[hider=Federated Systems Alliance] [center][b][h1]Federated Systems Alliance.[/h1][/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/VYT0Yhp.png[/img] [h3]FSA SA, Alliance[/h3][/center] [hr] [center][h3][b]Government Type[/b][/h3] The Federated Systems Alliance (FSA or SA) is a political and economic alliance comprising of currently four species working together. The Midgarian Confederation, Terra Nova Republics, Krentasian Empire and Meivun Empire. The Alliance is a federal type of government. The Federated Systems Alliance is governed by a president who is nominated by the ruling council and is confirmed by all the member worlds of the Alliance. It should be noted that the member worlds retain their own governments and leaders, and the Alliance president is not in a position of direct command over their internal affairs. The president acts, in many ways, as chief administrator who organizes and manages the various elements of the organization. In the larger context, the FSA acts as an umbrella under which members can collaborate on various issues as they relate to diplomacy, trade, exploration, humanitarian aid, defending members and those who may ask for assistance against hostile powers and piracy. [hider=Advisory Board.] The advisory board for the Alliance is made up of senior representatives from each of the major Alliance powers, including the vice president. The council acts as a cabinet to the president advising him on events, supported by functional officials such as the Director of Covert Intelligence and the head of the Alliance Fleet along with the head of xenobiological research authority. Their other main role is nominating a new candidate for president when the current one is unfit, dies or decides to leave office.[/hider] [hider=FSA Council.] The ruling council of the Alliance is composed of ambassadors of the major powers of the Alliance, wherein each member of the FSA Council has an equal vote and voice in the Alliance government. It is also the Council that foreign Ambassadors from other nations also meet with to discuss anything of importance from the likes of for example trade, Diplomacy or events that are happening around the Eden cluster.[/hider] [hider=Covert Intelligence.] FSA Covert Intelligence is the main intelligence gathering body for the Federated Systems Alliance. Soon after the formation of the Alliance, it became clear that the Alliance needed an organization to keep track of what the various nations were doing, and to keep track of various external and internal threat including other Alliance members.[/hider] [hider=Membership.] At its formation, membership in the Alliance was offered initially to the Midgarians, Terrans (Humans). Krentasians and Meivuns joined at a later time. Before becoming a fully-fledged member, each new member must agree to abide by and uphold the Alliance's laws. Each member world or race assigns an ambassador to the Alliance, where they act as a legislative body who may get positions into the FAS Council and Advisory board depending on the availability candidates to take on such roles.[/hider] [hr] [h3][b]Demographics[/b][/h3] [hider=Midgarian.] [img]https://i.imgur.com/pqiz1g1.jpg[/img] The Midgarians are a humanoid simultaneous hermaphrodite species, they have an endoskeleton, lips, teeth which is similar to that of humans. They have two luminescent eyes with glowing irises, eyelids and tear ducts; this means the eyesight of a Midgarian is pretty standard during the daylight, they are able to see normally during extreme darkness or night. This 'night vision' does come at a cost, however, their focus on distant objects can be slower than that of a normal human as their pupils do not dilate. they also have five fingers, one of which is a thumb along with five toes on each foot, The Species reach approximately 5'6 to 5'10 on average and weighting 158 to 170lbs on average. In appearance, however, the Midgarians are distinctly feminine, at least to other humanoid races. They have a slender feminine build with slight muscular tones and curves, their skin colour is usually purple, blue or pale grey which is of a smooth leathery texture. Generally, Midgarians reach maturity around the age of 22 years old with a lifespan approximately 300 years, Midgarian facial structure and hair actually makes them close to humans in physical appearance. Their physical strength is similar to humans within their own natural gravity of their home world, however; Arinar's gravitational pull is many times greater than the planetary average., a Midgarian possess elevated strength and resilience in environments with an Earth-like or similar gravity, with some human's often joking they have super-strength. Midgarian's have a complex endocrine system, having several more hormones and chemicals than humans. Although internally, Midgarian's have less glands than the human endocrine system, The Midgarian system produces a greater variety of hormones for each gland present. The most notable of these hormones is the calming chemical known as Relaxitin, which is released from the Midgarian equivalent of the adrenal glands when severely stressed. Relaxitin attaches to the areas of the brain that produces stress, causing the cells to calm and release dopamine, creating an effect similar to the effect of THC in humans. Unlike most other organisms, The Midgarian's have a specialized desalination gland, located about 3 centimetres from the mouth, allowing them to drink both salt water and freshwater. When salt water is ingested, the gland produces several enzymes that remove the salt from the water. The removed salt molecules are then transported by the blood to the skin, where it is then released from the body, much like sweating in humans. While the species has a robust cellular regenerative system, they do not heal faster than other species. Midgarian blood also differs from most other species as it is a blueish purple colour, this is due to the trace amount of Cobalt in their blood instead of Iron. As a simultaneous hermaphrodite species, as each individual possess both male and female reproductive organs with the latter being a similar internal reproductive biology to a female human. As a result, there are no gender differences, or gender-based issues which could be common to other cultures. Each individual has a smooth scalar prehensile tail hidden away in their body’s lower back, which acts as the male reproductive organ at the tip. This tail on average is about a meter long, sometimes longer. At will, though usually easier when sexually aroused, they may “grow” the tail out of their body but they prefer not to. Although it may seem that a Midgarian may reproduce without a mate having both a male and female reproductive organs, in reality it doesn't work as they have a protective mechanism against self-fertilization.[/hider] [hider=Krentasian.] [img]https://i.imgur.com/W1x5xHD.jpg[/img] The Krentasian’s are, at highest recorded height of 3 meters (10 feet) tall, with smooth, Green-coloured skin, almost hypnotically golden eyes, and long, sweeping tails. Their bodies are more Muscular than humans. Their skin is surprisingly smooth, iridescent, and Green in colour with Krentan (Male) being darker than the Krentas (female). Their bodies have Draconic-like features such as long sweeping tails, pointed ears and triangular faces with flat bifurcated noses. The skeletal structure is reinforced with naturally occurring carbon fibre, they have roughly four times the strength of the average human. The average Krentasian life span is longer than that of a human, approximately 30% longer, though they mature more rapidly while an average Krentan is approximately 2.7 meters (9 feet) tall; Krentas slightly less, average 2.5 meters (8 feet) tall, a Krentan has a mass around 210 kg (approximately 463 pounds), a Krentas mass slightly less, around 190 kg (419 pounds) due to lighter build and slightly shorter stature. While the males of the species emanated an aura of bulk and strength, the females have a distinctive air of grace, elegance and agility about them. Both genders of the species have fairly thick and long tails while the ones on the Krentas are thinner, their tails can be moved and controlled like any other appendage and is used primarily for balance, it can also be used to express emotion. Krentasian’s have hair on their heads, but appear to have no other body hair, with the exception of eyelashes, eyebrows, the tips of their ears and a small "bob" of fur on the end of their tails. The reproduction mechanics are similar to humans and other. However, it should be noted that although Krentas have breasts similar to those on female humans, also used to nurse their infants, they are not placental mammals and, as such, the actual internal reproductive biology is quite different from humanity. Dentition is similar to that of humans, though the canines are more pronounced, this is because they are an omnivorous species. They eat meat as demonstrated by their hunting practices and pronounced canines but have also been seen to forage, demonstrating their consumption of plants and other produce. Despite their green skin colour, the Krentasian’s have red blood, they also have very strong immune systems and thus quite resistant to many diseases and biological attacks, But not all. However, they can still act as carriers where other races may be more susceptible to infection. Members of species have shown to exhibit psychic abilities.[/hider] [Hider=Terrans] [img]https://i.imgur.com/VTsZre2.jpg[/img] Terrans and Humans are physiologically almost identical since they were exactly the same species, However, there was one physiological difference; Terrans are a bit more sensitive to bright light. During the early years of colonizing the Eden cluster an Ideology was formed. A decision was made to call themselves Terrans, seeing themselves different from the rest of humanity of the Eden cluster, often witnessing slavery and fascists movements of those times. A new better form of humanity had to learn from the lessons of old Terra, Terrans descendants of the old world had to not do a repeat of the same human mistakes that were endemic to it. As a society this ideology developed from the issues that the first ark had and the impact of those events that occurred. Terrans view this connection with Terra after the second ark’s help brought a chance of saving this new colony which became appropriately named Terra Nova. This caused a deeper connection to the saving of old terra, and the chance for a better future where Terrans work hard to reject the mistakes of the past and do to better of themselves for a brighter future.[/hider] [Hider=Meivuns] [img]https://i.imgur.com/clgN5H6.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/hz91E41.png[/img] The Meivun race stand at a height of 5'6 to 5'10, for females and 6'1 to 6'8 for males making them generally taller, Slim but with a muscular build, resembling humans in terms of basic skeletal structure with five digits on each hand and feet with a typical Meivun having a blue to purple skin complexion, though a teal complexion is possible albeit seemingly rare. In the place of head hair, Meivuns possess semi-flexible, cartilage-based scalp-crests that grow into shape. These structures are rigid, and do not "flop around". They have very similar internal makeup, differences being that they utilize a six chambered heart and their lungs are generally one times the size of a human’s. This allows them more stamina than the average human. They also have a thicker bone structure. Their physical strength is similar to humans, but have better Agility, Stamina and Endurance due to their genetic makeup. Meivuns are also known for a rather unique biology that differentiates them from other species of Eden as they have clusters of non-differentiated cells. These cells allow the Meivuns limited regenerative abilities, as well as the ability to adapt quickly to its environment, such as developing thicker skin after being burned or increased musculature to survive in high gravity. When a Meivun is injured or in distress, these cells move to the affected area and rapidly (~1 week) mature to specialized forms that will alleviate the issue. This also makes them immune to almost all diseases. [hider=Meivun Religion.] The Meivuns are deeply religious and spiritual people. They are polytheistic and believe in a pantheon of Gods. It is from one of their religious stories that they derived the tradition of the daggers and the reason why all Meivuns are trained in the art of making them. Meivun Gods Rihann The Father God and High Lord of the Divine Pantheon. He rules over the other Gods with a firm and just hand and is the Patron God of fatherhood. Rihun The Mother Goddess and High Lady of the Divine Pantheon. Queen of the Gods, she rules beside her mate Rihann and is the Matron Goddess of motherhood. Lestan Lord of Fire and inventor of the forge. He is the God of fire, metalworking and craftsmanship. He is the Patron God of smiths and craftsmen. It was his forging of blades for Rihann and Rihun that caused the Meivuns to create the blade ceremonies. Kriash Lord of War. He is the God of war and the Patron God of the Meivun Military. It is said that his son is the Guardian of the afterlife and only through proving one’s Honor to him can they enter the Great Thereafter. Lias Lady of Water. She is the Goddess of Water and Life and children. She is the wife of Lestan and sister of Kriash. It is said that when a child has an imaginary friend, it is Lias in child form watching over the child. Usnalal Lady of Air. She is the Goddess of Air and Wisdom. She is the Matron Goddess of Scholars and most educational institutions. She is the wife of Kriash. Her son is the Guardian of the Great Thereafter and one can only enter by proving his/her Honor to him.

It was bolstered by an FSA initiative after the great Eden war called ‘Project Horizon’ to help companies and individuals with good legal standing to mostly help improve conditions on Frontier/Tertiary worlds but also Peripheral/Secondary worlds can still benefit. In addition, a FSA subsidy is being offered to discount the bulk purchase of ships and vehicles. Other imports and exports include raw metals, alloys, minerals, foodstuffs, Articles of apparel & clothing accessories, industrial machines and Medicinal & Pharmaceuticals. There is free education and healthcare within the FSA.
