Galaxy Aflame! A space opera RP

You bastard! lol

@Darkspleen

WE ALSO HAVE AN OOC AND FIFTEEN IC POSTS YOU'RE LATE!

Galaxy Aflame! A space opera RP

A quick update: I'll be working on getting the sheet skeleton and OCC up after lunch. I should have both ready to go in a few hours.

@Darkspleen

I beat you too it.

Civilization Sheet Guideline

---

(Civilization/Faction name goes here!)

---

General Information

Overview

(Introduce your civilization here in brief, preferably one or a few paragraphs. You can also have an info sheet here about your basic stats like population, government type and so on.)

Info Sheet Guide

You don't outright require to make these but they are fun so here's a good example.

Official Name: (The full and official name of your civilization)
Common Name: (How should we generally call your civ?)
Government: (Categorize the type of your government, Empire, Constitutional Monarchy, Parliamentary Democracy, etc)
Dominant Species: (What is your majority or at least ruling species in your civ?)
Capital: (Your homeworld or place of your ruling government, say: Earth, Solar System)
Systems Owned: (Optional, mostly there for smaller multi-stellar civs to give us an impression of their size)
Planets Owned: (Optional, has a similar role as the one above. Again, meaningless after a certain size.)
Population: (Kinda optional if you don't wish to think on big numbers, otherwise go ahead!)

History

(This is where you can tell us the tale of your glorious empire! History sections are neat to offer plot bunnies for other players to incorporate about your civ. On the other hand we aren't forcing anyone to make this extra detailed. Just write down what you find necessary here. Oh, and if you happen to write mini novels please put it inside hider tags to not bloat up the entire page. Thank you!)

Starmap Information

Galactic Location

(This is for the galaxy map with your location highlighted somehow. The galaxy is gigantic so even a small dot can mean a lot. Don't be discouraged by your size!)

Major Holdings

(This is kind of optional, you are given a chance to describe various places of interest. This can be a planet, star system or even entire star sector. Or even something else. Feel free to list them!)

Social Information

Demographics

(This is where you can describe the one or myriad of races inhabiting your glorious civilization. With multiple races you can also talk about demographics for real. What are your major races? Where do they live? And so on.)

Society

(Your unique civilization has unique society. What are the lives of your people be like? How are they thinking? Are there any social classes? Etc.)

Government

(Describe your government here in detail. If you use something generic or just feel like there isn't enough to say you can merge this with the Society section under "Government/Society" and describe both here.)

Technological Information

Technology Overview

(Describe your civilization's technology in general)

Major Techs

(Kinda optional section to describe your most important pieces of technology. If you think a simple overview above is enough, skip this.)

Industry

(Again, kinda optional. Do you wish to share with us how amazing your industry can be? This is the section for it! Major industrial methods, complexes and such can be also mentioned here.)

Military Information

Military Overview

(Describe your military in general. For a select few types of civs this might be alone enough.)

Space Forces

(Describe your space fleets in more detail. You can also list your important ship and other unit types but nobody is forcing you. But keep in mind, no Death Stars!)
Navy Doctrine: How does your navy operate in a general sense? What are the strategies and tactics commonly employed? What design philosophies are used and how are the affected by your country’s strategies. In short: what can we expect to see from your country’s navy? Bonus points if you give your doctrine a real name such as fleet-in-being.

Ground Forces

(Describe your ground forces, too. This is especially important in this RP since ground/planetary combat will enjoy a spotlight. So we do suggest you to take extra attention to this section.)

Ground Doctrine: How do your ground forces operate in a general sense? What are the strategies and tactics commonly employed? What design philosophies are used and how are the affected by your country’s strategies. In short: what can we expect to see from your country’s ground forces? Bonus points if you give your doctrine a real name such as human wave.

Credit goes to Willy for actually making the sheet outline for us, and for those of you who don't know, click raw and copy paste the bbcode into docs and type it in that way so it's already formatted when you post it in guild! Thank you.

Galaxy Aflame! A space opera RP

<Snipped quote by Willy Vereb>

We'll be setting up a discord later today (unfortunately a number of plans have been made on my behalf for the day so I suddenly am lacking on free time). The short version is we don't have any huge plots outlined beyond what Guld posted. If you aren't interested in joining that mess you are free to place yourself elsewhere in the galaxy. Sigma, Guld, and I will be located in the galactic north for your reference.

Many of the various species and countries have been aware of each other for quite a while. For instance both the Ithican Empire (me) and Aurolian Federation (Sigma) has large human populations and share some alien populations. Of course if you wish to play in a first contact setting I would recommend playing as on the outer rim.

A word on tech. I'm not going to limit what players can have unless it seems way unbalanced (so feel free to have psi-ops, mechs, etc, etc). The exception to this is I won't be allowing WMDs that can destroy planets or make them uninhabitable. We want epic ground battles to go along with our space battles.

Anything I missed?

@Darkspleen

Epic ground battles inbound!

Galaxy Aflame! A space opera RP

Interested, very very interested.

@Vecee

Was it my rendition of the interest check that sealed the deal?

Galaxy Aflame! A space opera RP

For those who claimed the Interest Check was a little... undercooked:

Welcome to Galaxy Aflame! Here we have a prety large and spacious galaxy full of story and adventure, but let's get to the specifics. There are currently three known civilizations (since you guys have yet to make any [not your fault, there are no sheets :O].) One civilization that I will call the Feds (Sigma), one I will call the Empire (Spoon) and one I will call the Daisan Order, or Order (myself).

So for many generations there had been rumors of entire civilizations disappearing in the outer rim of the galaxy, the causes were attributed to legends of internal strife, civil wars, and classic hubris... but what we of the shallow space didn't know was that none of that was true. Many years ago a species set off to protect their own chance of survival and turned on their political allies and friends, their war machines revved and factories were erected. Soon a massive droid army took over all neighboring systems, with each planet being cored to build even more war machines or colonized through intense terraforming, indigenous species were annihilated. Entire systems and civilizations have been stripped and cored, or blasted to such a degree they are unrecognizable. Dead planets began popping up, and crazy contraptions began to spread from the rim... and we had no idea.. until five years ago.

On an Urban planet owned by the feds, a quiet summer morning heralded a event that would shake the galaxy. As people commuted to work, hollered out their goods, and talked with their friends and family, the Deep space menace came without warning. A massive metallic spike ripped through the atmosphere, scarring the plumb morning sky with streaks of fire. As it crashed into the urban center a massive explosion erupted and soon more spikes plummeted from space, pounding the planet. Those that survived the impacts soon realized that these spikes were factories, and they had already begun pumping out terrifying droids of horror and battle, the planet was quickly conquered. Only after the fall of a few more planets in a similar fashion did the Feds get a name for their antagonist: The Daisan Order... the label clearly printed on the breastplate of a destroyed battle droid.

Quickly the Empire sprung into action, with it's impressive armada and massive military backing the feds the two managed to hold off the massive droid hordes. For five years the two civilizations slowed the process of the Order, but now civil war has broken out in the Empire: will this be the final push the Daisan order needed to secure it's place in Total Domination, or will other civilizations rise to meet the challenge of a foe so dangerous and so mysterious, we don't even know what they look like?

Other Gm's correct me if I'm wrong.

@empress further information.

Please keep in mind this is solely the Daisan Order short lore. There is more to be said about the Glorious Empire and the Stout Federation.

Galaxy Aflame! A space opera RP

Okay fellas. I have some galaxy history for you all regarding the three current civilizations present. I'll get it to you all in a little bit but the synopsis is a mysterious alien race from deep space that uses a massive droid army to conquer the galaxy has made contact with some major civilizations of our part of the galaxy through silent and surprise warfare. Also some civil wars in the defending empires!

Galaxy Aflame! A space opera RP

I'll keep an eye on this.

@FrostedCaramel

Just watch out for those wrist rockets.

Fear the unstoppable march of my droid army.
