Normally, I'd say "I have too many RPs I'm going to be in," but I see you're only asking for posts twice a month. I can do twice a month...
...
Is it allowed for a player to create an explorer sheet but NOT an Empire sheet? I have a species I was gonna use in a different roleplay once upon a time, but that RP died before it started. These would be... Erm...
My species would be computer programs. They'd literally be computer programs flying a small fleet of ships through space, probably all that's left of their species.
The X'Cor own more than twenty-seven star systems under their control with over double that in planets that they have taken control of, either by colonization or by hostile acts. No other advanced species in their empire, only primitives who have suffered at their wrath. However, the primitives in their nation are kept under a strict control. No species from an outsider civilization is allowed to be a part of the X'Cor population, unless they are slaves.
There are over 123.12 billion documented X'Cor within the empire, the population is greatly increasing with the more planets that they conquer. However, they are required to keep document of how many slaves make up their total population, though they only do this in percentages.
Total Population- 162 billion X'Cor - 76% Miscellaneous Slave population - 24%
Species:
The X'Cor are not bipedal humanoids. They are quadruped beings with six separate limbs, four of which are for walking while the other two are hands. The X'Cor have two front facing eyes to signify their predatory ways, also if the rows of sharp teeth didn't give that away. The mouths of these beasts open vertically to reveal, as previously stated, rows upon rows of sharpened teeth. The outer bodies of these creatures is a hard exoskeleton, the face, neck, and stomach being the only unprotected portions of their bodies. The average height for a X'Cor is about 183 cm, just about six feet in height.
Now, it is time to study the insides of these horrific beasts. The X'Cor have purple colored blood, over nine liters worth, though they only require one-fourth that amount to carry oxygen to the cells effectively. The X'Cor have a lack of lungs meaning that they absorb oxygen straight out of the air like an insect does. However, they have a standard digestive system except it can digest nearly everything that is organic, including bone. The X'Cor have five seperate adrenal glands that activate when pain, thus allowing them to tank through pain and not feel anything. If anything, shooting them only pisses them off.
The X'Cor are not an extraordinarily strong species, however they are a fast one that can clock up to 40 kilometers an hour. They can keep at this pace for quite a while, two whole hours in fact. They have a high metabolism, giving them a thinner appearance than most species and they only weigh around 135 lbs. due to the suction cups on their front feet, they can climb up many different surfaces so long as they are not completely smooth.
The X'Cor are born from soft eggs comparative to the size of ostrich eggs, typically payed in a cluster of two to five. From there they lead a developmental period, called a "childhood", of around 12 years before they reach maturity. These beasts lead lives up to sixty years with rare cases of ones that have lived up to one-hundred years.
System of Government:
The X'Cor Empire is lead by a singular ruler who holds absolute power over all matters, a despotism of you will. The process for the Emporer or Empress to come to power is quite simple in the eyes of the X'Cor. Open up the military records, find the person with the highest amount of kills, that person is now your soveriegn ruler. This rule will rule so long as they live and may change laws accordingly, the military does hold power to destroy the Emporer if he goes mad with power.
For individual planets, a governor is to be elected and that governor enforces the Emporer's laws and gathers taxes, and materials, for the government. The governor may only be X'Cor as they are the superior race, slaves shall be treated as such. The governors may not change laws of the government, however, they may add new local laws so long as they do not take away rights from the X'Cor citizens or slaves.
Slaves may be treated as slaves, but they are still sentient beings and may retain essential rights as people. They may not serve in the military as they have proven to be weak for the military. Slaves may not serve as governors for their government has collapse to the X'Cor and thus hold a weak government. Slaves may be trades from master to master, this is a typical thing within the X'Cor society.
Yearly, the governors will meet with the Emporer and give them half of the taxes and materials that have been collected. A governor will be executed should he not give anything to the Emporer. The governmental body shall then discuss any issues that are being faces nation wide. They shall come up with solutions and then enact those solutions to see if it worked.
History:
The X'Cor, honorable people who have not always resorted to violence to solve their problems. People who were simply curious on what the stars had to offer to them if they could ever get a man onto another planet. Though, they were sorely divided amongst themselves by political means and the nationality of the many nations that cultivated their home world, a small planet primarily consisting of dense jungles. It was one where single battles solved conflict, singular heroes who dueled amongst one another to solve the fates of Empires, Republics, and so on. They were like most other primitive planets for their times, divided and unable to truly unite.
Then, the 'Uplifting War' had begun.
The year was 2103, a race of apish war monks had set upon them in advanced ships from space. It was a travesty that they set upon the cities and began murdering innocent people, a travesty that they did not follow a code of honour, a travesty they angered the X'Cor species in its entirety. The X'Cor set upon their new foes, now unified against one common foe. Having knowledge for their own terrain better than anyone else, the X'Cor ambushed any who dared set foot on their land. They used speed and brutality to win the days, merciless were the X'Cor, cold were their swords. By 2105, the foes were driven back to their planets in other star systems thinking they were safe from attack.
They were not safe. The X'Cor had begun to reverse engineer all the tech that they could, studying, brooding, wanting vengeance. They would see that vengeance come to light in the year of 2106 when they made their first interstellar ships, though, something was wrong. They were divided once more, all going into an arms race. Thus, someone rose and displayed that they should unite once more to fight their new foes and instead become one nation instead of many. The people reluctantly agreed and proceeded to crown their first Emperor, Sek'Liz.
It was the formation of a power who would forever feed off war, a power who simply wanted vengeance for what heresy had been done to them. They took to the stars to find who had wronged them, yet, they had found no one to meet in battle. The star charts they had collected from the war were all wrong, their enemy had seemed to vanish from existence. Nevertheless, the X'Cor assumed that any alien around them worked with these enemies, so they did what they had to.
The X'Cor led a massive invasion fleet to meet the species who would become their first slaves, their names now forgotten by the X'Cor. It was a race of lizards, ones who used their front appendages as legs and their hind legs as hands. They proved not to be their adversary, though, something had changed with the X'Cor when they began their invasion. A vile disease was spreading through their ranks, a disease that still lives with them today, their imperialistic nature. In a twist of cruel irony, the X'Cor had become those who they wished to destroy. They had become conquerors, villains, murderers.
It was not by 2165 when their culture had changed from one of honour to one of evil expansionism. They had conquered two other species during this time, giving them an ample surplus of slaves to help in manual labor, occasional meals, or worse. The X'Cor proceeded to meet one last race before their expansion would have to come to a screeching halt. It was a peaceful race, on that wished harm on no one.
The Namilee.
These aquatic people were the only people who did not fight back against the X'Cor invasion fleet, the only people who refused to fight. It did not help that they simply did not know what war was before the X'Cor came, a tragedy. When the force came, many Namilee were taken captive and many more were killed, simply because they were useless. Though, the newly gotten slaves were also useless, they were labelled as a weak race in the eyes of X'Cor. Weaker than normal, that is.
However, the Namilee were not who they seemed when they destroyed their own planet. In a way, that gained respect from the X'Cor as the Namilee did not seem to surrender to X'Cor wrath. Now they hunt that wretched mothership that managed to escape, twenty thousand had gotten away. Though, the fleet had been decimated. The debris from the planet had destroyed hundreds of ships and killed thousands of crew, this angered the X'Cor.
With their war fleet decimated, the populous of a peaceful race having been attacked for no reason, the slaves began to rebel against their masters. Thus, a new war began, the 'Rebellion War'.
The Rebellion War ended as quickly as it started, the X'Cor fleet being mass produced to deal with the insurrection. However, the Emporer had died during the war. So rose a new Empress, Ssirek. She follows in the previous leader's footsteps and swears to find those who got away and caused rebellion.
The Empire was on a war path.
Culture:
The X'Cor live within a high warrior culture where the warriors are always treated as heroes no matter what is to happen in a war. These warriors are plentiful in number and they always are given the proper treatment, treated like royalty. Thus, the Warriors must keep up appearances and so they must always where their armor. Each warrior is, however, treated differently as those with more kills in combat have more renown to their names. To retreat is to lose all honour, to surrender is to become a slave to the enemy. Honour must be maintained.
Honour is a very important part of their culture and it comes within verging levels. The Emporer has the most honour, followed by the generals, then the Warriors, the average citizens, and finally the slaves. The only way to get out of the ranking is by becoming a warrior and showing your might as a person of the military. It may spell certain death for those who do not belong. Plus, slaves are not permitted from leaving their honour rank.
Averge life at home, the man holds the pants in the relationship and same sex marriage is typically frowned upon, but legal. Typical men will be seen with having two wives and no more, otherwise things would get complicated within the society. Children are to be had within moderation as parents may only have as many children as they can afford. If more children are to be had then those children are to be sent to military academies and learn.
Education in the society is seen as the most important part of their society. All children must have it and it is organized into elementary school, middle school, high school, and university. No matter what, children must go to this or they will be a burden on society and become slaves. Thus, they will have no future or honour for others to truly care about them otherwise.
The X'Cor worship no religion, they believe in no gods, they do believe that they are superior to all other races. All other races are inferior and are to be treated as slaves once they have been conquered. However, if they show their might in battle then they are to be treated as Warriors and dealt with as such. They will not be honoured as they are of another species, however, they are still Warriors.
The general arts are not a common thing for a X'Cor to associate themselves in, yet it is not too uncommon that nothing attributes to creativity. However, much of their culture is simply derived from war and thus has inspired much of how the arts go. There are few paintings that depict peace, few stories where slaughter isn't a there, few songs that are not war song. Everything revolves around war.
Important people, places, and organizations: Sserik - The current Empress of the X'Cor empire. Has led a brutal war in Slave Rebellion.
Oin - Captain of the Raged Empress. Explorer
Delzar Designs - Head of Shipbuilding and international security of the nation.
Military size: There are over 18.468 billion soldiers within the Empire's armies.
The fleet in total has 6 command ships and 60 cruisers.
Military details:
The military, while slightly lacking in the naval department, is a powerhouse in infantry and vehicular warfare on the ground level. This means that they fight well on the ground, but are not the best back wise. Their Warriors are put under intense regular training, then it is coupled with even more training should the soldier's position require it. They rely heavily on ranged combat, they rely even more on gaining the surprise on their enemies as they use their speed to their advantage in more situations.
As far as organization goes within the military, the soldiers are seperated into several different platoons, containing 30,000 - 50,000, with each having a specialization that it fills. Inside those platoons are regiments that contain 10,000 men. Then, those regiments are formed from legions containing 5,000 men. Finally the legion are comprised of squads containing 10 men, meaning that there are 500 squads within a regiment.
Leadership of the military ultimately goes to the Emporer when strategic plots are required. His orders are sent to the Generals, which go to their legions, etc. the command-structure is fairly easy to follow as the leaders all know where their orders come from, the Emporer. Though, the generals are encouraged to make executive decisions on their own.
Weapons tech: The X'Cor largely used magnetic weaponry in their military, infantry and naval wise, often times it ends up to be railguns for the ships. Meanwhile infantry use coilguns in their fights, having mastered this technology to make coil pistols.
Standard infantry are equipped with Eco-suits that amplify their strength in combat and increase their durability. This Eco-suits allow soldiers to live in the vacuum of space for a maximum of one hour. These suits also come with a HUD and comlinks for the soldiers.
The Navy uses boarding ships and drop ships extensively, so they combined the two. Now it is referred to as the 'Terror Worm' it is equipped with thrusters and can carry up to two squads of men. The Worm has Ben noted to tear ships apart on its own by making burrows in the ships, weakening it on the inside.
Missiles are still extensively used by the military in all-out war operation. Though, they use EMP missiles the most to disable ships.
Lasers are rarely used, however, they serve as good point defense weapons on their ships. Another uses is for long range weaponry, such as snipers and main cannons.
Infantry also comes equipped with swords, not your regular swords of course. These swords require a battery to operate because the sword vibrates, not particularly noticeable, but when it cuts through an enemy, those wounds become large. This sword makes mincemeat out of those on the recieving end.
General Technology:
The people of the X'Cor society have access to much technology, so long of course as it is not military grade tech. Many planets use natural energy to power the planets, efficient hydropower plants seem to dot the surfaces of the planets they hold. Then there are the solar collectors in orbit, they gain energy from the stars and is stored for collection. Massive geothermal constructs are build under ground, all the way to the mantle of each planet, and collect energy from the heat of the planet.
Many of the citizens can drive flying cars if they so wish, though it is not recommended. Every business Hassan artificial intelligence to help them keep track of what they have, though that is all they do, keep track of things. Each citizen that works in mining uses laser miners to help speed the process along. There are translators for the people that live on slave planets or go into space so that everyone can be understood properly.
Warp drives are their general way of getting from planet to planet, system to system. Ships tend to be powered by nuclear power while the smaller ones simply use ion engines to get around. The people have holo-computers that can come onto display from their wrist if they so wish, this holo-computer comes with a translator, however they are very expensive, yet most military personnel receive it.
Economy:
The economy of the X'Cor is poor, leaving the people to trust to the government to solve this problem. They gain their wealth from raids against others to help alleviate this problem, however, they can sustain themselves for a period of time without collapsing.
Spaceships:
A drop ship and boarding ship that is around 20 meters in length and 3 meters in width. It is crewed by two people and carries 20 passengers. The Worm is made of pure titanium, come equipped with a rotating head and outer shell that allows it burrow through most ships and earth.
This fighter is 9 meters in length and carries three pilots, one to fly and the other two to use the two 360 degrees laser blasters used to shoot down enemy vessels. The vessel is able to fire off a total of four missiles.
The Sinjen space vessel is a small, thin one with minimal weaponry. It is 200 meters in length while only being 60 meters in width. In total it crews up to 205 people, coming with a shared barracks and 12 different decks. It comes equipped with an advanced nuclear reactor to power all systems, located in the exact center of the vessel. The Sinjen can carry up to 50 tons of cargo. Weaponry includes; 12 EMP missile silos, 2 Railguns, 6 Laser Cannons, and one Terror Worm.
The Azjur-class Cruiser is a big triangle going through space, a literal triangle. It has a total length of 300 meters and has a max width of 150 meters. It crews a total of 400 people, coming with 30 different operations decks. It hold two fighter bays along the bottom of the ship, holding over sixty Hercules-class fighters. The ship holds two twin advanced nuclear reactors. Weapons include; 5 railguns, 30 laser cannons, 20 EMP missile silos, and 4 Terror Worms.
The Capital-class is a large ship that is defensively oriented, having a hull of 50 straight feet of titanium. It has a maximum length of 1,000 meters. It holds a crew of 1,000 people, can carry 600 passagers as well. It has 6 different fighter bays, carrying 180 Hercules class fighters. It is powered by one hyper-advanced nuclear reactor. Weapons include; one massive railgun situated one the front of the ship, over 100 laser cannons, and 30 terror worms.
Name: Oin
Species: X'Cor
Gender: Male
Appearance: Like most X'Cor, Oin possesses the standard six limbs. The X'Cor holds a greenish skin tone to him with several scars going up and down his face. He is exceptionally scrawny in comparison to the others who work with him, though he stands at around 6 foot 5 inches. He tends to wear a white version of the of the standard Eco-suit that is supplies to the soldiers.
History:
Oin was a zealous warrior for the X'Cor empire, always obeying orders and never once has been flagged for a punishment for crimes any crime. To the X'Cor, he was the spotlight of a perfect soldier and he was deeply rewarded for what he does for the Empire. Lavish praises, goods, slaves, all the good stuff that a soldier would want in his life, yet no promotions. So, he waited for two years as he awaited for further orders from the Emperor.
It came, orders to attack a massive ship that was trying to leave the Namilee homeplanet, a possible warship that could outclass many of the vessels that the Empire currently had. Oin was sent with two squads in a terror worm to help tear the ship apart from the inside and recover any technology that they could. He followed his orders with an undying passion, boarding the ship in the worm. There he learned of what the X'Cor truly did the Namilee. They had begun killing innocent people and managed to get their power systems to begin overloading.
Not a single round had come from Oin's weapon.
While still loyal to the cause, Oin did not wish to see this war be dragged out any further. So, he requested that he retire from the campaign to in fear that the war was beginning to play tricks on him. He did not witness the destruction of the planet or the fleet, both he was happy to do without. He had a feeling that what they had to the Namilee was wrong, they were a peaceful race who had done nothing to provoke the X'Cor. However, the fleet had been ruined and the Empire was suppressing slaves across all systems.
With everything going south, Oin felt the need to go back to the military and serve under the banner of his beloved nation once more. It should come to no surprise that he helped eliminate many rebellion groups within the Empire, not using violence as the first means of his campaign. He sought to negotiate with them even give generous gifts from the stockpiles of wealth that he had. This was a new strategy to his people. Nonetheless, he became Captain of an exploration ship, a personal request, and promised to go out and find a better place amongst the stars for the X'Cor to conquer.
"Darkest are these times for the Empire. Perhaps a change is in order. Perhaps destruction is not the only tool for war."
Weapons: At least 2 paragraphs should be spent explaining, in detail, the sort of weaponry they carry
The X'Cor known as Oin carries only two weapons with him, both having seen the combat of war a the death's of many innocents. He wields a Coil rifle, a weapon hat is akin to the railgun, but faster firing and not as powerful yet it still packs a punch. The Coil guns uses shrapnel rounds, slugs that break apart upon contact with the target to ensure maximum lethality.
His second weapon is a coil pistol, similar to the coil rifle. It serves as a last resort should he run out of ammo with the fist weapon of course. Though, he also wears the Eco-Suit that is standard issue to the soldiers of the X'Cor, albeit a white version, The suit had been modeled after the suites that had been found with Namilee and thus have the supporting capabilities as one, with more armor of course. The suit allows him to breathe in many places for at least one hour and connects him with a comlink. It is a more updated suite that comes with HUD and motion sensor.
Personality:
Oin is loyal to one empire, the X'Cor empire and he will refuse to tolerate any attempts for his people to mutiny against the Empress or himself. While loyal, he does not retain what he had been in the past, instead rejecting the X'Cor that he was. He holds much regret for what he has done, seeking to right the things that he has done wrong and he hopes that the service to the Empire will bring him salvation. He does not want to be a conqueror any longer, seeming to abandon the ways of a typical X'Cor.
However, he must act that he is a part of the X'Cor society, even if that brings ruin to more civilizations before he feels redeemed. To the outside, he is a cold monster who wishes to do nothing but murder all those who dare stand against them. While yes, he does still kill people, he does not want to. He acts to be bloodthirsty, acts to make sure his people still believe in him. Many see him as cunning, strategic, brooding, which he is, but only to a certain degree.
Oin sees himself as any other X'Cor, a monster who only wishes to kill all those who get in his way. In truth, he wishe to change the stereotype of the people and bring in an age of piece. In fact he very well could if the Empress died and he rose to power, however, he is loyal and wishes for the Empress to live a long life. He wishes to find an inner peace, an unattainable thing due to the blood on his hands.
He is an actor, a leader, a negotiator. In the end he is a very charismatic Oin who could convince the slave that nothing was truly oppressing them within the Empire and that the Namilee had started the war. However, this also means he is a liar as he knows the truth in full, he just denies it all. He has become highly sympathetic to alien species and hopes that the X'Cor can follow his way.
Being a vessel of the X'Cor, it is no where near the fastest ship in galaxy, but it can keep peace with most others. Though it does come with a large, decently trained crew along with many weapons systems that could very much stand against a fleet of cruisers if the cards favored the X'Cor.
If you want it to be bigger, you can have a few colonies here and there that aren't fully populated.
I think it makes sense that most planets wouldn't be fully populated, because it takes a lot of time for that many people to be born
If you want your nation to be bigger or something, just say you have like 5 "buffer" colonies on the outskirts of your territory, which aren't fully populated with 18 billion each but provide a layer of defense.
The problem is the X'Cor haven't expanded in a while and have just sat there.
Their planets had their populations come up and the planets they conquered have become populated with X'Cor along with the slaves ^^
Nation Name: The X'Cor Empire
Population and Demographics:
The X'Cor own more than twenty-seven star systems under their control with over double that in planets that they have taken control of, either by colonization or by hostile acts. No other advanced species in their empire, only primitives who have suffered at their wrath. However, the primitives in their nation are kept under a strict control. No species from an outsider civilization is allowed to be a part of the X'Cor population, unless they are slaves.
There are over 123.12 billion documented X'Cor within the empire, the population is greatly increasing with the more planets that they conquer. However, they are required to keep document of how many slaves make up their total population, though they only do this in percentages.

Now, it is time to study the insides of these horrific beasts. The X'Cor have purple colored blood, over nine liters worth, though they only require one-fourth that amount to carry oxygen to the cells effectively. The X'Cor have a lack of lungs meaning that they absorb oxygen straight out of the air like an insect does. However, they have a standard digestive system except it can digest nearly everything that is organic, including bone. The X'Cor have five seperate adrenal glands that activate when pain, thus allowing them to tank through pain and not feel anything. If anything, shooting them only pisses them off.
The X'Cor are not an extraordinarily strong species, however they are a fast one that can clock up to 40 kilometers an hour. They can keep at this pace for quite a while, two whole hours in fact.

The governor may only be X'Cor as they are the superior race, slaves shall be treated as such. The governors may not change laws of the government, however, they may add new local laws so long as they do not take away rights from the X'Cor citizens or slaves.
Slaves may be treated as slaves, but they are still sentient beings and may retain essential rights as people. They may not serve in the military as they have proven to be weak for the military. Slaves may not serve as governors for their government has collapse to the X'Cor and thus hold a weak government. Slaves may be trades from master to master, this is a typical thing within the X'Cor society.
Yearly, the governors will meet with the Emporer and give them half of the taxes and materials that have been collected. A governor will be executed should he not give anything to the Emporer. The governmental body shall then discuss any issues that are being faces nation wide. They shall come up with solutions and then enact those solutions to see if it worked.

Military size: For the typical species, a military cannot be larger than 7% of the total population. But if you have some special reason that it should be higher, I'll most likely allow it.

The Navy uses boarding ships and drop ships extensively, so they combined the two. Now it is referred to as the 'Terror Worm' it is equipped with thrusters and can carry up to two squads of men. The Worm has Ben noted to tear ships apart on its own by making burrows in the ships, weakening it on the inside.
Missiles are still extensively used by the military in all-out war operation. Though, they use EMP missiles the most to disable ships.
Lasers are rarely used, however, they serve as good point defense weapons on their ships. Another uses is for long range weaponry, such as snipers and main cannons.
Infantry also comes equipped with swords, not your regular swords of course. These swords require a battery to operate because the sword vibrates, not particularly noticeable, but when it cuts through an enemy, those wounds become large. This sword makes mincemeat out of those on the recieving end.
General Technology:
The people of the X'Cor society have access to much technology, so long of course as it is not military grade tech. Many planets use natural energy to power the planets, efficient hydropower plants seem to dot the surfaces of the planets they hold. Then there are the solar collectors in orbit, they gain energy from the stars and is stored for collection. Massive geothermal constructs are build under ground, all the way to the mantle of each planet, and collect energy from the heat of the planet.
Many of the citizens can drive flying cars if they so wish, though it is not recommended. Every business Hassan artificial intelligence to help them keep track of what they have, though that is all they do, keep track of things. Each citizen that works in mining uses laser miners to help speed the process along. There are universal translators for the people that live on slave planets or go into space so that everyone can be understood properly.
Warp drives are their general way of getting from planet to planet, system to system. Ships tend to be powered by nuclear power while the smaller ones simply use ion engines to get around. The people have holo-computers that can come onto display from their wrist if they so wish, this holo-computer comes with a translator, however they are very expensive, yet most military personnel receive it.
Economy:
The economy of the X'Cor is poor, leaving the people to trust to the government to solve this problem. They gain their wealth from raids against others to help alleviate this problem, however, they can sustain themselves for a period of time without collapsing.
Spaceships:
Terror Worm - A drop ship and boarding ship that is around 20 meters in length and 3 meters in width. It is crewed by two people and carries 20 passengers. The Worm is made of pure titanium, come equipped with a rotating head and outer shell that allows it burrow through most ships and earth.
Sinjen Exploration Vessel - The Sinjen space vessel is a small, thin one with minimal weaponry. It is 200 meters in length while only being 60 meters in width. In total it crews up to 205 people, coming with a shared barracks and 12 different decks. It comes equipped with an advanced nuclear reactor to power all systems, located in the exact center of the vessel. The Sinjen can carry up to 50 tons of cargo. Weaponry includes; 12 EMP missile silos, 2 Railguns, 6 Laser Cannons, and one Terror Worm.
Azjur-class Cruiser - The Azjur-class Cruiser is a big triangle going through space, a literal triangle. It has a total length of 300 meters and has a max width of 150 meters. It crews a total of 400 people, coming with 30 different operations decks. It hold two fighter bays along the bottom of the ship, holding over sixty Hercules-class fighters. The ship holds two twin advanced nuclear reactors. Weapons include; 5 railguns, 30 laser cannons, 20 EMP missile silos, and 4 Terror Worms.
Capital-class command ship - The Capital-class is a large ship that is defensively oriented, having a hull of 50 straight feet of titanium. It has a maximum length of 1,000 meters. It holds a crew of 1,000 people, can carry 600 passagers as well. It has 6 different fighter bays, carrying 180 Hercules class fighters. It is powered by one hyper-advanced nuclear reactor. Weapons include; one massive railgun situated one the front of the ship, over 100 laser cannons, and 30 terror worms.
I have 9 fully populated planet... Which would be 162 billion ravenous creatures. 7% of those would be around 11 billion soldiers. Huh. Smaller than I imagined
"The problem here is that we do not have enough Gallocemen currently to launch an effective raid on anyone! Titiana, Eliz, while I do appreciate your need to gain our honour back, I have to agree with the others and say we need to regain our manpower. We must improve our defenses so that raids do not end this way again. Thus, I accept the terms that these Children of Mercy have brought us, no raiding. As far as Odo goes, Eliz shall do what she suggests once we are permitted to raid once more. Meeting adjourned."
Serhiem was happy with the fact that he had reverse engineered the Dwarven Bow that Eliz had brought back, he had to thank the others for this. However, work had to be done to actually equipped the soldiers with these new weapons and so he, and the craftsmen who had helped him before, set to work to make thirty of these Crossbows, as they have been calling them. They would also need to make the ammunition, but that would be simpler to do.
