Name:The Lunar Empire
Flag:Species:(Each species added to this list should also be given a brief description of there abilities, biology, and looks.)Home-Superior.
The Species of Homo-Superior is what you get when Humans evolve on a planet with a much stronger gravity then Earth and has much less sunlight. The Homo-Superior, more commonly known as the Hunar, is much stronger then a Human, it has a higher endurance, it is also faster and taller then a Human.
The average height for a Homo-Superior is 6 foot 7 for males and 6 foot 3 for females. The females can typically lift to an upwards of 300 pounds averagely and the Males can lift up to 450 averagely. Females are typically much faster then Males, being able to run at an average speed of 15 miles per hour, while Males can only run 10 miles Per hour.
The Homo-Superior also have a higher IQ then humans back from the original planet, and they also have much better vision. The average IQ is 400 for the Homo-Superior. Homo-Superior can see in almost pitch black, unlike Humans from the original Planet.
What caused this drastic evolution in such a short time on the galactic scale is Magic. One of the Humans at the time experimented on himself and became much stronger. More and More humans allowed him to do that to them, and through natural selection, we got the Homo-Superior. The Homo-Superior also live for an average life span of 150 years, never going infertile.
Government:Absolute Monarchy, currently ruled by the Mors Dynasty.
Description of Technology:(Magic-based devices/Magitech should be included here)The Homo-Superior where able to discover Magic around 500 years after the Day of the Dark (The Day that the Original Planet lost contact with Lunarworld). This happened when the Humans (Before they became the Homo-Superior) found some map on the Lunar World that led to an underground city. This city held the formula for a type Magic. Shadow Magic.
Magic used in the Empire for technology is typically for Military. They mix Shadow Magic with guns, bombs, and spaceships to enhance the power of the Technology and the Speed of the ships. A normal gun used by the Homo-Superior can shoot accurately for only 2 miles, while when Shadow Magic is used, it can shoot accurately for 10 miles. Bombs usually have a much larger explosion when Shadow Magic is used with it, and Spaceships now have the ability to go Four times the speed of light at speeds below Warp drive. Speaking of Warp Drives, Shadow Magic was the key for the Homo-Superior to discover it. Warp Drives, at top speed, let Spaceships go at 10 times the speed of light.
Other types of Shadow Magic used for military are spells themselves. Spells such as Apocolie, can send out bolts of Black lightning that can suck out life force from some Creatures, typically those that do not wear armor to protect against the Bolts. Another spell is Destructus, that well, can cause fire and explosions. When Destructus is used, fire bursts out of the ground and suddenly all the ground in a ten feet circle of the thing that the spell was used on is exploded downwards for 100 feet, leaving the creature trapped, unless it has a jetpack.
That does not mean though, that the Homo-Superior only focus on Magic, as the Humans at the for those 500 years advanced through technological means only, Magic just helped them advance faster, as it rose the average IQ by 300. The Homo-Superior typically focus on military and health advancements in the Empire, as these are the most important for the Homo-Superior to stay Superior.
As stated in the Magic section of this description, weapons used without Magic is not as powerful, which is why 95% of the time magic is used on the weapons. Overall, that just means that if I described the weapons here, it would be underpowered descriptions of what I said above, that is why I shall just focus on what they do for Health next in the technology section.
The Homo-Superior have found a cure for 95% of cancers. The Homo-Superior have also found a way to utilise nano bots for health reasons. They typically inject the Nano bots into the stomach through needle, in which they will go and either kill the deadly cells, or if the disease is incurable, which some are, they will purge the body of every cell, to kill the disease and the person who has the disease. This stops the disease from spreading amongst the population of the Empire.
Description of Military:The Military of the Homo-Superior involves heavily on magic, with technology as a sort of advancement to the magic. an Example of this is how magic is still very strong by itself, it just isn't as powerful with projectiles as a gun. Mix Magic and A gun, you suddenly have A very powerful and very accurate Gun, that is what most of the Empires military weapons are like.
The Main armor of the Homo-Superior is the Superiorite Armor, which is made out of Lunarite, a Metal resistant to most types of attack magic, mixed with Superior Titanium, a almost bullet proof Metal. The Superiorite Armor also has a coat of Shadow Magic around it, that enhances the speed and strength of the Homo-Superiors wearing it even more.
The Ground Force is split into two groups, the Speeditos, and the Strengthitos. The Speeditos are mostly Females, since well, they are faster. They do covert jobs and invasions of cities that should be quick. They are typically on the front line. The Strengthitos are mostly Males, since well, they are stronger. They are used for sieges that should take a long time and they are used in the back line as a sort of last resort.
The Spaceships are also made out of the same mix as Superiorite Armor, with a Shadow Magic coat on the outside of it that makes it faster. The Motherships are the size of large cities, that typically hold over a million soldiers ready to invade other planets. These ships are normally equipped with two Bombs, The Oblivion Bomb, and The Neutron Bomb.
The Oblivion Bomb opens a small portal that is set on a timer (Cause screw You Einstein), that sucks in anything in a 1000 feet radius except the ground and the planet itself. The Portal sends you to Oblivion, a little planet in some obscure part of the galaxy that was discovered by an Explorer for the Lunar Empire. The Portal is created by a harvested piece of A black hole (Again, Screw Physics) mixed with Shadow Magic.
The Neutron Bomb is a Nuclear bomb on steroids, it is used for only the largest and most secure of cities, as it is what does the most damage. When dropped, anything in a 10 mile radius, unless wearing protective armor, will have a 95% chance to die. Anything in a 20 mile radius will have a 75% chance to die, and anything in a 25 mile radius will have a 50% chance. After that, it degreases by 10% each mile away you are.
Description of Culture:The culture of the Homo-Superior is focused around 2 things. Getting More Superior and Living Longer. Let us focus on the first section of this now, Getting More Superior.
The Homo-Superior want to get more Superior as they feel like if they do not, they shall be left behind on the Galactic scale. To typically get more Superior, they experiment on themselves with magic. This results in 2 things, they either A, die a horrible death from the misuse of the Magic, or B, they actually get More Superior. The ones who typically experiment on themselves are in the Army.
History:The History of the Homo-Superior can be traced back to the first human colonisations of planets, as that is when they got the urge to move around the cosmos, but if we started from that time, then we would have a 100 thousand character history, which is something no one wants. So let us start at the Day of the Dark.
On the Original planet, the Day of the Dark started out normal, but then massive revolutions started, the revolutions accidentally caused contact to be lost with majority of the colonies. The Humans on the Lunarplanet where left, in the Dark, hence the name.
They had to continue to fight though, to survive, and they did. With technology, they survived, what they originally only used for survival evolved into what they used to advance and form an Empire of there own.
200 years after the Day of the Dark, the first colony was established on a planet near the Lunarplanet, and 300 years after the Day of the Dark, the first colony on another system was founded. 400 years after the Day of the Dark, over 5 systems where under control of the Homo-Superiors.
500 years after the Day of the Dark was the time Shadow Magic was found, this changed the course of history. The first people to discover Shadow Magic experimented on themselves, and successfully became the first Homo-Superiors. After this discovery, more and more people where experimented on, and through natural selection, the Homo-Superiors we have now where born. (Fact, Every 5 generations, the Homo-Superior typically evolve one of there senses or strengths)
1000 years after the Day of the Dark, contact with Aliens was made, and trade between the two nations was created. 1250 years after the Day of the Dark, the Mors dynasty took control of the Empire. 1500 years after the Day of the Dark, 25 star systems where in complete control of the Empire. This is when they stopped expanding.
1750 years after the Day of the Dark, Shadow Magic was finally mastered by the Homo-Superior. 2000 years after the Day of the Dark, the first piece of a Black Hole was harvested. 2250 years after the Day of the Dark, the Homo-Superior learned how to enter a black hole and survive, which made harvesting much easier. 3000 years after the Day of the Dark, the Homo-Superior finally learned the location of the Original Planet, but they left it to exist on its own, stating that they are no longer Human, they are Superior. Since this day, the Homo-Superior have done nothing but attempt to advance, while they are not war like, as shown through this brief 3000 year timeline, they are not afraid of war.
