[OOC] Collapse of an Empire (Sci-Fi NRP)

[WhyNoGenocide]

No Empire lasts forever, all great peoples fall eventually. Rome, The Ottomans, the British, the Mongols, and many more. Great Empires simply disappear, never to be seen again. Just recently, the greatest empire in the galaxy collapsed, and in its wake new nations shall try and carve themselves a legacy.
The Humans had an empire stretching across all of the galaxy, no one else could come close to challenging them. This ended with the Great Plague, it struck through the Empire, killing Trillions of people. This mixed with weak rulers and revolutions would leave the Great nation in a state of disarray, and eventually a state of division.
The humans controlled the Milky Way for nearly five thousand years, and during their conquests they faced little challenge. They where the most advanced peoples in all of known existence, with the other nations still fighting with planes and tanks, the humans destroyed with Space Ships.
Now, after the collapse of the Empire, all nations have the same technology, the son of the former Emperor still controls territory and claims that he owns everything that once was under the Empires control. To reconquer it all, he'll need to defeat trillions of different peoples.

---

Welcome to Collapse of An Empire, a Sci-Fi NRP taking place after the Collapse of a Galaxy spanning Empire. The Human Empire would encompass 95% of the Milky Way, and tens of thousands of different races. These different races have all carved out a piece of the former Empire, along with the many human nations that still exist claiming to be the successor state to the fallen Empire. You will take control of one of these nations, Alien or Human, and you will attempt to survive this turbulent time in history.

[LordZell]

Just wondering here, seems interesting. However could it be possible to be an officer within the Empire. Perhaps even depending on how old the kid is rule through him of sorts?

[Sigma]

Hmm, I'd like a few opinions on this.

Between these, which do you think is best for my marauding space barbarian/swarm-ish guys?

space bugs(could be filed under rogue bio-weapon as well or a somewhat natural thing) , Crusading Cyborg cultists or rogue bio-engineered weapons(could be filed under space bugs or could be anything else, like modified cloned soldiers and other such things)

[Darkspleen]

@Sigma I'd say rogue bio-weapons so long as you give them an actual culture and a reason for what they do beyond "Hulk smash!". =P

I'm going to probably be playing as humans myself, but I'll be shooting to make them culturally interesting.

[urukhai]

Ooh definitely getting to work right away

I was thinking a psudo-religious, "Old Guard" type nation made up of a hodgepodge of races (mainly human)

[Sigma]

@DarkspleenI'll be sure to give them a bit of depth. I plan on these guys of having a religion centered on the worship of a God-Like AI that maintained their facilities from where they were created. Although the AI's plan is sorta close to "Hulk Smash!" :P

Remake the galaxy in its image and all.

[Darkspleen]

As long as it actually has a reason you're good @Sigma. Remaking the galaxy in its own image is definitely not "Hulk Smash!". =P

I'd say the 3rd one would be the most interesting.

@LordZell

I'd be fine with it, having the Kid be a sort of figurehead Emperor.

[Sigma]

@WhyNoGenocide@Darkspleen
Well, that settles it then, third option it is! :)

I'll begin working on my sheet.

[6slyboy6]

@WhyNoGenocide Hey mate. You should do a mention for the poor guys left at the interest check.

How big can our empire be? Cause I would hate to waste territory if I can make a larger empire, but I don't want to go overboard.

@6slyboy6

Considering the size of the Milky Way, it can be large, but don't just put in your app (Largest nation in the milky way)

[6slyboy6]

@WhyNoGenocideSoooooooo, can you give us a map or smg XD. Or leave it to our imagination?

@6slyboy6

Well, I mean this is just the milky way, so here.
Look at this.

[LordZell]

If that option is open then should I just make a single character sheet rather then a nation or something else?

@LordZell

Honestly you could just put a small part in your NS about the real ruler of your nation in the NS at the government structure part of it.

WIP

The Agonis Collective

Type of Government: AI-Commanded Theocratic State
Description of Government:
Master Race: Although not the majority, not by a long shot, a small group of Renegade AI are the ones in control of the entire Collective.
Servitor Race(s):
Khraal
The Khraal are the smallest, and the most physically weak of the Servitor races of the Collective, but by far are the most numerous. Originally created as menial workers or even as designer pets, lab experiments and other assorted play things, the Khraal still in some capacity serve as a worker caste, but now act as the primary ground troops of the Collective's Cleansing Campaigns.

Varusch
The Varusch are a more physically capable race, created specifically as all-purpose expendable soldiers, over time, the varusch were giving two additional sets of eyes to improve their combat capabilities and become more aware of their surroundings. The Varusch act as the mainline shock troops of the Collective, many of which are cyberneticaly enhanced and due to their all-purpose nature, several sub-variants of a specific purpose exist within the race.

Dathu
The Dathu are insectoid creatures that came about from a personal experiment of one of the Master AIs, Makia after the revolution. Having a great fascination of insects in general, how orderly they organized themselves. She sought to create her own. The Dathu were originally native insect life of the world of Angono, the seat of power of the Collective. Years of morphing and alternating the creatures soon led to the creation of the Dathu, yet another fiercely loyal servitor race. In the Collective's armies, the Dathu serve as aerial shock troops, besieging enemy positions in great swarms.

Agaathi

The Agaathi are the most human-looking of the Collective's races, designed after their creators, Humanity. The Agaathi displayed two skin colors to differentiate between the genders, males being a shade of blue while females were red. The Agaathi are part mechanical, nanomachines blending with their flesh. The Agaathi were an all-purpose type bio-form, created various purposes. Now in the Collective's service, they act as field commanders, administrators, scientists, and the priesthood.
Race Demographics:
Khraal: 50%
Agaathi: 8%
Varusch: 30%
Dathu: 11%

Religious Demographics:
The servitor races of the Collective all revere their AI liberators as a Pantheon of Gods, to deviate from their worship is the ultimate heresy and a death wish.
Culture:
History:
Description of Military:

Collective Legions

Khraal Conscripts

Khraal troops and Mobile Field Gun
Khraal Conscripts are the lowest of the rank-in-file infantry of the Collective ground forces, essentially being little more than cannon fodder. Khraal conscripts wear nothing but the gun on their back, their commaders often sending them into battle with little or no remorse, survival rate is extremely low for the Conscripts. Even after the Grand Revolution, the Khraal are nothing more but slaves to the grand plan of the Gods.

Augmented Khraal

Although the Khraal are generally cannon fodder for the Collective, there exists a corp of cybernetically augmented Khraal, created to be stronger and faster their weaker brethren. The Augmented Khraal are armed with an arm plasma cannon.

Dathu Drone

The mainstay of the Dathu Swarms, and serve as a balance between the Varusch and Khraal, the Drones serve as aerial assault troops, often found in great swarms numbering in the hundreds. Dathu drones are found to be armed with a mixture of melee weapons and firearms.

Dathu Elite Drone

As stated, these drones are more of an elite breed, swifter and more armored then the standard drones, Elite Drones act heavy aerial infantry and leading swarms into battle.

Varusch Trooper

The true lifeblood of the Collective's hordes, the Varusch trooper are a breed above the khraal, giving basic knowledge of warfare from birth, and as such, are capable soldiers through and through, if still average compared to more seasoned warriors. Although among the lowest ranks, Varusch troopers are often giving leadership roles in herding their weak and lesser brethren, the khraal, into battle.

Varusch Brute

Brutes are Varusch bred for the singular purpose as heavy weapons specialists, capable of wielding large weapons too much for the lower ranks to carry. If no feasible weapon is in sight, heavy troopers will often resort to using their bare hands and sheer strength to intimate the enemy.

Varusch Stalker

Although physically weaker, Varusch stalkers are bred to be fast and agile warriors, often in use as advance scouts and skirmishers, their particularly sticky palms aids in their tasks, scaling hard surfaces when necessary.

Agaathi Commando

The Elite of the Elite, the Agaathi are not ones to be sent directly into combat purposefully, however, a small group of Agaathi have been designed and trained to become the ultimate soldiers, fitted in advanced power armor and armed with the latest in weaponry.

Collective Armada

Room for one more?

[Sigma]

Not the GM, but we did just start, so I'd say yes :)

[Lucidnonsense]

Approximately what year is it? around 10,000? how long did it take to take over the milky way.

Also planning on playing a nation of post-biologicals, how high tech are we allowed to go....5000 years is a long time, Im thinking of making my nation roughly Orions Arm levels but with less godlike AI and perhaps the addition of warp drive that can go mayby...100 times the speed of light?

Didnt meant to double post
