Like I said, don't wait for me. I may get a post up soonish, but it's nothing that you should all wait for.

@Ozerath

The Mandate are a faction of Golgotha remnants that are still loyal to the tenets of the original Golgothan faction that destroyed the Llyrian Empire. The Outer Alliance destroyed the original faction, but it (the Golgotha faction) fractured into smaller ones like the Mandate and the Concordance. The Concordance is allied with the Unity Accords now (though it's a sketchy alliance), but the Mandate isn't and is still being evil and spooky in their own part of the galaxy, presumably waiting for the right time to reembark on a genocidal campaign.

I'm currently writing a post, but don't be too inclined to wait for me; I'm a slow writer and I'd rather not hold the RP back. Also, happy turkey day to all.

@Polybius They can muster ships, yeah. They are a sort of knightly-state, but on a planetary level, so they have access to a lot of resources. That said, they don't have a fleet big enough to fight a large fleet head-on. They rely on small, hard-hitting strikes, usually unconventional and highly mobile. The ships they have are probably small in comparison to those of bigger nations, and are designed for fast-attack missions more so than pitched battles. So probably a lot of FTL-equipped stealth craft built to fight like submarines.

I re-did my app one last time (I promise). It's called the Order of Palathyn/Palathyn Order now, and it's more of a knighly state, except on a planetary level. Still hatin' on Golgotha, though. I also kept it a lot more simple and vague so that I can add to it as the RP develops. I'll start thinking of an intro post now, and read the one that's already up.

Order of Palathyn (WIP)

Order of Palathyn

_{[Insert Motto]}

Structure

Hider

The Palathyn Order is a knightly organization with three branches. Sentinels are the name given to the warrior caste of the Palathyn Order. They are warriors first and foremost. The Creators are the engineers and craftsmen responsible for the production of needed goods and equipment, as well as construction. The Lorespeakers are warrior-scholars; academics and scientists responsible for the development and understanding of technology. They often scour worlds burned to ash by the Golgotha is search of ancient knowledge.

Officials:

Hider

• Hierarch Vicimer
• Redoven Odokar
• Antem Vortigas

Worlds:

Hider

Palathyn: The homeworld of the Order, Palathyn is a lush and largely untamed planet filled with dangerous wildlife and battered by powerful storms. Before the Order, Palathyn had been chosen by the Imperial Llyrian authorities as a suitable, uncharted planet to which the Emperor could be evacuated. The evacuation never came to be, but the fortifications built in secret by Imperial engineers still stand.

Brief History:

Hider

The Palathyn Order traces its origins to the final days of the Llyrian Empire. When the Golgothan onslaught tore the imperial worlds asunder, survivors were scattered to all corners of the galaxy, with some of them forming what became the Order of Palathyn; an organization dedicated to fighting back against the Golgotha.

Primary Species:

Hider

Humans make up the majority of those in the Order of Palathyn, but there are minorities of aliens within the ranks. Although there is an inherent distrust of xenos, the Order is an organization based on merit, and as such anyone of any species can rise through its ranks and become a respected member.

Policy:

Hider

The Order of Palathyn is not a member of the Unity Accords and therefore continues the production and active use of controversial technologies on both sides of the spectrum, including weapons of mass destruction and Faster-Than-Light travel.

Formed with the expressed purpose of fighting back against the Golgotha, the Order has been engaged in a kind of insurrection against the Golgotha for many years. FTL-equipped vessels have on numerous occasions struck Golgothan targets using nuclear devices.

Despite its open conflict with the Velian Concordance, the Palathyn Order has not engaged in war with other members of the Unity Accord, and has actively avoided causing harm to them.

The Palathyn Order conducts much of its business in secret or through intermediaries - this includes trade and often diplomatic actions.

It has gone to great lengths to keep the location of Palathyn a secret. Heavy restrictions on travel and the efforts of counter-intelligence specialists have kept the exact location of Palathyn buried beneath a mountain of deception. The planet's remote location in uncharted space and the absence of a gateway into the system have also made it difficult to locate. Only vessels equipped with FTL may travel to and from the world.

- Woops, double post. Ignore this. See edit to post above instead. -

I think the UA has been around for a while now.

If you're not a UA member you can probably just do whatever you want for your first few posts. My faction has a non-voting member so I may jump into the meeting, but I could also just not. We'll see.

EDIT: I made some slight changes to the my app (mostly wording) and completely changed the 'government' tab.

The Peace Keepers OOC / IC

Just a suggestion, but maybe instead of pasting our whole sheets into that first IC post, you should list the factions and hyperlink them to our actual app post in the OOC, that way you don't have to constantly edit changes we make to our sheets. Because, as I said, I will probably make changes and additions and I know you probably don't want to be going back and forth all the time. The little paperclip/chain symbol on the top right of every post gives you the link to that specific post, so you can use that to link to the apps.

@Polybius Alright, I can drop a few lines into the History when the RP starts and jump right in. I will say though, that I will probably work on my sheet as the RP progresses. I'm not great with sheets because I'm too picky about how I word things, and I dislike setting things in stone because I prefer to just develop my nation as I go. So expect my sheet to be updated, and things to be changed. I'll always let everyone know though, so no sneaky edits to worry about.

EDIT: I made some very slight edits to my sheet yesterday where I clarified that the Collective's actions against the Concordance and the Mandate have been "indirect." As in, they aren't taking responsibility for any of it even though it's pretty clear that they are involved. This is because they'd rather not piss of space-Nato, of which the Concordance is a part of.
