However, hope arose as the long hidden remnants of the NAU Military had emerged from the shadows, were on the warpath. (WIP)/// [/quote] I'd like to see more info, the picture gallery of military personnel and vehicles fails to explain the concept of the faction to me and it seems that for the past couple weeks it's almost entirely what you've worked on. Sure they like war and are likely militaristic due to their origins, but I know nothing of their society like why they're a elective monarchy or how their culture has developed. I am aware you app is a work in progress, but you need to progress your app in other areas outside of military before I can do any early acceptance. [quote=Darkspleen] ///////Subject: Faction/////Government: Stratocracy////History:///Culture: The fleet boasts a culture that had a diverse origin; while always a “navy” culture, the various original members of the fleet brought with them their cultures from the various countries that made up the NAU, although Americans and Brazilians made up the bulk of the fleet’s personnel. Over the centuries these cultures blended together into what could be considered a homogenous blob. Honor, loyalty, science, efficiency, hard work, and equal opportunity are all core values of the fleet. Honor and loyalty are especially important to members of the fleet; in the past ‘honor duels’ had to be outlawed due to the alarming number of fatal injuries they had caused.//Military:/Technology:Other: [/quote] Everything is in check; while technology has no information the culture and military sections explain well enough what their tech is like and I am aware of the .1c propulsion which for your guys is fine due to their unique circumstances. The only area that i'd like to see filled out more is their history section, however I know the basics of it through chatzy enough. However you probably should fill out the history section so other players know that some people from their fleet deserted while they were at Eridani around 2310 or so. Accepted. [quote=Rare] Well, if I can join, I call from the '[Desert world]'!//////Name: Setekh./////Subject: Planet.////Location: Epsilon Eridani.///Geography: The planet has some craters, that are as large as 60 km and smaller than 10 km. Since Setekh has no oceans and hence no 'sea level', it is convenient to define an arbitrary zero-elevation level or "datum" for mapping the surface. The datum for Setekh is arbitrarily defined in terms of a constant atmospheric pressure. There is 610.5 Pa (6.105 mbar), on the basis that below this pressure liquid water can never be stable (i.e., the triple point of water is at this pressure). This value is only 0.6% of the pressure at sea level, which forms the zero elevation datum for our planet. Note that the choice of this value does not mean that liquid water does exist below this elevation, just that it could were the temperature to exceed 273.16 K.There is a dichotomy between the northern and southern hemispheres. Most of the northern hemisphere is flat, with few impact craters, and lies below the conventional ‘zero elevation’ level. In contrast, the southern hemisphere is mountains and highlands, mostly well above zero elevation. The two hemispheres differ in elevation by 1 to 3 km. One distinctive feature is the fretted terrain. It contains mesas, knobs, and flat-floored valleys having walls about a mile high. Around many of the mesas and knobs are lobate debris aprons that have been shown to be rock-covered glaciers. There is also large river valleys and outflow channels that cut through the dichotomy.The river valleys and outflow channels are empty of course, but this could lead that Setekh once had water. The idea of how Setekh got to the wasteland of where it's today is that, a large comet hit on the side of the planet, which caused it to move by a couple of feet. Which caused the planet to go dry faster and after the planet was empty of water, the sand began to form. //Atmosphere: The atmosphere of Setekh has around 96% carbon dioxide, 1.93% argon and 1.89% nitrogen along with traces of oxygen and water. The atmosphere is quite dusty, containing particulates about 1.5 µm in diameter which give the skies the light tan color when seen from the surface. The scale height of the atmosphere is about 10.8 km (6.7 mi) because the surface gravity of Setekh is only about 38%, an effect offset by both the lower temperature and 50% higher average molecular weight of the atmosphere. The solar wind interacts directly with the ionosphere, lowering the atmospheric density by stripping away atoms from the outer layer.Methane has been detected in the atmosphere of Setekh with a mole fraction of about 30 ppb; it occurs in extended plumes, and the profiles imply that the methane was released from discrete regions. In northern midsummer, the principal plume contained 19,000 metric tons of methane, with an estimated source strength of 0.6 kilogram per second. Volcanic activity, cometary impacts, and the Aasiths are among possible sources. Methane could also be produced by a non-biological process called serpentinization involving water, carbon dioxide, and the mineral olivine, which is known to be common on Setekh. It could come from a byproduct of electrical discharges from dust devils and dust storms or the result of UV radiation. Setekh also has a metal-poor core, generating a weak magnetic field and allowing more solar radiation into the atmosphere. /Fauna: [only if the world is valid for alien life]Other://////Name: Aasiths./////Subject: Intelligent Species.////Location: On the desert planet of Setekhin the Epsilon Eridani.///Physiology/Biology: Due to Setekh having a metal-poor core, generating a weak magnetic field and allowing more solar radiation into the atmosphere. To deal with this, they evolved some form of metallic "exoskeleton" to protect themselves. Their reflective plate-like skin makes them less susceptible to long-term, low-level radiation exposure, but they do not possess any sort of "natural armor". Their blood has a dark blue colouration because of that. It was differcult from the Aasiths to devolpe a nose or the ability to smell, so their eye sight got better. The lower class (the poor and homeless) had to lived in the surface because of that, their eye sights are better than the Aasiths living underground.//Psychology: /Technological limitsOther: [/quote] Too WIP to accept for now; however the properties of the planet you have will be official. The desert world is now named Setekh! [quote=NewSun] I'm just going to drop this (at the moment) very basic framework of the sheets I intend to complete over the next few days. Very WIp right now, but its just so I can see my progress as I update it://///Name: Hell////Subject: Planet///Location: Alpha Centurai//Geography: The closest planet to Alpha Centauri, at a temperature of 1200 degrees celsius and an orbital period of four days. Despite being only slightly larger than earth, the planet is completely hostile to human life. The planet’s atmosphere is being constantly flayed by the star it orbits, there is no solid surface other than lava and the radiation levels are extreme. However, the cold side of the tidally locked planet is the perfect temperature for the formation and support of an ingenious rock superstructure that spans for tens of miles in every direction; even tens of metres below the surface lava layer of the planet. This strange structure, colloquially known as ‘Limbo,' is said to be home to the elusive and fearsome ‘Berith's Hellions’ rebel group, granting them shelter within it’s massive span of caves that provide vital protection from the inhospitable elements above. /////Name: Elysium////Subject: Planet///Location: Alpha Centurai//Geography: Elysium is Alpha Centurai's Water World. The entire surface is covered an a single super-ocean that reaches a maximum depth of 236km, far exceeding the depth of the oceans of Earth. There is very little solid ground to speak of, any that exists are simply the result of mantle anomalies that cause jagged and jutting icebergs to protrude from the water surface, from the exotic ice mantle itself. These icebergs can reach many hundreds of metres above the surface, but are too steep, small, and rough for any Human habitation. /Fauna: Elysium is number to a multitude of bizarre and unusual creatures. The majority of these are ocean-dwelling organisms, though some airborne creatures exist, using Elysium's jutting ice structures as nesting grounds and places of respite. Some of these strange animals include: or 'Sheet-Feeders' are small, nearly microscopic creatures that have spheroid bodies and a ring of nine, short tendrils circling their bodies. They have, strangely, two mouth-like cavities lined with a set of hundreds of tiny grasping mandibles. These mouths can be found on either side of the tendril line that crosses the Sheet-Feeder body. These creatures display an unusual behaviour when large quantities come together: they align themselves and grasp on to the tendrils of their neighbours with their own; this happens in massive numbers, the result being a huge sheet of tiny creatures that filter the water for particles of nutrients. /Atmosphere: Largely CO2, O and H20 Vapour. Trace amounts of other gasses. Other:///////Name: HEAVEN (Holy Ecclesiarchy And Venerable Elysian Nobility)//////Subject: Faction/////Location: Elysium////Government: Ecclesiarchal Dictatorship///History: The nation of HEAVEN is a relatively new establishment, though the current leadership caste often insists that HEAVEN is eternal, and has always been. The original voyage to Alpha Centurai saw the foundation of a very different nation upon Elysium, one that was constructed entirely upon floating, domed cities that drifted on the currents of the planet; the name of this precursor nation has since been eradicated (or lost, as the nobility caste of HEAVEN will convince you). It is generally accepted that the original colonies of Elysium were led by a man named Harlan Egris, a designated colony leader and an integral part of the NAU's extrasolar colonisation committee. The colonies were run through a mostly democratic system (with an advisory council for good measure) with a huge focus on education and research; and excelled in their designation for a time. The Solar War, however, radically changed the fate of Elysium: when contact with Sol was lost, one of the upper advisory council families began to accuse Egris of being an abomination and a spiritual threat to the people of Elysium. At first, the wild accusations were given little credit, but as they persisted, they gained popularity and credibility within the colonies of Elysium. The rumours concluded with a short but violent coup de'tat. Egris was executed, as was his advisory council on charges of Heresy and Crimes Ggainst God, and the Elohim family took full control of Elysium and it's colonies with the full support of it's populace. They established themselves quickly as eternal rulers of the planet, declared themselves Gods among mortals and founded the extant nation of HEAVEN in place of the colonies. //Culture: How an individual is treated and how he acts in HEAVEN is entirely dictated by their place in the hierarchy: the majority of the civilians fall into the lowest class, and they are widely regarded by other nations within Alpha Centurai and Sol as an oppressed populace, though they are often blissfully unaware of it themselves. They are convinced that they must work tirelessly for their masters in order to gain access to an arbitrary 'Promised Land' upon death. HEAVEN is presented as a utopian society, supposedly with no crime and with art in abundance; the sad reality is that all criminals are brutally executed without trial and Elysium 'art' is mostly imported from other cultures secretly, giving the oppressed populace the illusion of freedom.The upper caste of HEAVEN, however, lead far different lives. They engage in hedonism copiously, and you can often ring them atop their personal silver spires in the cities, hosting orgies and drinking themselves to blackout on the finest wines, taking part in frighteningly sadistic activities and ritual killings. Their self-indulgence knows nearly no limits; they never have to work as all of their needs are met by the lower caste who work themselves to death for no pay, simply because they are misguided by those who claim to guide them. While the Elysium colonies before the onset of HEAVEN were domed, the new leadership has seen a few drastic changes to this paradigm. The domes have since been removed, and the populace have been forcibly (often at great pain and expense) modified to be capable of filtering oxygen through the thick, steamy atmosphere. The city of Eden has also been recently constructed, serving as the pride and joy of the Elohim family. /Technology: Teachnology of Elysium has always had it's roots in art and aesthetic. It is less functional, but more designed to impress and convert. military technology focuses on intricate armours and ostentatious laser weaponry. These assets do little in practice, but HEAVEN knows that to win a battle, the enemy simply needs to believe that you are capable of more than you are. Other://///Name: Berith’s Hellions////Subject: Organization///Location: Hell//History: The Hellions are a shady, dangerous, and outright frightening group of rebels and defectors from the society of HEAVEN. Most have roots in the lower caste, but a select few broke away from the upper caste, disgusted by the lives they were choosing to live. Stories tell of warriors as fierce as demons descending from the sky, borne of Hell itself, to wreak havoc upon their brethren in Elysium. The truth is, however, that the Hellions are simply advocates of freedom; a group composed of those who see past the oppression of HEAVEN and are willing to do anything to push past the veil that it has so cleverly placed upon itself. The Hellions were formed and are still led by one Berith Hellrunner (by birth ), the child of Harlan Egris, the leader of the original colonies of Elysium. After his execution by the deposing forces of HEAVEN, he and his mother fled off-world in search of sanctuary, but could find none within reasonable distance of Elysium. For a time they seemed doomed to die alone, drifting between planets of Centurai; it was only by sheer luck that in a last ditch effort, scans of the cold side of Hell revealed an igneous superstructure that seemed suitable for habitation, albeit barely. Other fleeting supporters of the Egris family soon tracked and discovered the frightened mother and child in the structure now known as Limbo and made it their goal to set up a suitable sanctuary within. This base of operations becomes home to the Hellions years after, when Berith was old enough to fend for himself. It is said that every year, the Hellions descend to Elysium to pull away worthy individuals from the oppressive society of HEAVEN to join their ranks. Nobody really knows if this is myth, or hold some credit, however... /Information:Other://///Name: Eden////Subject: City///Location: Elysium//History:/Information:Other://///Name: Limbo////Subject: City///Location: Hell//History:/Information:Other://///Name: The Burning Ones////Subject: Organization///Location: Elysium//History:/Information:Other://///Name: Berith Hellrunner////Subject: Character///Location: Limbo / Hell//Appearance:/Biography:Other://///Name: Aamos Sonnellion ////Subject: Character///Location: Limbo / Hell//Appearance:/Biography:Other://///Name: Arkiel Elohim////Subject: Character///Location: Elysium / Eden//Appearance:/Biography:Other://///Name: Koriel Elohim////Subject: Character///Location: Elysium / Eden//Appearance:/Biography:Other://///Name: Uriel the Watcher////Subject: Character///Location: Eden / Elysium//Appearance:/Biography:Other:.

[quote=Monkeypants] WIPLocation:: The moons of Jupiter and SaturnGovernment:: Military AuthoritarianHistory:: The Jovian league draws its roots from early colonization efforts of old earth. As colonies began to spring up through the moons, earth began calling for resources to sustain itself. At first the Jovians were more than happy as they were just a colony of their home world, earth. As time went on an they became more and more abused, a sort of national pride kicked in and they began a bid for independence. Families of the miners of Jupiter and Saturn began leaving earth which bolstered numbers and the ships they brought seemed to bolster the Jovians resolve. The taxation of heavy metals and gasses began towards earth did not help the situation on earth. When the Solar war began, the CCZ arrived in large numbers to take over the resource rich moons and machinery that at the time, has been untouched by the war. They were somewhat well received as the Jovians felt like they had some security. The GIU would tear that security down in a heart beat as they arrived in force, causing fighting right in the Jovians living room. As the two fought it out, various colonies were occupied by marines from both sides until the third earth faction arrived. An NAU fleet arrived and for a while, they fought it out but as they began to tire, the Jovians made a move on the occupied colonies, from within. It was luck that the colonies weren't bombed from orbit as they began liberating the worlds, the fleets started receiving word of earths fall and that their war was over and a cease fire was created. The Jovians were now in the middle of a culture war as the earth forces began merging peacefully in to the colonies they once occupied militarily. At first it was harsh and people didn't trust one another but after two hundred years, the old wounds had healed as the old generations died out. There would still be some finger pointing to this day and the occasional extremist would raise their voice but one thing would always arrive to snuff it out, the Jovian military. Made up of all factions, the military grew into a juggernaut with a sole purpose of not allowing another solar war to ravage the only home these men and women have. Numerous rulers have come and gone but none have ever been allowed to lead without the backing of the military. Some colony leaders have lasted mere days before vanishing or being publicly executed to be sure people to understand how serious they are about their mission, to protect the Jovian LeagueCulture: Various cultures have taken root in the nation that are traced directly to the old super nations of earth. One dominant belief is shared through them though, the defense of the league itself. There is no one religion that shapes any ideology or any one figurehead that is revered as a grand leader of old. There is an criminal culture that has formed in the bowels of the nation that has formed everything from black market weapons dealers to mere gangs that fight for food.Military:Technology:Other:====================================================================================================Subject:: PlanetLocation:: JupiterGeography:: Old craters now filled with green fields with settlements dotting the surface. both small and large canyons stretch for miles with cities built into the more shallow and wider ones.

The world is full of open colonies and its underground facilities aren't even half as big as the ones on Ganymede. The reason for this is that the world had many domed colonies at the point of Terra-forming. The world has few, but heavily populated large cities that are partially underground. The buildings are close together and have massive enclosed foot bridges from building to building. Mag lev trains move throughout the city on a very complex rail system that has become more and more crowded as the cities slowly expand. Few settlements exist outside the major cities but usually have less than two hundred colonists, making these settlements nothing more than a footnote. Name:: KarstownSubject:: Capitol CityLocation:: TethysCulture:: Karstown is a heavily populated city but the majority is Ethnic NAU descendants. Other: The Karstown settlement was established shortly after the solar war ended and the League was in its infancy. The NAU portion of the fleet spearheaded forming a more NAU affiliated colony and at the time the man the colony was named for, Randy Karson, was one of the proponents of a more unified nation. His desire to tear down those barriers was so strong that he ordered families to be spread throughout the league to every world to promote unity so that the original ideology that formed the nation in the first place, to never be conquered or destroyed, would require no interior racial hatred. To this day, the planet is still more ethnic NAU than any other race.====================================================================================================/////Subject: Planet////Location:///Geography://Atmosphere:/Fauna: [only if the world is valid for alien life]Other:====================================================================================================/////Subject: Planet////Location:///Geography://Atmosphere:/Fauna: [only if the world is valid for alien life]Other:====================================================================================================/////Subject: Planet////Location:///Geography://Atmosphere:/Fauna: [only if the world is valid for alien life]Other: [/quote] While currently your lore is incomplete, especially in regards to military and tech [I know some bits about their capabilities from what I gleamed off the app sheet and what I know from OOC, however] you're accepted.
