Enemies, Allies, and Ideas for Sidereals, Eternals, and above

Was the mordite axe inspired by the blade ship from Animorphs?
Indeed it was, though mine i see as both more geometric in appearance and like cooled lava, so it has a weird naturally formed and crystallized look to it, but yes I did base the design loosely around the Yeerk Blade Ship, I always thought that thing sounded scary AF, the Mordites in design too are based around the creatures that killed off the Chee in the Animorphs as well, both the Mordites and the Axe are only inspired outwardly as 1000 'blade' ships would crumble like dust and subsequently explode in a cacophony of antimatter if the Yeerks found themselves up against a Mordite ship lol. Good memory, glad to see another Animorph fan, that series was very rich for a kids novel and the Andalite Chronicles was IMO even better, both series never got their fair dues. :)

On that note, what rank of being would the Ellimist and Crayak be?
Both Crayak and the Ellimist were super powerful but nowhere near Time Lord status, I'd put them at First One status when technological and Demiurge Stage 1 when they merge with Space-time as initially they seem like powerful aligned entities over certain universal functions but don't extent into the multiverse, and once merged they start gaining a modicum of omnipotence but largely are still concerned with mortal and moral affairs.
 

Lurgese Medium Freighter

A gargantuan storm of deep sickly purple clouds cackling with strange energy that seems to distort time roils in the distance, in it’s center a massive and ugly vessel, olive green and rust in color billows the clouds from open ports on it’s sides, it’s bloated and box like, rectangular, and bristling with small weapons and added storage, it’s front has a massive churning circular orange furnace and it’s flanked by small fighter vessels of a different make on it’s sides, mercenaries.

Can also be set defensively as mines which explode once a predetermined target comes within range.

Tachyon Degeneration Radiation Wave: Clouds of terrifying thunderstorm like energy crackles and billows around every Lurgese Ship polluting the space around them and making Lurgese controlled space inaccessible by any being not resistant to this energy. Can Effect nearly all beings, including Aeons. Only certain Dragons, Hyperboreans who have trained to adapt to such conditions and a handful of other beings can easily traverse their space. Deals 10 points of Str, Dex, Con and Cha damage to all beings within 800,000 miles of the Lurgese Ship for each minute it spends within range, the effect is permanent and leaves a constant trail behind them whenever they move out of collapsed space or rails, can be shut off if desired.

Antimatter ‘Planet Cracker’ Missiles: A terrifying weapon of mass destruction, used to strong arm weaker planets and star empires. Can collapse a small red star or destroy any planet including massive gas giants. Each ship of this size has 4 Planet Crackers in it's hold, all can be fired in one round if desired. Seeks Target, deals antimatter damage equal to target’s HD in d100s, explodes in 200,000 mile radius, 5 lightday range, travels at 1/10th the speed of light (10,000 health, hardness 40/--)

Dimensional Cargo (Su): The Lurgese use the Far Place and it's massive expanses of nothing for most of their cargo storage allowing a near unlimited amount of cargo to be stored, additionally they use created demiplanes for more important cargo and leave the ship itself for the most important of cargo. They will usually expel their cargo into the Far Place if their vessel is in eminent threat of being boarded or destroyed where their agents can acquire it at a later date.

Shield (Ex): The Lurgese use cheap shielding for such massive ships and only provide a 100,000 hp barrier that surrounds their craft, damage done to the ship is applied to the shield first. It regenerates 2,000 health per round.

Damage Deflection (Ex): The Lurgese use deflective barriers to reduce secondary damage, gain the evasion ability for both ref and fortitude saves

Inertial Dampeners (Ex): The Lurgese use Inertial Dampeners for vessels far smaller than what they are used on, only stabilizes cargo and allows for average Maneuverability.

Immunity (Ex): Immune to all natural and magical effects, environmental effects and all abilities requiring a will save. Immune to their own Tachyon Radiation. Can be undermined via Abrogate.

Ablative Armor (Ex): The Lurgese use cheap adamantine armor that can be easily repaired over an orichalcum inner structure, they gain 10,000 extra health and damage is applied to this first. This first layer of defense has a hardness of 40/-

Adaption (Ex): Allows for the ship to exist in most forms of natural environment without damage, it also grants it 3 Anyfeat slots, and allows the ship to not be undermined by temporal means as the Slipstream Cosmic ability.

Targeting Matrix (Ex): Attack bonus is equal to HD

Probability Matrix (Ex): By manipulating the fundamental matrices of Fate and Chance, the Lugeese can bend reality to allow for the best possible outcome in any given situation whilst simultaneously allowing for the least favorable outcome for all enemies. This ability mimics the "Inner Eye" Cosmic Ability, and the "Evil Eye" Transcendent Ability and allows the ship to apply it's Wisdom bonus as Insight to AC, Attack, and Initiative.

Starflight (Ex): Can compress space to reach any point in the multiverse in 3d20 days.

Rail Access (Ex): The Lurgese have their own trade routes and have a trade agreement with the Communion allowing them to reach any area of the Multiverse with rail access nearly instantaneously.

Distress Signal (Ex): If a Lurgese vessel is damaged, a distress signal is sent out contacting all beings friendly to the Lurgese and all mercenaries under Lurgese Contract. As such operations are lucrative, help will usually arrive.

Transcendent Construction (Ex): The Lurgese believe in making equipment that lasts and patching it with parts on hand, the internal superstructure of a lurgese vessel has d100’s HD and gain an additional 10 hp per hit dice.

Eclectic Construction (Ex): The Lurgese use a multitude of various parts and weapons from all societies they encounter willing to trade with them. The vessel presented can vary widely based on DM and used any applicable technologies from Progress Level 6 – Progress Level 10 (See D20 Future)

How do you figure out the HD of a planet (for purposes of the antimatter missiles I mean)
Hey Bootlebat,
So the dimensions of an object can be very easily transferred into hp, go to the entry for a Neutronium Golem in the Epic Bestiary page 90, end of the first paragraph about 'Combat', end of that paragraph it states that an earth sized planet has roughly 80,000 health, if a planet has d10s of health then by averaging it you can extrapolate that it has roughly 16,000 HD, and you can divide or multiply based on the size of the world getting pwned.

Would love to see stats for any other ships, technology or beings you created for this campaign. Also do you have more info on the factions you mentioned, such as numbers of people, planets, military strength, things like that.

Indeed, many times I create a framework and a concept that can use later on in a myriad of campaigns. That said, the Terrans, Lumanians, Star Demons, Anyothens which aren't posted here and Spraug have been used extensively, I'll give you some of the specs that been used in previous campaigns but hope you'll make your own stories based on your own interpretation and maybe one day share them on here.
