Species: Terrian (70%), Ko'Bold (30%) 

Species Description (Only For Non-Humans):

[hider=Ko'Bold]
The Ko'Bold race are a humanoid race of reptiles that stand at around 2-4 feet tall that come in a variety of scale colors. Their hands and feet are claw like, but they have more then enough dexterousness in their claws to handle most devices with the same care and skill as a Terrian would. All of them have tails while some are born with wings (through they cannot actually fly with them, they are still seen as a desirable trait). While they appear carnivous (and enjoy the taste of meat greatly) they are in fact able to eat just about anything they can sink their rather sharp teeth into.

Allegiance: Itself. 

How The Government Is Ran:
Tushina is a Military Junta, ruled by a council of high ranking military leaders known as the Obsidian Order. The Obsidian Order has some degree of influence in all branches of government, through often times with local government it prefers to monitor the situation and send orders down to the local members of the administration. The administration is dedicated largely to the survival of the Tushian Empire and it's military, but in times of peace branches of government dedicated to the well fare and happiness of the citizenry will get the funding they require. In times of war, civilian branches of government are the first to be cut back. 

Watching and learning from the mistakes of the past human empire, the Tushian Empire has taken a rather pragmatic view when it comes to foreign affairs: If it encounters a rival empire that it doesn't currently have the ability to take over, the Tushian Empire will open diplomatic channels with them and try to stay on relatively good terms; If they encounter aliens that they are stronger then (or an opportunity to strike down their rival presents itself) there are really only two options to take. Either convince the xeno's in question that their lives would be better off as a member of the Tushina Empire and bring them in as an equal member (second class citzens and slavery tends to only cause problems in the long run after all) or exterminate them all and colonize the planet with loyal Tushian citizens (Less problems down the line internally and thus Tushina maintains a strong core!).
    
Military Strategy: While most of the fleet is made up of medium ships, the Tushina Military also maintains a number of large and smaller ships in order to allow them versatility in order to deal with the threats that they may encounter. 
 
History:
The colony of Tushina was once the pride and joy of the Empire, a bastion of Imperial rule near the far frontier. It's primary purpose had been as a military outpost in order to give the Empire a foothold in that part of the Milky Way, but as time and wars past its purpose evolved into that of a peace keeping force; Any alien or treasonous world in that part of the Empire that dared rebel needed to be brought back into line and military might of Tushina would be the second responders in the event that loyalist forces on the planet in question couldn't handle the situation. In the event that the Tushian military couldn't handle the problem, Tushina itself would serve as a secure mustering ground for forces from elsewhere in the Empire to gather and crush the threat completely. 

As the Empire started to decline, Tushina quickly found itself neglected by the powers that be who were often to focused on other things to care about the safety and well being of the realm. While at first it remained loyal, as years past with greater unrest from the worlds on the frontier while the core worlds provided less and less support that loyalty started to waver until at least the core worlds abandoned Tushina completely. 

Abandoned by the Empire, the decision on what to do now had to be made... and it was made by a gathering of Tushina's highest ranking military leaders. Overthrowing the few remaining loyalist members of the government, the newly minted Obsidian Order established the Tushian Empire and got to work securing the area around it for resources and security. Of the three xeno races that lived in that part of space, the Ko'Bold race was the only one deemed worthy of joining the fledgling empire who accepted the offer; The other two races had their atmospheres poisoned by Tushian bio-chemical weapons that lingered three weeks before clearing up, allowing military forces to land and wipe out the few remaining pockets of resistance that remained. With both species exterminated, their planets were colonized and the Tushian Empire secured its home system.

[hider=Rodrim Payne]
Name:Rodrim Payne
Age: 42
Species: Terrin
Place In Story (Job): Head of Foreign Affairs  
Character Description (Physically): 
General Rodrim Payne is a stern man in his early 40's who is rarely seen outside of his uniform. His black hair line is starting to recede with age and stress, but this is a man who has kept himself at the perk of physical fitness when he is not reading over paperwork. His skin is a light shade of coffee while his eyes are a harsh, piercing brown. His face is largely free of blemishes, through those few who have seen his bare legs or chest will quickly find scars and marks aplenty. 
 
Character Description (Mentally):
General Rodrim Payne is a man who is dedicated to his country and will do whatever it takes in order to further the goals of the Tushian Empire, no matter how morally abhorrent such actions might be to others. It is ultimately his decision if a xeno race or power encountered by the Empire is to be absorbed or exterminated by the Empire and history has shown that he is not afraid to do either. He is a man that is dedicated to his career, having sacrificed two marriages in the past in his duty to the Empire. His relationship to his current wife is distant due to the fact that both of them are career oriented, through the fact that they have had two children together means that they do make time for each other every now and then. 
  
Biography:
Rodrim Payne was born on Tushina back when it was still apart of the Empire but during the decades of unrest before it abandoned the planet completely. Like many on Tushina, he joined the military academy at a young age and alongside a wonderful education was molded into a prime solder. While many in his class went on to pursue civilian careers once they graduated and their two years in the military had been served, Rodrim pursed a military career alongside his marriage to his first wife. As he climbed the ranks and found himself with less time to spend with his family, tensions grew until he was forced to make a decision between the two of them. He choose his career. His second marriage two years later suffered the same fate after six months.  

Shortly after raising to the rank of General and being given a command position in the Obsidian Order, Rodrim met and later married General Linda Hopsin, the woman in charge of civilian affairs. The two of them have been rather happy since then, having two children (aged 11 and 9 respectively). 

It was under Rodrim's command and orders that the Ko'Bold's were brought into the Empire... and the two other species in the system were deleted from existence. He has no regrets for his actions.
