The Stars Themselves


We are still accepting new players.

Introduction
The Stars Themselves is a sci-fi nation roleplay with a focus on a number of interstellar factions. It takes place in a small section of a single galactic arm, several dozen lightyears across and filled with hundreds upon hundreds of stars. There is no pre-described background history the players must build their factions around, to allow for the most creative freedom. The Stars Themselves is a character-driven nation roleplay, with the plot progressed and told by individuals within the story, rather than played out as an impersonal strategy game of grand scale.

Rules
Do not Metagame: Metagaming is the act of using information derived through out-of-character experience, discussion, or reading to use in-character when said character(s) do not possess such experience or knowledge.
Do not Godmod: Godmodding is the act of treading on another player’s domain through the control of their characters, factions, or other such in-character constructs, whether that be their actions, reactions, or thoughts.
Do not Powergame: Powergaming is the act of abusing the mechanics or rules of a system to gain an advantage, and otherwise treating the roleplay as a competitive game rather than collaborative storytelling.
And above all
Maintain the Verisimilitude and Fun of the roleplay

Scale

To give a general overview of a faction’s capabilities and how they compare to others, The Stars Themselves employs a ranking system similar to the Kardashev scale. This scale is below, and a faction’s ranking on the scale can be found in the Scale and Territory field of the nation sheet. In remembrance, the system has been nicknamed “the Iradev scale.”

The Iradev Scale
Planetary
Planetary factions are able to reliably travel around their own planet, with trains, planes, and ships. These factions are on par with WWII era Earth and are not recommended to play for any significant extent of the roleplay. This rank on the scale is mostly for example purposes.

Interplanetary
Possessing roughly the technological capabilities from the Cold War to near-future (21st Century onward) Earth, Interplanetary factions have taken their first steps among the stars and have begun to explore and perhaps colonize their home star system, and use the resources around their star. Interplanetary factions vary in capability, but on average, they can reliably make transit between other orbital bodies in their home system.

Basic Interstellar
Whether through the development of basic FTL drives or the use of seeder, generation, and/or sleeper ships, Basic Interstellar factions have visited their neighboring stars in person and begun the process of developing permanent infrastructure there. While skipping between stars is expensive, dangerous, unreliable, or a combination of all three, it’s no longer as difficult a prospect as it used to be.

Interstellar
Interstellar factions are able to reliably transit between stars and most factions will have developed FTL drives by this point. Infrastructure around other stars is common for these factions, and they often have planetary colonies or orbital stations for the common population.

Advanced Interstellar
Interstellar travel has become significantly cheaper, safer, and easier. Advanced Interstellar factions have many extrasolar colonies across around a dozen or more star systems, and new infrastructure is being built all the time. While they are fairly advanced, they are still mortals and lower ranked factions can still pose a threat to them, though they will be at a significant disadvantage.

Here's a simple hexmap. Just tell me what hexes you've claimed, either by posting the numbers or filling in the map yourself. Each hex will roughly represent a parsec, but not every hex has a star, so you may end up with some empty hexes as part of your territory. I'd recommend selecting which hexes have systems you control, first, and then connecting them with empty hexes. You can open the image in a new tab for better zooming. Right-click. Map will be updated as players are accepted.

The Depths of Tartarus

Summary

Faction Name: Global Governing Body of Asphodel
Faction Type: Intergovernmental coalition of nations.
Species: Long lost colony of humans, hidden within a cold nebula.
Scale and Territory: Interplanetary (will eventually become basic interstellar); Of the many worlds of the Erebos system, only Asphodel is inhabited, although colonies/shipyards/infrastructure will be established across the system before first contact. Asphodel is home to 4.5 billion people.
Culture: Heavily based in Greek mythology. Most spoken language is derived from English. Additional information under Origins of Asphodel.
Technology: Currently on-par technologically with the 1960’s USA/Russia, but we’ll be doing a prologue that’ll span the 30 years up until first contact.
Military Forces: Imagine an Earth where the cold war was not between two nations, but four--and this time of fear and madness is the most peaceful since the fall of Ghazele more than three thousand years prior. Planetary military and nuclear arsenals are excessive, even by 20th century Earth standards. Spacecraft are limited to non-combat models for now--combat spacecraft will be documented as they are developed.
Notes: We haven’t had first contact yet. Our faction name and government will probably change after that.

Notes on Governments

Type of Government: Oligarchy
Description of Government: Each nation has a number of chairman in the Body equal to the number of facilities they run for the Body, as well as one more as a representative of the nation. In this way, a country that loans more facilities to the Body has more representation in the Body. Each representative is a facility administrator or nation representative. In order to pass legislation and executive action, the representatives make propositions, deliberate, and vote to eliminate or pass actions.
Type of Economy: Each nation must put forth a minimum amount of funding to maintain their place in the GGB. Outside of this mutual funding, each nation has their own independent economies.

Origins of Asphodel

[Part I]
In 2282, Charon, the first seedship, departs from Earth for the distant star system of Epsilon Eridani. The ship carries no human crew and is equipped with an experimental “FTL” system. Using nuclear thermal rocket engines, it achieves stellar escape velocity, and activates FTL. Charon vanishes, never to be seen again. With no sign of survival and no return signal, humanity assumes the ship lost, and abandons the poorly understood technology in favor of more dependable stellar engines.
But Charon was not destroyed, merely lost. Phase shifted out of the Earth’s reference frame, it drifts on through space. Charon retains its initial velocity, but time becomes a complex quantity, endlessly oscillating. Eventually, as thousands of subjective years pass, Charon’s reactors go dormant, awaiting a gravitational signature before they awaken.
The ship enters the Epsilon Eridani system, and nothing happens. A malfunction perhaps, or a slight miscalculation in trajectory. The ship drifts on, blind and lifeless, through the void between spaces. Hundreds of thousands of years pass within, and finally, Charon detects a gravity well.
It emerges from the complex plane at the edge of a planet’s atmosphere, approaching at a velocity of more than seventy kilometers per second. Automation scarcely resumes before Charon enters the atmosphere.
The machine minds on board react instantly, igniting the reactors and torching the planet with nuclear fire in a frantic attempt to save the ship. They succeed partially, regaining control just long enough to jettison colony pods. Charon tumbles, hull warping in the heat, struts buckling. It is torn in half by the atmosphere, and crash-lands near the now-radioactive North Pole.
But the colony pods survive, mostly intact, to land at various parts of the globe. Their feeble artificial intelligences, damaged as they are from the sudden landing, begin the cloning process. And within a few short years, the first humans walk the hills of Asphodel. The machines raise the first generation, teaching them of the great classical philosophers and mythology, but nothing else. Damaged as they are, their memory banks contain no other information. The machines tell humanity that this is the afterlife, that the Ferryman Charon brought them to Asphodel as a final resting place.
Civilization rises in the East, and the great Empire of Ghazele grows to encompass the largest continent. The humans of Asphodel, drawn from the best genetic stock and modified to suit their environment quickly give rise to a society analogous to Earth’s Rome. Science and philosophy flourish.
As they stare up into the skies beyond in wonder, as all humans inevitably do, they see nothing. No stars—only a sun and distant worlds orbiting it. Based on their understanding of mathematics and a few fragments of information they extract from the machines, scientists of the time believe their solar system of Erebos to be the last surviving system in a post-heat death universe. All other stars gone dark, all worlds dead. Only Humanity, the last species in the universe, trapped in Hell.

[Part II]
But Hell is good, for a time at least. The Empire of Ghazele explores the globe, encountering other fledgling civilizations which they exploit or cooperate with as it suits them. In time, they even explore the hazardous and radioactive North Pole, home to an unusual plant called Taiben and tribes that are dependent upon it for sustenance. Taiben is addictive and possesses numerous beneficial properties, essentially acting as both an anagathic and a steroid. Naturally, the Ghazele explorers brought Taiben back to the empire, where it flourished. They eventually concocted a much more potent drug from the plant, and returned to the north to exploit the local tribes. The savages took to the drug a bit too well, slaughtered the expedition and began to migrate south in search of more.
Refined Taiben, in addition to being a tremendously powerful steroid, degrades mental functions and increases aggression. And so, when the uncivilized barbarians met with Ghazele’s well-trained armies, the barbarians won. They ravaged Ghazele, moving steadily south, laying waste to the cradle of civilization.
The “war” raged for three thousand years. It was as if the barbarian hordes of Europe had destroyed Rome, then returned again every year to destroy it again, forever.

[Part III]
Technology and science regressed and all hope was lost. But eventually, the surviving Ghazele colonies and trading partners regained their footing and resisted the Taiben tribes, forming islands of stability in a war-ravaged world.
Time passes, and the Greater Empire of Sanctus rises from the ruins. Sanctus begins the slow task of regaining territory lost to the barbarians. They conquer lands in the other continent, territories that will one day become the UCS and the Corporate Badlands. The Holy Sañira Protectorate rises, well protected from the Taiben by mountainous areas along its border.
Sanctus eventually becomes strong enough to challenge the complacent Taiben, who had been content to ravage the Ghazele heartland. But when Sanctus calls upon its reclaimed territories for support, the new isolationist regime of Sañira refuses, sparking a series of border conflicts between the two former friends. A surge in Taiben aggression and the conflict with Sañira force Sanctus to abandon its colonies, withdrawing to the Eastern-most peninsula.
Despite setbacks, technology improves, and firearms start to become commonplace. Civilized armies finally gain the upper hand, beating back the Taiben incursions. For almost forty years, life is comfortable.
And then the Taiben begin to manufacture their own rifles. They launch global raids against all countries they can reach, collectively known as the Grand Raid. The Grand Raid is only held back in the advanced nations by advantages granted by the newly developed steam power and electric communications.

[Part IV]
With the advent of the industrial age, the nations of the world unite against the Taiben, invading the Taiben’s mountainous homeland. Massive advancement in technology allows the Taiben tribal forces to be crushed, but guerrilla tactics, theft of supplies and ambient radiation makes occupation costly. The alliance is eventually forced to retreat, but not before first using atomic weapons—manufactured in the Corporate Badlands by Ingle’s Corp, deployed by Sanctus. The Taiben homeland is devastated, irradiated forever, entire mountain ranges reduced to slag.
But the Taiben live on.
A new world power rises—a single man. Geoff Ingle is the primary nuclear arms dealer for the entire world. He sells to all first-world nations, creating a cold war in the aftermath of the Taiben bombing.
The atomic age is beginning—and soon, humanity will aspire to rule their tiny dark system—to harvest its wealth, and thus somehow survive the heat death that has befallen every other system.
But truth is stranger than fiction—even this fiction of a dead race, cast down by the gods, trapped in hell, surrounded by a desolate universe. Charon’s arrival at Asphodel predates human civilization on Earth. It traveled in the spaces between stars for four hundred thousand years, and yet when it arrives at Asphodel, it arrives five thousand years before it left, crewed only by mad machines.
Hidden within their dark nebula, humanity’s offspring will soon be their equals.
It is 4390 years after the founding of the Ghazele Empire, thirty years before first contact.

Realms of Asphodel

[Ghazele Wastes]
Once the cradle of civilization, Ghazele’s former empire has been utterly obliterated. Now, this vast region is home to a plethora of warlords, kings and “planters”—those who sell Taiben plants or the refined drug to the barbarians.
Ghazele’s climate is varied, from the blistering deserts of the equator to the marshes and tundras in the north and south. Most of the region, however, is tropical and hot.
[Kingdom of Sanctus]
This waning superpower has gradually adopted a more and more isolationist stance in the wake of the Taiben occupation. Little information passes out of the walled cities of Sanctus, but what little does is worrying. Rumors of the creation of a “silicon microprocessor” have reached the ears of high GGB officials—and such a device, in the hands of the Sanctan techno-mystical priesthood, is troubling news indeed.
Sanctus occupies a wiry, elongated peninsula, lined with fiords and small island chains. Before the great raid, they were a center for great trade, but now, in the midst of a cold war, their borders are closed. Sanctus tends to be cold and wet, with ever-present fog shrouding its well-defended cities.
[Sañira]
Nestled between three mountain ranges, this police-state has endured Taiben raids for almost a thousand years. Now, with their ancient enemy diminished, Sañiran officials struggle to invent new foes to keep their people in line. Sañira boasts the most powerful army and navy, and is an industrial power only outmatched by the UCS.
Sañiran climate is moderately dry and average.
[Swehteir]
Protected from the Taiben by Sanira and the vast oceans, Swehteir is possibly the most well-protected nation from the Taiben. The most heavily invested in GGB, Swehteir owns almost half of all GGB offices worldwide, and thus almost half the votes. Fortunately, Swehteir has maintained a roughly neutral political stance in most matters.
Swehteir’s climate is among the most mild on Asphodel. It boasts the best living conditions.
[Corporate Badlands]
Initially a coalition of mining cartels formed after the withdrawal of Sanctus, this region is now a vast, industrial wasteland. With no central government, each corporation is a nation onto itself. The water is unsafe to drink and toxic waste is often dumped into the great northernmost river (nicknamed “the Small Stygian Marsh” by locals). Snipers from a shopping mall take potshots at employees at the car dealership just down the street. Because of this, it has one of the worst economies in the world, yet the highest profit margins.
The Corporate Badlands is home to megacorporations like Ingle’s Corp and Makaron Metals. It is the hottest and driest place on Asphodel—temperatures reaching as high as 40ºC during the summer.
[Ji-leh]
With its safest harbors rocky—almost mountainous, Ji-leh might initially seem a horrible base for a trade empire. But those dangerous harbors provide protection from Taiben rafts—and on Asphodel, immunity to the Taiben is far more important than any inconvenience. Historically a mixture of monastery and marketplace, Ji-leh is now the wealthiest nation, per capita, on the planet.
The climate is temperate, cold and mountainous.
[Ingle’s Land]
A cold, mostly empty island purchased by Geoff Ingle, who uses it mostly as a vacation home. It is home to a number of refugees, who are either ignored or used as target practice.
[United Coalition of States]
Once a collection of warring, Balkanized city-states, the UCS has grown tamer with time. With the advent of the Industrial Age, and its proximity to the Corporate Badlands, it has become a manufacturing superpower, supplying the entire alliance during the Taiben war and occupation. The UCS currently possesses the most well-developed space program, and is in the process of launching the first satellites.
UCS’s climate is temperate and varied.
[Conglomeration for Mutual Welfare]
Four years ago, a collection of states favoring socialist policies seceded from the UCS after heated debates concerning universal heathcare and welfare. Within a single year, CWM unemployment numbers hit 38%. The CWM requested to return to the UCS. The UCS refused. Things have gone downhill since.
CMW is heavily urban, with a mild climate.
[Global Governing Body]
In addition to controlling offices and facilities across the globe, the GGB owns its own island chain. Most permanent residents are involved in administrative tasks. The climate is humid and cold, fog often blanketing its cities.
[Taiben]
The word Taiben is synonymous with the barbarian tribes of the north, the plant with steroid-like qualities they are so fond of, and the land they call home. Much of Taiben is tundra or mountains, and it sports an unusually large number of caves and hotsprings heated by a natural fission reactor beneath the planet’s crust. The area was radioactive before the alliance nuked it—now it’s a wasteland. Many Taiben survived, but they are mostly disorganized.
[Zeeland and Strelia]
The islands of Zeeland and Strelia are an oddity amongst the nations of Asphodel, as the isolation of the ocean protected them from the worst of Taiben raids. A Ghazele colony, Strelia developed into an urban center, while the larger island of Zeeland was largely agricultural, feeding the populace of it's sister island. Protected as they were from the worst of the outside world, though maintaining trade with the other civilized nations, Strelia developed into a cosmopolitan hub of learning and art.
This all changed when, just over 5 decades ago, massive, terrifying creatures swarmed over Strelia, aggressively attacking its people, and digging nests. It's still unclear whether this event was some kind of natural migration event, or if it was somehow triggered by man, intentionally or otherwise. Whatever the case, the once beautiful cities of Strelia are now home to the most deadly animals on the planet. The survivors evacuated to Zeeland, where they have managed to reconstruct much of what they lost, but artefacts of great value still remain on the abandoned island. Many would-be treasure hunters and fortune seekers make their way over, hoping to recover items to sell.
[Flats of Light]
It isn’t called the Flats of Light because of any inherent goodness or hope-like quality. It’s called the Flats of Light because it’s really fucking bright. Cloudless skies, ozone holes and reflective salt flats result in blinding and harmful rays. Those few who call the Flats of Light home wear protective goggles when outside or risk blindness.
[The White Sands]
Further south of the Flats of Light lies the White Sands—perhaps the strangest place on the planet. The White Sands, so named because one cannot tell the sand from the snow, is home to crazy, intoxicated “Rooskees” who roam this desolate land in dune buggies. Not a drop a water has fallen over The White Sands in recorded history, nor has any of the snow melted. Snow falls over the sandstone mountains to the West, where it is carried inland on strong winds—along with a healthy amount of sand, ripped from the sandstone.
[The Glorious South]
Those who travel further south than the Flats of Light are generally considered insane. The Glorious South is the most inhospitable place in all of Asphodel. Temperatures remain cold enough to freeze a man in his tracks, and yet there still remain mad survivalists who live here, eking out a bleak existence in the ice.

Worlds of Erebos

[Erebos]
Erebos, a small yellow star, surrounded by seven planets. To those within the system of Erebos, other stars are not visible—hidden from view by the cold nebula that surrounds the system.
[Kronos]
A tiny, scorched world, extremely close to Erebos. Kronos has an eccentric orbit, and is suspected to have a high metal content.
[Stygia]
Commonly called the Stygian Marsh, Stygia is a runaway greenhouse planet with similarities to Venus. It has greater gravity than Asphodel and a much thicker atmosphere.
[Phlegethon]
Moon of Stygia, Phlegethon is little more than a captured asteroid.
[Asphodel]
Asphodel is similar to Earth, but markedly less hospitable. A thinner atmosphere and a weaker sun make it colder and more prone to extremes in temperature.
[Akheron]
First moon of Asphodel, Akheron rocky and cratered.
[Mnemosyne]
A small ice moon in a distant orbit around Asphodel.
[Hekate]
A cold, red, low-gravity world with a thin methane atmosphere.
[Avernos]
Hekate’s only moon is tidally locked.
[Lethe]
A small, dead world with considerable uranium reserves.
[Scylla]
The only gas giant in the Erebos system, Scylla has a considerable host of moons.
[Elysion]
Despite being much further from the sun, Elysion is arguably more habitable than Asphodel. Of comparable mass and size, its atmosphere is considerably thicker. Geothermal vents heat the moon, supplying enough heat to keep it warm year-round. While little life exists on land, Elysion’s oceans are teeming with life.
[Kokytos]
An ice world a fifth the size of Asphodel.
[Demos]
Massive, of comparable size to Stygia.
[Oneiroi]
A captured asteroid with a very eccentric orbit.
[Pol]
Even smaller than Oneiroi, Pol is also a captured asteroid.
[Taenarum]
Furthest world in the Erebos system, Taenarum is covered in a layer of ice.
[Notes on the Nebula]
The cold, dark nebula that surrounds Erebos provides a very effective shield, blocking relativistic objects and most forms of FTL due to sheer density. Ships can pass through it normally at more reasonable speeds though. The nebula begins approximately 30 AU from the highest point in Taenarum’s orbit.

Edited to more closely match the nation sheet and RP requirements.

[A-Traveller]

That was fast. I guess carrying your application over from another RP works out in your favor. A quick inspection makes it seem like an all right format, if a bit excessive. I'll give it a read through in a bit.

トピックスステム (Xai Qian)

Faction Type: Absolute Monarchy.

Species: シャオ (Xiao): Xiaos stand over six feet tall, have two long, proportionately thick fingers and an opposable thumb on each hand, each tipped with talons, and a set of mandibles around their mouths. They also have evolved the metallic carapace (which contains trace amounts of thulium) trait as a defense against the greater levels of solar radiation that penetrate their homeworld's weak magnetic field. As for other worlds with stronger magnetic fields, they get dizziness and fatigue for the first few weeks or a few months. But, once their bodies get used to the new magnetic field, they are good and well as they were on their homeworld.

Scale and Territory: At its end of The Interplanetary Era and the starting of Basic Interstellar Era. While their territory isn't large, it's growing bigger, they have their homeworld: リュキア (Lycia). The other two colonies are near the sun and are called: 新しいペルシャ (New Persia) and ケンタッキーマニ (Ky Mani). The population of the colonies and the homeworld is five billion. They also found other solar systems near them, that can be useful to them.

Culture: Artists are very common because of their drawings, books, poetry, and many other things. Music and plays are used as a form of entertainment within towns and cities and can be used during a holiday. People who break the law are sent to a mine to work, but if someone kills or rapes a person(s), they get torture in public. They must go to the Royal Court and they are allowed to be found guilty or not guilty. Everyone must be able to read, write, do math, and many other things. Education is needed in order to join the military, the Royal Court, and get a job (that can make more money than other jobs).

History: A summary of the faction’s origins and major events involving the faction

Technology: An overview of the faction’s technological capabilities. Include their FTL method.

Military Forces: There is fifty million within the military forces on the homeworld and the colonies. Twenty million are in the army while another twenty million are in space and ten million are in other military forces (navy, air, etc).

[HounderHowl]

S.R.P.

Fation name: Sentient Robotic Protector (S.R.P.)

Faction Type:Republic

Species: Average robotic height is 6' they weight slightly less than a human would 190lbs. their frames are built with a structured polymer making them lighter and stronger than the average human. Their heads resemble humans with blank faces an no ears/hair. Three small optical lenses can be found on the face plate. A way too make them selves unique is upon awakening they draw, make their own faces via paint. Generally its basic two eyes and a mouth. They can lift up too 400lbs with out causing damage to systems. Their agile, being able to perform limited parkor, they have high run speeds that tops out at 40mph or 64kph. They have select coverings, thin pieces of polymers that act as protection and in some cases fashion ( generally get painted on by eccentric robotics ) With out military attachments they are required to communicate face to face, but with attachments they can do so planet wide.

Scale and territories: Advanced Interstellar, though only found on one planet, Maw, their creators former territories spanned across many systems, soon though the colonies rebelled and eventually their creators killed each other leaving behind a single planet, with all of their knowledge and DNA so that one day they can be brought back.

Maw: maw is a large planet capable of housing life. It has vast oceans and sprawling forests. Most organics refer to it as "paradise" though its inhabitants prefer to call it "home." The there exists many large sprawling cities all capable of housing organic life though some have been empty for centuries. Only four or five cities on the entire planet are in operation their builds have been cannibalized into ships, or other things Now it has a series of mines, factories, and small large square buildings used primarily for recharge. There is a large dome structure in the center of the capitol city which has been fitted for organic life in case the unthinkable happens and their creators returned. It would provide the first 10,000 a place to grow, learn and rule once they reached a proper age. Though no sentient organic life form has touched the surface of the planet In several millennium It is still fully functional. One would think the other cities would deteriorate but small relentless robotics continue to service and clean each city a group of about (100,000)

Culture: The monarchy has a simple life Robotics carry out their tasks day in and out happily, they share information between each other as they work. And because they need such little rest, stopping only to recharge for about an hour or two, they generally advance quickly. They build upon their creators former infrastructure and world. They study everything imaginable, but mostly focus on synthetic life. They build, improve and redesign programming, they design and build weapons, ships, non-sentient AI, they constantly strive to learn more about their little universe. Though in recent years some have been wondering about things off of this planet. This has caused much debate in recent days.

History: The creators considered themselves god, they often times played it too. Their vast technology, and scientific ability caused many in civilized, or technologically unadvanced civilization to cower in fear they were the supreme rulers of their known galaxy. They destroyed, and built cities in a matter of nights. But eventually the others grew tired of being scared, grew tired of oppression and began a war which spanned generations. By the end their known universe was left in darkness. All the best and brightest died off, those who survived descended into choas. Their creators survived by leaving behind their legacy, and the chance to thrive again. The planet had many buried secrets some being discovered every day. But now the lonley robotics are the only one left of a once vast empire. And since then they have done their duties. Though after thousends of years those duties slowly were forgotten.

Rogue AI: After years of being aware an AI can go loopy it effects 1/100. When it happens they slowly deteriorate into madness. If not caught and wiped they usually will escape and flee the planet. Though none have figured out where they go.

Technology: They constantly seek new technologies. They pour a lot of resources into robotics, weapons, ships, and most importantly programming though they do study other things. It is not as prominent.

FTL: Their creators developed a FTL travel device known as Electro magnetic discharge drive (ESDD) Requires the use of a large "Discharge platform" that are built around many of the dead planets in the solor system. When the device is charged it causes the ship to launch at incredible speeds, after it goes near the Discharge Platform and coordinates are set. The craft enters into what Most Robotic scientists call "Bridged Space" as they theorize that it bends their current demnsion so that instead of flying in a straight line covering great distance they cut across to said desired location. U < our dimension after drive is endadged cuts across the top.

Military Forces: 5million

S.R.P. Marine Corp: Robotic frames are fitted with a special alloy involving titanium and an element found on their planet called SPX020 which gives high heat rating but also a decent damage resistance. Their outfitted with small boost packs, military grade communication devices. Their internal vital components sre protected from emp via led lining.For weaponry they carry the BA1 Harbinger, a carbine that fires a .308 slug using high pressures, created inside the carbine. Has a fire rate of 800rpm, and a distance of 1000 meters, penitration of most armor at 800 meters. They're out fitted with explosive devices such as the Synthetic Eraser, a strong emp grenade that has a 3m blast radious, it can penetrate through most led shielding. A Cluster grenade, that parts into smaller units and them explodes causing mass damage. And a HE grenade that can be stuck, or planet and donated via remote.They also have other weapons such as snipers, Anti-Vehicle weapons and anti-Ship

The Protectorate Guard uses armor built out of organic compounds found from a local arachnid that gives it incredible bullet resistance. They use a hybrid Light machine gun, Assault rifle. It's name is KeeperX454 it fires plasma rounds break on contact and release the package. It has a batter which can be recharged via the sun while in use. It has a no sun recharge time of 1 hour, it can be used for up too 48 hours. The magazine holds 500 bullets. And is easy to change. They carry an array of explosives to include but not limited Shinners ( a trip mine that takes things out at the shin region ), HE grenades, Synthetic Eraser, Cluster grenade, plasma grenade, and a composite type explosive capable of taking out heavy armor.

Avvar Collective

Faction Name: Avvar Collective (A.C.)

Faction Type: Meritocratic Dictatorship

Species: Avrek(translates to "Child of Avvar") : The Avrek stand at a slightly taller than human 6" to 6"3 and tend to be substantially more heavy with a healthy individual of the species being 250 to 300 lbs. They have a skin-tone that ranges from light green to gray and pronounced lower teeth. As a whole the species is widespread but a recent dip in birthrates has troubled doctors and scientists. They also require a very specific atmosphere to breathe in and so in any trip away from their home world they must wear a complex respirator or suffocate.

Scale and Territory: Basic interstellar, They are in firm control of their solar system and have made three test runs to the closest star so far.
Planets they control:
Avvar(Translates to "One who Provides") : Homeworld and origin of the Avrek species, shares a binary orbit with the planet Kelvas. Has a much denser composition than Earth and so has a stronger gravitational pull. Also has a unique atmosphere based off of methane as opposed to Earths oxygen/nitrogen mix. Has three major continents Darvor in the east, Salva in the northwest and south of them is Freldan

Culture: The Avrek people value order and discipline at an almost religious level whether this is a result of the relatively recent civil war that had the Avrek in chaos for several decades is anyone's guess but, it is undeniable that Avrek society today puts a heavy emphasis on each member of the community finding and fulfilling their purpose. With a mentality such as this it is no surprise that the military is a popular form of employment and in fact all members of The Avvar Collective are expected to serve for a minimum of three years in at least one branch of the armed forces. While the Avrek from an outside perspective may seem brutish and simpleminded they only act after much deliberation and discussion. Young Arvek are tested to ascertain their aptitudes and to determine the best possible education path for them to take. After finishing introductory school Arvek choose an academy to join based on their optimal career paths and upon completion of their training in the chosen academy their compulsory service begins.

History:
The history of the Arvek is one of relative peace the Arvek inclination to more militaristic activities meant that after a relatively short series of wars the Arvek people quickly united as a whole. However their progress quickly met its greatest problem. During the short period of combat which would come to be called The Unification Wars a religion came into power known as the Cult of Seravat who preached a message of Arvek Supremacy and avid militarism. While at first the new world government ignored the Cult it quickly proved itself when it declared the entire continent of Darvor its "Holy Land" and demanded the forced relocation of the native "Heathens" in order to claim it. When the government denied the ridiculous request the Cult declared the entire government "Agents of Evil" and began advocating resistance and revolt.

After a few months of high tensions things came to a head when one morning Cult extremists stormed the offices of local administrators in Darvor and executed the staff. This kicked off a series of riots that caused hundreds of deaths and great damage to the major cities of Darvor. But it would not be until General Ralston Helgan and approximately 850,000 soldiers under his command executed any who would not join them and took control of a major army base in Darvor for the Cult and a period of civil unrest turned into an outright civil war.

It took six years for the Cult of Saravat to be defeated and by the end of it most of Darvor had been reduced to a bombed and destroyed wasteland. In total the Avvar civil war cost the lives of over a million Arvek with a staggering 87% estimated to have been civilian casualties. General Ralston Helgan was killed by members of his own Cult when he surrendered to A.C. forces. Many believed that the cult died with General Helgan but in reality it just moved into the shadows. In the wake of the civil war the world government underwent a sever restructuring and out of it came the current form of the Avvar Collective.

Technology:
Horizon Drive- The currently experimental engine that if it works will propel the Avrek into interstellar travel. By artificially creating a black hole the drive uses the particular radiation created by a black hole to propel itself through space at super-luminal speeds. It currently has only been used in three unmanned test runs two of which have ended in the destruction of the ship. Scientists are hopeful that with the success of the last mission a safe form of the travel will be available soon.

Fusion Propulsion- the current engine system used by interplanetary ships which uses controlled fusion reactions to propel themselves. Can reach the edge of the solar system in a few hours.

Laser Cannons- one of the newest innovations in weaponry developed by the Arvek these weapons fire high intensity beams of electrons capable of boiling metal away in seconds. However the power sources required to fire these weapons prohibits them from being used as anything other than implanted turrets or mounted onto a ship at least for now.

R.A.C.E. suits- Robotic Assist Combat Exoskeleton The pride and joy of the Avvar Armed Forces these 8" tall mechanical beasts wield a variety of weaponry and are capable of fighting when no normal soldier would be able.
Military Forces:
Avvar Collective Ground troops:
approximately 1 million active footsoldiers


834,000 Armored vehicles


640,000 R.A.C.E. suits(with pilots)


Avvar Collective Navy(Space-faring) :
5 Fighter-Carriers


12 Destroyers

Faction Name: The Human Coalition of Akar (HCA)
Faction Type: Fascist-socialism.
Species: Species in the faction, including a brief description of any non-human species.
Scale and Territory: Basic Interstellar, although they are approaching the technological level for Interstellar. Despite the unreliability, they have already established infrastructure on two planets in a neighboring star system, as well as settled four other planets in their own, besides Akar. Only the home planet and one other have populations beyond the thousands, however.

Culture: Nationalism still runs high in Akar, although other planets in the coalition are not so fervent. Akarian humans do share a strong xenophobic tendency; few none-humans are found in Akarian space, and they generally seem to approve of their military, as many HCA soldiers are volunteers (although others are conscripts). This may have to do with the propaganda that has become standard in the HCA; sedition is a punishable offense (and is often punished), and the minds of Akarian citizens are constantly impressed upon with nationalist, xenophobic, pro-government opinions, with no others allowed to have a say (except as a strawman). Centuries of this draconian system have refined it and given it great cultural inertia; no one Akarian knows anything else.

History: Akarastle has undergone significant change over the past millennium; although it was originally a far-flung colony, the people of Akar underwent a nationalistic revolution, becoming their own sovereign state. Since then, they have developed from a large colony to a full-blown interplanetary regime, under the iron fist of fascist ruler after fascist ruler. Their startling research speed and population growth, as well as their heavily militaristic and xenophobic nature, would no doubt startle other nations, if the HCA kept in contact with any of them.

Their first colony, Chorrum, was the result of a startlingly-large-scale project that the HCA has become known for; half of the population of the capital planet was shipped to their new homes, over almost a century of hard labor and expense, on a neighboring planet. Despite this exhausting (and quite strange) population split, the HCA has continued to aggressively colonize other planets, although with much less expense. Nonetheless, the HCA finds itself overextended, and the current leader of Akar finds corruption and general unrest at an all-time high, as well as having to deal with the infinite problems inherit in keeping an empire afloat across the depths of space in hostile environments.

Technology: Basic Interstellar, bordering on Interstellar. Space travel as achieved through a device called the Specter's Ballista (or just the Ballista). A large device on the Akar Space Station transmits matter to a parallel plane, where relatively and the speed of light are not constraints. The ship must be specially-designed to leave the plane, called Plane S, and must place itself directly inside the boundaries of a Specter Target, a much more manageable device that can bring specialized ships back to the regular plane. Travels that can take centuries can occur in mere months, although the Ballista is massively expensive, and a Target must be built first. Ships CAN materialize without the Target, but the ship is destroyed four times out of five, even if specialized for the materialization; this is how the Targets were built in the first place. One can not return to Plane S without another Ballista, so all ships going out of Akar are one-way.

Akarian weapons systems rely on plentiful nuclear missiles to obliterate enemies on land and in space. Most 'warships' are little more than missile turrets, whose defense relies on an overwhelming offense. Any others are STL (space-to-land) Bombardment ships, who specialize in entering the atmosphere of enemy planets and bombarding them with nukes.

Military ground forces wield the Godhand Rifle Mark V, which transmits an enormous amount of energy into a specialized bullet that sends a powerful shockwave through the target, disintegrating most materials. Heavier ground forces wield more powerful and faster-firing Godhands, or simply have nuclear capabilities.

Military Forces: The military forces of the HCA are actually quite tame, comparatively, featuring mostly defensive and ground forces. Although their standing army is large, it also doubles as a police force, propaganda center, and justice system, with generals playing the role of judges. It also is heavily connected to hard labor, often using conscripts to build infrastructure or conscripting laborers. Akar itself boasts a defensive space station and a small fleet, but other colonies are mostly undefended from space.

All right. I've looked over your edits and it seems fine now. I'll double check later tonight and accept it along with any other complete ones tonight (7-8 hours from now).

[Riemann]

Just updated our faction sheet. It should more closely match the nation sheet and whatnot.

@Big Al Jefferson
Your application looks good. You just need to fill out technology and you're good to go. A brief overview of their unique technologies and their FTL, if present. For example, do they have a focus on gene manipulation or cybernetics? Do they make use of coilguns, missiles, lasers? You don't need to exclude technologies (you could have gene manipulation and cybernetics), but I'd like to know what differentiates you from a near future Earth.

Sorry if you already know this and your app is still a WIP. It looked complete, other than that section.

Faction Name: Central Endasian Government

Faction Type: Council among preeminent states on the homworld.

Species: Cason, humanoid bipedals the Cason have limited water breathing capabilities but greatly prefer the air. Standing on average 5 feet tall the Cason are a short people but are fiercely intelligent and often difficult to kill due to their strong scale covered skin, though this melts to softer skin around a bald head. The total population rests around 14 billion.

Scale and Territory: The CEG is in command of their entire home system and two nearby stars that were colonized with sleeper ships that arrived there some one hundred and five and again fifty years ago. The CEG developed a primitive intermittent FTL drive recently that enables travel speeds of 1.3c roughly twenty years ago. Though generally inefficient in terms of star travel the colonies and the home world now have to deal with each other and the sudden relative ease of travel (from many decades or centuries to three or four years). This has resulted in an increased control of colonial government and polices; changes which have strained relationships and led to growing independence movements on the colonies.

Culture: Extremely diverse due to its method of governance the CEG maintains wildly different cultures and ethnic groups through a policy of self-governed regions. The largest of these regions make up the council of ten that leads the CEG. The dominant cultures (usually spread over several governing states) are as follows:

Eastern Cultural Sphere: Within what was originally a political block several hundred years ago to the east of the recently more powerful Central region a very conservative culture is found. With an emphasis on morality and tradition Eastern culture is often among the most religious and it is there that the largest population of religious peoples is found. This modern culture is reinforced by a rich history that can be seen in Eastern cities as ancient stonework streets and houses are often located below the towering and often monolithic sky scrapers of the modern day. This historical remnant is left over from thousands of years of the East being the largest hub of science and prosperity prior to the rise of industry. It is this former glory that has brought about a nationalist and often racist sentiment in the East that persists despite constant campaigns aimed toward ensuring global stability. Old and prideful the East can be seen as the least socially developed in many aspects of society, namely in the often lower value of rights and the active movements attempting to stop minorities there from having voting rights.

Central Cultural Sphere: Several of the largest and most advanced regions of today exist here, liberal and secular the Central cultural sphere is changing and rarely holds a single value for more than a few decades before attitudes change in another direction. While culturally dynamic Central Sphere peoples often hold to values that promote science and thinking even if they come at the cost of morals, which in the Central Sphere come and go quickly enough. However that is not to say that there is no common thread in morality, usually those in the Central sphere hold strong to the concepts of equality and basic rights for all peoples. It is no wonder that a defining aspect of Central culture revolves around progress, something that often puts Central peoples at odds with the Eastern peoples.

Southern Cultural Sphere: An expansive and fractal landmass that may as well be called an island chain the Southern Cultural sphere is among the most superstitious and old of cultures. Among the least advanced but most populous the Southern sphere is where most colonists are drawn from seeking a better future, this has led to the Southern culture by and large being the one accepted on the colonies. Old religions and tribal culture abound in the South. Strangely with the addition modern technology to some degree the South has adapted and the shamanistic religions have come to be instead focused on technoshamanism, some idea that technology and magic operate the same and used in conjunction have the greatest effect. This mixture of primitive culture and advanced technology has made a very interesting society that is one foot in the distant past and one foot looking to the distant future. This has also made the South the greatest believer in augmentation, to superstitiously be in closer contact with the spirits and to gain wisdom genetic engineering and cybernetic enhancements abound.

This diversity has proved divisive in some ways as many decisions are stone walled by certain elements of the council that call them violations of their cultural identity. However as communication between all regions increases a growing push to a more unified state has begun and labelled itself the Unity movement. While smaller than any dominant regional culture the Unity movement has shown to be a very pro colonization pro science liberal group.

History:

The history of the Cason is one of conflict and conquest. Originating in the southern island chains the species first migrated to the east and eventually the north and west. Due to the difficulty of agriculture in the South tribal culture maintained its authority for thousands of years until the industrial revolution. In the East however things were much different.

In the east the Cason quickly discovered agriculture and within a few thousand years of the initial migration found nation states and became the most advanced peopled on the planet. However this advance often was the result of warring factions. The East would maintain this position of superiority until during a period of peace several explorations missions were sent and reported a vast continent to the west and north. This led to a scramble for new lands among the Eastern powers. It was during this period of colonial land grabs on a new continent that the eastern powers came into conflict with each other and fought the first long war. Lasting a hundred years the war eventually caused the colonial possessions to declare independence and caused the East to slump into massive depression in which many starved and most of the monarchies of the region were abolished. The lands once colonized by the rose above the Eastern powers and spearheaded a move to industry, and after the industrial revolution largely colonized the Southern islands. The Eastern nations slowly recovered from the first long war and began implementing the advances made in their former colonies.

When the East had fully recovered the world was not situated in the West and North, but the Central region. Mass migrations followed and for a time there was trade and peace on most fronts. It was the south however that ended this, seeking independence from the Central powers a massive guerrilla war in the South brought the Central powers industry to a halt. Needing the South’s resources the Central powers eventually negotiated treaties and many new southern nations were born, although they would continue their own wars for the next twenty years before stability began to return. Things went on as expected for hundreds of years beyond this point, wars were fought and empires toppled but nothing truly revolutionary changed. That was until a powerful Central region nation launched a rocket into space and soon after demonstrated an Atomic weapon. This sent the entire world into an arms race in an attempt to overpower this Central nation by the name of Endasia. The race never ended for ninety three years it drove on, space colonies were founded and Endasia continued to keep the lead, politically taking over much of the Central region and founding the Endasian Union. However when the race ended it was because the second long war had begun.

Lasting eighty six years and averting nuclear war though a constant series of coincidences the war was largely conventional. It was for the first time waged on the ground sea air and in space. Hundreds of millions would die but by the end of the War the Endasian Union was simply in a better position than the other nations, and surrender was the only option. In the wake of the war the Central Endasian Government was formed allowing all nations that surrendered and many that didn’t political autonomy and a seat on a new council that would rule the new world nation.

The next six hundred years saw scientific progress as their chief. A push to colonize the rest of the star system succeeded and eventually resulted in the sending of sleeper ships to two verified worlds. Those ships arrived roughly one hundred and five, and fifty years ago. Twenty years ago primitive FTL was discovered and a true stellar empire was on its first legs.

Technology:

FTL: Recent FTL advances have allowed a space warp drive capable of 1.3c to be developed. Primitive but reliable the drive is the first step in a plan to develop a 10c drive that would facilitate mass colonization of nearby star systems.

Sub Light: Nuclear fusion engines are used to accelerate to an operationally safe speed of .45c.

Weapons:

Ground arms: Kinetic rifles such as hand held railguns are the primary ground weapons used by the CEG.

Ship Arms: 100mt-1000mt guided missiles are the main weapons on all CEG ships, however recently Graser technology has been added to all large ships as their new primary weapon.

Bodily Enhancement: Cybernetic and genetic enhancement is common in the CEG but is only widely accepted as right and good in the Southern region.

Military Forces:
Enlisted Personnel: 24 Million
Logistical Support Personnel: 38 Million

Ship Classifications:

Kosan Light Frigate: (18 in service; 12 CS, 6 HWDF) (84 in reserve; 58 CS, 26 HWDF)

Engines:
Lacking FTL the Kosan is a small ship that’s runs off old fusion engines capable of acceleration to .23c in some nine hours of acceleration. Exceeding this sublight speed limit risks shield failure upon collision with microparticles.

Shields:
The Kosan operates weak shielding that is mainly designed to counter particulates hitting the shit at c-frac speeds.

Arms:
Point Defense Solid State Laser x20
Nuclear Rated Missile Tube Warhead x4

Bio:
First deployed some 43 years ago the Kosan is outdated in most respects and serves little more than a limited scouting and combat support role among Colonial security divisions. Stores hold 8 missiles.

Basong Cruiser: (48 in service; 5 CS, 43 HWDF) (0 in reserve; 0 CS, 0 HWDF)

Engines:
The Basong carries an FTL drive and optimized fusion engines capable of acceleration to .45c in one hour of acceleration. Past this speed micro particles threaten shield integrity; though .60c travel is possible shields will operate in a severely weakened state.

Shields:
The Basong operates combat oriented fluctuating frequency energy shields rated to 140 exajoules impact energy before failure.

Arms:
Point Defense Ultraviolet Laser x60
Nuclear Rated Missile Tube x20
STS X-Ray Laser x12
STS Gamma Ray Laser x4

Bio:
Deployed ten years ago the Basong is the newest vessel in service. Equipped with Graser technology as well as X-Ray lasers the Basong is a ship built for space combat with limited bombardment options having only 20 nuclear missile tubes and only 100 missiles in store.
