Hm, so closest I'm getting is "Warsaw Pact without an opposing NATO or USA". I'm gonna stop analogies now since I doubt there's one that will fit well anyway, and just say that I understand. Alrighty on tech. So nitty gritty, kinetics and missiles for weapons, with maybe lasers for point defense purposes (Like what they had on the Boeing YAL-1 before the project was scrapped) Not too effective cause space is big, and you couldn't kill a ship with it. Prosthetics exist but are bulky, not smooth streamlined and nearly indistinguishable from flesh and blood. Maybe drone fighters, if those are effective at the kind of combat distances that would be involved.Great minds think alike apparently, I was going to mention the Alcubierre Drive myself. Besides, perhaps, nBSG point to point travel, however that might work, the alternative I can think of is a 'Mass Effect' type system. Namely, FTL exists, but it isn't particularly fast. So to travel, say, across the galaxy, you have to use these structures we'll call 'Stargates', for lack of a better term. These stargates are large structures with the power and capability to create wormholes between itself and other gates. They're generally guarded by space stations or automated turrets too. It provides choke points that the Nexus could theoretically use to keep sway over chunks of the galaxy. I dunnoAnyway, still interested, either as the espionage specialist (I have good ideas for this), or the engineer.

It's not meant to be molded after any existing political systems or alliances. It's science ficiton, not a proposed futuristic Earth, or anything resembling something along those lines. Trying to find something to compare it to is not going to work well at all for you.

Again I'll stress that Earth plays no part in this story or galaxy, whatsoever. So a scene where your character is listening to Johnny Cash in his/her down time will not work. Referencing uniquely Earth-bound people, places, or things will not work either.

Nexus is a unique and fictional galactic Regime. It's not like the US or NATO, because the planet's under the rule of Nexus were press-ganged into allegiance.

Now, again, Nexus is not a focus of the story, so it really matters not. Either way you look at it.

Sorry for the delay, people. I'm a very, very busy man. The last few weeks I've found myself phoning posts in for Dead Frontier and Legacy Written In Blood from work, just to get them done. That's not a reflection of my ability to do this RP, but a reflection of the time and patients it may take us to write this. If things go well and Neb D actually starts, I'll work on freeing up some time just for it.

Now again, I want a small group, so 8 people playing 1 role each will not work. Show me what you're made of people. I play multiple characters in every RP I participate in. There's nothing harder, or more challenging about it. It's actually easier, and more rewarding.
