Second American civil war (armament) use since 2143 - present.
Autonomous knightmare frame (1° gen)
The first generation of working mechs came at the hands of a group of scientist lead by James Pissani, who was the creator of the knightmare, with a mini nuclear reactor as his engine, this mech can go to velocities up to 140 km/h. The 1° gen didn't have that anything that was consider "a melee weapon", they just have an assault rifle that shoots special ammunition and a recoilless rifle, later generation being better than the last gen.

Actual gen° of knightmare frame:
Gen° 5 Sutherland type.
EMP grenades
Created by military scientist Robert Sanchez these grenades were design to destroy light vehicles, but later on were redesign to fried electronical systems from planes and helicopters (that haven't take of) the redesign was made, because of the missions that spec ops teams did behind enemy line, which were used to destroy communications systems, helicopters, self-propelled artillery, anti-aircraft and armories (this one because sometimes they would find electronic weaponry, like javelins, stingers, different types of sights, etc.)

Railgun weaponry (1° gen)
The first railgun ever produced, this model was intended to be use for naval ships, but with the war mainly been in ground and air combat, for 4 years, the construction and testing of 2 new models of railgun, 1 for ground combat and another version for a special project of the navy, which was led by admiral Cutter
The ground type railgun:
This weapon was built in a heavy modified chassis of the striker, which was modifies to be much longer than the original striker chassis, more armored, with 8 stabilizers (2 in the back and 3 in each side) a turret that can only rotated 25° (right and left and this was at the time), which was name Anti-Tank Railgun Vehicle (ATRV).
Specification:
Length: 10m
Width: 3.80m
Height: 3.50m
Armor:
Front: 50mm
Sides: 30mm to 40mm
Roof: 20mm to 30mm
Armament:
1 railgun cannon (HEAT, HESH and APDS rounds) effective: heavy tanks (main battle tanks)
2 anti-personal machine guns, an M2 machine gun 50. Cal (for ground troops) and an automated M134 minigun (ground troops and as an anti-missile)
Sensor:
With the new experimental and tested, Ground Tracking Anti-Missile Radar (GTAMR) that works with the M134 minigun to destroy any kind of missile (guided and non-guided) to which have a effective range of 200m to 300m, and it was protected with by armor that couldn't be breach by small fire arms fire, except heavy weaponry ( machine guns and rifles, missiles, etc.)
Engine:
First Nuclear Ground Vehicle Engine (1NGVE), which give the enough energy to the vehicle, to which give the vehicle a top velocity of 50 km/h
Crew:
Up to 10 (1 driver. 1 co-driver, 3 engineers, 2 loaders, 1 gunner and 3 guards)
Present modifications:
Turret can turn to 90° (left and right), mark 6 NGVE, max speed of 80 km/p, 2 M245 railgun minigun anti-missile defense and anti-personal, kinetic shield mark 5
The naval heavy type railgun:
This gun was commission by admiral Cutter, to which at the time the scientist and engineers didn't know why build such a thing, that even when they ask the only that the to them was "that is classified) and because they didn't much option because he was a higher up.
Later on, he asks them to be built in a double turret, this confuse more the scientist, but some of them started to understand what the navy was building, and it was confirmed in 2143 when they arrive to install the railgun in the new generations of battleships
Battleship class ("new") Montana:
Lead by admiral Cutter, who after seeing the potential of the railgun in a good defended position, decided to reactivate the battleship class for the navy, with the construction of a new class.
Inspired by the Montana class with a few additions and with the possibility of modifications, which are the following:
Specification:

Atmospheric air ships class (AAS class):
This was the first and working AAS class ships before spaceships could enter to the atmosphere and there were a few classes made before the spaceships could enter before taking heavy damage, these class of ship were made for anti-air defense and troop support, with no main-gun installed in the ship, this were armed with a rail of secondary railgun cannons, missiles and anti-air emplacements.
But this class of ships has a special mode in them, they can work in the deep sea, thanks to aquatic Grimm, these ships were modernizing to work at a deep of 1-2 km/s, to which has work in the outer states to be protected of any aquatic Grimm (7 islands with 10-12 ships)
Now of days this class ships and other types, are still in use and still being made, but their production has been stop, but just this classes had been modernize to work in space, to which is had been calculated that 20-30% of them work with the fleets in space, with the 80-70% of the fleet are modernize naval assets and not spaceships, these ships are mostly used as defense to inner and outer states (inner: united states, outer: islands that had been colonize before the colonization on the planet was stop), with the rest in space.
Class/es of ships:
Corvette class, frigate class and destroyer class
Length (left to right):
200m, 250m and 275m
Armament (left to right):
6-8-10 light railgun cannons, 15-18-20 CWIS mark 8 railgun anti-air defense system and 8 missile tube (with 40 missiles each) with swarm missiles mk2, anti-fighter missiles, Helios swarm incendiary missiles and sub-sonic torpedo's

Max speed of Mach 3, cruising range of Mach 1
f-54 hornet jet-fighter:
Created by Lockheed martin, this jet fighter was introduced in 2849, that replaced the outdated f-41 phantom III that were launch back in 2700's. This fighter was and still is state of the arc technology with the capability of working both in atmosphere and space conditions, maneuverability, agility, it has won the name of the "best fighter-jet".
This fighter-jet is still being made with a total 4369 f-54 made, with at least, with between an 60-63% of them in all the states, and the 40-37% of the rest works with the space fleet.

4 LAU-247 launchers of beyond-visual-range
Speed and cruising speed:
Max speed: Mach 4
Cruising speed: Mach 1
Modernization of ground level naval assets:
The modernization of the naval assets was just a concept that politics didn't want implement, because of the cost, but when the space age arrive and the possibility of grimm attacks in the outer states, the council and the president approve the modernization of the fleet.
Thanks to the invention of magnet docking anchors in the space stations and anti-gravity propulsion jets, to which with one set can hold around 18-20 tons in the atmosphere and depending of the type of the ships, more can be install, and with just one incident, where 1 of the magnet sections of one of the shipyards, destroying one destroyer in this first modernization, but there hasn't been any incident of that proportion since then.
1° modernization:
Destroyers and frigates: Were installed with a mark 4 nuclear engine, speed reaching up to 40 knots (74 km/p or 46 mph), armament modernize with railguns and new types of missiles and more armor, new sensor and radar array.
Battleships and aircraft carriers: were installed with a 2 mark 7 nuclear engine, speed reaching up to 47 knots (87 km/p or 54 mph), armament modernize with the replacement of the outer machine guns (M2 machine guns) with the mark 1 automated M167 miniguns, new sensor and radar array, new 5 inch guns and 4 railgun (destroyer type, 2 in each side), 4 new railgun anti-jet batteries, new missiles and 2 new mark 4 18-inch guns and the installation of the mark 1 turbine engines for the possibility to hover and to change altitude, and 16 (separated in 2 groups of 8) after propulsion jets for forward acceleration.
2° modernization (actual modernization):
Corvettes, destroyers and frigates: were installed with a mark 9 nuclear engine, speed reaching up to 52 knots (96 km/p or 60 mph), mark 9 light railgun cannons, mark 8 CWIS railgun anti-air defenses, new missiles, new sensor and radar array and 2 knightmare submergible type (that protects them of grimm at close range)
Supply ships: these ships were modernized from the ground up for the propose of resupplying the ships in the atmosphere and in the space fleet, the new armament of this ship mark 7 CWIS railgun anti-air defenses, anti-air missiles, anti-ship missiles, 4 gunships VH-78 Viper and 6 knightmare submergible type. For propulsion it has a mark 10 nuclear engine, 4 bottom propellers, 5 afterburners that makes the ship go to a velocity of Mach 3 and a main propeller and with a atmospheric speed of 55 knots (102 km/p or 63mph).
Battleships and aircraft carrier: were installed with the tested mark 1 fusion reactor, speed reaching up to 58 knots (107 km/p or 67mph). Armament of 2 mark 8 medium railguns cannons (double turrets), 2 mark 7 18-inch guns, a new sensor and radar array, new mark 10 CWIS railgun, anti-air missiles, anti-ship missiles. With the new mark 1 propeller engines with the possibility to hover at any altitude, 16 (separated in 2 groups of 8) after propulsion jets for forward acceleration.
Author notes
Hello, everybody I hope that you have a good day.
Well as you can see in this codex, I'm going to explain everything that isn't going to be in the main story. The extend of this is going to be: armament, history of the country, species (faunus and AI, in this case), sometime characters, etc.
So, I hope that it will take your interest.
See you around, everybody.
