Galaxia Politi [OOC/OPEN/FT]

[Jolthig]

Is the IC finished yet?

Almost. Sorry for my absence; stuff came up IRL.

Anyways, I'll review the apps I missed and then I'll go ahead and get the IC up sometime today or tomorrow. Hopefully today.

Alright, cool.

[The V O I D]

IC Posted. I decided I'd make my first actual IC post later, rather than trying to include it in the IC's OP.

Feel free to start posting. Is anyone up for interacting, by the way?

Id be down for interaction ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

really though that'd be cool, what scenario do you think would work well?

Maybe an accidental Terran incursion on a sleeping Stralom World (one only inhabited by automatic defense/construction drones). After the Initial Terran colonization party is forced to retreat (because they thought it was just a normal uninhabited world) it turns into a huge political debacle between the two Nations, with each party attempting to convince the other it meant no harm.

Perhaps. Although, Terrans aren't overly expansionist anymore, they do like to expand... they'd probably send probes from the Imperial Legions into the system first, to investigate it. Then, once those drones are destroyed and they figure out why, they'd likely try to contact your nation for an explanation.

The Terran Empire is also highly religious, considering it has theocracy built into it; after all, their domestic leader is the Pope, the leader of the Christian Church; while the face of the Empire is the Emperor for international relations. So, there could be some religious conflict as well depending on various factors.

That sounds really interesting, especially when you think about the natural distaste that would result from a Highly theistic and a Highly Atheistic nation having to deal with one another

Formal Nation Name: The Cordean Republic

• Informal Nation Name: Cor, Cordium
• Shorthand Name: see above
• Other Formal Names: No

Government Type: Oligarchy

• Legislature Name: Assembly of Notables
• Head of State/Government: Grand Secretary of the Assembly of Notables
• Other Information: Each city's patrician families have seats in the Assembly of Notables, as well as various politicians, military officers, businesspeople, and other high-ranking figures of importance (as the name suggests, it is literally an assembly of notables). There is also the Caucus of Tribunes, elected representatives who also serve in the Assembly.

---

Population: 498,327,766,430 (est. as of most recent census)
Species Number: The vast majority of the Republic's population is human, but aliens are not viewed badly, and some from various species from across the galaxy reside on Cor or within her territories in small numbers, often there for business.
Owned Systems: 1
Supply Systems: 89

---

Coat of Arms:

Military Population: Just under two billion Cordeans serve in the armed forces (1.9 billion or so, or roughly 0.0038% of the population), and several billion more are part of reserve units or political paramilitary organizations.
Military Branches: Republican Guard, Republican Army, Republican Air Force, Republican Marines, Republican Space Corps, Republican Special Landing Corps, Republican Special Operations Force
Ships: The Republican Space Corps operates several thousand tender craft, and millions of combat drones and cruisers, as well as several hundred battle stations.
Fighters: Depending on one's definition of a fighter, the RSC operates anywhere from zero to several million such craft.
Soldiers: The majority of the Republican Army's troops act as gendarmes or security personnel for Space Corps, naval, and air bases, but they remain well-trained and well-equipped. The Cordean military is an all-volunteer organization and focuses on producing highly trained and capable officers.

---

History of Nation: The history of the Cordean Republic began when a lone colony ship, countless years ago, became lost in the great morass of stars that is the galaxy. It crashed on a lush, hospitable world, and its inhabitants spread out, preserving some of their technology, but losing contact with their homes. Over the years, most of their original culture was wiped out, and on the world they named Cor, various powerful city states emerged, warring and waxing rich and powerful. These states eventually formed a loose federation- the Republic- and turned their eyes deeper and deeper into the stars that they had descended from so many countless years ago. Trade with neighboring civilizations made them grow ever wealthier and ever larger, and large parts of Cor's surface are now covered by cities. The enormous majority of the Republic's population still dwell on their homeworld, much of the remainder within its orbit, and nearly all the rest at least within the same star system. However, it has gradually pieced together an envelope of space around its home system. These foreign star systems see little use, besides as stopping points for trade or the site of an occasional farming settlement, and often the Republic permits foreign settlers to pay a tax, join the Assembly of Notables, and settle within them. Cor now continues to be a massive hub for trade and interstellar travel.

Thinking about being a ruthless dystopian warlord, maybe rig up some stralom drone weapons.

Think mad max but in space

[Islanden]

I'll be doing an app soon, but given the size of the galaxy (10s of billions of star systems) and the time, should we expand the size? I mean, it seems more likely that superpowers would control hundreds of millions of star systems.

We could also change it to be just in part of the Orion arm of the galaxy (~100 million systems).

The galaxy is just fucking huge.

[Arvenia]

Are Ashtars overpowered?

The reason I've set the limits I have is to give an opportunity for many players to join. It's also because I don't want it to become a wankfest wherein the superpowers generally curbstomp anyone who isn't a superpower.

Another issue is even with 5 trillion people and owning 1,000 systems for living space, that's about 5 billion people per system in terms of population density. If I raised the limit of owned/livable systems to say, 20,000 for everyone and 25,000 for superpowers... that density becomes 250 million people per system for non-superpowers, and 280 million per system for superpowers. To fix this, I'd have to raise allowed population amounts... eventually, it becomes an endless loop of trying to find a good balance until the RP becomes a bit wanky. So, I'm avoiding that by keeping current limits.

History of Nation: The Grand Thalarian Empire began in subterranean seas under the frozen ice plains of the planet Medusa, in the Algol Star System. The Thalarians quickly evolved to high intelligence, and upon breaking free of the ice began an Empire that spanned to numerous star systems. The empire quickly faced turmoil against religious zealotry from its own species, resulting in a brutal war that lasted a generation and spanned between both the planet Medusa and its moon, Chrysaor. This resulted in the creation of the Tetrarchy, a leadership style that require four leaders, the Emperor, Empress, Eidolon of their Religion, and a Regent, elected by free citizens. Due to slow reproduction habits the Thalarians began enslaving various races that they deemed too weak, or too invaluable to the Empire. Free citizens enjoy the right to vote on small issues, and are allowed to pursue careers of their choosing, while slaves are forced to do the bidding of the ruling Thalarian elite, and are often genetically modified to become more docile and submissive to the rule of their masters. The Thalarians continue their expanse into the stars in search of new genetics to steal and populations to enslave.

---

Species Name: Thalarian
Species Type: Molluscoid
Species Class: Class 5
Species Appearance: Thalarians
Species Biology: Very slow to reproduce, capable to regrow lost limbs unless something is done to prevent it (i.e. Cauterizing), Six digit, four joint fingers/hands, capable of telepathy with other Thalarians, Thalarian blood has an extremely low freezing temperature and boiling temperature, allowing them to survive in extreme environments, night vision, Average height of 7'6", Omnivores, Cannot be cloned due to genetic make up, however can be genetically modified

---

Species Life Span: 5,000
Reproduction Type: Sexual, Eggs
History of Species: Thalarians began in the subterranean seas below the ice plains of the planet Medusa, in the Algol Star System. Due to the extremely cold temperatures their bodies adapted to frigid temperatures. Due to their planet being shielded from their triple-suns by its moon, Chrysaor, their planet is covered in a thick layer of ice as it receives little sunlight. Their civilization expanded to fill almost heir entire ocean, coming dangerously close to running out of food. As result of a mass culling, and numerous generations of controlled population growth, the Thalarians evolved to live incredibly long lives, but reproduce extremely slowly and in low numbers. Due to a necessity to defend against predators early on in their existence, Thalarians developed a natural affinity for psionic abilities and telepathy.
