my weapons are going to be causality and entropy benders, causing the area hit to speed up locally by a high amount time wise. Then entropy kicks in and crumbles your neat armor. Considering adding microwarp drives to them so they can warp by point defenses.

<Snipped quote by WrongEndoftheRainbow>
Being honest, this really totally fails to address my concerns in that department.
What I'm saying is narratively the rest of the Union is irrelevant as the narrative will never see the rest of the Union in any way, shape, or form.
@LHG100 I didn't think anybody would mention those types of computers. +1 for knowledge! But what's a computer simulation worth, when it can be destroyed by any pissant emergent alien species because everyone's too busy hooked into VR? Plus, ruthlessly efficient, it ain't efficient to play make believe in VR, and they got a universe to bug out of and/or prevent the heat death of.
My post will come Eventually. Waiting on gim right now.
Okay, the who, why, where, and when.
Why do they have infinite ene--
No.
Why are their ships so big?
It's mainly a shock and awe tactic. When something hundreds of times bigger than your ship, perhaps even thousands of times bigger suddenly appears in your system, you're going to likely be fucking terrified, and that's what the Aeolians want. Bring your brown pants when the UU locates a fleet staging area or fleet base.
Why do they not have swivel mounted main guns on their battleships?
They're massive fucking spinal-mounted weapons designed for wiping out entire fleets in spectacular displays of causality and entropy bending. See "Shock and awe".
Can they destroy planets?
No.
Why are organics in charge of an extragalactic empire?
They're a bunch of ruthless motherfuckers, they're not going to let themselves be so easily replaced by machines. That, and I'm calling it tradition to remain organic.
Why do they not discover their own tech?
I thought it'd be interesting to RP them needing to cooperate with other races in the galaxy to manage to get more tech, instead of them coming pre-equipped with every single thing everyone else has but better. Suspension of disbelief please.
What's the Union's goal?
To survive and thrive. Whether that means delaying the heat death of the universe, finding a different one to create paradise in, or just taking everyone the fuck down with them, surviving and thriving is the name of the game.
Why don't they just conquer the Milky Way?
Go searching for a singular ant in a place with no anthills. Squash that ant. Congratulations, you've done what the Union cannot. They've got enough galaxies that they just plain stopped giving a shit about a majority of the unclaimed galaxies.
What's the point of RPing if the Union will just squash us later?
To have fun? To create political intrigue, smash ships together, etc. while the RP is alive? I dunno. vOv. If it's that big of a deal, see above.
Magic?
They've likely mapped it out entirely and figured out its secrets, but they're a technomancer empire, no magic for them. I won't be going into magic with the Union.
Any questions I missed? And @keyguyperson mind if I make a second nation that's way weirder and also provides something more antagonistic without being straight up hyper powerful?

@Keyguyperson I used a star wars ship as a reference for my carrier, actually.
I think that was a joke.
"The calculation that underlies the Casimir experiment, a calculation based on the formula predicting infinite vacuum energy, shows the zero-point energy of a system consisting of a vacuum between two plates will decrease at a finite rate as the two plates are drawn together. The vacuum energies are predicted to be infinite, but the changes are predicted to be finite. Casimir combined the projected rate of change in zero-point energy with the principle of conservation of energy to predict a force on the plates. The predicted force, which is very small and was experimentally measured to be within 5% of its predicted value, is finite.[34] Even though the zero-point energy is theoretically infinite, there is no evidence to suggest that infinite amounts of zero-point energy are available for use, that zero-point energy can be withdrawn for free, or that zero-point energy can be used in violation of conservation of energy.[16]"
they're still subject to conservation of energy, but they can draw from the theoretically infinite form of zero point vacuum energy. by no means can they draw the entire output (the output is finite as said in the quote) but it's a safe and high tech form of power generation.

a big misconception is that they have infinite energy. unless i did a boo boo by accident in my app, they can draw energy from vacuum, not infinite energy from vacuum.
@Ophidian there's millions of galaxies out there. they won't look in your direction until suddenly you're kicking their teeth in. the narrative very well could be working up to that point. the UU scouts are basically the "get out of my face" assignment for really bad screw up a, so they'll get ignored.
edit: I can only give vague details on my phone, so I'll gather up all the info and get you a big writeup when I get home.
