The art of warfare has changed, but the basis has stayed the same. Whoever has the bigger stick wins. It's just the stick that changes.

Essentially yes. Certain aspects of warfare do change. We don't use square formation anymore for instance and swords or obsolete in war. It is the human nature of war that stays consistent.

I'm on it, I'm on it. Here's what I have so far.New Arrivals- New Arrivals are species that have broken out of their homeworld's grasp and have begun to interact with the Galaxy around them. For the most part, their territory is kept to their homeworld, some rather primitive orbital stations, and possibly fledgling colonies on their homeworlds natural satellites and other bodies in their system. Their nations are rather technologically primitive with populations only in the low billions along with rather weak armed forces. This makes them prime targets for more predatory species of the Galaxy. Fortunately, it is illegal for older nations of the Galaxy to forcefully annex these new nations and can face extreme economical penalties and even war. These nations also receive great amounts of aid from the Galactic Concordat to help them establish themselves in the Galaxy such as funding, technological aid, protection, and colonization rights to planets outside of their home system.
Solar System Nations- These nations, while still young, have a better grasp on their place in the galaxy. They have gained full mastery of their system, with growing and stable colonies across the system and are beginning to explore outside colonization options. Their population, while growing, is still small and barely reaching above 15 Billion at best. However, they are better able to defend themselves as they have started developing technology capable of standing up to the powers of the Galaxy. Still, they are still protected by the Galactic Concordat but have begun to take up most of the defense duties. Their growing markets also make them attractive to outside investments but can lead to less reputable people to exploiting that.
Multi System Nations- These nations are fully fledged members of the galactic community. No longer must they require the aid of the Galactic Concordat, but can now defend themselves and pursue their own interests. The Home System is fully exploited, often being the center of their civilization. Their other systems vary in quality, often those older and closer to their Home System are more populous and in closer level to the Home System and firmly under their control, while those on the edges of their borders are often sparsely populated and have little oversight from the government, sometimes bringing attention from insurrectionists and pirates alike. These nations come in a variety of sizes, from little over a dozen systems to some in the low one or two hundreds. Their populations also reflect this, either staying rather under 50 Billion or up into 500 Billion, but the more populous, the more problems arise. They're technology has reached a stage common among the galactic community with a few nations becoming trailblazers in new technology.
Criminal State- Criminal States are made out of the lower edges of community, pirates, mercenaries, smugglers, and other outcasts. Throughout history, these groups have come together and have spread chaos and disorder throughout the galaxy. Fortunately, these groups are short lived either due to the Galactic Community taking them down or the ambitions of their base overtaking them. They often have a major hand in the criminal dealings of the galaxy, and can become a major threat if not dealt with.
Current Super Powers- Out of the masses of Multi-State Systems, few rise up and make their mark on the galaxy more distinct. These states become the Super Powers of the Galaxy, leaders of the Galaxy and examples to the lesser nations. Their empires are stable and large, often controlling thousands of Systems and have a good handle on their security. They often are the creators of the Galaxies top of the line technology and their armies are formidable, but their real power is in their influence. These nations can change the course of galactic history into their own image, either leading it to peaceful existence among all species, or install supremacy over all. The reign of a super power is not easy, however. Often, rivals arise in unison with them, often with differing ideals that lead to tension and possible conflict, not to mention upstart smaller nations may wish more for their people then just another face wandering the cosmos. The reign of a Super Power can be brief, but those with determination can last a million years.
Ancient Powers- These nations are old and primordial. Their peers of their time long gone, and their deeds logged deep in the archives. These nations have been around for hundreds of thousands, possibly millions of years. Their technology often eclipses even the Super Powers of the Galaxy, but their time has come and gone. They interact with few outside their space and while their territory is large, it is a mere shadow of its former self.Earth
Star Cluster: Local Star Cluster
System: Sol System
Orbital Period: 1 Earth Year
Day Length: 24 Earth Hours
Radius: 6,371 Km
Satellites: Luna
Population: 10 Million Humans, small populations from various research teams.
Capital: None
Description:
Earth is the old Home world of Humanity. The planet is a shadow of its former self as the biosphere has been drastically damaged and the once large population has either died or fled to new worlds across the Galaxy. Now, the only life that remains are those that refuse to die. The few remaining humans have gone back to their hunter gatherer roots, hunting the remaining game and scavenging the ruins of the their world. Multiple outside parties have visited the ruined planet as well, from humans returning to the planet as a sort of Pilgrimage and Aliens studying the origins of one of the Galaxies most populous species.
Olympus (Human Translation)
Star Cluster: Dera Star Cluster
System: Vacif System
Orbital Period: 390 Days
Day Length: 27 Earth Hours
Radius: 16,249 Km
Satellites: The Shell
Population: 5.5 Billion on the Planet, 4 Billion living across the Shell.
Capital: Sanctuary
Description:
Olympus, as the Humans call it, is the center of Galactic politics and diplomacy. The planet was artificially created 25 Million years ago by the original founders of the Galactic Concordat, with what has become known as the shell being created as a planetary defense 5 million years later during the Vax'yi Invasion. Now, after centuries of decay, the Shell has been reused as living space for a growing population. Almost every species in the Galaxy has some sort of presence here, living side by side with their counterparts of other nations.
