Joshua
Joshua is one of the primary military worlds of the Angel Swords and serves as the faction’s largest defensive stronghold outside of Genesis. Built almost entirely around planetary defense, fleet deployment, and military readiness, Joshua exists to protect the surrounding Angel Sword colonies from external threats.
The planet is also known as the homeworld of:
making it one of the most strategically and historically important worlds within Angel Sword territory.
Military Role
Joshua functions as a massive defensive fortress world responsible for:
- protecting nearby colonies
- monitoring regional space routes
- coordinating defensive fleet movements
- housing rapid-response military forces
- supporting large-scale planetary defense systems
Roughly one sixth of the planet’s entire surface is covered by military infrastructure.
These include:
- fortified defense sectors
- planetary artillery systems
- fleet docking stations
- armored fortresses
- training grounds
- weapons depots
- orbital defense control centers
- interceptor launch facilities
Joshua is considered second only to Genesis in overall militarization.
Environment
Despite its military role, Joshua retains large natural regions beyond the heavily fortified sectors.
The planet contains:
- mountain ranges
- dense forests
- rocky plains
- fortified valleys
- massive defensive walls
- elevated military citadels
Many installations are built directly into mountainsides or beneath the surface to increase defensive capability.
The skies above Joshua are rarely empty, with constant:
- patrol craft
- orbital defense fleets
- military transports
- interceptor squadrons
operating around the planet at all times.
Defense Systems
Joshua possesses some of the most advanced defensive infrastructure within Angel Sword territory.
The planet is protected by:
- orbital weapons platforms
- anti-ship artillery
- planetary defense cannons
- shield systems
- automated defense networks
- heavily armed orbital fleets
The world was specifically designed to withstand prolonged siege or invasion attempts.
Culture
Unlike the more peaceful civilian world of Exodus, Joshua is deeply shaped by military discipline and defensive philosophy.
Many citizens are connected directly to:
- military operations
- defense logistics
- fleet support
- weapons engineering
- planetary security
The population views Joshua not as a symbol of conquest—
But as a shield protecting the Angel Sword colonies from another catastrophe like Judgment Day.
Reputation
Across the galaxy, Joshua is known as:
- one of the strongest defensive worlds controlled by the Angel Swords
- the military shield of Angel Sword territory
- a heavily fortified fortress planet
- the homeworld of Kosander and Kosis
Many strategists believe that invading Joshua directly would result in catastrophic losses.
