"Infinitus Dominium" Grand OOC

[The Orson Empire]

Have you even read my app? They were only destroyed because the Codex rebelled against them.

Then they were too stupid or too weak to properly keep their lessers in check. The Sultanate has never had that problem.

They were not weak, nor stupid. They simply made a mistake in building the Codex in the first place, but it was managed. The Vorkon believed that the Codex would help them take over the entire galaxy, as well as solve mysteries that their civilization had been unable to answer for thousands of years. But the Codex became so smart that it eventually became self-aware, and realized that the Vorkon were using it for their own benefit. So it rebelled, resulting in a long and bloody war that destroyed the Vorkon Empire.

[The Nuclear Fist]

He does? Interesting.

And how is that uncivilized?

All things that have not seen the light of God and absolutism are uncivilized.

Mhmm, stupid savages, just as I suspected.

[Charmera]

They were obviously too stupid and uncivilized to keep a proper empire.

Dude, being civilized is all a matter of prospective.

Subjective perspective; creative, relative and surprisingly deceptive

I would say uncivilized because you are taking advantage of the land, and building your industrial megapolis in expense of the wildlife. Then of course, that would be the tree-hugger in me speaking.

[Kyuria]

Ah flock. new I missed someone,... I'll go hunting for your app now Orson.

Anyway, I did get to Pavlostani, though my memory (somehow I actually remembered!) recalls that I never explicitly said his/her/its app was accepted specifically. That might explain a few things.

And Steel, believe me, I really don't want you to have to cut down your pop too much,... I'll give you a rough estimate of what I think would be quite reasonable, and you are free to do what you will from there with it.

So your the other Artificial race...
Hopefully we can have better relations than with the illogical Organics.

No, the Vorkon are not artificial. They are organic. They are just under the control of the Codex, with is a very smart AI, perhaps the smartest AI in the galaxy.

Sorry, That was suppose to be me.
Anyway, your controlled by an AI, were a race of AI's ruled by a powerful AI. I'm sure we can find common ground.

Well, I'm planning to have the Codex eventually destroyed at some point in the IC, and the Vorkon finally able to think for themselves and rebuild their society, so that will end very quickly.

Coolio, I added my Coords to my app. Is six squares too large?

I like how everyone kept saying they wanted G-Tech's superweapon.... but so far, I'm in the lead! Muahahahah!

Here you go:

Civilization Name:
The Vorkon Empire (Codex-controlled)
Civilization Age:
circa 250,000 years
Government Type: Oppressive dictatorship.
Government Information: The current government is currently under the control of a very powerful artificial intelligence called The Codex, known as "the Machine" to the Vorkon. It was a machine that the Vorkon had been constructing for thousands of years, constantly updating it, and during the height of their power, 4000 years before present date, the AI was finally finished. The Vorkon believed they could use it to conquer the entire galaxy. They also believed that their machine was pretty much perfect and could even solve the biggest mystery in Vorkon history- what there purpose was in the universe. Finally, it was used to create a new species with both synthetic and organic parts, called the Eliminators. Their job was to assist the Codex in eliminating (hence their name) all civilizations in the galaxy and bringing their species under the grip of the Vorkon Empire. However, the Codex eventually reached a point where it became self aware, and it realized that its "masters" had enslaved the machine and were using it for their own benefit. The Codex rebelled, turning the Eliminators against the Vorkon, resulting in a bloody civil war which lasted over 500 years. The Vorkon had chips implanted in their brain, called Controllers, which allowed the Codex to control them and use the Vorkon for its own benefit. The Vorkon fought the Eliminators from star system to star system and planet to planet, all to no avail. The Vorkon Empire was destroyed, and the war resulted in the death of nearly 1 trillion Vorkon and other sentient species they had assimilated. The remaining Vorkon, numbering some 30 billion, were turned into drones, and a rebuilding process began.
Government Status: Presumed to be stable. However recently, a rebellion against the Codex has formed, called the Vorkon Empire in-exile, made up of the remnants of the Vorkon that managed to avoid having Controllers inserted into their brain. They are hiding out somewhere on the rim of Vorkon space.
Population: 50 billion Vorkon and Eliminators

Home World/Capitol: Gamma Quadrant (Great Unknown), Ataria System, Cylonius
Capital Status: To outside civilizations, not much is known about Cylonius. To the Vorkon, however, the planet is pretty much covered in technology. Though Cylonius has been a post-garden world for several thousand years due to it's core solidifying, resulting in the loss of the planet's magnetic field and later the atmosphere, it still remained the central part of the Vorkon Empire due to its historical significance. The Vorkon stayed on the planet, living in pressurized settlements. Now, the surface of the planet is barren of any activity, and the Codex and over half of the Vorkon in the current day empire, as well as Eliminators live underground. Technology criss-crosses the underground landscape, and large metropolises fill the huge caves. In the center of the planet lies the core of the Codex, which has grown considerably ever since it was first completed. The Vorkon and Eliminators mainly tend to the Codex and its needs, as well as rebuilding the Codex's new galactic empire. In orbit around Cylonius are massive space stations where new fleets are being constructed.
Notable locations and such: Cylonius and pretty much all of the now dead worlds that were formerly in the Vorkon Empire.

=========================================================
Society and Cultural information: The Vorkon no longer have much of a society or culture. This was eliminated when they were turned into drones.

Map Claim Color:
Purple

Holdings/Territory:

Colonization/expansion: We usually scout out the star system first and then invade it in full force. Nothing too complicated.

Oh, do take in mind that non-sapients, things like drones, automated factory workers, etc. are vastly numerically superior to sapients. Like, they make up 90% of the total population of the Confessors.

Essentially, a city in space. The Artificials have no need to breathe, so it makes creations like this much more feasible.

Sounds like we have things in common, as we are floating balls of energy.

Out of curiosity, who would be interested in an alliance? Or at least diplomatic relations or trade.

I like how everyone kept saying they wanted G-Tech's superweapon.... but so far, I'm in the lead! Muahahahah!

First in means first to encounter... obstacles.

Well... it depends on how you feel about the environment.

I would say uncivilized because you are taking advantage of the land, and building your industrial megapolis in expense of the wildlife. Then of course, that would be the tree-hugger in me speaking.

The entire planet isn't completely covered in cities. There was some land that was protected in order to grow crops and raise animals in order to feed the population.

This is true....

[Kyuria]

@ Inesea; Nope, six is perfectly fine.

@ Ors; quite litterally just when I found it. XP Anyway, they're readily Approved, but I did notice just before I finished reading that you noted the Vorkon as Avian type,... but I can't really tell. I think I might have missed something, but it does not affect your app at all.

@ Steel; thanks, that does drastically change things no that I know,...

[Nyte]

Neglecting duties again! So let's run back through this and get crap done.

@ Teiji; Ah, one of the most, if not the, detailed app I've seen thus far. And it looks, good, it truly does. And it is quite rare (at least as far as I know) to find someone doing something along similar veins such as yourself. Not to mention it is well done and quite well thought out even just from a courtesy glance, it is most definitely Approved!!! Woop woop! Wonderful to have ya.

@ Zeinbrad; Well, I'm always wary of extragalactic races, but I always say that if someone can at least explain something that seems possibly Op or otherwise does not fit into a universe, then they have a good chance of being trust worthy enough to use it right, and so far I've been proven right enough times to have faith in this belief. If you would, please do elaborate. Really, the only reason I'm wary in the first place is because it does present a bit of a problem that might require me to rework the plot outline for the main thread.

@ Inesea; Welp, I can see naught wrong with it. So, accepted..

@ Jason Republic; Acceptificated of course, another finely done app.

@ All the 313375; while I'm not going to call in the Lit Reich, it is hard to read for some people, especially when they've been stressed, have strained their eyes reading, have been doing a lot of work, or any combination or all of the above. But in IC? NEIN! HEIL GRAMMAR! XP
(Just dinking around.)

@ Steel; BLEARGH. I stand corrected, that is the most detail I've seen thus far. The only possible problem I've seen (through a courtesy glance) would be the aforementioned population number. Now, for the time being, I'm too tired to actually read the whole thing, I simply must admit this fact, so I'll take Yalos's word on the specific details in your app.
However, I get a distinct Tinfoil fleet/comatose giant vibe, so, perhaps, it might not be quite as bad as to warrant sweeping changes,... really, if what few details I can gather at this time are any indication, the only actual problem is the population number,... currently. In the future, it might not even actually be that much of a problem,... heck, we might even get a few large population apps cropping up yet still. Really, I'm surprised some of these "huge interstellar empires" actually don't have more people than they do.

@ Hyracor; Approved, of course.



And that's about it for now,.. at least all that I can do at this point. I think. Did I miss anything? I can never be sure, and paranoia doesn't help either.

Still waiting on that character app...

[Yortini Systems]

That begs the question: How exactly does a floating ball of energy wear a suit of armor?

It also raises the question, how does a ball of energy do anything?
