Primary Tech: Medical Technology - Aschen Medical technology is bar none some of the most advanced Technology known to the Universe. The Aschen are adept in Genetic engineering, biological manipulation, medical nanotechnology, vaccines, and anti-aging treatment. This medical technology stems from research into derelict ancient technology, as well as the Aschen's own heightened understanding of the nature in their environment. Notable projects include the Anti-Aging project, Chronaline Project, and the Reverse-Necrosis project, which has shown promise in reviving the recently deceased.
Secondary Tech: Advanced shields and energy weapons - Utilizing much of the knowledge the Aschen have gained from their own research, as well as research into alien, and ancient Technologies. The Aschen have developed some remarkably advanced energy weapons. Though not exactly adhering to the 'If it kills people it works' Aschen weapons work as a fearsome opponent on the battlefield, with their energy-based properties allowing them to rip through most armors, and have also eliminated the need for physical ammunition.
Aschen Shield technology is also some of the most advanced known to the Universe, where most factions utilize shields and other barrier technology to stop or slow energy weapons, Aschen shields can also strip the kinetic energies from projectiles, rendering them harmless. In addition to the diffusive energy properties of Aschen shields, explosives and other splash-effect weapons are typically resisted by the properties of Aschen shields.
Tertiary Tech: Quantum Technologies - After unlocking the library of the Ancients in the Pegasus galaxy, the Aschen have delved into the sciences behind Quantum technology. Fruits of this research include projects like the Bifrost project, the Quantum Pole Generator, which in theory could provide limitless power to ships, planets, and defense stations alike.

The Imperial Navy - The Imperial Aschen Aschen Navy -- though better known as the AHSC, are the backbone of the entire Aschen Empire, tasked with defending the Empire, protecting the borders, and protecting the shipping lines. The standard ship in the Imperial Navy is the Reverence I, a well rounded Aschen ship, packing firepower, troop carrying capacity, and fighter support, as well as Planetary Assault capabilities. The AHSC Also holds several sub branches. The Objective Force, Tactical Operations, and AHSC Strategic Command
Tactics of the Imperial Navy - Tactics of the Imperial Aschen Navy include things like the 'Hub Doctrine' using a central logistical and carrier point to conduct operations. This is evidenced with ships like the Reverence, which is capable of acting as a hub for assault forces on a given planet. In space, Aschen doctrine focuses around roughly the same thing, utilizing a central logistical point and deploying capital ships and strike craft from that point. In addition to these tactics, the Aschen Navy also utilize a 'Doctrine of Fear' tactical approach, often forcing surrender from their enemies.
Technology of the Imperial Aschen Navy- The Aschen Navy utilize the best technology the Aschen can afford them. Individual soldiers are equipped with the standard Type 53 Disruptor rifle, with a sidearm or PDW of either a Plasma rifle, Compacted-Disruptor rifle, or Disruptor pistol. Aschen soldiers can also utilized powered armor, heavy energy weapons, and combat skins to provide ground troops with unparalleled resilience and flexibility on the battlefield. Infantry armor consists of kinetic and thermal resistant ceramite armor, layered over a nanomesh composed of trinnium and kevlar, allowing for flexibility, and strength in combat. However these armor systems are slowly being phased out in favor of the CUIRASS System.
Uniforms of the AHSC
Uniforms:
From left to right; Officer Dress class A; Enlisted dress class A; Officer winter coat; Officer Duty Class B-1; Officer Duty Class B-2; Uniform without Jacket; Enlisted Duty Class B
Flight Suit:
Flight suits with left sleeve pockets are used by flight-qualified crew (pilots, ECOs, etc.). The flight suit is a life-support garment and can sustain the life of the pilot in hostile environments up to and including total vacuum and freezing temperature. Flight suits also have a metal collar that is attached to maintain an airtight seal between the flight suit and a helmet. Often, when not on a mission pilots wear the suit with the top half rolled down and hanging at their waist, revealing the t-shirt and tank top they wear underneath. It also has been used to make an air-tight seal in a vessel by filling in a hole in the hull. Additionally, the flight suit has a chronometer mounted in a cuff. Pilots and ECOs wear several patches on their flight suits: On the left shoulder a patch designating the ship they are assigned to, and on the right shoulder a patch for what craft they operate, usually a Viper or a Raptor. Moreover, a squadron patch is sometimes worn on the left breast under the outer layer of the suit.
Green Fatigues:
Like the blue officer duty uniforms, the fatigue uniforms display the emblem of the Aschen Confederation, and denote what vessel the wearer is serving on. Rank insignia are affixed to both sides of the collar. The green uniform is worn by both officers in off-duty and informal situations, and enlisted crew as their regular uniform. A tan variation is worn by warrant officers.
Flight Crew Coverall:
When on-duty, enlisted flight deck crew wear color-coded coverall uniforms according to occupation specialty with reflective safety tapes and rubber utility pockets.
