[OOC] The Fires of Anuria

[Skepic]

Neat! More peeps!

[NewSun]

We could in theory start this up with three or four. I'll to see if @VoiD puts something up, but at that point i'll get started on a tentative IC.

[VoiD]

Sorry! I'll put a CS tomorrow (I've been mulling over several concepts), plus I've been busy studying for AP exams.

Species Name
Unguon

Species Description

Hider

IMAGE

The Unguon are descended from swamp predators and despite their humanoid shape still carry many rather unique physiological traits as a result. The first and perhaps most visually distinct of these traits has to be the partial gills to each side of an Unguons head used to assist in breathing underwater. While not efficient enough to allow the Unguon to permanently exist underwater they allow one to remain submerged for up to nine hours before having to surface.

The second obvious trait comes in the form of two peripheral almost wing like protrusions on either side of the neck. While serving little real purpose on land these webbed extremities are used to locate disturbances in water.

Beyond those two there are a plethora of other small adaptations, but most are of little note.

Nation Name
Imperial Protectorate of Kavaye

Nation Size
Five stars and close to two hundred billion individuals.

Nation Description
A merely hundred and forty years past the Unguon had been an autonomous people under the fledgling Kavaye Republic. Fast to reproduce and perhaps arrogant in their own recent successes the Unguon fell prey to their hubris when in search of more planets to support their ever growing population they declared war on the vast Tormkorate Empire. Predictably war, if it can be called that, was brutally short. The Tormkorate had, unbeknownst to the Unguon, been preparing to invade the Kavaye republic itself and when the republic launched an assault it was merely a convenient causus belli.

Under imperial rule Kavaye became a protectorate and forty years later was permitted to re-militarize as regional tensions grew. It was not long before that new military was sent to war on imperial edict and the Unguon became the front line forces of the entire empire

Nation Involvement
Kavaye entered the conflict on order from the Tormkorate empire. The war for however horrible it is has become popular among the Unguon simply due to the fact that their ever growing reputation among the Imperial military has served to ingratiate the species as a whole to the imperial command. This has not only raised the quality of life on most protectorate planets, but among the Unguon populace has brought up the question of political autonomy if the war is won. It is not a question shared by Imperial command.

-

Technology
Armed with obsolete Imperial weaponry Kavaye forces often find themselves technically outmatched but it is a rare day indeed they have less than a 2:1 numerical advantage.

Navy Description

Argos Missile Cruiser

Using utterly enormous quantities of missiles these cruisers are at the forefront of any attack overwhelming enemy defences.

Moju Troop Ship

Moderately armed but with enormous capacity these landing ships are the means by which all reinforcements arrive to theatres of war.

Juyi Frigate

Composing most of the space forces these frigates are work horses with excellent mobility.

Huil Destroyer

Used to support frigates with more firepower these destroyers are ubiquitous in the space forces.

Gingi battleship

Uncommon but devastating these are modern Imperial capitals and were only recently entrusted to the increasingly popular protectorate forces.

Usu Scout Frigate

Used for recon these ships are fast but lightly armed due to their size.

Air Force Description

AA-5 Combat Drone

Designed to be stupidly simple these drones are capable of low supersonic speeds and hovering alike to support ground troops.

Mesu Drop Ship

Used in mass formations with fighter cover these dropships are fast, but lightly armed.

Kuku Fighter Gunship

Stealthy despite its size these ships are deceptively agile and used for both air superiority and group support.

Iosu Mass Transport

Used to transport the largest hardware and the most soldiers these vast but outdated transports are common in large deployments.

Ground Force Description

Combat Armour

The standard armour of the protectorate is utterly simplistic. Unpowered and using several exotic composites it can allow a soldier to take a hit or two from most modern weapons, if the armoured areas are what's attacked.

Combat Medic/Engineer Armour

Lightly armed and armoured these suits are given to the medical and engineering forces to improve mobility.

Ujsui Mech

Used to provide infantry with some extra muscle these mechs are used in a mostly anti armour role.

Common Armaments

Headquarters

The location of the protectorate headquarters has long eluded most other factions on the planet, in truth this is hardly surprising. Buried in the most hostile jungle and mountain range in one of the planets hot yet lush regions the base is entirely invisible from the air and all activity to and from it is done through vast tunnels leading to several bases many hundreds of kilometers away. The base itself is roughly 80% dug into the mountains with entrances and training grounds all left under the vast jungle canopy.

[Blubaron45]

This looks like it's going to be quite epic, it's really worth considering although I'm new to Nation RP.

[Skepic]

@Isotope

Your NS so far reminded me of something I accidentally left out! Mecha units! :D
Other than that, its looking great so far!

[Monkeypants]

Alright. I'm joining this too. Hi there isotope!!

I'm going to use a race that makes heavy use of bio synthetics.

I'll get an ns written up soonish.

[Isotope]

Coolio.

Also i am wondering if i should do a second sheet on the Tormkorate...

[NewSun]

Hey guys, good to have you around! I'll be taking a look at the new stuff when I get out of work, but it looks sweet at a scan. But yes, I'll go through everythig with you in more detail in a few hours.

[Isotope]

Coool

[Enarr]

Hi, I'm Nightrunner. You can call me whatever. Friends have called me Night and NR, Runner too on occasion. I'm a decent writer, with definite sci-fi interests and concepts. I also sketch. But, I've never played in an NRP, and I'd like to try this one. It seems very polished and logically structured.

I'll likely have a sheet together soon. I just have to dwell on my ideas. Still, if all goes well, you'll have snagged yourself a new player.

[Monkeypants]

Ok, I went ahead and posted my CS.

I still haven't got my military written out.. but i'm working on it. But at least you have a premise of the nation.

[NewSun]

@Nightrunner @Blubaron45 Hey, good to have you guys around! We'll happily welcome you into our ranks. I'm just looking at the currently posted sheets right now, so it's the perfect time to join. Any questions i'll be happy to answer.

@Isotope Your sheet looks awesome, I loved it! Can't wait to get into it with them.

@Monkeypants Your sheet is also looking awesome, let me know if you need to make any changes!

[Monkeypants]

Ok, I think my military is pretty solid at this point.

I didn't want to go overboard plus I figured there wasn't a reason to go hyper detailed with various combat units seeing as this will take place exclusively on this world. So, what I have is just what the Eym will deploy. (keep it simple yo)

Anyway, I think I got all my bases covered.

Thanks for your compliment too, NewSun.

[Isotope]

Thanks! My sheet needs some editing though, isn`t very refined yet imo.

[NewSun]

@Monkeypants Not a problem, and you're right! I generally imagined that the majority of units that would make an appearance would be those under the ground forces classification. There are a lot of flavour factors in the application sheet, but it may come into play!

@IsotopeAlways the perfectionist ;) I'm in the same boat as you, though. I'll be looking to finish my own sheet (as well as a native sheet) in the next few days, just gotta finish some irl things and such.

[Skepic]

I really appreciate how so far people seem to get that all the details about the military or forces and stuff is for fluff really. Unlike other RPs, we are already being thrown into a scenario where we will be telling the stories of the people involved more than the broad overview. I think this is going to be a whole lot of fun and a nice breath of fresh air for the NRP section.
