Will not be using Caelrulmoste this time around. Perhaps a revamped Andromache.
For the purposes of claim determination only, could you give me a general idea as to which direction the Einherjar will be coming from? Assuming they are not going to fall from the sky, boil up from the Earth, converge from every directional simultaneously, or erupt from our navels.
OOC says from the east, but in the last Silver legion it was the east and the western shores.
…. Five years ago the Daisan came to the Federation door step. Days prior to the surprise attack on the Urban Planet Anaria, word reached the fringe colonies of more mysterious activity in the deep space rim worlds; between governments collapsing and general panic, the center galaxy civilizations could only guess intense internal struggles, but little did they know.
Two days after the Anaria Star-Wide Gazette published their theory on the general unrest of the rim worlds a peculiar slipspace rupture was reported. In a matter of minutes a massive fleet appeared around the planet and launched massive factory spikes into the atmosphere, the fleet escort destroying any chance of space resistance. The spikes landed with such explosive power the touchdowns destroyed entire urban sprawls.
Quickly floods of battle droids exited the spikes and began to clean the planet of sentient life, construction and salvage droids quickly following. After the short battle of Anaria, little knew what happened next, the only escaping frigate barely able to give a believable report to the next Federal system over.
Soon more battles broke out between this unknown menace and the Federation, and soon the name “The Daisan Order” was leaked from military personnel despite never actually finding organic life behind the droids, with only subtle clues to makers and pilots.
Five years have since passed and only the combined might of the Empire and the Federation managed to slow down the progression of the Deep Space Menace, but where resistance was weak, they quickly washed over, leaving only completely cored planets and harvested suns in their wake, hives of space fighters and factories, and even strangely colonized planets. Demonstration of the assault on Anaria
You don't outright require to make these but they are fun so here's a good example.
Official Name: The Daisan Order Common Name: The Daisan, The Order Government: It unknown what sort of Government the Daisan even follow. Dominant Species: There are only hints of a organic dominant species: The Daisan Capital: It is assumed the Daisan have a capital to conduct such extensive conquests from: The Daisan Home System Systems Owned: From a sprawling territory in deep space to a growing territory in known space, the Daisan ownership is ever growing.
History
For hundreds of years the Daisan have been at their interstellar conquest. Five years ago they finally reached us, and their momentum is unbearable.

Social Information
Demographics
Mood music Social findings about the droids armies of the Daisan, as recorded by Federal Researchers and Combat reporters:
“Interestingly enough, some of the Daisan droids exhibit social behaviors such as verbal communication, laughing, and to some extent comradeship (depending on the model). We aren’t too sure why they do any of these things, since we have salvaged wireless transmitters from the droids, showing they are capable of relaying suggestions to other droids. One theory is they have learned communication skills to be able to conduct dialogue with organic or verbal speaking life forms; however, there is no recorded incident where a Daisan droid has attempted to communicate with a non Daisan construct.”
Society
Regards to a possible Daisan Society, as recorded by a Federal Professor.
“...It would seem possible for the Daisan to have or have had a society. Their droids clearly have a hierarchy, meaning their creators knew of at least primitive social constructs. The fact that the models are split into roles, and have different functions shows the ability to delegate and use tools. Whether or not the Creator Daisan still exist or not, there should be no question that they had formed a complex society of hierarchies, departments, and understood job delegation and efficiency.
I will admit it is hard to paint a picture of a homeworld Daisan’s life when all we have to go on is the obvious highly controlled military present. Whether or not home-life would be as rigorous as their military represents is definitely a question not easily answered.
However, I can propose a few theories on the creator Daisan’s absence: either they are dead, and the machines on autopilot, or they are alive and avoiding contact.”
Additional conclusions from Federal Professor.
“...in regards to IS there even a creator Daisan figure, I say yes. I do not believe these droids came upon themselves. Evidence suggesting a creator is evident in a few key areas which I will now demonstrate.
Found usually in larger invasion vehicles or starships, are ‘inserts’. These are potential cockpits or control centers, made uniformly seven feet tall and four to five feet wide, the all have four large holes in the back wall each four inches in diameter and six one diameter holes near the base in two groups of threes. Sensitive technology is found all along the walls of these holes and stretch about four feet back into the vehicle up top and a foot in the smaller holes. In in the front wall of these inserts are numerous potential displays and valves of all sorts, some oddly connected to the exhaust directly.
Oddly enough there is biomatter found on vehicles with inserts as well as in the air samples produced by the factory spikes (may the brave souls who collected these vital samples forever be remembered), it appears to be a bacteria unknown to our logs. While we are hesitant to allow someone full contact with these microorganisms in a control setting, some of our soldiers have come back from battles with the bacteria on their uniform or in their own system. Symptoms of infection vary but on the common human, the body tends to treat it almost like pollen, making pollen sensitive individuals cough or sneeze, but without any interior detriment to the body. Some species show no reaction to the relatively benign bacteria, but those with less developed or differently developed immune systems have in some occasions come down with common cold like symptoms but are easily treated with antibiotics. The bacteria itself can be described as similar to cynobacteria, yet heftier and airborne with the added ability to ‘gunk up’ rather quickly. The gravity of this discovery means that even if the Daisan Creators are not present, there is an organic lifeform being transported and cultured alongside the droid army, leading me to believe it is being done purposely, but for what purpose is only speculation. This evidence none the less leads most to believe in an organic run home-world.
Another piece of evidence is the verbal and written language present, used by the droids and machines, but what makes this important is that we are aware that new models of droids are currently still being produced and ever changing (evidence in itself), all with the ability to use this language, which leads me to believe that the master race is still alive and well, that or the droids have really taken to the elusive creator language of the Daisan.
Nonetheless, the search for the creator Daisan continues, and with only the images of the droids to assume their physiology, we have yet to know who we are indeed fighting, if anyone.”

Technological Information
Technology Overview
(Describe your civilization's technology in general)
Major Techs
: The CDB is also known as a disintegrator ray by the Federation forces, and is sometimes deployed on specialized Daisan floaters (often paired with energy bubbles) or in larger installations on vehicles and tripods. The beam is known to disrupt, destabilize and destroy chemical bonds in fractions of a second on impact, usually leaving no sign of impact other than heat scarring and scorching on the peripherals of the impact, or carbon dust on carbon based organics.
The Droids themselves all have installed protocols and access to a wireless communication link (of various levels: local, system, inter system, depending). Each protocol varies on the droid, its job and the model, but all are protected by internal systems active both when the droid is activated and when the droid is deactivated or in hibernation. Upon tampering with the droid without authorization, the droid’s Internal Protocol will either destroy all the internal hardware and software, or outright self destruct (depending on the Droid). Depending on the droid these safety protocols have more than one transponding location to maximize internal safety in case a part is severed in battle and later retrieved.
Should a droid be kept intact through quick action and forethought, the communicator and other internal functions can be manipulated, and other safety protocols will be taken into effect. It has been made clear that even through a manipulated communicator, other Daisan droids are aware that the signal is not coming from a Daisan, but a tampered communicator, probably due to coding, identification or fluxes from the tampered droid, the shutdown Internal Protocol, variance of droid ranks, location, and even perhaps due to a recognition software we are unaware of.

Military Information
Military Overview
(Describe your military in general. For a select few types of civs this might be alone enough.)
Space Forces
The Daisan Fighter droid is an extremely adaptable killing machine that has brought fear to many pilots, both civilian and military. The spiny, oblong almost eldritch ship is not only an intimidating sight, but possesses the hardware to back up the visage. The entire starfighter is encased in a classic Daisan energy bubble, fitted to flow with the shape of the ship itself to maximise efficiency. Hidden among the many forward facing spines are quick shooting plasma railguns meant for quick and close dogfighting and to put stress on heavy shields. Inside the nest of spikes specialized torpedoes are housed, usually ionic to help disrupt shields or cause interior damage to enemy vehicles. Running on four sides of the ship are powerful (yet fitted for small fighter craft) CDB guns meant for finishing off enemies, or clearing them before they become a problem.
Interestingly enough, there are two plasma railguns situated on the top and bottom of the ship, usually facing the rear (but able to swivel), to aid in dogfights. This loadout is often noted as to be “heavy.” The lighter, speedier version of the Daisan Fighter droid tends to forgo the CDB arrangements for further power to the engines and thus tend to be skinnier and harder to hit. Other models focus on large torpedo arrays, shield disrupting weapons, atmospheric invasions, or even attracting and tanking enemy weapons,
The largest advantage of the Daisan Fighter Droid is its amazing adaptation ability, paired with the quick work of the Daisan, making the next load out as surprising as the first encounter, every time.
Ground Forces
The Base Model Soldier Droid of the Daisan army is affectionately called “Clankers” by the Imperial and the Federal armies. The droid stands around six feet tall and are humanoid in shape, except for their kite shield shaped heads and strange ankles. These are the most common seen soldier and the most readily modified. Capable of improvisation and some thought, they are able to form strategies and adapt to battlefield conditions.
Unmodified, they have a empty slot on their back, and are usually seen carrying the standard Daisan Battle Rifle, ion grenades, plasma grenades, and a side arm (usually a pistol). Some usual modifications take the form of long range assassins, pilots, anti-vehicle, commando, engineer, and all other sorts of mix and matched equipment sets.
They are made out of a blast and space resistant metal, and have heavily protected wiring and power cores, resistant to EMP’s and the anomalies of space. Their limbs and joints allow them greater strength for carrying and overpowering in hand to hand combat. In short the base model soldier is a very modifiable and adaptable droid, capable of taking on many different faces.
Earning the Federal nickname “Reapers”, the Destroyer Droid is a chilling sight on the battlefield. These strange droids have three phases, movement, deploy, and attack. In the movement stage the droid is tucked into a oblong sphere, capable of fast speeds while rolling to its target. As soon as the target is found or it enters range it deploys itself, unfolding from the ball shape into a three legged crab like droid with two “arms” ending in powerful dual blasters. As they begin their onslaught, a personal shield generator is activated and covers them in a protective bubble, capable of taking intense punishment before being oversaturated and being forced into cool down.
Many engagements end when Reapers roll onto the battlefield, bubble up, and begin their devastating assaults. Some variants have even more blasters and weapons attached to them, or have slightly altered shields to protect more against certain ballistics or other factors.
During the initial engagements with the Empire, the Daisan droids must have carefully catalogued any defeats by the famous plasma sword wielding knights of the Imperials, because soon after came a product of their own to counter such attacks.
The Daisan Melee Droid, or “Myrmidon” as the Imperials so heartfully nicknamed it, is a unique droid in all its own. While similar in shape to the Base Soldier Droid, these tend to be thicker in limbs, and capable of a form fitting energy shield to specifically deflect superheat and plasma. Also to note is that they have four tendrils sprouting from their backs similar to pilot droids, although the reason for this isn’t completely known; however, Melee Droids have been found to pilot vehicles and of complex thinking and strategy planning.
They themselves wield an assortment of different weapons, but the most common is a blatant rip off of the Imperial plasma sword, with a Daisan twist added to its aesthetic. Another notable weapon are super heated dual whips formed out of scorching and almost rope like plasma. Some have even been seen carrying hard light shields to face the Imperial sword wielders. With it being such a new model, we aren’t sure we have seen everything this droid has to offer, unfortunately.
The Daisan Floater Droid (Also known as “Swarmers” by the Feds) is one of the easily most overlooked droid by new recruits, and most looked out for Droid by hardened veterans.
These spheres float around at extremely fast speeds and their sole purpose is recon and to calculate shots to exterminate the enemy, which they happen to be very good at. Being small in size, around a foot to a foot and a half in diameter, these little fuckers are not only annoying and difficult to hit from a distance, but have no qualms in blasting your comrades in fast moving swarms or being sent as tiny assassins.
Most have decent blast armor, and the most deadly have energy bubbles, but all hurt, and all shoot and in the worst cases are equipped with a self destruct protocol.
The soldier turned the corner, immediately raising his rifle. Nothing. He let out a shallow breath of relief. A gloved hand patted his shoulder from behind.
"It's okay rookie," the gruff voice betrayed the ever familiar accent of the Federation. The two stood point, ten men behind, and the dark shell of a bombed out apartment complex in front. As the rest of the soldiers scurried in, the group continued as a spear head through the first floor of the complex.
The ripped up floor tiles scattered under the boots of the commandos, and their footwork avoided fallen lights, glass, and other obstructions. The distinct taste of iron hung in the air, but on a planet that has been passed between the Daisan and the Federation for two years, that smell is nothing new.
"Fuck." a soldier cursed under his breath, unable to comprehend the gorey stains and human shaped shadows on the walls as they walked by. There was a clatter and everything fell silent. The troops stomachs tightened as they held their breaths, guns swinging back and forth.
Switching on his nozzle flashlight the captain of the group aimed his rifle down at a rolling candle stick. Ritzy.
His eyes focused, something was strange. Something didn't feel right. Suddenly the darkness before him glitched like it was a reflection in a pond that someone had tossed a rock into.
The captain squinted and seven more glitches appeared out of the corner of his eyes. There was a soft clicking.
"DAISAN!" Someone yelled and suddenly the room filled with the sound of assault rifles blaring. There was a loud thunderous clap and a storm of plasma ropes erupted from the darkness.
The rifles stopped. Body parts richoteted off the walls and bodies crumpled to the floor.
"SheeeyyykSheeeeeeyyykSheeeeeeeykSheeeyk"
An automated voice laughed as seven heavily armored droids appeared out of thin air, tendrils of pure plasma waving from their backs, and four mechanical arms holding an assortment of weapons.

The Elite Soldier Droid, otherwise known as “Ghosts” by the Federation is a relatively new droid, built upon the Melee droids and the Commando droids of the base soldier model.
A republic ruled by a chancellor this republic may not have many systems under its name but it has hard working citizens.From humans to aliens the republic welcomes any sort of race known or unknown they are willing to trade with others and they are always looking for new allies.The military force of Oshela is fair.The republic has mid-priced starships due to lack of funds but the military force of Oshela can take on threats easily due to the strict trainings.
You don't outright require to make these but they are fun so here's a good example.
Official Name: The Great Republic of Oshela Common Name: Oshela Republic Government: Parliamentary Democracy Dominant Species: Humans Capital: Oshela Prime, Makari System Population: more than 10.000.000.000
History
Federation citizens left their homes to find a new place to live in.They found the Makari System they found a planet suitable enough it had potential the planet was so big that they can dig deep to make way for more homes.People who lived there made a small government 'Makari People' which traded many goods with traders coming from other systems it was peaceful.But sometimes peace is temporary
Civil war begun! Two groups the government and a full scale rebellion went to war...... It lasted for 11 months until one day a man named 'Dave Oshela' promised to bring peace he hosted a treaty on 'Makari Prime' later aliens named 'Vir'lak" appeared Dave got the idea to make a republic a government of peace...To be continued

In a matter of minutes a massive fleet appeared around the planet and launched massive factory spikes into the atmosphere, the fleet escort destroying any chance of space resistance. The spikes landed with such explosive power the touchdowns destroyed entire urban sprawls.
Quickly floods of battle droids exited the spikes and began to clean the planet of sentient life, construction and salvage droids quickly following. After the short battle of Anaria, little knew what happened next, the only escaping frigate barely able to give a believable report to the next Federal system over.
Soon more battles broke out between this unknown menace and the Federation, and soon the name “The Daisan Order” was leaked from military personnel despite never actually finding organic life behind the droids, with only subtle clues to makers and pilots.
Five years have since passed and only the combined might of the Empire and the Federation managed to slow down the progression of the Deep Space Menace, but where resistance was weak, they quickly washed over, leaving only completely cored planets and harvested suns in their wake, hives of space fighters and factories, and even strangely colonized planets. Demonstration of the assault on Anaria
You don't outright require to make these but they are fun so here's a good example.
Official Name: The Daisan Order Common Name: The Daisan, The Order Government: It unknown what sort of Government the Daisan even follow. Dominant Species: There are only hints of a organic dominant species: The Daisan Capital: It is assumed the Daisan have a capital to conduct such extensive conquests from: The Daisan Home System Systems Owned: From a sprawling territory in deep space to a growing territory in known space, the Daisan ownership is ever growing.
History
For hundreds of years the Daisan have been at their interstellar conquest. Five years ago they finally reached us, and their momentum is unbearable.

Social Information
Demographics
Mood music Social findings about the droids armies of the Daisan, as recorded by Federal Researchers and Combat reporters:
“Interestingly enough, some of the Daisan droids exhibit social behaviors such as verbal communication, laughing, and to some extent comradeship (depending on the model). We aren’t too sure why they do any of these things, since we have salvaged wireless transmitters from the droids, showing they are capable of relaying suggestions to other droids. One theory is they have learned communication skills to be able to conduct dialogue with organic or verbal speaking life forms; however, there is no recorded incident where a Daisan droid has attempted to communicate with a non Daisan construct.”
Society
Regards to a possible Daisan Society, as recorded by a Federal Professor.
“...It would seem possible for the Daisan to have or have had a society. Their droids clearly have a hierarchy, meaning their creators knew of at least primitive social constructs. The fact that the models are split into roles, and have different functions shows the ability to delegate and use tools. Whether or not the Creator Daisan still exist or not, there should be no question that they had formed a complex society of hierarchies, departments, and understood job delegation and efficiency.
I will admit it is hard to paint a picture of a homeworld Daisan’s life when all we have to go on is the obvious highly controlled military present. Whether or not home-life would be as rigorous as their military represents is definitely a question not easily answered.
However, I can propose a few theories on the creator Daisan’s absence: either they are dead, and the machines on autopilot, or they are alive and avoiding contact.”
Additional conclusions from Federal Professor.
“...in regards to IS there even a creator Daisan figure, I say yes. I do not believe these droids came upon themselves. Evidence suggesting a creator is evident in a few key areas which I will now demonstrate.
Found usually in larger invasion vehicles or starships, are ‘inserts’. These are potential cockpits or control centers, made uniformly seven feet tall and four to five feet wide, the all have four large holes in the back wall each four inches in diameter and six one diameter holes near the base in two groups of threes. Sensitive technology is found all along the walls of these holes and stretch about four feet back into the vehicle up top and a foot in the smaller holes. In in the front wall of these inserts are numerous potential displays and valves of all sorts, some oddly connected to the exhaust directly.
Oddly enough there is biomatter found on vehicles with inserts as well as in the air samples produced by the factory spikes (may the brave souls who collected these vital samples forever be remembered), it appears to be a bacteria unknown to our logs. While we are hesitant to allow someone full contact with these microorganisms in a control setting, some of our soldiers have come back from battles with the bacteria on their uniform or in their own system. Symptoms of infection vary but on the common human, the body tends to treat it almost like pollen, making pollen sensitive individuals cough or sneeze, but without any interior detriment to the body. Some species show no reaction to the relatively benign bacteria, but those with less developed or differently developed immune systems have in some occasions come down with common cold like symptoms but are easily treated with antibiotics. The gravity of this discovery means that even if the Daisan Creators are not present, there is an organic lifeform being transported and cultured alongside the droid army, leading me to believe it is being done purposely, but for what purpose is only speculation. This evidence none the less leads most to believe in an organic run home-world.
Another piece of evidence is the verbal and written language present, used by the droids and machines, but what makes this important is that we are aware that new models of droids are currently still being produced and ever changing (evidence in itself), all with the ability to use this language, which leads me to believe that the master race is still alive and well, that or the droids have really taken to the elusive creator language of the Daisan.
Nonetheless, the search for the creator Daisan continues, and with only the images of the droids to assume their physiology, we have yet to know who we are indeed fighting, if anyone.”
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.)

Major Techs
Chemical Decomposition Beam: The CDB is also known as a disintegrator ray by the Federation forces, and is sometimes deployed on specialized Daisan floaters (often paired with energy bubbles) or in larger installations on vehicles and tripods. The beam is known to disrupt, destabilize and destroy chemical bonds in fractions of a second on impact, usually leaving no sign of impact other than heat scarring and scorching on the peripherals of the impact, or carbon dust on carbon based organics.

Ground Forces
The Base Model Soldier Droid of the Daisan army is affectionately called “Clankers” by the Imperial and the Federal armies. The droid stands around six feet tall and are humanoid in shape, except for their kite shield shaped heads and strange ankles. These are the most common seen soldier and the most readily modified. Capable of improvisation and some thought, they are able to form strategies and adapt to battlefield conditions.
Unmodified, they have a empty slot on their back, and are usually seen carrying the standard Daisan Battle Rifle, ion grenades, plasma grenades, and a side arm (usually a pistol). Some usual modifications take the form of long range assassins, pilots, anti-vehicle, commando, engineer, and all other sorts of mix and matched equipment sets.
They are made out of a blast and space resistant metal, and have heavily protected wiring and power cores, resistant to EMP’s and the anomalies of space. Their limbs and joints allow them greater strength for carrying and overpowering in hand to hand combat. In short the base model soldier is a very modifiable and adaptable droid, capable of taking on many different faces.
Earning the Federal nickname “Reapers”, the Destroyer Droid is a chilling sight on the battlefield. These strange droids have three phases, movement, deploy, and attack. In the movement stage the droid is tucked into a oblong sphere, capable of fast speeds while rolling to its target. As soon as the target is found or it enters range it deploys itself, unfolding from the ball shape into a three legged crab like droid with two “arms” ending in powerful dual blasters. As they begin their onslaught, a personal shield generator is activated and covers them in a protective bubble, capable of taking intense punishment before being oversaturated and being forced into cool down.
Many engagements end when Reapers roll onto the battlefield, bubble up, and begin their devastating assaults. Some variants have even more blasters and weapons attached to them, or have slightly altered shields to protect more against certain ballistics or other factors.
During the initial engagements with the Empire, the Daisan droids must have carefully catalogued any defeats by the famous plasma sword wielding knights of the Imperials, because soon after came a product of their own to counter such attacks.
The Daisan Melee Droid, or “Myrmidon” as the Imperials so heartfully nicknamed it, is a unique droid in all its own. While similar in shape to the Base Soldier Droid, these tend to be thicker in limbs, and capable of a form fitting energy shield to specifically deflect superheat and plasma. Also to note is that they have four tendrils sprouting from their backs similar to pilot droids, although the reason for this isn’t completely known; however, Melee Droids have been found to pilot vehicles and of complex thinking and strategy planning.
They themselves wield an assortment of different weapons, but the most common is a blatant rip off of the Imperial plasma sword, with a Daisan twist added to its aesthetic. Another notable weapon are super heated dual whips formed out of scorching and almost rope like plasma. Some have even been seen carrying hard light shields to face the Imperial sword wielders. With it being such a new model, we aren’t sure we have seen everything this droid has to offer, unfortunately.
The Daisan Floater Droid (Also known as “Swarmers” by the Feds) is one of the easily most overlooked droid by new recruits, and most looked out for Droid by hardened veterans.
These spheres float around at extremely fast speeds and their sole purpose is recon and to calculate shots to exterminate the enemy, which they happen to be very good at. Being small in size, around a foot to a foot and a half in diameter, these little fuckers are not only annoying and difficult to hit from a distance, but have no qualms in blasting your comrades in fast moving swarms or being sent as tiny assassins.
Most have decent blast armor, and the most deadly have energy bubbles, but all hurt, and all shoot and in the worst cases are equipped with a self destruct protocol.

Where did I play,
A land of twisted branches,
A kingdom of clay,
A swamp of memories,
A never-ending day,
Where did I run,
Across the dawn,
Through the sun,
Across the sky,
Through laughs and fun,
Where did I walk,
Pristine grass green,
White cliffs of chalk,
Pools of sky so blue,
Orchard stones that talk,
Where did I sit,
By the gates of silver,
Near endless pit,
By forever horizon,
You may remember it.[/center]
