The Mirrodin Concordat

Type of Governement: Military Trade Concordat

Description of Governement:

The Government operates with five different worlds in an imperial controlled sector of space near the fringes. These five planets Mirrodin II, Typhus VI, Ahnron, Spehis, and Polyserak. These planets constituted the seats of power in the Federal administration. They are often military leaders and officials of their union, overseeing production, commerce, naval doctrine, army doctrine, and recognition of other alien species as part of the Concordate.

The Concordate consists of roughly 10 planets and assists the Empire in financial and military support.

Main race(Your own species, unless you want to play as humans): Human

Minority races(humans and what other. Needs to be at least 50% humans if you majority is them):

Gulgaran

Gulgaran’s, the Ice warriors of Nordos Prime. They were once hostile towards human occupation, viewing them weak and incapable of command, they were of course crushed by human forces within the course of three days. The Gulgarans respected the strength displayed by the humans. For the Gulgarans, the first battle determines their opinion of the people they meet, they of course liked the human forces enough to agree to being an auxiliary force after their short tussle.

The Gulgarans are massive, a full two feet taller than the tallest human. The Gulgaran’s believe in honor through both servitude and action, they would rather die in combat than survive a losing battle. They have a slim, tall, but muscular build; they are hairless, and their skin and complexion is similar to that of humans with color being the only thing that differs. They were not adapted to cold climates, but their planet’s climate shifted rapidly, the Gulgarans needed to adapt. They used their technology to create underground, geo-thermally heated, super-cities; for traversing the surface, they used suits that were armed to the teeth, they were a warrior race, they were always prepared to fight, even in the harshest environments. In fact, their climate was caused by their warfare. The last great war on Nordos Prime ended with gigantic explosives caused by their superweapons, hundreds of thousands crashing into specific areas at once.

The people who were spared from the war continued on for several centuries, most of the radiation has subsided, but their climate has not improved since the war. Being under radiation for so long, the Gulgaran’s might have developed a resistance to the effects, though this has not been thoroughly researched. The Gulgaran’s serve the Emporium loyaly, revering them as gods, masters, prophets. The Gulgaran’s worship humanity to the point where it’s almost religious. Some Gulgaran’s achieve the rank of War master within the Concordat military due to their sheer loyalty to the Human cause, their loyalty is rewarded as such and used as propaganda to further propagate the Emporiums influence.

Kragat

Excellent engineers, they were discovered on Ronin IV, a small mining world. They lived dormant underground until the met the human explorers. The Humans immediately assumed a very weary action, however they found that the Kragat did not display any intention of fighting. It seems their world harbored little danger to them, with absolutely no natural predators and their strong sense of social unity, they completely went stagnant in terms of weapons development. They did however drown their free time in building and understanding the laws of physics with the very limited amount of knowledge they had.

Once the humans integrated English into the Kragat, they made it mandatory, the Kragat did not like this. However, over the period of time they were under the Concordat and the constant barrage of propaganda, overtime, the English in Kragat society became normalized, and the Concordat made sure that there were no records of the cultural purge.

The Kragat’s underground home was well lit by bio luminescence; they often harvested the creatures around them to create a well-lit environment. The Kragat are an arthropodal race with their DNA closely resembling that of crabs and other crustaceans and Isopods. They have slow metabolisms and require shedding their carapace every ten months. Their pacifism has made them easy to enslave, and with more well-placed propaganda and neo-colonialist tactics, they’ve been absorbed into the human workforce.

Their multiple limbs, high hand eye coordination, tough exoskeletons, and overall high dexterity and complex understanding of blueprints make them an amazing workforce for building and engineering works.

Furok

The newest of the subjugated races of the concordate. The Furok, also known as the businessmen of Azure Montal an artificial world – once the center of trade – where they would conduct business, they offered their starcharts and their business experience in exchange for their autonomy. They had no way of fighting, it seemed they were much interested in business and profiteering. The Concordat, being a military backed trade committee was very interested in what they could bring to the table, of course the negotiations were stiff, as the humans of the Concordat would take no less than 70% of their total profit, and on top of that all of their transactions must be overseen by a military presence.

The Furok agreed, they were not fickle with how much they earn, just so long as they could spend it. The Furok bought themselves a lofty life within the Concordat, and subsequently the Emporium. While to the dismay of humanity, they were the engines of commerce, and one could not argue that they were highly effective con artists and businessmen.

The Furok look short, around 3’6-4’4 in height; their build is somewhat bloated and their hair was short and white; their complexion was rough and warty and their skin was colored a light brown. They were sometimes called derogatory names such as “Frog Skins”, “Midgets”, and “Wannabe Suits”. They didn’t mind the names, they had profit, they had shares all over the Emporium, and a single rebellion could jeopardize those shares. They’d throw money at the problem, buying and funding whatever would make the bad thing disappear. The Concordat was perfect for these Shrewd, and repulsive businessmen.

The Anuvayash

The Anuvayash or in English, The Metal Ones, are a mere six percent of the entire population, the lowest of all the species that make up the concordat. They are an abandoned race of sentient computers and robots whose design was immaculate with clear intentions to make them serviceable to a public demographic. The Anuvayash and their creators were destroyed during the Triangulum war, and the Anuvayash commandeered. Though the Anuvayash were sentient, they were had no qualms, their main purpose in life was to serve. They made an excellent slave race, but instead of being put to use to construction, they were put to use in A.I. and ship design roles.

The Anuvayash’s creators were somewhat militaristic, however, their ships quickly fell to the might of the Concordat. The Anuvayash – a spoil of war – was quickly subdued, their creation matrix, studied, reverse engineered, and remade. New A.I. machines that were completely submissive. The Anuvayash’s creators were brilliant in making sure that the Anuvayash wasn’t too advanced, it couldn’t learn new things, it could only do what it was programed to do. The Anuvayash could operate individually without a signal, and will only respond to authorized personnel. The Creators of the Anuvayash also contributed many other technologies, such as a new ship engine called the Electromagnetic Ion Drive (EID) and drone tech.

The Electromagnetic Ion Drive used an ionized field manipulated by an electromagnetic pulse to propel the ship, this method of travel used a fraction of the fuel compared to what the normal method of transportation used. The drone tech was much the same with the Anuvayash themselves, they could operate independently and obey orders by authorized personnel. Codes for Anuvayash controls would change every other day, and each code was unique for each officer of a certain ship or sector. The Anuvayash are also strictly controlled. They were dangerous in the wrong hands, thus they were monitored, and had to pass certain regulations, making them a luxury item in the Concordat. For military use, the Drone technology was further advanced and was used to help fill out the ranks of the Concordat starfighter corps; they also used EID’s on their ships to make travel more efficient.

Overall, the Anuvayash, are subservient, sentient, yet limited robots. In other cases they are also used as security on some planets. Other times their used alongside Gulgarans as an assault force. They are however, extremely fragile, and only served as another weapon that could fire back at the enemy to soften them up before the main-force crushes them.

Demography(Min 20% humans):

Throughout the Concordat  consisting of billions of individuals

60% is Human
13% is Gulgaran
10% is Kragat
11% is Furok
6%

Religion:

The Gulgarans believe that the Humans are powerful beings, wise, old, and incredibly intelligent. They are nearly fanatical in their loyalty. The Gulgarans believe that if they serve humanity well and with honor, they will be rewarded in the afterlife; how they’re rewarded depends on how much they’ve achieved in their life, thus their fanaticism.

The Humans revere the Emperor, even more so than the Gulgarans revere the Human race. They believe him to be 

Culture:

The Concordat is a human founded Autonomous nation that focuses on business, technological development, propaganda, and strong military presence. The Concordat culture is diverse due to the Xeno races that it managed to subjugate, the Gulgarans and Furok are the major contributors to these ethics.

History:

The Concordat dates back to the start of the war for the Triangulum. They were a human expeditionary and colony force. They ventured into unexplored territory when they were cut off from Emporium high command. There they settled five planets and grew outwards. They remained loyal to the Emperor, and with each conquered civilization, they found new technologies that solidified Imperial dominance in the Triangulum.

The Concordat was signed in Mirrodin, as without a governing force, they had to govern themselves for the majority of twenty three years. The Concordat in that time span managed to defeat, exterminate, and dethrone entire empires. The leadership and resourcefulness of the Expeditionary Force’s commanders were more than a match to what the Xenos could throw at them. This led to them becoming reigning council members of the Concordat government system.

When the dust settled, and they were reestablished with the Emporium, they were given special commendations, and their region became autonomous. Their loyalty to the Emperor for the twenty-three years without contact was rewarded graciously. They had free reign to construct ships, explore, and subjugate any planet that interested them. Of course, the Emporium still sees the Concordat as part of the Imperial fold, and in many ways they are. They are fanatical in their service to the Emperor, they see Xenos as lesser beings, albeit with a few exceptions, which the Emporium have found to be quite useful. They exert the demands of the Emporium when they are commanded to as that is their duty to the Emperor. Despite their similarities, their ships vastly differ in design due to the Twenty Three year divergence, their entire time spent away from the empire as an Exploratory and colonial force was put to use. Their entire fleet was equipped to turn planets into bustling cities within months. Their military and first contact routines are also different, however they are still -as a whole- a lot like the Emporium, with demands such as “Surrender your planet” and “You are to only buy Concordat products” and other such things.

They have several planets, ten of which are considered Emporium loyal and are the source of power in the Concordat. Other planets and worlds have experienced population culling, rapid industrialization, enslavement, and planet stripping. The Concordat use all of these to free up real estate, create thousands of ships and products, provide a labor force for the emporium, and create a large resource pool to pull from. The Concordat’s main strategy is to use its military might to impose the will of the Emporium and subjugate a planet, they will then annex it using propaganda and culture culling in order to make the xeno population easier to manipulate, at the end of those processes the Xeno planet in question will no longer have the will and reason to oppose their rule. Some have openly invited Human colonization, others were just too easy to enslave, and others still bargained for their freedom. Those were the only exceptions that the Concordat ever made.

Overall, the Concordat is an effective military and industrial machine that acts as the extension of the Emporiums will in their sector of the Galaxy.

Important characters:

Grand Magisterial Viceroy, Julius Kaveran.

Julius was an Ensign during the expansion wars in the Concordat. After twenty-three years and many dead officers, Lord High Marshal Kaveran became the leader of the Concordat. Back then, the highest seat of power was Lord, but when the Emporium came, they assisted with the governmental reforms; Kaveran became Grand Magisterial Viceroy, he was to be the iron fist of the emporium in their sector.

Kaveran himself was not a man of words, he was a man of action and he demanded such. The Concordat became his tool to better serve the Emperor, to better serve mankind and those who would worship it. He was cunning, smart, strict, and most of all, he was ruthless. He served the emperor like a lap dog, for this, he and the Concordat itself received additional benefits. But do not let his brutality fool you, he is as sophisticated and cunning as three Grand Admirals and has the same training and combat experience as a Gulgaran, a warrior race. Many find Julius to be a fitting leader for the Concordat and praise the Emperor for making him such.

Kaveran and the Emperor have had short discussions about the Expansion wars, he had to do some explaining as to why Xenos were given such liberties as they had given them. He of course answered, “because it was beneficial”, and found himself staring into the stars naming each and every system that the Concordat had exterminated life on, he continued with his explanation, 

“The races of this universe are beneficial, I merely use them as tools – a means to an end. The Concordat gives these liberties simply because they displayed obedience and subservience. I simply rewarded their loyalty, they are after all tools, and even tools need a simple cleaning, a touchup, an upgrade. I believe they can serve us better in their current position and their current liberties, ensuring their loyalty, because even loyalty can be bought, however, the best kind of loyalty is genuine.”

He took a sip of his wine and afterwards wiped his beard, he then turned to look the Emperor in the eye standing straight as he did and continued.

“My lord Emperor, I have exterminated, purged, and purified many Xeno worlds, but that is only because they were deemed too radical to live; I have enslaved and subjugated a countless more, simply because they were weak; but the xenos that have liberties now have displayed an undying loyalty to not only the Concordat or the Emporium, but to mankind itself. They EARNED their way to where they are now, and they earned it after twenty three years of loyal service to the Concordat which justifies why I gave them those liberties. However, if you would wish of me to get rid of them, or tighten up our leash with them, I will gladly do so my Lord.”

Lord Grand Inquisitor James Mott

James Mott, a sly, shrewd, and secretive individual. He was inducted into the military at a young age, he became the interest of the intelligence bureau when they found he was able to steal enemy plans from behind their lines. He was not only an active agent, but he was a cunning strategist and he was a shrewd investigator. He masterminded the manipulation of the Kragats, and set up the devastation that brought the Anuvayash’s creators, the Adwani to crumble.

He was not renowned, he was never acknowledged, or thanked for his work, he was a spymaster, no one thanks a spymaster. As a person, James was overly talkative, he would spout things out, he was a blabber mouth; this did not contribute well to his esteemed image, but it put most at ease around him. It let everyone who didn’t know about his job, his work, feel comfortable sharing secrets with him. This allowed him, the Concordat, and ultimately, the Emporium know what their people were thinking, and it helped that he was also in good terms with a few Xenos as he was once a criminal. He knew people who would provide information based on his background, he was street smart. This made all the difference when determining which worlds to put heavy patrols on.
Because of his elusive and manipulative nature, he is called the “Whisperer” among his enemies. He incites fear, people are so afraid of him manipulating them they’re afraid to plan anything against the Concordat, fearing that he may be manipulating them into planning something. And most of the time, they’re right fear.

Lord Grand Admiral, Julia Greystone

She is the first, and only female officer to reach a lord’s position in any branch of the military. There are four branches and four lords, Lord Grand Arbiter, Lord Grand Admiral, Lord Grand Marshal, Lord Grand ; the Lord Grand Arbiter looks oversees the Auxiliary forces, the Lord Grand Admiral oversees the fleets, the Lord Grand Marshal oversees the army, and finally, the Lord Grand Inquisitor oversees internal security, they are like spymasters but they operate as the sword rather than the needle.

Julia Greystone, is as ruthless as she is voluptuous, with fine red hair usually neatly tied in a bun, and rubenesque figure. She is strategically brilliant and aggressive, many Xenos now know her by the name of the Huntress. Her strategy is to chase down an enemy, even indirectly, in order to finish them off, not many have escaped her grasp. To the Humans, she is a symbol of power due to her gender, and her many triumphs. She is however headstrong, and will not retreat until she is absolutely certain that she will lose in combat, and because of this trait, many die under her command. She is also often referred to by her men as Julia “Gravestone” due to the many that have died for her pride.

Lord Grand Arbiter, Valarian Marduke

Valarian had the worst lords job in the concordat, but he was undeterred by this. Valarian prided himself with the discipline and coordination of his Auxiliary corps, he is known by the derogatory name of “Circus Master”. The Auxiliary consisted of Gulgarans, Anuvayash drones, and Furok infantry. The Furok, while short in stature, contributed their most able-bodied personnel, they were usually more well-groomed than a regular Furok, thus less warty and pathetic. The Auxiliary Corps always went in first before the main army, and Valarian oversees the actions of each Arbiter in the Concordat.

Overly excessive losses were still punishable, even though they were just Xeno Auxiliary and drones. Auxiliaries still cost money, and further, the expenses to equip each Auxiliary is quite expensive, thus the Auxiliary have to be fairly decent. Valarian himself commands the Auxiliary to such a degree that the main force was never needed in most combat situations. Many downplay his actions but not his fellow Lords. He was pragmatic about the Xenos in the military, sure they were Xenos but he thought, “Why waste a chance to bolster our forces?” and he has time and time again proven this to be necessary. Most men are still apprehensive about armed Xenos but they can’t deny that they enjoy the cannon fodder taking most of the fire for them.

Lord Grand Marshal, William Merlock

William Merlock, a tactful, skilled, and disciplined commander of the Concordat armed forces. He like many others have experienced successes that allows him to bolster esteemed reputation. His calm, quiet, apathy allows him to out-pace his enemies, thinking several steps ahead even before the battle began; scenario upon scenario upon scenario upon scenario. He was precise and patient when it came to his duties as Lord Grand Marshal. He was upheld just as much as an Julia, and as human culture is sometimes, they were usually mistaken to be a couple. Merlock is also the one of the few who commend Valarian with his exploits. Auxiliaries to Merlock are as important as flour in bread.

William and Valarian work closely together, they often share ideas and have frequent exchanges in terms of tactics and strategy. However, it is clear that Valarian is the better of the two when it comes to guerilla warfare. William is a posh man, he has standards, even in warfare. His enemies call him the “Red Gentleman”, his men call him the “Governor”, he himself likes these nicknames and continues to make these his traits. He is careful not to be too predictable, he has lost to Velarian because of his standards, that was a harrowing lesson for him being the overseer of the Army.

[/hider]

I'm gonna make this look prettier when I get all the stuff I need. And I'm still assuming Lasers are allowed with a yield roughly similar to that of a main capital ship weapon for its upper limits? Just making doubley sure so when I get to tech I won't be hindered by "I wonder if this is too much..." -> Literally me worrying about the tiniest details.

EDIT: Also yes, I'm really getting into this, cause I've been dying for fleet combat and politics again.
