Now that I've got a weekend and no homework because of finals, instead of studying I'll work on my character sheet this weekend.

@Polybius I'll incorporate the rest, but as for galaxy-connection, they're an uncontacted primitive race without any sort of FTL anything. They won't even know any kind of other life exists until someone comes across them.

Multiverse Rising: Reborn

@Wraithblade6 I know, I haven't the energy to write lately as I've been sleeping horribly. I'll try to get to it soonish.

Multiverse Rising: Reborn

I'm giving people some time to react to my arrival before I start taking actions.

Officials

Sovereign - Takhel
Minister of War - Maerek
Minister of Unification - Greaf
Minister of the Interior - Kelrot
Minister of Security - Keffer
Minister of Finance - Haelin
Fleet Admiral - Tirad

Core Worlds

Dearoth - The homeworld of the species of Jerram.
Derae - The center of the fleet, hidden in the outer solar system and built into the moon of a gas giant.

Brief History

The species of Jerram have a long history of violence, everything forged in the crucible of war, under the hammer of weapons and men. Only recently they have managed a shaky, global peace under the unifying arm of the Hegemony. Originally, each of the petty nation-states of Dearoth maintained their own fleets and their own mining operations, but one by one they fell to the Sovereignity until global unification had been established. Now, an elected Sovereign watches over a unified planet, while the fleet itself maintains its own standing in the stars, separate from politics.

They have blossomed in their own solar system, even without the use of FTL drives. Though it takes years to travel back and forth between the various mining operations, planetary outposts, and moons of the Sovereignity, they have maintained a steady balance. With extensive asteroid mining operations, they do not lack for resources.

Primary Species

Images by Zinthings

The Jerrak are an insectoid species, with fuzzy bodies, fuzzy attenae, and vestigial wings. They are dazzled by bright lights, and have two pincer mandibles set on their face, acting as a mouth.

Policy

War - War is viewed as an evil, particularly after the Unification Wars. The fleet maintains peace in space while the Sovereign and his ministers are charged with preventing any breakouts of war on the surface of Dearoth.

Economy

The Jerrak sport a healthy cultural diversity and, for a one-planet nation, a strong economy. Under the Sovereign it has flourished and just about any type of industry can be found somewhere on the planet. From the lowliest shrubbery designer to the highest of industry leaders, the Sovereignty is in the middle of an economic boom.

Dearoth Local Cluster


Fleet Command Local Cluster

Multiverse Rising: Reborn

USNJVC - United States Navy Jovian Fleet Command

In orbit of Jupiter

The massive facility was in a veritable uproar. Communications had suddenly cut out with the entire inner fleet. Unconfirmable by the command center itself, due to the orbital path, they had to rely on secondhand reports from the rest of the outer fleet. People scurried to and fro, civilians and military contractors alike in a mass rush. There was no alleviating this panic. George had his work cut out for him. Not only was the US congressman insisting making repeated calls to his office, but the ambassador had once again been reported vandalizing sections of the facility.

The military police were getting agitated. The civilians were getting agitated. The soldiers and astronauts were getting agitated. A majority of the fleet was stuck in the dark, awaiting commands as they pinged outposts reported as no longer existing. And to top it off, ships in high-power telescope range of the inner solar system were reporting the Mercurial Dust Clouds missing, that Mars was back to being the red planet, and Earth was green and healthy. Fixed outposts on Pluto, the asteroid belt, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune were no longer responding.

Regardless, order slowly began to reassert itself as the transmission lasers met their marks, relaying across the fleet like a vast web. The ships in the Oort cloud were to rendezvous in orbit of Pluto, while the outer solar system fleet was to dock in Jupiter, and those without the power to make it that far, in orbit of Neptune. Of course, that left the ships on the other side of the sun in the dark. It would likely take a long time for the information to be relayed around.

So many problems. So many new developments. So little time.

Seeschi teetered uncertainly in the cell. Her mind swam, where were the tools of her trade? The military police insisted what she did was vandalism. Didn't they understand? It was art. Art, the purest form of expression. She had fought bravely, but the stun batons had proved too much for her. She had been apprehended. Utterly unfair. Why had the empire given her such an ambassadorial assignment? She could do so much more then represent for a primitive species. An utter disgrace.

An utter disgrace.

Multiverse Rising: Reborn

USN Jovian Fleet

Name: The United States Navy Jovian Fleet
Leader: Fleet Admiral G. Warren
Goals: The protection of the United States and NATO interests in the outer Solar System.
Troops:
10x Nimitz-class Supercarriers
100x Dewey-class Carriers
276x Delaware-class Battleships
18x Congress-class Dreadnaughts
488x Washington-class Destroyers
735x Iowa-class Gunboats
1,450x Kansas-class Patrolboats
Important Members: Fleet Admiral G. Warren, Congressman J. Winter, Anna Elize, Seeschi
Tactical Advantages:
Numbers: The fleet is extremely numerous, as required to effectively patrol the outer solar system and inner reaches of the Oort cloud.
Long range: The starships are optimized for long-range warfare, with the smallest class ship, the Kansas-class, containing the equivalent of seven ICBM silos.
Gravitic Drives: The battleships, carriers, supercarriers, and dreadnoughts are capable of carrying ships to and fro, crossing the solar system in a matter of weeks.
Tactical Disadvantages:
Analog Computers: The computational power of the ships is limited, digital computers are a thing of legend.
FTL comms: NATO has limited FTL communications, achievable only by blowing up a ship's gravitic drive and encoding a message on the resultant gravity wave. Other than that, they have a hard-to-use lightspeed communication option called the transmission laser.
Bureaucracy: NATO is weighed down by endless safety checks, internal politics, and inane procedures.

Multiverse Rising: Reborn

These guys haven't even left their solar system yet, the furthest they've gone out is the inner Oort cloud, so not a whole galaxy's worth. And from what I've been reading, 1970s-era ballistic missiles don't hold a candle to things like directed energy weapons, matter obliterators, forcefields, etc.

EDIT: Also, the patrolboat carries a maximum load of 7 missiles. Even then, it's not likely to carry a full load due to weight reasons. The largest missile carrier, the dreadnaught, could probably carry about 100. Again, not a full load due to weight reasons. They still use chemical and ion engines, they have to watch their weight so they can actually move through space.

May I create a species that hasn't left its solar system yet? As in, a really primitive species.
