[hr]

[h2][b]General Information[/b][/h2][h3][b]Overview[/b][/h3][i]An ancient empire, the Reich has a storied history behind it. It, however, became decadent and ineffectual, eventually leading to its collapse at the hands of the Federation approximately 100 years ago. They have reformed into a series of highly effective semi-autonomous elector states.[/i]

[h3][b]History[/b][/h3]
Two thousand years ago, the Alaricians of Rannert began their spacefaring age. They rapidly advanced, having a natural affinity for the land and how to best use the resources available to them. They focused heavily on space, their homeworld severely overpopulated. Eventually, they created their first FTL drive, the hyperspace engine. Using this new invention, they entered a golden age of militaristic expansion, between two superpowers. These superpowers clashed and competed for power, forging the beginning of the First Rannertian Reich in a crucible of war -- sometimes hot, sometimes cold. Eventually, they decided the terrors of the galaxy were too many to face alone.

This was the beginning of the Rannertian Treaty Organization, a grouping of the two superpowers and their puppet states. They would eventually meld into one over several generations, but for all intents and purposes they were united. The First Rannertian Reich had not been born yet, but it was well on its way. They continued their rapid expansion, until they controlled two entire galactic spirals. Officially, at 7835:03GM, on the Rannertian calendar, the treaty organization federalized into the First Rannertian Reich. It became the Year of the First Reich, 0:03GM. With this federalization came immense power, and the Alaricians enjoyed great luxuries. Over the next 1500 years, they conquered another entire spiral, far to the galactic southwest and southeast.

Tragedy struck the First Reich of Rannert when they fell into decadence, eventually leading into the Federal Conflict, the official name for the war between the First Reich and the Federation. Despite their superior technology, equipment, and numbers, they were beaten into submission in humniliating speed, the Federation owing their victory to the hedonism of the First Reich. The myriad of people in the Reich were added to the federation as citizensallowed to partake in the military, while the leadership and much of the throneworld's population base was exiled to far-flung space.

There, they have reformed themselves, discovered new military strategies and technologies, and now they bide their time to strike back at the Federation in revenge. But first, comes the Daisan Order, who the Second Reich hopes to test their military theory. The date is the Year of the Second Reich, 122:01GM.

[h2][b]Social Information[/b][/h2][h3][b]Demographics[/b][/h3]
The demographics of the Second Reich are mainly made up of Alaricians, a plant-like tree people originating from the throneworld of Rannert. They are numerous in the Second Reich, with 90% of the population made up of Alaricians.

[h3][b]Government/Society[/b][/h3]
The government is mainly monarchist, and public opinion does not differ much. The peoples are angry at their defeat in the Federal Conflict, and nowadays are highly xenophobic and nationalist. They are in a war economy, preparing to strike out to expand and regain their power. It is one step short of fascist.

[h2][b]Technological Information[/b][/h2][h3][b]Technology Overview[/b][/h3]
The Reich, when exiled, took their advanced technology with them. They are highly capable scientists, and are among the most advanced in the galaxy, though in recent years the gap has been closing.

[h3][b]Major Techs[/b][/h3]
Infinite Variable Computing - Though not theoretically infinite, the computing power of the Reich has advanced so far that the limit for variables is practically infinite. It is the final word in computational logic.
Super-Propulsion Systems - These propulsion systems, while not typically mounted on larger ships due to a huge power pull, are often used in the long-range missiles of the Reich, allowing them to speed up their missiles to a fraction of C in minutes rather than hours or days.
Universal Aerodynamics - Designing craft capable of handling the transition from space to atmospheric battle theaters has always been difficult, but a new understanding of air flow under extremes of pressure and temperature has led to universal aerodynamic tech.
Tensor Algorithms - Underpinning advances in coordinating battlefield assets, tensor algorithms marry higher-order mathematics and computable instructions to make systems more reactive.
C5 Systems - Command, Control, Communications, Computing and... C, the speed of light. The final "c" to be integrated into advanced battle systems, the ability to react to masses moving at a measurable percentage of "c" is the final key to handling large fleet maneuvers using advanced technologies.

[h3][b]Industry[/b][/h3]
The industry of the Reich is primarily geared towards a military-industrial complex, and indeed the Alaricians do not have much in the way of consumer good needs. This allows for a higher amount of military factories, which according to their society, is better than more consumer goods factories. They are still bitter over their defeat and it shows. They have many shipyards, allowing for a high rate of ship creation, and their raw resources sector is highly efficient. They have capitalized on reduced waste, and everything generally has a use.

[h2][b]Military Information[/b][/h2][h3][b]Military Overview[/b][/h3]
The Reich can be best described as a military with a state, and this shows. They have a particularly large and impressive military, and they rule with an iron fist over their space. 


[h3][b]Space Forces[/b][/h3]
The Reichsflotte, as the navy is called, is a navy made up of plenty of missile-based capital ships and smaller close-quarters cruisers, destroyers, and corvettes. They tend to tie up an enemy with the smaller ships, while the capital ships fire missiles from across the solar system. There are many types of ships in the Reichsflotte, such as:
[hider=Rotte-Class Frigate]
[img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/7/73/Ardent-class_fast_frigate.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20090421070503[/img]
The Rotte is a simple vessel, equipped with heavy laser batteries and fast engines. It isn't particularly armored, and is used to tie up enemy forces for as long as possible.

[hider=Cerelinth-Class Carrier]
[img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/e/eb/Gladiator_II-class_Star_Destroyer_SWArnada.png/revision/latest?cb=20160616015722[/img]
The Cerelinth is a small carrier cruiser, holding a wide array of cheaply-made starfighters. It is mainly used for countering enemy starfighters, and there are comparatively few in service.

[hider=Light-Class Destroyer]
[img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starwarsrebels/images/1/1e/ImperialLightCruiser-Databank.jpeg/revision/latest?cb=20150225200358[/img]
The Light is a destroyer focused on withstanding enemy fire, providing small amounts of its own fire. It is designed first and foremost to target shield systems and tie up enemies, similar to the Rotte.

[hider=Burg-Class Laser Bombardment Cruiser]
[img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/0/0a/Pretor_mkII.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120425001005[/img]
The Burg is a unique cruiser, in that it uses long-range lasers as opposed to missiles. It has two major spinal-mounted dual-linked laser cannons that can fire across a system towards a target.
[/hider]
[hider=Leoman-Class Hybrid Cruiser]
[img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/8/8f/Class_II.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20081205041451[/img]
The Leoman is a hybrid carrier-bombardment cruiser, usually assigned to more specialized bombardment cruisers and battleships to act as a last line of defense against any enemies who could reach the bombardment location.

[hider=Rams-Class Hybrid Transport]
[img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/9/9c/InterdictorClassSD-EGTW.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120425031256[/img]
The Rams is mainly used for troop transport and orbital deployment, serving a secondary role as an orbital bombardment cruiser. It is designed expressly with ground unit transport and support in mind. Seeing one of these is a common sight if there are troops on the ground.
[/hider]
[hider=Rannert-Class Battleship]
[img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/3/3c/AllegianceModel-Fractalsponge.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120514161601[/img]
The Rannert is a heavy and slow battleship with a heavy missile load, designed to bombard enemies from long range, with minor defenses in case the enemy reaches the battleship. It is also generally used as a flagship.

[h3][b]Ground Forces[/b][/h3]
(Describe your ground forces, too. This is especially important in this RP since ground/planetary combat will enjoy a spotlight. So we do suggest you to take extra attention to this section.)

Ground Doctrine: How do your ground forces operate in a general sense? What are the strategies and tactics commonly employed? What design philosophies are used and how are the affected by your country’s strategies. In short: what can we expect to see from your country’s ground forces? Bonus points if you give your doctrine a real name such as human wave.
