War Among the Stars (Low-sci-fi nation game, OOC)

[Meeky]

Well if your people are hostile, and my people are hostile, and you hate psionics which is something that my people all possess...

Only good things can come of this.


RAINBOWS AND BUTTERFLIES AND UNICORNS FOREVER!

[GrievousKhan]

Well if your people are hostile, and my people are hostile, and you hate psionics which is something that my people all possess...

Well as Meeky said...rain bows..

If your idea o unicorns are heavy armor and your idea of rainbows, beams of destruction ya....I see the 'rainbows'.

Though any run in's are not likely to be within our own systems.

[Vahir]

You know, Raptorman, I've just reread your sheet, and I've noticed that our races are remarkably similar, even more than those glorified jewels. We're both psionic peoples who have a ton of individuals under the complete domination of hive mind entities.

We could make an alliance, the three of us, to ASSIMILATE the galaxy.

[Raptorman]

I do wonder what would happen if our races were to fight, after all we both are races with psionic domination, can we control each other's minions?

Also grievous, what did you have in mind?

We of the Hosteen wage war against each other constantly. Psychic battles between Swarms are like those knife fights in action movies, where both contenders struggle for the same knife, which sometimes gets closer to one, sometimes closer to the other. The moment your concentration is broken, bam, you just got shanked, or, in the case of psychic warfare, you gain some new soldiers/Make some enemies explode in a shower of gore. I imagine there's nothing to stop us from controlling each other's minions if we can win that fight (I mean, we Swarms already dominate small animals like snakes for their eyesight (Kind of hard to aim a railgun with a worm's senses)).

Well perhaps our forces run into one another on a planet that is giving off beacon single that fits known Golden Empire wave lengths and codes. Basically there might be a data library on the planet.

Both our forces discover it and send in a small force to secure it?

Well something along those lines, causing a skirmish to break out as they fight over the data library/archotech.

A possibility if your willing and the GM is OK with it. Squabbling over ruins seems to be the premise of this setting in any case, and less risky then committing and risking actual rare and extremely expensive ships.

Faction Overview

Faction Name: the Mannowarrian Confederation
Faction Core World Name: Mantanorr
Core World Description:

Mantanorr is a very lush planet that is about 1.5x the size of the earth, with wild grasslands and old mountain ranges dominated the planet's land surface. the planet large oceans and scattered inland seas. it is also has a good number of woodland areas and very rich amounts of Mannowarrian Iron. the planet was once very cold thousand years ago thanks to it's last ice age, but has warmed up to a more temperate climate.

- firmness: they are very firm and direct in politics and will go through with an action if they set their mind to it, which makes them very adamant about their beliefs and opinions.

Nation Flaws: -warlike: they have a great love of war, not really in the sense of acquiring resources, but for honor and pride in ones self achievement. they can be very violent with each other and really aggressive against their enemies. they will many times fight to the death, even if it's a losing battle.

-uncompromising : under almost any circumstance, Mannowarrians almost never compromise and will very rarely negotiate about changing their opinions or ideals about something they perceive to be terrible. this makes it hard for them to stop a fight before it starts.

Short History: twenty thousand years ago, they discovered the ability to harness Mannowarrian energy crystals they dug up from the earth for jewelery and decoration, with the energy they started an industrial revolution, which gave birth to the confederation, and five hundred years later they learned how to create synthetic energy crystals without having to dig for them. once they came into contact with the empire, they developed interstellar travel and had other intelligent species brought to their planet from other worlds as slaves or workers for very cheap manual labor. after the empire fell, their knowledge of interstellar travel was almost completely lost, but have in last few years, regained a portion of that knowledge. there are over a thousand clans around the world

Majority Species: Mannowarrians make up 95% of the planets population since most of the other species brought to planet could not survive the aggressive and violent nature of Mannorwarrian culture

Minority Species: humans make up 1% percent of the percent of the population, Kattions make up 2% and Jinnirians make up 3%


Species Description: Mannowarrians are a feline like large bipeds, with retractable claws on their hands and feet. Female Mannowarrians were up to 2.2 meters tall, while adult males ranged up to 3.0 meters. They were covered in gray-white to black fur, often with more colorful spots or stripes. They had extremely dense bone tissue, allowing them to endure greater physical trauma than beings with similar physiques. they have a lifespan of up to 79 human years. Their species most greatest traits is hyper-evolution, which allows them become stronger by pushing themselves to their absolute limits and breaking through them. the Mannowarrians evolved over a million years in the harsh climates of the cold northern regions of Mantanorr. they started off as waring tribes of warrior cultures, and eventually moved away from a hunter-gatherer society to an agriculture society hundreds of thousands of years ago. thirty five thousands ago they discovered the art forging Mannowarrian iron, a very dense alloy far tougher than most metals. from there they built civilizations made up large families known as clans, each city was ruled by a clan leader. after they discovered the energy crystals they unified the clans into a single confederation to make themselves stronger. thousands of years ago they developed a martial art known Bordan-Vo which is form of training to use ones life energy to push themselves to the peak of their physical limits, it also greatly enhances their reaction skills and reflexes. Mannowarrians dress mostly in robes and tunics, the nobles usually wear their decorated armor to show off their nobility. they can be very aggressive and violent and love fighting, believing it to greatly help individual growth and betterment.

humans who number only in a few million were brought to planet as slaves by the empire thousands of years ago, just like the Kattions and the Jinnirians. there use to be more but like with other minority species they have a hard time living among such a warlike race. their culture is rather withdrawn do to their low numbers

Kattions are a little furry bipedal species that like humans are very withdrawn from society and will socialize with a being outside of it own race.

Jinnirians are a humanoid species with pointed ears and are a little less withdrawn from society unlike the humans and Kattions, they have sometimes tried to influence Mannowarrian politics, but with little success and sometimes with violent consequences. like with other minority species, they are unable to reproduce with Mannowarrians, but they can reproduce with humans

* * * * * *

Social Values: Mannowarrian value strength and honor above anything else, and defeat is considered a big disgrace. they are very loyal to their leaders and clans and will fallow them to the death. they begin training to be warriors at a young age, and can appear to be very hard on their children, but they do generally care for their children. their reason for training to be warriors are more for honor and individual betterment.

Government: a Monarchy with a clan leader high council.

Economy: Market socialism

Religion: they worship many war gods, but their supreme god is a creator god who made Monnowarrian Iron and taught them how forge it.

Military: Mannowarrians use their brute force for their military strategy, and use aggressive strikes when using warships and will charge very ferociously at their enemies, though most of their strategy depends on how well their general's orders are. they like put most of their power into a first charge to scatter their enemies and destroy them. they have blasters, but most prefer to use long-swords made from Mannowarrian iron, thanks to Bordan Vo, their great reflexes allow them to deflect blaster fire with their blades, but mostly the average warrior can hold up against one opponent's blaster fire, it takes a great amount of training and mastery of the martial art to face off against multiple blaster wielding opponents. they do not fear death and love the thrill of battle. the most skilled warriors are the Clawed Crusaders which are said to fight almost like war gods.

Ideology: they value strength because they believe hat by fighting strong enemies and being pushed to their limits, they will grow stronger. they equally hold honor and Loyalty in just as high regard, believing that united they are the greatest warriors in the galaxy, but they still hold a strong sense of the individual and reputation.

Damn, this thread grows fast. Glad I picked an isolated nation, so I won't have to keep up with you people. :P
