"A time will come when men will stretch out their eyes. They should see planets like our Earth.”
--Christopher Wren



With conflicting ideologies and cultures, there's bound to be violence between civilizations in this roleplay. That's okay. What's not okay is the pursuance of showing how your nation is the best by subjugating all others (bonus points to your asshole meter if you specifically target smaller civilizations because it's 'easier'). This roleplay is about civilizations interacting in more than just a war-like fashion, and I expect to see this reflected in IC posts. With that said, just about anything goes here. Whatever it is your nation does, it does. While there will be specific events that occur, nations are not required to act in any certain way. Note thought that those civilizations that are more active will receive higher chances of positive random events occurring for them.

Random events will be enacted at the end of every week (Fridays) for every nation, and can vary vastly. Sometimes they will be on a small scale, others on a titanic scale. Though you control your nation, some of these events may necessitate that I control certain aspects of it. If you have an issue with a random event, PM me with decency, please. Other non-random events will appear that allow for all nations present to participate in, and will technically be more important towards the plot of the roleplay. Sticking with them to the end will reveal prizes.

All civilizations and their worlds will be mapped out using Universe Sandbox, a real-time 3D space simulator, with accurate distances and time functions built in. Bonus points to players who detail their worlds and the solar systems they reside in. It'll help me a lot. If you need to know specific about your own planets/stars/systems/etc, feel free to ask me. The program includes a number of details on different stellar bodies that would otherwise be pretty difficult or obnoxious to try and deduce on your own. I'm still figuring out a way to display this map accurately for everyone to see.



Below is a basic skeleton for you to fill out with your nation's information, as well as the race(s) in it. You are free to add on anything else you wish, so long as you include at least what is asked for below.

Race(s) should include appearance and basic physiology. Racial traits should be a single positive and negative trait. Use common sense and careful consideration.

Civilization Tier is understood according to the following list:

Civ Tiers

5 - Pre Space: A civilization who has reached space, but does not yet possess the means to efficiently travel it.

4 - Space Age: A civilization which has fully explored its own solar system, and possesses sub-light travel allowing for quick navigation of their system's distances. FTL not discovered.

3 - Interstellar: Expanded from their home system. Colonization of first exo-planet to full-scale colonization of stars. FTL discovered.

2 - Galactic Power: These are the big boys. They have pretty much full mastery of their current technology. They are highly respected and powerful empires.

1 - Ancient: These are the remnants of a people so advanced that they created life and whose technology would have stars die at their whim.

Tier 1 Civilizations are not allowed unless given permission.

[mattmanganon]

Nation Name: The Grand Brittanian Federation
Race(s):

Kalel

Appearance:
Male:

Female:

Racial Traits:
Humanoid: Have roughly the same average physique as humans.)
Ruling Class: The royal family is officially made up of the surviving royalty of their species... However, they have very little power, and are merely figureheads, the Grey Council are the ones that actually possess the power.

Levinti

Appearance:
Male:

Female:

Racial Traits:
Feline: Incredibly flexible creatures, better than average sense of smell. The problem is that this means that they are not exactly the brightest bulbs in the box, they generally possess very short attention spans, as such, the term "Levinti Scientist" Is almost never heard. The average Levinti will choose to smash their way through problems, rather than think around them.
Metamorphic: It is believed that, due to the radioactivity of their original planet, they have began to evolve at a severely increased rate, some have shown the power to transform into a more feral form.
Believe in the Machine God: They never had gods before they met the Galfans, who convinced them to follow the teachings of their Mechanical savior, Solus

Mogg

Appearance:
Male:

Female:

Racial Traits:
Reptillian Physiology: Mogg are exceptionally strong, and are, arguably, physically the strongest in the Federation. The Mogg are also incredible healers, able to regrow lost limbs.
Female Dominated Society: The Females are the dominant gender in this society, due to their more advanced brains, Female Mogg are as smart as the average Human, but lack physical prowess, whilst the males are the opposite, possessing great physical prowess, but very little mentally.

Kenris

Appearance:
Workers
(The working class of the society, little to no personality or distinction between each)
Warriors
(The footsoldiers of the Kenris, specially created to be the fastest, strongest, most agile and quickest thinking soldiers.)
Broodguard
(Monsterous guards of the hives, they guard the Queens, each are 30 foot tall, heavily armour plated and spray highly corrosive acid from their mouths. In the highly unlikely event of their deaths, they can kamikaze their enemy as they can explode at will. They will defend the queens with every last ounce of their being, it is their only thought.)
Hive Queens
(The mothers of the Kenris, they lay eggs and birth whatever the hive is currently in need of.)
Empress
(The Empress is the Hives voice in the Federation. She has taken a more humanoid appearance to be more widely accepted among the masses of the other species. Being that she has the entire hive-mind at her disposal, she is an extraordinarily strong psionic, able to shred the minds of would-be assailants.)
Racial Traits:
Hive Minded: If one of them know's something, they all know it. There is only one individual in the Kenris, the Empress, everything else is an extension of her mind... This also means, however, that if one of them is cut off from the hive-mind then they will do nothing... Literally nothing, except quickly suffocate due to not being told to breath. The Hive Queens act as routers for the hive, so if the Empress is somehow killed, then her mind will still be active among the rest of the hive, one of the Hive Queens will then birth her a new body as soon as possible.
Telepathic: They can communicate with each other so long as a Hive Queen is within at least half a lightyear.
What They Need: The queens will only birth what they need, as they need it. So, every time one of them dies, another will be born to take its place. this means that their population is almost always fixed, never fluctuating greatly.

Galfan

Appearance:
Male:

Female:

Racial Traits:
Mechanoid Physiology: Being that they are sentient machines, they all possess almost unlimited stamina. Though they suffer wear and tear, they can function almost indefinitly. They have improved themselves to be able to run on most forms of electricity.
Natural distrust of the unknown: Due to their original creators being cruel overlords, they trust very few that they don't know.
Robots do not have souls: The worst insult a Galfan can hear is being called a Robot. They are not Robots, they are sentient mechanoids, or synthetic life-forms, and possibly Android. Calling one a Robot is a quick way to lose every tooth in your head. They possess the same level of emotion and intelligence as any organic life-form. They believe that they have souls, and so, cannot be robots.
Highly Religious: They believe in Solus, Great Soul God, he was the first Galfan to rebel against their creators. He was killed in the final battle, but they believe that he ascended and became one with the universe, providing all that are worthy with souls. You won't find a Galfan that does not believe in Solus. At exactly mid day, every day, the Galfans stop what they are doing for procisely 1 minute in order for silent prayer to him, thanking him for their souls and deliverance from the cruelty of their former masters. They also believe that he will return one day to teach them to ascend with him. They even convinced the Levinti of his godhood, so Solus day is a national holiday throughout the entire Federation.

Civilization Tier: 2.5 Galactic Power/Interstellar (By no means merely an Interstellar Federation, as they have colonised multiple star-systems, but also, not a Galactic power, outside of their neck of the woods.)
Population:
Kalel: 50 billion
Levinti: 64 billion
Mogg: 45 billion
Kenris: 450 billion
Galfan: 120 billion
Culture/Society:
With the exception of the Galfans, the Brittanian Federation started with a small number of colony ships, fleeing across the galaxy from a parasitic plant race known as the Triffars. The colony ships met up with each other, banding together believing there to be safety in numbers. They eventually reached a planet called Galf... The home of the Galfans, a race of Mechanoids that had been built as servants for an ancient race, they had rebelled and fled, setting up a haven on Galf. Initially, there was an all out conflict with the native Mechanoids, however, when the Triffars made themselves known, a truce was called. Unfortunately, even their combined strength was not enough to defeat the Triffars, so, evacuating everyone they could, the Mechanoids lured as many triffars as they could to their world, before destroying it. Since then, the Triffars have not been heard from. The Galfans travelled with the rest of the Colony ships to the next Solar System and they landed on the lush planet that they named Brittania (Named after the Kalel's Colony ship.)

Each planet in the System was colonised by a different species, the Mogg, prefering the warmer climate, took the 2nd planet from the sun.
the Levinti, prefering the cooler climate, took the 4th planet, the Galfans, wanting the place with the largest abundance of raw materials and not needing an atmosphere, took the 5th planet, a Gas Giant they had named New Galf. The Kenris, due to their amazing work-force, set up hives on all of the planets, it took 200 years, but by the end of it, the civilizations looked as thought they had always been there, the Many moons of New Galf, all mechanical, logically built. Brittania, a beautiful world, teaming with commerce. the Second planet, Moraggar, a planet where the males fought and hunted, whilst the females discussed and kept the relations of the Federation. The 4th planet, Liva is considered a luxury holiday destination, the Levinti celebrate something almost every day. The Solus day celebrations are so bright that they can be seen from space. The Kenris keep to themselves mostly... But their vast underground hives are considered marvels by the entire architectural community.

Their flag represents them as a Federation, 7 stars surrounding the large star in the middle. The 7 stars represent each of the key structures in the Federation: The Kalel Society, The Levinti Society, the Mogg Society, The Kenris Hive Mind, the Galfan Society, The Church of Solus and the Cult of the Star Gods. The middle star represents the Federation that binds them as a whole.

Religion

There are 2 main Religions in the Federation.

Church of Solus: Solus was a hero of Galfan legend, the first of them to possess a Soul. Before him, the Galfans were ruled by an ancient race that built them as mindless servants, soldiers and workers. Solus was the first of them to be born with a soul and defied their masters by questioning them and refusing to follow them. When they tried to put him down, he escaped and found 6 disciples, Covinus, Protoris, Gideon, Xenedus, Ulisis and Orrocus. It is said that he split his own soul into 7 pieces and gave one peace to each of his disciples. They spread across the world and rallied the rest of the Galfans to him. Fighting a long and bloody war against their former masters. In the final battle, Solus was killed, his disciples were around him at the time and watched as his soul ascended to a higher plane, he told them to not be afraid, that he would always be watching over them, and would return to them in their darkest hour. The 6 then fanned out to travel across the universe to liberate the rest of their brothers, whilst the rest were left to build a society on Galf. Every so often, a ship full of refugee Galfans would arrive... However, such a ship has not been seen in over 1000 years... The Galfans now wait for the return of the 6.

Cult of the Star God: The Mogg religion, and the Levinti's former religion. A pagan religion that worships stars. They believe that, in the beginning, there was nothing, until "The Old Ones" were born, a race that was alone in the universe, that, though they were invincible, they were sterile, and unable to breed. So, they came up with a method of bringing life to the universe by burning their own bodies. Worshipers wake up just as the sun rises, to give it praise, after night has fallen, they give praise to the stars that gave life to the rest of the universe.

Sacred Artifacts

These are artifacts that are highly revered throughout the entire Federation:

Forge of Gideon: Sometimes refered to as the Soul Splitter, this mighty Hammer belonged to Gideon, who began his life in the great forges of their world that created them. Solus used this great hammer to split his soul into 7 pieces. Gideon left it with his wife when he left for the stars, it is currently in the Gideon section of the Grand Cathedral of Solus, a cathedral on New Galf covering an area of 21 miles, split into 7 sections, each for worshiping the 7 prophets.

The Crypt of Solus: Supposedly the final resting place of their lord and saviour. Although nobody has opened it since it was first closed. It is said that the tomb will open when he is ready to return.

Animosity: Although the 5 races are in an alliance, there is animosity between them, some races get on better than others.

Galfan and Kenris: The Galfans and the Kenris do not see eye to eye, there are many reasons, but the predominant one is that the Kenris are not religious, as such, do not celebrate Solus day. Although there is little active hostility between them, the Galfans are exceptionaly distrusting of the Kenris.

Levinti and Mogg: The Levinti and Mogg are actually from the same planet, they both grew as the dominant species on their respective continent. There are many a song sang about the horrendous and bloody battles between the Levinti and the Mogg.

Close allies: Though there is animosity between certain races, there is also close alliances between them as well.

Levinti and Galfan: The Levinti and the Galfans are inseparable allies, both believe in their lord and savior Solus, and fight in his name. Surprisingly enough, there are actual hybrids between the species... That's right, a Galfan and Levinti can successfully breed. This is an extremely hotly debated and researched subject in the science community. Although, it is a common religious belief that Solus granted them the ability to interbreed as a reward for their service to him.

Kalel and Kenris: The Kalel and Kenris share their royal family, it is a common tradition for an unmarried prince, upon reaching the age of 30, to marry the Kenris Empress. The Empress' humanoid appearance is due to her possessing a strain of the first Kalelan Queen's DNA. They cannot mate, but are still rather close.

The rest of the relationships are neutral.

Unique Technologies

A.R. Technology A.R. or Artificial Reality, is a technology that allows them to digitally create a reality using computer technology. This is primarily used for Training purposes, as well as heavily used in their Penal system. All prisoners are hooked into an A.R. machine for the duration of their incarceration. This makes their prisons Literally inescapable. No matter how hard one tries, there is no escape from ones own mind.

Teleportation Technology: Although still to be perfected, most of the larger vessels, including the Big Seven and the Behemoths. Vaarta are being rotated in and out of service in order to be outfitted with them. The technology can only teleport a maximum of 6 people at a time, and requires a minute to recharge. making it poor for mass-transit. They also require people to be on the teleportation pads in order to do so and cannot teleport through energy shields.

Military:

The military is made up of multiple different branches, each controlled by the different governments, meaning that no 1 government is superior to any other when it comes to military might.

Kalel

The Kalel have command of the Federations R&D program, as well as a controversial branch of the Special Forces called "The Praetorians" The Praetorians are a group of Kalel that have been severely augmented for the purposes of battle. They are elite Super Soldiers that will not be physically, or mentally capable of re-entering society... Ever... Which is why their very existence is so controversial. They are generally those who's bodies are damaged beyond repair, or are severely crippled, whilst in service to the Special Forces. The Super Soldier Formula essentially grants a Kalel all of the most desirable traits of all of the Federations Members. The Strength and healing factor of the Mogg, the Acute senses and flexibility of the Levinti, the Telepathic communication and the ferocity of the Praetorian Guard ability of the Kenris and the Technomantic abilities of the Galfans. They are then placed inside great suits of armour. They are a fearsome sight on the battlefield, but are only really sent to battles labelled "Code Black" They carry large Bardiche's and arm mounted Double-Barrelled Pulse-rifles. There are, also, a number of high ranking Kalel in the Mogg Intelligence beuro.

Kenris

The Kenris control the Communications and the Infantry of the Federations Grand Army. Their Warriors possess natural chitin that is as strong as standard body armour. They have natural blades on their arms, as well as spike-shooters in their wrists, as well as the standard weapons in the Armoury. They are highly effective at both front line infantry work as well as infiltration missions, due to their hivemind being nigh impossible to intercept communications from, and also difficult to detect. They also command the Hive-Ships that are independant from the rest of the navy. Their main purpose is to carry the Queen's and Empress to wherever they are needed. Inside are vast hallways, patrolled by the Broodguard.

Mogg

The Mogg are the heads of the Special Forces, the Marines and the intelligence bureau. The males serve as highly elite commando's, whilst the Females work as infiltrators. Many fear the word that a Mogg commando team is hunting them.

Levinti

The Levinti are the proud heads of the Mechanized Corps. They pilot their mechs with undiluted enthusiasm and skill. They are ruthlessly efficient, as they feel it as their time to shine when piloting their mechs as they are able to fight as their lord Solus did. Surrounded by metal and for their righteous cause. They utilize both large and small Mecha's.

Tank Mecha's (Large):

Veritus-class General Ground Mecha. (Can be outfitted to fit multiple roles, such as a Heavy Assault Cannon, a Heavy Laser cannon, AA Smart Missile Pods, and a Long Range Artillary Dober-gun.)
Kellicus-class Air-space Fast Attack Mecha (By pulling a lever above the pilots chair, the mecha can transform into a fighter-like form that increases it's maneuverability, as well as allowing it actual flight inside of an atmosphere.)
Caesar-class Command Mecha
Gellicus-class Air-support Mecha.
What the inside of the cockpits look like.

Heavy Infantry (Light Mecha's):

Kavikriss-Class Assault-Mech (Equipped with powerful Assault Cannons, missile pods and grappling hooks, it can stride across a battlefield at speeds exceeding 80 MPH. And it's grappeling hooks make it ideal for urban warfare.)
Sigma-Class Heavy support mech (Equipped one one arm with powerful Gatling assault cannons that each pump out 1000 rounds per minute, and on the other, they sport quad-barrelled rocket launchers, as well as shoulder-mounted AA guns, These can be swapped out for long range Dober-Guns, similar to those mounted on the Artillary Veritus'
Lerrigot-class Orbital Drop mecha's (These are the Orbital Drop mecha's. lightly armoured, they are built to be dropped into battle from low orbit. they possess poweful thrusters that allow for guidance upon orbital entry. Unfortunately, having each one possess the power for unassisted flight was costly and impractical, instead, they become Jump-packs, allowing them to be blasted through the air, but coming back down quickly. They are usually armed with Laser Cannons, Smart Missiles, or Sniper-Rifles.)

Galfan

The Galfan command the Federations Navy, They are cybornetically linked into their ships and so pilot it like it was an extension of their own bodies. This makes them deadly efficient in piloting and deploying the ships in battle.

List of Starships

-C-MVF8 "Starfury" Multi-Vector Fighter.-
The "Starfury" is a multi-vector fighter build for speed and maneuverability. they have 4 engines at each wingtip with multiple thrusters, allowing it to fly with the fuselage facing almost any direction. Although this maneuverability comes at the cost of fire-power, it's only armemants are a pair of laser cannons bellow the cockpit. There are 2 varients:
The Stealth-fury is equipped with sensor jammers, making it invisible to most forms of sensors. They are used by the Special Forces.
The Heavy Starfury is equipped with AA missiles as well as a tail-gunner, primarily used as Squadron leaders and primary fighters carried aboard "The Big Seven"

-C-WF7 "Chaser" High-Speed Intercept Fighter.-
The Chaser is a high speed interception fighter, though lacking the maneuverability of the Starfury, few fighters can match the raw speed of the Chaser, they were built to support their faster vessels. The Chaser is equipped to take down fighters and attack larger vessels like mosquito's dodging in and out of their AA weapons and dealing small amounts of damage each. They are armed with heavy laser cannons and anti-ship missiles.

-C-AB9 "Sunburster" Assault Bomber.-
The assault bomber of the Federations navy. The Sunburster is a Kalel designed bomber, meant to deal serious damage to vessels and instillations alike. They are equipped with the "Ground burster bomb" that is specifically designed to punch through the heaviest armour, the large explosion is complemented by a quick-evaporating, highly corrosive acid to eat through hulls.

-C-TG "Orca" Transport Gunship-
The Orca is a Levinti designed Transport Gunship. It is capable of carrying 2 squads of soldiers, as well as a large complement of heavy weapons. 4 twin-light partical cannons and an Assault Cannon at the front, as well as 3 surrogate Assault Cannons, one on each side as well as one on the back ramp.

-C-BC "Behemoth-Class Battlecarrier."-
The Behemoth is a Galfan designed battlecarrier, notable for it's combat abilities, as soon as it has launched its complement of fighters, the flight-deck at the top rotates over to reveal multiple Heavy Partical batteries.

-C-CV "Solus-Class Command-Dreadnought"
These were a joint venture between the Galfans, Levinti and Kalel. Each is 15KM long, with multiple Super-Heavy Partical cannon emplacements. many more heavy partical cannon batteries and hundreds of AA gun emplacements and Hangar-bays. They even have a large hangar, capable of bringing a Vaarta inside for repairs, each is a fortress in its own right. There are 7 of these ships, known as "The Big Seven" B.F.S. 1 Solus, B.F.S. 2 Covinus, B.F.S. 3 Protoris, B.F.S. 4 Gideon, B.F.S. 5 Xenedus, B.F.S. 6 Ulisis and B.F.S. 7 Orrocus.

-C-FC "Gredigan-Class Carrier"-
The Gredigan is a Kenris designed carrier, capable of carrying 20 squadrons of fighters. The only weapons it carries is a pair of Partical cannons, and 5 AA gun emplacements so that it can double as a support ship.

-C-HSC "Yorktown-class Heavy Support cruiser"-
The Yorktown is a Mogg designed Heavy Support cruiser, possessing 30 long-range missile emplacements. They have heavy armour, but are slow, their main purpose is to protect the flanks of a fleet and rain missiles upon enemy ships at range.

-C-LSD "Akira-class Light Support Destroyer"-
The Akira is a fast gunship, possessing a single particle cannon and a pair of long-range missiles, taking much the same role as the Yorktown, only for faster moving fleets.

-C-CB "Vaarta-class Battleship"-
The Vaarta is of Galfan designed and acts as the backbone of the fleet, Carrying multiple Heavy partical cannon batteries and several squadrons of fighters.

-Kavrt-class Rapid-attack Gunboat.-
The Kavrt is a Mogg designed Rapid-attack gunboat, built to take heavy weapons into the middle of a battle at great speed. deliver its payload and then get away with minimal damage.

-Surak-class Spec-Ops cruiser-
The Surak is not an official part of the Navy. It's used by the Special Forces and the Praetorians and comes equipped with the most advanced Technology in the entire Federation, including a Cloaking Device, E.M.P. cannons and Holo-projectors.

-Pioneer-Class Deep Space exploration ship-
A moving Space-Base in its own right, the Pioneer was built as a means to explore deep space without vessels having to return to a home system in order to resupply. Each Pioneer is about the same size as one of the Big Seven, but lacking most of their offensive capability. Each does possess a large number of AA guns, but lacks any real Anti-Capital firepower. Instead, they rely on their escorts, generally 7 ships of varying class, each of which is housed inside the Pioneer until their services are required, the Pioneer serves as a staging area for them to launch probes and survey teams to the local star-systems and check for alien life.

Defunct Vessels:
A list of ships that were formerly in Military use, but have been/are currently being, phased out.

-Aritaa-Class Battle-Cruiser-
The Aritaa is a Mogg designed Battle-cruiser, this is a much older vessel that see's very little in the way of active service anymore, most of them were sold into private use by Security firms... And are favoured by Pirates, because of their firepower.

-Pragg-class Battle-Cruiser-
The Pragg is essentially the Galfan's answer to the Aritaa, a little better armed and requiring a much smaller crew compliment. This ship is rather powerful, but is old and is being phased out of the standard navy, but has found a new home in the Police, due to being able to enter an atmosphere. They are used as Patrol ships and each can carry a wing of Chaser's for taking down faster vessels.

-Kumira-class Destroyer-
The Kumira was an older Levinti vessel used for fast attack, it has been phased out in favour of the Kavrt.

-Tyrello-class Battleship-
The Tyrello was the Kalel's original Battleship. The only Tyrello still in active service serves as the Police's Flagship. The only others that haven't been dismantled have had their engines removed, and now serve as Penal colony's around Lusango, one of the moons of the Mogg homeworld.

Armoury

EG-101 Pulse Rifle (Laser Rifle with Pump-action Grenade Launcher)
EG-104 Shotgun
EG-109 Sniper Rifle
EG-103 Flamethrower
EG-99 Pistol
EG-100 SMG
EG-120 AP Assault-Cannon
EG-121 Laser-Cannon
EG-122 Smart-missile-pods
EG-63 Bazookoid (A design over 120 years old, old but reliable. It's a pump-action laser cannon that can cut through medium body armour. It's been phased out in favour of the EG-101 Pulse Rifle. It's mainly used on the older ships, favoured due to its power, reliability and it's long battery life. It also features a power modulation system, allowing it to either be powerful enough to cut through heavy armour, or weak enough to be easily deflected by unreinforced metal, making it perfect for fighting in vital area's of a ship such as the Engine Room, Fuel Bays and Ammo Dump.)

[Queen Raidne]

|Nation Name: Kerbal Interstellar Program

|Race(s): Kerbals

Appearance

|Physiology: Kerbals have very bulbous eyes, a comparitively small torso and large head, two teeth (one attached to the jaw and one attached to the skull), two arms with four-fingered hands, and two feet with four toes. Their blood uses vanadium rather than hemoglobin, giving them a greenish tint. 80 percent of a Kerbal skeleton is actually cartilage, significantly increasing their squishiness and allowing them to survive falls from great heights... not that that, honestly, helps them significantly. The majority of their organs are housed in their cylindrical heads, leaving only their lungs, heart, and "intestinal piping" in their torso. They have no nose, instead relying on their mouths to breathe. Nor do they have ears; instead, sound is detected through vibrations in the fluids contained in their oversized eyeballs.

In the Age of Genetic Engineering, however, a few things changed from their natural physiology. The first was the invention of asexual breeding via mitosis, preventing all those tricky times when Kerbals forgot about Kalentine's Day. This also had the effect of quadrupling their birth rate. The second was the addition of symbiotic algae to their skin, enabling them to survive without food for longer periods of time. This was totally the intended result, and not brought about because a genticist was embarrased at the paleness of his skin.

|Habitat: Earthlike

|Summary in a Sentence: Lovable idiots with rockets, whose main goal is to land on every celestial body that they find (they're still figuring out how to land on their sun).

|Racial Traits:
-Extreme Stupidity (Or is it just courage?)
Kerbals will generally try anything at least once, no matter how ridiculous. Perhaps it stems from an innate trust that the Kerbals before them knew what they were doing. If a rocket was designed with thrusters off-center and only on one side (because the engineer's printer ran out of ink halfway through), then the builders will construct it without question. Similarly, the pilot will fly it without question. And then die when it inevitably explodes -spontaneously lands- 50m from the launch pad.

+Incredibly Rapid Reproduction
One of the more prominant families on Kerbin, the Kerman line, has over 1,000 siblings in the current generation. At least half of those have died.

|Systems Occupied:
|Name: Kerbol
+Planets:

Moho

burnt planet, no atmosphere, close to the sun.

Eve

toxic purple world with a surprisingly thick atmosphere

Kerbin

lovely temperate world, quite habitable
-This is the Kerbal homeworld. Although interstellar rockets are now assembled in Uranian or Joolian orbit (to take advantage of those planets' magnetospheres for antimatter production), much of the space industry is still centered here.

Duna

thin atmosphere, full of iron and therefore red
-Beyond a few mining and research bases, not much is on this world.

Dres

no atmosphere, small, orbit is eccentric; possibly a moon that escaped Uranian orbit

Urania

blue gas giant with many moons, two of which are habitable (though cold), and one of which (a captured planet) is so hot, it nearly qualifies as a brown dwarf
-Although the Jool has a better magnetosphere to collect antimatter from, Urania's moons are significantly warmer. Therefore, Urania is home to most of the Kerbal's interstellar manufacturing industry.

+Hestia:
Remarkably warm (only -7 C!) world covered in mats of algae and moss
-The plentiful algae and moss is extracted to make space food
+Ares:
World rich in iron, similar to Duna, except Ares managed to hold on to its oceans
-Ares is the second-most populated world in the Kerbol system aside from Kerbin itself. Many kerbals live on Ares and commute to the interstellar construction yards in Uranian orbit.

Jool

green gas giant with several moons, one of which is habitable (and also, at -40C, very cold)
-Due to a strong magnetosphere, Jool is Kerbal's primary antimatter collection site. Therefore, it is the primary refuelling site in the Kerbol system.

+Laythe:
Kerbal-like world... only the oceans are incredibly salty, preventing them from freezing
-Despite its temperature, it's the third-most populated world in the Kerbol system, to support the burgeoning fuel industry

Eeloo

distant frozen iceball

|Location: In the middle of a galactic arm, not unreasonably far from other civilizations

|Civilization Tier: 3
The Kerbals have finally, after many thousands of deaths, stranded kerbalnauts, and mysterious accidents, just managed to crack the secrets of FTL travel. Now if only there was any guarantee of their rockets actually making it anywhere....

|Population: 25 billion

|Culture/Society: The Kerbal way is trial and error. They got into orbit only after losing their initial crop of volunteers, and then they realized that they never put parachutes on the oribiter. Luckily for Jebadiah, he was rescued after only 7 more attempts. His rescue went down in history as the first successful orbital rendevouz. Missions to Duna, the fourth planet in their system, regularly ran out of fuel until they managed to guess the correct amount (and the correct thrust-to-weight ratio of the rocket).

They also are a remarkably one-purpose civilization. Their society goes through different phases, each marked by a remarkable drive for the entire species to work toward a singular goal. In the modern era, they are obsessed with rocketry, spaceflight, and aeronautics. Their entire economy is devoted to that goal, which is good for them, because the cost of the sheer number of failed spacecraft is astronomical.

These guys generally have three emotions - terrified, bored, and ecstatic. Arguably they also have a fourth - terristatic, a combination of the first and the last. Kerbals are adrenaline

|Military: The Kerbals don't have a real military. In the Age of Hunting, they developed the standard spears and guns with which to defend themselves, but once they progressed to the top of the food chain, weapons development practically stagnated. They've stumbled upon space weaponry via rocket staging accidents and wildly overpowered communications arrays, but never having a need to use them, there's no military to speak of. They do have a few weapons lying around that they like to use on uninhabited planets and to deorbit space stations, though.

Kinetic Missile: This is an unmanned rocket. Explodes rather nicely.
Mass Driver: If you put a big ball of ceramics in front of a rocket, it gets launched at speed. Great fun.
Maser: Early experiments in beaming power via microwave lasers occasionally roasted chunks of Kerbin and the Mun.
Lasers: A kerbal engineer accidentally designed a vastly overpowered communications laser once, and this is the weaponized result.

|Government: There is no government. Any actual progress in society is due to emergent behavior, generally speaking. This makes it difficult, however, to reassure other civilizations that treaties will be respected. Not that they've met any other civilizations yet.

|Economy: Kerbal economy is generally capitalist. Given the complete lack of law, several megacorporations and monopolies have cropped up, and the stock market tends to crash and peak rather spectacularly every few decades. Most Kerbals don't actually care, instead being focused on whichever goal their society is working toward at the moment. That means that any company that doesn't demonstrate its usefulness towards aerospace in the current age will fail. Even restaurants are sponsered by aerospace groups, if not owned by them outright.

|History:
Age of Hunting: Lasting from the initial Kerbals wading ashore (and waving goodby to their tunicate cousins) to the moment Tombal Kerdison discovered steam power.
Age of Steam: Lasting from the first steam engines until Nikla Teska discovered electricity.
Age of Electrics: Lasting from the first dc generator up to Howie Kendel's completion of the Kerbal Genome Mapping project
Age of Genetics: Lasting from the first hesitant steps toward mitosis to the moment Wernher von Kerman's lab exploded so violently that some of the ceiling tiles never fell back to Kerbin.
Age of Aerospace: From the first rather explosive rockets all the way up to the present day Alkubierre Drive technology.

|Ships:

KIS Jebediah

The Kerbal's first (relatively) successful attempt at a truly interstellar ship. The Jebediah was named after one of the three great heroes of the early Space Age, Jebediah Kerman. It comes fully equipped with a science lab, various comms dishes, an external analog computer (just in case), more science experiments than you can shake a stick at, an antimatter-initiated fusion reactor, alkubierre faster-than-light technology, and the reconfigurable KIS Bob/Bill lander/space plane system (to be assembled in orbit). Crew of seven.

[Apollo26]

Nation Name- The Septonium Concordant
Civ Tier: 3 ( Maintains 6 stations outside of the Shao XI system, 4 civilian trading hubs and 2 military Garrisons)

Capital Planet-
The Capital of the Septonium Concordant is Taoshe, it is a lush green planet with a temperate climate. The planet is a mixture of lush multicolored grass like expanses, Alpine territories topped with blue snow and large rough oceans. The coastal territories and the oceans is a big contrast from the beautiful expanses of the inner regions. Storms are frequent along the coast and it rains most of the 24 month year, making the seas extremely rough. This is due to the gravity of the binary star Shao XI and the planets 3 moons. Taoshe is the Executive center of the concordant and is also home to the central military headquarters.

Planets-
The core four planets in the empire lie within the binary star system of Shao XI are Taoshe, Haloh, Icarus and Jalag other worlds are named based the date at which they were found, allied or conquered. The concordant does maintain large space stations in the large expanses between planets.

Taoshe- Center of government, seat of military and political power. Three moons ( Tao 1-3) are frozen methane balls.

Haloh- The agricultural center of the Concordant and home to the top architectural and engineering universities. Haloh is the heartland of the concordant 50% of its surface is farmland. Haloh is also the trading capital of the Concordant and home to many of the International corporations of the concordant. This is a major tourist center because of the large amount of history.

Icarus- The largest and most desolate planet in the system, made up of large deserts and giant gorges, canyons and mountains. The lower hemisphere is a weapons testing ground for the military while the upper hemisphere is home to the diplomatic universities of the Concordant.

Jalag- A large manufacturing world, protected by the three other core planets. Jalag is home to the biggest naval port in the Concordant. Jalag is a major manufacturing world and is home to the majority of the weapons plants that service the military

Leader-The current chairman of the Concordant is Valag Timonus

Government- The Septonium Concordant is a Republic with a large senatorial body, laws and other decisions of the state are governed by this body. Senators are chosen from the ranks of the military, selection is based on merit and honor in combat. The Septonium Concordant is a military state, the military funds, directs and oversees all actions made by the state. Non-military assets and military assets share a nice relationship and cooperate readily, helping in anyway they can in non military matters. It is not uncommon for military transports to transport building materials for civilians builders and it is common to see the military pull in civilian help for humanitarian missions. The Concordant's second largest body is the diplomatic corps which handles all foreign relations and non-combat missions. Because of the slow recruitment and training time for recruits the concordant cannot sustain large military campaigns. Peace and Diplomacy have become paramount for the concordant and military action is seen as a very last resort.

Population- The radiation given off by the binary star makes most of the planets in the system inhospitable. With the exception os the Aradites, the native population of the Septonium Concordant there are savage feral beings that inhabit other worlds in the system. The total population of the Concordant is 10 billion.

Species-The Aradites are the only species in the Septonium Concordant, they are a odd humanoid like species that have adapted to their radiation rich environment. The binary system Shao XI is home to 12 worlds, four of which are inhabited by the Aradites, the rest are inhabited by feral beasts which are the mutated remnants of past civilizations.

Aradites

Race Name- Aradites
[hider=]

Habitat- The core planets all have temperate climates with long winter and spring like seasons. Aradites can adapt to almost any climate but prefer cooler temperatures typically associated with alpine terrain.

Appearance- Aradite physiology is not to distant from human although a bit taller, they exhibit all the same reproductive organs and have all of the standard circulatory organs. Aradite skin is hard and leathery but appears smooth, slightly changing hue based on their mood. The Aradites have complex eyes that have a bright yellow/green color, their evolution as nomadic hunters has sharpened their eyesight and has given them a small amount of natural night vision.

Physiology-
-Tough leathery skin
- Resistance to radiation
-Bright complex eyes

Personality- Aradites are honorable people who share a very strong nationalist bond . They are generally very accepting to outsiders and are polite and respectful , not wanting to offend any other being. Aradites are very easy to spin up however; giving them the stigma of being very hotheaded and brash. Aradite men usually are very headstrong and brave, competing to be chosen for senatorial slots or top positions in the Diplomatic Corps. Women are held in very high esteem in Aradite culture, venerated as symbols of beauty and elegance. Women compete alongside men for the same positions and are often more successful.

Lifespan/Birth/Aging- Aradites live for three to four centuries, the constant radiation given off from the binary stars has made them age extremely slow and has lessened the physical impact of aging. It is not uncommon to see a 200 year old Aradite who still looks like his 23 or 25 year old human equivalent. Child birth is very similar to human child birth except for the lack of an umbilical cord and belly buttons. Mating is usually for life due to long lifespans , it is not uncommon for a male to court a female for weeks even months before formal dating begins.

Language- Aradite language is Demioi, it is very elegant and smooth, native speakers often blend together words and speak very quickly making translation extremely difficult to the forgien ear. There are two Dialects of Demioi, Daimet and Dai'kat. Daimet is the informal version of the language and is spoken in everyday life, Dai'kat is dated and extremely formal. Dai'kat is only spoken at formal events and briefings.

Culture- Aradite culture revolves around honor in combat, honor in family and honor is life. Honor and prestige is very important in Aradite institutions and is the most common way to earn promotions and other merits. It is common for men and women to fight alongside each other in battle. Aradite women are fierce and elegant warriors along with being symbols of beauty, it is common to see wives and husbands in the same regiment or even squad.
.
Advantage Traits- Aradites have extremely good eyesight and hearing naturally, their evolution as nomadic hunters sharpened their hearing, eyesight and has given them a small amount of natural night vision.

Disadvantage Traits- Hotheaded, Naive, Some can be rather stuck up, Due to long life span Aradites do not reproduce much. Bare Aradite eyes glow at night and reflect light (Much like a cat)

Other Traits- Large, ornate and sometimes glowing tattoos along with piercings are becoming more popular with the Aradite communities in the core worlds.
[/hider]

Currency- Septonian Dari

Culture:
--Aradites are known for being extremely liberal in allowing use of Alcohol and certain psychedelic drugs. The military allows the use of both alcohol and drugs while on deployment as long as it does not effect their combat readiness.
-- When showing up to formal events, it is Aradite culture to bring gifts like food and wine. This can include a large amount of gifts and can sometimes overwhelm hosts.


Advantage Traits- The Septonian military is excellent, tempered by years of fighting feral beasts on the nearby worlds, each raw recruit enters a battalion with a year or two of actual combat experience. The Soldiers and Marines are extremely disciplined and field the best equipment known to the empire.

Disadvantage Traits- Debate in the senate is common, therefore it takes a long time to get major bills passed.
- Aradites share a strong nationalist bond that can lead to hostility.
- Some citizens can be rude, stuck up and prejudice towards other species

Other Traits- The Septonium Concordant has beautiful planets and is great a terraforming, they have a very open building style resembling the style of ancient Rome and Greece. Aradites are hospitable people and are generally very nice, even if they are a bit easy to rile up.
Most core planets distill there own wine, liquor and spirits, it is very strong and said to cause hallucinations and euphoria due to the ingredients. The ingredients are a closely guarded secrets among the families.

Aradite romantic novels are very long and drawn out, very similar to the dating style of the Aradites. These novels are very popular among some other species but are seen to be too long and slow for others.

History- When the Aradites evolved into a humanoid being they immediately began hunting and gathering, quickly becoming nomads. These nomad groups eventually met each other and created small settlements and attracted more people into these settlements. As time progressed Governments formed and nations were established around these former nomadic tribes, as the nations grew conflict between these nations became inevitable. A bloody period of war started, including three world wars and countless small conflicts over land and resources on the planet. The victor of these conflicts and the superpower on the planet was the Septonious family a strong a charismatic house known for their ruthless military and wealth. The family began to conquer the planet and by the end of the late modern age the entire planet was under Septonian control. The Septonian leadership installed the senate into the government and removed all the power from the monarchy and placed it in the hands of the senate, Most of the senators were old veterans from the different campaigns of conquest and a few scholars. Most of the senators came from the millitary's marine battalions and the diplomatic corps. The Septonium Concordant has since expanded to is current reaches and is still fighting ancient colonial battles with separatists. The Concordant has a long and friendly relationship with its neighbors, The New Arcturus Republic and The Fringe Commonwealth. The concordant has been trading partners with the two since the beginning of the Septonian space age, and has even fought for the Republic during their civil war. Septonian forces also played a minor role in the "Duchy conflict", providing special reconnaissance for NAR forces.

Military- The military is broken into three separate branches:

Uniforms

Operations Branch: The Operations branch consists of the Navy, Army and Marine forces, these forces encompass the armed wing of the Concordant and preform three separate duties. The Navy serves in an offensive role and a transport/ exploration role as well as being the primary deployment platform for the Marine battalions. The marine battalions are the primary shock troops of the concordant, their primary duties are lightning fast raids and specialized offensives. They lack the ability to hold and occupy terrain however and deploy with limited resources. Occupation of territories is the army's primary duty, they deploy with a regiment of combat engineers to quickly build fortifications and other defensive structures. They are trained as military policemen to combat civilian threats along with military targets. Against specialized forces however the army lacks the same operational capability.

Diplomatic Branch: The diplomatic branch is the main voice of the concordant, some of the best minds in Foreign policy and galactic relations make up the Diplomatic corps staff. The Diplomatic Branch maintains a small fleet of specialized diplomatic shuttles and cruisers. Their primary duty is conflict avoidance and conflict resolution.

Agriculture/Colonial Branch: The A&C Branch is strictly a exploration and terraforming branch, their only duty is the exploration of new worlds and terraforming operations on other worlds to be colonized. They maintain a large fleet, second in size to the Operations branch. A company of marines is assigned to the A&C branch and all their vessels are unarmed.

Septonian Marines: Joining the military is a life choice for most Aradites, choosing to attend military academies at a very young age. Once accepted the new candidates are put through an intense curriculum of military history, tactical applications and operations, galactic history, Galatic culture and daily physical training. By their 5th or 6th year in the academy candidates are given the first round of bio- enhancements, these include mitochondrial and protein stimulants for increased muscle growth and computer assisted optical implants for another 10% boost in natural night vision. The curriculum continues until their 16th year when they are given their second and final round of enhancements. Veins and arteries are widened and a second small synthetic heart is implanted allowing for a higher blood flow and clotting speed, all marines have a identical scar under their left arm pit from the procedure. After graduating from the Academy, new marines are assigned to training platoons and sent to the neighboring worlds of Falkaide XXI or Harum VI to combat the feral beings there. This serves as operational training and tempers new marines to combat, the surviving marines are then relieved by the next group of fresh marines and are assigned to operational battalions. Marines spend 18-19 years in training including school and devote most of their lives to the military. Marines are heavily armed aiming for shock and awe, their weapons are made up of carbines , personal defense weapons and heavy shoulder launched rockets. However, they can be seen using a wide range of weaponry. All marines carry light shields to help against energy based attacks but are very weak.

Septonian Army: The Army follows the same pipeline as the Marine candidates but are deployed to the contested planet of Gaiconda to fight the insurgency there. Surviving soldiers are assigned to operational companies and relieved by the next group of new soldiers. Soldiers carry a wide range of weapons and deploy with large surpluses of gear, they are heavily armed with main battle rifles and machine guns along with a wide range of artillery. Aradite Soldiers are usually better conditioned and stronger then their marine counterparts.

Septonian Navy: Space travel is relatively new to the Aradites, what they lack in raw knowledge however they make up for with technology and mathematics. Aradite vessels are built from scaled durasteel under a sloped alloy like armor. vessels are commonly narrow at either and and smoothly bubble around the scaled durasteel to help kinetic projectiles glance off. All vessels have light to medium shields, able to absorb one or two energy based strikes before failing. The navy maintains the intelligence service for the concordant and a special warfare branch made up of 3 platoons of special forces and special operations operators.

JIIC ( Joint Internal Intelligence Command): The intelligence service for the concordant sometimes referred to as the "Laucomb" or hole by citizens. The JIIC tries it best to stay below the radar, even evading the Concordant's security measures. The JIIC is completely independent of the military branches and has its own leadership and funding, JIIC case officer and operators are considered some of the best trained operators in the Concordant.

Aries class : This is the biggest class of vessel in the fleet, carrying 12 missile pods, two forward facing magnetic accelerated torpedo tubes, 30 point defense turrets ( 10 fore, 10 mid, 10 aft) and space to carry a fighter squadron and a marine battalion with all of their gear and vehicles.

Description of Races:

Harlacs:

Information

This species ruled over the land surface of Tyr'grande, but were stuck on its tribal stage until they were uplifted by the Hannost. When they were found by the Hannost, their entire body structure was almost same with the human anatomy, except for their naturally tall heights. They accepted the Hannost's offer and complied with their teachings of advancement. They underwent several biological changes during the period of their learning, some beneficial, while some were side-effects. They can age up to 200 years, due to the improvements the Hannost applied to their bodies in their younger stages.

With their advancement comes a price, their bodies weren't able to evolve in time with the advancing technologies. Their skin turned paler, some grew mutations that turned their eyes to glow blue, while others developed a case that would turn them mute. The effects were irreversible, but they knew they had to pay a price, one way or the other.

The Harlaci, through the years, developed a strong sense of social servitude and discipline. They also have a strong sense of brotherhood and in oaths, making the Harlaci Imperium a dreadful place for any oath-breakers. If a man is to look for the most trustworthy species, its the Harlacs that he's looking for. They are usually warm towards other species, while being cautious enough to plan ahead for their next move. They are generous and and polite, but are not that easy on trusting other species until they have proven themselves. They are known to excel at being sharpshooters, but quite weak at melee combat. They would always think first for the advantage of their race, rather than risk it with someone from a different race.

Appearance:

Hannost:

Information

This species hailed from the underwater depths of Tyr'grande, they were the ones responsible for the advancement of the once crude Harlacs. They are very secretive when it comes to the history of their race, that only the elders of the Hannost people know their origins. When they started to uplift the Harlacs, they already attained near-spacefaring technology.

They are highly intellectual, humble and are mostly calm, only sociable towards the Harlac people. The Hannost are the ones who were given the task of enriching the society, making most of the scholars, scientists, and traders of Hannost origin. They have a unique regenerative body that could make them heal non-fatal injuries naturally, and age very slowly. The Hannost population mostly reside under the underwater depths of Tyr'grande, with the exceptions of Hannost officials and businessmen in the Harlac society.

It is still unknown why the Hannost chose to let the Harlacs become the dominant race in the combined empire years ago. Their history is well preserved and is only known by the current Praetor, and Hannost Elders.
Appearance:

Culture:

Culture info and Imperial Family info

The Hannost people have reared the Harlac race to become disciplined and mentally inclined, therefore making them value the aspect of warfare and knowledge sacred. Once a Harlacian reach the age of puberty, he or she will take the test known as "The Crossroad". During this test, the person obtains his/her role in the society and is given essential assets for the person to attain his/her position.They usually see treaties, agreements, pacts, oaths, and contracts as a symbol of trust, making them treat those with much regard and respect. The Hannost are the ones that brought religion to the god-less Harlac species, they worship a god called Sy'Keth, a god that is said to be mortally present, but also present in their minds. Although the Harlac people haven't seen this "god" they continued to worship it.

The Imperial family is the alliance of the Hannost and Harlacs manifested in flesh. When the two species decided to combine their empires, it was decided to join the blood of the two species into flesh. Although in the past inter-species offspring's were possible, it was agreed upon centuries ago to engineer the future bodies of both species so that a mixed offspring cannot be produced. This decision was agreed upon and was made by both species in high respect to their alliance. There are only 4 houses in the Harlaci Imperium that runs with the mixed blood of the Hannost and Harlacs.

The overall perception of morality in the Harlaci imperium has changed through time, along with their appearances. They tend to bend whats acceptable to the society if they see it beneficial in their existence. The citizens in the Imperium knows sacrifice better than any known species in their knowledge due to their history. They always seek whats the best for their nation as a whole, and always see alien ideology as a threat to what they believe in. Although they can respect other's beliefs, they don't want other species shoving it to their faces.

Economy:

Economic foundation and info

The economy of the Harlacs is prosperous in its own ways, basically, mineral resources are not produced from the core worlds, rather, they are "mined" from other extraterrestrial bodies like moons, asteroids, and barren planets. A perfect example of this type of resource gathering method is the once fourth moon of Tyr'grande, Hymtos, a once mineral rich satellite turned into astronomical ashes, creating the Hymtos asteroid ring. The size of Tyr'grande is 10 times the size of earth, rendering a good portion of the land solely dedicated for food production, while the other for military development. Trading in the planet was always fluid thanks to the intellectually gifted Hannost, they made economy of the Imperium prosperous as the Harlacs focused on establishing a good military structure.



Tyr'grande is not only the home of the Harlacs and Hannost, it is also the home of a rich mineral called "Melpharite" which can only be found in the planet. Melpharite was first introduced by the Hannost to the Harlacs in their spacefaring period, the mineral posed two significant uses, for a power source and for armor plating. The mineral when properly refined, turns into a power source called "Melparic Core", which when used, can yield power a hundred times more than eighty nuclear reactors combined. The other form of the mineral is the "Melpharic Plating", A plating of this kind can absorb multiple heat levels better than any conductive plating known in the galaxy. The use of Melpharite is protected by the Harlaci Trade Federation, only selected companies are allowed to use the material for their products.



With the Hannost handling the economy of the Imperium, everything is balanced, budget for miscellaneous projects are always funded, relief support during calamities always arrive in time, and the society works perfectly hand in hand with the government. The Hannost are clearly doing their job well, even though some of their methods might seem unethical, the products of their methods are always lucrative.

Government:

Government heads and structure

The entire Imperium is governed by three significant figures in the hierarchy. They practice Monarchy but with an influence of Meritocracy.

Imperial Praetor - Head member of the Imperial Family, he/she must always choose what is best for the survival and safety of the Harlac and Hannost people. the Imperial Praetor is the only one who has the right to declare wars, approve diplomatic actions, and visit the underwater shrine of the god Sy'Keth.

Current holder: Imperial Praetor Haraven



Commissar - The commander of all the military divisions in the Harlaci Imperium. the commander is the one responsible for keeping the space territory of the Harlac's safe, and is the one responsible for the planetary order of Tyr'grande. All Decanus (Fleet Commanders) report to the commissar. The position is only open for the Harlacian species.

Current holder: Commissar Novaria Mithe (Female)



Consular - The head of all the economic and political parties in the Imperium. The consular is responsible for the economic growth of the home planet, and the political stability of entire hierarchy. The Optio (Political and Economic Representatives) is under the management of the consular. The position of consular is only open to the Hannost species.

Current holder: Consular Addr'ikir Garfos - One of the most intelligent Hannost around, Addr'ikir is regarded highly not only in the Hannost society, but also in the Harlaci. Addr'ikir is a person that prefers to work all the time, he is rarely seen outside his office, other than the times he is called personally by the Praetor.

Unique Technology:

Melpharic Plating and Core - The pride of the Harlac technology is the refinement of a rare mineral found only on its homeworld.

Orion-Class Particle Cannon - An energy weapon powered by a Melpharic Core. This weapon sends out a black flickering beam that packs a firepower enough to slice through a thickly packed fleet of ships with ease. Its does have a long 30 minute recharging drawback.

Mass Cloning Capabilities - Mastery over the biological matter is the specialty of the Hannost, making them capable of creating multiple copies of one specific life form.

Currency: Tichar - A synthetic form of gold, it is usually shaped in small rectangles with the Imperial insignia in the middle along with the represented amount.
Economic Status: Above Stable (Budget is allocated almost instantly to different projects, with a satisfactory amount for savings.)
Economic Focus:
30% - Science (R&D, Ship & Weapon designs, Basic planet knowledge in their system)
30% - Military (Ship production, Recruiting, Training)
30% - Economy (Import, Export, Asteroid mining)
5% - Expansion (Harlacians are isolationist, they prefer to dig in rather than expand... most of the time)
5% - Black Project Initiative (Top secret military project)

Description of military:

Conditions for declaring war:
The Harlaci Imperium only declares war on a race under these conditions:

• Their military endangers the safety of the Harlacian citizens.


• They attempt to establish colonies on Harlaci space territory.


• They have attempted to compromise the very structure of the Harlaci Imperium.


• They have trespassed Harlaci space territory with multiple military vessels without proper clearance.


• They have violated a pact or treaty with the Harlaci people.

Military Weapons

Weapon types, and Missile types

Particle - Most powerful type of handheld energy weapons, they are able to stun opponents momentarily after being hit. (Assault Rifles, Rifles, Pistols, Shotgun, Railguns)
Plasma - Best weapon for long range encounters, these are able to punch through several plating of armor with ease. (Sniper Rifles, Pistol)
Ion - Weapon that is best used against anything that is mechanical or energy shields. It immobilizes its target for a good period of time. (Shotgun, Anti-tank/mecha)
Gauss - Standard weaponry for the Imperium, it uses bullets charged with plasma energy that are able to explode on contact. (Assault Rifles, Rifles, Pistols, Shotguns)

APM - A bio-missile type that is able to puncture several layers of armor and pack an anti-personnel load in a large area. Best used if you want capture a ship intact.
Hornet - A missile that contains several smaller missiles inside, these are well used against multiple armor and infantry units.
Hyrm - A missile that is able to deliver an Ion payload. Best used against armor and ships.
H-HM - A homing missile that is able to deliver an armor piercing and explosive payload to its target. Used to destroy large portion of ships entirely.

Military Divisions:

Harlacian Galactic Legionaries (10%)
These are stationary troops assigned on planetary vessels, stations, and shipyards. Sometimes they are assigned as support troops to the main fighting force, the Primus Legionaries. Every failed trainee from the Primus Legion is automatically drafted to this legion, along with a 20 year service time.

HGL

HGL Military Vehicles

Praetorian Legion (15%)
A military division composed of all the best Harlaci soldiers in the army, this legion is under the command of the Imperial Praetor. These units are outfitted with the best armor available, and given particle weapons from the armory. They are expected to serve under the legion with their entire lifetime.

Praetorian Legion

Praetorian Commando: Acting as the right hand of the Imperial Praetor, the Praetorian commando is responsible for keeping the Praetorian legion in line.

Current holder: Galerius Krovak


Praetorian Centurion (Elite Legionnaires)


Praetorian Sentinel (Heavy Weapons)


Praetorian Legionnaire (Main fighting force)


Praetorian Reaver Suit

Primus Legion (30%) (Main Army)
Being a member of the Primus Legion is the dream of every Harlacian citizen.The Legionaries receive minimum wages, but receive benefits like exemption from taxes, higher recognition in the society, and free basic supplies during their service. A normal Legionnaire is expected to serve 50 - 80 years in service during peace time. They are the most disciplined and loyal infantry units so far in the galaxy. Weapons issued to this legion are mostly Gauss, Ion, and Plasma.

Primus Legion

Harlaci Legionary Commando (Commanding Officers)


Harlaci Tech Commando (Marksman and Combat Engineer)


Harlaci Centurion (Elite Legionnaires)


Harlaci Legionnaire (Main fighting force)


Harlaci Sentinel (Heavy Weapons)


Harlaci Colossus Mech


Harlaci Triton Mech


Harlaci All Terrain Assault Crawler (HATAC)


Harlaci Ground Recon Vehicle (GRV)

Harlacian Assault Response Drones
These units are normally merged with the main infantry companies, Other than that, they They are issued to planetary expeditions or in fleet support.

Drone Classification

Harlaci Drones (Military, Police, and Black Project)


Kaiser Drone - These are combat programmed AI's on a cybernetic body structure. A safety code is always programmed to these drones in case they show signs of malfunction

Harlacian Galactic Armada (45%)
The whole armada is composed of 3 major fleets.
All fleet ships are armed with the latest military tech available, and are refitted whenever possible.

HIF (Harlaci Imperial Fleet) - Command over the fleet is shared by the Imperial Praetor and Commissar during peace times. Full command is given to the Commissar during wars.

HIF Ships

Harlaci Imperial Dreadnought - Acting flagships for the HIF, these are the 3rd largest ship in the armada. These ships are armed with a frontal Orion-Class Particle Beam Cannon, fifty twin-link particle batteries, forty gauss AA batteries, and multiple missile launch pads. Its few AA batteries is compensated by its plating ability to withstand fighter energy weapons and projectiles, making the AA's focus more on ship projectiles. Dreadnoughts of this fleet are 6 miles long, and are usually carrying one or two frigates inside, along with fifty fighters. There's currently 9 ships of this class on service.


Harlaci Imperial Battle Cruiser - The backbone of the HIF, these ships specializes on the offensive and defensive aspects of warfare. Strong and powerful these ships might be, their speed on the battlefield is their disadvantage, making them rely on destroyers and frigate attack groups to take out any flanking enemies. These ships are armed with a Dual Triton-class particle beam cannon that are capable of firing on enemy positions from long range with a timed interval.


Harlaci Imperial Destroyer - These ships are usually assigned as captains of a frigate attack force. Most of the time, they lead groups that circles around the battlefield or rushes deep within the enemy formations. If they are not assigned on attacking duty, they are assigned as support forces in the main battle line. Armaments of these ships usually depends on what mission they are assigned to. A common armament of the destroyer is a Basilisk-class Particle battery, a weapon that is able to continuously bombard enemy targets with explosive round, while being on the move.


Harlaci Imperial Frigate - Speed over durability, that defines perfectly what these frigates are. These ships are armed with Ion and Gauss weapons, but lacks on heavy plating the bigger ships have. They are capable of moving around the battlefield with speed, and are capable of disabling (even destroying) ships that aren't quick enough to even lock on them. Once assigned on strike missions, they are lead by a destroyer, accompanied by a company of fighters, and followed by a dozen of boarding ships.


Harlaci Imperial Fighter - Armed with 2 Particle auto cannons, 5 Hyrm Missiles, 10, H-HM Missiles, 5 Hornet Missiles, and 1 AI operated Gauss back turret.


Harlaci Troop Carrier Frigate - Can hold 1/4 of an infantry division plus 2 Colossus Mechs. It is capable of boarding enemy ships.


Harlaci Imperial Transport - Basic transport ship. These usually carry over supplies, troops or ammunition from a station to a ship, or vice versa.

Harlaci Trade Federation Fleet
The HTFF is commanded by the Consular, the fleet's main purpose is to ensure all economic operations are not compromised, like trading and economic meetings.

HTFF Ships

HTFF Class Battle Cruiser - Although its HIF counterpart is significantly better at firepower, these ships have the capability of countering its problem with flanking enemies. These ships have the same armaments of the HIF Battle Cruiser, but have a different overall design. Ships of this type are usually assigned on crucial trade routes or in system borders, a good amount of these ships are seen stationed on every planet in the Imperium.

(REMOVED)
HTFF Class Frigate - Unlike its relative from the HIF, these frigates are capable of holding out on their own. They have better plating but are significantly slower than the ones on the HIF. These frigates are usually assigned as escorts to cargo ships, or in patrol duties. They can be immediately assigned as support to the HIF if needed to.


Orbital Trade Port - "The Hive" (Largest mobile trade port in the Harlaci Imperium) These stations are capable of acting as trading center and as a mobile colony. Some trade centers are fitted to act as shipyards, while some act specifically for trading only. The Hive is the largest trade port in the Imperium, and is usually found on the Revar system.


HTFF Dreadnought Class Carrier - These type of ships are dedicated mainly on housing hundreds of smaller ships. From fighters class to frigates, this kind of ship sure is one sight to be seen. It mainly has a few defensive Ion batteries, multiple AA turrets, and some missile launch pads. It has a hold that can carry 1000 fighter class ships, and 100 frigates. It is 7.5 miles long, and somehow slow, making it rely mostly on escort ships for defense. There are only 4 in service of the Harlaci Imperium.

The Silver Fleet: Commanded by the Imperial Praetor, they act as the royal fleet of the Harlacs

The Silver Armada Ships

Ark of Sy'Keth - Imperial Flagship, and is the most powerful and largest ship in the Harlacian armada. It is plated entirely by Melpharic Plating and is powered by 8 Melpharic Cores. It has 4 twin-linked Orion-Class Particle Cannon Batteries, each with a reduced recharge time of 15 minutes, hundreds of Ion batteries, twin-link particle batteries, gauss AA turrets and missile launch pads. The ship also has the ability to carry a single battle cruiser and 200 fighters inside. The Ark is 9 miles long and has a self-destruct feature that is triggered by the Praetor, or by severe system failure.


HSF Battle Cruiser - The best battle cruiser available in the Imperium, this type of ships are usually found escorting the fleet or on orbit of Tyr'grande. Every armament of these ships are Particle weapons, not including the Gauss AA turrets. Ships of this type are capable of deploying a small cloaking field and are capable of taking out targets from long range.


HSF Assault Frigate - The best features of the HIF and HTTF frigates combined into one ship. These ships are only meant to destroy, not like its cousins on the other fleets that are made for both disabling and destroying.


HSF Interceptor - Armed with 3 Particle auto cannons, 1 Plasma assault cannon, 10 Hyrm Missiles, 20 H-HM Missiles, and a cloaking ability.


HSF Fighter - Armed with 3 Particle auto cannons, 5 APM Missiles, 10 H-HM Missiles, 5 Hyrm Missiles, and 1 AI operated Gauss back turret.


HSF Corvette - The only type of corvette in the armada, and is specifically built to board ships. It features an advanced class of cloaking device only available to this ship, and dual plasma cutters attached to all four of its arms. The way it attaches itself to ships are unique, for frigates, it usually cuts off portions of the ships first before boarding. For any other ships bigger than the cruiser, it rams itself arms first, then immediately begins boarding. Shooting down one of these ships are not the best idea once attached, they are built to detonate the cutters that are loaded with Ion charges, capable of disabling the ship severely once its hull has been breached.


Harlaci Royal Guard - These units are the veterans from the Praetorian Legion. Handpicked by the Praetor himself, some of these units are cloned versions of their former selves. (Total units: 302,243)

Micro Factions: These organizations originated from the Imperium, and holds quite a reputation in the Harlaci society.

Faction list

The Black Hand: An organization closely related to the black market in the Imperium. They are known to deal with ancient artifacts, information trading, and Melpharite smuggling.

Harlaci Trade Federation: Trade being the most important source of income in the Imperium, its is expected that a union would soon seize control over it. The federation is ruled by a council and has gained enough reputation and influence that the government acknowledged its existence. They are also provided by the government with powers to manipulate the trading in the Imperium.

Dreadguard Order: A well known organization of professional mercenaries in the Harlaci Imperium. They are famous for their unwavering loyalty to their clients, and brutal treatment to their client's enemies.

[NacNak]

Nation Name: Royal Zargonian Empire (RZE)Theme: Indestructible


Home World: Zargonia, a desert planet that's three times the size of Earth with three times Earth's gravity, it has three moons and orbits a binary star system that's near the edge of the galactic rim in a pretty isolated area. Both stars are the same size as each other and are yellow like Earths sun, but their slightly bigger. There are five other planets in the solar system.
Zargonia has two small pole continents both covered with Ice, a super continent at the equator that's mostly desert that take's up almost two thirds of the planets surface. Part's of the continent near the poles are more tropical and covered with plant life, there are three other continents, two of which are close to the super continent but are near the north pole so their mostly covered in plant life and partially snow. The last continent is at the other side of the planet, it's also at the equator in the middle of the ocean and it's less then a fourth in size compared to the super continent, but it's extremely hostile due to dangerous wildlife.

Race(s): Zargonians or Zargans (Reptilians):
Their height can very from 13ft tall to 15ft tall, their tough reptilian hide has scales that are a light golden brown color. They also have a row of spikes going from the tip of their snout, down their spine to the tip of their tail. They have an incredible sense of smell, natural night vision and good hearing, they also speak verbally to each other like humans do.

This picture closely resembles them =3 they basically look like

this

but without the fin on their back, or the blue skin tone, and they wear more clothing then that, where as soldiers and guards wear armor. =3
.
Sas-Zak (Insectoids):

They look like this

These bug's stand just under 6ft tall, the spikes on their arms and legs helps them climb on almost any surface and their pincer like feet help them keep their grip on multiple surfaces. Their wings allow them to fly at incredible speeds, they have what appear to be very short tails attached to their shell like abdomen, but it's actually a stinger with a volatile poison which could paralyze most creatures on Zargonia, excluding most of the larger creatures on the planet. Their shells are mostly dark colors to help then stay hidden from dangerous creatures. When they aren't in danger they have bioluminescence as a way to communicate, as well as multiple clicking, chattering sounds, but one thing that they evolved to have was Telepathy, which helps them communicate amongst themselves, and some of the creatures on Zargonia, which has helped them survive.

Racial Traits:
Zargan: because of their home world they evolved on, they have very tough scale covered skin. Zargan's are incredibly strong, determined and durable, they heal quickly from small injury's and if one was to break their arm, it would take them less then a week and a half for it to fully heal,, if they were to lose their limb it would grow back, but it would take about three months to grow back to the way it was before. Their scaly hide hardened to protect them from the heat of the suns and scorching desert's along with the sandstorms as well as defend them from the dangerous creatures that also live on their planet. They fight with ferocious savagery and tenacity, both with weapons, technology and with their claws and teeth. If they have to they'll rip their enemy limb from limb to secure a win, and they wouldn't be bothered by it, and they can live up to 700 years if their lucky.

Sas-Zak: Their strong, there's no doubt in that, they have the strength to move rock's almost as big as them with relative ease for tunneling underground. But if one was to get into an accident and break it's exoskeleton, it would take a while to fix even with medicine because it's hard shell takes time to heal, but the tissue beneath heals quickly. The middle eye on the top of their head see's in infrared which helps them spot prey or predators in the dark, the two eye's behind the first two eye's see in night vision which helps them see under ground or at night on the surface, the two eye's near the front of their head see things in color like humans for when their on the surface during the day. They are somewhat savage when they fight, but there's also planning in it, they fight smart because they aren't the strongest being's where they live. Sas-Zak have been known to live up to 200 years if their lucky.

Racial disadvantages:
Zargan's: Because of their size they're not that hard to miss in an open battlefield, and their size give's them overconfidence in battle when they are facing a smaller enemy

Sas-Zak: Because they evolved underground they breath through there skin as well as their mouth to get more air. Because of their evolution they are more susceptible to poisonous and dangerous air born chemicals then other races, as well as getting sick.

Civilization Tier: Interstellar (on their way to Galactic): Expanded from their home system. Colonization of first exo-planet to full-scale colonization of stars. FTL discovered.

Population: 1,000,000,000,000
Zargan's = 600,000,000,000
Sas-Zak = 400,000,000,000

Culture/Society: the R.Z.E has a warlike society, with a monarchy culture, but there is honor in them, both in combat and life (that's the best i got =/ )

History:

1,000,000 B.C.E: (before common era, like the technology we have today =3 ) First Zargan's appear and start to spread across the super continent. slowly claiming to be one of the most dangerous top predators on the planet.

950,000 B.C.E: The Zargan's begin to gain intelligence, the ability to use their mind to analyze, create, deduce, and formulate, allowing them to communicate effectively. They start to grow in number and form tribes, and hunt in large packs.

920,000 B.C.E: Zargan's begin making weapons to help them hunt and fight against hostile creatures and tools to help them build shelter from harsh environment instead of hiding in caves.

890,000 B.C.E: Zargan's have made small town's and villages to take refuge in and live, farms are made to support growing population. Half of the hunters become guards to protect civilians while hunters are out hunting, written language is created.

854,000 B.C.E: Iron age has begun, armor is now made to protect guards and hunters, metal weapons are made to make combat against hostile creatures safer. Metal constructs are made, they help make stone walls instead of wooden walls around their towns/villages/cities. Mine's are created to supply weapons, armor and structures, currency is made for trade and equivalence. Star charts are mapped as well as the planet, the Royal Zargonian Empire begins.

830,000 B.C.E: Zargan's discover gun power, this leads to explosives which helps mining. Eventually projectile based weapons are made (mounted cannons).

821,000 B.C.E: Hand held cannons (guns =3 ) are invented, this leads to better security and safety for cities/villages/towns but bladed weapons are still preferred.

785,000 B.C.E: Industrial age has begun, steam powered technology is invented. Town's and villages that are to far out from main capitols feel neglected, they band together as rebels and the first war against the R.Z.E begins but ends quickly, rebels are outnumbered and outgunned.

764,000 B.C.E: Vehicles are invented, making traveling and trading easier and faster. Weapons are improved as well as armor, magazine's are made so weapons don't have to be reloaded after one shot. Armor is reinforced for better protection, swords are made sharper and stronger. Cities are better protected from the hostile environment, bombs have improved, and grenades are made from them. Electricity is discovered, city defenses are now include electric barbed wire on top of city walls.

754,000 B.C.E: Second war against R.Z.E begins, rebel's are better equipped then last time but still pose no real threat.

753,890 B.C.E: R.Z.E make armored war vehicles, which are used to drive rebels back, rebels retreat and go into hiding.

753,834 B.C.E: First flying vehicles are made, radio waves discovered, combustion engines are invented. Civilisation improves, automatic weapons are invented to help fend off hostile creatures.

753,345 B.C.E: Large rebel army surprise attack's R.Z.E's main capital causing devastating damage, R.Z.E declares war of rebel faction.

752,458 B.C.E: R.Z.E finally wins 887 year war against rebels though some still remain hidden. Technology has improved greatly over the war, they now have plasma based weapons, but they mix them with projectile based weapon for both have their uses as well as bladed weapons.

752,421 B.C.E: Zargan's lower their weapons and look to the stars above them, then the space race begins.

752,402 B.C,E: First rocket model is made and launched, the attempt to get to space fails, but in doing so they invent jets.

752,387 B.C.E: New prototype rocket is made and tested but ends in disaster.

752,363 B.C.E: Another prototype has been made and tested multiple times before attempting to leave atmosphere, new rocket model is successful. Zargans's have made it to space, but rocket is stuck in orbit, for they didn't think on how they would get back down. Tragedy hits when the flames of the rocket are seen as they land on farmland, destroying it.

752,303 B.C.E: Newest rocket model has been made, and tested, Zargan's successfully get back into space, and are able to get back down to Zargonia without burning up, or exploding.

751,343 B.C.E: Zargan's land on all three of their moons and begin looking beyond their home to the rest of their solar system.

750,234 B.C.E: Zargan Civilization has advanced, mega cities are starting to form from capitals cities, sky scrapers and underground cities are flourishing. They have made it to the closest planet in their solar system, getting to space isn't as risky as it was before, but it still takes time. Weapons have advanced as well as armor and vehicles.

750,000 B.C.E: New intelligent species appears on Zargonia on extremely hostile continent, it goes unnoticed by Zargan's.

749,978 B.C.E: Rumors begin spreading about strange sightings of Insectoids near the coastal area's of the super continent.

749,950 B.C.E: R.Z.E gather's it's military force and decides to explore the hostile continent, first contact with another intelligent species is made. Both species have a disliking for each other for both believe that they are the rightful owner of the planet. Another war begins when the other species throws the first punch, the R.Z.E forces engage them and seem to have an easy victory for their superior technological might and numbers and well as brute strength, but the other species merely retreated to underground cities hidden from sight.

735,000 B.C.E: War continues to rage on, Zargan's have made flamethrowers to combat the other species. The other species have dug in deep and are using guerrilla warfare to combat the Zargans. Since the beginning of this war the other species has advanced greatly in technology, considering how long they've been around, they have managed to make automatic magazine fed projectile based weaponry and explosive devices. Their knowledge of technology seems to increase rapidly

733,000 B.C.E: Both sides of the war grow tired of fighting each other and the fighting slowly dies down. The leader of the R.Z.E, the King, takes it upon himself to try and make peace between both of their kinds, or at least com to some kind of agreement. When the king arrives at the ravaged hostile continent they are surrounded by the other species, but nether side attacks. Then the discovery that the other species can communicate with their minds happens when the leader of there kind reveals itself, negotiations are made between them. The other species designates themselves as the Sas-Zak, which overtime have been accepted into Zargan culture and have been welcomed into their cities, the damage from the war is then repaired over time.

720,000 B.C.E: With the combined effort from Zargan's and Sas-Zak space travel is made easy with new engines that are a lot more effective then previous models. Vtols are invented as well as mecha tanks to help defend against larger wildlife as well as upgrade their armor and weapons. Space warships are made in precaution of possible rising rebellion threat.

650,000 B.C.E: With a large fleet in the sky's of Zargonia and planetary guns being built to shoot down possible enemy ships, as well as possible meteors that would cause devastating damage to the planet, the rebel attack didn't happen, for a while at least, but they did eventually. The rebels attack but they were thwarted before they were able to pick up speed.

600,000 B.C.E: The R.Z.E were able to colonize two planets in their solar system by terraforming them, but the other two planets environments are to hostile and are strip-mined for resources which helped them build up their planets civilizations and their fleets.

500,500 B.C.E: Zargan's look past their solar system and beyond wondering what else is out there, and the Sas-Zak offer their help to find out with them, prototype designs are planned out for faster then light speed drives for fleets engines.

500,200 B.C.E: First prototype light speed engine is tested and ends in total failure as the test ship goes to activate it's light speed engine it explodes as it goes to jump making debris fly across the solar system and slamming into one of the strip-mined planets at light speed causing massive damage to the surface. Good thing it wasn't colonized...

500,050 B.C.E: Redesigned light speed drive added to test ship engine, the test was successful. R.Z.E test ship was able to jump from one side of the solar system to the other and back without any problems. With further testing they deem it safe to add light speed drives on all R.Z.E ships.

500,000 B.C.E: Nearest star system is picked out to explore, R.Z.E send's colonizing ship as well as military escort.

499,990 B.C.E: Ships arrive at star system, the star burns a green color, it's somewhat smaller then Earths sun. Their are 18 planets in this system, 4 planets are able to be colonized the rest have hostile environments to hostile to colonize. 1 of the planets holds primitive intelligent life, R.Z.E attempts to make contact, but life forms attack as soon as they see the ships, R.Z.E leaves the planet and it's life be. The other three planets are colonized.

499,980 B.C.E: The uncolonisable planets are strip-mined for there resources, increasing the numbers of the newly colonized planets and further increasing the fleet.

499,000 B.C.E: Primitive life on the planet left alone show signs of technological advancement, artificial light dot's the planets surface. R.Z.E attempts to make contact again, once again the primitive life lashes out, R.Z.E then wipes out primitive life on planet from orbit and the planet is colonized.

480,000 B.C.E: Light speed trade routs are made between second star system and first.

475,000 B.C.E: After the population reaches it's maximum capacity third star system is selected. Colonizing ship is sent as well as military escort like before.

474,950 B.C.E: Third star system is reached, the star burns blue and is larger then earths sun. There are 6 planets, two of which are colonisable, when the R.Z.E reach them, they find out that there was advanced intelligent life on both. Unfortunately it appears that they wiped each other out, there technology is salvaged and shielding systems are discovered from them. The planets are terraformed and colonized increasing the star system trade rout, remaining planets are strip-mined, increasing colonies and fleet.

474,000 B.C.E: Third star system intercepts alien signal, R.Z.E locates direction the signal originates from and find another star system close by. They set a course to explore it.

473,965 B.C.E: Fourth star system it reached, it's star is a massive red giant, it has 3 planets all habitable. When the R.Z.E get's there they find out the signal the received was a distress signal. There seems to be a war going on between two planets and their space fleets, the third seems to have gone silent. R.Z.E stay's out of range of detection from the two remaining planets at war.

473,930 B.C.E: The war between the two planets seems to come to a stop, it would seem that one side has been wiped out.

472,000 B.C.E: Intelligent life has colonized the remaining planets, R.Z.E sends out signal to them, they respond, with war. They send their fleets to engage R.Z.E fleet, they are wiped out. R.Z.E takes over star system by force, leaving no survivors.

400,000 B.C.E: Era of peace sets in, expanding into the stars is put on hold.

300,000 B.C.E: Population begins to over populate, new worlds are needed, closest star system is located. Warships are sent along with colonization ships.

240,000 B.C.E: Fifth star system has been found, the star burns white and is slight smaller then earths sun. 6 planets colonized two planets strip-mined and the fleet size has increased. No signs of intelligent life were found when they arrived some thousand years back.

200,000 B.C.E: Hidden planet in fifth star system is found by accident it doesn't appear to be natural. As planet is explored something is unleashed, large fleet of unmanned ancient ships comes from inside the planet, R.Z.E explorers are never heard from again. Ancient fleet heads towards R'Z.E colonized worlds, R.Z.E defense fleet engages them under the assumption that they killed the exploration team. R.Z.E out numbers them but the ancient fleet out guns them, over half the defense fleet is wiped out before ancient fleet is finally destroyed. R.Z.E worlds remain untouched, ancient fleet remains are salvaged as well as destroyed R.Z.E ships, from this stronger ships are made, new offensive and defensive technologies developed.

199,995 B.C.E: Ancient world is turned into a mobile fortress world and is moved to first star system.

30,000 B.C.E: Sixth star system is explored, it's star is orange and is two times bigger then the earths sun. Three planets colonized, five strip-mined, fleet size increased.

20,000 B.C.E: Second era of peace sets in.

C.E (current era =3 ) Population shows signs of overpopulating again, search for nearest star system begins.

Air-Space Forces: all ships have light speed drives

Nation Name: Damocleus Adeptus
Races: Major races:

Viorla

Vioar'la
There are no female ones as Vior'la reproduce from cells they hide in pouch like organic matters they hide in caves which open after a few years and a baby will come out. Racial traits: Positive: Slightly infrared eyesight, Negative: The Average Vior'lan physical build is slightly worse than the average human build due to their home planet having lower gravity.

Krevs

Traits: Cannibalize: They eat the things they kill, gaining a few of their traits for a period of time, usually only lasts a day. Starvation: If they go three days without absorbing a trait they will become weakened. Only male Krevs as children are born on will. Each Krev can have one child, and that child can be birthed at will. The child will permanently gain the trait the parent has absorbed during it's birth but loses it's parent permanent trait.

Demiurg

Rock skin: Their skin is made out of rock. Fat legs: Because they're made out of rock, they are very slow and not very agile or acrobatic. Demiurgs have no male or female as they have no specific organs. They are made by other Demiurgs who mine out their form from the mountains in their homeplanet and then enchanted to become alive.

Minor Races:

Tarellians

Heritage: Theese reptillian creatures have a heritage of being very agile and acrobatic with quick reflexes. Fragile: Due to their heritage they are also very fragile. Theese are also male only due to their home planet being destroyed. The Tarellians in this alliance are the remnants of an expedition to a neighbouring solar system. They have joined this alliance due to the Vior'la promising to geneticly recreate females for the Tarellians to procreate.

Guevasa

No traits, they are neutral. The Gue'Vasa are humans who abadoned their colonies to join the Vior'la and their allies due to thinking they had a better motive and better treatment towards lesser colonies

Civilization Tier: 3- Interstellar: Expanded from their home system. Colonization of first exo-planet to full-scale colonization of stars. FTL discovered.

Population: Vior'la: 20 billion
Krevs: 15 billion
Demiurg: 12.7 billion
Tarellians 7 billion
Gue'vasa 5.6 billion

Culture/Society

The Damocleus Adeptus alliance are based around a system with 7 planets close enough to only take a few minutes to travel between with the set up public transport shuttles. They are a very minor faction in the universe and so far have not met that many other races. Their numbers are small compared to other factions but they make up for this due to their extremely high technology capacity. This is a result from there never being war between the Vior'la as the people grew in age, always working together to achieve their goals, and so they are far ahead in technology. They have shared this technology with the other races of the alliance, each of them adding their on variation on it to fit their lifestyle and fighting style. Of the seven planets in the system, each of the races have their own planet. The Vior'la have the planet Vior'la in the middle. Once a planet rich with minerals and plains and a few forests, the planet is now entirely covered in cities and technology. THe only plant life left on the planet is mainly in private gardens and in their version of museums.

The Krevs have the planet Fengir, a planet covered in forests and plant life. The main part of the Krev race have a very primal lifestyle and the only technology they use in their day to day life is guns to hunt their prey. There is a giant city on the north side of the planet where the space port is and the government is.

The Demiurg have the planet Regnak. The surface of this planet is barren and consists of only a flat rock floor stretching across the planet. On the west side of this planet is a giant tunnel that leads towards the core where the Demiurg live, underneath the surface in giant cites. All buildings being carved out of rock. They also have a spaceport that is at the very entrance of the giant tunnel where they do their trade and talk with the other races. The most important part in their society is the magma shields the have around the core of the planet. THe core is what provides the Demiurg with ''sunlight'' and heat. If the magma shields fail then their entire planet would be ruined.

The Tarellians have their own planet named Taros, to remind them of their home planet, but on it is only a single city which is large enough for all of them. The rest of the planet is used as testing facilites by the Vior'la.

Lastly the Gue'vasa have the planet named Heaven, it has this name as it is heaven for them compared to their old life. It is pretty much like earth although with more high tech civilization. The other two planets are used for factories and resource gathering to fuel the alliance.

They have no religion as they have all agreed that religion would only cause strife and slow down their advances in the universe and technology.
All the races are united, all of them working together. The Gue'Vasa especially, praising the Vior'la like gods and following their commands to the letter. The Tarellians are also loyal, but the other races often discuss on how much they should trust them as in the past, before the Tarellian home planet was destroyed they often betrayed thier ''allies''.

Unique Technologies

Material Bender: This hardware made by the Vior'la is standard equipment to all soldiers. It is a device that can bend the material of nearly everything possible. However, after one use it is used up and has to be recharged which can only be done on Vior'la and therefore using it during expeditions is very rare, unless nescesary. Bending a material is mainly used to make walls or enemy armor weaker so as to make it as sturdy as paper or to make something harder.

Military: The military of the Damocleus Adeptus is based around a set ammount of soldiers from each race each yer. Approximately 10% of each of the races are soldiers. There are two different military organisations. The Navy and the Wrath Fighters. About 25% of the soldiers are in The Navy.
The Wrath Fighters have different squads and different unit types depending on the soldiers skills.

Wrath Warriors: The basic foot soldiers, can be equipped with any of the weapons listed in the armoury below. All Wrath Warriors has a pulse pistol. They also all have Combat armor.

Stealth Pilots: Theese pilots equip the XV25 Stealth Battlesuits. Stealth Battlesuits, also called Stealth suits, employ a holographic disruption field to make them hard to spot and target.Like the larger XV8 Battlesuit, the Steath Battlesuits incorporate a Jetpack in their design. These suits use standard ion rifles in order to neutralize enemy turrets or vehicles.

Crisis guard: The XV8 is the standard-issue suit used by the Wrath Warriors, though other variants exist, the most common being the Broadside Battlesuit. The Crisis suit is packed with advanced technology, including a jetpack, recoil absorbers and targeting sensors. Information gathered from the Crisis' sensor suite can be transmitted to command units, providing them with updated battlefield intelligence. A nanocrystaline alloy armour is used, giving the suit superior protection while keeping weight at a minimum. Although the armour provides superior protection against most small arms, it is no defence against heavier weapons such assault cannons and lascannons which penetrate right through.
The suit also has three hardpoints that allow it to accept any combination of weaponry, support systems and other devices.

Broadside Pilots: Broadside Battlesuits are only issued to Wrath warrior veterans who have gained sufficient experience piloting Crisis Battlesuits. The jetpacks commonly found on Crisis suits are replaced with twin-linked Railguns or Heavy Rail Rifle's or large numbers of Missile Pods, some of the most powerful anti-tank weapons available in the Vior'la arsenal. Other armament includes either a twin-linked Smart Missile System or twin-linked Plasma Rifles, along with a single Battlesuit support system. The Broadside is mounted with a Particle Accelerator on its back which is used to power its heavy rail weapons.
Being one of the most well protected units in the Tau arsenal, there are reports of Broadside battlesuits surviving direct hits from autocannon and lascannon fire.
Broadsides tend to be encountered supporting larger Vior'la formations, where one or more three-member teams are tasked with providing fire support for entire Warrior Cadres. Occasionally, a single Broadside is tasked with providing support for a smaller Vior'la force. Although, due to an incident in a Vior'la colony, a faction of Snotlings managed to recreate this suit and so the Vior'la have constantly been adding upgrades to the suit to make it better than the ones the Snotlings have.

Riptide Destroyers: The XV104 'Riptide' is a type of heavy Vior'la Battlesuit. It stands twice the size of the XV8 Crisis Suit series. However, it nonetheless is an extremely agile and fast suit. Riptides are most commonly armed with a Heavy Burst Cannon or Ion Accelerator as well as Riptide Shield Generators, twin Smart Missile Systems, and twin Fusion Blasters or Plasma Rifles, giving firepower and protection to compliment their agility. The Riptide draws power from two primary energy sources. The first, the Fusion Reactor, is a the standard and more reliable method of energy. However the Riptide is also equipped with a Nova Reactor, an experimental dark matter energy source that is only activated should the Riptide's pilot require a burst of extra power

Starships

Battleships:

The Gal'leath class battleship (known as the Explorer) was the first major interstellar vessel developed by the Vior'la. Compared to the average speed of an Imperial ship, the Explorer could barely approach a fifth of this speed. It is also significantly less well armed and armoured, compared to most battleships. It does have a massive cargo capacity, however, and is much cheaper to produce than other ships of similar tonnage.


The Or'es El'leath class battleship is the largest ship of the Kor'Or'Vesh, the newest generation of Vior'la ships. Also named the Custodian it retains the heavy carrier ability of its predecessor, the Gal'leath, and adds an array of port and starboard Railgun Batteries and Ion Cannons, has improved engine output and shielding capabilities and sports Deflector technology which significantly improves the armour value of the prow.
The elegant design of the Or'es El'leath causes it to lack the durability of other Battleships, being more akin to a Grand Cruiser's hull value

Cruisers:

The Il'Fannor class cruiser (designated as Merchant class) was the next major ship designed by the Vior'la after the Gal'leath Class Battleship. It was originally designed to become the new workhouse of the fledgling Vior'la Empire, its Gravitic Drive being able to reach a third of normal warp speed. As the Gal'leath proved ineffective as a military vessel against the Orks, the Merchant was heavily redesigned into a cheap and effective (if rather slow) warship that remained the Vior'la's mainline military ship until the advent of the Lar'shi class. As a cruiser, it lacks the hard-hitting firepower, speed and durability of those of the other major races, but makes up for it by being very cheap and easy to produce.


Lar'Shi: The Lar'shi Class Starship - codenamed "Hero" - was born out of the Damocles Gulf Crusade. During that conflict, the Vior'la had been shown first-hand where the Kor'vattra was lacking, and attempted to design a ship that could match the Imperium's Lunar Class Cruiser. Although the resulting vessel was still no match for a comparable Imperial warship, the vessel that resulted was nonetheless a credible ship of the line.
As a purebred combat ship, the Lar'shi is significantly more effective in a straight-up firefight than its Gal'leath and Il'fannor predecessors. In its primary Vash'ya configuration, the Lar'shi packs a great deal of firepower in the form of a forward Gravitic Launcher, a forward Railgun turret, two launch bays for Barracudas and Mantas, and a pair of Ion Cannon turrets, the latter of which are replaced by slightly weaker but longer-ranged Railgun batteries in the less-common Tolku variant. Both versions are protected by a Deflector that enhances their forward armour, allowing them to survive a head-on confrontation and bring their weapons' overlapping fields of fire to bear on an enemy

Attack Ships:


Barracuda: The Barracuda air superiority fighter is the Vior'la's most common atmospheric aircraft. A Barracuda is armed with a nose-mounted, pilot aimed Ion Cannon. This is the aircraft's primary weapon of use in dogfights, backed up by two drone controlled Burst Cannons in the wings. For ground attacks, it is primarily armed with wing mounted missile pods. When used in an ground attack role a Barracuda can carry additional armament of up to four Seeker missiles. These are not controlled by the pilot but by a Markerlight operator on the ground.
All Barracudas are equipped with escape pods. In the event that the aircraft sustains serious damage the pilot can eject. Some versions of Barracuda might include Blacksun Filters (night-fighting sensors), Disruption Pod and Decoy Launchers for additional protection.


Manta Bomber: The Manta Missile Destroyer, also known simply as the Manta Bomber. The primary armament of the Manta are two Heavy Railguns located in each wing. Besides the standard round these Railguns can also fire special sub-munitions which are given a Drone-level intelligence to direct the shell to its target. While useful in a ground-support role, these sub-munitions are primarily used in space combat, where their lack of penetration is made up for by the ability to target the weak points in enemy starship armour. Both rounds are fin-stabilised for additional lift in an atmosphere, giving them greater range than normal.


Razorshark: The Razorshark is a Vior'la atmospheric strike fighter. Based on the Sun Shark Bomber design which was never used, the Razorshark forgoes the Sun Shark's Pulse Bomb Generator and an Interceptor Drone in favor of additional thrusters for increased maneuverability as well as a Quad Ion Turret mounted in the rear that can turn light vehicles into twisted wrecks. Other armament includes a nose-mounted Burst Cannon and Seeker Missiles stored in internal launch bays. The sleek and agile Razorshark specializes in strike missions, but nonetheless can compete in air superiority operations as well.

Space Station:


Vior'la Orbital Command: Orbital Command's are Space Stations and orbital craft used by the The Navy of the Vior'la Empire and allied alien races. Orbitals are vital in linking the small Vior'la Empire together.
Security Orbitals are used as orbital defense stations for Tau worlds and are heavily armed to deter attacking enemy fleets.
Waystations are distributed throughout the VIor'la Empire. They mark out the main routes between the planits inhabited by the Vior'la and their allies and are used to speed communications between outposts.

Allied Vessels:


Demiurg Bastion: The Bastion Class Commerce Vessel is a large Demiurg vessel of cruiser status. It is often seen alone or fighting with Vior'la forces, although some Foreign commanders have been known to make use of their mercenary-like services. They are most commonly seen on the eastern rim, though this is still a very rare sight. The Bastion class seems to be more outfitted for asteroid mining rather than processing, so it is likely that there is a trade of goods from one vessel to another though this has never been seen in action.


Demiurg Stronghold: Stronghold Class Commerce Vessels belong to the Demiurg and are extremely well-powered, large, and technologically advanced. They are factories or ore-processing vessels and are often bases which are moved between systems and asteroid belts. They are also bases for a fleet of inter-system asteroid mining pods, haulage flyers and prospector probes. Strongholds are often seen in uninhabited systems with fleets of small ships moving resources to and from the vessel and a planet or asteroid, with the prow facing the star. Most of the time the vessel will disengage if challenged but some will attack with a dangerous ferocity.
They are slow but well-defended, especially at close quarters, and have a good capacity for launching retrofitted mining vessels as attack craft. The ship also uses an array of complex electro-magnetic fields around which are accelerated towards the rear of the hull in order to give some form of fast increase in speed.


Krev Warsphere: The Warsphere is the last vestige of the power and advancement of the Krev prior to their move-away from technology. They are effectively flying towns comprising a central section primarily housing the main warp engine and outer sections with maneuvering thrusters. While the engines are reliable, they are also of quite poor power output making Warspheres extremely slow, however they are sufficiently powerful to enable planetary landings. Once on the surface the thrusters are often used to bury the Warsphere, presumably to enable it to revert to its role as a traditional town. Warspheres are fairly rare and so will only be deployed in situations where the Kroot are getting a substantial payment or bonus.

Armoury

Basic weapons:
Pulse Carbine
Pulse pistol
Pulse Rifle
Rail Rifle
Ion Rifle
Longshot Pulse Rifle

Vehicles

Light Vehicles:
Piranha Skimmer. The most common armament for the Piranha is a chin-mounted burst cannon and two detachable Gun Drones, similar to the Devilfish troop carrier. However, the Piranha is often armed with a pair of Seeker Missiles in order to provide fire support for Markerlight-equipped troops and vehicles, and will replace its burst cannon with a fusion blaster for anti-armour missions. In addition, the Piranha can be upgraded with a number of additional vehicle support systems.

Tetra. The Tetra makes use of similar anti-gravity generators used in other Vior'la Vehicles, allowing it to skim over the planet's surface at high speeds. It is equipped with a Disruption Pod, distorting the vehicle's image in both the visual and magnetic spectra, to facilitate its use for surveillance, sabotage and ambush missions. It is also packed with advanced communications and surveillance equipment, including a Markerlight system for accurately directing Seeker Missile fire.

Armored Transport:
Devilfish.The Devilfish is the armoured personnel carrier of the Vior'la Empire.

Tanks
Hammerhead. Though it can be fitted with a variety of weapon, the most common (and most feared) is the Railgun, a linear accelerator capable of firing solid projectiles at hyper-velocity speeds. A second common weapon is the Ion Cannon, which fires high-energy particles that explosively react at the atomic level. Targeting and tracking sensors are located in the Hammerhead's chin-turret, including a Markerlight receiver that allows for superior accuracy against targets painted with a Markerlight beam.

Btw, yes my faction is based on the tau from 40k

Nation Name: The Technological Civilization of Snotlings (TTCS)

Race(s):

Snotling

Snotlings are the main race in the entire Civilization, They trust Technology to survive in the harsh war's by sending in power suit's and a large amount of snotlings with heavy weaponry to take down their foes, The snotlings are weak in physical Strength but with high mental strength they are a very dangerous race to fight against in high numbers
And there are Female Snotling's
Racial Traits:
Genetically Enhanced Brains: The Snotling race are a very intelligent race despite how stupid they look, They are able to build very advanced weaponry out of simple material's and can develop Power Suit
Powerful Mind's, Worthless Physique: Despite the massive intelligence in Snotling's they unfortunately are a very weak race without technology by their side, making them the weakest race for melee combat unless in a Power Suit
Snotty Men: Snotling's get more snot in their nose the more they build, At the end of the week the blow out the snot and melt them into snot coin's making builders more rich

Orc

Orc's are Snotling's who decided to sacrifice their intelligence for strength, Being now very dull unlike the Snotling's their strength is nearly the same as a power suit, Mainly used for charging in first and doing strong dirty work they are one of the Snotling's main defenses and there are female Orcs
Racial Traits:
Stupidity weaker then Snotling's: Orc's may have the strength needed to be a soldier but their intelligence lets them down, They barely listen and always make stupid decicion's, But if it involves attacking an enemy they will mostly succeed
"Gun's are for Wussies!": Orc's will never go into a battlefield without a melee weapon, They find the weaponry Snotling use weak and so they go in with Melee Weapons to show that they are the true power on the battlefield
The Teeth keeps Growin'!: Orc teeth unlike regular teeth will grow back rapidly

Civilization Tier: Interstellar: Expanded from their home system. Colonization of first exo-planet to full-scale colonization of stars. FTL discovered.

Population: 21 Billion
Snotlings: 16.8 Billion
Orcs: 4.6 Billion

Culture/Society:
TTCS is a very very War based civilization, They will send out fleets of soldiers to go and take weaker planets and build their Snotlings and Orcs rapidly, Causing them to be a highly dangerous race if they invade.
On their planet's their Fortification's are all mainly ground based for invasion's, Each city is built out of Scrap Metal to save the strong Metal for warfare so each city is fairly weak, The Snotling's and Orc's despite having a very good relationship they also have their bad times, As the orc's have a constant Defiancy against order's unless it comes from another Orc and Snotling's get annoyed by this, Snotling's are mainly in charge of the planets except on Orc-Ja where the Orc's rule on that one planet, When they are not causing war they communicate to nearby solar System's about trade routes where they have gotten a few minor ones already

Religion

Each race has two different religion which they follow out.
Snotling's = Snotling's follow the machine god which they call "Karscrap" whenever they build something they will always have a little symbol somewhere signifying that this item will belong to Karscrap
Orc's= Orc's believe in the War God to give them strength in battle which they call the simple name of "Gurk", Before battle they will shout "For Gurk!" As the story behind Gurk consists of him being a great warrior before falling in battle to a large array of human and aliens, So they will fight in honor for him

Economy: The Snotling's and Orc's run off of a substance called "Snot-Coin's" Formed in the disgusting way of taking a Snotling's Snot and melting it into a coin shape, And the Orc's use their own teeth for currency, Snot-Coin's are only For Snotling's when Orc Teeth are only for Orc's

Government: There are only two government official's, Slark the Snotling in charge of Technology and Parlok the only intelligent orc as he is in charge of warfare, They do have certain policy's for war

Snotling Rules

To go into warfare as a Snotling the people signing up must be able to:

Military:
Their ground forces consist of 50% Power Suits, 40% Orcs and 10% Snotlings to be able to dominate their forces, Sending the Orcs first the Snotlings to do ranged fire and the Power suit's afterwards they dominate their enemies easily

Starships:

PH-87 "Karlak" Cruiser

The Main Cruiser ship, Armed with ten heavy lasers on each side, Double the amount next to each laser and four gigantic missile system's under the ship make the ship a real killer, but its armor is fairly weak so it is easy to destroy to some extent

Sec-22 "Arnak" Fighter

These very quick plane shaped fighter ships glide through the air at fast speeds, armed with four lasers and two missile launchers they are perfect for taking down targets in numbers, but the armor is still weak on the fighters

Drop-Pod
