Name of the Nation:

The Tallarn Confederacy

Species:

Outer colonial humans, later Tallarnians These are humans who’s ancestors left Earth controlled space and set out to the frontiers to start a new life. Due to the harsh conditions they faced in the early stages of the colonisation of their planets they have adapted themselves to suit their new homes. Though effectively still human, they are abit taller then ordinary humans and are physically stronger then the average Earth human.

Description of Government:

The Confederacy is lead by the Autarch. (S)he rules with an iron fist over the people of Tallarn. The absolute leader of the Confederacy, the Autarch has the last say about any decision made by the House of Lords and the System Council. He is also the System Council representative of Tallarn. He is protrayed as a living god while infact he is just a mere man. There are only 2 ways to become an Autarch: Heiraditary or deposing through civil war. The House of Lords is the Confederacy’s parlement. The Lords are the leaders of Confederacy wide government institutions (Navy, Army, Intelligence, Treasury, etc.) The System Council consists of the leaders of the individual planets. These are called the Dukes. Under the Dukes are the Barons, they are basically the same as the Lords of the House of Lords, only then meant for their own planet. It is not rare for infighting to occur in the Confederacy. Because of the vastly different origins of the colonies, the people on these colonies often have conflicting morals, costums or traditions. Confederate civil war is rare but can result in a change in Autarch. It is much more common however that Barons want to take land from eachother and wage wars for it. Only humans are allowed to work in the government, the Condeferacy is overal rather xenophobic.

Description of Military:

The Confederacy is a military state. Everything else could be sacrifised aslong as the military remains strong. There are several military forces in the Confederate military. The largest organisation is the Confederate Army. This is the force used to protect the interests of the Autarch (and the Lord of the Army), aswell as fight the galactic ground wars. It’s units are highly drilled and have a zealous devotion to the Autarch and they are conscripted from all the worlds of the Confederacy. They would rather die then show cowardice in the face of the enemy. Their equipment is completely standardised. They all wear the same uniform and all use the same weaponry. The military doctrine is to use massive amounts of infantry and armour to overwhelm the enemy while all the while delivering a continuous artillery bombardment. The second largest organisation is the Confederate Navy. Favouring large starships with alot of heavy weaponry over nimble light ships, the Confederate Navy is a bastion of conservatism and is in a direct rivalry with the Army. The Navy controls ALL ships and military aviation, including the support ships for the Army. Sometimes when a rivalry needs to be setteled the Navy just does not provide airsupport to the Army, while the Army might destroy vital resources used to construct more vessels or destroy captured dockyards. The Navy also controls all merchant shipping. Finally, the Navy does not just use large dreadnoughts and battleships. They also posses carrier ships, carrying a large amount of fighters, bombers and dropships. The Navy is devided into several Armadas lead by High Lords of the Fleet (Not to be mistaken for Lord of the Navy). These Armadas are then seperated into Battlefleets, led by Lord Admirals, which are inturn split into Strikefleets, led by Fleet Admirals. There are also the individual planetary armies, split up in armies controlled by the Barons. These armies are the first line of defense for these planets and they vastly differ from eachother. Some might use laser weaponry while others use but mere sabers and lances. The Barons use their own personal armies to enforce their demands on the Duke, who is reliant on the Barons, aswell as to settle personal claims with eachother. The smallest organisation is the Tallarnian Guard. These are the personal bodyguards of the Autarch and number 6000. Lastly, but certainly not least, is the Intelligence Bureau of Tallarn (IBT). The IBT is there to keep the populace under control, working as the secret police. But they also have the task of espionage and, odly enough, diplomatic relations. The IBT on paper is a very small organisation. But it has agents in all other organisations, both military and civilian. It is rumoured that it is actually the IBT who controls the Confederacy because everytime an Autarch change occured the Lord of Intelligence was the only Lord who was allowed to remain seated, specualting that he actually orcestrated the coup. The Confederate Army uses the exact same loadout for each of their soldiers: -Flak armour, which is a special personal armour to protect the person against shrapnel and ordinary bullets. Usually covered up in the form of a trenchcoat but depending on the circumstances of the planet (like arctic or jungle) can be covered differently. -An assault helmet, Covering the entireface with a skull like rebreather, the assault helmet has 3 functions. The first is to protect the user against weaponry, the second is to make him able to operate in a hostile atmosphere (like gas attacks) and third, to intimidate their enemies. -A Mark 7 Lasrifle. The Mark 7 is the latest itteration of a long line of Confederate laser rifles. It is sturdy and reliable. It uses a battery pack which has a capacity of 200 shots but the intensity of the weapon’s beam can be intensified, increasing it’s drainage of the battery. It can fire 400 bolts a minute but that is not recommended to try, as the barrel will need rapid replacing due to overheating. The Mark 7 also has a fixed bayonet. The Army also uses Commissars to keep the men in line and remind them of their precious duty to the Autarch and the Confederacy. The Army’s Main Battle Tank is the Ares. The Ares uses a special armour which can deflect laser strikes, but it is not 100% succesfull at that. The Ares can be fielded in many forms. It can be equiped with an anti-armour weapon, but also with a flak cannon or a anti-personel weapon, like a flamethrower. It also has smoke grenade launchers and the ability to be converted in an artillery vehichle or APC. The Army recently approved the Mars BattleMech. The Mars is a BattleMech which is just as fast as the Ares MBT. It has jumpjets so it can cross difficult terain and has been equiped with a new portable railgun and flamethrower, aswell as the ability to be equiped with a MRLS(Multiple Rocket Launcher System) for artillery practices. The Confederate Navy has alot of ships though the most prominent are: -Legate class Dreadnought: Named after the commander of a legion in ancient times, the Legate is a majestic ship to behold. It is richly decorated both internally and externally. It is the second most heavily armed class of ship in the Confederate Navy but it certainly is the biggest one. The Legate’s role is fleet command. Usually commanded by a Lord Admiral, the Legate can take a heavy beating and strike back just as hard. -Agrippa class Battleship: The Agrippa is the main ship of the line for the Confederate Navy. It has a large amount of broadside weaponry and is an intimidating opponent due to it’s shere size, only dwarfed by the Legate. The Agrippa is meant to take hits and keep the enemy occupied so the other ships of the fleet can finish them off. -Athena class Battlecruiser: Basically a smaller version of the Agrippa, the Athena has sacrificed some of the armour for missile bays, allowing it to deliver far more damage to an enemy at close to medium range. This also gives the Athena the ability to bombard planets from orbit. -Nova class Cruiser: The most common ship in the Confederate Navy, the Nova class is also the oldest class still in service. Having many turrets covering all possible attack angles, the Nova is always ready for a fight. It is not as well protected as the Athena but the Nova can still take quite some punishment, and it needs that resiliance. One tactic Nova commanders commonly use is a rather brute one: Ramming. The Nova is a rather slow ship but still faster then the Agrippa and the Legate. The Nova also houses a large fighterbay. -Fury class Destroyer: The newest addition to the Confederate Navy. Though only half the size of the Nova class, the Fury is the most deadly of all ships. It’s cyclone torpedos travel at near lightspead to their target and when they impact they create a force equal to a large meteor strike. Though this firepower comes at a price. The Fury only has 4 cyclone torpedos and they are rather unreliable. One recorded instance saw the torpedo explode in the launching tube and destory half a strike fleet. The Fury also has basic railgun weaponry mounted in turrets on it’s hull. It is also the fastest ship of the entire fleet. The Navy uses several fighter and bomber types but the most common are the Gorgon class Fighter and the Harpy class Bomber. Both are based on the same design yet one has anti- fighter weaponry and the other has anti-capitalship/ground weaponry. Lastly, the navy also builds large commercial and defence stations acros all the planets owned by the Confederacy. These usually shield the planet and are armed to the teeth with railguns and laser weaponry. They also have a large amount of fighterbays. They also have nuclear weaponry aimed at the planet. Officially to be able to destroy enemy bridgeheads on the planet, but actually they are there to make sure the populace doesnt get any funny ideas.

Technologic overview:

The Confederate tech is not really fancy. Yes they do have laser weaponry but that has suited their needs untill now, so they dont really need a new improvement. The Confederacy still uses alot of explosive weaponry on the ground using weaponry which has it’s origins in the weapons used on Earth in the 20st century. They do not attempt to biologically enhance their population but there have been rumours of secret cloning facilities which do experiment with “improving” humans. These facilites however can not produce an army out of nowhere, it takes atleast a day to create 10 clones in these facilities, resulting in 10.000 clones a month from all the facilities combined. (if allowed by the rules) The Confederacy has the ability to use AI and use them alot in civilian life. Deeming it too risky for AI to control weaponsystems. All weapons are manned by normal soldiers. Though guidance systems and such are AI driven.

Cultural Overview:

The Confederacy has several layers of society. Mostly this is caused by the split between the planets. The capital planet is Tallarn, the seat of the Autarch, the House of Lords and the System Council. Tallarn is a planet completely covered with large skyscrapers and huge factories. The people from Tallarn deem themselves superiour to all the other members of the Confederacy. They have hold the highest ranks in all Confederate governmental organisations including all the high ranking officers in the Army, Navy and the IBT. Secondly come the core worlders. These are the citizens of the other founding members of the Confederacy. These world are usually either a breeding ground for the Army and Navy or are completely transformed into planetsized factories. Then there are the outer colonies. These are considered the lower classes. The colonies provide the core worlds their raw resources. The Confederacy is a Xenophobic society. Believing themselves superiour to any “foul xenos” in the galaxy. Although they wont say that through offical channels ofcourse.

History:

Back when old Earth was still colonizing across the stars there was a small corperation called the Tallarn Trade Corp(TTC). The TTC then found a wormhole and went through it. To their disdain they found out that they were not the first ones to discover this wormhole, others had passed through it already and claimed several planets. After some random jumps the TTC found what they were looking for, a planet rich of raw materials. They named this planet: Tallarn. After several decades of building up their settlement on Tallarn all seemed to go well. Trade had been established with the other colonies and back home the TTC was making a huge profit. But then disaster struck. The wormhole, the only way to reach the outer colonies from Earth… Collapsed. Now not only Tallarn but all outer colonies were cut off from Earth. Fearing the worst. It was decided that a union had to be formed, because you’re stronger when you’re united, right? So the outer colonies formed the Confederacy of the Outer Colonies. After the collapse of the wormhole and the formation of the Confederacy everyone was doing their part to survive. And slowly the settlements grew into cities, which grew into states. It had been 250 years After the Wormhole Collape (AWC). Tallarn had grown into the most powerfull colony. All the other colonies were governing themselves. Tallarn had been leading in military production, because they were the biggest state they had to supply most forces. Then there was first contact. An alien race, now only known as “The Vorchan”, entered Confederate space. Immediatly a response force of the closest planet, Mordia, was deployed. The Mordian fleet tried to open communication but the Vorchan engaged their weaponsystems. Unknown to the Mordians this was a way of greating for the Vorchan, showing what power they held and thus exposing their weaknesses. The Mordians immediatly responded by opening fire, destroying the Vorchan ships. 2 months later another fleet appeared, again near Mordia. The Mordians again dispatched a fleet… And that was the last thing the Confederacy ever heard of Mordia. Following this event the Vorchans pushed deeper into Confederate space and the Confederacy had to fight with everything it had to not be destroyed. Not be exterminated. But it seemed in vain. One by one the colonies fell. The Vorchans now reached Aurelia. They were planning to invade Aurelia but unknown to them the Aurelians had a plan. They would await for the Vorchans to enter orbit, as they always did, and commence their planetary invasion. The Aurelians would all defend one central point, a special crystal mine. This mine ran to the core of Aurelia. The Aurelians would blow up their own planet and destroy the Vorchan invasion fleet. The invasion began, but to the Aurelian and the Confederacy’s shock not all of the Vorchan fleet moved into Aurelia’s orbit. There had to be a space engagment… Tallarn was up for the task. As the Aurelians were holding their position, awaiting for the Vorchans to deploy all their troops, the Tallarnians engaged in space combat. Thousands of lives were lost, hunderdeds of ships destroyed. But the Tallarnians had beaten the Vorchans… Just intime to see Aurelia sacrifice itself. It is unknown wether or not the Vorchans were completely destroyed by this act, or deemed expansion into the region too expensive. But they were never seen again. In response to this crisis the Confederacy met in the Systems Council. The war had been costly, none of the planets had any fighting force anymore except for Tallarn. And here the leader of Tallarn demanded that somthing like this, the loss of countless of systems by alien hands, was never to be allowed again. All councilers agreed. But what the Tallarnians then did was not as the councilers had expected. The other planets were invaded and their leaders were captured. The leader of Tallarn declared himself Autarch. He then ordered that all who would disagree with his rule would be killed. There were uprisings at first, but they were quickly crushed by the Tallarnian military. The Confederacy of the Outer Colonies was no more. From now on it was the Tallarn Confederacy. Now it is 350 AWC and the Confederacy has expanded it’s boundries significantly. A recent civil war has made everyone in the Confederacy uncertain of the future. The new Autarch promises to bring glory to the Confederacy. “This is the start of a new age, my brothers and sisters. We have suffered greatly in the past. But today comes an end to our suffering! No more shall we be devided! No more shall we fight for personal gain! The Confederacy was formed for the betterment of all. And we will be better. For we will rid the galaxy of any who opposes us! Today my brothers and sisters, sons and daughters of Tallarn, we shall cross our borders and expand into the unknown! We shall conquer the stars! We shall dominate all… For that is our destiny, the destiny of mankind, the destiny… of Tallarn.” - Autarch Radec Orlock of the Tallarn Confederacy.

Precipice of War - We Write Under The Sign Of The Goat

I think it means your post was a bit too ridiculous to be taken seriously. What, with Kiwi Jesus and cannibal soldiers who had the skill to take out a military base in an instant, but couldn't resist eating corpses, even to avoid being shot up by said Kiwi Jesus. Also the time traveling ship from New Zealand arrived mentioning the Commonwealth that the British seemed to have formed the following day. Did you talk to Shyri about your commonwealth thing before hand? Because his post makes me think not. :x

@Noiz

You know what, you have a point. I got a bit eager there :P. Someone could've warned me a bit though. :D

Question - does Shyri's post mean that the New Zealand ship wasn't seen by the British right at their border?

Name of nation: The Orrors Templares [/b]Species:[/b] The Tarviant Order Highly esteemed in Orrors society, the Tarviant Order is made of natives from Tarvia, hence their name. Bold, willing and trustful, they were the founders of this great Order. Standing six foot tall, slim and agile, they are warriors in every right. The Tarviant lifespan is quite average for such a race, 100 years to be exact. They are quick to adapt and recruit at a very young age. They are Spartan like in concept, killing the weak to hold the strong. To discipline whenever possible, the slightest flinch or groan and they will get 10 strikes with a baton. Their body structure is quite.... strange. They have very high bone density, especially in the ribs but they are also extremely light. If one was to pick up a Tarviant without his armour on, they would be surprised as they weigh like a feather. Their genders are also very strange. The way it works is that females will almost never see the outside worlds, protected in huge monasteries. The female is hold almost sacred in Tarviant society, so their protection is outmost important. Unfortunately for the Tarviant Order, the male birth rates are declining, meaning less troops for the Orrors. The High Leaders still refuse to send women into battle, they are to be protected and defended, not used as soldiers in the front line. The Tarviant Templars have also noticed strange behaviour in the Tarviant females they are protecting. They have grown..... almost scheming. It is heresy to think of these thoughts but the Templars give a close eye. Te Chi These 7 foot Giants are the second race to come into the Orrors. They are natives of Ching V, of the Tarlinius system. Ching V was a very harsh planet, the thin air and the huge sand dunes that covered it did not make it of the most hospitable ones. Te Chi developed a very strange face mask because of this, their heads almost seeming like helmets. Their skin is hard, almost rubbery, and their supposed "exposed" insides did not help their look. They are a silent race, almost never communicates with speech and when they do.... it is like music to the ears. A lyrical flow of words that appeals and makes you almost fall in love with it. Only their kin, trusted ones and male or female's Kei Ling have heard this beautiful speech. Other than that, Te Chi communicate through a series of hand signals and body movement to show their intent. They also have a weird bonding mechanism, called Kei Ling. When they their Kei Ling, they will protect, love and defend this lucky sentient until the end of one of their lives. Te Chi live very long lives, 500 years is not something to laugh about. Most of their race are bold and trustworthy, if you become ones friend, they will defend you and be your silent guardian. Te Chi are also very cruel and quick to anger, one of the few negatives they got from such a cruel world. They try to hold it in though. Te Chi have ever since meshed into the Orrors, silent and worthy. Nar The third and final race to come into the Orrors, the Nar have proven themselves worthy of the Templar. They hail from Tak'Yo III, of the Jap system. Tak'Yo III is not barren but nor is it a paradise, it is an ore world. Filled with metal and riches beyond desire, this world is a miners dream. Gold, jewels, metal and other mysteries are hidden behind this rock. The local wildlife have adapted to this otherwise harsh environment. The Nar have developed a metal Exoskeleton that covers their whole body, tough and flexible. Due to their metal exoskeleton, they are very heavy and hard to carry. The Nar had a very tribal society before joining the Orrors, warring over edible food and such. They are also very guilty for what they have done in the past. The Purge is an event that changed Nar society forever. A race before the Orrors came to Tak'Yo III and performed xenocide to the Nar. They killed in the millions, searching every home and every land to collect Nar body mass. They died to the heavy metal atmosphere, after killing 189 million Nar and mentally scarring the rest. This has made the Nar humble and very wary of others. Other than that, the Nar have developed a kinship with the other two races in the Orrors, after they got over their xenophobic ways. They have since joined the Orrors and fought, bled and died in the name of the Templar. For the Great Crusade. [/b]Description of government:[/b] The Orrors government is like a Troika Monarchy. There are the Three High Templars of the Orrors that rule over the land, make the big decisions, make the rules and regulations, etc. They also are the generals of the Orrors Templares and rule over the military and their resources. These three High Templars are a representative of every race and can only be replaced by his or her's choice of a successor. Civil war can work as well. Though bloody and ruthless. Every time a High Templar dies, in battle or otherwise, and they haven't chosen a successor yet, three Blood Trials shall begin. Every Templar, Crusader General to lowliest Squire, can participate and fight in three arenas filled with death and traps. Whoever wins each arena get assessed by the other two High Templars. They will be given an army of new Squires and must claim more territory for the Orrors, without pissing anyone else off. Whoever gets the most territory wins, the other two will either be promoted or stay as a Crusader General. Description of military: The Orrors strategum is set in vicious melee fights, orderly tactical retreats and then killing the enemy off in a trap somewhere. Crusader Generals would usually hammer the enemy with strafe runs and the likes before ordering the fighters to land in the middle of the enemy position, and kick the ever loving shit out of them with numerous melee weapons. They would then retreat slowly, as to bait the rest of the army, and then kill them in a trap. This is not the olden days. This is the Modern Orrors Templares. Other strategies are to charge in with vicious speed and lunacy into the enemy hordes, catching them by surprise, shitting in their water supply and covering their base with fire and other such creative things. In space is where they truly stand out however. The Orrors have no capital ships. None. They fight with agile and manoeuvrable fighters, each containing a Templar. Every single Templar is taught how to fight in, maintain, repair and destroy their respective fighters. That is why there are many different types of fighters in the Orrors Navy. They value speed and stopping power above all else. This combined arms strategy is quite effective in space and the "scary" capital ships of other nations can't really use their big guns against small opponents. Handheld Weapons and Infantry Armour The Gladius Sword is the standard melee weapon of the Orrors Templares Military. Rugged, reliable and the longevity of a Millenia, it has served the Orrors since the day of it's founding, almost 500 years ago. Made from the golden metal called Sigma which is commonly found in vast asteroid fields and ore planets. You sharpen a refined piece of this metal and it will become the sharpest, lightest and reliable blade in Orrors history. The Tar'Kut Scythe Weapon is the trophy weapon of every high ranking officer in the Orrors Templares Military. Given to them when they reach Templar Officer or Flag Bearer, this weapon is not only ornamental. Made from the same metallurgy of a fighter's armour, this weapon is kept and treated as a trophy by most officers but still use it in battle. In kills most in one swipe and is dangerous in the melee that most Templars enjoy. Mark V Arcane Musket is the standard mass effect weapon in the Orrors. Made up of Talyon metal and the simplest firing mechanism known to the Orrors, this weapon is pretty much space Ak-47. You can throw it into the mud, throw it off a cliff and it'll still be working. The Musket sounds a bit more powerful and kicks quite a bit more than standard ballistics guns. It also have a very small, factory inside of the gun, capable of making the bullets for the gun at a very fast rate. The bullets are quite small though, and most bullets are shaped round, not the shape modern ballistics use. Mark III Shotgun is another standard weapon in the Orrors Arsenal and is absolutely ruthless. Far from the unlimited ammo of Mass Effect guns, these double barrelled shotguns use junpowder, a highly explosive, highly poisonous powder that is extremely powerful. This is the shotgun equivalent of a RPG. It doesn't have the benefit of unlimited ammo though, and is limited to two shots. Mark II Portable Gatling Gun is pretty much hell on earth for the enemy. With the factories, Junpowder covered bullets and a rate of fire that is second to none, this is literal death in your hands. It is very heavy and can only be carried by Heavy Templars but is extremely brutal and effective on the battlefield. This supposed bygone weapon is still used to this day. For this is a handheld weapon of mass destruction. Crusader-pattern Squire Armour is the most basic type of armour and is only given to Squires. It is quite cheap, plating armour isn't very hard to make these days. The metallurgy in this armour is very simple and the protection barriers are also very simple. They are dubbed as "Scrap Armour" by all Templars. Technological Overview: Cultural Overview: History: Other:

I love you. That was quite badass. But you were missing something very important. I never said The Shadow was an omnipotent being did I? ((You don't have to change it))
