I'm not quite done with judgements yet, but I do have a WIP app for you all to see. [hider=FREEDOM IS THE ONLY WAY] [b]Name:[/b] United States of Vespuccia [b]Alias/Abbreviation: [/b]Vespuccia, United States, USV [b]Nation Species: [/b]Rissan [b]Species Description:[/b] Rissan, compared to humanity, are very similar. The main difference are their ears, which are pointed and jut out from their heads instead of being more or less flush to them. Another difference is that all Rissan are extremely dark-skinned. Aside from these superficial differences, humans and Rissan look exactly alike externally. Internally, however, there are major differences. Rissan have a larger heart and an extra lung, likely the result of a lack of mounts to hunt from. Due to this, their endurance is much greater than that of a human. One of the oddest things about them is their blood, which is based on iridium. Thanks to the more complicated lung structure this requires, they also have only one kidney. Since albinos tended to die in a few months, they see white as a color of death. Green is seen as the color of war, as blood left out tends to turn from an orange to a green. They have a different skeletal structure in their central torso as well, since the kidney must be more protected. Their ribcage extends down to it, which is located in front of the stomach. Their liver is also smaller, and thus they have a much lower (physical) tolerance for alcohol. An amount that would cause mild problems in a human could kill a Rissan.

Mass-produced, miniature fission reactors are used in many combat vehicles (Originally installed for the purpose of surviving a total societal collapse in order to fight on, now installed to avoid overhauling the supply chain). These powers have also been applied in space combat, resulting in the development of the Casaba Howitzer (Which has seen use on [i]Dixon[/i]-class Destroyers as an environmental weapon, phasing out their earlier torpedoes).
