Map Location:

Government Type: The Augustan Empire is ruled under an Absolute Monarchy of sorts, the Emperor’s word and decrees being the law of the land. Under the Emperor is the Imperial Senate, who are to handle the daily functions within the Empire, passing laws and enacting his decrees, as well as acting as an advisory council to the Emperor. Between the Emperor and the Imperial Senate are the Noble Houses. The Noble Houses were once the First Families of the old Augustan Confederation, and with the transition to Empire, the First Families had quickly ascended into becoming Noble Houses that held great influence within the Empire.

Demographics:

• Humans(Baseline and Offshoots)-48%
• Dathu-29%
• Vrunak-15%
• Other(Migrants, Vassals, etc,)-8%

Humans

Dathu

Left to right: Southern, Northern, and Islander Dathu subgroups
Native to the world of Datheron, the Dathu are an amphibious species with mammalian traits. The Dathu are an antiquated people with a similar culture to the medieval ages of many worlds. Their society ruled by nobles, lords, and kings. The Kingdom of Datheron was one of many short-lived states that emerged from the Great Fall. Within the span of a five decades, the Kingdom, and its holdings would fall and be annexed by the steadily growing Augustan Empire.

The Noble Houses of Datheron would be allowed to retain their power and status, although they would now answer to a new throne and sovereign not of their kind. The Dathu are also separated into several subgroups, the pale Northerners, adaptable Islanders, and the hardy Southerners.

Vrunak

Military:

Imperial Augustan Army

Imperial Star Rangers

The Star Rangers are an old order of psionic warriors that date back to Pax Yrranus, where they acted as guardians, protectors, and pioneers of the Ausgustan Realm. During the Civil War and the Great Fall, the Star Rangers acted as the first line of defense of the Augustan Realm against all manner of invaders that sought to forcefully reap the harvests and plunder.

The following decades between the rise and fall of the old Confederation, and the rise of the modern Augustan Empire would lead to a divide between the rangers, many fleeing Augustan space, fearing this new empire. Others that remained would become faithful servants of the Imperial Family, becoming the Imperial Star Rangers. The Rangers in the Empire serve a similar function, they maintain peace and order in the Empire by any means, given privileges and powers beyond other organizations.

Ranger Armor Examples

Ranger Sentinels

Sentinels make up the non-psionic manpower of the Star Rangers, often supporting Rangers in combat or most cases, in defense of Ranger bases and vessels.

Ranger Ships

Outrider-class Fast Attack Ship

Age of Broken Shackles



A long time ago, the galaxy was once under the iron grip of the Yrrani, who were said to be god-like in nature, their power beyond any known species in the galaxy. They ruled for untold centuries, acting both as benevolent rulers, and terrible tyrants. They gifted many worlds wonderous technologies, uplifted species of their choosing, all the while they razed entire systems to any who would dare defy their rule and wiped entire species from the face of all of creation. They were both loved and feared, revered and reviled by trillions, it was known as the mythical age of Pax Yrranus.

However, nothing lasts forever, near the peak of their reign, a darkness fell over their empire that begun with the death of the Ascendant Emperor, a tragedy orchestrated by a usurper of the emperor’s own kin. The galaxy was soon plunged into a cataclysmic war that would span a hundred years and, in its end, the Yrrani were but a shadow of their former selves and had simply vanished from the face of the universe. The galaxy, long under Yrrani dominion was at last free. Five hundred years have passed since the Great Fall, the younger civilizations have long since prospered upon the ashes of the old age, allowed to control their own destiny and set out to carve their own path in the stars, the tools and technology of their old masters now theirs for the taking.

And it would begin on Tar Yrra, the home and throneworld of the Yrrani, thought to had long been lost since the Great Fall, was found once again fifty years from the present day, and had been the source of a series of conflicts collectively known as the Reclamation Wars. The main objective being to claim the bounties that lie within, as Tar Yrra would prove to be the greatest vault of lost technology to ever been found.

It having the power great enough to tip the scales in favor to whomever possessed it or doom the galaxy to another dark age. The Fourth Reclamation War would conclude with the Armistice of Jarila, giving a brief pause to the violence for the time being. However, the fight for Tar Yrra is far from over, and all the forces of the galaxy plot and scheme their next moves in the open and behind the scenes. Preparing for the grand battle to come.

Welcome to the Age of Broken Shackles! A Very Soft Sci-fi setting ripe for all sorts of possibilities. Filled with all sorts of political intrigue and thrills, space adventures, and all sorts of military shenanigans! One of main features of this setting is I’m going to be very loose on tech, stuff that has previously be limited, go for it! Dyson Spheres? Sure! Your own means of FTL travel? Have a whack at it, and whatever others.

However, regarding wonderous military technology and tactics, they for sure are allowed….buuuut! They will not guarantee you a perfect defense or offense. In the past millennium in-universe, everything you can think of has been possibility tried, won battles, and now has been successfully studied and countered. No one is invincible, and in the present, tactics and tech that have worked in the past still is effective, but the chances of failure are equally high. You will miss, your defenses will be breached, and so on and so forth.

Basically, as with previous rp’s, the tech and tactics effectiveness is dependent on an agreement between players. Remember foremost, this is a collaborative narrative story, for the fun of telling a story, not a game to win. Also to note is that the rp will be move in a relaxed pace, to better accommodate players with busy schedule.

Starmap

Map

Each dot represents a star system, and the big one is Tar Yrra.

Nation Sheet
Nation Name/Flag (The usual, provide a name of your nation(long version, short version, or both, you decide) and an option to post your nation’s flag.)

Map Location: (Post your claim on the starmap.)

Government Type: (State government type and provide a small bit of info on how things work, doesn’t need to be super detailed, just paint me a good enough picture)

Demographics: (The people of your nation, human, xeno or both. It could be as simple as a percentage list with pics, a small paragraph or whatever you feel is best)

Military: (The fun part! What’s defending your nation in these uncertain times? You can provide as much or as little detail as you like. Can’t also forget, showing tons of pictures of what their soldiers, vehicles and ships look like :P)

History: (Speaks for itself. It can as brief or detailed as you wish.)

Age of Broken Shackles(Very Soft Sci-fi Nation RP)

Awesome, we got more then enough people to start the OOC!

Age of Broken Shackles(Very Soft Sci-fi Nation RP)

@LadyAmber

1) Correct, each sheet helps with world building by displaying what sort of place your nation is, and how they interact with the world.

2) Yes, you have the option of having the leader(s) of your nation have an active role in the story. No sheet is necessary for the people that live within your nation, you're welcome to have a sort of basic character list, but nothing too extensive. Also yes on playing as NPCs within your nation, often in addition to your own cast of major characters.

3) Discord is purely for chat and planning purposes, just for players to hang out and discuss for the fun of it. The actually rp will be taking place here in the guild.

4)That often depends on the players, either through collabs or through a series of posts that bring them together for a specific plotline. The story will be very player driven.

Age of Broken Shackles(Very Soft Sci-fi Nation RP)

@MrSkimobile Well, for the map, that's to help visualize the setting, and of course, figure out who is who. Just draw up yourself a claim, set a sheet with your nation's lore and you're set!

As for Nation RPs, they come in a variety of flavors. My brand, as well as others, is more narrative/character focused. We don't "play" as nations per se, rather we play as the people within. It's more of a large-scale version of your typical RP where we can play as a large cast of characters in addition to other player's casts of characters to drive a particular story or several.

Age of Broken Shackles(Very Soft Sci-fi Nation RP)

Excellent, excellent! Let's keep it going, anyone else interested?
