So, my post is lost to the void that is the internet. I will try again soon. Sorry :S

[WilsonTurner]

Yee, lately I've tried to post but nothing goes through, and I just end up hitting Submit Post and then nothing happening except for the page being refreshed and nothing posted. I've lost several thingies that way.

My Incoherent Attempt at an Application if it were hit by a truck twice

Name of Nation:
The Bornstellar Confederation, of Athion Primeus.

Species:
The Cordiant.

To start, the Cordiant are a ghostly looking people. They are incredibly similar to humans in appearance, but there are quite a few notable differences. While being typically slender for their height of nearly six feet, most Cordiant can be broad and bulky. Very rarely do they exceed two meters in height due to the gravity of their home-planet, which is two times stronger than earth. However, some research regarding Cordiant born in the colonies suggest that it is possible for a maturing Cordiant to grow a little taller than their average.

They bear a facial structure similar to humans, however lack of some features make them quite alien. For example, their faces are much more narrow and angular, with sharp jaws and flat chins. And they lack a human-like nose, and instead it stops with a broad nasal-bridge between their cheekbones and slightly below the eyes -- a nose which connects into their forehead and smooth's inward. Their nostrils are ovular and defined instead of round, and are set in at an acute angle facing the ground.

Their cheeks are sunken, with peculiar and lanky cheekbones that pronounce each side of their face. A Cordiant's lips are wide, and thinly, with two rows of teeth bearing double the incisors of a human but.. Incisors that are relatively smaller than a humans, suggesting a reliance on more powerful jaws for chewing.

A Cordiant's eyes represent that of an average human's, set in laterally on their face with short eyelashes -- and sharp, thin eyebrows. Their iris's are slightly larger, with finely tuned pupils evolved to see better in low light. The dominant color of a Cordiant's eyes is a steely blue, with hazel and brown being uncommon. A Cordiant's hair does not grow very long for a male, and only slightly longer for a female Cordiant; the color of their hair is predominantly a brown or ash brown color, with reddish hues and some neutral colors being uncommon.

Tucked against the sides of their heads, Cordiant's have two sets of small bat-like ears with one set closest to the top of their heads being slightly larger than the other. These angular ears when perked strangely resemble fins, but they are usually at rest against their heads. A male Cordiant's cranium is squarer and more rigid, while a female's is rounder and has softer edges.

A Cordiant naturally has a broad torso and set of shoulders to accommodate a wider diaphragm. The Cordiant have two sets of pectoral muscles instead of one, which appears to give them their beefier build -- which enabled them to exert more energy over longer durations of time, which was critical to their evolution as both a species and as an early civilization(carrying, rowing, swimming, etc). Their wider diaphragm is a result of a second heart, both of which work in a series as one closed vascular system. Each heart has four chambers, but the second only uses two except when chasing prey at elevated speeds. This second heart halves the stress on their bodies and allows them to exert more energy for longer periods of time.

The Cordiant have slender limbs much like a human's, although only slightly bulkier in proportion to their broad torsos. Their quadriceps are most notably beefier. The Cordiant's skin is covered in small/unnoticeable fine hairs, and they are exceptionally pale creatures. The color of their skin is typically a steely or ghostly white. Sometimes when exerted the Cordiant's skin may look bruised, which is a result of the bimetallic hemoglobin in their blood -- which is cobalt+iron based instead of solely iron, which gives their blood a navy/indigo looking color instead of a human's crimson red color.

Description of Government:
The Cordiant are broken up into different country's each with their own identities on their home-planet Athion Primeus, but these countries are all united by an international joint government known as the Bornstellar Confederation; which was founded more than a century ago when the Cordiant began to form an interplanetary empire, and came to the realization that the politics and economics of their home-planet alone was just scraping the surface of what was to come. The newly born colonies across their solar system were only the beginning of their space-faring legacy as a people and as a species.

While each country on Athion Primeus has its own system of governing which have all transitioned into some sort of elective republics and democracies, the Bornstellar Confederation is an entirely different beast. While representatives of the Confederation may be elected, the major structure and hierarchy of the Bornstellar Confederation is strongly bureaucratic -- with the inner workings of its operations not nearly as transparent as they should be.

Nevertheless, the Bornstellar Confederation remains the front of a united effort in nearly every subject regarding the advancement of the Cordiant as a civilization. It's broken up into dozens of sects, departments, and agencies which are backed by universities, private corporations, and entire countries. It's an efficient living breathing machine in its own nature, and will remain the superpower that it is long into the foreseen future.

Description of Military:
The Bornstellar Confederation's military is separated into two important branches: the Athionian Navy, and the Athionian Armed Forces. The Navy inherits a number of different sects and smaller branches of its own, but is simply recognized as being the 'armada' itself of the Cordiant. The Athionian Navy controls and is responsible for all space-stations, satellites, cargo transports, etc whether they are government, military, or commercial.

The Armed Forces is a straightforward branch consisting of a mainly 'infantry' driven concept of military doctrine. However, like all other branches it still is home to all kinds of careers involving engineering, communications, medicine, aeronautics, sciences and more -- and is not solely thumbed as a branch of just infantry and soldiers. Most of the serving Cordiant that are noted as "active military" are Military Police, which are responsible for protecting the colonies from catastrophe and civil war. The Military Police doesn't answer to any one country, but the administration of the Bornstellar Confederation itself.

The Primeus Program as it is nicknamed is a smaller branch of the Confederation's administrative system/military structure that serve a multitude of uses and operations. They represent the leading departments of science and technology funded by the military. They are teams, individuals, and agencies pulled from all over the world/colonies that are able to reach specific goals set by the Bornstellar Confederation.

Firepower -- the Cordiant are exceedingly low-tech when it comes to military might as a whole, and still rely on ballistics and explosive propulsion-based weaponry. While their ballistics firepower is still relatively primitive, it is obviously better than today's weaponry; with high caliber weaponry and explosives capable of packing big holes pretty fast into things that lack shields/armor.

In addition to that, weapons powered by electromagnetic energy such as railguns are the cutting edge of the Cordiant's naval arsenal.. With smaller railguns, handheld railguns that are leaving prototype stages in the coming years.

Still, the Cordiant overall are low-tech when it comes to military firepower. This is heavily impacted by the Cordiant's history which is marked by religious genocide and bloodshed. It's very important to mention that the Cordiant are only naturally capable of having one child, rarely two or three, in their entire lifetime(a lifetime which is slightly longer than the average human). Because of this, the Cordiant have come to realize that they as a species are at risk of going extinct in the event of civil war. This haunting mindset has driven the Cordiant to be relatively neutral people.

Technological Overview:
Exploration -- the Cordiant are an exceedingly proud and domineering people with great interests in the expansion of themselves as a civilization/species. In the most recent century alone, the Cordiant have taken leaps in technology regarding the exploration, discovery, and colonization of the universe around them. While they still have failed to develop a practical FTL Drive and so-far have remained only an interplanetary civilization.. The Cordiant have created dozens of space-stations, satellites, refueling docks, mobile mining dregs, and developed extensive colonies and outposts all over the inner belt of the solar system.

At the same time they have developed a wide variety of unmanned vehicles such as probes, landers, and rovers which they've deployed even outside of their solar system. Although, communication obstacles have made it so probes sent outside of the solar system are practically incapable of contact back with the Confederation.

Transportation -- while they may not have any sort of working FTL Drive, the Cordiant are still capable of getting around their solar system in decent timeframes with the use of efficient Helium-3 fuels mined in abundance from the many moons around Athion Primeus and the surrounding colonies. These Helium-3 fusion reactors produce groundbreaking amounts of energy to power ships, satellites, and space-stations all over the innermost solar system.

Coupled with that, the Cordiant are somewhat developed in cryogenic technology which allows them to sleep through any lengthy cruise times between destinations across the system without aging. But, it's still obvious that these methods of transportation are not practical in the long-run. And while they may have failed to produce working FTL technology, the Cordiant has been prototyping other ways of getting around.. Such as 'Jump Gates', which are capable of "teleporting" matter from one place to another in an instant(if there's a receiving gateway). The first of these gate technologies is being constructed in the 'Mantle' Project.

Bio Suits & Exo-Skeletons -- the Cordiant home-planet Athion Primeus is two times the size of earth, and has an exceedingly stronger electromagnetic field that protects the planets life from harmful radiation. The Cordiant are especially susceptible to harm when exposed to UV rays and radiation to the skin, and by nature are primarily nocturnal(longer days and longer nights due to slower rotation, however the years are shorter as their sun is many times smaller than the earth's sun and Athion Primeus is closer to its sun than the earth).

Because of this, the Cordiant have developed advanced bio suits to protect themselves from UV radiation. This is especially helpful while traveling through space where the Electromagnetic Shield Projection devices that surround Cordiant ships is weaker than that of their planets', and is vulnerable to the wrath of solar flares. Most of these bio suits are civilian type, which are slim and designed to be fashionable in the colonies. Other bio suits issued to military personnel are slightly bulkier, and designed to look intimidating and absorb bullets.

There are also many commercial exo-skeletons that are designed for civilians in the colonies, which allows them to lift more and do more depending on their job -- but these exo-skeletons are also needed medically, as they have modes of resistance enabled by high-tech hydraulics in order to simulate the 'weight' and energy needed to 'do work' on their home-planet. Basically, the exo-skeletons are work-out machines to help keep the Cordiant healthy and fit in space/colonies on planets/moons with lower gravity. The exo-skeletons have proven to be unreliable and unwieldy in combat situations, making them impractical for military use so-far. I should also note the helmets that go with exo-suits that have visors that simulate low-light during bright daytime. Sunglasses by nature, if you will.

The Mantle -- the 'Mantle' is a large-scale project that the Bornstellar Confederation has been developing for decades now. It's a massive superstructure bore into the planet Acheron, the Cordiant's closest planet to Athion Primeus(basically the Mars to our Earth). It serves dozens of different functions such as a dredging platform, the capital city of Acheron, a planetary harbor, etc. But the most important function is the construction of the first Jump Gate.

The purpose of the 'Mantle' is to harness the churning core of the planet and the electromagnetic energy that it provides, and to enable those massive amounts of energy to be used by the Cordiant; as a working Jump Gate requires power equal to the mass energy of a planet.

Cultural Overview:
The Cordiant are an imperialistic, but neutral people. They do not seek war, but actively seek the advancement of themselves as a civilization. The best word to describe them would be "indifference", regarding their personality as a whole. The Cordiant have a history marked by genocide caused by religion and inner conflict. Over time they've slowly come to reject the idea of religion. Like humans, "they are natural born scientists" with an ever growing sense of curiosity and wish to understand the universe around them.

But at the same time, in the back of their mind.. The Cordiant are absolutely terrified of who else may be out there. For they fear the unknown more than anything else they've known in their entire existence. They are a reserved people that reverence in isolation. However, if you were to look at the social workings of their culture you'd see that they pretty much mirror modern day America(if politics was removed from the equation).

History:
Can I use a 'get out of jail free' card and say to refer to the other parts of the app...? xD

Other:
I'm a big fan of the Bungie universe, so anything that involves Halo or Destiny. While there is inspiration from that universe, in no way shape or form am I trying to replicate it with this application or when I RP; so don't worry too much about fanboy syndrome, I'll be avoiding that. And don't worry about other sci-fi stuff because well... The only thing sci-fi I know is the Bungie universe. Not even a Star Wars/Star Trek nerd, sorry.

BUT I LOVE SPORE IN CASE ANYONE WANTED TO KNOW!

[WilsonTurner]

One cannot be a true nerd, until he has become a fan of Firefly.

For Firefly is life.

You and KeyGuy both have forgotten me, and I'm the one with two big ships in orbit right above the Nouvellians' palace, AND I've sent a DNA-message.

[Abefroeman]

My apologies for being such an ignorant underdeveloped people to have overlooked this. In all seriousness, sorry about that man. I did not intend to overlook that. I have copied what you said Duck, and pasted it to a MS Word doc, and will be drafting up a response with all due haste. Probably won't be posted for another twelve hours due to work. I suppose it is ok if I take it as though your ship is heading towards the capital?

WilsonTurner, son of Bootstrap Bill, is the DNA message geared towards me, or, something else? A little inside info can better gear my response towards you. Thanks you!

WOOT my App, took me a while to get the coding down

Septonian Concordant

Nation Name- The Septonium Concordant

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 are 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, 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 civilians 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 of 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.
Race Name- Aradites



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. 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 in life. Honor and prestige are 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.

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.

Septonian Military

Military- The military is broken into three separate branches:


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.

-30% strength increase, 20% reflex increase, 50% increase in hearing, 100% hearing protection
-Re-breather package
-Buoyancy control

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.

What is the nation that controls earth? I'd like to know their history so I can create my own human nation.

By the way, duck, it is pure chance if you do figure out how to use the weapon. I'm going to roll a die and make my response, depending if you do decide to investigate further. Be extremely careful, friend :P

Edit: I promise to be totally neutral in my decision, but to make it more fair on both of us, maybe we could get Keyguy to perform the roll? That way it's completely unbiased. Just a thought

Also Duck, please respond to Pearl Fleet.

The United Terran Federation, but that may be a bit difficult. There literally just starting to leave Sol, so you either have to use time-travel BS or come up with another BS excuse to have a human nation.

Nouvellians are much more evolved humans, and that wasn't a BS backstory.

There's a difference between a completely different sub-set of humans and wanting to use regular good ole humans.
