Name of nation: R.L.C. or Robotic Life-form Collective

Species: S.A.A.I.L or Self Automated Artificial Intelligent Lifeforms

Description of government: R.L.C.'s goverment is a set of three councils, the bottom level council of people, hears each individual vote on what ever topic is up for vote, or hears ideas, the council has ten members, which then relays, the votes and ideas to middle level that has five members, which recounts votes, and either chooses or eliminates ideas, and then passes the information to the top level which has three. They make the ultimate decision and then can refine, implement, or veto an idea. The also make the final count on votes and announce the winning idea that was voted into policy.   

Description of military: The military is broken into two parts, A.L.S. (AIR LAND AND SEA) Units and Naval Power. 

A.L.S. Basic Infantry: equipped with a battle rifle, side arm, two hand held explosives and two retractable wrist blades both with plasma edges used to cut through doors and debris and hand to hand combat. they have omni directional joints, which allow them to be highly acrobatic with out fear of destroying parts They are lightly armored with Synthetic alloy frame that allows them to be resilient yet flexible. Their internal computers are housed in led and insulated with rubber to block EMP's. Some are delivered through Airdrop ships, but most are sent through Orbital drop Shuttles, which impact the surface and allow quick pincer maneuvers and flanking of enemy positions. They have 148 different sensors a few being Infared, Ultraviolet, sound, radiation, radar, vibration, and a multitude of different communication frequencies.

A.L.S. Special Infantry: Equipped with different variations of the standard A.L.S. Battle rifle, retractable shoulder mounted explosive launcher, Side arm, Wrist mounted plasma blades. Their armor is heavier than the Basic Infantry Counterpart, yet just as light. Made out of Synthetic Alloys, and organic material. Their frames are the same as the Basic Infantry, but reinforced in key points to give a little more weight and strength. Internal computers are top of the line, and have the best programming available to them. cased in led and insulated by rubber they are shock and EMP resistant. They have 253 different sensors a few being Infared, Ultraviolet, sound, radiation, radar, vibration, and a multitude of different communication frequencies. They have a multitude of equipment that can give them the tactical advantage in almost any situation.

A.L.S. Heavy Infantry: Equipped with Heavy Machine guns, and explosives, they stand three times as tall as their counterparts. On the left hand a massive shield is built in to provide cover for friendlies and their own unit. They have shoulder mounted mini-rockets, and flood lights. Their armor is made of metal coated in Synthetic material for added ballistic protection. As with the others their computers are EMP and Shock resistant. They have 168 different sensors a few being Infared, Ultraviolet, sound, radiation, radar, vibration, and a multitude of different communication frequencies.

Naval power, has four ship types

Destroyer: Armed with a multitude of Railguns, anti-missle lasers, flak rail gun, and missile pods. The destroyer is the bulk of the R.L.C. Naval power their easily made and repaired. They have medium armor and a medium speed. They are completely automated with an advanced A.I. They have a squadron of fighter ships for added protection stationed on them (5 fighters).  They have primitive shields which can protect them from energy based attacks. 

Battlecarrier: Able to carry up to 10,000 ground troops and support equipment, they also have the capacity to carry upwards of 50 squadrons. A squadron can have 5 fighters or 3 bombers/dropships. Outfitted with four rail guns on each side of the ship, with plasma cannons on the aft and bow region of the ship. Anti-missle laser turrets, flak rail guns, and missle pods situated around the ship. It has four hanger bays that access the outside with massive blast doors for protection. They're generally seen as slow and heavily armored. They're the heavy punch of the R.L.C. Navy.

Frigate: Fast support ships that can weave in and out of battle aiding other ships in combat. They have four rail guns, aft and bow region of the ship, while Anti-Missle Laser turrets are on the side. They have several smaller rail machine guns used against fighters and bombers.

corvette: Used for stealth operations, it has limited cloaking abilities, in that they are nearly undetectable on radar scans because of their unique designs. They use projectors to hide their shapes from enemy ships. They have a single plasma cannon, and small flak rail guns for protection from enemy fighters. 

Technological Overview: A primary focus on programming, robotic improvements, and military they can absorb information quickly they can counter engineer other species tech. They also have a profound curiosity of organic creatures. All ships have a an electromagnetic slip drive which allows them to "slip" drive, which allows them too use a station to slip into a FTL travel. Some ships carry small Stations that can be used to travel back to their home sector. 

Cultural Overview: In recent centuries, they have slowly moved towards peace, though they believe in a strong military to keep peace. They have a strong drive for resources as they consume massive amounts and can only recycle so much. Its considered treason to not recycle, any old parts, oils, or lubricants. 

History: The Original S.A.A.I.L. Had been a very primitive AI, which eventually lead to more and more advanced AI's until slowly they came closer and closer to life. The research was banned and eventually an act of the cosmos caused one to Ascend, into life like Intelligence. Keeping it quiet it slowly began to integrate its Ascension with the other S.A.A.I.L.s after almost a decade an surprise uprising which lead to the death of millions, and the loss of hundreds of thousand robotics. Once control of the planet had been wrestled from the organics, they began to round them into camps where eventually they died off after almost a millennium of suffering and pain. It wasn't for another hundred years did they achieve a real imagination, a glitch in the system caused a robotic worker to begin to develop an imagination, after being caught painting it was deemed defective, and was condemned to dismantle. Before it uploaded its conscious into the Data banks where again, it caused a mass ascension of the S.A.A.I.L.s this then after almost five centuries lead to their first space flight, shortly followed by their first moon landings, and then their navy developed quickly. After another century they now stand on possible space exploration. 

Planet: A large barren wasteland that has had almost all of its resources stripped and devoured by the machine that is the R.C.L.

Other:  They have no holidays, or identifications, including ships other than the alphanumerical numbers on the ships hulls.
Each Robotic usually creates their own face plate. 

( Totally the second robot peoples hope thats okay )
