  • History:
    The following is the transcript of a speech by then-Prince Azrian Victorinne I on behalf of his mentally unstable father 2 years ago:
    "Today is 5378 P.E.Y (Post Exodus Year). 5,378 years ago, this Empire had only arrived on this new world by the HSSA and one of my ancestors made a speech reminding us to carry on though our home, whose name has been long forgotten, was destroyed. 5,000 years ago one of my ancestors stood before you here after the crushing of the Rafalian uprising. 4,921 years ago another stood before you all the day this planet was unified under Victorian rule, the day we made this place home. A mere hundred years after, Empress Thalia celebrated the completion of the SEVD Project and 30 years later the System Exhaustive Survey was completed. It was then we discovered the Ylvians, the Gloss and the Varss who we regrettably had to subjugate and exterminate due to their threat upon our species. But it was then our calling by the stars was answered, it was then a new age began. And today is another one of those times. Not I, but all of us will be remembered as those who left the shackles of the past! Today, we once more free ourselves of our restraints! For today, a new step into the future has been made. Today we set off in search for new star systems. The tomorrow we have searched for, the tomorrow where the galaxy is bound in the grip of our beloved fatherland, united in search of the light of the Future will soon be achieved!"

    Today; however, we must also remember the sacrifices we made. What we had given up for this glorious future. We can only hope that now and tomorrow, we may avoid unnecessary bloodshed. That no more will have to join the Ylvians, Gloss and Varss in the grave.
    Yet we must continue to move forward! Into the future! If we must sacrifice then we must! If for the sake of progress any sacrifice is necessary! We will overcome all obstacles and destroy all roadblocks.
    But today is no day of mourning nor a day to arm ourselves in preparation for a war. Tonight we celebrate! Let every house in the Empire be filled with joy! So fellow Victorians I oblige you, be merry!'

    The Victorian Empire is a relatively young nation whose history stretches as far back as 6,000 years before the present era. The Empire was founded on Earth by an unknown individual only referred to as the First Emperor. He was a main sponsor for a massive Project known as Project Salvation. The product of which was the Human Species Salvation Ark or simply the 'Ark'. They fled in the ark from the dying Earth, arriving on Valia-IV (Salvation). Upon arriving, the early nation was unstable and nearly collapsed had it not been for the few who believed in the First Emperor's ideals. They reformed the government but were unable to keep the state from splintering. After 100 years, the nation had nearly reunified. Then, the Rafalian revolt broke out who led a revolt that lasted 278 years. In that time, the rest of the world was developed either under the Rafalians or the Victorians. When the revolt was finally put down, much knowledge of the past was gone, devolving technology to the equivalent of 1500 AD (~-4500 PEY).
    The Empire recovered quickly and launched its first space missions only 200 years later. Soon, they began interplanetary travel and now they are capable of interstellar travel.
  • Victorian Government:

    The Empire is a Constitutional Monarchy with the Emperor as Head of State and the Prime Minister as Head of Government.

    The Empire's Legislation is quite confusing for non-Victorians as it is made up of 2 levels: The National and Imperial Assemblies.
    The National Assembly itself is Bicameral having two chambers: the Chamber of Titles and the Chamber of the Commons. The CoT is made up of people who hold titles or have been deemed by the Emperor as influential enough to be in the council. It has 50 seats but can have as many as 65 seats. The CoC is composed of officials elected by the people. The number depends on the decision of the High Triarchy which decides before every election how many seats there will be and the distribution per territory. The Imperial Assembly is the term for the entire legislation: The aforementioned National Assembly and the High Triarchy. The triarchs are the Emperor, the Prime Minister and the Speaker for the CoT. This council is the only one with the authority to declare war, sign treaties and make other important decisions.

    The Empire's Executive follows the Parliamentary Model. Some notable ministries and agencies are:

    The Bureau of Imperial Affairs
    The Ministry of Science and Technology
    The Ministry of External Affairs and Relations
    The Ministry of Internal Affairs
    Bureau of Public Health and Safety
    Armed Enforcement Section
    The Ministry of the National Armed Forces
    The Ministry of Administration
    The Ministry of Information and Communications

    The Judiciary is composed of Local Courts, Planetary Courts, System Courts and the Imperial Tribunal composed of the Supreme Triarchy and 7 Justices.

    Elections are held either at the Emperor's behest or death or when the Parliament deems the PM or ruling party has been in power for too long or passes a motion of no-confidence.

-- -- Advanced, having spent a great deal of time among the stars. They've got antimatter reactors, warheads, etc. Translocation Gates between major systems for instantaneous transportation, advanced warp drives that create an area of effect- a single carrier could bring its entire fleet with it, and faster than Tier-3 civilizations because of the antimatter reactor powering it.
-- -- Ambitious, having done more than most in the time they've had since they began learning about the universe.
-- -- Intelligent, having forged ahead in most areas of science without stopping. Why have an entire fleet individually warp to a system, when a flagship could simply bring the entire group, while still in formation?
-- -- Culturally dull, because while there is a great many traditions and honors and such, they do not have fine arts like humans. The only notable thing about their culture, beyond their clans and history and such, is the fact that they are magnificent, magnificent cooks. Because of their dull tastebuds, they make up for it by making strong, almost powerful tasting foods.

Trading Atlas of Acropolis




Appearance
The TAA are made up of an entirely human population, ranging from many different races derived from their home planet, Terra.

History
The TAA were some of the very first to go up when the dream of Intergalactic Travel became a reality. It started off with a group of 25 men and women sent on a mission of sample extraction from mars. They returned with their samples and were sent out to different places, each time with a bigger group. With the current size of the TAA after about a year after the first mission, A decision was made and NASA partnered with SpaceX, the US government, and many other finders and sponsors to make what was dubbed by the TAA themselves, as Acropolis, derived from Greek, meaning High City.

Acropolis was the beginning base of operations for the TAA in the early ages of space-age revolution, as well as a big step in putting earth farther out there. As technology evolved further, so did Acropolis, and it became one of the early Galactic Superpowers, and one of the only ones. Acropolis began to expand past the Sol System, and on the day of launch past the system, the TAAs president, Richard Garmond, passed away. His dying wish was to have his daughter, Lucy, take his place. Lucy was respected and liked by everyone, and a strong leader on the political scope.

Ever since Lucy, the TAAs way of succession, has been Aristocracy, from a humble family. But power and money can lead to corruption, an that is was happened. The fifth president of the TAA was a harsh leader, who did what he could to ensure the well being of the rest of his family, to make sure that his bloodline and legacy continued. The people who were close to him, or believed that siding with Harold Garmond split from those who knew he was wrong. There was no civil war, but as the people split, productivity split as well. The TAAs profits decreased 27% from the time Harold Garamond became the next president, and something needed to be done about it.

Harold Garamond was assassinated by an unknown person, just 1 and a half years into his presidency.

...

Hundreds of thousands of years later the TAA is still a Galaxtic Superpower, but not one in the Militarized aspect. Acropolis' control over multiple resource rich systems has led them to be one of the most Profitable nations in its current time, and one with enough resources and money, that even though it doesn't have an expansive military, it can still be feared, and a monster to deal with on the political and economical battlefield.

Government
Acropolis has a President, assigned through aristocracy, and a Vice-President elected by the president themselves. The President has a cabinet of advisors that help him make decisions, and a congress that either passes, or denies the president's decision.

Aristocracy can be a very corrupt system when it comes to congress...

Alignment
Neutral

The Alignment of the TAA is rather neutral, hoping to trade their resources for others, and expand their grasp on the galactic market. If something stands in the way of that, and will not go by peaceful means, they will have to remove it.

Technology Level
2.5

Acropolis is working on producing a new line of antimatter warheads, but is still mainly based around tier 3 technology standards.

Unity, through Victory.




History of the Meridian Belt


Beggings
During the expansionist era of Humanity, probes and ark ships filled the void. These expeditions were funded by then multi trillion dollar corporations and conglomerates, TAA playing the largest role. A gold mine of habitable zones had been found by TAA. Their Xeno-terrestial survey team fascinated by this cluster of stars. Situated in the mid point of the galaxy between the rim and the core. The star cluster was coined "The Meridian Belt", as derived from Earth's imaginary mid point.

Colonial Era

With the discovery of the belt of habitable worlds it wasn't long before TAA set out with an large investment into colonization and exploitation of the resources in the area. The initial settlements were based on all the habitable worlds within the area. Which totaled to 14 star systems, and 15 planets with a population of just under 6 million in 103 years of development and investment. With another 282 years of relative progress, the population sky rocketed to 995,280,000 million; the colonies became self sufficient and were earning TAA 107% of what they initially invested. Unique goods, fauna, and animal products from the Colonies flooded the markets. Art, science, and culture rapidly progressed too in the quadrant far from the home of Sol. The Meridian Belt was the quintessential shining gem of the TAA.

Many hardships were endured in the early days of settlement, as the colonists adapted to the worlds. Mingling with the various people of different cultures that worked alongside them. The major races apart of this were Americano, Dautchse, Jao'urasian, Grecoarabian, and Norte.

The colonies were registered into official records as, New New York, Perth, Michigan, Holland, Dresden, Yellowstone, Olympia, Tiāntángmén, Beijing, Tiananmen, Freystadt, Östersund, New Athens, Meshchyora, Beringia, and Molsbjerge.

Technology by the end of the time had reached 2.8 standards. Advanced nano machinery had been integrated into society, Antimatter was being accrued in the largest amounts ever recorded in human history through the ingenuity of Norman Bach. Culture had taken on interesting turns as the races mixed, mingled, and new ideas and values adopted to the different challenges encountered in the Meridian Belt.

Archive image of a young New New York, an alpine planet, with a relatively large barren world obiting. About 3x the size of the moon. It was a tourist attraction for naturalists, though the forests have been reduced to a few several thousand acre expanses amongst a otherwise industrialized world.


Orbital view of Olympia a lush and diverse world, reportedly the most similar colony to Earth. That was the leader in research, and the cultural center of the Meridian belt.


New Athens was a more hostile world, though the atmospheric pressure is nearly dead on with human standards, 101.2 kpa. The world's ecosytem died long ago from harsh asteroid collisions, any oxygen producing species long extinguished. Instead, due to the planet's history, it is notably mineral rich. Especially in radioactive materials. The world became the industrial base for the colonies. Especially in ship building.


Ostersund, an wild vibrant tropical world with indigenous life forms that facinate scientists to this day. Settlment was especially harsh, and challenging here. As plant life, predators, airborne and infectious spores symbiotic to several species plagued colonists with troubles. Naturally Ostersund had become the epicenter for advancements in the medical field. Today, Ostersund has been more tame as passive solutions were found to several problems the ecosystem had presented through viral genetic modification.


Yellowstone, an interesting prospect for habitation due to its underground ecosytem, and system of geothermal vents that when tapped into provided sources of carbon, hydrogen, and water. These allowed development of mega-domed cities.


First Contact


Humanity for a long time now had known they were not alone. Even the Meridian colonies were prudent enough to establish an interstellar militia. The MDF(Meridian Defense Force) were practiced in the standards of Human warfare of the day, and well equipped for a colonial military.

But whatever standards, or contingent plans the MDF had, they were to be fruitless in the Virgo incident. In the Gamma Hades star system, where New Athens and Olympia are situated, several unidentified objects appeared in the orbits of both New Athens and Olympia. Black, colorless balls dotted the skies. The MDF held fire, as first contact protocol was to maintain neutrality at all costs.

Investigative teams weren't able to find much, passive sensors were barely able to pickup a thermal signature against the background of the void, and active sensor signals were absorbed, even LIDAR. Ten minutes there after the objects disappeared experts identified the objects as probes, which was sooner than later to be confirmed.

Right after all colonies excluding New Athens, and Olypmia experienced the same. The interval of time the objects remained in orbit the same. Then there after every orbiting body even asteroids of every colony were surrounded by the assumed probes. Images of the Black dots rampant in media. The entire event perplexing, as there were no signals, no greetings. Silence was more worrying and perplexing than clear intent.

Broken Silence

MDF was placed on high alert, planetary emplacements were built and military spending skyrocketed under emergency edicts, under the pretense of you could never be to careful. Time passed, after 1 year 6 months the emergency edicts were lifted by public pressure; the wave of fresh recruits dying down to a trickle after the bonuses had been extinguished. Training standards faltered under the wait of too many trainees, and too little leadership to run the program after the major budget cut threw out career veterans for the smallest things. Another 2 years past and the encounter had been long marked as a silent observance by another technological advanced species. Benign in nature.

Then it happened again, a repeat of the Virgo incident. The probes dotting the skies of every inhabited body of every colony system. But these weren't the original probes, they were larger, more easily picked up by passive scans. They launched themselves into the gravity wells of the planets, screaming through the atmosphere. With only a 18 minute notice the low manned defense emplacements were able to intercept a few of the objects. Some exploded on impact, massive conventional bombs, others buried under the surface. All MDF units were mobilized within 2 hours. Intercepting crash sites, cities lay ruined. The opening attack overwhelming the emergency infrastructure of the colonies. Communication was confusing and limited.

An model of the Virgo Incident probes based in the Athens War Memorial.

XenoWars

The wars began, they were termed the Xeno Wars because there would be long periods of between assaults. Sporadic and terrifying, intense and short. Each time a different strategy, or several strategies combined thrown recklessly at the colonies. The events and attacks were broken up into events, descriptive of the nature of the assault. MDF command turned into the Meridian Coaliton, there was no way to detect the origin of the attacks though many attempts were made. The attacker's FTL technology well ahead of their own and unique.

Nano-Plague- After the drones had entered the orbits of every planet. The ones that hadn't exploded on impact began receiving signals and infiltrating the planet wide network with quantum speed. Before coalition forces had found them, and destroyed them with heavy ordnance; what had once been an integral part of Colonial society had turned for the worst. Implants, and nano robotics alike turned into monstrosities. Quick matter buildings became Gothic horror's entombing occupants, implants heated to lethal temperatures while nano machines melded with flesh. The nature of this attack completely altered the landscape of all the colonies within days before petering out. Making all too aware of how vulnerable to cyber attacks and otherwise they were. Their enemy had the upper hand.

Under such duress communications with Earth and TAA were made of the situation. Relief was sent, and a small expeditionary force able to make it through the tumultuous distances. The assistance they were able to offer was meager, though any help at all was seen as hope.

Casualties- 19,988,082

Xenophage- 2 years after the first and second attacks. The relief force had deemed they had fully recovered and that there was no threat to them. This was widely opposed, but there was nothing they could do as the ships slipped away into void.

Another six years passed, relative peace allowing the Colonies to recover, and prepare. An shower of meteorites peppered a few planets in the span of 5 months. Too many to stop, and too small to cause enough damage. Authorities at first signed it off as a natural occurrence.

A seed that had been planted though, in the cores of the small meteorites bore fruition of a creature. Entire hives of Xenomonstrosities purposely created to exterminate sentient forms of life, with all but invisible means of communication attacked settlements one after another. They became referred to as "Bugs" do to their exoskeltal, hive mind like nature. The call for help echoed again in the void. But communications with TAA and Earth had been few and far in between, trade had faltered over the years. There would be no help.

Planets fell to these invaders and they eventually became space born. Conflict rage both in land and sky. Refugees flooded to the more secure planets. While Coalition command struggled to combat the unorthodox creatures. Their mass charge tactics devastating and lighting fast. Norman Bach, head of the Xeno-Warfare team created the Novalan solution, an retrovirus derived from Ostersund's gene tailoring virus. That caused Bug's to die from nutrient deprivation since their blood couldn't carry the needed gases. It was first tested on New Athens, where it was successful, then Olympia where it's partial success allowed Coalition forces to destroy the menace.

However it had been found that there after the Bugs had become resilient to the retrovirus. Even immune, to the point that the war had shifted back to conventional warfare. But the amount of ground gained from the Novalan solution was a turning point. Coalition forces able to defeat the Bugs, however the planets that had been over taken were irredeemable. The wartime emergency government initiated the Casanova protocol, space forces nuking the planets from orbit before sending down forces to clear out the hives, tunnel by tunnel. Down to the man.

The death tolls exceeded comprehension, the destruction nigh but repairable. The aftermath left a bitter, harsh reality for the remnants of the Colonies to pick up, and start rebuilding.

Fallen planets- Dresden, Beijing, Freystadt, and Molsbjerge.
casualties- 111,383,848
War time span- 18 years.

Memorial in a small city plaza dedicated to a company of men and women who gave their lives to protect evacuating civilians. Inscribed on the plaque to the left is the company commander's quote to his superiors when disobeying direct orders to retreat. "So that others may live."


Chimeric Invasion- Time passed, mourning had long been pushed away, as weakness was death. Communication and ties to Earth and TAA had all been long lost. A new Era of peace washed over for the next twenty two years and three months. Under these conditions, an summit was held on Olympia with all the representing members of the Nation states, originally referred to as the colonies. The need to unite had been decided, and the Federated Articles of Union were created and signed. The emergency Coalition reformed into the more organized Federal Meridian Armed Forces.

Zeng Ru the first Chief Marshall of the Federal Meridian Armed Forces. The highest ranking member with executive control of all branches and services of the military; note that the uniform seen is an old coalition uniform before they were phased out. She had served 3 years as an officer of a Destroyer, 6 of a cruiser. Then 4 as the commanding officer of an 6 entire battle groups. Leading the campaign that ended the Xenophage war. Her speech upon promotion had been a phrase that has gone down in history. "Unity, through victory."


Marlon Holt first Chairman of the Union, which held the power to veto bills, or military action. Propose either, and enact policies. A survivor of Freystadt, and opposed to extreme military actions such as the Casanova Protocol.


The Meridian Armed forces had been more prepared then ever, the military complex taking up over 52% of Union industry. With military servicemen and women comprising of a insanely high 9.3% of the total population. But being prepared, and actually prepared are two different things. Patrols of the surrounding star systems had soon spotted installations of alien origin. Automated, well defended, but no space forces to be seen. Right away the entirety of the Armed forces was dispatched, with a few reserve forces left to protect the colonies.

The offensive operation named "Bái lóng" or white dragon. Upon destroying the installations from orbit, it was found that reproducing adaptive machines had infested many of the star systems. Xeng Ru continued the onslaught, but only to see the machines begin to copycat, then even exceed their own technology. Thus they were termed the Chimerics, after an mythical beast on Earth. What could have been a lighting fast victory turned into a prolonged, dangerous war.

The Meridian military barely able to contain the machines from expanding in their 5 remaining systems. The creation of tactical EMP weapons being the primary and most effective weapon against them, and pure high mass, and high velocity projectiles being the second. The war spread to the planets, but especially to Olympia and New Athens. Where entire shock waves would rack the atmosphere as the Machines FTL'd into orbit and speed downwards; the machines having developed teleportory FTL of the like which hadn't been seen since the Virgo Incident. Machines assaulting the Planetary Defense Forces and destroying entire cities.

They were losing badly, to the point where the FMAF(Federal Meridian Armed Forces) were on the defense. And with only 4 habitable planets remaining in a fighting shape. The rest too war torn, and taken over by the machines. The defense of those planets turned into guerrilla groups, and civilians sheltered in underground tunnel systems. But a group of scientists who worked alongside the Xeno-warfare team. Had found a weakness, by using the machines own way of communication against them. They studied the effects of the brute force cyber attacks during the Nanoplague. Adapting it to target Chimerics.

The cyber warfare worked, the machines being driven back in droves. The signal infecting each Chimeric, then passing onto another. The FMAF making sure to keep up with the momentum, throwing all remaining forces at them, and sending the signal as far as they could. But the war wasn't to end with such an easily obtained victory. Upon reaching the last remaining Chimeric system. A blinding flash filled the skies in the Gamma Hades system for Olympia had been pulverized by an unknown kinetic strike.

It was found that the Chimerics had developed an FTL weapon of unprecedented power, one that could destroy entire planets. The war ended with massive losses, and a society standing on its stilts. But survival had been attained.

Union Government


The Federal Forum of the Union. Host to the senate, where many decisions of the Union is made. Resurgem, New Athens.


Government Description

The Federal Meridian Union is a military democracy. Shaped by the XenoWars. Though freedom of expression, the right to bear arms, and tolerance of religion is maintained. There are many stigmas to them. Prior service members, and active duty members especially are elevated above normal citizens. Only prior, or active members may bear arms, run for Chairman, Vice Chairman, Federal Minister, or Federal Senator. The benefits of military service are so high, that even with rigorous training, and tours. The current military size is 5.2% of the population in a less wartime oriented environment.

Government Chain


    Executive
  • Chairman- Figurehead of the government. With power to veto military or senatorial actions and bills.
  • Vice Chairman- More of a figure head then anything, has diplomatic and ambassadorial honors. Manages the cabinet.
  • Federal Minister- Governs a planet, or colony.
  • Minister- Governs a county, or region.
  • Mayor- Governs a city, town, village, space habitat/s.


    Congressional
  • Federal Senator- Convenes at the Federal Forum of the Union, primary power is voting on new bills that effect everyone and everything in the Federal Meridian Union.
  • Senator- Votes on new bills that effect everyone within a planet, or colony.
  • Congressman/woman- Votes on new bills that effect everyone within a county, or region.
  • Consular- Votes on new bills that effect everyone within a city, town, village, space habitat/s.





Federal Meridian Armed Forces


In Meridian society, the military is held high above all else. Though human rights are not entirely sacrificed in the name of it during peacetime. Service is voluntary, but this is made up for the fact of huge benefits and comparable pay with civilian jobs. The service terms are universal, and due to life prolongation treatments it has seen the longest service times in human history, up to 40 years. With retirement benefits starting at 20 years, and only getting better with every 5 years mark.

Total Service members: 1,824,227,785

Command Hierarchy


-Chief Marshal of the Federal Meridian Armed Forces
--Admiral of the Federal Meridian Space Force
---Joint heads of staff

Federal Meridian Space Force

The FMSF is the most well funded branch of the FMAF. The theory of preventing threats before they can reach or even touch Planets or Colony's well accepted among Military leadership. The FMSF plays a vital roll in vacuum operations, transportation, and supply of ground forces.











Federal Meridian Marine Corps

The second most funded branch, the emphasis of the FMMC is mobility, versatility, and capability. FMMC forces are able to be dropped in "Hot" through the atmosphere or land on barren rocks, tanks, artillery, AA, SPAAG's, IFV's, AFV's, APCs; you name it the FMMC has it and can deploy anywhere, anytime. Though a large sacrifice to having this capability is for lighter designs with life support systems able to be properly deployed; is that they are in essence weaker. This is made up for on a focus of elite infantry training, and equipment. A well known stigma for joining the FMMC, is that no matter your MOM(Military Operating Mission) that you must serve 2 years as a Marine Rifleman.













Planetary Defense Force

With history going back to the days of the colonies. The PDF has carried over alot of tradition. The main funding of the PDF is the planetary installations for missile silos, and CIWS systems. Secondarily the PDF has a Air Force, and a heavily mechanized ground force. Members of the air and ground forces recieve alot of flak for poorer training and less funding. Though considering the fact that they are based primarily on breathable terrestrial worlds. The equipment they can use is actually superior in fighting quality to the other branches in terms of terrestrial combat.

Godfleet of Taranis

Nation Name: Godfleet of Taranis / Ne'Dregaani Remnants.

Species's Appearance: There are three distinct types of beings that compose the forces of Taranis.
- First, there is Taranis himself. His species styles itself Star Gods. They are ancient and come from the early days of the universe but gained a measure of sentience only as the eons passed. They were born as clusters of energy inside the heart of very dense stars and only took notice of physical beings when those beings had already advanced to a fairly high degree of technology. To interact with these beings, the Star Gods took on physical form, first through machines that contained their consciousness but soon, by taking over the bodies of those they encountered. This allowed them to quickly understand and master the people and technologies they encountered. Unfortunately, it also had the side effect of stocking their ego and arrogance to unimaginable heights. That is when they first adopted the idea that they were in fact gods born of the stars themselves. Taranis styles himself as the Thundered, the Heavenborn, and the Lord of Battles. He generally appears in the body of a young, effeminate boy clad in baroque armor with an all-encompassing face mask that translates his "godly" features. His host upon entering the new galaxy is now dead however, and he has retreated inside a device within the bowels of his ship known as the Iron Sarcophagus. Having spent millennia in physical guise, he cannot easily return to a non-corporeal state. In fact, should he be forced to do so, it would probably kill him.
- Secondly, the servants of Taranis are known as Dregaani. Dregaani used to be the dominant species of the Dregaan galaxy until the awakening of the Star Gods. They are bipedal, hairless, mammals with albino skin, eyes of red, blue, violet or any mixture of these shades, about 5 to 6 feet tall. They have elongated ears that end in points, sharp teeth from a predatory past, and prehensile upper limbs (ie hands). In the thousands of years since the Star Gods first appeared, they have technologically regressed and now serve mostly as menial slaves mostly bred for brawn and not brains. A few, however, are allowed to be educated to serve their master in more complex roles.
- Finally, the warrior caste of the Star Gods' servants are the Kotra. Kotra warriors are Dregaan slaves that are possessed by the dormant infants of the Star Gods. While the infant matures, a process that can take hundreds of years, the Kotra does not age, gains superior strength, resistance to common ailments, and the ability to heal wounds at a rapid pace. This is seen as a blessing from the gods and makes them a fiercely loyal force. The Star Gods care little for their young though and therefore do not blink at sending tens of thousands of Kotra to die in their name.

General Description and history: Taranis used to rule a large empire comprised of hundreds of inhabited planets in another galaxy. A trap sprung by his rival Star Gods created an unstable hyperspace window that propelled him and a large fleet of his ships into the current galaxy. Though he rages at his defeat and vows revenge, Taranis also sees this as an opportunity to create a new domain for himself and gather more slaves.

Government type and societal organization: Taranis is a god, at least in his mind and that of his servants. The technologies he possesses and his ability to take over the mind and body of a host prove his godhood, but above all, it is his supposed immortality that grant him the divine right to rule.

Population: The bulk of Taranis' servants are soldiers of some sort. Being drawn from what remains of his fleet, it is a highly militarized society where everyone is expected to fight and die in the name of their god. Over 1.5 million Kotra warriors have survived the uncontrolled hyperspace journey and three times that number of Dregaan slaves are also present in Taranis' fleet. Each Kotra warrior contains a sliver of Taranis' essence that, if left to mature, could result in another Star God arising, but, for the moment, Taranis is the only one of his kind in this galaxy.

Number of Planets and Systems: Taranis will seek to establish a power base for himself, but he presently rules from his flagship, the Hand of Taranis. It is an immense craft nearly a thousand miles in diameter that serves as a roving space station for the Star God's fleet. Along with it, Taranis has access to over three dozen Dregaan Motherships, large vessels that contain housing for several thousand soldiers and their attendants as well as drones, bombers, fighters, atmospheric warheads, and all the necessary tools for space battles or planetary invasions. These vessels can notable land on planets where they form veritable city-fortresses. It is a small force compared to what Taranis used to possess, but he intends on growing it by any means necessary.

Number of ships: 1 flagship, 38 motherships, roughly 400,000 manned attack crafts with various configurations.

Alignment: Evil. Though Taranis is capable of reason, he has been a despotic ruler for thousands of years and never truly faced defeat. He is shrewd enough to recognize his own failings, but rarely admits to them. He can be dealt with on diplomatic terms, but it would be hard to force him to deal with anyone as an equal.

Technology level: Between tier 3 and tier 1. Taranis himself comes from a species that could conceivably be of tier 1 status and his eons of existence leave him in quite a unique position in terms of knowledge and technologies. But the arrogant desire to rule that results from the physical form he and his fellow Star Gods have employed for millennia have left him much diminished and reliant on several technologies and artifices. In fact, an obsession of his is in researching a way to return to his incorporeal state while maintaining the power he has accrued on physical beings. At the present, the death of his host and destruction of his flagship would probably end him, a fate he wishes to avoid Also, as a singular individual attempting to lord over masses, he is often not in a position to employ all of his arcane technological knowledge on a mass scale. Therefore, the Godfleet itself has a technological level closer to tier 2. Multiple singularity drives power their ships, they possess quantum energy shields, warp-based cloaking technologies and nanobots to repair bulkheads. The fleet moves around by mapping hyperspace lanes. This leaves its long range movement crippled in its new environment until it can acquire more information or explore this new galaxy. It's low numbers and severe state of disrepair also severely reduce its ability to project force, therefore, unless it meets a foe en masse, it is closer to tier 3. It is also noteworthy that many of their technologies are meant to counter their usual foes which employ similar devices. Their defenses against energy weapons are great, but much less effective against conventional arms. And adapting to new circumstances is not their forte.
