[OOC] My Emperor, The Galaxy Is Yours For The Taking (Space Opera NRP)

[Darkspleen]

Hmm... Well a war between our two countries 20-30 years ago could have been part of what helped my fascists come into power. The short (and not fully in stone) history of my country is that the Humanity United (name subject to change) party started to rise in power around 30 years ago. This was, in part, in response to the crown granting xenos some rights, including partial citizenship. Around 10-20 years ago Humanity United had essentially taken control of the government away from the crown. Things have been going downhill from there as they have tried to spread their influence throughout the military and various planetary/system governments with varying degrees of success.

@Darkspleen

They could have played the "Strong government to protect the nation" card, yeah. And now that my nation is out of its self-imposed isolation they could start clashing over the smaller planets/factions between them.

As a matter of fact, half of my first post is the State helping a coup in a random planet.

[Isotope]

Where are the relative positions of y'all btw?

[Sigma]

@Isotope Here's a Map with Serp's location

Map

I would assume most human nations are clustered in that general area, with Xeno and other nations set up around it or are way off. Also to note that there's a big ol belt of NPC states wedged between the Terran and Xeno players.

[Isotope]

Ah, in that case I'm probably in the outer arm around 150° (which I think is the direction of Aries, if not the actual stars of it).

[Ekreture]

@Sigma Damn how'd serp make that?

[Sigma]

@Ekreture Not quite sure of it, Looks kinda like it's done with something basic like Paint.

[CaptainBritton]

The Sovereignty would probably be somewhere near the Dathu.

[Ekreture]

@Isotope Well I guess to answer your question, The Gaia Republic would sort of make up the space between the Sun and the Federation, and some of the space between the Orion spur and the Perseus Arm...as well as a few asteroid belts all over the galaxy.

[Serpentine88]

@Isotope The Terran Federation probably would have tried to meddle to halt the coup, but obviously failed (Similar to how the British tried to keep the Russian Empire in WW1 but failed). They would see your nation as being led by crypto-xeno lovers for pulling out of the wars.

PLAYERS THAT NEED TO POST IC FOR CONFERENCE TO GO AHEAD:
-@The Spectre
-@Sigma
-Some other terran faction, probably @Ekreture

@Sigma

is the "Terran Federation" your territory @Serpentine88 or do every terran nation should be in that particular location?

[Oraculum]

Also, to whomever might be concerned:

From tomorrow, I shall be unable to post for a period - probably a mere few days, though, depending on the circumstances, I may be delayed somewhat longer. If all proceeds without complications and the role-play advances at its current pace, I should be back in time to join the conference; if not, however, do not let my absence delay you (in the unlikely case anyone had entertained such a thought) - I shall rejoin the flow of events at whatever point it should have reached.
In the meantime, be well.

[6slyboy6]

I feel like I should post.

But I feel sick still :(

[Ekreture]

@Serpentine88 I'm waiting to post until Sigma massacres some of my colonists...it'd be kind of pointless until then. But uh...do you mind looking at my characters real quick and telling me whether you think Cincinnatus or President Parsons would receive a warmer welcome in the Federation? One of them I'm sending to the Federation to try and get military support and one I'm sending to the peace talks on a ship full of pilgrims and missionaries.

[Isotope]

@Serpentine88@Sigma

Threw up my history and posted to the char tab as requested.

If you guys could verify my history as being consistent with the lore that'd be shveet.

[Sigma]

@Isotope Yup, looks all good with me.

[Sigma]

@Ekreture@Serpentine88@CaptainBritton@WrongEndoftheRainbow
Alright guys, my post is up!

[Ekreture]

@Sigma It looks good, I'll get stared on my post...but since this'll be my first post on this website, any tips before I do? And how much of the Dathu fleet would the colonists be allowed to destroy?

[Sigma]

@Ekreture I guess it depends what the colonists have, also to note that the Dathu fleet is mostly made up of light warships, with a few big capital ships, including a supercarrier leading it.

But of course, make sure to have fun writing out the early stages of battle :)

[Darkspleen]

@Drunken Conquistador So are we going with your peeps attempting a failed invasion of my country 30 years ago?
