(I've had these ideas crawling in and out of my head like some kind of non-ME2 referencing analogy for a while now, without any way to really express them until this flu set in, and I had the time and motivation to make this thread. This is what I imagine will become of Ramsetia by the time of FT. It likely will not be as detailed as my Alltech/MT factbook, likely due to the fact that, well, the nation's now a group of starships instead of a proper nation, and that takes a bit more effort to write. If anyone has any ideas on how to improve this, or my other factbook (The link is in my signature) Feel free to Telegramme me. Now, on with the thread.)
Incoming Transmission - Source - Ramset Capitol Ship 'Helena'
In an effort to open relations, and to limit any confusion or fear our presence may cause in this sector, the refugee fleet has decided to expend exactly 32.3 TQ of data storage capacity in order to open, maintain, and expand this factbook. Our intent is to open a diplomatic path for our fleet, in the hopes of finding, and founding a new home planet.
We were ejected, perhaps fairly, from earth several generations ago. Our local biosphere had become...alien to the rest of the world, and several Xenophobic groups were eager to access the mineral wealth under our nation's sands. This resulted in the 'survive' project, a genetic and biological engineering event on an unprecedented scale.
Two vessels were created by the time our ejection was finalised. The Ramset Defence force was all but obliterated in a valiant last stand to give myself, and the 'Rosa' time to launch. Since that time, several more vessels have been born, and from only three million Ramset, our population has increased to a level that we may once more call ourselves a nation.
However, we are a nation without a home. Forced to live our lives on starships, drifting from system to system in hopes of building ourselves a home once again. Our human ancestry all but lost to our current genetic buildup, accellerated evolution and interbreeding between species, enabled by our former national animal, the Disco Dice.
I digress. Our fleet intends no harm, but will defend itself should we be attacked. We may no longer be human, but we have records of earthen history and religions. We posses no natural resources, though our biotech and medecine are all but unrivalled, should we need to pay our way.
I look forwards to a peaceful interaction.
