Nation Name: Vellusian Republic
Ruler: Supreme Chancellor Xeris
Race name: Vellusians
Race appearance: Vulcans Essentially (From Star Trek)
Number of Systems: 1
Government Type: Administrative Republic
Religion(s): None
History: There is not much to be said about the people of Vellus. Their entire history is paved with nothing but discovery and innovation.
Values of your nation: The people of Vellus value knowledge and wisdom as the key factors of how to lead your lives. Everything the population of Vellus does is to promote the knowledge of Vellus as a whole.

National Traits: (1 Bonus)
GETTING HUGE!: Being confined to a single planet, the Vellusians do not hesitate to build everything BIG to accomodate their growing population. If they lack the resources, theres always that nearby moon or planet.
Who Cares About Uzbekistan: Being only a single system, the Vellusians avoid most of the 'bad happenings' of the galaxy.

Population Traits: (5 Bonuses)
Loyalty: The people of Vellus are completely self-sacraficing for Vellus.
Hive: The Vellusians, many years ago, mutually agreed it would be beneficial for the planet as a whole if they shared their knowledge with each other passively. Now their minds are linked via nanites that are implanted upon birth.
Man-Machine Interface: Through the nanite implants in their brains, the Vellusians are able to control anything mechanical simply with a thought.
Eureka!: You find it, we'll fix it. Then, we'll make our own.
Hard Workers: See Loyalty.
Cyberize!: Who enhances every aspect of their physical body and mind with nanotechnology? WE DO! WE DO! And yes, everything.

Military Traits:
Death Spiraller: Instead of building a fleet like most empires, the Vellusians have built and continue to upgrade a single dreadnought. The VDF Prometheus. They named this especially for their love of knowledge, for Prometheus means "forethought".

Technical Traits:
Biowanker: After their exploration into nanotechnology as a way to excel the Vellusian mind, they decided to upgrade other aspects as well, and vice-versa.

Historical Traits:
Diplomatic: The Vellusians enjoy their isolation, a lot. Though if and when they are hailed by another civilization, they would be more than happy to open up diplomatic relations. Though, they would bluntly refuse any call to arms unless it involves the defense of their own solar system.

Hyper-Technology:

Weaknesses:

Military:

Infantry: The Vellusians see no need for infantry. Though there is a full regiment of senatorial guards. They wear ceremonial white robes, and a white helment with a single black stripe going done the middle. They use standard ion weapons to disable any mechanical devices. They also have a projectile-based sidearm. Though this is their only true infantry, the Vellusians use their extensive knowledge of biotechnology and nanotechnology to create self-aware AI based upon the personalities of another person. This is done by extracting a nanite from a Vellusian's mind and implanting its memory core inside that of the AI's core processor. There are, of course, restrictions on the AI. For instance, they must follow any order given to them as long as it does not involve harming another Vellusian. This can be overriden by a direct order from the Supreme Chancellor or Captain Thel of the VDF Prometheus. These AI can be implanted into anything. They are used for technical help aboard the Prometheus, as the captains of vehicles, jet squadrons, or even managing the harvesters getting the crops. They also are used as marines aboard the Prometheus, in the bodies of androids.
