“Fortune helps the intrepid and abandons the cowards. I am the daughter of a man who did not know of fear. Whatever may come, I am resolved to follow that course until death.” ― Caterina Sforza

If you mean the Uplift War by David Brin, it's available on Amazon for 7.99 in mass paperback.

Hurray for cloning! It's really the best way to go about things; no feed to fuss over all the messy details of going natural. And you can choose who gets to have kids! That way the poor don't just keeping making more, smaller poor people.

Now it's day and night the irons clang, and like poor galley slaves
We toil and toil, and when we die, must fill dishonored graves
But some dark night, when everything is silent in the town
I'll shoot those tyrants one and all, I'll gun the flogger down
I'll give the land a little shock, remember what I say,
And they'll yet regret they've sent Jim Jones in chains to Botany Bay.
:P
Another big tech for the Neo-Sovs is cloning-it's the reason they have such a big population, for a colonial power. Indeed, clones, vatgrowns, outnumber naturalborns by a huge margin.
I will leave the ways cloning technology was abused by the AI mentioned in my last post to your imaginations.
For now.

I honestly feel bad for any alien race studying the humans.
"Okay, so most of them are communists?"
"Sorta, some are more communists than others."
"But they all hate each other despite being communists?"
"To be fair, one of them is based on some old civilization they had way back when, Ramens or something."
"So we have ancient noodles and communists who hate each other, I think I sorta understand now?"
"Oh yeah, they also have space furries."
"..."
"What?"
"Fuck this, go find someone else to be the diplomat to them. Sounds like their race as a whole has multiple personality disorder."
A big point of contention with the Neo-Soviets....are they are VERY cautious about technology-cybernetics, genetic modification being abused. So they regulate the hell out of them through their CentralGov-they use them, but it's all standard, safe, practiced methods. Genetic modification? Faster. Stronger. Longer. Nothing "frivolous". Same for cybernetics. And they are TERRIFIED of AI, outlawed it. So the Stepfords...
Well.
Triggered as fuck.
It makes sense when you realize their string of colonies was initially ruled/conquered by a shipboard adviser AI who went full HAL. And had....a far too astute understanding of human nature and how to play them against each other. Imagine....an "aristocracy" of collaberators, prison guards, to watch the rest. Spoiled and decadent-lemme put it this way, genetically modified, conditioned "pain slaves" were a thing they got pleasure from-and of course, the armies of genetically modified slave-soldiers....
Yeah.
They have alot of issues with the "frivolous" use of genetic modification after that *hell*.
Ironically, a certain religious lady from the best video game ever sums up their attitudes quite well:
"Will we next create false gods to rule over us? How proud we have become, and how blind."
— Sister Miriam Godwinson, "We must Dissent" (Accompanies completion of the Secret Project "Self-Aware Colony")
"Already we have turned all of our critical industries, all of our material resources, over to these... things... these lumps of silver and paste we call nanorobots. And now we propose to teach them intelligence? What, pray tell, will we do when these little homunculi awaken one day and announce that they have no further need for us?"
— Sister Miriam Godwinson, "We must Dissent" (Accompanies discovery of the "Industrial Nanorobotics" tech)
<Snipped quote by Keyguyperson>Man, we are even freakier than that.
Federation would have yet to meet any alien race but their population abuses the fact Q-Med technology allows something way beyond cosmetic surgery. Basically expect millions of furries, untold number of Klingons and who knows how many other fantasy/sci-fi alien race LARPing nerds everywhere you see.
And then imagine all these people actually living their private life this way.
Like I said decadence is absolutely right.
Albeit the Federation is pretty far from being communist. They are consumerist capitalists turned up to eleven.
Oh the neo-sovs will HATE you. :p
"Fuck you, Romans."
-Everyone except for space North Korea, which is too busy incorporating quotes from the Roman emperor into their ideology to remember that communism isn't supposed to be fascism.
"You literally took a culture that treated slaves as sex toys and made it the basis of your civilization. Die. Die soon. Die painfully."
-The Neo-Soviets tactfully explaining their differences to the Romans.
<Snipped quote by Ophidian>
I'd like to keep the history of humanity the same as in real life, but if you send me a PM we can probably work something out. I'd love to have even more communist humans out there, ESPECIALLY if they build bunkers and call the Terran Union revisionist.
I can easily have them be later colonists who dug up old databank entries on the USSR and promptly co-opted it for their own revolt.
Bonus points if they deliberately planned it for October.
<Snipped quote by Keyguyperson>They are obviously the TRUE REVOLUTION.
Your Terran Union scumbags are counter revolutionaries trying to deny the vast fruits of TRUE COMMONUNISM.
Meanwhile my Federation are bloody decadents and greedy scum, strayed by the comfort of their technology.
Which is admittedly is a true claim, even if not quite the way they imagine it. Anyone familiar with Iain M. Banks' Culture series?
My people are the mix of that and Star Trek (with extensive amount of original flavor added to the mix).
"Explain human politics to me, it makes my head hurt..."
"Well, the Neo-Soviets HATE the Terran Union, they both hate the federation, and everyone hates the romans..."
Sooo....
Looking at my history. I realize, possibly too late, that another empire kicking around when there's been two other empires, plus the paganlands, kicking around might be difficult to parse.
....
Is there absolutely any chance of a rough timeline? When the Pagans showed up, etc?

I had to slam my hand in a metaphorical car door to stop my last revision, but it was worth it!
