Here are the coordinate locations for everything on the maps, including anomalies. For identifying the anomalies, they are ordered from left to right, and their order remains the same across both maps (since they just move up or down between them). So 'Magnetar One' is the Magnetar furthest to the left on both maps. Coordinates shown here have been rounded in order to make distance calculations easier.

Need to calculation distances quick? Here is a handy calculation site. In case that is not working or you prefer the hands on approach, here's a manual input equation for you: Sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 + (z2 - z1)^2).

Jammers, for the purposes of this RP, are to be stationary structures - space stations or planetary facilities. They are relatively short ranged. Specifically, I'm going to say as a general rule of thumb that they have a maximum range of One Astronomical Unit, or approximately 150,000,000 kilometers. A fleet of ships moving at a constant velocity of 50,000 kilometer per minute would be able to cross that distance in two days. In essence, jammers buy you a little bit of time to brace for an impending attack fleet.

Jammers can be discriminatory - targeting only a specific form of FTL - or they can be Nondiscriminatory - targeting EVERY conceivable form of FTL. Both forms have their advantages and disadvantages, which should be apparent enough.

Jammers should be hard and time consuming to produce due to reasons, and so it is encourage that factions make use of only a limited number of jammers that are strategically employed at critical locations, such as your capital or homeworld.

For your convenience, here is the description for a Nondiscriminatory Jammer that was co-developed by @Darkmatter and myself. It is 90% hard science, and reiterates the basic expectations outlined here.

Give us a holistic synopsis/summary of your nation. Hit the important points and give us a good exterior view or first impression.

Describe important star systems or areas/zones of control here. Including your Capital System/Home System would be a good start.

Describe your nation's system of governance here. How do your politics work?

Describe the dominant or most prominent species within your nation here - just their physiology and relevant psychology though. Describe their lifestyles and such in the culture section.

Tell us about important Social and Population demographics and dialectics. Castes, classes, social hierarchy, standards of living, cultural norms, that sort of thing. Give us a broad overview of society as a whole and a bit of a more personal look at the life of the individual.

Are there any large, powerful, or prominent subgroups, political, religious or otherwise within your nation? Tell us about them here!

Describe the history of your nation prior to its transition into the True Vacuum universe.

Your nation was randomly gobbled up by an undetectable FTL phenomenon and displaced into an entirely new universe surrounded by completely unknown alien powers in a geopolitical landscape you know nothing about. Do you know what happened? Are there any theories flying around about what happened? What has been the general reaction of the public? What do your scientists and military specialists think? Describe in general how the move to the True Vacuum universe has influenced your nation.

Describe important and noteworthy technological innovations here. You can either describe everything in this one hider or, if individual bits and pieces are particularly long/important, you can stash them all in multiple hiders. Military technology, while important, is not the only thing that should be covered. Show us technology as it is used throughout your civilization.

Describe the different structures within your military here! Again, you may benefit from using multiple hiders for separate structures.

The Liliate


The liliate are really a composite of two species. The first species being the titular liliate, who are large, plant-like beings with many lily-like heads. The second species are the buzzers, who are akin to bees except come in many uniform colors instead of the yellow jacket color bees typically are associated with. Through millions of years of co-evolution the liliate have become a mutually intelligent being. The buzzers get a mobile home and food source in exchange for pollinating the liliate and carrying out tasks for the liliate.


The liliates themselves are large, plant-like beings whose many appendages, stems, leaves, vines and roots give them mobility as they wrap, pull and drag themselves around. They tend to move about in large capsule-like devices when inside spaceships or environments hostile to their kind, but on good soil they tend to go without the capsules. The lily-like parts of their bodies are akin to their heads in that they hold many sensory organs that allow them to see countless more colors than humans. Liliates also reproduce with their lilies, usually pollinating themselves when alone or pollenating with another liliate in close proximity. They don't have gender or sex, but have seen enough other animals and aliens to have a concept of what gender and sex are. Liliates are universally referred to in feminine pronouns despite not having human concepts of femininity. They're liliates.


Besides liliates, there are buzzies who co-evolved with the liliate. Buzzers, like mentioned earlier are like bees with multiple castes and a highly eusocial mindset. Physically they're only a bit bigger than a bee, but come in many colors of the rainbow to indicate their role in the hive. A liliate is a host to buzzies, usually having at least two dozen hives and queens who make their home somewhere in the liliate's large stems. These queens act as a consciousness for the liliate through a mode of communication not properly understood. Buzzies are around the size of a large bee on average, the queens being only 5 inches in size and have a whopping 12% of their body weight as a brain. They're not that smart despite that. The queens produce babies and relay commands from the liliate to the buddy drones to have them do all sorts of tasks. With advancements of technology, the amount of Buzzer types has expanded greatly through genetic engineering.


Liliates as a species are numerous, but the vast majority are commoners who lack the advanced biotech the higher classes of the sanctum carry about. Their high populations are more due to their long life spans as opposed to fucking like rabbits; a Liliate can live 3 centuries on average.

Their diets consist of water, sunlight, fertilized soil and dead, rotting corpses along with a wide range of nectars or bloods (depending on role) for the buzzers.


Government


Their society is a somewhat feudal society where the affairs of government are private to the common liliate as the typical liliate has no concern for political troubles. They are much more inclined to enjoy a pastoral existence on a garden world than to go around conquering and empire building. They don't see the point in democracy since your typical liliate can live in the wild just fine, modifying it however they like.


The ruler of their civilization is the Verdant One, who is picked by assembly (ritual will be shown IC) from the elder patrons.


The elder patrons are the close knit circle around the Verdant One who carry out the will of the Verdant One and enforce policies domestically. Their jobs are also highly spiritual in that they will pick worlds to bless with life, however the Verdant One can overrule any of the decisions a Elder Patron may make. Besides the additional responsibilities, they still carry the burdens of their lesser peers.


The liliate who deal with political concerns are the patrons, who are called such due to their patronage of the arts and their patronage of life. Their main tasks are to carry out the more complicated tasks of the sanctum such as genetic modification, diplomacy, waging of war and management of the commoners. They do not own land like a noble, instead having a communal spaceship with other members of their pod they watch over a planet with.


The commoners have it the best, arguably. While the patrons in theory have absolute control over the commoners, the commoners in practice are simply tasked with making the world a prettier place. They are numerous and live on a planet without borders, tinkering with the ecosystems and biomes of a garden world or progressively designing and terraforming/bioforming a wet enough desert world. They don't get drafted into wars except in situations of planetary defense where they may levied by the patrons to fight against a hostile intrusion.


Outside of the liliates (and their buzzers), various forms of organic drones/wetware are used for repetitive tasks and ship construction. These drones tend to just be modified versions of animals they have encountered among the cosmos.




Military technology


Their military is a mixture of organic and artificial technologies, but very lopsided towards organic tech with inorganic (metal/metalloid-based) tech being seen as a "necessary evil".


Their deadliest weapon is a powerful radiation array ("Sunshine" as it is colloquially called) that pretty much reduces a world to a blighted hell hole incapable of growing life. The liliate themselves find the weapon utterly horrifying and only use it as a last resort, only having a limited supply stashed on high level spaceships under constant watch.


Liliates specialize in biological and chemical warfare, with conventional methods not really gettuing nearly as much funding. Their vast library of deadly toxins and diseases is a well known secret of the Sanctum, and this library only grows as they expand and find new chemicals and breeds of bacterium.


On ground, their deployments of drones who are chemically intoxicated to do anything on the whim of their liliate patron, offensive terraforming and swarms of patronized buzzies (with stings that contain all sorts of horribly contagious, extremely fatal illnesss) make them pretty much a death knell to civilian infrastructure. In space, their weapons are sub-par due to their ships being more carriers than fighters. They make use of laser weaponry and other conventional modes of ballistics, but all this is more to defend a ship more than engage in a offensive war in space. Instead, the Liliate try to rush to planets they know the enemy won't be willing to glass (like a planet full of civilians) to get a leverage on their enemy and force negotiation.


On the defensive they tend to make use of multiple defensive platforms laden in conventional weapons and tend to dig very deep into planets (especially cave heavy worlds) in places where potential conflict may arise. Such digging in can make quite impressive monuments to the terraforming capabilities of the Liliate, despite how amish the common liliate is to an outside viewer.


Technological Overview


The Liliate, as mentioned in the military section are biotech heavy. This applies to their less murderous applications of tech as well. For instance, they make use of neural manipulation (or mind control) to make beasts of burden bend to their every whim. This mind control relies heavily on instinct manipulation and requires for a node to be placed inside one's head for it to actually be effective. The Buzzers have developed castes that pretty much try to go into your ear to allow for a liliate to control your mind.


Their computers use a neural form of wiring that allows them to think through many different designs of creatures and splice them. Experimentation using these computers is a constant in their society. This same neural wiring is used in their space probes, which are encased in protective layers of plastics/metals. The application of the automations are pretty diverse, but they're only seen in the company of patrons and on spaceships- they aren't allowed on the garden worlds.

The Liliate tend to terraform worlds that 'have potential' into garden worlds and can do so in a matter of a several decades because once a planet is blessed to be terraformed more and more common liliate will be transported to the world by the patrons.

Number and industry-wise they're around average in terms of productivity when it comes to space ships. In colonizing and terraforming, they're very productive.

The FTL they use is standard with nothing unique about it. The cultural impact of FTL however, is what caused them to begin their quest to start seeding and terraforming any world they bless with their kind. Even if it's already in use, as the concerns of some meathead or metalhead only matter if they dare undermine the Verdant One's wishes.


Cultural Overview


The Verdant Sanctum's overall culture is actually quite artistically inclined, at least for the vast majority. They treat their ecosystems and biome modification as art, and therefore is not usually trying to be efficient in terms of sustainability or ecological harmony. The common liliate live in quite open conditions with the closest things to homes being shelter systems from harsh weather or incomplete worlds. Patronic liliate tend to live in spaceship terrariums, only being allowed to go on world by a elder patron. A elder patron is only allowed to go on world by the verdant one, who is rooted on the home world.

The word buzzer is never actually used to describe the species that is in communion with the liliate; buzzer is a slang term invented by some other species. The liliate themselves do not really distinguished buzzers from the liliate. It's as absurd to them as claiming your tongue or pinky is a separate species. Or claiming white blood cells are separate from humans. In the Verdant Sanctum, the "buzzers" pretty much act as and perceive themselves as extensions of the liliate. The queens may be psychologically independent from their liliate, but they pretty much see themselves as part of the same mind. Despite this, the buzzers pretty much have autonomy in what the liliate is saying since when a liliate talk, it's really the coordinate buzzing of the buzzers. If a buzzer queen is lost, it is like losing a part of one's personality.

Liliate have a great interest in life in general, going as far as to raid and abduct life on alien worlds should there be no other means to obtain it. On several occasions already there are liliate who have put multiple alien species on a planet and tried making a functional ecosystem out of it. They see technology as a necessary evil that has enabled them to spread life outside of their single star system and their relationship with technology is very mixed as a result.


Their economy is pretty much built around constant expansion, for they need to keep colonizing and terraforming more worlds in order to keep growing as a civilization and most liliate go without money instead just having a simple barter economy. Patrons however, do have a system of wealth that is more based in favors than in actual currency- the better a patron is doing, the more they are allowed to commission to the common Liliate. Trade with aliens is done exclusively in barter, however.


Their relationship with other forms of intelligent life who have embraced metal-based technology to far greater degrees is not all that great, however they may find common cause with an ideologically similar species. Their system of blessing worlds may cause them to get into major trouble with another society. They have many other art forms beyond ecological art including art that humans would refer to as "art" like their large scale gardening, rock art, symbol drawing and painting. (sadly their paintings can't be fully enjoyed, let alone understood by human eyes).



History


The Verdant Sanctum's History is one that started in tragedy, for the Verdant Sanctum formed only after their kind some several hundred years ago suffered a massive dying off known simply as "The Weltering" that nearly caused their species to fall back to the stone age. In what seemed like the end of their kind, the first Verdant One managed to bring together the anarchy that was consuming their world and in what should have been the end of Liliate civilization turned into a renaissance and cultural rebirth as their conventional technology managed to accidentally happen upon the Warp Drive. In this renaissance, the baseline for the Verdant Sanctum was born.


In the first explorations of space, a realm once seen as a empty void without any value to their kind they discovered that other planets also had life. The discovery of alien worlds with life lead to the first blessings of alien worlds as the Third Verdant one set down the foundations for which worlds may be blessed by herself personally.


The criteria goes like this:
1. Wet enough
2. Warm Enough
3. Sunny Enough


Over the following few centuries and to present day, the Verdant Sanctum has spread across dozens of star systems (moderate size civilization with dense population- tell me how big is balanced for this RP) and have made contact with intelligent life in the past century.

Formulaic Patron of Skimming Light

Prospecting Elder of the Blue Abyss

Imagining Patron with Violet Minds

(Naming convention is ROLE + SOCIAL CLASS -transition (not nessecarily just "of")- Adj + Noun)

The Cessians, distant cousins of humans, through their mastery of robotics and information technology blew past the singularity, not only having essentially conquered biological death, but have fully integrated themselves with machines. Most of their massive population live on one world, brains wired into a digital paradise, where existence is bliss. This existence of digital paradise is supported by the million+ Cessians who do not live in the Dream, who protect the Brain Clusters from outside invaders, and trade, explore and conquer all in the search for that most valuable of commodities, new experiences and foreign memories, to be fed into the dream and maintain the paradise a little longer.

The Cessians were blessed with an incredible home system, and have not expanded beyond it. It was chosen by their distant human ancestors millennia ago, on their fabled exodus from their old homeworld. Their homeworld, Cessia, is a verdant world dotted with the hive cities that contain the lion’s share of the hundreds of billions of Cessian brains that inhabit the dream. The population density being truly massive [seeing as each inhabitant takes only a few feet to store], most of the world’s surface is devoted to producing the massive amounts of food needed to keep the billions of Dreamed citizens alive, through mass-scale on land or sea. There are five other terrestrial planets, and several habitable moons, not to mention a mineral-rich asteroid belt. Many of these spaces are devoted to food production, much to the industry needed to sustain such population and keep the Dream functioning without fail. Much of the asteroid field is cannibalized for antimatter production, or for the shipyards that churn out either manned or unmanned exploration vehicles for the great galactic Experience Harvest

The Dream, being a paradise wonderland that can be shared or instanced per person, has no real government. Those Cessians who exist outside the Dream work under the direction of the Shepard Council, a gathering of a dozen of the oldest Cessians, who direct the running of all Reality functions, with each Councilor controlling their own aspect, from Agriculture to Maintenance to Exploration to Diplomacy. The Arch-Shepard has almost absolute executive control, though on matters that effect all aspects of Reality, the council holds a veto with 1/3 agreement, and on matters effecting the dream, unanimous agreement is required

The Dream is constantly changing, and to almost every citizen of Reality it is entirely alien, its trends and changes invisible to the outsider. In reality, in its massive mental exchange the average citizen seeks entertainment and pleasure, trends and diversions shifting constantly, burning through experiences and living or creating fictions and tales to be enjoyed by all. In Reality, the culture is one of highly moralistic duty-oriented service, with the improvement and maintenance of the Dream holding almost religious significance, each Reality-bound Cessian hungry to do their duty, and each prizing highly the most valuable commodity for the Dream, new experiences and never before seen memories

As mentioned, the Shepard Council controls the entirety of the Cessian Reality operations. Subject to the council, the Exploration Councilor controls the Discovery Fleet, a massive assembly of manned and unmanned vehicles to meet new species and buy their memories, or chart new worlds and bring tales of their geography back to the Dream to fuel its paradise a little longer. The Discovery Fleet works closely with the Defense Councilor’s Vanguard Fleet, which is the second largest institution, and is tasked with defending the home system and the Dream from foreign powers, fanatical and absolutely devoted.

The earliest history of the Cessians is unknown, and the reason for their exodus from human society is a mystery. What is known is that after they settled on Cessia their scientists raced forwards in the fields of robotics and biology, and created semi-sentient robots and the ability to create believable, malleable alternate realities. The effects of this latter development nearly destroyed the Cessians, with nearly every citizen leaping at the opportunity to live in the Dream. The Cessians nearly died out, and starvation or technological failures killed hundreds of millions of the first adopters of the Dream, but during a scramble to create the infrastructure necessary to support these Dreamers the Cessians finally became almost entirely sustained on the labor of machines, most citizens remaining in Reality joining their Dreaming brothers and sisters as those who remain outside paradise are needed only for oversight and large-scale guidance.

The first issues arose hundreds of years later, after the cloned populace had surpassed previous census levels and the Dream had become stable. People started to grow bored within ‘paradise’. It was a catastrophe, and while solutions were looked for years of perdition held the Dreamers as there was nothing left for them to do. The idea was finally struck to begin feeding the Dream computers with harvested memories, and while new species and planets were searched for the Reality-bound Cessians gave their memories to keep the Dream alive that little bit longer. Eventually, new civilizations and new locations were found, and the Dream was bolstered, but in the years leading up to the Vacuum the realities of this tactic, that it would only delay and never solve the problem of boredom, became evident.

Elated. This is the absolute best-case scenario. Exploration fleets were sent out in a mass exodus to build a massive stockpile of experience, and trade with new lifeforms has tapped an entirely new vein of philosophies, tales and memories. There is little care about why it happened, though scientists are beginning to look into how it was survived and if it can happen again [or be caused]. There is fear for the safety of Cessia proper, but the Defense Councilor is confident in the extra-asteroid defensive perimeter.

Semi-sentient, self-modifying robots under strict control from biological Cessians make up almost the entirety of the massive workforce. Artificial intelligence has progressed by leaps and bounds, and automation is a natural process. Everything from farming to fleets to construction is run by single Cessians and performed by armies of robots. Biological advancement has made cloning possible [a necessity when the stable breeding population entered the dream], and though not entirely immortal lifespans have been increased to millennia [a number constantly increasing, despite the negative effects on the stagnation of the dream]. Most Cessians are little more than brains wired into their virtual paradise, with most not even knowing their world is fake. Power is generated via non-orientable wormholes, a new and slightly unstable technology but one with massive potential in the eyes of the Cessians.

There are only a few thousand Cessians involved in Defense, but with autos that is seen to be sufficient. The last millennia has seen a constant buildup and improvement of planetary fortresses, spheres of defenses surrounding inhabited planets made up of every weapon at the Cessian's disposal, thought by their designers to be nearly impregnable, or at least dangerous enough to assure mutual destruction. The Cessian fleet is fairly small by comparison, intended to supplement defensive structures and engage alongside fortifications, never to commit to aggressive action.
The Defense Councilor has overall command, and beneath him are two Admirals, one of the Fleet and one of the Fortresses. Beneath them the required staff are present. Not a military institution, the Exploratory Fleet is organized as one, with several admirals commanding massive automated armadas of scouts, tying closely with the diplomatic and trade services in procuring requisite commodities from other civilizations.

Ion Shielding: Ion shielding can cover the whole of Abysmalia in nanoseconds. In all there are 20 flux capacitors, all powered by plutonium, underground of course. When shields are hit with any type of energy blast, it Ionizes the energy, transfer it, then shoot it out of the various Ion Cannons set up around Abysmalia, and shoot it as a controlled beam.

Hybrid Engines: An Antimatter- Synthetic Helium 4 triple tank engine. The ship mainly runs off of Antimatter. One tank is filled with antimatter, another with the Synthetic Helium 4(SH4) For quick getaways and FTL jumps, some of the the SH4 and Antimatter, are put into the third empty tank. They mix, causing it to "erupt" and send it of with speed.
