Re responded.
Edit: Theyra you can respond and say you translated the message.

Yeah but, they are only going to act if Harnder tells him to.

Eh im just saying so we dont have to wait for him to come online.

Now it's to you.

I'll help kill the highbreed if I'm accepted! Tyranid flood things don't deserve to live.

[Delta Eridanus]

At least in that, we're of a mind.

[Spindle]

Just assume you're accepted for now. If there are any major issues, they'd probably have been raised by now.

Having said that, just how divergent is your tech from the Imperium's? It'd just be neat if we could have an overview of the major differences and any pertinent minor ones, especially since you apparently break the Silica Animus.

I whistle casually.

Look! Something the Florans might get along with!

GENERAL:
NS Nation Name: Void
Nation Name: The Arcturo (Common: "The Living Forest" / Uncommon: "The Trees Who Speak" / Official: "Arcturo" / Unofficial: "The Growth")
Flag: None.
Location: On various planets in the galaxy.
Government Type: Imperial Telepathic: The 'Oldest One' is the Emperor, and the eldest of all Arcturo. The Arcturo communicate flawlessly at the galactic level through 'thoughts' - it is unknown how the Arcturo accomplish this. The Council of Growth makes all decisions which are then approved by the Oldest.
Economic Ideology: None.
History: The Arcturo are a species of sentient plants. More than that, they are sentient tree-like organisms. Their bark is actually a thick, exoskeletal-like armor. Underneath that, they are made of flesh, nerves and bone. The 'Core' is where their brains are located. One Arcturo can make a forest the size of thousands upon thousands of trees. These trees and their branches are mobile, but the trunks and such are not - rendering an Arcturo fixed in position on whatever planet its on, except during the Youth Stage (approx. 500 Solar Years). The Arcturo have been around for a long time; although they cannot recall when they arrived. The Oldest One says It does not remember, and It is in the Elder Stage (approx. 80,000+ Solar Years).

The Arcturo have been observing all other species, even the Florans, for thousands upon thousands of years. They do not care for the petty conflicts of those who are "Flesh." But they are intrigued by the Floran and the Highbreed, seeing them as useful and possible allies. Well, moreso the former than the latter. Nonetheless, the Arcturo communicate with flawless telepathy that can span across the galaxy with ease; this means all Arcturo know what is happening to other Arcturo in a relatively instantaneous manner. When in a Youth Stage, an Arcturo tries to generate as many Thralls as possible to move it, or to take it to a new world if possible. If not, two Arcturo will grow too close together and eventually fuse into one. Arcturo see via their Thralls. If none are available, they can sense heat, air pressure, and atmospheric changes. They can detect sound and interpret it expertly via vibrations or their Thralls' ears, preferably.
Population: 2,000,000 throughout the galaxy.
Species:
Arcturo: The actual entities of the entirety of all Arcturo. They are sentient and sapient, but are immobile, living for thousands upon thousands of years in place until they die or have no further room to grow. In many cases, an Arcturo could eventually grow to forest an entire planet - and thus being only a single Arcturo which owns said planet.
Thralls: Created by those who are connected to an Arcturo's mind via telepathic link. This can only occur if a being is within a forest of Arcturo, or if the Arcturo pokes a tendril into the brain of a being. Either way, Thralls are eventually created.

ECONOMIC:
Ideology: None.
Economy: None.
Manufacturing: Relying on Thralls and their technology, usually.
Agriculture: None needed; the planets feed them just by existing in habitable conditions.

MILITARY:
Population: Unknown; depends on the need of the Arcturo. Thralls are usually used as military forces in offense or planetary-level defense.
Branches: None.
Standard Infantry: See 'Thralls.'
Standard Weapons: Depends on species that have been rendered unto Thralls.
Standard Ship: Depends on species turned into Thralls.
Weapons: Depends on species turned into Thralls.
Strengths: Since they are usually forests, Arcturo are exceptionally hard to kill; and even then, after destroying the forest, one needs to destroy It's "Core," which is where the brain/heart/everything else lives to kill it. That combined with It's telepathic ability to turn other organic species into Thralls after prolonged exposure makes them lethal in their territory.
Weaknesses: A forest cannot move. If you stay far away, you're safe as long as no Thralls are near or on planet.

Just felt like making it to bring new allies for the Florans. These ones are more agreeable than the Highbreed, who just want to consume all organic sentient-sapient life. Not only that, but I feel as though the Arcturo will find a way to be helpful in the longrun for everyone. Note: telepathic abilities are where they begin and end with Arcturo. Due to their extremely powerful telepathy, psionic abilities to do with influencing minds doesn't work on them; and they're the best at doing it to others. More than likely, anyways..

Upcoming galactic war!

Also, I may or may not manage to get a post up today, depending. Sorry about that.

[The V O I D]

It's alright, Spin.

[Aterrian Union]

Alright, here's the basic overview of our tech.

As far as civilian life goes, everything is pretty standard for you typical advanced sci fi setting. The City World is what you'd expect of one: large towers. sprawling communites, and lots of manufacturing.

Military tech ranges from improved Imperial Tech (laser rifle) to really advanced tech (particle flayer, singularity cannon). Everthing in general looks somewhat crude, but looks can be decieving. Our laser rifles look pretty bad, but a single high power shot can go clean through most power armor. Our troops don't often have energy shielding, and wear what look like full body flak armor. This "flak armor" though is actually quite protective, and can shrug off incoming fire decently well.

Now, the advanced tech on Arcturus 3 takes everything to a new level. The UASWR (nation Arcturus came from) was hyper-advanced when it came to science. Dimensional engineering was present on some worlds. The Science world here isn't as particularly advanced as those mentioned, but contains all sorts of equipment, most notably its the only place that makes dark matter manipulators (turn dark matter into ships and other things). Think Dark age of Tech humans with more stuff.

Tech isn't distributed too evenly, which makes Arcturus 1 and Arcturus 3 completely different entities.

And remember, the society this system comes from is set in an alternate 40k universe. The UASWR originally fought the Imperium and defeated it. All upper class and nobles then disappeared mysteriously. The First Citizen, the UASWR's ruler, loved science and advancement. He disbanded the Mechanicus and replaced it with UTD (Union Tech and Development). All UASWR citizens are fiercely patriotic and love socialism + equality.

**Our warships are huge and pretty ugly, if you don't like big long boxes. They can take quite a beating though. The Capital ship of the fleet is the 250km Super Dreadnaught Dawn of Retribution. It looks like a giant star destroyer of the sorts.

Yo, Harndar, I think you posted in the wrong thread.

That I did.....

[Spindle]

Aaaand a post finally appears! Sorry it took me so long to get so little up.

[The Moscow Metro Red Line]

Sorry, I'll get a post up today. I was busy with a few school related things and I was wandering the Mojave Wasteland with my trusty 9mm and 1st recon beret.

Lyson's starting to crack, in the tiniest of ways. Euphemia might just be getting through to the xenophobe.

[The Armed Republic of Dutch Coolness]

Just gotta do history and my app'll be finished

[The V O I D]

Um, it's been oddly quiet.

[Harndar]

I know right?

[Theyra]

Yeah it is quiet........... So everyone had a good thanksgiving?

[Harndar]

Yeah it is quiet........... So everyone had a good thanksgiving?

Yep... So... Anyone want do something else while we wait for Deramen?

[The V O I D]

I'm waiting on Moscow and Spindle. Still waiting for someone to try and interact with the Ascendancy.
And then I need to wait for the Arcturo to be accepted.

I'll interact with the Ascendancy because I got them new hyperspace engines on a fleet now.

OK then. I'll await your post; I'd prefer it if you appeared at the edge of Ascendant space, please.

[Theyra]

Just a thought Harndar, how would your people feel if they find out that the Coalition was lying to them in some degree and that the farm blueprints are actually old and outdated to the current version that the Coalition has.
