Well my nation is went through massive political reforms about territory expansion and the former government was all about expanding. You have your former client right jere.

For story purposes, would anyone want to be a former client nation of the Imperium? A nation that the Imperium would be inclined to support or have a positive opinion about when they resurface. A race without plans for massive expansion would fit well.

I wouldn't mind being a supportive nation / ally of the Imperium, as our two nations are somewhat similar, and seeing as mine is more of a coalition/commonwealth sort of nation, it could be a combination of former Imperialist states working under a separate government now, seeing frequent trade and sharing with the Imperium.

Kind of imagine it like Canada + Australia bonding together as one country working alongside England and the United Kingdom, I guess?

Any nation want history with the Underworld beforehand?

Failed attack , most wanted criminal on their , etc etc

I'm willing to be a well know business partner with them, and if anyone is interested in being a financial partner or maybe even an ally we have invested in let me know!

During the height of the Allorisian Empire, it was known to be a brutal, imperialistic and warmongering inter-planetary power that would absorb several other civilizations into its fold.When they found other complex civilizations of intelligent lifeforms across the galaxy, they would even given an ultimatum. Either stand down and become part of the Allorisian Empire or be annihilated.

Well the Allorisian Empire's history states them being an inter-planetary power that had expansionist goals. I don't think they would have settled as a client nation of a race that doesn't share the same ideology of the Allorisian. :S

I guess that could work, the Imperium wasn't an isolationist nation before and promoted the advancement of other states, it's possible that contact was lost when the Harlaci government decided to isolate themselves from the rest of the galaxy.

Also, would there be a galactic council of sorts in the RP? Like the ones in Mass Effect where each race/nation are represented for political matters.

I think the Korwrath Conferderacy would be a nation that could've been invested in since they mainly live in fleets and would've needed finances in order to help colonize planets.

Alright, how exactly would you like us to invest into your nation i.e. resources, special trade agreements, or simply monetary aid.

Your nation would be investing in the colonies of the Confederacy paying off big and flourishing. They would require specialized equipment to assist in their colonization of hostile planets that are not completely friendly to their species.

England AND the UK? No, no, no. England is part of the UK, much to our despair, until the Scottish independence referendum. Then, hopefully, they go free, Wales holds their referendum and goes free (they said they'd hold one if the Scots said "Aye") and Ireland unites with the rest of us, free of the oppression of London. Hell, we could move the border to Hadrian's Wall and claim Newcastle into the new Empire. Restart the British empire without the Londoners.

Is it obvious I'm not a fan of Westminster government? And for the Brits - Is it obvious I don't like Tories?

Where in the UK are you from?

My mother's Irish, my dad's Welsh, I was born in Norway and I was brought up in Lowland Scotland. I guess that makes me Scottish.

Ah, Englishman here from Lancashire.

I like England. Or at least, I like your end of it. But I can't stand the stupidity and pomp of the south-east. Especially that god-awful city London. Mr Cameron and Mr Clegg don't exactly help.
I bet if the North Sea oil fields were south of the border, England would have cut Scotland loose years ago. And I'm sick of voting one party, then having someone completely different in Westminster making all the wrong decisions, which leaves the national parliments to handle the fallout. But then again, polititians are all so crooked and evasive, I don't knnow if we would be better off governing ourselves.
All I want is a politician who talks clear and concise. No using big words to dodge questions or big arguments about nothing. Just a guy who you can get a straight, simple answer from. And the only people who seem to do that are the Greens, who want independence.
Sorry. Any Americans or Aussies looking at this must think "What the hell is he talking about?". I didn't mean to rant.

(Sorry I'm late to the party. Work has had me quite busy this past week) (I'll likely edit this post some more if I get to write some more info about the ships this weekend)

The Ka

The Ka is one, the Ka are many but all work towards the common goal: survival.
The Ka are a synthetic race that roam the galaxy in search of resources to fuel their ever expanding collective. Unlike other species, Ka do not have any sense of individuality or even a concept of death. Ka are essentially billions upon billions of computer programs, all working together as one. Their ships, resource gatherers and soldiers are all mobile platforms within which these programs operate.
As a consequence of this, the Ka have no leaders or single decision makers. This means that any political decision that needs to be made is done by running the problem through the Ka’s programs in order to collectively achieve results. This often leads to responses and actions that most organics do not understand, then again the Ka do not understand the chaos of most organics either.
While the processing power of the Ka collective mind is almost unfathomable, they are sadly extremely uncreative. All their ships, stations and other designs have been based off of others. Sometimes different designs are combined or improved upon after new data has been gathered but the Ka have never created even a single original design themselves.

Aside from one single permanently occupied system known as ‘the shrine’, the Ka are a mobile civilisation. Their so called ‘collectors’ travel around the galaxy in search of resources to further the expansion of the entire collective. This can be minerals to build new ships but also new technologies they can use. To this end, no holds are barred. Advanced organic civilisations, great or small are all targets to mine for resources and like everything else, to be discarded when depleted. They only make exceptions for pre space age civilisations, having learned that such creatures are better left undisturbed and uninformed until they can come up with enough ideas to steal. Strangely enough, the ‘mining’ of organics’ ideas does not necessarily involve a straight up war. More powerful civilisations especially will often see the Ka discretely purchasing ideas from the black market or hijacking isolated ships and kidnapping scientists before any ‘military’ hostilities re engaged.

Being very reliant on mobility, their ships are the Ka’s greatest resource. They have the single largest fleet in the known galaxy though most ships, while still armed and armoured, are not dedicated combat vessels. They are mining vessels who strip asteroids of their valuable minerals, refinery ships who create useful materials from said minerals, transports to bring goods to and from the various Ka ships and manufactory vessels that can vary in size from a small drone assembler to a massive multi kilometre long mobile shipyard.

The history of the Ka is long but sadly, not much is remembered. They were created at one point in time, likely many centuries or even millennia ago by an unknown and long since vanished creator. The Ka do commemorate their creator by having a world spanning shrine in his, her, or their honour. This shrine can be considered the Ka’s homeworld and is likely the site of their creation. The planet itself is mostly covered by immense projects of Ka made artificial landscapes to mimic the world as it once was in the times of the creator. In order to maintain these artificial ecosystems, the Ka have built thousands of monitoring and maintenance stations on the planet as well as in orbit.

Damn. I completely forgot about my empire.

Yay i'm now back from vacation and can start on my nation sheet :D

I don't think I can finish my ns before the deadline. :(
I have to hustle.

I know I can't I will be gone all day tomorrow. :( If I just had one more day, been so busy lately.

Just got back from a busy week, the GM isn't around for a week also, I guess we'll still have time to work on our NS until he comes back. :P

Hopefully so.
