Working nation sheet. It is not detail intensive. No need for demographics or fancy pictures. Other players and myself need to know your factions ambitions, loyalties and assets as well as your liabilities to [s]exploit[/s] better understand your motives and reasons for playing in this rp. Try and work with other players and myself to create unique factions. Remember this is a crucial time in Imperial history and only the galaxy-shakers and most important people and factions will ultimately play a part in shaping the destiny of the Empire. Let's try this: 

[hider=Galactic Entity Entry ]

[b][u]Overview[/u][/b]
[b]Province/Kingdom/Faction/Tributary Name:[/b]
[b]Ruling Body :[/b] (This may be a single character or a group of characters)
[b]Home System:[/b] (At least one planet ;) )
[b]Primary Resource:[/b] (Could be as simple as mineral production or something more inventive.)

[b][u]Armed Forces[/u][/b]
(Leave this blank until the main IC thread is up with details about the technology available k thx.)

[b][u]Imperial Assessment[/u][/b]
 Write a blurb about your faction from the viewpoint of Imperial Intelligence. Consider the threats and motives that might most catch the eye of the Imperial Bureaucracy. Also include any weaknesses the Empire could exploit.  

[/hider]

 As you can see it is a pretty simple sheet. I'm sure there will be some grumbling, but I'm not really a hardass GM so please, speak your mind so we can get something fun rolling. 

Some other things on my mind for the IC: 
Technology (Ships, size, armament and how to determine victors in battle)
Posting requirements and format (mostly word counts etc)
Cartography (I'm off the mind that a galactic map, although appealing is not really necessary since intergalactic travel is FTL. I could come up with something, but I'm limited to MSpaint so if this gets rolling and anyone is interested in helping out twbg)

My faction and posts (I don't plan on playing as the NPCs listed above-that would be a really heavy workload for me, instead I'm thinking of doing a sort of *galactic update* post with the goings on in the Empire, player factions (a sort of summary for you nerds who want to skip the prose) and NPCs. A sort of galactic news spread to keep the timeline moving forward. 

Alright I've spewed enough filth this morning. Thoughts ? [@Legion02][@Sierra][@Drunken Conquistador][@Isotope][@Pepperm1nts][@GreivousKhan][@Flagg][@FrostedCaramel][@gorgenmast]

I'm working on an app now. I do have a question though of some importance, however, in what manner of does the empire transport itself through space? That is to say what means of space travel are we using here? I assume it must be some form of FTL but what kind? Wormholes? Mass acceleration? Gates? Warpdrives? Hyper-lanes? 

 The exact nature of this kind of technology will have a huge impact on everything to come and to have already past.
