"Infinitus Dominium" Grand OOC

[Nyte]

I suppose that is where my confusion lies. For one, I've never read Lovecraft. And to me, that defense mechanism seems more as an offensive mechanism. I say that because to me, it seems that something that makes someone go blind or mad if they look directly at it would make me want to remove the possibility of coming in contact with it through... explosive means if necessary.

Edit: As a side note, I've been writing up an RP post that has to do with piracy in Principality space. I will try to get it out sometime today in the spirit of the US' Talk like a Pirate Day, but I can make no promises. It would be an interesting intro for any nation that is actively exploring, if I do say so myself.

Arr, it's a pity I'll be working most of the day... I do intend to see how many people I can keelhaul annoy by talking like a pirate though...

[Yortini Systems]

Excellent. Yort, do you want to write the OP for the intro or shall I?

Hmm, that depends. Should it start with the refugees deciding to return, or the Artificials discovering a strange object approaching Ethlan space?

How do you guys like this idea for a race in the Rithian republic?

Okay, in the Gaiaverse, there is this race just known as the Engineers.They are a highly advanced race of Energy beings stuck in armor.They have pretty much figured out the entire galaxy in terms of Science. Expect one. How to show emotion and feel like a thing not stuck in armor (I'm not sure how to put this). They have spent centuries trying to figure this out, and still haven't, as they sound like Robots.

Also, this is for the galactic history of the Gaiaverse, what is better? The Engineers coming into this galaxy running away from the Swarm, or being built by the Precursors to help them build technology?

It sounds quite silly - also, I'm not sure if intergalactic applications are even allowed.

[The Holy Dominion of Inesea]

*My NS Flag*
Civilization Name: The Republic of Inesean Commonwealths
Civilization Age: As a Unified Government, 3,072 years. As a spacefaring(Extra-Solar) Government, 2,805 Years

Government Type: The Republic of Inesean Commonwealths is a union of of Coomonwealths that retain limited Social and Political control and have delegated Military and Economical control to the Republican Senate. Each Commonwealth is composed of a single populated system and usually administers to several other uninhabited systems. The governing body is the Republican Senate, which is based on the Capitol planet of Aryaal. The President of the Republican Senate is the Elector Maximus and the Head of State is the Governor of the Aryaalic Commonwealth. The Governor is a titular position, as the Elector Maximus and Republican Senate retains most of the powers.
Government Information: The current Elector Maximus is Hark Romanov. His House the Romanovs, are an old powerful House. The Republican Senate consists of 5 senators from each Commonwealth, of whom three are elected and three appointed. The individual Commonwealths are led by a President/Governor/Prefect who is the head of the local Commonwealth Congress. These pass laws concerning social and political issues inside the system, as well as enact laws to accommodate and enforce Senatorial Edicts.
Government Status: Currently following a controversial bill passage that granted the Republican Senate the ability to regulate all forms of commerce in all regions.
Population: 47 Inhabited Systems with a sum total of 450 billion citizens.

Home World/Capitol: Nahuatl Center, Aryaal, Arya System, Aryaalic Commonwealth
Capital Status: The local economy is largely devoted to supporting the government on planet and the construction of space vessels in orbit. There is some early signs of overcrowding in cities brought on by the Housing Bubble Collapse in rural communities several years past.
Notable locations and such:Aryaal, The Great Divide(Super Dense Gas Cloud), The Brothers(Binary System), Popocatepetl Orbital Yards
Founding Species: Humans of the Inesean Race.
Other Species: None
=========================================================
Society and Cultural information: The Ineseans possess a deep sense of Morality, and often seek internal spiritual guidance when debating questions. However, tolerance is another high virtue, with no Inesean being discriminated. However, this rarely extends to non-Ineseans, and contact outside of the Republic is quite low, but there.
Society StatusContent
Languages Inesean (Russian and Spanish mix)
Economy: 6 as recovery is slow from a series of Housing Bubble bursts across most Commonwealths
Industry: 6, Ineseans tend to try to make things efficient and economical. Starships, for example, rarely exceed 400 meters. This ancient mindset has made the Industrial Base small, however high efficient and economical.
Production/Construction:8 The Inesean ability to construct and produce thing that are efficient and effective is quite exceptional.

Soopah Powah: The Celestial Forge, a shipyard in artificial orbit of Aryaal’s sun that draws power straight from it to break down asteroids that are tugged to it and then assemble ships for the Commonwealth Navy
Specialties/Advanced Sciences: Rapid and Efficient Recyclers that allow all waste to be put to use, advanced medical technologies
Strengths: Efficient, Stable, Strong National Identity
Weaknesses: Ineseans tend to be complacent when it comes to innovationg. They will improve and advance a technology to its zenith, but will rarely develop new ones.
=========================================================
Map Claim Size: 6
Grid Coordinates:In (X,Y) format. (V,Y)(V,X)(V,W)(W,Y)(W,X)(W,W)
Map Claim Color: orange

Holdings/Territory: 47 inhabited systems, hundred claimed yet unihabited

Colonization/expansion: There is no organized central colonization. A survivable planet will be discovered and citizens from nearby Commonwealths, or the Commonwealth it is in will slowly go there, lured by potential prospects. After the planet or planetoid obtains 1 million citizens, the planet will move from the regional Commonwealth or Colonial Governor’s rule to that of a Select Congress decided by the senate. After 5 years, it either becomes it’s own Commonwealth, or a Client State to another.

=========================================================
Foreign policy: The sparse interactions are purely economical and quick. Ineseans tend to distrust non Ineseans
Diplomacy: Pavlostani?
Technological Age:New Republic Era
FTL Capabilities: Phase Space Generators allow for FTL. Phase Cannons around key planets can propel ships much faster, but are expensive.
Inter Planetary TravelVia shuttle(in System) or Phase Jump.
=========================================================
Military Information: The Commonwealth each possess their own Commonwealth Defense Forces which operate under the President/Prefect/Governor and are placed under the control of the Republican Exploration and Defense Forces in times of need. The Republican Army and Navy are roughly equal in size to the combined Commonwealth Defense Forces.
Doctrine: The Elector Bellicus presides over the military, under him are Regional Admirals and Generals. All Inesean Forces are known for their quick, preemptive deadly attack style.

Army: Hovercraft and pinpoint artillery are the most commonly used units. The highest ranking Officer is Marshall Yuri.
Navy: The Navy is composed of many ships between 150 and 400 meters that form the roles of both Cruiser and Frigate. They are the backbone of the fleet and carry a few fighters. The few carriers are 600 meters long and carry many craft. Small Fast and Strong is the unofficial creed.
Strengths: Capable of Force Appropriate Responses almost anywhere
Weaknesses: The on average small size of an Inesean ship of war makes it incredibly vulnerable to slugmatches.
=========================================================
NS activity:Daily
Technological Bases: Star Wars and Sins of a Solar Empire

As Caecuser said, it sounds extremely cliched and If I may, like a potential godmod. A race with nearly infinite knowledge? Please, that screams unfair advantage. Their lack of emotion doesnt make them any less useful, so I would totally reject it.

That was a exaggeration, it basically me saying that are really advanced.

In the Gaiaverse, they are a peaceful race, and just like researching stuff.

That mainly was me trying to give them personality.

[Pensalum]

Would it be silly or grating to speak in old timey English? I'm talking full out thou, thy, thee, and strangely structured sentence.

EDIT: shoot, this is Yortini's puppet. I keep doing that.

I don't quite see how being advanced or emotionless gives them personality - in fact it probably makes them stale and boring by most standards.

So long as "old timey" means Elizabethan English, so be it. However, middle English is truly a pain to read from my experience with Chaucer, so no middle English.

No don't worry, no Middle or Old English. I meant like bible speak.

It's called Elizabethan English. I don't really appreciate demeaning religious holy books, even if it isn't my own.

I think I'm going to use the ones from FT-B, so humanoid with vestigial horns (think Zabrak).

@ Zeinbrad
I would just like to say, even if they are one race out of many, your entire empire as a whole recieves the technological advantage of these scientists. So, you still have an uber advantage in terms of research, so I would still reject it, even if they were to be peaceful.

Doth thy mother know, thou weareth her drapes? I think trying to read that would get grating really fast. I know that if I had to read Shakespeare one more time I'd probably hang myself...

Read "Ruled Brittania" by Turtledove. He makes Elizabethan vocabulary live.

Also, for those who were interested in my previous RP idea: I present our first ID RP, classically named. Feel free to post as you wish, I'll be providing context ICly as I feel necessary; the rest is up to your interactions over the good times that are about to roll.

I see.

Through in the Gaiaverse, they have light and binary rifles,but those are last ditch weapons.

They mostly let war droids and mercanaries do the fighting for them.
