Human life, the process of millions of years of successive and random mutations giving rise to modern man, a marvel of natural selection. This process occurred as it always did, but this time it didn't happen on Earth. Another place, another time, serendipity would have it that a system perfect for life in every way came into being. The vast jewel of Jalaryias' crowing rings of barren worlds, and two gardens besides. On one of these worlds, a world called Terra, not only man came about, but others too rose from the primordial depths to the heights of intelligence. On the sister garden of Aldzerri, so too did life rise to those heights, two worlds with many thinking beings in a place where the future held limitless potential. Time passed, the children of these worlds squabbled, not all survived. Yet now another chapter has come about, the dream of traversing the worlds has come true. Moons and asteroids are ripe for harvest and now the species of those two once separate worlds will come to terms as they race towards it, the endless bounty of space. Explanation This RP takes place in an alternate world where Humans arose in a system dominated by the large gas giant of Jalaryia and in tandem with several other species. The backstory of this RP is intended to be created by the players as they write the history of their nations and species, how did they fight? Why? The stage is set for any number of situations, and only you can decide what may come about!
Regarding Aliens Since the scale of the rp is quite small compared to others, we will of course have a limited number of alien species, five to be exact. Two for Terra(since of course we got humans there), and Three for Aldzerri, and since we have a limited number, I would have you make only one species, wouldn't be fair if one player made half the species roster. Once all five species are made, there can be no more. Exceptions of course there being sub-species and perhaps artificial servitor races.

So man and other species evolved co-dominantly on an alternate earth-like planet(s)? Interested if only for the fact that the RP is wide open for creative input. Thinking of some sentient artificial life form (not based on humans) that destroyed the creator race completely in ancient times and mythologized their self-awareness, denying the fact that they are self-replicating.

Hmm, I'm not sure the "ancient robots" could work. Technology of that scale hasn't been around for thousands of years, more like some hundreds of years.

T[ee]r[ee][oh]n
Government
T[ee]r[ee][oh]n is governed by democracy, of which all self-sentient citizens can vote. They elect a single leader for a century-long term, although hesit can be impeached by a majority petition. The current leader is 'Trusted Citizen' H[ee]r[ah]v[ih]n[oe].
Species: 'Life-hierarch'
Roughly 0.065% of life within the species is sentient. The ones that are sentient have an estimated IQ of 145 on average. The sentient command non-sentient as extensions of their being. It is akin to finding a finger in the forest and surgically attaching it to your own hand, except you now have the ability to control that finger. Many of these sentients command 45-50 non-sentient counterparts. The sentients are translated to 'Wisemen' and the non-sentients are translated to 'Undermen'. Sentients are identified at birth by a white marking of two gates, similar to the ones on their flag.
Orbital Holdings
In addition to quite a few man-made moons, the species hosts over 100,000 D[ae]r[ee][uh]m Stations, all of which house an atomic teleportation net. The image shown below contains one such chamber. These may be turned on and off at the owner's discretion, and some may require a passcode or bodily scan of a sort. Legend: Red: Teleportation Chamber Grey: Solar-Energy Wall Teal: Gravity-Gel Flooring
Military
The T[ee]r[ee][oh]n military is composed entirely of orbital fleets and stations, all armed and set to bomb anything that comes near them. The largest of the armed stations, Fearless Guardian, is shown on the Terra-Planetary-Axis Module below: The smallest ring has a diameter of 50,000 km. Each ring succeeding has a greater diameter by 50,000 km. The phasing black dot is the full radar-sphere of the station (which is far larger than the actual station). The center point is Terra. The military is known to use 'atom-scramblers' that rip apart molecules and reconfigure them instantaneously, causing an immense burning sensation. A chemical compound that replenishes itself is shot out of kinetic boosters as so it goes in a straight-line toward the target.
History
The origins of the species are shrouded in mystery. They are thought to have evolved from amphibians, then diverged in sentience with the Undermen race, but other than that we know that they have been ruled by a single civilization for their entire existence. The civilization was D[ee]r[ee]d[ah], which has led the T[ee]r[ee][oh]n throat history. They were originally clans, but joined peacefully for self-betterment. They contain the first of the written records known as The Credible Mythos of the T[ee]r[ee][oh]n. The book contains daily records of events, with special sections for larger happenings. The developed R[eh]z[ah]th paper from a bamboo-like plant, and ink was made from berries that lasted for a very long period of time.

Got a question, how big are these man-made moons and other stations? And how many are armed?

The largest is about the size of the asteroid Ceres and maybe 12 military stations are armed. They are fairly powerful, but a well armed fleet could kill two with heavy losses.

Ah, ok. Yeah, they're fine then. Although the station numbers seem a bit much.

The stations would be akin to...[struggles with reference]...like 1/6 of the Death Star-ish The man made planet thingies number 3 and are akin in size to death stars, but no super laser. Just a lot of lasers.

I was considering joining, but I'm extremely discouraged by the initial power level as set by the Life-Hierarchs. The scale of settlement and space militarization that they possess is insane. One-hundred thousand vessels the size of small asteroids? The fact that those that are armed are capable of repelling entire armadas? This appears to be a relatively cramped neighborhood, and this nation already appears to have a pre-emptive hegemony in place as well as a -massive- terrestrial presence. EDIT: It'd be very out of character for any of the concepts I have in mind, or any sane, sovereign nation in general to accept their neighbors implementing such a huge Sword of Damocles being dangled over their head.

So, basically, Terra is ruled by UltikanaRe's nation. I mean, the 'smallest' station is 50,000 kilometers in diameter. That is roughly four times the diameter of Earth. And then there are the other stations (presumably larger) and the miniature dyson spheres. And the scale of this RP is a mere two planets? Also, I've subbed to the thread, but interest is still very much in the air.

A very good point presented. UltikanaRe, would it ok for you to downsize your nation a bit?

You misread the post. Each circle on the map increases by 50,000 km in diameter. I also mentioned that was the stations immediate radar sphere. That means that it's own scanners could detect anything within that bubble.

Though that still leaves a series of issues that still need smoothing over. Tentative interest depending on how things go.

The Hubble space telescope can detect things much farther than that, yet it is fairly small. The radar sphere is not that big, being it also gets video, but satellite tech allows us to see al of earth. Also, those are the military stations. Most others are space villas, maybe 5 sq hm at the most, and unarmed. I apologize for not making this immediately clear.
