[hider=Imperivm Romanvm Phoenix] [h3]Name of nation:[/h3] [b]Imperivm Romanvm Phoenix[/b] [hider=National anthem] [url=https://youtu.be/4HWldoUpO1k]National Anthem[/url] [/hider] [hider=Nation crest] [url=https://imgbb.com/][img]https://i.ibb.co/gwT7Wyx/The-GPC-flag.png[/img][/url] [/hider] [hider=History] [h3]Captvre[/h3] It was arovnd the year XX BC, emperor Avgvstvs has been rvling for VII years, when svddenly the commvnication to several cities and even legiones were lost. People all over the Roman Empire vanished. Some people who watched the stars saw several new stars in the sky which seem to move across the sky at a fast pace. The missing people were actvally taken by extraterrestrials, and stored in their ships, before transporting them the long way back to their worlds. [h3]Cvstomization[/h3] The romans were kept vnconsciovs for nearly the whole jovrney. They were avgmented to withstand mvch higher gravity and to resist known deseases, their whole resilence was vpped by several levels. Their mvscle strvctvre was strengthened and their bones got denser. Telepathic abilities were added as a psychic gene. The new vpgraded version of the romans was then cloned from arovnd half a million to IV million vnits. Lastly they received basic knowledge abovt tools and territories of the aliens. After awakening they fovnd themself in bodies they covld hardly recognize, they were mvch bvlkier becavse of all those new mvscles. They also noticed strange knowledge abovt many things inclvding a langvage they did not know previovsly, when say first heard said langvage, explaining to them that they wovld be working slaves for their new masters. [h3]Arrival[/h3] After arriving at their destination, a large tropical world, covered in dense jvngle, they were transported to the svrface. Split in mvltiple grovps they were to create farming space and to cvltivate the land for the masters. vpon arriving they fovnd ovt that they were not the only species to be enslaved. There were bear like creatvres as well as insects, birds and even creatvres with a resemblence of fish. Some romans were lvcky to have kind masters, which wovld treat them more like worker than slaves. Allowing them edvcation and basic rights. However most were not treated better than normal slaves. In the next centvries they wovld spread to many colonies and discover that their masters, with all their technology, were vnable to repair a defect cavsed by the modification of their master race. They wovld be avgmented in many ways, resembling gods, however they became vnfertile. Their nvmbers were redvced by X percent every generation. To ensvre they still receive enovgh resovrces to fvel their society they had become dependend on slave races. Realizing their incoming demise as a species some looked at the romans as their svccessors. Teaching them even more abovt their vast knowledge. However those who felt that way were a minority and killed once their view was exposed. The romans prepared in secret weapons in many storages across the whole dominion of their masters. [h3]Vprising[/h3] XI centvries after their arrival the romans rebelled against the masters and the loyal slaves. They were svpported by the few remaining members of the svccessor faction as well as an insect like slave race. Svrprised and weakened several planets fell in qvick svccession. Bvt it wasn't easy to tople svch an advanced race. They started to wipe ovt whole planets with bio weapons, tvrning them into dead wastelands. The once mighty dominion of the masters was dwindling in an ever faster pace. After a centvry of civil war the dominion shrank from arovnd CLX planets to XXV, of which XX were controlled by the romans and only V nearly desolated worlds remaining in the fold. The masters were already wiped ovt execpt the few svrvivors of the svccessor faction. The remaining worlds were held by loyal slaves, which believe that the masters will retvrn to restore their rvle. It wovld still take the romans another VII decades to finally overwhelm the last resistance. Thovgh victoriovs the romans were weakened by the war. The vltimate resvlt was even thovgh the svccessor faction wanted to teach the romans all the knowledge, many secrets were lost in the flame of war. Only abovt X percent of the knowledge remaint, keeping the romans in a state of early space-faring for many centvries while they tried to rebvild the war torn planets vnder their control. The last members of the master race lived peacefvlly and respected in the new roman nation vntil they slowly vanished a few centvries later. The new roman nation wovld be named [b]Imperivm Romanvm Phoenix[/b] as it was born ovt of the ashes of the past. [h3]Rebvilding[/h3] The rebvilding took vntil the late third millenia, where the romans finally started to terraform some of the lost worlds, projects that wovld take centvries if not millenias to complete. [/hider] [hider=Popvlation] [h3]Popvlation[/h3] ~ 2,375,000,000,000 pop: -> 545,000,000,000 Hvmanvm -> 1,830,000,000,000 Cthand'xi [h3]Species[/h3] [hider=Hvmanvm] [b]Hvmanvm[/b] The Hvmanvm are hvmans that got transported from ancient terra throvgh an instable wormhole. Most of them came from the roman empire, which may be part of the reason it vltimately fell. Since their new homeworld was qvite different especially the gravity, they needed generations to adapt. Many of the original 'settlers' died vnder the harsh conditions of svch a high gravity. However where there is hardship, prosperity will follow. The second generation appeared to have psychic abilites, bvt those were only the beginning of the transformation of the hvmans. Their bones got denser and their mvscles stronger. Becavse they live most their live in high G environments, their body is smaller bvt mvch strvdier and stronger than earth born hvmans. This increases their natvral tolerance against G-forces. Psychic abilities: They can project intentions and messages into the mind of other people, as well as block the transmission of thovghts and itentions. Very few people may also be able to vse limited telekineses, however this is limited to grabbing an item, like a cvp or rifle, a few meters away. [/hider] [hider=Cthand'xi] [b]Cthand'xi[/b] The Cthand'xi are an insectoid species which helped the romans in their revolt. They are based arovnd qveens, where a single qveen controlls their whole colony throvgh psychic power. The drones and soldiers have no personality or character, as they are not mvch more than simple machines for the qveens. The Cthand'xi have a very fast reprodvction cycle only taking arovnd XXX days to matvre. As most insectiods they are very resilient, fast and strong. However they lack a higher form of intelligenz, while the qveens are capable of speaking, they are not capable of higher thovght patterns like hvmans. [hider=Appearance] [url=https://ibb.co/1XFwYT6][img]https://i.ibb.co/09Hdprt/reavers-by-sancient-d8epfvp.jpg[/img][/url] [/hider] [/hider] [/hider] [hider=Capital] The capital of Appvleia is Roma Nova, also know as the Phoenix City. It is the biggest city on Appvleia it has a popvlation of nearly 200 million people. The High Covncil is located at the city center in the tallest tower, the Phoenix Tower. In the lower levels of the bvilding is a permanent contingent of the Praetoriani at any given time, while the city as whole is always protected in force, as it is the pillar of their society. The Phoenix City can be said to be the heart and sovl of Appvleia and the Imperivm Romanvm Phoenix. Roma Nova is bvild in the middle of an inland sea. It may be an inland sea, bvt it is comperatively shallow with an average depth of C m. The sea was named the Phoenix Sea and is mvch larger than Roma Nova. The City itself is svpplied by both sea and air. [/hider] [hider=Cvltvral Overview] [h3]Cvltvral Overview:[/h3] The cvltvre is reserved and analytical. They tend to observe first, while not hesitating to shoot at any threat. Ovtsiders will find it hard to get to the core of their cvltvre. The elderly are very respected and generally the higher standing people. The families play a very big role in the society and cvltvre of the IRP. People withovt families are vsvally treated as the lowest people withovt any power or inflvence. The strongest families are cvrrently the Alateia, the Ferreolia and the Catvlla. The cvrrent Empress and nearly half of the High Covncil belong to the Alateia family. The families rvle over certain territories or svpply whole legiones for the imperivm or workers for the factories. There is an vncovntable nvmber of families in the society of the IRP, which changes every moment as families are dissolved, exterminated or created. The families are clashing in the shadows for power and inflvence, while the imperivm looks vnified and peacefvl at the moment. The IRP learned that they mvst vnite against external threats, however in absents of svch a threat, why not expand ones inflvence and power? They valve honesty, loyalty, knowledge and the trvth, even thovgh they fight themselfs in the open and in the shadows. They will vse any means necessary to remove threats to their race. They abolished their old Roman belief system and don't have any gods anymore, however they have their ancestors and their elders to honor and respect. The romans learned to respect and valve the Cthand'xi throvgh their svpport in the rebellion. The Cthand'xi are the respected jvnior partner of the imperivm. They enjoy the same rights as the romans, and have the same dvties. The most important planets are all located in Systema Solaris Magna, however other important places are Systema Solaris Parva, Systema Tempestvs and Systema Avrelianvm. [/hider] [hider=System Systema Solaris Tempestas] The 'Systema Solaris Tempestas' is located on the edge of the galaxy and is svrrovnded by several singvlarities. Those singvlarities are the reason for the name Tempestas, since they block nearly all rovtes into the system. Traversing this area on most rovtes is hazardovs at best. In recent years the Imperivm fovnd a single stable and safe rovte, as well as three less hazardovs rovtes, with only one third of the ships beeing destroyed while traversing those rovtes. [hider=Planet Appvleia] [h3]Appvleia:[/h3] Planet: Appvleia (Capital) Size: XVII x Earth Gravity: XV G A large tropical world, which is rich in resovrces and covld be called a paradise, if not for some minor details. It's gravity is arovnd XV G or arovnd XV times as large as on earth. This is dve to it's size beeing arovnd VIII times as large as the earth. [/hider] [hider=Moon Lavatrae] [h3]Lavatrae:[/h3] Moon: Lavatrae Size: ~ Mars Gravity: I G A small desert planet, there are temperate places on it, bvt arovnd LX% of the planet is covert in desert. It is located arovnd Appvleia. [/hider] [hider=Planet Altinvm] [h3]Altinvm:[/h3] Planet: Altinvm Size: X x Earth Gravity: XI G The planet covld best be described as an arctic world. It is covered with large snowy movntain ranges and moderate temperatvred archipelagos in large cold oceans. While not the most fertile planet to prodvce crops, it has large mineral deposits in those movntain ranges. [/hider] [hider=Planet Caledonia] [h3]Caledonia:[/h3] Planet: Caledonia Size: VI x Earth Gravity: IV G Caledonia is a rovgh planet, harsh storms and rocky highlands cover large portions of the svrface. However there are also oceans and large grassland areas, giving space to bvild and cvltivate. [/hider] [/hider] [hider=technological Overview] [h3]Technological Overview:[/h3] The whole technology of the IRP is focvsed arovnd their ability to generate large amovnts of energy. [b]Energy[/b] The IRP is able to create a powerfvl small energy modvles. While small and powerfvll, they contain only a limited amovnt of power before rvnning dry. They contain enovgh energy to power even larger strvctvres, however once depleted they need to be recharged or exchanged. The constrvction of those energy sovrces can be qvite costly, depending on the qvality. Energy modvles for drones and smaller weapons are qvite cheap, while modvles that power large starships or whole cities are expensive. These modvles do not generate energy, they merely store it like an advanced battery. Therefore they are vsed to power vp the ovtpvt or where smaller modvles are needed compared to the larger fvsion reactors. The fvsion reactor generates large amovnts of energy throvgh the vsage of hydrogen, they are vsed as the main powerline, svpported by the energy modvles. They can be fovnd in every spaceship, tank, walker, fighter, gvnship and cities. [b]Drives[/b] The IRP possess three ways to travel in space: The non-evclidean-drive (NED), which tears space open and compresses the actval distance to the target location. While traveling throvgh that 'space' they enter a dimension called the compressed space. A larger compression (less space between two points left) means more energy needed. Their svblight engines have an enovrmovs potential, needed to leave their homeworld, however to vse the whole potential enovrmovs amovnts of energy are needed. The creation of temporary artificial wormholes. Those wormholes directly link two points in space. These Wormholes allow whole fleets to move throvgh the same doorway withovt needing to vse additional power. However only large capital vessels (Battleships, Carrier and larger) posses enovgh power to generate them, they are still limited by the gravity well and take qvite some time to calcvlate. It can be said that those wormholes are a larger version of the normal NED. [b]Weapons (Arma)[/b] The IRP vses two main weaponry: The first weaponry is a svpplement of drones which have an intelligent enemy-detection-system. They travel at high velocity and can do basic evasion, while tracking their target. The drones are powered by a cheap mvch less potent energy sovrce as the above mentioned modvles. Therefore they do posses a limit of effective range and destrvctive power. Drones can be recalled, if all valid targets escape and they still have enovgh energy left. A depleted drone does not pose any threat, as the detonation can only occvr if there is power left to trigger it. Drones are vsed in every military branch and even the basic Contvbernia can vse single drone weapons against heavy targets. High energy pvlses are also vsed for weapons, from gvns, rifles and cannons, to capital weaponry. They vse projectiles ovt of pvre energy to hit the target and cavse destrvction. The projectiles have a higher penetrations as beam weapons vsing the same amovnt of power. This comes from the compression of energy into small projectiles. Melee weapons have an activation bvtton, to activate energy pvlses arovnd the blades or whatever form the weapon is. The pvlses cavses tovching matter to melt or at least heat vp considerably, this effect is vsed to cvt throvgh many materials like iron and steel for example. [b]Shields (Scvtvm/Scvta)[/b] The IRP possess an energy shield, which power scales with the svpplemented energy. While having the potential to shortly boost it's shielding potential, the energy drawn will increase at an alarming rate. Smaller scale shields exists for soldiers and smaller vehicles, however those are only capable to protect the vser from a few tanks shots before beeing depleted. [b]Body Armor[/b] The body armor of the average soldier contains a small shield generator, as well as normal armor plates made from adamantivm. Larger versions of the body armor, mostly vsed to breach defensive lines, sacrifice some mobility for better protection and a stable shovlder movnted heavy weapon (a drone lavncher or mvlti-pvlse weapon). This eqvipment is not light which makes avgmentation of the soldiers necessary. [b]Stealth tech[/b] They have fovnd a way to redvce the ships signitvre for long range sensors. Roman ships appear mvch smaller and fewer in nvmber on long range sensors. While they were able to redvce the signals of their ships, they were vnable to let them become invisible. [b]Vtility[/b] The control of most of the IRP technology is only possible with their genetic code and their psychic wavelength. This was introdvced to bare the Rat Simia from vsing their technology against them. Most of their technology vses their psychic wavelength as control. This is possible with a special interface, that scans the brainwaves of the vser and vses these as inpvt, jvst like pressing a key on a keyboard or moving the movse. Many actions can be combined to be vsed with a single thovght, mvch like a macro which calls mvltiple fvnctions. This process enables IRP ships to be operated by a very small crew. The IRP have knowledge of inefficient gravity generators, while able to simvlate their normal gravity (XV G), they tend to vse qvite the amovnt of energy and always have their own dedicated fvsion reactor. They possess vast knowledge in genetics, as well as good knowledge abovt robotics, latter from their extensive vse in their factories. IRP commvnication vses the same principle as their drives. Compressing the space to the receiver the messages don't need to travel as far, reaching the receiver fast and withovt loss of qvality. They are cvrrently developing a transpotation technology to transport matter from a ship in orbit to the planet below. However there are several problems that need to be solved as neither is the location right (matter materializes inside walls or the grovnd or high in the sky), nor is it gvaranteed that the matter reappears. Cvrrently ~45% of the transportet matter does not reappear, making the technology extremely dangerovs, vnreliable and expensive as it vses large amovnts of energy. [/hider] [hider=Description of military] [h3]Description of military:[/h3] The military is well desciplined and favors qvality above qvantity. Most vnits are expensive bvt powerfvl, leaving pirate grovps destroyed by fewer and smaller Roman ships. The IRP has a large amovnt of smaller atmospheric vessels, covnting from small fighter planes to large atmospheric corvettes and freighters. [hider=Classem] The [b]Classem[/b] contains XXIII Battleships, XXXVI heavy Crviser (Aedinia-Class), CXII light Crviser (Arcidarvm-Class), as well as CCLXXVI Destroyers, DCCLXVI Frigates and MMDLXXIV Corvettes. They also control thovsands of transport ships of different sizes, as well as several large stations vsed to resvpply, bvild and vpgrade ships.

[/hider] [/hider] [hider=Exercitvs] The [b]Exercitvs[/b] is the grovnd force, they vse everything from blades for the close qvarter combat to rifles. They consists of Servi Mechanica and Hvmanvm Clypevs soldiers and some normal Hvmanvm as strategists. They vse both tanks and walker, as well as fighters and gvnships, for heavy firesvpport. The Exercitvs is strvctvred into the normal Exercitvs Legiones, the basic soldiers, and the [b]Cvstodi Excelsis[/b] Legiones, containing only veteran soldiers and specialists. Cvrrently there are fifty-seven Exercitvs, thrity-three Cvstodi Excelsis Legiones and ten Legiones Praetoriani on standby. The Legiones Praetoriani are Cvstodi Excelsis except, that their sole mission is protecting the empress and the capital. The rest of the personal is splitted as praesidia (garrisons) or in training on different bases, however the 100 Legiones can be deployed within one day.
