Faction Name:
The Solar Empire.
Faction Type:
Facist Empire.
Species:
Claudians (350 billion): A human sub-species which slightly deverges from the main human path.
These differences include:
-Highly sensitive eyes who see through night vision, ultra violet and infra-red, they are however incredibly sensetive to any sort of visible light form.
-Highly sensitive organs, whilst they perform at a greater rate and ability they are incredibly weak in comparison and are prone to intoxication from breathable air.
The average Claudian is weaker than a human unassisted.
-Due to their close proximity to death through the range of their entire existance their ability to think and improve on what they have are incredible, therefor their intelligence is at an average much higher than that of a human due to their constant near-extinction history.
-Like previously stated, due to the Claudian innovation they have learned to become great personalities far before their supposed time, by that I don't mean kind people but rather a person who seeks power, their personalities are that of fanatic power dreamers able to cross someone at an instant if given the chance.
Scale and Territory:
Advanced Interstellar.
The Solar Empire holds a rather large number of solar systems in their grasp. The occupation or colonization of these solar systems have contributed to the continued production abilities of the Empires massive production fleets, factories and mines. The only thing keeping the Empire together is it's access to minerals and resources of value to help produce equipment of any purpose. This equates to the fact that the inner solar systems are completely emptied except for the holy Solestus star system which is the religious heart of the Solar Empire, even though the planets are completely occupied by abandoned factories and mines who have long since completely dug the resources out of the planet.
The expand and utilise tactic has been religiously fortified by Solestus' son: Calstus whom rulest the entire empire as the Emperor of the Solar Empire. Whilst he holds supreme power he is mostly located onboard the solar ring: Calsium X which is the Solar Empires hub of anything of importance except military affairs.
The Empire mostly lives in space whilst their major factories and mines are located on planets, the use of factory ships are however also a viable means. Due to these means the only things that are left on abandoned planets are the hulking derelicts of massive factory super cities who span continents and sometimes even an entire planets scale, now most of them stand silent as the Solar Empire reaches into it's final stages.
Culture:
The typical culture of the Solar Empire is what you would imagine if a mining corporation was given the entire population as a working force whilst having the ability to completely utilize an entire planets material for production. The means of money isn't involved in this equation, however. Whilst money exists it isn't involved in the production since the products are given out to the military if it was produced amongst a factory fleet or given to the orbital or space bound mega-colonies where it would then be distributed for money to people who didn't work to recieve this product.
It's basically like this: If you were involved in the making of this product you will recieve one of the many, whilst recieving money for working in the factories and mines, of course. Due to the un-objected ban of artificial intelligence of independent abilities during the almost collapse of the entire race during it's times of basic interstellar abilities, due to this the labour force has to be of biological origins which forces the Solar Empire to either have no worker and gain no profit or give much to gain more in the long run.
Since any Claudian is vulnerable to visible light the massive mega-colonies of the Solar Empire are heavily armored and let's no visible light penetrate into the sanctums of the colony which holds endless amounts of Claudians performing everyday activities, soldiers and anyone involved in the military are forced to use protective armor and head-gear to protect them from the light of the outside world.
Governing:
The ways of governing that the Solar Empire uses are that of a dictatorship where power is distributed from the Emperor to selected individuals who hold equal power in respective to their sector of rule.
- The Emperor rules everything and overrides the power of others, he is also the prophet of Solestus and it's son.
- The Governing Calceon is the man who holds power over all military branches, industry, army, navy, special forces, everything. He inturn choses who govern these sub-sections and they chose who will rule over their sub-sections.
- Prophet of Solest is the title given to the religious head of the entire Solar Empire, he often accompanies the military amongst his small Catheol fleet of religious cluster ships whom hold the elite military of the Solar Empire, the Catheon Cuh. (Solar Warrior) The Prophet also rules over all the churches in the mega-colonies.
- Thandruin is the 'name' of the lord who holds an iron hand over the industrial area of the entire empire, the name is actually a title which has been given to the best person who fits into this role, the Industrial Lord has ability to take over command of any military force unless the Calceon is in commanding controll of these soldiers.
History:
The Begining
It is widely believed that during the begining there was the gates of nothing, the gates unleashed everything and with it came Solestus, the eternal star. This star is the father of everything and forger of all materials. This star was the greatest light which came from the gates of nothing. During the raging first eons and millenium of everything there was a battle between Solestus and Solest, it's twin sister star which used to orbit in harmony, in a dance of grandeur and beauty. They collided and deformed each other, in the end Solestus won the war and solest was devoured and absorbed by Solestus. This occured during the time where an exoplanet by the name of Mercium was headed towards the solar system. Solestus and Solest devoured each other and Mercium's spirit feared the bright light of the battle, it was scarred barren during the intense battle and was kept in the solar system against it's own will.
Mercium cursed itself: ''The greatest race which will come from my surface shall suffer the blindness which i was gifted, it won't see the beauty of Solestus and it therefor will not see it's shame either.'' Although barren the planet was still a great target for meteors and asteroids of any kind. Many of these brought the necessary tools for the creation of life and within a couple of million years into the future life began to grow.
Claudian evolution and important events
The Claudian ancestors has been proven to be that of an Apacus, a humanoid being which lives in jungle areas with plenty of water, it advanced from there and has evolved through seventeen seperate species in total, six of these seventeen specieses have produced structures.
Solar Calender: 1.
The Claudian calender starts during the first solar flare of Solestus which had been recorded at that time, it was the heaven's strike and a large procent of Mercium had been targeted and ended up destroying a large part of the eastern continent of Artheum, it almost boiled away the waters, thankfully the Claudians were able to adapt and escape below ground. two species had passed underground and it was here that the eyes evolved from and never disapeared.
Solar Calender: 5133.
It was this date where the battle between Claudian and machine occured. After numerous other near extinction events occured this was the first man-made one of importance. The battle between machine (Occurus) and Claudian raged through the entire solar system of Solestus, it raged for several generations and there are still some derelict Occurus factions in the Solestus solar system whom hold no real power, they are a sort of troublesome small terrorist faction.
Solar Calender: 7319.
The Planet Extinction Incident occured on this year. On the former mining planet of Kraxum XVII there had been an incident with an experimental science division which was positioned there to perform an analysis of the then unknown material of Xalium 17 which is now used in the many weapons of the Solar Empire. They somehow managed ignite the material in it's raw form which ended up in a terrifying chain explosion which, well, it ended with mass evacuation of the entire planet. Due to Xalium radiation it's remained uninhabited until now when a Solest cluster ship will escort a group of scientists to perform tests on the planet.
Xalium radiation is a powerful sort of radiation surprisingly stronger than even solar radiation, it comes from the explosive detonation of material Xalium 17. Xalium radiation is a nigh visible radiation which, just like normal radiation, pierces through skin and affects the body, Xalium radiation can pierce armor and it also affects the body with almost instant consequences.
Solar Calender: 8613.
Commonly known as the Age of Answers, why? Because the answers of technological questions were answered. Due to the incident at Kraxum the tests of Xalium radiation had proven that it can be applied to power generating purpose, as well as many other areas of operation like combat and even as a religious object.
Due to Xalium 17's rarity and the fact that Kraxum was the nr. 1 provider of the material plans for repopulation are planned for years 11689 where the Xalium Radiation would be weakest in comparison to earlier dates. The extreme value of Xalium 17 had become an issue and incredibly troublesome transport routes had been set up with several powerful monasteries patrolling the transport routes along with Imperial Navy Dreadnought's and their fleets.
Later that year it was discovered that Xalium radiation had an extra-planetary effect and had supposedly increased the solar weather of Kraxum's star: Klaucrum to enourmous degrees, the date to re-inhabit Kraxum had been re-estimated to 9866, an incredibly optimistic estimation.
Star Calender: 11689.
Kraxum had yet to be reinhabited and the only thing that had gone into the solar system had been the trade defence fleet's under the religious command of Catheon Cuh warriors in the defence of the massive Xalium transports. One exception is the new research facility in Kracrum orbit. It's supposed to investigate the effect's of Xalium radiation on celestial objects like stars and the neighboring gas giants: Zeta and Kromus who had both been recolored due to Xalium radiation and many previous elements who seemed to exist in the thick gas had seemingly disapeared and given way to the thick, golden like mist which Xalium radiation seemed to produce when in contact with a combination of 6 rare elements, this hinted to a core existing on Zeta and Kromus with the 6 elements present.
A hundred years later the research station was complete and research gave results almost instantly. The effects of Xalium radiation seemed to be super heating, basically increasing the heat of already hot objects, like the sun. Other effects could not be found except the obvious anti-biological one where it seemingly burns biological objects from the inside out. The first weaponized element Xa17 bombs were also tested on this facility, they showed incredible results, but it's far from commercially avalible and remains at a prototype stage even now, the Xa17 element seemingly holds as much posibilities and dark matter and anti-matter.
Star Calender: 11986.
The Solest Halo is finally complete and seemingly instantly becomes the center of all life in the Solar Empire. The Solest Halo is a ring like object which spans the entire orbit of Solestus, the religious star icon of the Solar Empire, it uses the then prototypal Xalium 18 anti-matter reactor, now a derelict of the greatest mind of the Solar Empire, then supposedly one of seven who would power the entire empire for fifty thousand years and fifty milion more.
Element Xa18 (Xalium 18) was discovered in the Kracrum research station as a biproduct of a test launch of the prototypal Xa17 Imperator bomb, the element was discovered by the Emperor himself during a visit to the weapons testing of the research station and the Crux Proffess Rax Ralexus reproduced the element in a lab through a 'miniature' Xa17 explosion. He then proceded to begin the Galactus Polerium plan which would give the Solar Empire enough power to survive for milions of years. He disapeared after the production and installation of the first Xa18 anti-matter reactor, however.
Xalium 18 had the properties to negate and ignore matter to an extent, it had warp capabilities and the posibility to transport energy over long ranges, through the use of Xa18 energy radiation 'sails' the empire would be powered by family of seven incredibly powerful reactors, now the empire uses it's one Xa18 anti-matter reactor to power the Catheon Cuh monastery ships and their fortress mobile fortress Catheum whilst powering the Solest Halo.
Since the secrets of Xalium 18 disapeared with the Crux proffess, the head of science, element Xa18 has yet to be remade and is still a mystery in normal eyes. The Emperor who had seen it is long since dead aswell, so there are none whom could have seen these secrets.
Star Calender: 12713.
Five hundred years into the past, the first Xalium 17 'weapon' was produced, not truly a weapon that shoots Xalium 17 yet it is a weapon powered by the element which has now been able to be reproduced in labs and some manufacturing plants. The Xalium 17 weapon uses the Xalium 17 energy supply to 'wirelessly' use the energy which the average soldier uses to power is protective armor and shoot it out through the weapon in the form of super charged ballistics, working like a handheld railgun which uses the energy particles of the mini fusion reactor which the soldier would have intergrated into his armor and shoot it out from his weapon, it was a very bothersome process and has since been simplified, however through the 'simplicity' of this system certain elements have been intergrated into the weapon, for example the radiation absorber which uses the radiation around the soldier to further power the weapon and therefor uses a 50/50 type of combination between radiation and suit power.
The fifth galactic incident occured during this year. A group of bandits and terrorists grouped together had managed to sneak past the supposedly 'unimpenetrable' blockade of the Solestus solar system and managed to sneak onto a space colony orbiting Mercium and managed to de-orbit the space station in a hostage job that ended up being a complete suicide for the bandit side. Due to the unnegotiable demands of the Solar Empire they were forced to stay in the colony untill it de-orbited with them in it, seven other incidents of similar works ended the same way, with the exception of two colonies whom seemingly just disapeared from all known existence.
Star Calender: 13200.
Current date of time, nothing of importance has happened except the evolution of already discovered technologies, Star Calender date is 13200, also known as Omega Star Time: 132.
Technology:
- Xalium 17 reactors.
The most optimal way of power in the eyes of the Solar Empire is the Xalium 17 method of super heating to the point of atomic dissapearance. During the complete destruction of the molecule of the Xalium 17 element incredible explosions perform and by drawing the tremendous energy from these explosions out of the explosion chamber and into the other parts of the reactor you could utilize these explosions for tremendous power generation.
- P.P.M.A. (Personal Protective Mobile Armor)
The P.P.M.A. is the answer of the individual Claudian soldier, due to their organic disabilities they have produced these protective armors known as P.P.M.A. and they protect the Claudian warrior from weather, space, water, air and light. Their weakness is their unability to cope with high tempratures and a different set of armor is used during those situations. (P.P.M.A.U. U = Undkrium, which means evolution 2.)
- Depleted Xalium.
Depleted Xalium is a form of armorised Xalium 15, a downgraded, quick produce variant of Xalium 17. By reinforcing the atomic bonding with Xalium 17 and 15 you can produce Legius Xalium 66 which is an armor form of explosive qualities, basically it explodes when hit, by removing certain molecular bondings you can downgrade Legius Xalium 66 to Depleted Xalium or Nalegius Xalium 77. This serves as a powerful armor mostly placed on armored vehicles and and any ship the navy commandeers but it is also used on certain P.P.M.A.U. variants. Depleted Xalium can also be layered and when doing so (only used on space craft) it is transformed into up to 15 different classes of Depleted Xalium. Depleted Xalium Yx 1 is a layer of 10 and yx 2 is a layer of 15, etc.
- Cux99.
The element named after the first head of science, Rolez Cux. The element itself has named the system is is used by and has placed itself in the history books. Cux99 exists as a singular form of matter in a 'dimensional fold' called the void. Through the use of Cux99 you can power the C.U.X. (Celesti Univi Xulirian) device and fold between dimension, working sort of like a 'controlable' warp gate. The C.U.X. controls the dimensional fold nicknamed void and uses this fold control to transport the vessel or object across space, the C.U.X. is also said to be installed on the Solest Halo as an escape mechanism, being able to hide in the void for long periods of time. Due to Xalium 17 limitations in comparison to Xalium 18 reactors the transportation is far more limited due to the incredibly lesser amounts of power generated.
- Anti-matter.
During the production of xalium 17 anti-matter had been the way of power generation, however it has now been transformed into the almost strongest weapon in the Imperial Navy's arsenal.
Military Forces:Current:
15 billion.
Full mobilization:
58 billion.
Quick overview:
The military itself is put into five different groups, Navy, Army, Special Forces, Mobile Factorial Command and Stratos Blitz forces. These sub-sections of the military are all under the supreme command of the Governing Calceon and should follow his every word if they'd wish to remain as fortunate as they are. Whilst the military life isn't bad at all for the average soldier it is when you start to disagree with the system and lifestyle of the Solar Empire that you start getting into unknown and unofficial parts of Military Command. If you'd want to join the military the greatest tip that anyone could follow would be 'Don't question.' Of course no one officially says it out right because they live in a supreme facist empire.
Navy:Also known as the Imperial Navy. The navy is the figure head of the Solar Empires might, the Imperial Navy haven't produced shields for any other reason than shield vacuum or light away and therefor don't currently use ship shielding technology, however their ship's armor more than make up for what they lack in both speed and shielding with armor and weaponry.
The Imperial Navy's flagship is the Thorium Hammer and has supposedly cracked a small moon into bits with a single volley, of course it stands guard in a low orbit around Solestus with the strongest heat shields of the entire Solar Empire, the Thorium Hammer act's as a firing platform as of now, however is fully able to break loose of it's 1000 years circlin Solestus given enough power.
Army:The army involves everything on the ground. The army can also be called the Mecleur which stands for Those who follow. Army soldiers are reorganized into 1600 different legions of remarkable size, the legions are spread out accordingly and their overall strenght reinforced during full mobilization. The army accompanies the navy in all aspects in their orbital assault transports.
The Army is too large to complete organize or manage, therefor it's size is estimated and not known.
Special Forces:Special forces are all those forces whom report directly to S.F.Com. They recieve the supposed suicide missions and pull them off, such like pre-invasion saboutages or assasinations of important leaderly figures. S.F. forces consist of three main categories:
- Saboutage.
- Assasination.
- Rescue.
Mobile Factorial Command:M.F.C. is the name of the central command structure that controls and rules over all the many factory ships that accompany every military fleet, atleast two or three per ships with seven or ten accompanying the three major fleets of the Solar Empire, these ships uses the material and resources of the Cargo transport ships whom accompany them to reinforce and resupply soldiers on the ground, they are often dropped of by navy dropships or simply dropped down via droppod. There are no particular limit to what a Factory vessel can produce and they are placed into different classes based on how much they can produce.
Stratos Blitz:The grand elite of the Military, the Stratos Blitz are the SEAL's and the Spetznaz of the Solar Empire, the Stratos Blitz use revolutionizing and daring tactics to gain the advantage over the enemy, whilst being equipped with the precisely best eqiuipment that the Solar Empire can offer. The Stratos Blitz operate seperately from the other military elements and use their 'black fleet' to completely stay off from radar of precisely everyone, they cannot be located unless they have somewhere to go and it is then that they appear and ambush with a devestating Blitz attack.
The Stratos Blitz are well equipped to take on both space and planetary dangers and have the strongest soldiers in the entire Solar Empire to perform their planetary invasions, support, or maybe even boarding enemy ships. One thing is clear however, they are the completely best warriors that the Imperial Military can offer. (Not including the religious forces)
The Stratos Blitz became well known for their stratos incertion tactic, deploying their soldiers in Blitz teams of 10 and incerting from space, through the atmospher and landing on the ground of strategical locations able to destroy and conquer anything by the time the land of the ground after a possible 1 million meter fall, or maybe even more.
