Oh right. Still gotta make an info sheet.

Hm...

Short overview of your faction/nation: (origins, history, government type etc.)

The history of the Mahárlikan Galactic Empire began with the 2nd Golden Age of Mahárlika: under the supervision of the Mahárlikan Galactic Federation, the nation spread out across the galaxy: exploring, settling, discovering. For two centuries Filipinos enjoyed an age of unprecedented peace and prosperity. But it was not to last. The great Mahárlikan Galactic Federation was decaying, rotting from the inside.

Desperate to restore their nation to its former glory, the people of the Federation turned to a war hero-turned-politician to guide them. Rudolfo de Trastámara was elected to Parliament. He founded the National Reform Alliance, a radical right-wing political party that gained complete control of the Federation government in a single decade. The NRA propelled Rudolf to the heights of Federation power: he was both the Prime Minister and the President of the Federation — and the single most powerful man in Mahárlikan history, due to taking advantage of a loophole that did not explicitly forbid the same person from holding both positions at the same time.

Rudolfo's determination and will became the guiding light of the Mahárlikan Galactic Federation. His reforms curtailed many basic freedoms of the Federation citizens, yes, but crime and delinquency rates fell to unheard of lows. Rudolfo declared himself "president for life," and the people cheered. Two years later, he proclaimed himself the first emperor of the Mahárlikan Galactic Empire, and there were endless parades in his honor.

[spoiler=Neo-Maharlikan Galactic Empire]
The Empire saw numerous democratic reforms upon the ascension of the 37th Emperor Jose II,These reforms were instigated by the newly-appointed Prime Minister, Júlio César de Enerio , who set about restoring to the people the various rights and liberties that had been stripped from them by Emperor Rudolfo so many centuries earlier. The Empire's finances were restored through confiscation of the assets of the defeated nobles of the Manila League.

The young Emperor of the empire, Jose II, was abducted by former High Nobles and taken to the Mahárlikan Free Planets Alliance(A rebel state that engaged in war with the Empire for 150 years) , where he became the figurehead of a government-in-exile. This provided Julio with a justification for further military action. In order to punish the remaining high-nobles who had escaped justice at the end of the Imperial Civil War, Julio organized an invasion of the Mahárlikan Free Planets Alliance, code-named Operation Ragnarök.

Shortly after the 8-month old Catalina was crowned Empress of the Galactic Empire, Operation Ragnarök commenced: while the Free Planets Alliance was distracted by a different battle, multiple Imperial fleets penetrated Alliance territory through a certain corridor. The Alliance mustered its forces at the Battle of Rantemario, but were defeated, the High Council surrendered to the Galactic Empire unconditionally.

Hostilities between the Empire and the Alliance were formally ended with a Treaty. The following month,Catalina's regent would abdicate the Imperial throne, and Júlio César de Enerio would become the first emperor of the Neo-Maharlikan Galactic Empire.
Short overview/description of your major non-human species:
Inferior Genes Exclusion Act was applied to racial minorities within the Empire during Rudofo's rule causing extinction to some alien civilizations conquered by the Empire.

Short overview of your faction's technological level: (weaponry, civillian tech etc.)
High tech shet
Lazah pew pew pew
Warp shet weeeeeeeee
Pretty much it, comparable to the most advanced human civilizations.

Actually, I'm going to withdraw. My computer is utterly incapable of running a map at the size that I desired (6000x4800) to create. I'll collaborate instead by giving advice and suggestions to Bav/Rusovits, if he's willing to hear them.

[Stasnov]

Alright, i guess that settles it. Bav (Rusovits) is the mapmaker.

[Rusovits]

How to get yourself on the map, by Bav/Ruso
Do this -> http://i.imgur.com/v9lR8Sj.jpg

Get this

Examples shown are Collectivist Union (Red) and the TCAS (Purple)

Do not mark it in anything other than red. Draw around the systems you want. Not on them. Lastly, include what colour you want. I'd prefer if you can provide the RGB or the Hexcode. The hexcode would be more than appreciated as it will allow any colour. Just try not to pick something the same as your neighbours.

That's all,
Bav/Ruso

Edit: And TG me it. I'll see the TG quicker than I'll see it if it's posted on the thread.

I'm just going to say now, that even if I did have time to make one (which I don't), I am opposed to having a map. I remember there being an inconclusive debate on this, and then there elections as if it was a consensus opinion. I won't be making a plot.


e: I'm also not intending to reopen the debate per se (don't have time for that either). Just making my opinion known, 'tis all.

Faction/Nation name: Koosaavan
Species: Koosaavanite
Number of systems under your control: 1
Number of inhabitable planets under your control: 1
Number of uninhabitable planets under your control: 3
Number of dwarf planets and moons: 1

Short overview of your faction/nation: The Koosaavan are a sentient species of creatures, which conduct mining operations across the universe in massive ships like dis: Koosaavan Mining Ships. Koosaavan's work in these mining ships, and form companies, or Collections. Each Collection is represented at the Yut Council, which is on a small moon named Yut off of the main planet of Aasdakag. The Koosaavan travel across the universe in search of mining opportunities and stuff.
Short overview/description of your major non-human species: The Koosaavanites look like this: Male and female. They generally are opportunistic, cunning, but very large, making it difficult to conduct business with others. They generally can form themselves to look slightly more humanoid. Diplomat Koosaavanites have had surgery to key areas on its body to make it more palatable to humanoid species.
Short overview of your faction's technological level: The technology level is generally mix matched, using items from multiple places to suit their needs. Koosaavanite females naturally carry replenish able energy spines, which launch like rocket artillery. Ships are very mining oriented, so quite dirty, not so crisp and new and clean. Home planet ugly and highly toxic.

It has its pros and cons.

The hardest part is the fact that since a stellar space is 3D, just one dot of claimed territory on a map can have a density of ten-thousand stars, if not more, so when people start claiming swaths of a galaxy, they're claiming millions of stars and untold millions of worlds, when in reality, they're only claiming 20 planets that happen to now be spread over millions of lightyears.

FT maps don't really work on the scale we're playing on, but they work fine on the Star Wars or the WH40K scales.

Since lol!FT we could say that only a slice of space so deep is claimed, since below this slice there is nothing, since a galaxy is really just a hollow sphere with stars on the outside only.

presumably there would only be a certain number of systems that have habitable planets (and/or have been colonized), as would be represented by the white dots bav added

the 'claimed territory' would really just be a sector of space that a given faction holds (mostly) unchallenged control over

That's a fair compromise. I'd just be sure to put that little bit somewhere near the eventual link to the map so people know that that is more of a suggestion of territory rather than a hard line.

Why not use something like the Stellaris Galaxy map?

Short overview of your faction/nation: https://www.nationstates.net/nation=the ... /id=277731
Short overview/description of your major non-human species: N/A
Short overview of your faction's technological level: Intra-system ship travel is taken care of via subluminal engines and microwarp drives. Travel between star systems is accomplished via warp gates set in each system within the federation. Travel to non-Federation systems requires long treks with subluminal engines and microwarp drives for non-military ships. Federation Navy cruisers can achieve slow FTL travel to transit. Seran ships have dispersal armor that refracts thermal and kinetic energy around the ship. Shields do not exist for ships, and for ground forces, bulky shield generators can exist to create barriers and could potentially be man-portable. Naval ships use heavy bombardment railguns for extended-range combat and ground support, as well as an assortment of missiles and cannon, and guns for ship combat. Ground forces use a variety of weaponry, relying on kinetic weapons and conventional aircraft and vehicles. A research project created the Immortals, which act as military commanders as well as special forces. The Immortals were exposed to extended genetic, chemical and cybernetic augmentation.

On a couple planets and found in asteroid belts, a mineral known as Arkite can be found. Arkite is a crystalline mineral that is extremely conductive to energy, acting as both a storage material and focal material for energy. While Arkite hasn't been used yet as a fuel, it is used for energy production on a mass scale. Arkite is also currently being weaponized on a single cruiser for testing purposes.

Tech Bases: Killzone, EVE, Halo

[Versail]

Is there a defined list of no-no techs or are we going on a case by case thing?
I ask because I have been playing Stellaris and am having a uncontrollable urge to experiment.
