[hider=The Imperial Saxonian Confederation] [center][h1]The Saxonian Confederation [/h1][/center] [img]https://i.ibb.co/CWZnrdG/German-Confederation-2.png[/img] [center][h3]Government: “Confederated Protectorate”[/h3][/center] The Saxonian Confederation began by an alliance of multiple royal, Saxonian houses that formed the Saxonian confederation, inside the Empire an alliance that grew to a confederation of worlds and star systems, to uphold their unified Saxonian cultural identity inside of the empire and their ambition at the same time. The Saxonian confederation operates as a state within a state a confederation formed by a series of duchies, counts and even elected officials of saxonian culture, forming a country of their own, the saxonian confederation while having a single senator, from the Empire as the imperial representative, it also elects a representative when all the members in majority elect a official, this official becomes know as Bundeskanzler a noble or son of a noble or anyone who is indicated by someone of high influence for the position, becoming the de facto head of state albeit, this serves more of a title in reality the Bundeskanzler is but a figurehead, with little power that can easily be replaced if needed be by a another majority in a congress of princes and duchies while the position seems powerless it comes with its pluses one of then being the fact that it comes with a lot of prestige making a previously unknown family gain fame allowing elected officials to rise from a mid ranking possibly even bureaucratic family to the status of Nobles in less then a day but the position also requires being a mediator of the lords of the realm trying to establish a sense of comorbidity and peace while at the same time trying to form a united military by its existent optional taxes a problem that still permeates the confederation making the elected depend on its benefactors and aiders to form a national army. The “capital” world of the confederation is Neu Sachsen, with its capital city also considered the capital of the whole confederation being it the city of königsberg. Humans are the de facto rulers and controllers of the region as nobles, administrators, and workers the Saxonian confederation are for Saxons or simply humans the Xenos and other races are forced to slavery with almost none of the other races having rights. The Saxonian slavery system were many aliens are Xenos live in, is what is called a “convoluted servitude of slavery” a system where its apparatus it’s only known to the nobles and wealthy in this system the Craetek, Tratik and to the Ocien to an extension are forced to work to pay off a “debt” or contract to their masters but due to the bureaucracy and paperwork, in reality, their servitude is indefinite being passed down to their children and others making their race think they can earn their freedom while in reality not. To the Ocien in the other hand due to their lack of will to revolt and conformism to things they received what some call better end or worse end depending on who you ask in the slavery system of the confederation becoming domestic servants while for some this is bad as some owners might do Things better not be described it's also argued they received the better end receiving housing and the most comfortable jobs becoming Domestic Servant Pets in some cases to the wealthiest of all citizens. The majority of the Confederation lives under a New form of Feudalism established by the nobles who settled the region purposely cruel towards the subjects who live in planets with poor conditions mainly subject to laws that make then stuck in their social part of the pyramid mainly operational and better operated in planets in primitive levels of technology and superstitious or worlds were propaganda is extremely used. Controlling the largest chunk of the population there is a concept called Urban feudalism a form of “reformed” system of a political system that acts less “feudal” and more meritocratic the worlds that adopt this system are the more industrialized of worlds mainly favoring concepts of merit for their people albeit more progressive compared to its peers the regions that adopt such ideas were able to have more stability compared to regions who went completely towards feudalism. The Burgundian system is a political system that exists majorly in militaristic worlds or spartanist worlds depending on who you decide to talk too, a system of governance in which the people are more oppressed and the economy is mainly focused on the military side of the state putting the soldier above all albeit such system may vary its major goal as created in burgundy is to harden humans into ubermensch. Albeit it seems like the Saxonian confederation lacks a standing army quite exaggerated by the dominion and even its neighbors that due to the neo-feudal system and also lack of centralized authority an army is mainly just raised peasants with forks that couldn't be the farthest from the truth something could be the members of the confederation have what is called Preußischer-Militäreifer a rule of the government that demands that all members have a standing army of a demanded number depending on how many worlds stars and planets dukes, counties and free worlds have while not obligatory and more of a guideline this act is considered heavily required in a galaxy filled with the competition due to that each county dukedom and free world contain a standing army ranging from conscripts from feudal medieval worlds to professional soldiers from developed worlds and to Spartanic soldiers of Burgundian system worlds. The principal princes and duchies/dynasty that hold the most sway in the politics of confederation and its 98 members are the: The duchy of Hergenrother The duchy of Kresinger The duchy of Burgundy The count of Wenhausen The elected prince of Neu Berlin [center][h2]political factions[/h2][/center] Nobelic order a faction formed by nobles who consider gaining independence due to existences of the senate at the same time they believe that the Saxonians are considered culturally and politically separated from the empire at the same time they despise the existent taxes and demands of the empire believing that a government should be less centralized. Neo Imperials believe that the confederation is the beginning of a new age in the galaxy and that the Old Empire is dying they believe that society should follow their ideas of what is called Urban Feudalism mainly inspired by heavily industrialized planets of the confederation they mainly argue of forming a new nation called the Saxonian Empire. The Illuminati also nicknamed the philosophers an order that believes in a new form of feudalism that mainly aims towards guaranteeing some minor rights and freedoms to the population on the bases to establish a form of order that might be stable albeit sounding utopic they also ring power with the faith of the four divinities but due to the differences between practices of the faith and even the Illuminati the organization is fractured and has many different ideas. The Burgundians inspired by the house of Haugwitz the Burgundians is a highly militarized order believing in neo spartanism and the idea that the highest power is the army and the gods also believing that in difficulty humanity shall prosper and grow to have its peasants live in difficulties and the harshest of working hours to the most rigorous of training in the army aiming to create a society that focuses on being disciplined Saxonian and obedient to its nobles something that made some of them even go so far as to enslave humans a taboo amongst the confederation. The Republicans the only force of “real” democracy in the confederation formed out of the “free” worlds of the confederacy and led by its senates the republicans aim to reform the confederation albeit the fringe of the societies their clever maneuvering made their worlds the richest of the confederation and obviously the most aimed by the nobles to suppress their growth. [center][h1]History[/h1][/center] [center]Origins[/center] The confederation´s origins start way before the settling of the regions that form the confederation almost 700 years ago the Empire was on its golden age and like all golden ages, the people were happy and prospering that was thanks to the birth of the senate and good emperors and senators this led to a problem amongst some minor and medium level nobles that feared the beginning of the end amongst their power some were rich others not mainly born out of a population boom of nobles it was ticking bomb ready to ignite at the first opportunistic spark of someone with ambition. The first ones that led the initial troubles that led to the exile were forgotten to history but their last names, not Hergenrother, Kresinger, and Haugwitz their names long are forgotten but their actions still resonate to this day the why their names were lost is mainly unknown but is believed its because of loyalists to then deleting major pieces of information, therefore, one thing is a common theme when talking about history is that those people Hergenrother, Kresinger, and Haugwitz do not even know if they are really the only thing that is known as a fact is that a coup was launched and was crushed by the army restoring order to the capital and imposing the exile. [center]The Exile[/center] The Exile also called the humiliation by some members was when a great number of minor nobles supporters of the coup and their followers to the region in the outer regions of the Empire nicknamed The marble nebula a series of star systems that were barely populated and used mainly as a prisoner’s colonies with the arrival of the exiles they started to build their own states and thanks to sympathetic noble judges this led to the developing their own states and even countries formalizing many as satellite states at that time culture was diverse but the same idea was in the mind of their leaders who built a system of feudalism in their new homes a new cultural renaissance had begun over the usage of the times of ancient earth. Albeit it sounded like a good time it was more complicated many saw the exile a humiliation a dishonor and a symbol that they were forbidden from their rightful belongings, in other words, they lost their rights to the crown of the Empire this initiated the new cultural renaissance of the counts who started appearing in the region out of spite and humiliation they started to think that they weren't more part of the empire. During the Exile a war of conquest was raged against the existing race in the sector mainly led by the nobles of the exile this war was devastating to the Craetek and their subservient races that were reduced in population and made into slaves of the newly established colonies of the exile nobles. [center]The Dawn of Saxônia[/center] For almost 300 years the marble nebula was ruled by several duchies counties barons and lords for almost 300 years they settled in the region and contacted each other building a sense of fellowship and working together for a greater purpose one of those great acts was the New Dawn the beginning of the transition of culture towards what is Saxonian today at first the region had a distinct look towards the Empire in language buildings and even manners while some dialects and regionalization made their own distinct difference with time this difference changed into Neu-Sachsen mainly encouraged by the leaders of the confederation to create a new cultural myth that with time formed the new identity of the people. During this time a new wave of counts and duchies began to appear and to spread across the Nebula at the same time Knights came into existence mainly in planets where the concept of feudalism restarted at first as elite soldiers a caste to protect and fight for the people such ideal this ideal mainly sprung up in primitive worlds to places was the plebs were more controlled by the state by propaganda or other means. during this time the faith of the 4 divinities was born out of the prophet Siegbert and his religion, his faith spread across the sector becoming the official religion of the Confederation after many nobles and common folk adopted it into their lives mainly as the second renaissance of religiosity within the peoples of Saxonia especially since prophets and priests began to appear. [center]The crusade of the thousands and the birth of the confederation[/center] The crusade of the Thousands was the event that created the confederation due to the succession rules and other rules put in place to make sure that children of nobles don't start troubles inside the confederation this rules created a great number of nobles without land and riches this led to the Crusade of the Thousands led by a coalition of nobles this crusade led to the conquest and colonization of new worlds aiming to give land to the landless this crusade was also aided by the duchies and counts of the soon to be confederation the faith of the 4 divinities also supported such act as it led to the creation of worlds that might be pure to their faith also aided by a wave of peasants send to colonize the empty regions of the sector. After this act of collaboration, many dutchie and counts started to work together by establishing zones of no tariffs to the creation of alliances this time lasted over 400 years leading to increasing collaboration over time and at the same time the method of keeping the peace the treaty of Pressburg a treaty that formed an official non-aggression pact between the lords of the region and that aimed to create stability and peace for a time while some lords ignored such treaty and went into conflict into each other the last 400 years led to the confederation to expand to its current extensive until one day the non-aggression pact evolved. Formed almost 200 years ago during the time of the crusades the lords of Saxonia the region that was now called gathered together in neutral grounds and after months of discussion the confederation was created a formalized protectorate of the Empire and at the same time a federalization of the treaty of Pressburg creating the Saxonian Confederation a client state of the Empire but majorly considered by the Empire to be the Saxonian Confederated Protectorate while such denomination is largely ignored by the public is majorly used by the leaders of the Empire due to the possibility that the Confederation is more independent from the Empire then they want to believe this is a quite common thing in the Confederation an idea they are still part of the Empire but for many nobles and to part of the population they aren't the Empire they don't speak Saxonian and they hold very few similarities besides being fellow humans. The Confederation For the next 200 years, the confederation started to create a semblance of unity but at the same time, it had to contend with the rules of extreme decentralization that is famed to have the lords of planets have more autonomy allowing then a lot of leeway towards things while the confederation holds it’s very own congress its called to reunite not always in session at the same time taxes are extremely low making the confederation not able to fully standardize its armies instead only capable of standardizing its infantry equipment via weapons deals towards corporations. Thanks to the birth of the confederation the Dominion now has a new industrial center with a totally different culture who´s nobility doesn’t like the dominion and to an extent has the most complex of all bureaucracies. The confederation at the same time created what is called the treaty of gegenseitige Kriegshilfe a proposal made 50 years ago created to serve as form military handover to the Confederation in case of conflict against hostile nations instead of the classic call to arms of the states were many could just deny such act. After the formation many duchies, free worlds/systems counties and others grew in power becoming highly influential in the politics only to lose in a question of decades or even immediately gaining and losing power and becoming powerful this game of chess would continue until the end of the crusades and the consolidation of the confederation. [center]Just like a dream to some but more like a nightmare to many[/center] The original founders of the confederation are dead due to assassinations old age, disease, and others this lead to a new generation to rise for the next 200 years since the foundation of the confederation there were five generations of leaders aiming to increase their goals and power as of right now the new generation has begun after the duchies of Karleign, and Ebner collapsed leading to the current situation and the consequences the Saxonians now endure. The death of the duchy of Karleign by the death of the last of its royalty lead to a succession crisis while peace and stability was maintained for a short while the divided nobility and senate of the state soon marched the country into civil war trying to increase its power from it, the duchy of Hergenrother who at that time was mainly a county with little power having its leaders ancestor being a Karleign jumped at the opportunity to gain land this lead the senate and the nobles of Karleign to find a way to the end minor civil war by giving the dutchie to the leader of the state giving him tremendous economic power but discovering a serious threat in the pacification and unfortunately leading to the end of duchy of Ebner. The Burgundian state at the time was mainly a region of space containing a series of counties, free worlds and minor duchies until, Hildebrand the head of a small county lead by Hildebrand the county became increasingly more feudal and militaristic fanatic launching wars under the claim of a new grand duchy called sternenstaat burgund, a ridiculous claim but from the small gains, the new state invaded the duchy of Karleign abusing the small civil war to gain power the recent duchy of Hergenrother called a confederations congress for mediation and to end the conflict with the house of Ebner coming to such call in the capital in the heart of Hergenrother and passing through a warzone an incident by a Burgundian ship, unfortunately, led to the death of the transport fleet and to the end of the family of Ebner whos duchy collapsed almost immediately. Hildebrand the head of the new duchy of Burgundy or Burgudn according to him unfortunately died on his way to the meeting his son getting cornered between the whole confederation about to go to war and the recent news of the killing of the whole Ebner family by the hands of the Burgundian army ceded to demands returning a lot of conquered land but keeping some of it and even integrating other small counts through charismatic maneuver but the death of Ebner also allowed then to take some small chunks of territory while Ebner imploded being cannibalized by Wenhausen, Hergenrother, and recent new independent states one of then being Neu Berlin and its republic being the largest of the type and republic in the whole confederation its independence ending the duchy of Ebner. With it a new order was set ruled by The duchy of Hergenrother, The duchy of Kresinger, The duchy of Burgundy, The count of Wenhausen and the elected prince of Neu Berlin becoming the new most influential leaders of the confederation and becoming the new arbiters of the confederation or so is what it seems, in reality, the politics and court politics show a decreasing power of Wenhausen and Kresinger with Neu Berlin, Burgundy and Hergenrother increasingly gaining more power burgundy with its highly Neo Spartan militarist Zeal aiming to centralize the confederation under its crown and ideals, the Hergenrothers aiming to centralize power and make their Duke not a duke but an Emperor of an independent Saxonian Confederation, and Neu berlin whos elected leaders have grown more expansionist and getting more opinionated about the confederation. While it seems like power spins between those 3 powers things moved quite differently in the ailing power the Wenhausen have an aging lord but a young court who wants to regain prestige that might lead to conflict and the Kresingers that stagnated for a long time but recent industrial developments is making their economy regain attraction and gain more power in politics making rumors circulate its current duchess might start a new crusade across the unconquered lands outside the confederation. [center][h2]Religions[/h2][/center] The faith of the Four Divinities being then the gods Lóthurr the god of Chivalry, war, and honor Camalus the god of Death, Brutality, and Cunningness, and the twin goddesses Xyra the goddess of Order, Mercy and Compassion and the goddess Minerva the goddess of Chaos, Love, and Life The Cult of Lóthurr is well known to be the cult of the nobles a cult that values a warlike nobility with a code of chivalry and honor albeit such codes of honor and chivalry are made to be the ultimate virtues of the cult it is said those who follow Lóthur must be a knight in all words albeit the cult maintains its tradition of chivalry and honor in times of war it is also a cult for the nobles mainly because many of then seek power especially the ones without land using it to wage crusades against Xenos as Lóthurr commands a command that leads to troubles amongst the other races. The Cult of Camalus is the least preferred and venerated one mainly because Camalus is the literal god of death and brutality but at the same time cunning this makes him quite preferable amongst spies and even assassins forming death cults to kill those whose Camalus wishes to bring to himself albeit few is known from the cult of Camalus it is known that its followers are known to be nihilistic. The cult of Xyra is considered the largest cult of the confederation and the most praised to worshiped different from her husband Lóthurr, Xyra is the goddess of mercy and compassion, therefore, she majorly resonates well with the common folk of the confederation majorly the poor and the oppressed and even the aliens extending her hand to aid those who need her help albeit in direct opposition to lóthurr Xyra's followers are famed for their kindness as one of the aspects her cult imposes on her followers be humble and submit to the order of things but also be kind and have the compassion to those around you. Minerva is quite famed as the goddess of excess also albeit she represents the most festive and more free care of the gods she is worshiped almost by everyone as her followers majorly seek one thing pleasure and living a good life no matter what they believe in albeit her cult is heavily discouraged by the Nobles she represents the free spirit of humanity something her cult encourages her followers to be. Craetekian spiritualism being a faith in majority used by the Craetekians and other minor races the belief is based in the concept that all creatures have a soul that creates a spiritual energy to master such energy could bring peace, healing and even to some Immortality albeit not so much believed amongst many practitioners, to master such energy within yourself it requires its practitioners to embrace diligence, self-control, tolerance, the virtues of holding a mind and body and if possible to pilgrimage towards holy places. [center][h2]Cultures of the Confederation[/h2][/center] The Saxonians as many call outside and even inside is unified culturally the how and even why dates back to the formation of the princes and duchies of the region when nobles fled with their followers to the region of colonies and conquered the region they started to build a new culture pulling from the ancient days of humanity on earth a reflection of what is called Preußen-Sachsen a cultural myth started by the nobles to unify their lands such culture that takes roots and inspiration by Germanic myths of ancient earth over the passage of time the region main dialect is neu-Deutschland and the region mainly grabs its cultural roots to a form of Neu-Sachsen. Neu-Sachsen is a cultural rebirth of Germanic ideals of art, philosophy, and pro-army, a renaissance of ideals dating back to the times of Germany in ancient earth this is expressed in classic arts to the cuisine of commoners house has followed such renaissance of germanic ideals. This cultural rebirth affected the people tremendously one of those effects came towards the local aliens many of which were assimilated towards the new culture one of then being Ocien who in their entirety got assimilated into the Saxonian Culture thanks in part to assimilation, and cultural genocide that made then integrate quickly into the human ways of life. While the Saxonian rebirth of culture has engulfed and almost made the Confederation uniform in cultural terms due to distances and differences between worlds each planet has formed its own Localised form of Neu-Sachsen culture while traditions and language stay the same to an extent the cultures create a form of localization one of the most dangerous being the Burgundians. Burgundians are the most separate but close aspect of culture humans may find in the confederation an example of total militarism and order and discipline over personal freedoms this system makes the people speak the same language as the rest of the confederation but differently from the rest the Burgundians value loyalty Honor and death towards the advancement of their culture and race that means that while some might take though towards a talk or a fight they would rush immediately towards defending the ideals of “Saschsenism” as they say it by fighting Xenos or even fellow humans. Craetekians once lived in the sector that the confederation existed while their people once had their own culture it was heavily suppressed and destroyed in the early stages of colonization and subjugation while this led to a lack of historical costumes and former ideals of then surviving the last that remained are highly regarded as supreme for then one of them being the concept of Kautu being it the spiritual advancement of self Craetek. The Craetekians hold a highly religious tradition to their people in belief of spiritual energy believing that through meditation and virtue of mind, body, self-control, and diligence this concept of Spiritual energy is also known to hold a concept of healing through meditation or even according to their own beliefs the ability to gain immortality through such acts. To maintain a form of peace the Craetekians were given a special holy day called the day of the spirits while not so much of a problem to the government such day is were the Craetekians go in pilgrimages towards the holiest of places in either their world or even star system in search of highly spiritual places from garden worlds to tombs of great monks to temples. Their language is an odd mix between Saxonian and their own language forming a form of alternate dialect. Tratik Culture was majorly assimilated culturally towards the Saxonian traditions and cultures while maintaining some of the Craetekian cultures they previously lived while this odd bread is existent with the Tratik their culture is mainly reclusive to themselves and in many instances dividing amongst each other with many adopting fully the human culture or some staying with the old ways. Races of the confederation Humans make out 82% of the whole confederation since the great exodus following the inner core wars of unification several exiled nobles fled to the secondary ring colonizing conquering and slaving the local 3 alien civilizations. [url=https://i.ibb.co/xgKZHXL/8bf1dcd155fef7b2f2e1e4ec12d59d7f.jpg]Craetek[/url] making out 10% of the population they were a former space-faring alien civilization that once ruled the sector the confederation now lies defeated after a war they were reduced in population their kind are arthropods they reach up to 3 to 5 meters in height a race that at glance is terrifying due to their appearance at the same time they are strongly capable and able to lift up several tons in their backs. [url=https://i.ibb.co/Y0yMmNT/1ad5d125c838fa0c949d4a1a94b013d4.jpg]Tratik[/url] makes out 6% of the population a minor race, that lived beside the Craetek they are a reptilian species, standing near humanity in size they are also famed by being great memorizers and a species, with an almost devout sense of communion it's unknown if they were engineered or evolved but due to their communion, and memorization they are more trusted as a low ranking bureaucrat in the same form of slavery that the Craetek live but at the same time, they are quite watched. [url=https://i.ibb.co/9wdnrCj/4137e0759ee6cc7d7e4b655957e4bfbd.jpg]Ocien[/url] makes out the last 2 % of the existing races a humanoid species that resembles a centaur of ancient mythology while having 4 arms besides their alien characteristic their race is unique because of their ability to be conformist towards any situation and at the same time being heavily resilient towards wounds and damage is not know for the why such evolution exists but some theories suggest that they were engineered not naturally evolved. [center][h2]important planets/curios worlds[/h2][/center] Neu Sachsen the capital of the confederation a temperate world with a lush ecosystem laying at the territory of Hergenrother serving at its duchy capital allowing it to prosper as the capital it has a large estimated population of 8.3 billion, settled in the great schism that sent the original nobles to the region the place had originally been a garden world a place for nobles to observe the natural beauty of the planet after economic reform in the realm the planet became a trading hub quite quickly soon gaining enough fame to be proclaimed the new capital of the duchy and once the confederation was born the planet itself held the largest honor by serving as the capital of the confederation the world is led by The duchy of Hergenrother. Neu Berlin considered one of the major worlds of the confederation its a symbol of cultural unity mainly famed for its architecture settled almost years after the schism it was founded by a series of artists and guilds that made the region create wonderful displays of art different from other realms Neu Berlin is a “free” world an elective republic allowing many ideals to blossom inside its borders having a population of near 9 billion people in it. Saxenburg considered a massive industrial powerhouse of the confederation due to having the largest output generated by its industries, at the expanse of its biosphere and life the planet itself is soaked, in pollution and having an ecumenopolis and overpopulation due to this the factors the majority of its inhabitants live in poverty while the nobles live in either skyscraper that reaches the clouds or in space stations living lives of luxury, led by the duchy of Kresinger, the planet itself still outmatches any country when dealing with products leaving compared to the other ecumenopolis meanwhile the planet stands at an estimated population of 362 billion. Speerwand is a fortress world that lies in the border considered one of the ways to enter the confederation, Speerwand has a population of 5 billion colonized by forced settling the planet itself is an example of the confederations religion of Nordism a faith that worships the old gods of Earth in it and around it is quite common the operation of the Inquisition a holy order that makes sure that foreign intrigues and threats to the faith are kept at bay the planet itself serves as a holy shield against major Incursions from outside the empire, many leaders don’t approve of the prince that made this but the world was forced into position due to threats of the dukes of Haugwitz the world is led by The count of Wenhausen. Burgundy considered the most dangerous world due to its ecosystem the capital of The duchy of Burgundy and its dynasty that rules its realm under the nicknamed Burgundian system a Neo-Spartanist system that favors the army above civilians being a highly militaristic society due to that they also only allow a few man and woman to receive education mainly those who join the army or are decedent settled at the beginning of the nobles expelling one of them was the house of Haugwitz that came with its followers and after a while, its descendants started implementing the Neo-Spartanist system across the duchy albeit criticized by the rest of the confederation not many go against the house of Haugwitz mainly due to holding the largest army in the confederation and also the most fanatic soldiers someone could ever see the planet itself has a population of 14 billion. Friedensmauer der Brüder also called the wall of the brothers serves as one of the few fortress worlds that stand between the confederation and the void of unexplored space serving as a world to defend the confederation in case the alien incursions if they decided to invade the confederation albeit not protecting the whole of Saxony trough its FTL routes colonized once the first duchies settled the planet has a population of almost 8 billion souls half of then being Craetek the planet is one of the bulwarks that serve to represent the confederations paranoia of not only Xenos but also Fellow Human brothers. Donnerspeer a massive industrial complex planet majorly famed due to being not only as an ecumenopolis but for being the largest producer of weaponry of the Confederation due to that Donnerspeer is considered a highly important planet for the well being of the confederation at the same time it shows a little bit of a complication since many leaders want control of it but due to a tendency of rivalries and successions the lords of the planet submitted to the house Hergenrother mainly out of desperation after a succession crisis having an estimated population of 562 billion people. [center][h2]Technology level/unique technologies[/h2][/center] Mech technology: using advanced robotics and engineering from the empire and its neighbors the Confederation made use of it to create mechs of their own but with their own tweeks mainly being spider mechs and other types of variations. Eplonyx energy core: one of the “miracle” discoveries by Julia an energy crystal called Eplonyx that contains an unknown amount of energy it is used and constructed into the Eplonyx energy core it allows the powering of several high consumption devices and even entire cities considered a good energy source that can last for years depending on what is powering the problem being that after a long time of utilization it melts into a highly radioactive goo. Eplonyx Energy Cannon also known as E.E.C a super energy cannon deployed mainly in dreadnoughts of the confederation an energy cannon with energy force of several megatons of power it’s utilized mainly in case of call of war mainly used as standard equipment for all dreadnoughts and sometimes for battleships. Titan knight Technology: Created in the first days of mech knights titan knights are what people would call the ultimate warriors that shall exist created by a single woman in the early days of the exile period as a fear of invasion and also to serve as a new hope for the people, unfortunately, the hows of making such machines of war have been lost after his creators disappearance the only thing that remains the Knights frame a system that allows the creation of new equipment for the Titan Knights. Hartbert Energy shield a defense energy shield that is used in mechs to space ships using electromagnetism it creates a shield to protect the vehicle against damage it is also able to be deployed sometimes in infantry packs albeit it can only last 10 seconds due to lack of energy to mass sustain the shield Switcher tech ammunition Thanks to advanced engineering and the shrinking energy batteries for laser weaponry it allowed the creator of S.T.A´s a technology that allows the switching of ammunition of certain weapons-making weapons slightly big but allowing it to utilize multiple kinds of ammunition and weapons albeit this invention was first thought about handguns it became more used in turrets for cruisers, battleships, and dreadnoughts. Orbital atmospheric ships created at the exile such technology allows ships mainly fighters and bombers to enter an atmosphere and into orbit by using energy powered thrusters. Translucent camouflage is extremely hard to make and only used in a few things it allows the object or person in question to receive almost perfect invisibility albeit detectable with good positioning of your eyes. Warp Sensor a sensor created after the advent of Warp travel using a series of sensor utilizing warp models of gravity wells and others it is quite possible now to detect fleets in other star systems or in the star systems while sounding almost hard to hide it has its flaws majorly on how it detects can easily be hidden by using the same method as sonars use or by simply staying inside the gravity well of a gas giant. [center][h2]Psionic powers[/h2][/center] It’s rather not knowing where psionic powers originate or come from but common thought is that the power majorly comes from the gods or trough nature but in the end it's unknown but one thing is common in the most primitive worlds having such trait is a one-way ticket to a stake if you are lucky you might be recruited by the nobility. Telekinesis the easiest of the powers you can learn while simplistic this power requires meditation and concentration to learn while some might say it’s simplistic sometimes it can come as useful. Psionic Pyromaniacs while hard to learn it allows the psionic users to create “heat” and attrition in materials allowing then to create flames and use fire powers by using their concentration allowing then to use a variety of powers to even creating traps. Divine psionic powers are considered something that only the faith of the four divinities and its inquisition can acquire via penitence and worship to one of the four gods depending on which god a psionic user can acquire a multitude of powers that follow said god's nature this creates what are called Paladins or holy knights. Telepathy a gift that is most closely related with telekinesis but the only difference being that if someone is able to acquire such power as telepathy Telekinesis is almost shut off being a more of a born with the power it allows the users to read people's mind and transfer information to other people by using their minds the only problem is the fact that you would hear things as a crowded room all the time only by extreme concentration someone is able to focus in reading just a single person's mind. [center][h1]Military[/h1][/center] [center]Land armies[/center] Difficulty to catalog is a major theme for the confederation due to a large number of members the armies of the confederation are highly diverse the standing armies of the confederation can vary wildly from one army to the other a good example of comparison would be the rich merchant cities of the confederation versus the princes who align with Burgundy and its system but thanks to multiple treaties and a form of centralization by copying each other a form of cohesion exist forming 3 distinct appearances in some areas mainly land troops while spaceships are almost completely uniform in design. The confederation utilizes imported rifles and other weapons from short-range weapons mainly through companies aiming to create a form of standardized army. The confederation’s major military doctrine that is employed by the majority of princes is the combined arms doctrine while Burgundian followers use the mass assault doctrine for warfare. The Land Infantry of the confederacy land infantry is divided between many or orders and princes falling into 3 categories that divide the confederation on who is better the first one and the most famed. [url=https://i.ibb.co/P5jSdHK/3869c8bbd6f6029252b955eca07f1940.jpg]The Saxonian knights[/url] inspired by the rise of mech knights in other feudal nations that formed they are a military caste that is mainly composed of nobles who spent most of their lives in their monasteries of the faith of the 4 divinities those warriors came in many appearances but they are considered the most elite soldiers and most well equipped compared to the common soldiers. [url=https://i.ibb.co/M5B7g9S/98f64163f0ce3da2534c62b9c37a76ba.jpg]Saxonian brigadiers[/url] the common infantry of the Confederation a series of man and woman equipped in light power armor survival kits and rifles sent to battle albeit less equipped compared to the knights they have more equipment from techno blades, machine guns and other equipment for specialization such as medics, and engineers. [url=https://i.ibb.co/jGqjSQN/1584e1e3abb080d2b2cc3d9c0b27387e.jpg]Soldatens des Kaltern Krieg[/url] are soldiers of planets that follow the Burgundian system cold and non-caring would be something describes then quite well due to the way of their training and raising the Kaltern man are apathetic towards bonds and focus on serving their lords as part of the “Greater good” equipped with armor and rifles they also carry with then sharpen shovel. The confederacy tanks are also divided into 3 types according to and some might vary in size quality and others depending on the region of making or purpose of making something quite simply the first one that is well known. The [url=https://i.ibb.co/SXdXmjx/8b2b9a1672b20653663155c205e9d704.jpg]M46A3[/url] a tank design emulating those of external companies at the same time utilizing regional designs becoming the more Main battle tank of the confederation being the most modern it uses its Eplonyx energy core to fire projectiles at high speeds through a railgun as its main gun utilizing the energy of its Eplonyx energy core. [url=https://i.ibb.co/HYk3MMF/e83741bb531a0171f7e3889d5b15eeb5.jpg]T-212[/url] a high production model made especially for mass production not a very good quality tank and more akin to a APC but still formidable by its standards mainly fabricated by very poor princes or simply if war economy gets to such levels of desperation to pump out then in mass. [url=https://i.ibb.co/4PxHm1R/04f6a846397027d17972098f65ab67dd.jpg]ST-28[/url] one of the spider tanks made for the Confederation land leased by the Empire for study and production mainly to defeat an ongoing revolt it became incorporated by the confederation with a few different designs one of then made is to have a similar railgun as the M46A3 and to an extent higher mobility but at the same time a much bigger chassis. [url=https://i.ibb.co/3hSjxd1/518e23e00d08182c2a17196be62dc385.jpg]ST-45[/url] a spider tank this time bough and made by the confederation to serve as its light form of a vehicle which is more reliable and equally powerful mainly integrated with mechanized forces compared to its more ‘robust’ form. [url=https://i.ibb.co/m5c8Cjm/c471bf3c6915183187b85faf755fab39.jpg]M.A.U[/url] also called Mobile Artillery Unit a spider mech with an artillery system made to be able to maneuver through the regions made especially to make sure that trucks are less needed or other forms of transport in case of repositioning Saxonian Knight Mechs the golden child of Saxonia inspired by the outer rim knight approach by its fellow feudal nations Mech Knights have created warriors that pilot giant mechs in a war against the enemy not easy to pilot but if you pilot you hold a powerful tool with you, mobile and agile for combats they mainly subdivide into. [url=https://i.ibb.co/hR0z7TS/eb3bcdf8032c587e5eee7d754dace345.jpg]S.K.M[/url] Saxonian Knight Mech made in the confederation the first type of mechs majorly simple a mech with its arms having cannons and its shoulder missile pods made at the beginning of the projects and still made albeit with new tools some of then including energy shields, and heavy armor [url=https://i.ibb.co/FKwxzJC/705a19a39b5d8996e15819adaec578d1.jpg]Saxonian Support Squire Mechs[/url] albeit Squire is a little bit of an exaggeration due to majorly existing as support units and the concept of squires as assistants to the knight’s arts and culture breeds a name so to speak, S.S.S.M is mechs made to have multiple types of equipment mainly separated guns to be used for the conflict being a humanoid mech with arms and legs its strength is the fact that it can carry any piece of equipment it needs from guns to artillery becoming a quite good frontline troop but also a support troop. [url=https://i.ibb.co/p0SVFt0/56a773715ea8f192a8f94fee93d98dc3.jpg]Titan Knights[/url] the peak of knight mechs larger than its counterparts and considered deadlier than others mech knights spousing shiny engravings of the man who once piloted then or currently pilots then it is quite unknown how such mechs are piloted due to its sophistication in AI and weaponry holding a long list of having swords, war hammers, maces, or even spears while at the same time utilizing from rifles, hand cannons, and even arm attachment of weapons from energy cannons to melee weaponry one thing that is almost universally installed beside the weapons they spouse, quite resistant armor, energy shields and even a form of translucent camouflage [center][h3]Space forces[/h3][/center] [center]Fightercrafts and bombers[/center] [hider=Orbital Atmospheric Fighters] [img]https://i.ibb.co/Qn1nxDz/a767a1a1e6905b3084694960f89e7e12.jpg[/img] Orbital Atmospheric fighters this fighter craft are made to be able to be used in both an atmosphere of a planet to the very self void of space made to be the best versatile fighter craft in any problem thrown at it, its main weapons are Energy cannons while deployed in atmospheric zones by carriers they also are quite useful in the orbit and in space thanks in part to their thrusters being made to be used in both types of environments. [/hider] [hider=Orbital Atmospheric Bombers] [img]https://i.ibb.co/th040y0/de65feb46914923e88b834628a1bdffc.jpg[/img] Orbital Atmospheric bombers equal to fighters difference being that they mainly carry with then a payload of bombs to nukes and equipped with light cannons mainly made to carry payloads and deliver then at a target while similar to fighters they are much heavier and are constructed in a way to have bigger engines allowing it to carry the extra weight [/hider] [center]Space ships[/center] [hider=Corvettes] [img]https://i.ibb.co/F6L4qmf/8ade1bfc356cf74c0664074422c2f627.jpg[/img] Confederation Corvettes considered the first spaceships made by the confederation being the corvette’s small ships used in combat and sometimes in transportation equipped mainly with missiles, Railguns, and point defense lasers. [/hider] Destroyers compared to corvettes are different due to multiple designs and equipment sets but the majority of the time they are equipped with cannons, railguns missiles, and point defense systems using Gatling guns separated mainly between 2 classes. [hider=Artilerie Mauer] [img]https://i.ibb.co/wLNGRHt/jean-olivier-ferrer-ferrer-jo-es2-uemed1-1.jpg[/img] Artilerie Mauer a destroyer class being the major used artillery focused space ship that uses cannons rail guns and missiles while lacking many defenses it’s long-range makes it quite dangerous especially since destroyer types walk together. [/hider] [hider=Schild der Herrlichkeit] [img]https://i.ibb.co/gPV8M9d/0143c61ff82a9ff86a73b608b39db0eb.jpg[/img] Schild der Herrlichkeit destroyer class is different from its counterpart serving as a shield of the fleet having the best point defense capable of having at the same time made out of reinforced armor and more powerful shields while seen as a defense unit it also spouses turret cannons. [/hider] Cruisers are divided in 3 categories number one being Schwert der Flammen second being Schwert der Stacheln and third being geflügelter Husar their divisions mainly exist as a form of specialization. [hider=Schwert der Flammen] [img]https://i.ibb.co/bKscyhy/jason-song-ship01.jpg[/img] Schwert der Flammen is considered a shield breaker type of cruiser having mainly energy weapons that can easily down enemy ships with phasers and energy cannons at the same time having plasma throwers in its front at the same time it spouses a more potent shield compared to Stacheln. [/hider] [hider=Schwert der Stacheln] [img]https://i.ibb.co/LpwKZFV/d-rock-art-2-1.jpg[/img] Schwert der Stacheln Different from Flammen is armed heavily with armor and hull breaking weaponry majorly projectile weaponry from Gatling guns, missiles torpedoes, and other forms of explosives one its guarantees is its turret cannons. [/hider] [hider=Geflügelter Husar] [img]https://i.ibb.co/M7HQDTr/martin-ende-capital-ship-low.jpg[/img] Geflügelter Husar is considered the major carriers of the confederation while having much better ones due to its cheapness it’s majorly used as its base different from others Geflügelter instead of guns contains hangars for fighter crafts and bomber crafts while having point defense systems, missiles, and drones for its defense. [/hider] Battleships are divided between 3 types with one not being premonient compared to the others being then Kriegsherr von Burgund,kriegsherr von sachsen, and Schutzengel. [hider=Kriegsherr von Burgund] [img]https://i.ibb.co/7QnNLTs/d-rock-art-freedom-befalling.jpg[/img] Kriegsherr von Burgund made in burgundy is a battleship made to be quite aggressive in its systems and weapons having turrets with the ability to create quite a bit of damage but only in a close range having quite reinforced armor and having missiles and high explosive weaponry it was made to be able to deal massive amounts of damage at the cost of charging forward and taking the first blows [/hider] [hider=kriegsherr von sachsen] [img]https://i.ibb.co/FbV8GVz/dreadnought-monarch.png[/img] kriegsherr von sachsen different from Burgun it uses superior military firepower by having turrets that albeit less damage is done it allows the usage on higher distances allowing for safer distances for maneuverability and dodging meanwhile having long-range missiles and energy weaponry of railguns to turrets allowing it to be quite a foe to fight. [/hider] [hider=Schutzengel] [img]https://i.ibb.co/8sp7NRf/martin-ende-battle-ship-low.jpg[/img] Schutzengel the carrier battleships containing turrets, missiles and point defense including large hangars allowing the storage of hundreds if not thousands of crafts while serving as the largest carrier type it is the least produced mainly because of the lack of need for such big carriers instead the confederation invests more in the other types of battleships [/hider] The Dreadnought Sächsischer Titan Considered the biggest ship of the Confederation Sächsischer Titans are the most dangerous ships to engage due to then having E.E.C allowing then to easily destroy battleships with their cannons albeit slow compared to battleships its turrets count and firepower makes then almost deadly to fight while having a period of things such as missiles point defense and other applications that might be installed to then.
