User:Kistan

Kistan is a human (source needed) male (source needed) of approximately 22 to 24 years of age. He lives in the United States. His hobbies are sporadic lore writing, memeing, and generally being awkward. He is the weakest among the True Oldfag Trio both OOC and IC, and generally takes a backseat to leadership and responsibility within the power structure of Ixnay. Known for being a fence-sitting, hand-wringing moderate fuck. RL politics are a bizarre mishmash of technofuturism, moral reformism, and scientific rationalism with little personal religion and some social and economic conservative bits sprinkled in.

Achievements:

- member since 2014

- Poet Laurate for some sick haikus ribbing people

- repeatedly jumping in and out of the colony game

- dying once (but he lived!)

- general oldfaggotry

Kistani technological development remains stable compared to the world at large, but remains weak in specific areas of naval and civil applications. In order to compensate, industrial sabotage is constantly employed to search for technologies that can be stolen and adapted to serve the Empire.

Due to Kistan's alignment with Prizyetsa in the brief Ixnayan Cold War, the NU-based Sverd Industries designed and began to sell warships to Kistan. When the NU collapsed, Kistani agents collected the senior staff of Sverd and most of its mobile assets and harbored them in Kistan. Now a weakened company, Sverd has had to work for the Kistani government in missile and naval technologies in return for diplomatic and physical protection.

The Kistani Navy benefited from the theft of Kiravian Versh missiles, courtesy of the outsourced production plants in the former CESP - another NU nation. Previous attempts to take prototypes from Kiravia itself were deemed too dangerous to follow through on, given the nation's strict security. The Versh Missile is an quasi-ballistic missile designed to target ships and other sea craft. It was designed by the Dorhaven-based Kiravian company Armenwerke and produced by Ember Industries in the CESP. The Versh is notable for its extremely large throw weight and large number of re-entry vehicles. It is also noted for its superior ability to avoid obstacles and its capability to launch from mobile platform. The Versh Missile is a two stage rocket powered by a special solid rocket fuel with a high ISP
