Twilight of the Galaxy: Reloaded (OOC, Open)

[Nazeroth]

any battles i can be involved in?

[The Moscow Metro Red Line]

I know Gambia did something earlier but this is the political map of the ASR. Here is the instrumental of the national anthem as well.

[Maljaratas]

Which would be more likely to attract weird insects do you think?

Take your pick. The Selinians look like thisand the Krastikans look like this. The Selinians do have some psionic potential, although it is somewhat limited.

I'll go with option C then. Both, if that's okay.

Does anyone else want contact in-gala?

[Maljaratas]

What kind of imports does the UNS even have?

Items of cultural and historical significance. Certain types of advanced consumer technology. Small quantities of nanobots.

But those are all secondary, unimportant things. The main imports of the UNS is that we will gladly buy up every scrap of trans-newtonian elements that we can get our hands on, since they are used in just about every high-tech industry within the United Nations, and even strip-mining 30,000 star systems isn't giving us enough...

The Credit Stamp Duty does tend to suppress trade, though, so our trade volume isn't as large as it normally should be.

Sounds like The Forklis and the UNS could have a profitable trading time if the former can get over its dislike of AI.

Dislike of AI? I don't like the sound of that.

It's not like they'll declare war on you just for being AI. Maybe.

Maybe you say? I dunno; I think we'll have some troubles if our nations ever meet.

I think we'll end in a competition to see who can make the other more mad should we ever meet in anything more than passing.

Is this thing still alive?

Is this thing still alive?

Yes. We are still going

Great! I've never participated in a sci-fi RP before, but I've watched a few LPs of that new Paradox title Stellaris, and now I'm totally stoked.

Any advice for a Nationstates newblood about to embark on his first sci-fi adventure?

[Maljaratas]

Yes. We are still going

Have fun, make sure you have internal consistency if possible, try to at least think about the laws of physics when making stuff up.

Creativity, my friend is the key. Get an idea of what kind of nation you want to be, with what kind of people. Do you want an technocracy ruled by a reptilian species, or a utopia controlled by sapient jellyfish?Have not encountered those yet, though.
The ideas are limitless. Once you do find something you want to do, DO IT.

Sapient Jellyfish you say? The Great Devourer of All has sapient jellyfish, though they don't rule the nation (yet ).

[Olthenia]

Hm. Choices, choices...

I've done some thinking, and I've come up with the following ways of describing my fledgeling society: Sovereignty, Alliance, Continuum, Houses, Confederacy, League, Cordiality, Pavane, Combine and Massive. Since an alien species must have an alien name, I've thought up the Yadra, Cheblon, Melor, Sultar, Polnor, Hyrosh, Trepani, Gaan and Linuri. As far as actual genus goes, they'll have to fall within one of the following: molluscoid, fungoid or anthropoid - humans, after all, are far too common. And lastly, they should have that whiff of uniqueness about them. Something that makes them special: Enigmatic voidfarers, hedonistic slavers, laconic scientists or even glass-faced fanatics.

So - which alien species should grace the galaxy with its presence? The enigmatic voidfarers of the Yadra Pavane? The solar-sailed slave ships of the Polnor Houses? Perhaps the lurid research-legates of the Trepani Combine? Or the chitinous choir-hymns of The Linuri Cordiality?

Time, as always, will tell.

[The V O I D]

Lyvirks are the creepy, shape-shifting Synthetics created by the Syrng to look perfectly like any other humanoid species. They can even trade body parts for rougher or softer skin and organs and such to imitate humano-insectoids and other tough species. The only thing that gives away they are Lyvirks would be the fact that they always look to have synthetic eyes.

Hey, Void, is there anything else that the Commonwealth people would like to talk about? My diplomat is waiting for a response.

Nation Name: United Federation of Races(U.F.R.)
Government Type: Representative Parliament
National Leader(s): Grand Minister Dal'yth Primos
Population: 645 billion
Star Systems: 10,000
History Of Your Nation: The United Federation of Races is an alliance of various codependent races. Spread impossibly thin over the far western fringes of the Milky Way, it holds its power over 5,000 systems. Its denizens include the Dwarves, a subspecies of humans that have adapted to the high gravity conditions of their chosen colonies, Turanir, a race of psionically resistant humanoids that have attained high technlogical advancement after a mere 7,000 years after attaining full sentience, the octopid Octors, the impossibly ancient Karkeos, a race of medically immortal dragon like creatures, and amkng many others.

The founders of the Federation were the Karkeos, in the year 2498. The Karkeos saw the other races squabbling over petty things, and they determined to stop that. By diplomacy and skillful words, the Karkeos managed to unite the myriad races that were scattered near their own birthplace. This was a tenous task that took hundreds of years to complete.

The first group to agree to the Karkeos's ideals of unity were the Turanir. The Turanir knew full well that if the Turanir didn't unite in the middle of a disastrous civil war(mostly because of the Vurazans's alleged mind control abilities), they would have might as well led themselves to a slow racial suicide. Together, the Karkeos and the Turanir began efforts to unite the other races as well. Second came in the Dwarves. The Dwarves, for one, had no real interest in conflict; they'd rather live out their lives mining gold rather than wage war in some distant land. It is unknown whether the Dwarves are full members of the UFR or are simply trading partners or techno allies. However, it is known that many Dwarven worlds have fully integrated into the Federation, and more are expected to do so as well in the following years.

After several successful attempts, the real challenge came in when the Federation attempted to speak sense into the Octors. These highly advanced deep sea creatures, however, were prideful at first;they thought it better that they be on their own. It took a massive attack from a swarm of xenomorphs and the subsequent assistance of UFR forces for the Octors to realize that being alone is not a very good idea.

Now, the Federation never ceases to find out races that it may integrate into itself;it believes that unity is the only option. The Karkeos leads the UFR from their halls of plasma and fire, and they shall do so till the very end.

-Military Information-
=========================================================
Military Information:
s)
Military Population: 30 billion
Military Branches: The Warfleet, the Federal Guard, and the Adeptus Mechanica.
Military Strengths: Uses technology incorporated from various races, and is highly adaptive.
Military Weaknesses: Managing such a racially diverse military is no easy task. Also, their forces are quite thinly spread over the Federation's territories.
=========================================================
-Diplomatic/Economic Information-
=========================================================
Languages: Russian(Dwarves), Taugir(Turanir), Otri(Octors), and Karkean(Karkeos). Many other minor languages.
Foreign Policy: Whenever the UFR finds an intelligent species that is not hostile, the UFR tries to persuade them to join the Federation. It uses diplomacy, trade, and at some cases, offering technology to more primitive races for persuasion. However, if that species is violently hostile, the Federation might as well wipe them out from the face of the stars, for such races are a threat to racial unity.
Number Of Species: 49
Economic Strengths: The Dwarven worlds are extremely rich in minerals, and the Octor worlds are filled to the brim with fuel resources. Also, capitalism.
Economic Weaknesses: Being spread over such an expansive territory slows down trade.

The notable differences is that they are much shorter in height(they never get taller than 4 feet), and have much thicker and more powerful bodies.
Natural Abilities: Dwarves are inherently masters of machinery and can fix broken machines with the greatest of ease.
Unnatural abilities: Robotic control - Certain Dwarves are capable of controlling robots using only their minds. They are called Machinarium Magisters.

Species Name: Turanir
Appearance: The Turanir are humanoid. Their skin is blue, and their skin exudes almost no moisture. Their faces are flat and lack noses. For a nose they have what looks like a Y-shaped breathing slit in where a nose would be. They have hoofed feet, and on average stand as tall as an average human, but are slightly physically weaker due to the weaker gravity of their homeworld.
Biology/Anatomy: Their bodies exude almost no moisture. In addition, there are three main types of Turanir, which stem from what conditions have their ancestors have adapted in. The Flame Turanir are taller and physically stronger than other Turanir, and are descended from those Turanir that stayed in the arid plains of their homeworld. The Earth Turanir are those who went to the river valleys to build cities, and are shorter and stockier than the others, but have superior technical intellects. The Air Turanir are those in the mountains, and are very tall and slender, and act as pilots and crew for ships and space stations, as ever since the Turanir have reached to the stars, the Air Turanir have spent entire generations in zero-gravity conditions, rendering them very vulnerable to injury when placed even momentarily in medium gravity.
Natural Abilities: Naturally resistant to psionic attacks. They are also very highly adaptive in a technological level.
Unnatural abilities: Another type of Turanir called the Vurazans are caoable of some kind ofmind control; all Turanir seem to have an iresistible compulsion to follow every order of a Vurazan. The Vurazans, for one, are responsible for the Turanir's intergration into the UFR.

There you go, Gambia and Moscow.

Took a little while but I got past my fatigue

[Taigawa]

I'm waiting on confirmation of where I am on the map before I post IC.

I'm waiting on confirmation of where I am on the map before I post IC.

I don't know how long you will be waiting, then. The mapmakers haven't been very active lately.
