The Sector Protectorate - alias, Space Feds!
Charting and defending the starfields with pomp and circumstance, this military-industrial complex declared itself the federal government of the Sectors several years ago. Admiral Edward James Almost's stern speeches from "the Cosmic Con" rallied sci-fi fans everywhere to his cause; their long-suffering life partners followed suit. Much of local space has joined up and got to work, while other worlds didn’t care enough to return their calls. The medieval planet of Naughtyham sent a mounted messenger several light-years from home to blow a raspberry at Admiral Almost.
A Forefront-class as it appears in flight.
The Space Feds' first mass-produced fighter is the Forefront-class, a luxurious all-purpose smallcraft. Fast, lightly armed and heavily automated, it's kitted out with heated seats, stud-shooters and a trollium-based FTL unit. Despite being a spacecraft, the suspension manages to be just a little shit; Forefronts require regular service for a pleasant flight.
Hermie Twinkman calls in a trollium tanker for a fill-er-up.
The Sector Protectorate's industrial might comes from the mining of trollium, the lifeblood of their engineering. Trollium is highly volatile; rather than being "excited", particles are constantly "trolled" by highly obnoxious quantum-scale lifeforms which regale them with horrible takes on local nano-gossip. Protectorate workers with experience in online fandom refine the substance by engineering Alternating Laughable Takes: "ALTs". These disingenuous opinions take neither side of an argument until observed, at which point they appear to disagree with the observer.

This battlepack comes with several uniformed Space Feds and an android. In "no particular" order...
Captain Scruff Chinbeard leads the way in his field officer's uniform brandishing an experimental Beam Blaster.
"Hotshot" backs up the Captain's bluffs with a pair of twirly magnums.
Communications Chief Hermie Twinkman documents their derring-do, his Red Phone reporting every move directly to the Admiral.
The Protectorate's most unwieldy allies come in the form of the Multihand-1 androids. They're a bit clumsy, but they're really good at holding things while Real People get the job done.
All in all, the battlepack comes with a little over 100 pieces and 4 figures. A variety of accessories come with.
This MOC was built digitally and I ordered the parts from there; was hoping to expand my collection with a nice bulk order at the time and was also interested in making something sleeker than my usual chunky builds. The .lxf can be found at:

This is my first "real" post on the forum, though I've been active on the Brikwars Discord; here's hoping this thing works!
