“To war we march, for the glory of our families, and for the glory of the Empire.”
Species:
Romus Humans - When the initial colony ships crash landed on what was later to become New Rome, much of the equipment that was to assist in creating a livable environment was destroyed in the impact. Scientists aboard the ship with assistance of their labs created genetic modifications that would allow the human body to survive in the higher gravity of New Rome. This later with natural adaptation creating what today is the Romus Human, a stronger version of a normal human. The Scientists, against the orders of the Colony Leaders, also used gene modification to make Romus Humans more intelligent as well as more resistant to viruses, bacteria, and other toxins, although they have not acquired total immunity and there is a few notable diseases exclusive to Romus Humans.
Humans - Various human independent human colonies were taken control of by the New Roman Empire in their initial conquests.
Solusi - The first non-humans to fall prey to the ambitions of the New Romans, they are a cat-like race known for their sharp claws and prowess in combat. They usually reach at 6ft or slightly below it, and have varying coat colors and other details on their bodies. Prior to being absorbed into the Empire they were ruled by various separated clans made up into a loose confederacy. Each clan would have their elders pick a younger member of the clan to represent them on a Council of Clans.
Forsythe - The Forsythe were a semi hive-mind conquered by the Romans, and became a point of tension between the New Roman Empire and the Eternal Union. The hive-mind itself was merely a neural link that would enforce peace and truth between all Forsythe, and was also used as method of that allowed all Forsythe to discuss political issues, making the Forsythe into a successful direct-democracy. They were a bug-like race, with eight legs and were pure black. They had a stinger similar to a scorpion on their behinds and also had two more appendages equivalent to hands.
Description of government:
The New Roman Empire uses a system similar to the Roman Republic and the later the Roman Empire. It also borrows elements from various other governments from Earth. The Emperor, or Empress exists as the executive officer of the NRE and also acts as the Supreme Commander of the military. The Legislative branch consists of a Senate, consisting of citizens deemed worthy of Senator status who are then elected by full citizens. Areas for the elections are divided into different districts depending on population density. The Senate is also responsible for creating the courts so they also act as the Judicial body. The Senate suggest and votes on various laws, which can be vetoed by the Emperor in which case the law is called to vote by full citizens to be put into law. The Emperor also may create other Executive Offices to help manage the Empire and has a Cabinet of Ministers that act as his advisors on various sections of the Empire.
One other of matter importance to the governance is full citizenship. As certain matters pertaining to the government require one to be a full citizen, it has become a point of contention. Romus Humans are automatically full citizens(this excludes regular humans or other sub-races, as they considered inferior to the Romus Humans), and the only way to earn it is by 10 years of military service or making a great contribution to the Empire, usually by discovering a valuable new piece of technology or discovering a planet that has the potential to become a profitable colony.
Description of military:
The Roman military is divided into four divisions, each has its own overall leader but all are directed by Princeps Supremus, which acts as a secondary commander to the Emperor, usually being his Minister of War.
Malleus Imperii
The Milites Populi are the ground-based forces of the NRE. They operate with a wide variety of soldiers, synths, mechs, tanks, and vehicles. They are also responsible for flying non-space forces as well as the water-based navy.
Classis Imperii
The Classis Astrorum operates all the space-based forces of the Empire.
The Legions
The Legions are the supreme troops of the NRE, being deadly on the battlefield and also responsible for most special missions. They have their own unique vehicles and Synths, but share their rank system with the Milites Populi.
Imperial Intelligence
While not technically a part of the military, they do often use the military to their own ends. Imperial Intelligence was created by the Emperor in secret to act as his own personal military, secret police, and spy agency. They have been involved in gathering the data needed for key Roman Victories and maintain disorganized rank system. This makes it so if one cell is caught the rest of Imperial Intelligence and the other cells are not exposed.
Technological Overview
There are three substances that are a extremely important part of Roman technology or are frequently used within Roman tech. These are antimatter, Rominium, and Negative Energy. Antimatter is pretty much the staple in Rome as it used in a lot of weapons as well as a power source for most of Rome. Rominium was discovered in Precursor excavations and the named Rominium with the government claiming Roman Scientists had invented it. It is made using artificial means. Rominium acts as a powerful superconductor, and is used in all power lines within the Roman Empire. When blended with either tungsten or titanium, it is also an effective starship armor. Negative energy now only serves the purpose of powering anti-gravity devices, but it did power warp drives before the Romans switched to their Universal Jump drive. Romans also have magic, but it is currently very limited as it was discovered only recently.
The main form of FTL used by the New Roman Empire is what they refer to as a Universal Jump Drive. When traveling to another location there is a universe which acts a secondary one to whichever the Romans are located in at the time, and they they will travel through this universe to reach their location. This is one of the fastest forms of FTL known in the universe, but does have it’s own limitations. It requires a rather large amount of the ship’s current power production to activate the drive, so weapons are offline for about a minute after jump, depending on other systems within in the ship and the size of the reactor itself.
Antigravity uses negative energy, and it has given the Romans a very fine control over it. It has also been used to produce gravity on Roman ships. Within civilian areas the antigravity has been used to expand space and create flying cities, factories, and farms, as well as propel various transports. The military uses it mainly as their method of propelling planet-bound fighters and bombers, as well as giving water-naval ships the ability to transform into aircraft.
The Romans use a wide variety of defenses techs on both the ground and in space. As mentioned above the Romans use Rominium mixed with tungsten for bigger ships or Rominium with titanium for lighter ships as the main armor for space-bound vessels and stations. All stations and ships use shields, the shields can easily be shaped depending on the need of the vessel or station. All space-bound vessels and stations, with the exception of small craft, incorporate Faraday cages into their designs to protect from EMPs. Stealth-craft exist, but they are limited to a few frigates and smaller ships. Ground forces use exclusively titanium for armoring, with infantry having powered armor. All infantry have a small shield in their power armor, although it usually doesn’t last long under sustained fire unless the unit is an elite one with a better suit of power armor. Power armor also incorporates a wide variety of communication devices, with specialized stealth devices for some units meant to engage in special operations.
Weapons technology in space centers around antimatter and plasma. Antiproton beams are a common weapon larger ships, with ships that lack the space for them having accelerated projectile weapons that are tipped with antimatter, and a wide variety of antimatter missiles of varying payloads. Plasma cannons are used on most ships, and the only weapon that small craft have other older generation rail-guns or antimatter missiles. Ground forces have no antimatter missiles, and instead will use either high explosive missiles or tactical nukes if the situation calls for it. Other than the infantry as well as other vehicles use a mix of plasma and accelerated projectile weapons, as well as explosive weapons.
Nanobots are also used, mainly for medical purposes as well as for the implantation of certain augmentations. They are also used for fabricating electronics.
A.I has been developed for calculation and research purposes, but it has been shackled to prevent uprisings.
Memory Replacement and removal has also been developed, and is often used to flash train soldiers.
A huge part of Roman technological development is their cybernetic and genetic modification. They have both been developed extensively by Romans, and they are capable of extreme modification. While civilians are capable of getting cybernetics to an extent, genetic modification is much more limited for civilians, although it is often used on plants and animals to increase production heavily, which has given the Romans a great bounty of food. Cybernetics can also with the use of nanobots put nano-scale augmentations on systems that are not normally augmentable, such as the nervous system. Synthesis has also been developed which combines the two. With synthesis it is common to make what are called “true” synths. These are synths made from dead flesh with no living flesh, cybernetics are then incorporated and a shackled A.I added as a brain.
Cultural Overview:
The Romans have changed significantly in culture since their time on Earth and after the development of their own Empire and culture. A prominent note is that they have abandoned all other Earth Languages and exclusively use Latin, although records of translation matrixes and other Earth Languages are maintained on the chance that Earth survived Nuclear War, which they believe to have happened due to the their belief in the inferiority of the base human species.
In addition to adopting Latin, the Romans have also adopted old Roman and Greek architecture, as well as as the old Roman Gods, although a good percentage of Romans are agnostic or atheist. The Romans have begun using many old forms of art and writing style, which again come from the old Romans.
The Romans themselves have also become an Authoritarian society. While some civil liberties exist, they are small and usually not much. This is in part thought to be do to how eerily close the colonists who founded the Roman Empire were to fascism, but it seems they have drifted away from that throughout the history of the Empire, although with the creation of Imperial Intelligence it seems the Romans have once again begun drifting towards fascism. Oppression and discrimination against non-Romus Humans has also become a commonly accepted cultural practice. Some Romus Humans have been seeking to change both of these however, wanting for a Roman Republic and the dissolution of the Emperor office, as well as a tolerance of non-Romus Humans. Another group, while not seeking to destroy the Emperor’s office, does seek to make people more tolerant as well as make the NRE more honorable, although they have not been clear as to how they wish to do this.
The Humans who the Romans conquered were of Arab and Slavic descent, and thus show elements of those cultures as well as believing in Islam and Christianity respectively, although they are more modernized.
The Solusi have elements of Warrior and Ancestor worship, as well as having a very strong leaning towards honor through battle.
The Forsythe, do to their nature as hive-mind, don’t have much of a culture, but show many elements of the a greater good mindset.
History:
The history of the NRE begins with a secret mission launched in the last days of a pseudo-fascist nation who had gained control of Europe had idolized the old Romans and resurrected latin. This secret missions consisted of a few Colony ships using experimental FTL technology which were to be sent to a system with a habitable planets, however a failure in the drive caused the group of ships to land somewhere near the core, far away from Sol. With equipment destroyed the ships were forced to crash land on a nearby planet that their scanners had shown was livable.
From here the colonists learned of the higher gravity and caused some earlier issues, but with the labs aboard the ships genetic modification was carried out, and the Romus Humans were born. More was carried out as the colonists decided that is was likely they never contact Sol again, and even if they did reach it in the future, it would have been likely destroyed by Nuclear War. Thus they declared the formation of the New Roman Empire and christened the world they had landed on as New Rome.
From their the Romans rapidly rebuilt their society, using some cloning in the early days to rapidly expand their population. Soon they had rebuilt their ships and were expanding across the Golden System, which is what they had christened the resting place of New Rome. It was not long before they also discovered remnants of older Empires which had been in this system. It was these ruins that helped the fledgling Empire take control of the sector of space in which they rested.
It was not long before they discovered the colonies of other ships that had fled Earth, they easily took control of these as it was believed they had only arrived in this sector long after New Romans and thus had not been as well developed as the Romans. This is where the policies of discrimination against non-Romus Humans began.
Shortly after that as the non-Romus Humans continued to expand they met the Solusi who they saw as a wonderful opportunity to continue the growth of their Empire. It was during this war however the Romans contacted the Eternal Union. At this point the EU had absorbed, not through war but through diplomatic annexation, other human colonies as well as the Yordles. It was during the first contact that the Romans realized the EU would become a great threat to their power. The war with the end of the Solusi ended and one with the Forsythe began shortly after, that, the EU moved into stop the Romans but they were too late due to how small and weak the Forsythe were compared to the EU.
A period of almost cold war began between the EU and NRE. While the EU had the advantage of having superior shielding and armor tech to the Romans, as well have a strong magitech and being extremely knowledgeable about magic due to having it since they were first a civilization, the Roman’s access to well-trained forces and weapon technology were a considerable to the EU. The EU began seeking to create better defenses as well try to even the playing field when it came to weapons technology, while the Romans sought improve their defenses while trying to prevent the EU from getting the upper-hand with weapons.
The cold war continued for a few years until the Romans sent an invasion fleet to the last independent human colony in the sector. However, a EU Fleet arrived nearby, ordering the Romans to withdraw. The Romans, seeing their chance, fired upon both the EU and the humans. A brutal war started, with it at first looking up for the Romans, however the EU Generals and Admirals quickly adapted to the Roman’s strategies, and with new weapons being fitted onto ships and given to troops fights became bloody ordeals upon which there stood no clear victor. The War with the EU turned quickly to a stalemate, with both sides not being able to find anywhere to gain an advantage over the other. The EU, learning of the existence of the Precursors in the sector, also began searching for their tech to gain the advantage, with battles being fought over the ruins of the Precursors.
As the race for Precursor tech continued, both sides are turning to the International Community to find assistance to finally end the now decade long war.

The Milites Populi are the ground-based forces of the NRE. They operate with a wide variety of soldiers, synths, mechs, tanks, and vehicles. They are also responsible for flying non-space forces as well as the water-based navy.
Unlike the other divisions, the Milites Populi divides their units into three different areas. These are High Command, Field Command, and Ground Units. It is to be noted that the Ground units are also assigned a number, 1-10, in their rank to indicate their position to other members of that rank. Lower numbers are considered higher.
