A quick update: I'll be working on getting the sheet skeleton and OCC up after lunch. I should have both ready to go in a few hours.
I beat you too it.
(Civilization/Faction name goes here!)
General Information
Overview
(Introduce your civilization here in brief, preferably one or a few paragraphs. You can also have an info sheet here about your basic stats like population, government type and so on.)
You don't outright require to make these but they are fun so here's a good example.
Official Name: (The full and official name of your civilization) Common Name: (How should we generally call your civ?) Government: (Categorize the type of your government, Empire, Constitutional Monarchy, Parliamentary Democracy, etc) Dominant Species: (What is your majority or at least ruling species in your civ?) Capital: (Your homeworld or place of your ruling government, say: Earth, Solar System) Systems Owned: (Optional, mostly there for smaller multi-stellar civs to give us an impression of their size) Planets Owned: (Optional, has a similar role as the one above. Again, meaningless after a certain size.) Population: (Kinda optional if you don't wish to think on big numbers, otherwise go ahead!)
History
(This is where you can tell us the tale of your glorious empire! History sections are neat to offer plot bunnies for other players to incorporate about your civ. On the other hand we aren't forcing anyone to make this extra detailed. Just write down what you find necessary here. Oh, and if you happen to write mini novels please put it inside hider tags to not bloat up the entire page. Thank you!)
Starmap Information
Galactic Location
(This is for the galaxy map with your location highlighted somehow. The galaxy is gigantic so even a small dot can mean a lot. Don't be discouraged by your size!)
Major Holdings
(This is kind of optional, you are given a chance to describe various places of interest. This can be a planet, star system or even entire star sector. Or even something else. Feel free to list them!)
Social Information
Demographics
(This is where you can describe the one or myriad of races inhabiting your glorious civilization. With multiple races you can also talk about demographics for real. What are your major races? Where do they live? And so on.)
Society
(Your unique civilization has unique society. What are the lives of your people be like? How are they thinking? Are there any social classes? Etc.)
Government
(Describe your government here in detail. If you use something generic or just feel like there isn't enough to say you can merge this with the Society section under "Government/Society" and describe both here.)
Technological Information
Technology Overview
(Describe your civilization's technology in general)
Major Techs
(Kinda optional section to describe your most important pieces of technology. If you think a simple overview above is enough, skip this.)
Industry
(Again, kinda optional. Do you wish to share with us how amazing your industry can be? This is the section for it! Major industrial methods, complexes and such can be also mentioned here.)
Military Information
Military Overview
(Describe your military in general. For a select few types of civs this might be alone enough.)
Space Forces
(Describe your space fleets in more detail. You can also list your important ship and other unit types but nobody is forcing you. But keep in mind, no Death Stars!) Navy Doctrine: How does your navy operate in a general sense? What are the strategies and tactics commonly employed? What design philosophies are used and how are the affected by your country’s strategies. In short: what can we expect to see from your country’s navy? Bonus points if you give your doctrine a real name such as fleet-in-being.
Ground Forces
(Describe your ground forces, too. This is especially important in this RP since ground/planetary combat will enjoy a spotlight. So we do suggest you to take extra attention to this section.)
Ground Doctrine: How do your ground forces operate in a general sense? What are the strategies and tactics commonly employed? What design philosophies are used and how are the affected by your country’s strategies. In short: what can we expect to see from your country’s ground forces? Bonus points if you give your doctrine a real name such as human wave.
Credit goes to Willy for actually making the sheet outline for us, and for those of you who don't know, click raw and copy paste the bbcode into docs and type it in that way so it's already formatted when you post it in guild! Thank you.
