Nation: The Krannak Collective Flag: [img=http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/290/1/0/flag_of_the_new_lunar_republic_by_mlp_shadow_blitz-d6qtkqt.png] Government: Democratic/Monarchy (The monarch holds power like a Prime Minister or President, but there is a democratically elected parliment/senate) Capital: Pakrik Major Home Sector: Kanchen Sector Holdings: N/A Leader: High Lord Ul-Tera People of import: [hider=Ul-Tera] Race: Ke'ter Age : 24 Looks: Light blue skin, dull red eyes. Typically wears full combat armour, even in safe territory. Notable quote : "With all due respect, my good sir, you are trying to make this more complicated than it needs to be. Complication is the mask of the oppresive and foolish. Make your point, back it up with evidence and leave it. If you dont have a point, then stop talking." On the Equal Chances act to an opposing Govenor. Rise to power: Since the formation of the Krannak collective, the monarchy has been the driving force behind many popular declerations. Ul-tera was no different when he was a mere Lord, often pushing for bills he knew would be best for the collective, even though he knew people disagreed with him at the time. His wise decision making and shrewd negotiations made him well-known and loved in Parliment, so when the time came to elect the new High Lord, he was overwhelmingly voted in, with a 98% majority. So far, he is still respected and loved, however some fear he may be a slightly indecisive ruler who allows Parliment too much power. Equipment: Monarchs Armour, C-14 Blaster [/hider] [hider=Commandant Bal-Sha'ya] Race = Ke'ter Age = 27 Looks = Red skin, dull yellow eyes Notable quote = "My only Lord is Ul-tera. I do not take orders from you, or your lackeys. If you are subordinate to my Lord, you are subordinate to me." Bal-Sha'ya at a Govenor telling her to relocate. History = Known as the "Head Commandant", Bal-Sha'ya is a force to be reckoned with. Whilst still young, her combat experience, military tacticianship and efficient ruthlessness has won her many-a-battle. She is highly suspicious of everyone in Parliment, commonly referring to them as "Hag'wasi" or "Vultures" Perhaps this suspicion is rooted in a deep hatred for politicians after the infamous Night of Falling Stars, the day Euclid was destroyed. Due to a political decision beyond the High Lord's power, her family and herself were seperated. While she watched Euclid's destruction from a distance, her mother and father were caught up in the chaos and died. At first, she couldn't believe it. Then she was suprisingly calm. She decided to join the Space Corps. to fight for the survivors. Her tacticianship served her well, staving off pirates, slavers and desperate soldiers without so much as a casualty. She was quickly promoted through the ranks to the esteemed position of Commandant. During these years, she met young Lord Ul-Tera, a young man with good ideas and a silver tounge. He was different to the other politicians, she thought, and he was a member of the Monarchy. A few words in his ear and some military knowledge and she became the second most powerful member of the Collective. Equipment = Commandants armour, C-14 Blaster, C-34 Plasma rifle, T-1 Neutraliser [/hider] Ul-tera's Empire: With the decay of the Empire and the arrival of a strange new race, the Kanchen sector fell into disarray. Residents were both afraid of and hoping for a swift Imperial return, as it may not have been the best, but it gave them order and direction. The Ke'ter, however, were able to swiftly unite the broken sector - they described an effective method they had used on thier home planet before disaster destroyed it. The royal family was established nd the first Parliment was elected, which brought order to the confused residents. Ul-tera has proven to be both fair and ruthless, allowing everyone fair chances but being merciless when faced with threat. His "Even Chances" Act, the very first decleration he ever made, was a hit, almost doubling the sectors production and tripling its economic output since the Empire left.

[hider=C-34 Plasma rifle][img=http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/12/125691/2394361-alien_lightning_gun___concept_by_superbeanworld.jpg][/hider] T-1 Neutraliser - A pistol-like device, designed to stun and incapacitate foes, rather than kill them. Short range and low ammo weighs down a accurate, potent weapon [hider=T-1 Neutraliser][img=http://unknownworlds.com/ns2/files/2013/04/StunGun2.jpg][/hider] Tachyon Arrow - Only used when desperate. A long range, highly powerful and very dangerous bolt of energy passes through the foe, killing most instantly and incapaciting the rest. The bolt will continue to travel through foes until it hits a thick surface, meaning anyone behind the target is at risk as well. Dismal reload, one-shot clips and mega expensive ammo make this powerful weapon the ultimate Krannak last resort [hider=Tachyon arrow][img=http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/mediawiki/images/thumb/f/fb/Tachyon_Arrow.jpg/180px-Tachyon_Arrow.jpg] [/hider] Custom Race - Ke'ter (Key-ter): Looks: [img=http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130418235005/deadliestfiction/images/7/7d/XCOM_Sectoid.jpg] Average height: 0.9m - 1.2m Average life expectency: Can be extended indefinately, but on Earth's atmosphere with no technology, roughly 120 years.
