Imperial Races

Core Region Species

Species Name:The Tagali
Appearance:Tagali
Biology/Anatomy: Their body is remarkably similar to humans despite obvious differences like orange blood, blue skin, an extra set of canine teeth, and the ability to eat things that would prove fatal to other species.
Natural Abilities: Natural night vision, Maximum speed 30 mph, incredibly agile and able to jump 15 feet in the air.
Unnatural abilities: Psionics have always been present in the population, serving as Shamans and elite warriors. For the last 1,000 years, however, more psionics have been born, making them a sizable chunk of the population.
Breathable Gas: Oxygen
=========================================================
Life Span: Naturally 120 years unless environmental pressures get involved. With modern technology, the Tagali lifespan has been expanded into the 200's.
Reproduction: (How does this Species Reproduce Asexually? Sexually?)
Intelligence Level: Sentient
Species Type: Humanoid
=========================================================
Population Percentage: Still deciding on this part
Notable Individuals: Councilor Lahira Ol-Togara,
=========================================================
Brief Description of Species: On the outside, it would appear that the Tagali are a subspecies of Humans, but actually are from a completely different evolutionary tree and more physically and mentally adept. The Tagali evolved on the hostile jungles of Jakala. While bountiful in resources and life, the fauna of the planet was incredibly violent and territorial. The Tagali evolved to become social animals because of this, grouping up to hunt the beasts of their world. The Tagali are firm believers in strength in numbers. A belief they've carried on as they allied with others, from other Tagali tribes, to the Tagali Enclaves, the Home system and the colonies, the other species in their region, and now other galactic powers

Many have pointed out the cultural similarities between Humans and the Tagali, specifically Middle Eastern and Indian cultures, but the Tagali are less divided. Even in their antiquity, the Tagali cared little about gender roles or sexual preference, only how an individual fit in with society.

by **Veroxia** » Thu Aug 25, 2016 2:09 pm

GENERAL-
NS Nation Name: Veroxia
Nation Name: The New Pratorian Republic
Flag:

Location: Center of the Scutum Systems
Number of Controlled Systems (No more than 60,000): 55,000
Capital (System, Planet, City): Capital System, Koros, Marcadia
Government type: Noocratic Constitutional Monarchy
History:
The NPR was formed out of the remnants of the ancient Pratorian Brotherhood, and the jingoist Korosian Robotic Empire. 840 years ago, humans left their homeland in search of a new one, their own destroyed by greed, war, and ignorance. Indirectly, they made contact with the Pratorians; an ancient synthetic-like people known as peacekeepers across the galaxy, along with their abnormal ways of life. Moving the colonists to a wormhole, the Pratorians transported the humans to a habitable and ancient Pratorian planet, called 'Koros' by the colonists.
The Pratorians, however were unable to help support the human colonists in any form other than providing them indirectly with technology due to increasing conflicts internally; a plague of the 'Tainted' had spread far and wide in the North. The 'Tainted' were Pratorians corrupted by 'evil', or through greed, murder, and other dishonorable means. Considered to be a mental disorder, the Pratorians had begun research to prevent the spread of the 'Tainted', but with no avail. Symptoms began with the collapse of the Pratorian's body, pieces of their 'armor' falling apart. This would later on leave a set of armor, and an abnormal dark color surrounding the pieces. Within several minutes, a humanoid figure would arise from the blackened center, immediately seeking any form of sentient organic life. Found to be sentient, the Pratorians had also found that they and their Skylian brothers would be immune to any form of infection; unless they themselves tried to do so through 'dishonorable means'. In order to keep the human colonists safe from such an infection, they placed the humans purposely on Koros, in order to turn them into a form of synthetic beings.
Meanwhile, the human colonists had established themselves the Marcadian Republic, a democratic state based off the ways their ancestors had once lived through. The population would triple in size within the next century, consisting of Koros along with other systems, such as Daxx. The Pratorians had placed themselves in cryo-stasis chambers, as a means to prevent the spread of the 'Tainted'. The infected were stuck in Pratoria, and therefore were unable to spread across the galaxy. By the time the Republic was 100 years old, the humans discovered an artifact known as the 'Kresis'. Accidentally activating the artifact, the entire human population in Koros 'evolved' into synthetic beings we know as the Korosians. Swiftly establishing a new nation and constitution, the people of the new Korosian Republic had wanted to expand their views of 'Enlightenment' or evolution of life into machines across the north, expanding their borders greatly. Within the next century, the Korosian Republic was found in a dilemma; the Senate found to be corrupt, and unable to enact reforms for the people. Previously, the first President known as P-1 created a military advisor known as Visvius, whom would act as head of the military during the terms from P-1 to P-4. Visvius finding that P-4 and the Senate was unable to perform their duties for the people, along with a possible communist revolution; Visvius attempted and succeeded in a coup against the Senate, purging all considered weak or corrupt. Visvius reformed the nation as a whole, and established himself as X-5, leader of the Korosian Robotic Empire.
Seeking to show the greatness of the Korosian Nation, X-5 helped establish the still-effective manufacturing facilities, producing both soldiers, vehicles, and space craft for the War Machine. The KRE expanded aggressively in the Galactic North, conquering any that opposed its position. Any non-human/non-synthetic sentient species found was brutally exterminated, X-5 using them both as slave labor and as a means of pride of the Korosian War Machine. By 2750, the KRE asserted itself as one of the galactic powers in the Scutum Systems, and a possible rival against others in the galaxy.
By 2800, the Korosians had sent exploration craft across the galaxy, charting star charts and meeting other nations. One group of craft discovered the location of the ancient Pratorian capital, found to be abandoned; though several of the 'Tainted' still lurked. Guided by data received from an unknown source, the Korosians activated the cryo-stasis chambers, bringing back the Pratorians and Skylians. Acknowledging to be the forerunners of the Korosians, the Pratorians had given the Korosians 'unity and prosperity'. Scattering across the KRE, a heir to the Pratorian Brotherhood, Pacem, arrived at Koros to succeed X-5. Visvius returned to be the advisor for the New Pratorian Republic, the nation of a new order.
Recently, the 'Tainted' had made a return, bringing forth several outbreaks in the galaxy, later to be quarantined by the Korosian Intelligence Agency. However, a nation the NPR had once had somewhat normal relations with, the Perseus Empire had turned for the worse. A frigate, carrying goods to the Empire had one of its crew become a 'Tainted', and was reported missing by the NPR. Within the 'Imperial Planet' of the Perseus Empire, the shadow lurked within the populace, ravaging through the urban streets at nighttime. A new strain of the 'Tainted' was therefore created, creating skeletal creatures, roaming the alleyways of the Imperial Planet, seeking for victims. The outbreak became somewhat moderate, until it was mostly contained by Korosian mercenaries. The NPR claims no responsibility for the outbreak of the 'virus', and have remained quiet on the issue. Relations had been at an all-time low, and it is believed that several 'Tainted' still roam the Perseus Empire...

Species Name: Crimson (A nickname given by various other races)
Appearance: Drone: http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/met ... 0702025109
Commander: http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/met ... 0702025039
Biology/Anatomy:

The Crimson are a race that seems artificiality created by some sort of progenitor empire. While at first glance one would assume they are of mechanical origin, scientific analysis reveals that they are, in fact, a cross between a silicon life-form and a mechanical one, falling in some weird in-between.
Commanders also appear to have a ability to warp space to a weak degree, which they use to pick up objects around their would-be hand area, and create speech by manipulating a medium, such as gas or water. It has been speculating that they feed of space-time itself to gain energy, as it's near infinite and the would cause little to no impact on space-time itself, even when there are large groups.

The floating object that would at first appear to be one's head, is actually a weapon similar to a laser, with the ability to fire continuously, or in short bursts, at varying strengths. The "brain" is actually located in the core of the body, along with a weaker "emergency" laser. Their method of sensing is a form of radar, where every surface of said body acts as a transmitter and receiver, allowing 360 degree sight. This radar can detect this like color, sounds and even a form of touch. However, the cannot smell, and it is possible (albeit hard) to cause interference to their radar. Upon damage to one or more of their body parts, the seek the nearest source of metallic material and repair themselves, they are unable to regenerate of their own accord.

They come in two forms, drone and commander. The drone form seems to have zero free will and solely relies on direct orders from the commander, their size is comparable to a golden retriever. The commander stands in the 6-and-a-half foot range, and is fully sentient. A single commander can control around 3-to-5 Drones, at which point it's mind begins to overload. They are able to do this by a form of telepathic communication, and use this same ability to talk with both other commanders, and other species with telepathic ability.

A particularly strange part of Crimson behavior is that they will always refer to themselves as male. This rule persists even if he has been using female pronouns, oblivious to any other pronouns, for an extended period of time. Upon learning a male pronoun the will immediately change to using it, and will correct anyone who uses a different set of pronouns. This will even apply if the Crimson would have no realistic way to know this was a male pronoun

Natural Abilities:
They require no food, water, or gases to live

Each one has a built-in laser weapon, as well commanders having a power to create minor manipulations in space-time

The ability to instantly read all cybernetic data stored directly onto a machine, although knowledge they deem unimportant is quickly forgotten

360 radar sense.

Telepathy

The ability to use Blood Crystals, or the Obelisk.

Unnatural abilities: Some have managed to retain fragmented pieces of data from before their deactivation, others, such as Bloodred, can use more drones than the maximum limit would normally allow.
=========================================================
Life Span: They have no known lifespan limit.
Reproduction: They cannot self replicate, and it is unknown how they are manufactured.
Intelligence Level: Sentient
Species Type: Silicon/Synthetic
=========================================================
Population Percentage: 100%
Notable Individuals: Bloodred, a notorious leader of a powerful space pirate gang, who is said to control 100 drones.
=========================================================
Brief Description of Species: (See biology)

GENERAL-
NS Nation Name: The Heavenly Commonwealth
Nation Name: The Obelisk Empire
Flag: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ ... al.svg.png
Location: Inner Sagittarius Arm
Number of Controlled Systems: 35,000
Capital (System, Planet, City): The Obelisk is a large ship in between stars, and is therefore unable to be defined by these definitions.
Government type: Feudal Oligarchy
History:In an age long forgotten, of which a great empire ruled the whole of the galaxy, they built.. things. Things neither all machine or all creature, to work and fight for them. They are no more, but their constructs remained, dormant across the many worlds of the galaxy. It was inevitable that the would awaken. The first ones to awaken found a galaxy that thought their master's constructs as nothing more than weird jewels, adrift in space. It had no place for their kind, and the where victims of horrible xenophobia.

The Obelisk was a structure feuled with mystery. Appearing to be mechanical, yet with seemingly no function. It was here that the Crimson first congregated, suddenly, as if drawn to it by some unknown force. A scociety formed within it's mysterious inner workings, a scociety that would expand to create colonies, for the riches of other worlds, and for relics of thier ancestry. They dug up, drones, commanders, and crystals, and they grew stronger. Their empire grew to have it's own culture and recognition of thier empire by almost all races. They remain mostly the same, rarely partaking in active diplomacy, and being the resident sleeping power.
Population: 1,000,000,000,000 commanders
Species: Only the Crimson are present within the Empire.

ECONOMIC-
Ideology: Isolationist, Supremacist, Materialistic, Scientific.
Economy: Good
Manufacturing: Strong
Agriculture: Horrible

MILITARY-
Population: 50,000,000,000
Branches: Their is only one branch
Standard infantry: They have large numbers of drones.
Standard weapon types: They use the weapons on their own bodies.
Standard ship: A Blood Crystal, which are able to carry around 1,000 entities at a given time. And have a powerful pulse blast.
Weapons:

-DRONE NODE: A large controller with the ability to control many drones at once

-BLOOD CANNON: A re-purposed fragment of a blood crystal, reusing it's ability to shoot pulses of energy. It is used as a mortar-esque weapon

-AMALGAMATE: A monster created from the fused remains of several down combatants, unpredictable and usually reserved for terror missions.

-SALVAGE SHIP: A ship made of various metals found throughout the galaxy, much like a normal spaceship. Dispite differences in composition, they always manage to look the same.

Strengths: A large amount of their weaponry is not understood, and can be hard to counter. It is also very durable and powerful, and the race itself tends to be, made of a very hard carapace.

Weaknesses: They cannot manufacture either this technology, or themselves, resorting to salvage for both.

The New Earth Federation wrote:CODE: SELECT ALL
GENERAL-
NS Nation Name: The New Earth Federation
Nation Name: New Earth Federation
Flag: This
Location: Perseus Expanse, somewhere between the 270 and 240 degrees
Number of Controlled Systems (No more than 60,000): 28,000
Capital (System, Planet, City): Epsilon Erdanri, New Earth, New London
Government type: Military Federal Republic
History:
After the destruction of their home world, the survivors of the Northern European Federation left the Sol system aboard one if the many colony ships that where built for the expansion of humanity. However they now where the arks of despair and grief, they set out for their new home in the Epsilon Erdanri system. Once they entered the system they landed on the nearest colonizabke planet, which was the thrid planet in the solar system. Soon they firmed what would be known as the New Earth Federation, however it was not with out its difficulties while on its journey to explore the moon of New Earth, the New Haven would be the source of a new conflict, the Human-Dracoian War.

The Human-Dracoian War
The Human-Dracoian War or First Contact incident was a very brief war that fought between the New Earth Federation and the Confederate States of Draco. Initial contact between the Federation the the CSD was first over New Earth’s moon, New Luna. A group of explorers, scientist and military escorts went to the moon in order to see if the moon could be colonized. However on their way back they discovered a strange transmission and so they went off course to investigate this transmission. Once they reached the object that was producing transmission, they discovered an unknown spaceship just sitting between New Earth and the fourth planet.

So they bordered the ship and went to investigate. However within docking with the ship they were attack by the security forces that the CSD sent with the ship, all of the crew was killed immediately save one Trooper who wiped all of the Nav records when he fell back to the cockpit, he was soon killed after that. After losing contact with the exploration ship the Federation sent the frigate NEF New Haven to investigate the disappearance. When the New Haven reached the site of disappearance it was immediately attacked then bordered by the CSD. The boarding teams were repelled and then the ship was taken over back NEF forces, both ships were taken back to New Earth. Soon a Battlegroup was mustered to invade the planet, 500,000 soldiers will take part in the invasion after the battlegroup would bombard the CSD military installations and factories. The battlegroup arrived about a few months later and invades the planet, the Dracoians had a much larger force but were largely disorganized because there was base military organization, tactics, and equipment for the Dracoians military; so their military depended on how the state that they came from organized and equipped its military, this created a large amount of confusion and bureaucracy. The next major battle was the Battle of Firebase Delta, this battle was critical because it was one of the outermost perimeter defenses that was established when the Federation landed on the planet. The reason behind the strategic battle was that this base helped protect a major supply depot that was located roughly 10 miles form the base, so this base was heavily defended with a large amount of infantry, air support, and armor support. So when the Dracoians attacked this base it was a desperate fight to hold them back. In the end the Federation was able to hold them off but at the cost of 70% of the soldiers stationed there. Next is the the battle of Lok pass, this battle was over the critical supply route that led form the northern states into the southern states. The Federation was able to take the pass along with the fortress there effectively cutting off the more industrial northern states form the more agricultural southern states. With both halves of the planet cut off form one another the Federation invaded first the Northern States in order to crippled their industry and ability to wage war, at the same a second Federation for attacked the Southern States. The southern states put up little to no fight as most of their militias or armies had retreated to the capital to protect it form the Federation military. The final was the Seige of Nar'val, this battle took about 7 months to end and during the first few days these 7 months Federation forces camped outside the capital's walls and proceeded to drop pamphlets warning the populace to move underground or somewhere safe. The next day the Federation began to shell the entire city, the shelling would last for about four hours and had a three hour in between each volley. Finally after the 7 months of shelling the city surrender thus ending the Human-Dracoian War.

Invasion of Draco
Battle of Firebase Delta
Battle of Lok Pass
Battle of Northern States
Battle of Southern States
Segie of Nar'val City
-Seige of the Capital Building

Changes because of Human-Dacoian War
Federation
-Military
With the introduction of the Dracoians to the Federation; the military saw a great increase in military numbers, and new tactics. The Dracoians began to understand what it was like to be united under a strong central government with a highly organized military.

-Economic
With the take over of Draco, the Federation doubled in economic size and output. New products and a new market was available for wealthy investors and entrepreneurs. Mineral scans also showed that Draco had high concentrations of titanium, uranium, silver, gold, silicon, and other valuable materials for space travel/military/etc. areas
-Social
The Dracoians feared that they would not be treated as equals but much to their surprise they where treated as equals by many who fought in the Human-Dracoian war. Also parts of Dracoian culture and ways of life where the same in the Federation (militarization, honor, self-sacrifice) then other parts of Dracoian culture was implemented into Federation society.

Ral Naar Rebellion
With the Human-Dracoian War over, the Federation began to rebuild Draco and expand. However these where troubled times as a small group of Dracoians resented the Federation because of their imperialistic and militant take over of Draco, however few moved toward violence. A certain highly militant Dracoian named Ral Naar organized a small group of followers and decides revolts against the Federation declaring his state free and will never bow to the Federation. Naar establishes the Free State of Draco, then he proceeds to orders his followers to massacre all Federation Troopers as well as all humans and pro-Federation Dracoians. On New Earth, the 3rd Battlegroup organized and is sent to Draco to put down the rebellion, meanwhile Troopers stationed on Draco are on high alert and mobilized to defend their assigned states as well to put down any other rebellions. When the 3rd Battlegroup arrives a simultaneous invasion by space and group commences on the FSD within weeks the "capital" of the FSD is captured along with a majority of Ral's military/ political advisors are captured however Ral eludes capture for a month before being captured but Federation forces at his personal fortress. Naar is placed on trial he is found guilty of treason, genocide, terrorism, conspiracy to commit genocide, conspiracy to commit treason, and conspiracy to commit terrorism. Naar is executed by firing squad his body is then sent to the deepest part of the ocean and dropped there.

Now after several hundred years of peaceful expansion, the New Earth Federation is ready to step out into the stage of the galaxy and show the rest of the galaxy what it has to offer.......

Population (no more 1 trillion) 710 Billion
Species: Humans and Dracoians

ECONOMIC-
Ideology: Captalim/mercantilism
Economy (Horrible, weak, decent, good, strong, etc): Strong
Manufacturing(Horrible, weak, decent, good, strong, etc): Very strong
Agriculture(Horrible, weak, decent, good, strong, etc): Decent

MILITARY-
Population (No more than 5% of entire population): 28.4 Billion (that's 4% of my population, don't worry I did the math)
-----Military Doctrine: The Federation has a every interesting military doctrine what makes it unique is that unlike other nations which focus on Armor (like tanks), the Federation focuses on Infantry and Air/orbital support, this not only makes the Federation unique but a lot more flexible with military tactics as they can employ more spec-ops forces as well as large infantry divisions with air and orbital support. To compisate for the limited use of armor presence on the battlefield, the Federation has begun to use squad protection drones. These drones only have one job and that is to assist the squad, this means anything form local fire support to recon.
Branches: Federation Army, Federation Navy, Federation Air Force
Standard infantry:
(Image)

Standard Infantry weapon types (Energy Based, Mass Drivers, Missile, Other): M83A7 Pulse Rifle
Standard ship: Frigate
Space Weapon Types(Energy Based, Mass Drivers, Missile, Other): (1) Super MAC cannon, (10) Missile pods (40 missiles per pod), (10) Heavy Kinetic cannons, (20) Plasma Turrets, (10) Ion cannons turrets, (6) Nukes, (10) Gauss point defense turrets

Strengths:
Loyalty- It is a standard custom in the Federation to serve in the military for at least 2-3 years after basic training. Even after being discharged most of the population now is either reserves or serves in the Federal Home Guard (active and reserve), this has cause many to categorize us a heavy militarized nation. Soldiers of the Federation are trained to not back down, fight to the last man, and will fight for both the Federation and their loved ones.
Training- The Federation takes great pride in the military, so we train them to be ready for anything and to make sure that they have everything perfect. Standard basic training is about 3 years and more depending on if you want to become a commando, ranger or Paladin.
Implants-Along with our training all NEF military personal are required to get implants that increase speed, military intelligence, reaction time, situational awareness, strength and bone strength.
Reliable armor/weapons- We want quality over quantity, that is the basis of the Federation military, everything form our spaceships to our bullets are designed to be of the highest standard.

Weaknesses:
Training- One of the main weakness of the Federation is the training time of its soldiers, because we focus on quality over quantity it makes it difficult in the words of some "spam a metric ton" of soldiers for combat.
Limited shielding- Again another weakness, our ships are heavily armored which allows them to take a great deal of punishment, because of this leads to the limited use of shielding.
Limited ground armor- The Federation is not like other nations we tend to focus more on infantry with Orbital/Air support then having a metric ton of tanks. We believe that infantry is much better for clearing urban and non-urban areas then tanks, because infantry can basically be anti everything if you equip them correctly.
Loyalty- Loyalty is also a double edge sword, while it allows for high morale it also hinders us because this may lead to complete groups of soldiers being wiped out due to not falling back or holding their ground.

Species Type: (Avian-like, Mammalian, Molluscoid, etc...) Mammalian/Avain

Population Percentage: (How many members of this species is affiliated with your Nation) 40%
Notable Individuals: (If Any) Paladin Lord Jul Vin Rath

Brief Description of Species: A rather interesting race of individuals, it seems that there is a quite noticeable difference between the male and female sexes. The male gender seems to look more avian like while the female gender looks more mammalian, the Federation has created two theories for this. Theory- There are two major theories that our scientists have developed to explain the reason why there is a major difference between the male and female version of the Draconians,
1. That their was once two different species on the planet Draco however in some way the opposite sex of the two species started to die off and so realizing that the end is near the male sex of the northern climates and the female sex of the southern climates merged into one species. However this doesn't explain why their facial/body structure has changed.
2. The second one is that the males have evolved into what they are because of constant warfare and natural selection. This explains why most male Dracoians are very militaristic and pro military.

Breathable Gas: Not a necessity, although they do need to find ways to generate electricty for their crystal structure, which can hold charge for along time, at first sunlight was the most used kind of electricity until they found ways to generate it themselves.

Life Span: (How long do members of this species survive) Oxxhste can live for millenia and usually only die when killed by unnatural causes which affect the crystal interior structure which makes them intelligent
Reproduction: (How does this Species Reproduce Asexually? Sexually?) Oxxhste do not reproduce, they are formed over decades as special crystals on their home planet develop and fall into lava where they begin the process of forming rocky bodies based on a series of code interlaced in their structures
Intelligence Level: (Sentient/Semi-Sentient Species can have varying levels of intellect that can also affect their technological and military breakthroughs, how intelligent is your species in General?) Very Intelligent, for most of their existence they were philosophers until their first contact with aliens
Species Type: (Avian-like, Mammalian, Molluscoid, etc...) Silicon Creatures

Population Percentage: (How many members of this species is affiliated with your Nation) 100%
Notable Individuals: (If Any)

Brief Description of Species: The Oxxhste are Silicon creatures of the planet Nickonyx. These Extremely Intelligent creatures are formed in the caves of Nickonyx due to a special type of crystal only found on that planet. These crystals have natural electrical pathways that formed as they grew in the caves. Due to the geological nature of the planet magma quite often flows up and sweep crystals into the lava flow where they spend decades growing and forming the 'organs' that are needed to move the rocky bodies that they form, eventually the lava recedes and these creatures are left behind to come to the surface and meet others of their race.

For millions of years these silicon creatures were very passive and uninterested in technological development, and mostly they sat around philosophizing the nature of the universe as more and more of them were created. There was never much in the way of war as these creatures never found too much need for it, if they needed more room they dug down or built up.

They finally became a stellar nation when a race of advanced aliens came in and started to tear up their home, in response the rock people started to fight back as their homeworld was threatened, In battle the rather squishy aliens with fancy tech were no match for the silcon based people and as such were slowly eradicated by the rock people. They were only eradicated though because the rock people never realized they surrendered, and thus they up and assimilated the squishy aliens' star state as their own as the last of the attackers died off. It was then they, the philosophers they were, realized what they had done.

A good bit of the technology they capture wasn't utilized by them, stuff such as robots and items that lazier beings would make were not really implemented although items like computers and FTL drives were taken in along a multitude of other tech. The products they make being craftsman items, rather than mass produced. Their ships, rocklike, finely crafted, well armored but not the most manueverable things. The stuff they do is like them. They're living rocks, to think the way they do imagine the sort of things that rocks in your back yard would want to do and expand upon that.

History:

Ancient Alien Astronauts kidnapped humans and put them elsewhere in the galaxy for shits and giggles. Teehee!

Over a millennium ago, the parliament of the Kingdom of Margo was married to the parliament of the Kingdom of Harlburo, uniting the world of Orso into the United Kingdom of Orso. Humanity flourished for decades under the reign of the Orso Dynasty, expanding to the stars and mastering space travel. However, within the century Orso found its existence threatened by countless alien menaces. Too many races looked upon the new empire and saw weakness. Orso came under siege by the foulest creatures of the universe, the monsters purging a dozen colonies and sending the kingdom back a hundred years. In these desperate times, Queen Mayax Orso I chartered an elite fighting force: Her Majesty's Heavy Infantry. Clad in the second and third generations of Orso powered armor, the HMHI bore massive individual power against the alien menace and spearheaded mankind's counterattack. When the aliens fled, the grenadiers followed. The Armada chased their prey back to their homeworlds, burning all between. When their foes laid in ruin, the Orso Empire rebuilt.

Even once the original threat had been vanquished, the Orso Empire met a new and even greater foe: The mechanical and lifeless Imperial Clans. The two nations came to blows in the Dyson War in a spectacular manner. The HMAF met the War Hosts of Emperor Prime in brutal combat, outnumbered many times and sometimes outgunned. The Clans proved to be a match for the Empire, exceeding the old alien nations in power and technology, and pushing the Orso forces to their limits. After years of hard combat the Orso Empire had destroyed the mining colonies of the Clans and reached Chinkyu, the Dyson Sphere long inhabited by the Imperial Machines, and engaged in a grueling battle on, above, and within the hollow world. The HMHI fought tooth and nail in a lengthy campaign on the massive shell's surface along the outskirts of Clan citadels, suffering their greatest casualties in a single battle in the HMHI's history: 80,000 grenadiers and 12,000 marines died during the campaign. The war concluded with the utter destruction of the Emperor's palace, although even then the battles against Clan remnants continued for a century after, led by the Knightly Orders of the Empire who were founded upon Chinkyu, rechristened Tycho.

In the conclusion of the Dyson War the Orso Empire and humanity was left the dominant power in the region. After receiving their respite after centuries of conflict, the Empire began its expansion again. Along the outskirts of Orso space the Order of the Red Skull discovered the trihumans, an entire classification of mutants, in settlements across a wide section of space. Though the Empire acknowledged they were indeed human, the Knightly Orders of Tycho led a violent crusade through trihuman space, annexing thousands of planets and exploiting their resources. Around the same time Chromesthesians began appearing in the Empire's borders as smugglers and pirates. The Trihumans the Orso handled violently, by conquering their entire space and repressing their populations. The Chromesthesians, however, plague the Orso to this day.

Encounters with alien nations of equal or greater power have tossed the Orso Parliament into disarray. There were two defining camps in the government: Hardliners who opposed interaction with other races through any means besides conflict, and Progressives who supported peaceful communication with other races. Also in the air was treatment of trihumans, which the Hardliners were seeking to improve. So divided were these groups that there was eventually a secession movement after several centuries. The Eastern Colonies, primarily Hardliners, seceded from the Empire and founded the Empire of Halifax, thus beginning the Era of Two Empires. It ended with a massive civil war that shook Astra Orso and ended both the Empire and Halifax as institutions. The sheer destruction wrought by the tech armadas of Orso and Halifax shattered the Empire into hundreds of independent states feuding over the remnants of Mayax's legacy.

From this rubble rose the Kingdom of Orso Domum on humanity's homeworld (OTHER homeworld, fucking Terrans). Led by King William Orso, Orso Domum seeks to reestablish the Orso Empire and unify humanity.

GENERAL-
NS Nation Name: Ithalian Empire

Location: The Perseus Expanse near the border with the Core.
Number of Controlled Systems (No more than 60,000): 28,000
Capital: Crelia City, Antivar.
Government type: Federal Republic.
History:
Antivarian history is generally split into four major eras. The First Era is the rise of the species itself and the early civilizations. The Second Era marks the transition from the use of bronze tools the the use of iron. The Third Era is the rise of industrial nations and the rise of large colonial empires on the planets two continents. The Fourth Era is split into two smaller epics, the Lower Fourth Era and the Higher Fourth Era. The Lower is the information age and the start of space travel while the Higher is the current era and started 800 years ago with the invention of the first FTL drives.

The First Era:

Most of the information on this age is shrouded in myth and hear say. Most of what is known comes from the writing of Second Era scalars and various archaeological digs. Since this era also covers the rise of the Antivarian species it is technically the longest, spanning millions of years of time. But since most of that time was spent trying to figure out fire and hitting rock together, nothing relay notable happened during the Era.

That is until the rise of farming and the start of a classical civilization around the same time humans on earth were learning to do the same. And here is one of the great mysteries of Antivarian history. Instead of hundreds of single cultures creating there own religion, one religion took hold over the Antivarian people.

The Second Era:
Commonly refeard to as the Middle Era this ear saw the emergence of iron as a tool making material, the formation of large empires, and the spread of agriculture to all parts of the globe. towards the end of the era early fire arms were in use and the first democracies were establishing them selves. This era also say the emergence of larger colonial empires. From the time of the first civilizations to the end of the Second Era is nearly 3,220 years.

Third Era:
This era is the most violent of the eras. With industrialization in full swings the colonial empires eventually embroiled the world in three world wars spanning a time frame of a century. After the wars the Antivarians settle into the atomic age, and the space age. Nations still compeate with one another and wars still rage on the planet. The Third Era resembles Earth in the 19th and 20th centuries.
But here is were Antivarian and human development split for there parallel paths. The Antivarians descover fusion power were as the humans destroy there planet. By the year 2345 Antivarians had colonized there home system. In 2360 Crezen Lo'shell invented the first FTL drive and ushered in the Fourth Era.

Lower Fourht Era: The era immediately after the invention of the FTL was on of change and exploration. Antivarian ships sailed across the void in search of new worlds to colonize, millions of colonists flocked from the crowded home system to these new worlds. Independent of each other these colonies grew to become powerful nation in and of them selves.

While the colonies flourished out in space, the Antivarian who wished to stay on the home world were still divided into independent nations, but by 2440 the home world was a united entity. At around the same time two events accord that would forever change the course of Antivarian history. First was the beginning of the Great War, the second was first contact with human refuges.

It was only a matter of time before the independent colonies would start to war. 50 years after the unification of the home world some of the colonies wished to unite together, the home world including, and form a stronger power. Roughly half of the colonies formed the precouser to todays UAR, the United Union of Colonies. The other half saw this new power as a threat to there independence, and making a temporary alliance waged war on the fledgling UUC. for 20 years war raged between the UUC and the Independent Systems Alliance (ISA). Much was destroyed and many believed that this war would end with the extinction of the Antivarian race. The war did end, after twenty years after the final battle over the home world. The UUC was victorious and the UAR was formed from the vanquished ISA.

The next three hundred years saw a massive expansion of the UAR. In this expansion it was inevitable that the would contact other nations, and on one of these contact the UAR made contact with a courios race calling itself humans. The first humans the Antivarians made contact with lived aboard gigantic ship housing millions. After study on both sides, the UAR senate agreed to give the humans several worlds on the Core ward frontiers in a region often called the Reaches.

The humans of the Reaches proved to be very helpful to the UAR. Humans, even though they are weaker and more fragile than Antivarians are nonetheless brave warriors and hard workers. Eventually Humans were considered brothers by the Antivarians and were given full representation in the UAR government. The Lower Fouth Era ended in the year 3154 with the start of the third wave of colonization. With humanity working at there side the UAR feels as if they can take on anything.

Branches:
Navy: The UAR has traditionally had a large navy, consisting of nearly 1,000 ships of the line it still has the capacity to increase even more if need be.
Army: The back bone of all UAR military operations, the army is divided into two sperate groups. The Heavy infantry, which utilize battle suits and mecks, and Light Infantry which are far more numerous and utilize fast moving vehicles and artillery to get the job done.
Special Warfare Group: These are the elite of the military. Were other infatry cant go, the SWG goes. Meant as a counter terrorist.piracy force the SWG excels in urban combat.
The Guard: Another elite organization, the Guard are used from for protecting foreigner dignitaries, government officials, precious cargoes and other important mission that require the utmost sensitivity. As such the use mostly concealed weapons and hand to hand combat.

Species Name: Antivarian.
Appearance: A large humanoid creature. There most prominent feature is there large snouts and overall Aardvark appearance.
Biology/Anatomy: All Antivarians are covered in a fine coat of fur that ranges from light brown to wight depending on what region of the planet the individual hails from. Like all other mammalian species on the planet of Antivar there blood is based on a copper compound instead of a iron compound like hemoglobin. This gives there blood a distinct green color from the oxidized copper.

Antivarian males are clearly identified by there general bulk and towering high. An average Antivarian male is 8.5 feet tall and can weigh nearly 800 pounds, most of it being muscle mass. Females tend to be small, at 6.5 feet tall, and lighter at only 300 pounds.

Antivarian young are called pups. On average a female will have up to three pups per pregnancy.
Natural Abilities: Antivarians on a whole are very strong species. Most of there advantage comes form there shear bulk.
Unnatural abilities: Roughly 2% of Antivarians are born with what is called the Creators Gift. The Gift allows these individuals to enter what is called a battle trance. An Antivarian in a battle trance is a nearly unstoppable killing machine who becomes nearly 3 times as strong as and can heal at unnatural speeds. There are draw backs to the battle trance though, it causes terrible physical pain upon entering and is sometimes unpredictable, with reports of Gifted individuals entering a battle trance unexpectedly and killing there family or other innocent individuals. This trait most commonly expresses its self in male members of the species.
Breathable Gas: Atmosperes with roughly 25% Oxygen are generally comfortable, any less and and Antivarian will have a hard time breathing.

Life Span: Between 80-90 years old, but ages of up to 110 have aren't uncommon. Females tend to live longer than males.
Reproduction: Sexually.
Intelligence Level: Antivarians tend to be on par with humans.
Species Type: Mammalian

Population Percentage: 100%
Notable Individuals:
Crezen Lo'shell: Inventor of the Antivarians first FTL drive, is revered by the species to this day.
The Prophet: A religious figure from the First Era. His teaching have spread through the entire Antivaian people and today his religion is the universal religion of the species.

Brief Description of Species:

The Antivarians evolved on a harsh, arid world. Early Antivarians were hard pressed to find food and water, and they were constantly hunted by the planets cunning predators. It has been theorized that this is the reason the species evolved to be so physically strong and may explain the Gift. This early fight for survival is what shaped the race into what it is today.

On a whole the Antivarian people are very religious, beveling in a universal Creator who made all things, and his opposite, the Destroyer who is currently trapped in his own personnel hell but will on day reek havoc upon this world. Antivarians also believe that those who did good with the time the Creator has given them will join there ancestors in the fabled Painless Realms. As such ancestors are highly venerated in the Antivarian culture.

Antivarians for tight, nearly unbreakable emotional bonds with each other, once you have befriended an Antivarian, the will stick with you to the death. These bonds are in fact the very base upon which the society is built on. The first layer of Antivarina society is the bond between husband and wife, in Antivarian culture this relationship is referred to as Dwelling Mates. A male is expected to provide for his Dwelling Mate and there pups both monetarily, and if need be to defend them from physical harm. The female is responsible for actual investing the wealth brought in by the male and nurturing the pups. This family unite is the single most important thing in the culture.

GENERAL-
NS Nation Name: Ism
Nation Name: The Dargkul Hegemony

Location: The Scutum Veil, between the 310 and 330 degree lines.
Number of Controlled Systems (No more than 60,000): 27,000
Capital (System, Planet, City): Recsum System, Dargkul, Ferik
Government type: Meritocratic Corporatism
History: (a two Paragraph minimum) For aid with dates, to reach the human calendar date, simply add 2,323 to the date. This will give you the date B.C.E.

The Darg's civilization began in 13,035 B.U. (15,358 B.C.E.), when the agricultural revolution erupted across the Darg's home continent of Refik ( there are 9 continets on Dargkul, though the largest is only half the size of Asia) and the continents of Nalk and Turm a millennium later, which were colonized sometime around 11,832 and 11,789 respectively. This, naturally. led to the development of civilizations among the Darg, each developing in different ways, though they all had a strong communal aspect, though some developed strict caste systems (mostly on Turm), others were largely meritocratic (mostly on Refik) or for the most individualistic, direct democracy developed (mostly in city-states and tribal nations or confederations thereof, which existed solely on Nalk).

By 4,000 B.U., 5 civilizations had come to be major powers of the ancient Darg. The Empire of Keldos, a meritocratic monarchy(similar to China under Confucian principles) and The Darokil Syndicate, a meritocratic oligarchy, both of which fought a series of wars for supremacy over Refik, ultimately ending with the destruction of both nations and the degradation of Refik into a large number of feudal principalities and petty kingdoms in 2,870 B.U. On Turm, the Hakim Dominion and Salcot Empire vied for dominance weakening each other significantly over the millennium. Unlike on Refik, however, a third nation rose up in 4,400 B.U., the Kingdom of the Stilz, which rapidly conquered territories from both Turman powers, until it completely dominated the continent in 2,604 B.U.

By 2,000 B.U., Northern Refik entered an industrial revolution, leading to its domination of the south, as well as a rebirth of old Darokilian culture, creating wide-scale desire for unification. Unification did occur, after massive revolutions against the feudal system took place, led by the many Refiki guildmasters, who established themselves as the new lords of Refik, creating a meritocratic system that would go on to dominate the world, though that was still millennia away. Meanwhile, Turm had split into three successor states of Stilz which entered into the War of the Crown, a fight for domination that lasted centuries and exhausted them. On Nalk, the Kul Confederation formed in 1,930 B.U., a confederation of tribal nations and city-states that spanned the whole continent. They colonized a nearby continent, Dahuv, and enjoyed a Golden Age starting in 1,720 B.U.

By 1,000 B.U., The Refiki Syndicate had finally recovered from a massive plague that lasted nearly 60 years, followed immediately by a hurricane destroying much of the nation's burgeoning infrastructure. This heralded the Era of Exploration and Colonization, with three continents, Vikur, Erilk and Sangud, being heavily colonized by 830 B.U., due to the development of antibiotics causing a massive and continual population increase. Meanwhile, Turm's nations had collapsed, leaving dozens of successor states to fight amongst each other. This was further complicated when the Kul Confederation discovered Turm, and in 780 B.U. invaded.

By 600 B.U., The Kul Confederacy dominated Nalk, Dahuv and Turm and entered into an industrial revolution. In 546 B.U., however, the Kul Confederacy was reformed as the Infinite Imperium, and rapidly industrialized. The Refiki Syndicate, meanwhile, expanded even further, now dominating Refiki, Vikur, Erilk, Sangud and Qort, and in 530 B.U. began developing electronics. In 470 B.U., the II and RS both colonized Yavguk, albeit in the east and southwest respectively.

By 380 B.U., they met. It was fine, at first, the colonists on both sides being mutually helpful and kind. But things soured in 334 B.U., when a famine swept the II territory on Yavguk (due to poor agriculture practices, something the Refiki Syndicate had suffered and learned from long ago) and it was blamed on the RF. The War of Unification began 15 years later, in 318 B.U. It would last 317 years, and be the bloodiest war in Dargan history. It was slow, brutal and bloody. The war was lopsided in favor of the RS, but due to internal conflict and corruption, they suffered early losses and struggle to find momentum. But they would, and the war progressed.

By 1 A.U., the war was completely over. The II had surrendered, the RS stood triumphant, but hundreds of millions were dead, and recovery would be long and difficult. But the Darg were at long last, unified.

Over the next 5,000 years, the Refiki Syndicate transformed into the Dargkul Hegmony, a massive spacefaring civilization. The Darg would overcome their sectarian divides and move past divisive issues, while strengthening their dedication to equality, progress, science and culture. Automation, FTL, and thousands of other marvelous developments would bless the DH, from the eradication of poverty to the discovery of extradargkuliar sapient life. Now, the Darkgulians look forward to many more adventures just waiting to be started.

Standard infantry:

Standard Infantry weapon types (Energy Based, Mass Drivers, Missile, Other): Sonic and electrolaser weapons make up the majority of infantry weapons. Coilguns are used for anti-personel and anti-armor weapons, however. Incendiary weapons are also present, mainly in the form of grenades or artillery, using chlorine triflouride fires to cause tremendous and lasting damage. Chemical weaponry is also present, in a similar vein to incendiary weapons.
Standard ship: Light and Heavy Cruisers share this role
Note: All ship descriptions are relative. Light shields, for instance, mean they are light relative to the Darg’s technology. They may be superior or inferior to another nation’s light, intermediate or even heavy shields based on technological differences. Please keep this in mind.
Small Vessels
Fighter- Automated vessel, approximately 10 meters by 8 meters by 4 meters. Armed with twin 80 mm railguns and 2 10 kiloton nuclear bombs (for large vessels), as well as 10 cluster missiles (for small vessels). In emergency situations, fighters can be set to self-destruct, by detonating their payload. They have heavy armor and light shields. These vessels have advanced intelligence programs, allowing them to compete against organic pilots, their reflexes making them highly effective in this regard, however they cannot innovate, and so will simply use the same tactics until it is taught new ones or records new ones.

Carrier- Automated vessel, approximately 18 meters by 10 meters by 4 meters. Lightly armored and heavily shielded, carriers transport 250 drone soldiers. They’re fast and somewhat resilient, though if their shields fail they lack the armor of other vessels to protect them.

Shuttlecraft-Piloted vessel, approximately 25 meters by 10 meters by 6 meters. Heavily armored and shielded, these vessels are extremely durable, and considering they carry organic personnel this protection is warranted. They are not the fastest of vessels, but they can guarantee the safety of their occupants. Shuttlecraft can carry approximately 500 Darg occupants plus the 5 man crew.

Corvette-Piloted vessel, approximately 35 meters by 15 meters by 9 meters. Lightly armored and equipped with a light shield, patrol craft are fast but fragile, an acceptable combination for their intended roles as patrol craft and anti-fighter ships. Their armaments include 80 cluster missiles, 8 railguns and 14 electrolaser batteries. Requires a crew of 15.

Intermediate Vessels
Destroyer- Piloted vessel, approximately 100 meters by 40 meters by 20 meters. Lightly armored and moderately shielded, the destroyer is a resilient ship. It has an armament of 60 cluster missiles, 5 20 kiloton nuclear missiles, 18 electrolaser batteries, 12 railguns and 2 fighter squadrons. Requires a crew of 45.

Supercarrier-Automated vessel, approximately 135 meters by 160 meters. Lightly armored and shielded, these ships are not designed for direct combat, having weak defenses and few offensive batteries, only 15 electrolasers and 5 railguns. However, they are excellent support vessels, having 70 fighter squadrons and 30 carriers. Motherships are completely automated and have no crews, and do not even possess life support systems, having only basic artificial gravity generation for security purposes.

Light Cruiser-Piloted vessel with automation option, approximately 225 meters by 95 meters by 55 meters. With its light armor and heavy shields, the light cruiser is a tough vessel, as well as having high maneuverability. They are armed with 140 cluster missiles, 55 electrolasers, 25 railguns, 15 20 kiloton nuclear missiles and have 10 fighter squadrons. Requires a crew of 200.

Large Vessels
Heavy Cruiser- Piloted vessel with automation option, approximately 630 meters by 160 meters by 90 meters. The heavy cruiser has moderate armor and heavy shields, giving it excellent survivability, and it has good maneuverability too. They are armed with 300 cluster missiles, 105 electrolasers, 85 railguns, 45 80 kiloton nuclear missiles and 25 fighter squadrons. Requires a crew of 450.

Battleship- Piloted vessel with automation option, approximately 920 meters by 280 meters by 150 meters. Battleships are heavily armored and shielded, with poor maneuverability but is able to take a tremendous beating. It is a vessel that is excellent at going toe to toe with other large or heavily armored ships, even those that dwarf the battleship. Battleships are armed with 350 cluster missiles, 150 electrolasers, 130 railguns, 100 80 kiloton nuclear missiles and 15 plasma cannons. However, the battleship has begun to be phased out in favor of the superior battlecruiser. Requires a crew of 675.

Battlecruiser-Piloted vessel with automation option, approximately 1.4 kilometers by 0.42 kilometers by 0.34 kilometers. Battlecruisers have heavy armor and very heavy shielding, but manages to largely retain the maneuverability of the heavy cruiser. It is armed with 350 cluster missiles, 180 electrolasers, 160 railguns, 80 100 kiloton nuclear missiles, 20 plasma cannons and 15 fighter squadrons. Requires a crew of 825.

Capital Ships
Motherships- Piloted ships with automation option, approximately 3 kilometers by 1.4 kilometers by 1 kilometer. Motherships have massive armor and shielding, giving them high survivability even should they be caught in crossfire. They are armed with 500 electrolasers, 450 railguns, 50 plasma cannons, 200 fighter squadrons and 150 carriers and 5 shuttlecrafts (numbers of each vary). Requires crew of 3,400.

Dreadnaughts-Piloted ships with automation option, approximately 9.5 kilometers by 6.8 kilometers by 2 kilometers. Dreadnaughts have heavy armor and the strongest shields Dargkul has ever seen, making them extremely difficult to destroy, and they are also possessed of a surprising amount of maneuverability for its size. They are armed with 2,050 cluster missiles, 900 electrolasers, 850 railguns, 250 150 kiloton bombs, 600 plasma cannons, 100 fighter squadrons and 35 carriers. Requires a crew of 5,500.

Supercruiser-Ship specifications unknown, it has only just begun development. It is, however, intended to be to the dreadnaught what the battlecruiser and light cruiser have been to the battleship and destroyer. Whether that can be accomplished has yet to be seen.

Space Weapon Types(Energy Based, Mass Drivers, Missile, Other): Energy based, mass drivers, missile, nuclear and plasma weaponry are all used by space forces.
Strengths: The Dargkulian military's strengths are its strategic adaptability, extremely powerful shields, large force, advanced technology, large industrial base and large agricultural base.
Weaknesses: The Dargkulian military's weaknesses is its reliance on automation, which leads to tactical rigidity and predictability. Additionally, reliance on shields has led to severe decrease in armor, most notable in intermediate and large spacecraft.

Species Name: Darg
Appearance:

Skin colors vary, but common colors are greens, browns, grays and blues, or a combination thereof. Eye colors are generally orange, brown, yellow or white.
Biology/Anatomy: Darg are cold-blooded amphibious creatures, similar to terrestrial toads. They have a tough, leathery skin, which due to a series of glands is coated in a bitter tasting compound to deter predators. Their powerful hind legs are designed for short, continuous hops, rather than large jumps. This, in addition to their flexible physiques, makes them excellent both at swimming and jumping from tree to tree, vital talents on their swampy homeworld. They have extendable tongues, able to reach out about 8 inches, which helps them catch their food, such as fruits, insects or small fish. They eat this food whole, lacking teeth, relying on a powerful stomach acid to digest their food. The Darg also have senses generally on par with humans, their vision is great even in dim lighting. It is also excellent at catching movement, which along with superhuman reflexes allow the Darg to catch fast flying and swimming insects and fish with their tongues. They have far superior lower body strength compare to humans, but the anatomy oftheir feet and legs makes kicking ineffective unless they hit with the bottom of their foot or feet and their upper bodies are weaker. Their fingers and hands are strong however, affording them a strong grip. They are also much smaller than humans, however, averaging between 1.20 and 1.55 meters in height and 27 to 39 kilograms for males and 23-34 kilograms for females. (4-5 feet, 60-85 pounds and 50-75 pounds)
Natural Abilities: Dargs have superhuman reflexes, with the average reaction time being .09 seconds to a visual stimulus, 0.12 seconds to auditory stimulus and .16 seconds to tactile stimulus.
Unnatural abilities: N/A
Breathable Gas: Nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere, with at least 15 percent oxygen (ideally 29 percent) and 0.71% water vapor (ideally 3-6%). Can also breathe underwater, so long as there is dissolved oxygen present.

Life Span: Approximately 235 (188 terran) years (male) and 250 (200 terran) years (female)
Reproduction: Sexual reproduction resulting in live birth of fraternal twins (usually, sometimes more than two children are born). Mating occurs every 4 (3.2 terran) years.
Intelligence Level: Fully sapient, however this declines in temperatures below 18 (Celsius)/65 (Fahrenheit) degrees and above 51 (Celsius)/125 (Fahrenheit) degrees. They are at their best in humid environments between 29 (Celsius)/85 (Fahrenheit) and 40 (Celsius)/105 (Fahrenheit) degrees.
Species Type: Amphibian (specifically of the Order Anura)

Population Percentage: 79%
Notable Individuals: Chief Guildmaster Urok Ikaj rit Jokul Ikaj

Brief Description of Species: The Darg are a sociable and stubborn species, with strong beliefs in equality and fairness. They enjoy argument and debate on even the most trivial of topics, though they keep this to their personal time. They tend to form strong bonds, desiring close friendship with others. With other species, however, they have had some difficulty in communicating in the past, as their language is extremely difficult for most species to understands, being composed of croaks, groans, whines and grunts which are difficult to differentiate and understand. Meanwhile, they have difficulty using most other languages due to physical difficulties. Furthermore, contact with other species requires the environment be controlled, so as to ensure homeostasis, or the Darg must wear either an energy shield (which can regulate, among other things, the amount of heat energy entering and exiting the shielded area) or an environment suit. As such, translator devices are common among Dargs who expect to be dealing with other species.

Darg naming conventions are as follows. First comes the occupational title, such as Apprentice Manufacturer, followed by the given name, say Ukrot, then the clan name, Rugalk for example, followed by a pat/matronymic indicator rit/ret and then the name of the father/mother (based on prominence or, if both parents are of equal prominence, the parent with the same sex as the child, though the child can also choose a name after reaching the age of maturity, which is 30 [~25 terran] years old).
