[hider=WIP"lash"] [u]Nation Name/Flag[/u]: [center][b]Nexans[/b] [img]https://i.postimg.cc/SsPSqgqt/Screenshot-2022-12-12-at-16-29-01.png[/img][/center] Map Location: currently close to the three other nations [hider=Migration Pattern][img]https://i.postimg.cc/4Nh586rc/Screenshot-2022-12-14-at-18-51-41.png[/img][/hider] [u]Government Type[/u]: Nomadic Military Tribe [u]Government & Society[/u]: The Nexans are a warrior brotherhood first and a government second. This is encapsulated in their ethics. In battle it is not the highest rank that is that is considered officer, rather it is the squad member that is in the most pain. The wounded squad member is considered to have made the most sacrifice to the cause and therefore deserving of the most respect. This respect transcends traditional military insignia. And, provided that they are not overwhelmed by their wounds, they may go on to formulate the plan of attack. [center]“Nexans dont fight with their mind, they fight with their heart.” - Nexan proverb[/center] The general battle plan is usually so well understood by the individual warrior, via aid of high-spec battlefield software, strategy training, years of battlefield experiance and high IQ attained via genetic modification that this method actually works quite well: units can operate when cut off from their command structure; officers have to lead from the front if they wish to attain rank; armchair generals are generally rare. The average Nexan follows a Ascetic life style. They do not need many luxuries for themselves, though they do try to give them to others. Their primary concern is the freedom of the human race. They believe that nature has invested in them the ability and the right to set others free, and they will do it at all cost. Whether this belief is true or is some sort of genetic instinct which is a remnant of their genetic tampering is unknown. Due to this they live very carefree lifestyles, as long as something does not bring dishonor it is viewed as fair game. [center]"There are many wrongs but only one right." - Nexan proverb[/center] When Nexans choose a specialization they try to complete it with the utmost attention and serenity. Whether its ship reactor maintenance or space suit design and manufacture or even mercantile trade, these things are always done alongside the responsibility of the brotherhood, rather than to exclusion of it. It is a bylaw that all officers and specialists must be combat-ready and complete the monthly assault course assessments. [u]Demographics[/u]: All Nexans are genetically modified and have above-human endurance, strength and toughness. They can regenerate lost limbs and organs over the course of many months. As such they all share many of the same genes. Due to this they are all actually much closer related than brothers. It is possible to join the Nexans, however you must accept the genetic mods to bring your abilities up to their level. So far there have been no aliens admitted, but this is not due to xenophobia. [center]"Do not seek to triumph over others, triumph over ones self is the long war" - Nexan proverb[/center] Nexans often deploy younger "Acolytes" onto second-line roles on the battlefield, such as driving supply vehicles and erecting defenses. They are all given a universal general education with particular emphasis on mechanics and science. These Acolytes can strip and reassemble a rifle blindfolded by the age of 15. By the age of 20 they can perform martial arts blindfolded as well. Resources for the war machine are often attained through capturing asteroids and are mined by automated machines. However the bulk of their armory is sustained by trading with generous alien races (some of which are unrecorded) and relics taken from enemy armies. The "Research Core" which is by far one of the largest departments in their military, is constantly unlocking the secrets of alien relics and testing new weaponry. [u]Military[/u]: (The fun part!

These units became Rifleers out of choice, rather than circumstance. Each one of them is trained in other specialisms and put themselves forward to selection for Action-Teams. They are polymaths and a squad can just as easily contain an interpreter as it can sapper. They are to be viewed as unpredictable and handled with extreme caution." - Recovered Enemy Battlefield Manual Class: Nexan Rifleer Hight: 7" Weight: 210lbs" Skin Colour: Temperature Dependent Hair Colour: Genetically Modified by choice Eye Colour: Genetically Modified by choice Armour: Reactive Armour (White areas), Speed enhancing synth-muscle (Black Areas), Tactical Hud Overlay, Multiband Sat-phone. x4 Hybrid Thermal/Night lenses with range focussing.

By far one of the most free-spirited and daring of the Nexans, they are usually employed en-mass as line breaker units; quickly approaching and overwhelming enemy front lines. Due to their extreme speed, reflexes and number, most enemy vehicles cannot cope with them. Size: Small Speed: ??? Weapons: x2 Missiles of unknown design, various small arms.

Members of Nexan can switch freely between each of the houses and during warfare this may happen spontaneously. Members of covert usually genetically modify their hair blonde.
