Government Type/Operation/Description: The status of a person within the Lance Union has to do with two things, intelligence, and service to the Lance Union as a whole. The Grand Council serves as both the head of state and head of goverment, making most major decesions for the Union. The Goverment and the union also operates on the basis of the "Greater Good". This means that people are expected to act for the Union as a whole. Propganda and indoctrination methods are also used to make sure everyone stays to the idea of the greater good, and often is hard for someone from the Lance Union to adapt to other cultures due to this indoctrination. The Lance Union's government also might be described as totalitarian, as the greater good doctrine is often used a excuse to spy on people. Micro-chipping is mandatory for everyone, and is used to track and keep watch on every citizen. There is also no normal trial system, as the police act as judge, jury, and executioner. Also on a last note religion and worship is stricly outlawed, and anyone found practicing it is sent for "re-education".
Economic System/Prosperity: The Lance Union does not possess a normal economic system. Resources and industry is all controlled by the Goverment. In place of normal currency, citizens are issued points for there work, which can be exchanged for food and other items. The Goverment tends to keep currency from there closet neighbors on hand however, when doing trading.

Physical Characteristics:Lancians are tall, and there body colors can vary widely. They can be blue, red, green, or purple. Due to this there are some other species that actually refer to them as the rainbow race. There hair tends to be short, or non-existant, but when a Lancian does have hair it is either black, grey, or white. Lancians are very frail, with the strongest not even reaching average human strength. To make up for this they are extremely intelligent, which allows them to advance at a faster rate then other species. Lancians also are less capable of reproduction, so there population growth tends to be a lot slower.
Abilities:As mentioned above Lancians are extremely intelligent, and usually think of situations logically. They are like other species still subject to there emotions, but less so. Lancians are also a species of psionics, a ability based on there intelligence and willpower. However unlike other psionics, the Lancians psionics is based of energy. Energy in the body is needed to cast psionics, and energy can be moved around or asborbed into the body. The Lancians can store more energy in there bodies and there bodies use it more efficiently. This also means psionics can be used to do more then just shoot bolts of blue energy or mind control, examples include creating fire or with enough energy wounds can be healed.
Religion:The Lancians have no religion. Do to there logic and extreme intelligence they see it as illogical, and often refer to nations and species that still possess it or actively endorse it as primitive. There was thought to be a belief system at one point, but it was likely squashed early on in the Lancians history.
Culture:The center of Lance culture and a dominate influence in it is the idea of the Greater Good. The idea of the Greater Good is that the indivual should work for the the good of the group as a whole, rather then work for themselves. This idea is enforced throughout childhood and well into adulthood, resulting in a heavily indoctrinated society. The Lancians also heavily believe in the ideals of unity and peace, however indivual freedom is often looked down upon, as it is thought to be counteractive to the greater good. Despite them believing in peace, they aren't afraid to go to war, and have the habit of using weapons other species would never think to use during war, such as biological and chemical weapons, or weapons capable of devestating vast swaths of planets. Another important aspect of Lancian culture is using logic to reason through everything, and taking a the long term solution rather then short term ones.

Here's what I have so far. Everything is done with the exception of the client races and the history of the Lancians, as well as the technological overview. I also have yet to run it through spell check.
. A more equal spread makes far more sense. We don't need to be next to each other to have prior contact or longterm relations; the joys of FTL.
nothing much.
