@Darked13

Great. Just tell me when you do.

Enjoy your flight :)

@Marquise

Well, I survived....that's all that matters.

[datadogie]

Welp, barely any idea what to put in the history of my race. XD

[Skippy O Africa]

I'm very interested in taking part but new to the format so I'll lurk for a while.
Currently thinking something along the lines of a mercantile nation that's nominally terran but with a large xenophile population thanks to trade and migration. Sort of reluctant oppressors who see more money to be made from tolerance than conflict.

We'll see :D

@Skippy O Africa

Quite interesting, glad to have your interest.
On a better note, I have no more flying for the next month, so I can be a lot more active with everything.

@Fashy Excellent! So what kind of nation are you making?

Nation Application

Zenohunts

Name Of Country: United Zenohunt Federation (often shortened down to just 'Zenohunts', since it just refers to the entire race being united)
Banner/Flag:

Banner

Ruler/Rulers: The current Tapresiden is Emily Farport. She has two daughters; Amy Farport, who is a Senior Ambassador and Diplomat, and Lucy Farport, who serves as a Commodore in the United Zenohunt Navy.
Species (If Human, Put Terran): Zenohunt

Species Description

Zenohunts are almost similar to Humans apart from the fact that they often have some minor changes in personality based on their animal traits; Zenohunts have some features of animals, let that be a tail or ears. They sometimes vary, some having claws, for example. It is uncommon to rare for a Zenohunt to have wings, however even then only one Zenohunt, Amelia Lara, was able to use them to fly, and she could only fly for a small amount of time.

Zenohunts usually start out young: In systems where they are government, the age of Zenohunt adulthood/mature age is twelve. They are allowed to leave school and work at the age of twelve, and at that age they are also allowed to marry and have a family (though this requires permission from the local authorities as well as some tests to make sure that the couple are sure of what they are doing). This includes the military: They are allowed to join the Zenohunt army at twelve (Home Deployment Force) or fourteen (Non-Home Deployment Force), the Zenohunt Navy at thirteen (or fourteen if they wish to become an attack pilot), and the Zenohunt Marines at fourteen. Zenohunt intelligence usually 'recruits' from the ages of six and up, though this is unconfirmed. Zenohunts living with another species can technically join another species' military if they are multi-species, however this is often quite rare and those that do still have major loyalty toward Zenohunts.

Zenohunt relation with other species is that their military forces, including (but not limited to) their Space Navy, Army, Intelligence, Marines and Zenofighters (Super-Special forces) are not integrated into any other species' militaries, and are in a separate but stable alliance. Their merchant marine and trade ships, however, are free to flutter in and out of societies (the former able to until called to war), and their people and free to mingle with other species.

Allegiance

Err... Chaotic neutral? Zenohunts are willing to co-operate with other nations, but if something threatens them, they will seek to rid it, through compensation or blood.

How The Government Is Ran

At the top, there is the Tapresiden (which translates to 'President'), who has the final and ultimate say. If they do not like something, it is gone. If they want something to happen, it will happen. An act or law that they introduce can be challenged two years after it has taken place. The Tapresiden can start a war by themselves, however it is common for them to present the prospect of war to either the High Seats or the Low Seats and have it voted on. Tapresiden are half hereditary, half elected. The Tapresiden's sons and daughters are the candidates. If there is only one, then they are automatically placed as the new Tapresiden. If there are two or more heirs, a representative from every planet under Zenohunt rule and one High Seat will gather in Ehop, and will vote for which of them will become the new Tapresiden. If there are no heirs and the Tapresiden cannot give birth for some reason (if the Tapresiden does not have a husband or wife, a High Seat will become a sperm donor or a surrogate mother), the same process will happen (planetary representatives gather at Ehop and vote) except they will be voting for one of the High Seats to become the new Tapresiden. If there is a heir, but they are not yet at the age of maturity (twelve), then the High Seats will collectively be a council to serve as the Tapresiden until the heir reaches maturity.

Underneath the Tapresiden are their heirs, often referred to as Tapresiden-Radaughte (President-Daughter) or Tapresiden-Naso (President-Son), and serve as important figures. They usually take up a very important role within government or related to government. For example, they may serve as a Senior Ambassador and Diplomat, which will get them used to diplomatic relations. Or, they may serve as a high ranking military officer, which will get them used to the military side and decisions. Even serving as a police officer can get them used to crime and internal problems. They are not, however, allowed to serve at the top of the chain, though they must be respected as a son or daughter of the Tapresiden. Governmental-wise, they can make important decisions, and they are a part of government and so have roles within it. Their word is slightly above that of a High Seat. They cannot formally start a war, but can suggest that to their mother or father or can suggest it to the High Seats. Those heirs that are not elected as Tapresiden may stay in the roles that they were in before the election, and have the ability to rise higher in those roles. They will still have some royal respect, as they are the brother or sister of the Tapresiden.

Under the Tapresiden (and their heirs) are the High Seats, who are in charge of the major decisions. There are twenty five High Seats. When it comes to war, the High Seat(s) who are for it must present it to the Low Seats, who then vote on it. If it goes through, then the High Seats have their vote. If the prospect of war was suggested to them by a Tapresiden-Radaughte or Tapresiden-Naso, they do not need to go to the Low Seats and can decide upon it by themselves. If twenty or more High Seats vote for war, they do not need to go to the Tapresiden. If less than twenty vote for war, the Tapresiden has their final say. The Tapresiden can technically override the call for war if they present a good enough case to the Low Seats and over 50% vote in favour of the Tapresiden.

Under the High Seats are the Low Seats. These vary in number, however there is a minimum of two hundred at a time. They have the say in low affairs. If a Low Seat wants war, he can present this to the other Low Seats, who take a vote. If over 60% vote in favour, it goes to the High Seats. If fifteen or more High Seats vote in favour of war, it goes to the Tapresiden. There is no skipping the Tapresiden step when it comes to a Low Seat proposing war.

Under the Low Seats are technically sector and planetary governments, who decide on local affairs and handle their planets (or sectors, in the case of sector governments. Sectors refer to a group of planets, each with their own planetary governments). Each planetary government has one planetary representative. Planetary governments can only send their representative to propose war to a Low Seat, and have no other say. A sector government, if it wishes to take emergency measures, can technically order the Zenohunt navy in the sector to take action against foes, particularly if blood has already been drawn, though a message has to be passed up higher authorities and they can easily override the orders.

Military Strategy

Zenohunts have a mix of ships. Whilst the majority of their ships are from small to medium sizes, they have some large ships. Whilst that sounds intimidating to an outside source, the only large ships that have to be worried about are carriers and battleships. There are two ultra-large ships: The Oindig-class Planet Striker, with the capability to invade and support the invasion of a fully settled world on it's own, and the Thadea-class Dreadnaught, which not only serves as the ultimate ship of war for the Zenohunts but also as a mobile space command structure in it's own right. The other large ships they have are scavengers, freighters, and generally civilian ships or those belonging to the merchant navy, which will enter a war if needed. They usually have very few weapons, though enough to give a pirate a run for his money.

History

Zenohunts came from their home planet, Lemia, and were quite territorial. They often started wars amongst tribes for food or land. After a long while, official 'peacelands' were made, but few still raided these for what they needed before they were cut down. The two main cities, Ehop and Yasanctuar, which both translate to Hope and Sanctuary, were soon built. Ehop would soon become the capital of the United Zenohunt Federation.

It wasn't until Zenohunts expanded into space that actual peace started among them. It was during the meeting of another species, the Iasdan, that the Zenohunts first fell under the blanket banner of the 'United Zenohunt Federation', a symbol that they had stopped the wars amongst themselves and were together as a whole. The Zenohunts established good relations with the Iasdan, though these relations shattered after years of peace when the Iasdan made an assassination attempt on the Zenohunt president, and succeeded. The president's daughter took over and declared war on the Iasdan. As both races had never fought a war on such scale before, it was cumbersome for both sides.

Eventually, the Zenohunts constructed the Oindig prototype, an early predecessor to the Oindig-class Planet Strikers. It took them a few years to build it, and it was cumbersome but effective, supporting landing operations on several Iasdan worlds before it was destroyed. It did, however, start work toward the Zenohunts winning the war, but only after making Iasdan extinct.

The Zenohunts rebuilt what they had lost and incorporated technology that the Iasdan had that the Zenohunts hadn't into their lives. They aimed to have good relations with other races they met.

Other

The Zenohunts have good intentions, but will seek compensation for any problems that another nation has caused. They will also take threats seriously; Their captains have the right to open fire if they perceive something as hostile.

Character Applications

Amy Farport

Name: Amy Farport
Age: 19
Species: Zenohunt
Place In Story (Job): Tapresiden-Radaughte, Senior Ambassador and Diplomat
Character Description (Physically): Amy stands at 5'3". She has blue eyes, is slim and has a small bust. Amy has blonde hair that reaches down to her mid-back. She has an orange fox tail as well as orange fox ears, just like her brother.
Character Description (Mentally): Amy knows when to submit and when to push on, though she can sometimes make mistakes. She personally thinks that she is suited to take her mother's place as president, and that her sister will be too orientated on the threats any alliance would bring, and that her sister would probably always resort to militant tactics in her rule, as opposed to any more peaceful methods.
Biography: Amy was born on Lemea and lived there for most of her life. She went to school and lived a normal life, though was taught continually about her role in society. She decided to be a diplomat and ambassador once she reached adulthood, as she felt that would support her the most in future if she was to become Tapresiden over her sister. Amy was involved in several diplomatic affairs and had some experience with them. She usually kept contact with her sister, and would often exchange stories with her.

Lucy Farport

Name: Lucy Farport
Age: 23
Species: Zenohunt
Place In Story (Job): Tapresiden-Radaughte, Commodore of the United Zenohunt Navy
Character Description (Physically): Lucy stands at 5'8", with a strong build and mediocre sized bust on her chest. She, like her sister, has blue eyes, though hers is a tint brighter, and she has small lips. Lucy, also like her sister Amy, has an orange fox tail and orange fox ears, though her fox ears are slightly smaller.
Character Description (Mentally): Lucy feels that military strength is key to any nation surviving, as without showing strength they looked weak and able to be taken over. At the same time, as opposed to her sister's thoughts, she does have some belief in peaceful methods, as Amy has shown that they work. Lucy does not like losing, and cherishes every win. She is protective over her little sister.
Biography: Lucy, like her sister, was born on Lemea. She grew up an only child for the first five years until Amy arrived, and she could not help but feel protective over her. It was at school once that Lucy beat another kid for making fun of Amy, and it was also then that Amy thought that showing strength was the key to survival. That was why, when she became of age, she used her connections to allow her access into the United Zenohunt Navy a year early, as an officer. Despite this, and respite being Tapresiden-Radaughte, she was put through the same rigorous training as other officers. She served for several years, and finally became the rank of a Commodore.

Alrighty, after thinking for a bit. I've decided what to make. An insectoid civilization that was on the fringes of the old empire. Now with the Empire gone, they seek to fill in the void the Empire left and become the dominant power in the Galaxy. I'm going for a mix of bio-weapons and natural species idea, in that there is a creator race(the main bugs) and their vat-grown servitors(the bio-weapon bugs).

Ayyy, thank you! ^_^ Spent plenty of time on it, happy it got accepted.

@datadogie

Well, it certainly shows how much time you put.
Also, you can post it in the character section now.

[Sigma]

Far from done, but here's what I have so far.

Dathu

Unified Dathu Hives

Ruler/Rulers:

Queen Mother Zalkui

Species and Description:

Dathu

The Dathu are an insectoid species with vaguely humanoid shapes along their upper body, with two or more arms. The lower half of their bodies however resemble what is typically expected of insect lifeforms, with four or more legs around their abdomens and thorax.
(For more in-depth information, check the history)

Yanthu

The Yanthu are an Artificial species created by the Dathu to serve as their new warrior castes. The Yanthu, with the role they play in Dathu Society, have no base form, rather, are molded into several sub-species that serve various purposes on the battlefield. The Yanthu are split into two main overarching "Strains", the Alpha Strain and the Omega Strain. The Alpha Strain serve as a more "traditional" military arm, taking on humanoid shapes to serve as a counter to the terran and xeno armies in the Galaxy, created to battle in close-quarters combat or in urban environments.

The Omega Strain are the more beastial aspect of the Yanthu, made as maddened living killing machines. The Omega Strain serve as the Attack dogs of the Aplha Yanthu, on occasion, are sent out ahead of the main force to weaken the targeted world for subjugation.

Slave Species

In their short bouts of conquests and the like, the Dathu have conquered a number of human and alien worlds along the fringes of the Old Empire, many of the local populations were either killed off, fled to neighboring, far stronger powers or enslaved by the Dathu, the conquered now forced to serve the Hives either as livestock to be broken down and harvested, as a cheap workforce or in rare cases, used as unwilling cannon fodder even below the Yanthu.

Aldzir

Aldzir are a semi-marine mammalian species native to Nasj, an Earth-like Moon that orbits a Gas Giant. The Aldzir are covered from head to toe in thick fur. Their Fur comes in several shades of color depending on the region of their homeworld, the most common colors being Brown, Gray, White and or stripped colors.

The Aldzir have two sets of eyes, an adaptation of their semi-aquatic existence, their vision more sharper then the average human. The upper, smaller pair of eyes are made use to traverse underwater when scavenging for food, the bottom larger eyes are their primary ones for sight in the surface.

Aldzir eat and communicate via a trunk, although unimposing at first, inside a Aldzir trunk are tiny sharp fangs to aide them in consuming blood and shredded meat. Aldzir speak with high-pitched chirps, buzzes, and grunts, it is physically impossible for Aldzir to speak any other languages and often are in need of special translation collars or other such devices, or that an alien speak in their tongue. The Aldzir homeworld, before the Fall, was once one out of thousands of Imperial Resort Worlds, its unique and picturesque scenery made fitting for Imperial Aristocrats.

The Aldzir themselves, with their girth and mass, were seen as fitting universal laborers, with few exceptions, were able to work in almost any climate. Some more bloodthirsty nobles had found the Aldzir as ideal warriors for gladiatorial arenas.

Following the Empire's total collapse and proceeding Dathu Conquest, many terran nobles were among the first to flee what is now known as the Dathu Occupied Territories, bringing with them their Aldzir slaves, the slave families and other servants, although not an ideal situation, said slaves would be considered the fortunate ones, their fellow tribemen, and countless others had faced against the full brunt of the Dathu Invasion.

Terrans and Others
A number of Terran Border Worlds had fallen to the early stages of the Dathu Invasion, many terrans now trapped within occupied dathu space with their xeno cohorts.

Allegiance: None, the Dathu owe no allegiance to any but to themselves, seeing themselves as the new and rightful rulers of the Old Empire.
How The Government Is Ran:
Military Strategy:
The Hivefleets of the Dathu prefer swarm tactics with a deadly blend of heavy capital ships and near endless swarms of smaller warships and fighter craft. Ground warfare is taken upon in a similar approach as legions of Yanthu soldiers are sent to besiege and overwhelm entrenched enemy positions and fortifications.

Hivefleet

Capital Ships

-Dathon-class Supercarrier: The Dathon-class Supercarrier is by far the largest capital ship the Dathu Hivefleet has to offer. The Dathon Supercarriers are primarily designed to operate as the command and control center of all of hivefleet operations, and support for ground forces.

-Ghash-class Heavy Cruiser:

Aurud-class Battlecruiser:

-Zinu-class Light Cruiser:

-Virzin-class Heavy Frigate:

-Uarsh-class Frigate:

-Hish-class Corvette:

Small Craft

-Kurk-class Space Superiority Fighter:
-Shazi-class Fighter-Bomber:
-Kviru-class Interceptor:
-Dras-class War Pod
-Thav-class Dropship:
-Kilk-class Gunship:
-Lashu-class Boarding Pod:
Janr-class Landing Craft

Ground Forces

Yanthu

Alpha Strain
-Legionary: The core of the Dathu servitor armies. The Legionaries, like all other Yanthu, primarily created as a counter human soldiers, and from birth are ingrained mentally with standard battle tactics and strategy, just enough information to give the most novice of troop something to fear.

-Centurion: The Centurions are a grade above their legionary brethren, and are given more autonomy on the battlefield, acting as low ranked officers in the swarm, leading other Yanthu into battle if a Dathu Overseer were not to be present.

-Heavy: The Heavies are much larger and more well-armored Variants of the Legionaries and Centurion, made for the purpose of acting as shock heavy infantry or in some cases, acting as living weapon emplacements. Their unique design allows them to wield two heavy weapons, be it anti-material rifles, anti-armor cannons or heavy plasma guns.

-Juggernaut: The Yanthu Juggernauts are truly a fearsome sight to behold. Clad in heavy armor and equipped with a plasma lance cannon, the Juggernauts serve a similar role to the Heavies, however, the Juggernauts were forged as a more melee originated warrior.

-Umbra: The Umbra are a unique sub-strain among the Alpha Yanthus, taking on an authentically humanoid shape, unlike their vaguely humanoid or beastial brethren. The Umbras serve as an Infiltration Unit, bred to operate independently behind enemy lines, or as snipers in an active warzone. With such a role, the Umbra are giving even greater autonomy then the Centurions.

Omega Strain
-Ravager: The Main frontline fighter of the Omega Strain. The Ravagers are medium-sized berserk warmachines capable of untold destruction and death on the battlefield. They are moderately-armored, their large mandibles and various limbs are all capable melee weapons able to shred enemy infantry to bits. The Ravagers and their Omega kin often are the prime choice of Dathu Brood Masters as the first wave of a Dathu Invasion. In the middle stages of a Dathu Invasion, Ravagers become a sort of warhound for the Alpha Strain Yanthu.

-Reaper: Reapers are the aerial shock troops of the Omega Strain. Reapers are designed similarly to the Ravagers, with all their blade-sharp limbs and mandibles being capable melee weapons. Reapers are primarily skirmishers, sent to scout out and often harass the enemy via a hit and run strategy. Reapers are armed with poisonous stinger darts which can be shot out from their posterior.

-Behemoth: By far one of the larger members of the Yanthu overall. Covered in thick armored platting comparable to an Alpha Juggernaut and standing at ten meters in height, The Behemoth is a living siege engine, acting as the ultimate terror weapon, although the same could be said for the entirety of the Omega Strain.

-Decimater: The Omega Decimater serves as a sort of living tank, and to a lesser extent, serves as a lesser terror and siege engine compared to the Behemoth, but it has its purpose. Due to it's more small size, the Decimater often is ideal as Anti-Infantry beasts, making use of the highly corrosive and flammable substance deep within their bodies. As the name implies, and at will, a Decimater can eject the substance from their nozzle and wreak havoc to any infantry formations that dare stand in its way.

History:
Native to the Arid World of Dathon, in their earliest moments of evolution, the Dathu had their origins as tunnel-dwelling creatures, very much similar to Terran Ants. The ancient beastial ancestors of the Dathu however, were forced out of their tunnel networks from viscous predators, namely, the Urgok Rock Worm. Forced from their old habitat, the Ancient Dathu had to adapt to the harsh and unforgiving surface of Dathon, and it of course, was a slow process.

As the ages pass, the Dathu were soon becoming the Apex Predator of Dathon as many hives spread across the planet and dominated. Their intelligence grew and grew as their numbers increased, causing a strange, yet peculiar event that changed the course of Dathu Evolution, the Ancient Dathu were once a hiveminded species like any other, but as their numbers grew, the hivemind, although still present in some capacity even to the modern day, had increasingly grown weaker, the old biological caste system slowly bred out of the genepool. The Ancient three castes of the Dathu, the Matriarchs, the Warriors and the Workers, had become blurred and meshed as the species became one.

Many Dathu were now fully autonomous, became Individuals, this drastic change to the Dathu led the way to the establishment of civilization. A thousand years before the Empire's fall, the Terran Empire had stumbled upon the world of Dathon along it's border, civilization that had reached it's colonial stage, the Dathu Hives stretching across several star systems.

First contact with the Terrans ended in bloodshed as the Empire and the Dathu fought a five year long war, a war the Dathu inevitably lost.

Keep in mind, this is a major Work In Progress

ENJ

Holy Empire Of New Jerusalem

Ruler/Rulers:

Holy Emperor, By The Absolute Grace And Will Of Heaven, Chosen By God, Godfrey Amalric II "The Inquisitor"

Emperor Godfrey stands at a short 5 foot 6, with Dark Brown hair stretching to his shoulders and Dark Purple Eyes, a trait of the distinct to the Royal Bloodline. He himself has only ruled for 2 years, after his fathers assassination by Secular Rebels in the Empire. His official coronation as Emperor was also the date that his father, Henry Amalric, was given Sainthood for his martyrdom. In his short time as ruler, he gained two "titles", those who approve of his reign typically refer to him as "The Holy", this is because of his tendency to convert other neighboring nations to Christianity, and those who disprove of his reign typically call him "The Inquisitor", as most of those conversions are done by force and through his "Inquisitions" against the Heretics and Heathens. He himself has accepted that title as his official, mocking those who disprove and mock his reign.

Species Demographics:
Pure Humans: 70%
Completely Unmodified Humans: 15%
Various Nonhumans: 10%
Modified Humans: 5%

Species Description:

Visurmica

The Visurmica are an Insect-Like species inhabiting a small corner of the Empire, they are known for their common rebellions and protests. Thought they have accepted Christianity, they've mixed it with their old tribal religions, thus causing anger amongst the Human population in the Empire, claiming that these heretics deserve to be punished.

Aeorbis

The Aeorbis are a mostly gaseous species that are found inhabiting throughout the Western part of the Empire. They are made up of both Solid and Gaseous pieces, making them an often studied species amongst scientists all across the galaxy, unlike most species, they've accepted Human Control and have begun to adapt to Christianity

Moracones

The Moracones are the most violent and rebellious of the Nonhuman minorities across the Empire. Reptilian in appearance, with their name being a mixture of the words "Death" and "Dragon" in Latin, they are typically referred to as "Devil Lizards". While they populate the least amount of territory across the Empire, they are the fastest breeding and most populated Nonhuman species. They are only found in single solar system, but all planets in the system are populated, and their numbers stretch well into the hundreds of billions. They still cling to their Pre-Human religious beliefs, typically slaughtering any Christian Missionary that comes into their territory.

Paulones

The Paulones hold relation to the Moracones. In fact, the similarities between the two show that they split somewhere down the evolution line a couple million years ago. The Paulones, while being much smaller and much more docile compared to the Moracones, were much more advanced when they first experienced Human Contact, becoming one of the few favored species through the Empire. They were one of the first species to begin their conversion to Christianity once the ENJ was formed. They populate a large part of the Southeastern area of the Empire.

Modified Humans

Modified Humans are the descendants of Slaves from the old empire. Their ancestors were modified genetically to make them perfect for the work they were put to, in most cases, their learning abilities and other brain functions were absolutely lobotomized, but they were made stronger and easier to physically adapt to certain situations. In certain situations, Slaves had some extra "ability" added to them, along with this stronger body but lower IQ. Most likely, this was just the ability to jump higher, or tougher skin, but depending on the owner, they sometimes got abilities that helped their descendants. One of these traits, now common amongst the Modified Humans, is the Higher Resistance to pain along with much higher stamina, these traits combined allowed them to work harder and faster without dropping dead from the heat. Modified Humans now typically have better Immune Systems, higher Stamina, Higher Pain Resistance, Stronger Bodies, and quicker recovery from Injuries, but their extremely low Brain Power makes it virtually impossible for them to ever organize a proper revolt. You can find them throughout all of the Empire, but in very low numbers. In society, they are still lower class, but no longer are they regarded as slaves.

Pure Humans

Pure Humans, the majority population of the Empire, are the descendents of an Extreme Upper-Class in the former Empire. While claiming to be pure, they themselves have some genetic modifications that was passed from their ancestors, but unlike the "Modified Humans", these have helped them. On a basic level, they have a much wider array of possible common eye and hair colors, and they quite typically have extremely light colored skin, something that was modified long ago to help them seem more "royal" in appearance. On an actual attribute level, Pure Humans typically stand at 5 feet 8 inches in height, an average that both Women and Men have.

Completely Unmodified Humans

Completely Unmodified Humans, commonly referred to as CUHs, are just your standard humans, with little to no ancestors who were changed genetically, either in a negative or positive way, they are quite typically your standard Lower Middle Class population, ranking well above the Modified Humans, but Well below those who are considered "Pure".

Allegiance:
The Holy Empire of Neo-Jerusalem has one goal in mind, spreading the words of Christ throughout the Galaxy and eventually, the whole Universe. The former Empire that ruled the Galaxy was not known for it's niceness to Christians, but did not attempt to destroy them because of how much of the population was made up by them. Despite this, the verbal attacks the former Emperors made on Christendom made this nation eventually despise them. The ENJ is technically aligned with most of the human countries, but the relations are strained because of their radical religious opinions compared to the rest of them.

How The Government Is Ran:
The Government is Ran by in a joint effort by 3 different "groups". The Royal Bloodline, who are just the Emperor and ten relatives of his choice, rule over basic National decisions such as Taxes and Non-Religious Laws. They also have the ability to veto laws put up by the Parliament and the Emperor has the ability to create an imperial order and override the Parliaments decision if it was within 10 officials. Within the Royal Bloodline, the Emperor has most of the power, with the other 10 relatives acting as advisors over certain aspects.
The Parliament is a group of 499 elected officials who deal mostly with relations with other countries. If the Empire wants to go to Non-Religious war, the 499 elected officials must vote in favor of it (unless the Emperor decides to create an imperial order). They go over treaties, trade agreements, and alliances with other countries. Quite typically, the Parliament has almost always been majority Far-Right, though during times of an Emperor who's decisions have been corrupt or effected the people in a completely negative way, you have seen a much more "Progressive" council. Of course, rumors of rigged elections always run rampant, espicially with an Emperor who rules with much tighter control than most of his predecessors. The Leader of the Parliament is elected amongst its members every 4 years.
The Church is the 3rd group of the government, dealing with Inquisitions, Crusades, and Religious Laws. The major power of the Church lies in the Pentararchy, all representing the five Major cities in the Empire. The Bishop of St. Constantine rules over the Orthodox Church. The Orthodox Church is the 2nd Largest throughout the Empire. The Bishop of Romas represents the Catholics in the Empire, this is the only title that doesn't have control over their church, as once the Holy See was disbanded, multiple people claimed to be the next leader of the Catholic Church. Catholics make up the largest amount of the population Religious wise. The Patriarch of New Jerusalem is the strongest religious office in the Empire. The Office is decided between the four other major Church Leaders and the Current Emperor once the last Patriarch dies. He can be either a member of any Christian Church, and he does not have to be a former Bishop. The Bishop of Justinian's Knights Order is the leader of Knights Hyperious, a Church Organization that has trained the strongest warriors throughout the Empire. While not being in itself a church, they are thought of an "Extremist" Orthodox Group that holds massive disdain for Non-Orthodox Churches. Lastly, the Bishop of St. Pious is considered to be the weakest Religious Leader throughout the Pentarchy. He leads a Splinter Group that left the Catholic church in 2024 for Pope Francis's successor being considered to far right for their liking. Throughout time, their opinions on a more Liberal church has not changed, and they continue to state that a Secular Society is the best possible way for society to grow. The smaller Priests throughout the Empire still continue to have some power, being electors for the positions of the 4 Bishops, but they do nothing but vote on some religious decisions.

Military Strategy:
The military strategy of the Empire is mostly based around a strategy of overpowering the enemy with numbers and fast attacks. In most space battles, they have 3 "mother ships" with the generals who each command 1/3rd of the army, along with thousands of smaller piloted ships and hundreds of thousands of drones. The piloted ships are meant for more specific attacks and the drones are meant to charge the enemies in waves.
In the case of Ground warfare, the army is divided into 3 major groups. Inquisitors, Imperial Guardsmen, and Infantry. The Infantry are the frontline, they are the most numerous but also the most likely to die. The Imperial Guardsmen are few in number, but what they lack in population they gain in power. Their army is quite large and bulky, giving them the advantage of being able to take damage before dying. In a situation were they are about to be killed, they have the ability to set their suit to self-destruct mode, making sure they can take some enemies of the Empire with them before they die. The Inquisitors are the greatest part of the army, they are known for their Ruthlessness and Speed while carrying out a mission.

@Fashy What was the Human Empires position on transhumanism and artificial intelligence? Banned? Allowed? Etc

LIST OF IDEAS:
-Transhuman principalities out on the frontier
-Hedonistic saccharine but really ruthless Illium-esque Alien Space Babes

It was allowed, though it wasn't exactly encouraged.

Tushina

Name Of Country: The Tushian Empire (Or Tushina for short)

Banner/Flag:


Ruler/Rulers:
Species: Terrian (70%), Ko'Bold (30%)

Species Description (Only For Non-Humans):

Ko'Bold

The Ko'Bold race are a humanoid race of reptiles that stand at around 2-4 feet tall that come in a variety of scale colors. Their hands and feet are claw like, but they have more then enough dexterousness in their claws to handle most devices with the same care and skill as a Terrian would. All of them have tails while some are born with wings (through they cannot actually fly with them, they are still seen as a desirable trait). While they appear carnivous (and enjoy the taste of meat greatly) they are in fact able to eat just about anything they can sink their rather sharp teeth into.

Ko'Bold

Allegiance: Itself.

How The Government Is Ran:
Tushina is a Military Junta, ruled by a council of high ranking military leaders known as the Obsidian Order. The Obsidian Order has some degree of influence in all branches of government, through often times with local government it prefers to monitor the situation and send orders down to the local members of the administration. The administration is dedicated largely to the survival of the Tushian Empire and it's military, but in times of peace branches of government dedicated to the well fare and happiness of the citizenry will get the funding they require. In times of war, civilian branches of government are the first to be cut back.

Watching and learning from the mistakes of the past human empire, the Tushian Empire has taken a rather pragmatic view when it comes to foreign affairs: If it encounters a rival empire that it doesn't currently have the ability to take over, the Tushian Empire will open diplomatic channels with them and try to stay on relatively good terms; If they encounter aliens that they are stronger then (or an opportunity to strike down their rival presents itself) there are really only two options to take. Either convince the xeno's in question that their lives would be better off as a member of the Tushina Empire and bring them in as an equal member (second class citzens and slavery tends to only cause problems in the long run after all) or exterminate them all and colonize the planet with loyal Tushian citizens (Less problems down the line internally and thus Tushina maintains a strong core!).

Military Strategy: While most of the fleet is made up of medium ships, the Tushina Military also maintains a number of large and smaller ships in order to allow them versatility in order to deal with the threats that they may encounter.

History:
The colony of Tushina was once the pride and joy of the Empire, a bastion of Imperial rule near the far frontier. It's primary purpose had been as a military outpost in order to give the Empire a foothold in that part of the Milky Way, but as time and wars past its purpose evolved into that of a peace keeping force; Any alien or treasonous world in that part of the Empire that dared rebel needed to be brought back into line and military might of Tushina would be the second responders in the event that loyalist forces on the planet in question couldn't handle the situation. In the event that the Tushian military couldn't handle the problem, Tushina itself would serve as a secure mustering ground for forces from elsewhere in the Empire to gather and crush the threat completely.

As the Empire started to decline, Tushina quickly found itself neglected by the powers that be who were often to focused on other things to care about the safety and well being of the realm. While at first it remained loyal, as years past with greater unrest from the worlds on the frontier while the core worlds provided less and less support that loyalty started to waver until at least the core worlds abandoned Tushina completely.

Abandoned by the Empire, the decision on what to do now had to be made... and it was made by a gathering of Tushina's highest ranking military leaders. Overthrowing the few remaining loyalist members of the government, the newly minted Obsidian Order established the Tushian Empire and got to work securing the area around it for resources and security. Of the three xeno races that lived in that part of space, the Ko'Bold race was the only one deemed worthy of joining the fledgling empire who accepted the offer; The other two races had their atmospheres poisoned by Tushian bio-chemical weapons that lingered three weeks before clearing up, allowing military forces to land and wipe out the few remaining pockets of resistance that remained. With both species exterminated, their planets were colonized and the Tushian Empire secured its home system.

Other:
They currently only have a single system, but they are already making plans to expand and grow.
