Space Empires - The Beginning

[PolarisGL]

OOC: BTW, each system is worth 500 credits, but you take 2,000 at the beginning and multiply it by .30 to find your military budget.

IC:

A LONG TIME AGO IN A GALAXY FAR, FAR, AWAY...

"Private, prepare for combat."
"Yes, sir."
The automations began driving into the system like a knife through butter. There was no way the Rebels could stop the massive onslought on their home system. Their speeders tried to knock out their ground defenses, but the Anti Aircraft modules were too abundant.
The Rebels contacted the Eurillian system, their 2nd HQ. They told them to get the support from various systems. In the next month, there were about 200 systems warring with the Empire of Stars.
Soon, underground movements began, even on the Empire's home system - Tryful. The movements proved that the Rebels were not people to be messed with and dealt with lightly. In came various soldiers from the Rebels: about 3 million mobile infantry aided with a few Corps of hovertanks were able to capture the Emperor. When the Rebels threatened to kill the Emperor, the Empire put down their arms and fled the systems, who had also begun underground movements.

The Revolution had been successful.

400 years later...

It is After the Revolution, AR, and all the systems involved in the war have disbanded their entire military, and have begun a restart in the colonization and settlement of the systems they once knew as home. The systems of Eurillion and Tryful were neutral states, and no leader would ever rule them. Various groups of systems begin to combine their powers and resources into what they call their space empire, something that would live throughout the galaxy for years to come. These empires are now beginning to appear, diplomatic relations are reappearing, and weapons of war are being built.

Which empire will you command...

[DarthVeda]

The darlock scout ship penetrated the fabric of the uncharted universe.


Four generations and still we have not found a homeworld. The scan will tell us whether or not this universe will suit us.


"Sir, we're getting some readings back from the array"

The young ensign stood up and handed the captain a digipad. The captain sifted through the information as it was uploaded.


Damn. It says this universe is dominated by an all-power. The Darlocks need to found the new homeworld in a universe with no all-powers to be able to rebuild our former glory.


"Helm, make course for the next charting. This universe won't do for our purposes."

And with that, the scouting vessel left the universe.

THE IMPERIAL TRADE FEDERATION

In the galaxy, a new empire has formed...

The system of Aluin was where the empire began. A young Darth, named Eurill, began to make the Trade Federation a place where people would want to live. He began implanting underground transportation, factories to produce great weapons of war in the future, industrial complexes in every size. The young Darth Eurill was an enthusiastic one, a brilliant one, and one not meant to mess with in the Imperial Crown. Soon, three outlying systems were eager to join the Empire. The system of Tru'el (Tru-eal) was the first to join. This system is rich in resources, including the various metals needed for the military and other constructions in the Empire. It also had a rich forestland where the people lived in technological mansions. The second system to join was Duijton (D-we-t-hon). This system had a large population and the unique part was the underwater cities in the oceans, and the beautiful free landscape that the Empire would soon colonize. The last system to join the Empire was Murille (Mur-ill). This system was known for one of its planets which was a vast desert. This planet, called Treidure was known for the gambling contained in it and the loyal-to-the-empire pirates and bounty hunters that would only do tasks for the Darth himself. The other systems had large populations and different languages, races of people, and rich resources.

However, one week ago, Darth Eurill died, leaving an election. Recently elected in the council was Darth Imperous, a man known for his intelligence and his great ancestor who fought with the Rebels and won the title of the greatest general in the Rebel Powers.

Now, he began his construction...

GOVERNMENT
This government is called an Imperium Galactica government.
Only the Imperial Empire can have this government.
This governemnt is ruled by a dictator, otherwise called a DARTH.
The DARTH has an assistance party called the Imperial Council.
The DARTH has two parties underneath it that he discusses treaties of war, economics, and other issues with. These two parties are the Imperioni and the Galactrai parties.
In the Imperial Council is the following:

-Pollution Advisor.
-Building Advisor.

OTHER COUNCILMEN SUBPARTY
This subparty consists of 50-100 people, all of them dealing with other council issues not stated above.

The Imperial Empire has open foreign relations, so we will be glad to hear any proposals.

[Midshipman]

The Foundation has been formed by the systems of Brigadoon, El Dorado, Atlantis, and Shangri-La. (Every legend has its basis in fact.) The Foundation is a democratic governemt system, led by the Supreme Council.

The first elections held in the Foundation led to the election of Council Leader Jonathon Casee and the sixteen members of the Council. They have all taken the pledge to preserve, protect, and defend the Foundation Code, and are gathering at the capital of Primus on Shangri-la. Further info is forthcoming.

Citizen Ariadne Augusta soared through the warm, blue-violet skies of Concord, the clean wind running across her wings and over her skin. Finally, after centuries of wandering through the galaxy like nomads to save themselves and their culture from the depradations of the Empire of Stars, the proud Peregrine species had finally returned to their ancestral home.

Two kilometers below, the sprawling metroplex of Avalon was an awe-inspiring place of graceful spires, looking more sculpted than built, reached for the skies like the Tower of Babel. From her vantage point, Ariadne could see people flitting through the air from one skyscraper to the next, and the teeming masses browsing through the great open-air marketplaces which filled the pedestrian throughfares, a callback to the Peregrines' heady past. As Ocula Dea, the Eye of the Goddess, rose above the horizon, it bathed the markets in a warm, golden light.

The Government Center loomed before her, a monumental struture that had been severely damaged when the Empire had launched their bombardment of Concord. Its once-great majesty was marred by scars, pockmarks and great slabs of rock simply missing. Scaffolding covered the damaged sections, with crews hard at work at restoring the place. Even after nearly half a century, the Center barely resembled the wonderful edifice recorded in the history books.

Ariadne felt a bit of trepidation. All four worlds of the Peregrine Confederacy had voted her to guide them through the turbulent times which certainly would follow. A government spanning stars, billions of people looking up to her for guidance. Ariadne was unsure how she would perform.

Fate would soon give her the opportunity to find out.

------------
Name of Government: Peregrine Confederacy
Form of Government: Representative Democracy, though the leader (known only as Citizen) merely guides the government and takes care of trade or military issues which concern the entirety of the Confederacy. All four planets are semi-autonomous.
Current Leader: Citizen Ariadne Augusta (THIS PICTURE SHOULD WORK)
Homeworld: Concord
Colony Worlds: Fulminia, Serena, Tranquilita
Goals: Peregrines are notable scholars and explorers. They maintain a small but efficient military, preferring instead to funnel their money into lifting the veil from uncharted portions of the galaxy. The Great Library of Concord, saved from the Imperial onslaught, is one of the most extensive sources of pre-Revolution texts available.

5,000 years ago, the Ki-Maja were a powerful race. Thousands upon thousands of the ships overwhelmed any opponent the encountered. until the came across Higi'ria. The planet was beautiful beyond the wildest dreams of those who first encountered it and was apparently uninhabited. But such a beautiful world was uninhabited for a reason. Higi'ria was home to the Hazor, the scourge of life. The Hazor were a microscopic race that inhabited and destroyed the bodies of whatever it encountered. The surveyors of Higi'ria were infected without their knowledge and spread the Hazor across the Ki-Maja dominion. For 4,500 years the Ki-Maja battled the Hazor, by killing those infected at first and later with ever more sophisticated medicines.

When the Hazor plague was eliminated, the Ki-Maja had lost all but 50 million of their kind and possession of every world except the Homeworld, Maja, and the demon planet Higi'ria, where millions had attempted to flee the Hazor. Higi'ria had been cleared of the Hazor by the powerful Ki-Maja medicines and once again was seen as a world of unlimited beauty and potential. Maja, however, was devastated, rotting corpses littered its gentle landscape. When the Ki-Maja went to clean Maja they discovered something incredible. They shared only 45% of their DNA with the Ki-Maja of before. The 5 thousand year struggle had evolved the Ki-Maja to a new plane. It had made them stronger, smarter, and turned them into beings of pure energy. The Ki-Maja now shared a permanent link between them and every other Ki-Maja. Now the Ki-Maja once again looked to the stars, ready to ascend to their rightful place in the cosmos.

Race: Ki-Maja
Type: Beings of Pure Energy
Appearance: The Ki-Maja look like a glowing white, almost transparent, squid. Manipulate their enviroment through telepathy.
Technology: The Ki-Maja are no longer as advanced as they were. After 5,000 years they must rediscover their old knowledge.
Government: Those who have performed great deeds are sometimes named Prime or leader. A Prime serves for life or until he retires. The Prime is assisted by the Council of 7, who make most of the decisions.
Worlds: Maja and Higi'ria
Other info: The Ki-Maja have had no contact with any other nations for 5,000 years. The have only recently begun building weapons starting with the Planetary Guardians.

Robert Marks looked out the window at the huge city of Albion...the largest city in the universe...and probably the ugliest also. Oh well, Marks thought. If I want beauty, I'll go to the Peregrine worlds. If I want hard work done, I'll come back home. Albion was definetly the hardest working planet-city in the known universe, and by most accounts, the largest. In a war I would be much safer with the great factories of Albion then the great palaces of Concord, he thought. Not that anyone would want to attack Concord-worthless as far as industry goes, and attacking the peaceloving Peregrines would bring a whole league of empires aiming for his head.
No, he would keep the Confederation out of any war for the time being...except if those rumors about the Ki-Maji proved true. He figured the squids would probably die easy....

Name of Government: Confederate Union of Delia
Form of Government: Confederation. Each system has a good deal of autonomy, constitution similar to former CSA.
Current Leader: President Robert Jacobs
Capitol System/World: Albion
Colony Systems: Anslaag, Industria, and Richmond
Goals: The Delians have the strongest industrial base in the universe. They intend to maintain and increase that advantage, while using it to gain new systems.

"the largest city in the universe"

If this is propaganda, it is allowed. If you mean this, it is not. We do not have knowledge of eachother, so you would not know what the largest city is.

[Gibster]

Gibstar walked through the latest laboratory he was inspecting. This was the same lab that, fourteen cycles ago, invented the biological "Shells", used by the Preteon military, as well as important members of the society, to bolster the Preteon people from short, one-metre tall weaklings, into substantially larger humanoids who now resonated with power. With this invention, there was nothing that the Preteon could not do (OOC: yes, a boast).

---------------
Name of Government: The Preteon Technocracy
Current Leader: Gibstar
Homeworld: Pray
Colony Systems: Corner, Vision, Stage
Goals: Increase knowledge, through conquest if necessary

You know, I coulda sworn that Polaris limited everyone to four colonies at the beginning.

[General_BT]

he told me four systems

[Swonga]

From the ruins of war, the Necrontyr rise from the Y-class planet Necron. War was common on Necron, recently biological warfare. The many tribes of Necron were at constant war, for that was the only life they ever knew. Te tribes would fight for land, food, power or whatever interested them. They did remember one thing from their past life as a civilized race. The ancient Necrontyr, their mythical predecessors. The Necrontyr were supposed to be a very advanced, but strange race of demonic rock-men, or silicon based life to the learned men of the world. They were so deeply rooted in he memory of the tribes that they had to be real, yet their existence had been reduced to a children's fairy tale. Then the day of dread came upon Necron. The scientists of the Malakari had created a weapon the would cause death of massive proportion. They had created a mysterious device found in newly discovered ancient texts. This would summon the Necrontyr from their enternal slumber and supposedly grant the summoners the title as their masters. That very day the device was powered in an ceremony to tyhe masses of the Malakari. Suddenly a huge beam of pink light erupted from the small box, heading directly for the sun. At tha very momnet, the evil that was hidden from the universe awoke in four systems. In a few hours, 13 planets were conqered by the ancient demons from the past. On Necron itself, a creature over 400 feet tall arose from the earth, leading the assualt against the many tribes. They did not have a chance. Once conquest was completed, the creature settled down into the ground as a mountain and the Necrontyr emperor, still able to speak the ancient language of the necrontyr. The demons began to raise their ancient space-faring vessels and established contact between all their planets and began their rise to onquest once again.

Name of Goverment: The Necrontyr have no name for their goverment other than their own
Type of Goverment: Empire
Ruler: Emperor Tzyg-kan
Homeworld: Necron

The description of all thirteen planets and systems will be given later.

[PolarisGL]

General_BT is correct: 4 systems.
By the way, we are not using Coug's system...
