Here's the faction I'm planning to play as. I already used this on a different NRP, so it might sound familiar. 

The [b]Harlaci Imperium[/b], a highly advanced nation that seeks the preservation of their empire from the dying galaxy. The Imperium came to be when the Hannost, a highly advanced race of amphibious humanoids, technologically uplifted the Harlacs and made them the ruling race of the Hannost empire. The homeworld of the Harlacs is called Tyr'grande, a planet almost similar to earth, with the exception of an abundance of mountain ranges and fewer but deeper oceans. Tyr'grande is not only the home of the Harlacs, it is also the home of a rich mineral called "Melpharite" which can only be found in the deepest oceans of the planet. Melpharite posed two significant uses, for a power source and for armor plating.

Under the rule of the Harlacs, the Imperium prospered and became a heavily militarized nation. The Imperium ruled over systems that are found on the edge of the galaxy, making their existence known only by a few. But with the wars that occurred on the galaxy, who knows if other nations still has records of the Imperium's existence. The Imperium chose to isolate themselves from the other civilizations, mainly for the fact that they do not trust others that are not their kin, or of the Hannost. From time to time, the Imperium would covertly send its agents to other nations, seeking notable technologies they can add to the vast collection of techs of the Imperium. The Imperium never sought to expand their holdings further until they need to, making their military more focused on the defensive aspects of warfare. 

Currently, the Imperium seeks to gain technology that will help them travel to other galaxies to preserve their empire.
