@WolfHorns mmm. Hmmm. Yes, I see... Well, they are related, certainly. I should be able to fit your character into the narrative, although we might need to hammer out a couple things. I'll hit you up with a narrative and see what you think.


Hit me Citrus! I can take it! I promise....

There are a people in the "southern" quadrant of the Galaxy who are possessed of large, leathery wings and scaled bodies. They come in many varieties, but the ones most often encountered outside of their space are bipedal and approximately person-sized. As an empire, they managed to come out of the Black Year having fared much better than anyone else. They did have their hands full, and they certainly suffered their own losses, but they were not set back in the same way other empires were. Even so, they are a people that keep to themselves, and prefer to be left alone. Draconian ships have been a very rare sighting since the Black Year, when they all retreated to their own territory. More of a legend, these days.

Our story will focus on the eastern and northern quadrants, to start.

Warp drives were the method of crossing great distances between planets and empires. Naturally occurring hyperlanes between stars support the use of warp drives today, but such bridges are rare between galactic arms. There are the ruins of what can be around to be relay structures here and there, and just one remains active since the Black Year. Each system has a catapult, to facilitate warp travel by smaller ships. Or many of them used to, at least, but many now are broken.

The nomadic tribe of humans, a coalition of the very last remains of Old Terra, wanders the hyperlanes, seeking out anything of value to support their livelihood. They're a shadow of the civilisation they came from, but they represent what little humans have to call home. Ancient ships protect these people and ensure their safety.

Perhaps the only other people who remember the Terrans, perhaps only for the remnant at the edge of their territory, their nearest neighbor used to share quite a rivalry with them. Military skirmishes were frequent, though ships were given retreat and casualties kept low. A people who believe in honor and might, the Mioran empire was an collection of different races. Since the Black Year, their territory has been shattered, with smaller nations rising from the remains of the old power. The empire yet plans to once again conquer it's previous territory, but the struggle may be intense.

The Cosmic Empire, so called because they believe themselves to be the proper ruler of the Galaxy, conquers their neighbors and promptly vassalizes willing nations. Led by race of tentacled arthropods from the planet Odesion, which orbits the star Lacitra, they had a tense but ultimately friendly rivalry with the Terran Solidarity, who proved military might against them again and again, gaining their respect.

The Cosmic Empire consists of tentacled, squid or octopus-like rulers, and a more crab-like subservient people who provide labor and muscle, though their previously conquered territories have a wide variety of races.

Before the Black Year, and the retreat of the Dracon fleets, Luminium circulated among the galactic empires. It came from Drac space, useful as emergency fuel and as a currency. Machines from Drac, from ship equipment to appliances like ovens, refrigerators, to power tools and power supplies, could be powered by Luminium.

Millennia have passed since Luminium could be sourced. Now, it's been turning up in the wild. The race is on.

Imperial ships are aquatic on the interior, owing to the aquatic nature of the manufacturers. For diplomatic purposes, as one of the few water-dwelling space races, they've found it advantageous to develop a wide variety of technologies to allow diplomatic and commercial intermingling with "drys". They have excelled in robotics to adapt to dry land, with their androids made their way through the markets as top shelf, even before the Black Year. The technology for the diving suits, for divers to come aboard their ships, is also for sale.

Their planet-capable ships can dive underwater to reach their cities, only some of which have ocean-top docks. They permit ocean-side tourist and resort settlements to be built, but monitor such locations closely for pollutants. They're very eco-conscious.

I'll compile the lore into the first post later.

Nations are optional. I suppose ships are, too, strictly speaking.

Man, this is a lot of work. Time to write up three races.

Four. Humans.
