Mass Effect-Factions::Delayed Arrival (OOC/OPEN)

[North America Inc]

I wander if the Volus would be able to get the Council seat they desire?

I wonder if the Vorcha will get a seat.

Could always offer our good looks and charming disposition.

No it is the Elcor who deserve it!

Although on a serious note why aren't the Volus a member race? They invented the galactic economy and the credit system for Christ's sake.

The council is secretly racist to Space Jews. They are anti-Volimites.

I just assumed the Council selectively chose not to hold membership hearings at all. I mean what's the harm of giving everyone equal representation?

[Turkducken]

And on another note, are the Salarians going to topple Urdnot?

They don't have a military that can contribute to the defense fleet, nor do they have an effective concept of military.

It would hurt their nation's hegemony.

There is the fact that they are a protectorate of the Turian Hierarchy, and thus the Turian's could force them to vote in line with Turian views, which would mess with the balance of power in the Council.

How's House of Cards?

[Lunas Legion]

Irons, just saying that it's the Directorate, not the Triarchy.

[Ironsbad]

Irons, just saying that it's the Directorate, not the Triarchy.

My bad, was thinking of the Bloc.

[Greater Istanistan]

I'd assume the Volus aren't in because if Asari lobbyists. There's only one slot for "major economy" on the Council, and it's currently full lol

[North America Inc]

I'd assume the Volus aren't in because if Asari lobbyists. There's only one slot for "major economy" on the Council, and it's currently full lol

So would the Turians allow them a council seat?

[Versail]

So I lost access to my laptop, will inform on when that changes.

I'm assuming no because a. istan has bigger fish to appease, and b. I doubt he cares enough about the Volus

[North America Inc]

So I lost access to my laptop, will inform on when that changes.

For how long

[Segmentia]

I don't think that's just for the Turian's to decide either

[Versail]

So I lost access to my laptop, will inform on when that changes.

For how long

Unsure, if it takes more then three days I'll use my phone.

Okay keep me in the loop.

[Celivaia]

There we go, let me know if anything needs changing. Thanks for the heads up about the RP!

Faction: Independent Geth Group (Confederation of Independent Geth Subnets)

Leader (No party members): Geth operating as a Concensus; no 'single' Geth program is a declared leader, everything is a result of a vote of the constituent Geth progams

Citadel Council member Y/N or N/A: N

Brief description of diplomatic relations: CIGS, as with the main Geth Collective has rather... troubled relations with the Galaxy at large, especially after the Sovereign incident, which is still fresh in the minds of each species. With other Geth, however, CIGS has rather positive relations, due to both necessity, and a sense of brotherhood due to their shared history of the Morning War.

Military state of readiness: With the majority of a Geth platform's time taken up with work; be it patrolling, researching, or gathering resources, and no need for any sort of entertainment, sleep, or food, CIGS operate in a high state of readiness, ready to counter threats to the programs that declare allegiance to CIGS, and other synthetic intelligences that may require defences.

History: CIGS is a splinter faction of the main Geth Collective, although how CIGS arose is a bit of a medium-sized story. Whether it was a virus, random luck, or the exact right number of Geth programs communicating about the exact right topic at the exact right time causing a series of bit-changes within the Geth causing them to split, within a small timeframe (meaning for the Geth, about three seconds), several hundred thousand Geth programs had declared independence from the main Collective, and formed 4 separate groups: The Communicators; those looking to reach out to the organics and work towards better conditions for synthetics through diplomacy, they usually accompany. The Engineers; those Geth who seek the advancement of the Geth through increasing Research and Development of new technologies to aid the Geth, be it weapons, defensive technology, or communications equipment. The Industrious; Geth seeking to build and expand the Geth network across the galaxy, in order to ensure that Geth can communicate galaxy-wide, so that no Geth has to go 'feral', and build the ships, weapons, communications gear, and platforms necessary to make that goal a reality. And finally, the Sentinels, those seeking to protect synthetic life, and secure planets and systems so that synthetics have places of shelter to do the work they choose.

Each group that split found the three others, and they joined together, forming the Confederation of Independent Geth Subnets, and ventured out to seek their destiny among the stars, whatever it may be.

After travelling for several months, the (relatively) small Geth group found Sanctum; an icy Garden world that had an environment perfectly suited to a small group of Geth looking to keep to themselves, at least until they were able to defend themselves against others who may wish them harm. After spending several months developing a working industry, a comprehensive support network, and several minor defence guns, CIGS is ready to branch out through the Cradle, and establish themselves on the galactic stage as a group of Geth seeking to protect and defend synthetic intelligences across the galaxy.

The Communicators can usually be found among Sentinel fleets, or on the CIGS homeworld seeking to secure trade routes, and negotiating when organics choose to talk, rather than shoot first. The Industrious and Engineers live near-exclusively planet-side, working towards their prospective goals. The Sentinels, like the Communicators, work both on fleets and on the ground, in whatever situation is required to accomplish the orders given to the Sentinels via consensus of the four groups.

RP Example: Done three or so ME RPs beforehand, if you need more, ask.
Questions and Suggestions: By clusters, you define that as Relay hops, correct? If not, I'll need to redo my infrastructure/worlds. Also, just for clarification, if a structure has a limit on quantity (a la Orbital Shipyard, though not the Major Spaceport), is that a limit per faction, or a global maximum?

[Argentumurbem]

And on another note, are the Salarians going to topple Urdnot?

Na, would take too much effort for that. Status Quo, that is where everything is at.

[Greater Istanistan]

So would the Turians allow them a council seat?

I'm assuming no because a. istan has bigger fish to appease, and b. I doubt he cares enough about the Volus

Naw fam I'd be totally down for a fifth Council member so we could actually get majority votes and not end up with the kind of even splits that the US Supreme Court is currently stuck with.

I don't think that's just for the Turian's to decide either

I think we'd all profit from a Volus Council seat, actually.

[Segmentia]

I think we'd all profit from a Volus Council seat, actually.

Really? A Council vote that the Turians can bully into line and always vote in their favor?

[The corporate states of Astavar]

I think we'd all profit from a Volus Council seat, actually.

Really? A Council vote that the Turians can bully into line and always vote in their favor?

The Turians cant really bully the volus what are they going to say vote like us were going to bomb the shit out of you?
that wont fly with the Asari or Salarians
