Great Empire of CanzaThe Everlasting Future of CanzaDemonym: Canzanese
Species: Adarro
One of the highly critical features that assured their dominance over all the lifeforms in their home world is their tough, armor-like exoskeleton with a durability comparable to bronze. Brought on by the harsh, unforgiving environments of Maratigal, the competition for sentience that followed, and the introduction of copper and calcium in their diet along with non iron-dependent circulatory processes that allowed the mineral to be concentrated on the skin, the Adarro's shell ensured the advantage of survival while their brains gradually developed into sentience and continued forth. Known weak spots include the areas between the shoulder guards and the gauntlets, the area between the shoulder guard and the torso, the groin, and the neck. The Adarro has no use for clothing, since their unmentionables are hidden underneath a layer of retractable armor.
The Adarro typically stand at 6'11" tall, towering above most humans. On average, their lifespan averages 98 years, with 124 years being the typical long-liver. They are omnivorous, but leans more on meat diets. Puberty ends at the age of 24 years. This is considering no future medical intervention is used; the actual Adarro life expectancy lasts 240 years with such technology. Because of such a long lifespan, many coups have been attempted during the course of the Great Empire of Canza's history, although in the later ages of the Canza security measures and discipline have successfully kept the throne undisturbed.
Another sentient species exist within their homeworld, but they have been significantly incapacitated by the superior Adarro and has since been regarded as mere primitive barbarians.
GovernmentUnder the light of the Emperor, the Senate, and the PeopleThe Canzanese follows an autocratic reign under the full authority of the Emperor. While the selection of a ruler typically follows the patriarchal lineage system, most of the Emperor's children are adopted, and only a few Emperors were actually related by blood to their predecessors.
Other political entities exist to provide support on the Emperor's work and minimize effort and strain. Governors are assigned to each continent and perform management duties. The Zetariah Senate, composed of representatives from each country-sized provinces, formulate and suggest laws for the Emperor to approve, which he can be repeal at a later time if desired. Both parties also advise the Emperor on some matters, and their members can be removed from their seat due to incompetency, treason, reformation, among many others.
Emperors and heirs are well-trained and disciplined enough to steer away from tyranny. In fact, only a few despots have reigned over the course of the Canza's history, and their failures, their humiliation, and their demise at the hands of coups served as lessons to future rulers.
The Canza Empire is also divided into castes for organization, based on purpose and hierarchy:
Corator: Refers to the highest, most prestigious caste, consisting of all of the Emperor's family.
Valator: Consists of all the government heads, including the governors and the Zetariah. The Valator are well-respected, much like the Corator.
Tyritor: All military figures ranking higher than the Sergeant equivalent and has command duties belong here, and is respected most especially by the Fernitor.
Akadator: Considered as the brains of the Canzanese Empire, and does all the scientific work.
Yerator: Wealthy and respectable individuals that mostly qualify in the Plebitor caste, but has amassed wealth to gain notability.
Fernitor: The rest of the military of the Canzanese Empire, subordinates to the Tyritor.
Plebitor: The regular, common people of the Canza Empire, which ncludes industrial workers, farmers, traders, and mere household dwellers.
Disdetor: Criminals, barbarian species, and captured enemies, which are forced in either slave labor or imprisonment.
MilitaryThe Armed Forces of the Empire is basically summed up by the phrase "quality over quantity". While their military assets are meticulously designed, highly-graded and refined, consequentially their production and numbers suffer as a result. The Canza excels both in offensive and defensive capabilities, but is vulnerable in dealing with large amounts of enemies that are too excessive for the point-defense systems to handle and destructive AoEs that will either destroy a closely huddled fleet or force them to disperse. Because of this, the Canza is putting its focus into colonizing worlds abundant with resources, and is employing mass amounts of skilled Plebitor in their factories.
They have a large focus on projectile weapons, with explosives of any sort (nuclear, particle, conventional) embedded on the rounds to further ramp up firepower and occasionally piercing components to deliver internal strikes. Railguns, missiles, shells, and any other sorts are within this standard. They are commonly installed on heavy ground forces and combat spacecraft. Due to this, the Canza tends to possess advantages against armored units and most opponents overall, but tends to suffer when ammo supply becomes limited. Other weapons aren't neglected, however; at least quite many point-defense systems use laser weaponry and some forces use
experimental energy weapons (which are either unpredictable or unstable) at their preference.
In regards to armor, the Canza uses alternating layers of titanium, tungsten, and insulation, stacked over each other with short supporting rods and arranged similarly to the Walls of Babylon, with varying thicknesses per "wall" depending on terrain (Space generally requires more thickness than ground and infantry, which is about 4 inches individually to block meteors as well as attackers themselves. Ground units often do not require layer-group stacking.) and purpose (Some tend to be a whole meter thick. Generally, domestic spacecraft do not require stacking.). Research is currently underway to manufacture graphene as an armor product, which is still in its VERY early stages.
