Why thank you! And yes, I know i'm very on the edge with everything I did in this sheet. Still, i'm touched you trust me with it!Anyway, moving onto your questions!1: Do they have infrastructure? Sort of. Each Cephaol claims their own stake in the oceans of their systems if they wish to be somewhat grounded and settled (which many research Cephaols do). Their 'buildings' are instead communal cave networks that is carved out by the Cephaol staking it's claim in the area. The inside of these giant underwater cave networks can be dotted with all sorts of random goodies: designs, built technology, scraps and materials. In terms of these Cephaol 'homes' communicating with themselves on a larger racial scale, they do. But usually only within their Cephaol focus. Research groups will probably hold steady communication with other research groups, warlike groups will 'broadcast' hunting sectors and such to other war likes, though these groups will rarely interact. But mostly, each is an island of intelligence. 2: How are the Cephlonars constructed? How do they refine goods and create things?I'm glad you asked! Cephlonars are created by hand. or, you know, by tentacle. Each Cephlarrior creates it himself as he becomes a Cephalion. Now if you;re wondering how they actually pull any of this off, they have their psionic capabilities to thank. You may recall that one of their abilities is the capability to interact with the physical constants and properties of materials they come into contact with. This can include raising and lowering boiling points and melting points (so they can fuse and forge and weld and cut), altering malleability (to make materials super easy to shape) and such and so forth. Their ability to produce voltage through their tentacles also helps with this. Their bodies are literal tools, and each Cephlonar is a labour of love. Material is refined through their ability to alter material states, and they think that's pretty damn neat. 3: Food.They try not to stay in space for *too* long, but like a lot of things that they are capable of, their ability to survive in space is due to their size. You know how a fat person can live off their own fat for ages? It's kind of like that. Except that Cephlarrior are truly fat people indeed. They will feast extensively before leaving for space, often adding hundreds (if not more) of tonnes of weight in pure fat reserves. These reserves can last a long time if needed, though most Cephlarrior don't like to push their limits to avoid the danger of such. I hope this answers your questions.


Yes, yes it does

Darkmatter- "The hau is likely the largest empire we have to begin with as far as I can tell; be prepared for the amount of hostility this brings with it"

I'm still trying to figure this one without any knowledge on the situation. far too ominous.

If I don't, I'm making a new nation.
The bears are cool, but they were based off a book [certainly not exactly as they were in the book] and I don't want to ruin my mental image of them by playing their people badly.

Finished my NS, though I'm stuck as to how to make some sort of perpetual energy machine plausible. I'm not as good with this future science stuff as many of you seem to be.

An idea that Serp came with and although I know ASTA is opposed, I'll still show it in case it gets interrests.

As to justify how beings from one end of the galaxy to another are similar in look and anatomy to the point where they could put their dicks in their vaginas despite the billions of light years separating them, the idea of a common ancestor. An experiment for scientific purpose or the idea of a perfect pet/slave race, the humans to be engineered by the Kritans tens of thousands of years ago and seeded into space.

I plan on going full eldar for fan service's sake, but since I came to notice the spread of humans, this idea came up.

Thoughts?

Well keep in mind the Fiction part of Science fiction allows for some leeway. We can create technologies that may not be entirely plausible. Obviously we can't go overboard but we are allowed to Justify one or two extrordinary Things that should not be entirely possible, at least as far as we can currently say.

Quick question, can I be more then one power? As in could I have both science and military down for my power?

Generally getting around the problem of the Second Law of Thermodynamics is pretty big. Its the greatest enemy of every mad scientist. If you need help, probably ask Terminal... He is the RP's resident crazed mad scientist/physicist/other stuff, I just have learning in economics and business management.

@Duck: On that note, the economic model you mentioned in your NS is not 'new' or irregular , it is essentially a form of Proto-Communism or Authoritarian Socialism, similar to what the early communist and socialist theorists advocated, and is quite well known.

@Wernher: I obviously accept the idea since I suggested it, but it depends on what most human-players think

I don't think I ever stated it was new, I was pretty much finding a way to up the amount of control the Goverment had over the Lance Union, and saw that and used it.
Edit:I would also still like a answer to my previous question.

Apologies, I looked back again and realized it was "Not normal", but regardless my point still stands.

@Duck: Yes. The Sphere for example is Industrial primarily, followed by Military and Tech-Bureaucratic as its focuses. I assume you can have multiple so long as its not ridiculous (E.g: Focus: Everything)

Alright
I think I will have Science be the most important focus, military as a major one, and then industry as a major one, but below those two.

Finished off the Lancian's history, which also acts as the history of the Union, and did the Irakiv, Kzukix are left as well as a technological overview, then a run through spellcheck.

Mine should be done in the next 12 hours or so, to me it's just about there with just a few more touches. Unless you think it needs drastically more or anything.

Also, this is the first RP that I have written a over 2000 word app for. I think its mainly because I have so much I wanna say about the Union.

My God duck.. you take most of my principals here.

Its almost a authoritative version of the hau. I mean seriously its almost the same thing. Just replace state honor with state control etc.

I even have the hau union!

The funny thing is I haven't even read a single bit of your app.
I have been focusing on mines, haven't really read anybody elses, so I didn't copy or anything like that.

You should read all the apps before making your own

Well the fun bit is when I get to the technological overview. I get to describe there complete lack of any morals or ethics.

For example, while we consider anesthesia really cheap due to the fact that they lack a proper currency is considered a unnecessary expense when doing cybernetic augmentation or synthesis. So they operate on people, with tools and processes that are much more painful then regular surgery, without anesthesia.

And the fact that they willingly dropped a bomb that killed god knows how many innocents purely because a species refused to join them, or there complete disregard for life, as they don't mind employing chemical and biological weapons in warfare.

Seriously, you should read the other NS's, it will help you diversify your nation to make it truly unique.
