target is hit, it is shocked with a neurological disruption pulse *NDP* that paralizes the target for a few hours.

 

ST-34 "Flea" hopper transport: This staple in the Sharpien armed forces looks like a metallic ball on four thin, insect-like legs. Due to the high gravity of the Sharpien homewolrd; twice that of Terra, the hopper uses a set of initiation rockets to launch itself up to 25 miles away in a single jump. As the hopper reaches it's apex of a jump it flips over to prepare for landing. Armed only with a pair of XS stun lasers, these are very weak in combat and a big target ( four meters by four meters). It can hold 25 fully equiped Sharpein soldiers or small vehicle. It has a crew of six (two pilots, a navigator, a crew chief, and two gunners). It's inner chamber is gravitationally stablized.
