Skimpy NS to get the main points jotted down for now, I will be making a drawing of them in a bit; [b]Nation Name:[/b] The Allied Remnants of Relia (The Black Fleet, various other names) [b]Race(s):[/b] Relen (AKA: The Unseen, The Black Ones, Light Benders, Space Ghosts, etc) [center][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/qDQF1U1.png[/IMG] [i]A suited Relen, the only way they show themselves to outsiders. Speculation abounds to why the Relen hide even their physical appearance behind masks.[/i][/center] [b]Racial Traits:[/b] [i][b]WE ARE THE UNSEEN:[/b][/i] The Relen have focused and continue to focus a large proportion of their technology on cloaking technology, both for their ships and for personal use, resulting in the development of a vast number of metamaterials and other technologies that have ultimately led to them becoming infuriatingly hard to detect when they don't want to be found, even at the individual level. This technology, combined with their general attitude of isolationism, has led to them become regarded as the spookiest members of the galactic scene, with myths circulating widely as to their exact abilities, their intentions, and their origins. [i][b]YET WE ARE FEW:[/b][/i] In comparison to every other galactic and interstellar power, the Relen do not even begin to register as blibs on the galactic scales of population. Their population numbers less than even 200 million, meaning they have absolutely no hope of winning a conventional war, and essentially negative chances of winning any kind of long ground engagement. Their only real ability to fight is navally, often relying on their cloak technology and usage of hit-and-run tactics. Beyond that, the Relen engage mainly in covert operations against their enemies. [b]Civilization Tier:[/b] 2 - Galactic Power, this is more a measure of their technological level than their size. [b]Population:[/b] ~178,000 Relen spread across nearly ~2,500 ships. [b]Culture/Society:[/b] The Relen society essentially functions with very little centralization beyond Allied Command, the military organization designed to coordinate the Remnant forces if absolutely necessary, and the Relen themselves are split into multiple fleets centered around a single enormous vessel that carries ten thousand of their kind. The various fleets generally operate as they wish, and organize themselves on their own, maintaining distance from one another across the galaxy. Essentially all of the fleets operate using communistic ideals, distributing supplies as necessary to the various ships, and deciding as a whole what their fleet's goal is. Law is also decided on a per-fleet basis, for example, some fleets openly engage in piracy, assassinations, trafficking, murder of multiple kinds, etc, though none of it directed towards other Relen. It is almost universally accepted, however, that Relen do not kill other Relen due to having too few numbers, and that no foreigners can ever know the location of any major concentrations of their own people, let alone set foot on any Relen vessel. Because of this universal unspoken law, the Relen do generally keep to themselves for the most part. There is, however, one group the Relen spend a fair portion of their time "interacting" with: The Prosperity Sphere. They almost universally agree that the robot bastards who purged their homeworld of Relia and commited mass genocide against the Seven Colonies of Old must pay eternally for their actions. They enact their revenge by using whatever means necessary to stall the expansion of the Doom Bubble.
