Darkmatter has stated that the cutoff date is the 24th. If you do decide to join, don't forget to read the NS's already up so you can bring something new to the RP.

Yeah this RP made me wanna return to the whole RP thing again since this RP has many species in a big galaxy with lots of people in play. Good combination since when you want a big space RP in a galactic environment you'll want lots of people and this RP seems to have that.

While I have not really bothered working on my app yet [late, brainstorming phase], here's a few notes on what they are niche-wise:

-The civilization is called the Harmony Network
-There are three alien species of around equal status to each other due to what can be referred at as a "collective marriage" of entire species to the Union. Other alien races in the network lack this status due to never carrying out a collective marriage with the Harmony Network.
-Each of the three main races have a different dominant sense; one is sound based, another is taste based and a the third is very touchy.
-Their union works in a loose, decentralized fashion with the main unification of their society being the common flow of information and ideological commitment to harmonious action. The "leaders" of their union being a think tank made up of individuals chosen in secret by the ever secretive custodians who only hold the power to elect and dismiss officials yet don't have actual political sway.
-The Harmony Network is a multi-cultural civilization, despite the three main species there is a large minority of aliens from various parts of the galaxy that have joined the union, as well there's various natives who live under protectorates of the Harmonious Network.
-They're a major regional power, having spread across quite a few star systems and there being historical contact with various species [although of what nature I am yet to be sure of].

I am not making the app currently as I have lots of reading to do on the races that are in play already, as well I somewhat am curious who else inhabits the Northern parts of the galaxy.

Well, looking through the apps it seems that the 180 degree area is pretty crowded, but at the same time I don't wanna be in a isolated area of the milky way. Maybe I could be in the north western parts of the milky way since I know a few civs are there.

Tech wise, I kind of want to go for loads of fancy gadgets and information based tech meaning they'd likely be great hackers. They also would have significant industrial power and lots of drones, but the quality of their technology is dubious at best and innovation wise they are reliant on taking technology of other species and integrating it; but they have independently developed a FTL system of their own and make regular use of fusion batteries.

I will explain their moral concept of harmony in the app sheet.

Weren't you the one that would keep telling me not to start an IC war because of OOC?

There are these things called jokes

So far it seems Newsun's species inhabits a similar area to where I wanna place the Harmonious Union.

The culture shock for Newsun's species of beings who are rigidly homogenous needless to say will likely be a spectacle to watch from afar.

AB!

Moose!

Glad to see you here! Been a while since a good old galactic space RP was around and i thought you might surface.

Yeah i've been a absentee as of recent. I promise to stick around more this time. And I see you decided to be a bug race this time around. Always fun to be a pseudo hivemind!

And as for galactic space RPs, all i'll say is that as long as one does not think about the actual scale of the milky way galaxy everything will be okay.

Im waiting for you to a updated review Darkmatter before I go ahead and finish my sheet.

That is no longer a thing. If you have a revised nation sheet just PM it to me.

: Emperor Castor Haraven: Empire - an extensive group of systems or regions under a single supreme authority, formerly especially an emperor or empress.: :: - An almost human-like species with pale complexion and tall figure.: Harlacian, Harlaci, Harlac, Harlacon, White Suits.A land based species that ruled over the lands of Tyr'grande during it's dark ages, until they were technologically uplifted by the Hannost. When they were found by the Hannost, their entire body structure was almost same with the human anatomy, except for their naturally tall heights and protruding bone appendages. When the Hannost offered enlightenment, they accepted the offer and complied with their teachings of advancement. They underwent several biological changes during the period of their learning, some beneficial, while some were side-effects. They can age up to 300 years, due to the improvements the Hannost applied to their bodies in their younger stages.Their bodies suffered as they progressed even with the gene supplement they were given, resulting to catastrophic changes in their body structure. Their skin turned pale, mutations turned their eyes to glow blue or make them mute, with majority developing a weak immune system. The effects were irreversible, but they knew they had to pay a price, one way or another. Seeing that their teachings brought suffering to the Harlacs, the Hannost developed power-suits that were capable enhancing the immune system and overall strength of the Harlacs.The Harlaci, through the years, developed a strong sense of social servitude and discipline. They also have a strong sense of brotherhood and oaths, making the Harlaci Imperium a nation with loyalty as its main foundation. They are known for their unmatched skill with range weaponry, a natural gift that improved through the years from slingshots and rifles.: - A sentient aquatic race living on the deep oceans of the planet Tyr'grande. They are responsible for uplifting the Harlacs.: Hannost, Hannoth, Hannosti, The Mentors.Originally from another galaxy, this species found home on the deep oceans of Tyr'grande, and paved way for the advancement of the Harlacs. They are tall, green skinned creatures that has four eyes, and mentally gifted minds.They have a unique regenerative body that could make them heal non-fatal injuries and age almost indefintely.The Hannost's biological capabilities allows them to end their lives at will. A common Hannost practice was to pass away once they reach 500 years of age, 1,000 for Hannosti that are occupying an important position in the society.They are highly intellectual, humble and are mostly calm, but only sociable towards the Harlac people. The Hannost are the ones who were given the task of enriching the society, making most of the scholars, scientists, and traders in the Harlaci Imperium coming from their species. The Hannost population mostly reside under the underwater depths of Imperium controlled planets, with the exceptions of Hannost officials and businessmen in the Harlac society. After the founding of the Harlaci Imperium, almost every Hannost records and data was lost, ridding any trace of Hannost plans and history for the Imperium's use. They are very secretive when it comes to the history of their race, that only the line of Emperors and Hannost Elders are knowledgeable of it. Several technologies have been passed on to the Harlaci, though most of it are just a fraction of the technology the Hannost were keeping.:::: , an earth like planet, with the exception of an abundance of mountain ranges and fewer but deeper oceans. Its planetary size can be compared to the planet "Jupiter" in the Solar System. The planet revolves around the yellow star named "Mor" and is orbited by three moons called Myloth, Troz, and Licion. The planet also has an asteroid ring called Hymtos, a former moon of the planet. Tyr'grande boasts lush green fields, sky reaching cities, and a rare mineral called Melpharite.

I'll read this once I'm done commenting and what not, and PM you an answer.

Hmmm I'm Subbing this, Is this open for joining I see you haven't started the RP just yet

Yes it is still open but I set a nominal submission date of the 24th (Sunday).

SO, I won't be able to update tonight the NS for my Nation, but I will get it done tomorrow, if you are ok with waiting on me Dark :S. I just need a day not to worry about stuff, you know?

Also waiting on the player who wrote up the NS for the Crayvens to work out some back story with. That's a problem too.

Welcome there

I like the concept, but maybe avoid the word 'union' to avoid confusion with another nation.
I hope you do opt to join; the more the merrier.

No worries
I've blanked, which player are you referring to?

@Darkmatter
I actually didn't realize you had posted replies on your review XD How that missed me, I had no idea. Several things:
First, thank you. I am going to make them much more alien looking and interesting than alpha humans, but the concept is still the same.
Second, the Govrans were going to be scrapped, but I might keep that (Less work for me, and I honestly can't find a reason why the Teu would go to war with the Crayvens. They don't really do anything, just keep to themselves, they're not a threat or anything).
Third, Yes, the Keep spanned an entire solar system. At one point, the Teu were that advanced that they could have surmounted many of the problems that would come with such a super structure. But then they were wiped out, and lost nearly everything.
Finally... Psionics. Mostly, it is largely the nanites that do all the work (they can act as miniature radio transmitters in the brain to send messages, they basically lift up stuff a Teu wants to use, etc.). But I may have to alter Teu powers. But basically, the nanites and the Teu brain are so interwoven into each other, that using them is akin to lifting an arm or speaking a word for the human brain. They are an ectension of their body.

I'll update the sheet tomorrow, and send you the final copy.

Perfect

Currently i've chosen to use the word "Network" as opposed to union.

I'm debating with myself on where I should be since the Northern 180˚ galaxy sounds pretty cluttered as is and I kinda wanna come toe-toe with civilizations like the Graal and those ancient aliens, but at the same time I feel a need to be in a area where a extremely multi cultural society would prosper better.

I am aware of a post made around page six that details where all the civilizations are, but by page 17 I know more people joined since than. Any place to know where everyone is at position wise?

-this post has been stolen by the CIA. Please try again later-

Don't worry over it too much. The joys of FTL mean we can still have contact with pretty much anyone, it just might take a little more time.

So that means I can have a story arc where a punitive graal invasion that may or may not be the result of something by faction did and to fight them off a group of investors within the HN wanting to increase the harmony decide to try getting one of newsun's giant squid people of the warlord variety involved?

And totally doesn't involve any secret ploys at the same time to get their leathery hands on the squid suit.

None. Absolutely none.
