Depths of Space: The Uncertain Future (OOC, Open)

[Veroxia]

Hey guys, maybe we should try another big get together like the one at the beginning. I'm thinking like a World's fair scenario on Jakala in the Federation. It could serve as a platform for everyone to show off their unique technology.

Ooooh...here's to hoping there's less assassination.

Well, in that case I'll mass produce planet buster and put them on FTL missiles by the thousands. That should do it.

Really? You want a weapon which can destroy an entire solar system at once or an armada of FTL planet-destroying missiles? Look, we get it. Your phallus is smaller than average. Now, please, do something interesting. Or original. Or even sensible, if you're feeling up to the challenge.

no promises on assassination attempts though

No assassinations. I'd like for this to be a peaceful event.

Fine. I guess I'll send in some diplomats and stuff.a DJ, some balloons, a bunch of wine and food, it's gonna be gr8 m8

Alright. I'll put the assassins back where I found them...

Hey, Spindle, just a question - since interspecies marriage is legal and all, I'm curious, what's the ISC's stance on LGBT marriage and other rights like that?
Kriegsman probably wouldn't alter those parts of the Constitution for the ISC, as he's only interested in giving himself and the Imperial Parliament more power as well as trying to expand the Commonwealth's borders.

I wouldn't think the ISC recognises gender as a legally defining thing. I don't know how that would work with things like public toilets, but I'd assume the government takes a fairly hands-off approach to gender in life. Like, you want to be a woman? Cool, just go get the surgery and they'll inform the government for you.

Ah. So, basically, an apathetic stance?

Yeah. I should probably have said 'don't ask, don't tell', but screw it.

Sounds good. So that really means the only ones being persecuted/discriminated against/treated very poorly by Kriegsman are the Cho'Dosan...

[The Greater Gambia]

I'll get a post up within the hour. Tired from a walk, 65 and feels like 65 my ass!

[The Greater Gambia]

Yo Pret, posted. Earliest convience, please.

[The Empire of Pretantia]

Yo Pret, posted. Earliest convience, please.

One day, but not today.

Or maybe today. I don't know. I'll check with my secretary.

[The V O I D]

Gambia, plz post? You said you would. Sorry to sound impatient but...

[The Greater Gambia]

Yo Pret, posted. Earliest convience, please.

One day, but not today.

Or maybe today. I don't know. I'll check with my secretary.

No worries. V O I D, I'll start on your post now, just woke up.

[The Imperial Citizens Alliance]

Are there any ways for me to get involved as of now? For the meantime though, I need to update my military factbooks.

[Barreiva]

Finally made my first IC post! Setting up story

[The Orson Empire]

So Orson, should we have a official diplomatic meeting?

Yes, we should.

By the way, for people who are wondering:

Vedon [as in Kae'Vedon, the Chief General of the Spear]: the Blood-Clan of the Yaan who were the main supporters and such when it concerned the creation of the Highbreed. They aren't above supporting genocide, and are often considered the most radical of the Blood-Clans.

LeDosiir: Blood-Clan who was against creation of the Highbreed. They are pacifists, often trying to find diplomatic solutions to the Federation's problems. All of them still undergo standard military training so as to not shame their Blood-Clan, but if they can avoid a fight, they will.

Natis: Blood-Clan that didn't vote for or against the Highbreed, and they rarely get Senators too. They're somewhat neutralist and apathetic, not caring one way or the other, but if the Federation is threatened, they usually wait to see whether war or peace is the dominant vote before casting their own vote - if they can vote, that is.

Vees: Blood-Clan that advocates the reclamation of the Federation's old territories [pretty much the entire southern half of the galaxy at large, maybe more]. They are extremely expansionist. Some Vees Clan members disagree with this, but most more often than not support using sabotage, manipulation, etc. to try and expand territories.

Taidon: Blood-Clan that believes that the galaxy should be left alone entirely, and that the Federation should take an isolationist stance; willing to participate in diplomacy to establish trade at minimum.

Ori: Blood-Clan who supported the war with the Kelraaza, which led to the eventual creation of the Highbreed. Infamous Blood-Clan, and somewhat shamed - if they get close to the Federal Senate, most times they're immediately elected to Federal Councillor so as to remove all of their power for national affairs concerning the Federation. Ironically, the Vedon Clan did not receive such punishment, as the Ori Clan is seen as responsible for the 'Outbreak' and the Highbreed's creation by sparking the Kelraaza War in the first place.

Have you given up on the prequel?

It kind of died. Sorry. I failed.

Nah, it's okay. It's just kind of pointless to have two identical RPs running at once.

I have one problem with this, in my app for the Kelraaza, I said that the Kelraaza had an Empire that spanned the entire south of the Galaxy and it was pretty entrenched. It's a bit of a problem to say that the Southern Galaxy belonged to the Yaan.

Edit: And that the creators were of smaller territory and less advanced (still way more advanced than most modern nations), but fought tenaciously for 100 years before the High Breed were created.

Then let's say they were in the North and moved South to escape the Highbreed, and that's how they got where they are. Also, the Yaan weren't less advanced than the Kelraaza - pretty sure we established they were equals in tech. So, the Highbreed were the Yaan's endgame - their way to try and out-do the Kelraaza. It just backfired and the galaxy paid for it... ten times...

But we never really did establish that. Sure, now they would be or would be beyond Kelraaza tech because they haven't really been advancing that much for the past few million years. Also, why would they move sout and cause war with the Highbreed if they created it to fight the Kelraaza?

No, no. I'm saying when the Highbreed turned on them and began eating both the Kelraaza and them mercilessly, they retreated to the south where they are now to hide away from the Highbreed, which evidently worked out for them. As for the other thing, the Yaan were able to fight toe-to-toe with the Kelraaza, obviously, otherwise they wouldn't of needed the Highbreed because the Kelraaza would be weaker than them, or if they were weaker than the Kelraaza they wouldn't have been able to make the Highbreed as they did.
