After more than a year of being content with the Star Empires existing but not so much else, I finally got intrested in this. AyaeridYirav:These species are specially adapted to thrive on water, although they can survive on the land (if it's not, say, 2 km above the ground).They have two eyes on their heads, but they don't see very well outside of the water but they do have a good sense of smell in the land due to their large noses. They have small horns across their chests and backs, which allows them to listen to stuff.Their skin is elastic and strong. When they are born, their colours are dark gold, dark orange or dark brown. However, as they grow up, they grow lighter and after they have meno/andropause they also start desaturating. Those who mananged to live the longest either had little traces of their former colour or they simply were very light grey.The males are usually bulkier than their female counter part and their colors are more varied.The females, however, are usually bigger and they have darker colours.The average lifespan of a male is about 45 years and females 47. Their sexual hormones start acting after they are 10 years old and by the time they are 16 they are fully able to breed without any major risks due to the mothers short age. By the time they are 30, they start having their meno/andropause. Theocratic.The major religion of this nation is Yerahaedism and is the official religion of the empire (explained on the other section). Basically the nation is ruled by the Yerahid of the Talkani branch of Yerahaedism. The Yerahid, according to the Talkanis, is literally handpicked by the gods and given demigod abilities. Therefore, any opposition to him is considered blasphemous and can result in prison until the "blasphemer" retracts his former statements. "Blasphemers" are often put into an orwellian regime, in where they can't martyrise themselves and they have to stay there until they are finally convinced. After that, they are put back into society. The second violation means death penality.There is a parlament which supposedly rules along with the Yerahid, but the Yerahid may always expel someone without proper reasons, as supposedly his word is above every single mortal. The Yerahid also has 20 votes on the parlament, thus it's a very corrupt place. Due to the ever-rising threat of secularism and other forms of liberalism, they need to have a strong military. Their fleet rallies about 300 ships (I don't know how many do the other people have but if it's definetily too OP, tone it down to 100 or 50) but after a secularist rebellion, they are planning to expand the fleet. Their fleet is mostly trained for revolt suppresion, anti-guerrilla tactics and it's mostly focused on defense. Automated turrets on the orbit are quite common but there is also a large population of turrets in the asteroids and moons. The Yirav developed in the galaxy in peace for tens of thousands of years until the interdimensional crisis kicked in. Their small nations were destroyed, their species went extinct on almost all the planets they colonized and the few which survived were kicked back into the neolithic. Due to the fact that most of the survivors were in planets where there was little process in terraformation, it took them a lot longer to develop, some even dying out. Eventually though, they mananged to adapt and around the same time their technological developement pace was changing too. By the time they got back in space, though, they already broke into different species, each taking caracteristics of their new homes (some have longer lifespans, increased land tolerance, etc.). The planet of the Ayaerids, known as Choyowei, was the average planet for any of the broken species. It wasn't the most hospitable planet they could have, but it was survivable.Fast foward to the foundation of the Ayaerid nation. The Ayaerid Empire was created by the union of extremist Yerahaedists (circa what we could call the 17-18th centuries) as a response to the ever-popularizing secularization in their lands. The nations of the of Choyowei were very unfortunate, since the new empire was very large and covered areas with strategic resources such as oil, uranium and food. One by one, the nations of Choyowei fell one by one to the sword of the Yerahaedists until the planet was conquered (by the period we could compare to the times of the scrambling of Africa).This conquest caused the planet to develop a lot slower than it would normaly do so and 4 centuries had to pass until the Choyoweian Yiravs emerged into space a la Neil Armstrong and 5 more for actual space colonization (save for a few exiles which mananged, at an enormus risk, to get out earlier. If I'm allowed to make multiple nations on the terms of the Other section, I will expand their history and make a republic for them). However, they developed surprisingly fast, and another century took place before they colonized the whole solar system.(if I'm allowed to have multiple nations) Around the same time, though, they discovered other Yiravids, and they weren't happy at all. The first spaceships outside the solar system were military spaceships created in order to smite the infidels. They expanded very aggresively due to their absolute intolerance to infidels until they were met by a large coallition to halt their aggresive expansionism. They were utterly crushed, reduced to a few core systems and were forced by the Treaty of Sniuatera to recognize other nation's religious rights. However, a few centuries later, they infiltrated the governments that succeded them and had much of it's territory returned.(if I'm not allowed to have multiple nations) After a few centuries, they decided to expand and crushed the still-primitive governments that ruled the planets they conquered. They crushed their native religions mercilessly and assimilited their population rapidly. This caused a major eruption in rebellious secularists, which for a time occupied most of the empire. They were forced to allow certain religious tolerance at local level, but the government structure changed little (save for the creation of the parlament, which continues to this very day unchanged)(in both cases) However, no matter how oppresive or legitimate the government is, eventually liberalism will strike from the shadows. An ever-growing secularization movement is growing among the population and it has been caught despite the people struggling to keep it on secrecy. The amount of arrests show that this rebellion will be quite bigger than the other exponential rebellions the empire suffered. Will the Yerahid keep control of his empire and this one rebellion remain as one of the many rebellions? Will he be forced to quit some of his powers? Or will he be overthrown? Now that my app is nearing completion, may I create another nation and a couple medium/minor nations (all of these with the same species of course)? I'm not going to use it as a bridge to ultimate galaxy blobbing or to make a gigantic alliance (unless everyone wants to exterminate them off the galaxy or something like that). I say this because it feels quite unrealistic that, unless this just happens to follow the same technological timeline of futuretimeline.net, the whole species are part of one nation. In addition, just for general benefit, may I ask that someone draws a map?

Accepted! Nice to see you again.

As for the map, I think it's actually a valid thing in this case. Because we can keep track of the entire area. However, I won't be making it because I've already spent an entire day on a [url=http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Roleplay/VoidOfTheStars]TVtropes article[/url]. For the roleplay.
I think I may be addicted to Void of the Stars.
