Twilight of the Galaxy: Reloaded (OOC, Open)

[Ordei]

I hate writing on this phone. It takes me six reads to realize that something has an error. Of course, that probably has something to do with me often overlooking things. That causes a lot of problems. Stupid details ;-;

[The Orson Empire]

-Base Information-
=========================================================
(Image)
Nation Name: The Setari Clans
Government Type: Oligarchic Dictatorship
National Leader(s): Archon Xiash
Population: 300 billion (Only 50 billion are Setari)
Star Systems: 60 systems
History Of Your Nation:

The Setari Clans hold a large swathe of space, existent entirely to their desire to pleasure themselves. Utterly devoid of familial, national, or regional loyalties; Setari instead group up in tribes of similar interests, be they war, scientific research, or plain hedonism. The more powerful of these tribes began, at an early age, to stratify their power along genetic lines, and through their numbers, intelligence, and strength, managed to force the subservience of the other, less organized tribes. This, although often breaking down in order, led to the rough equivalent of nation-states, although the borders and cultural allegiances wre ever shifting.

Eventually, the Setari made it to space, and quickly began leaving their overcrowded, polluted, and quickly decaying homeworld. What they truly longed for, however, were to meet other species; and soon they did. Called under a banner of common interest like never before, tens of thousands of colony ships landed on alien worlds with the desire for conquest. On their homeworld, slavery and genetic enhancement were commonly employed; alien species less advanced than them soon learned the meaning of horror as their black ships descended into the atmosphere, enslaving entire civilizations for no reason than individual pleasure.

As time went on, colonies began absorbing their own powers and duties, separating themselves of any connection with the homeworld, just as the tribes used to do. Devastating wars with foreign space powers, however, soon taught the need for alliance; and thus, the Setari clans were born. Only roughly tied together, they share virtually no common domestic law, although slavery and hedonism are rife on every planet. The only requirement for each Clan, whose power depends on the planets and resources they control, must pay a tithe in soldiers, taxes, and slaves to the central, federal governorship which is dominated by an elected Clan leader. The federal government does little to manage the smaller Clans, the vast majority of its expansion the result of individual Clan actions against small civilizations and uncivilized worlds.
=========================================================
-Military Information-
=========================================================
Military Information: The Setari are completely obsessed with slavery; their entire economic base revolves around it. Nonstop, round the clock production facilities are dedicated to the manufacture of military vehicles, weapons, and munitions, all built by slaves who have never seen the light of day. Every Setari is either a member of the military or a salve manager, thus creating a perpetual warrior and researcher class that is entirely based around putting down insurgencies and raiding. Their technology, though capable, is often entirely ripped off of that of other nations, with no respect to intellectual property as their market is insulated from the galaxy at large. The only Setari technology more naturally advanced than others is their movement capabilities - they are adept at lightning fast hit-and-runs, devastating enemy fleets by slaughtering their logistics and homeworlds, letting their own burn in the process just so they can bomb civilian centers of the enemy.
Military Population: 15 billion
Military Branches:

- Sitosh Clan: In times of Federal war, assumes ultimate power over fleets.
- Tinosh Clan: In times of Federal War, assumes ultimate power of ground wars.
- Kerok Clan: In times of Federal War, assumes ultimate power of espionage.

Military Strengths: Speed, individual quality, stealth, shock attacks, boarding, fearsome reputation.
Military Weaknesses: Numbers, lack of unity, undisciplined commanders.
=========================================================
-Diplomatic/Economic Information-
=========================================================
Languages: Setari
Foreign Policy: Uneasy peace with nations of equal or greater power; constant, "unaffiliated" piracy attacks are however common. Lesser nations and uncivilized worlds are ruthlessly enslaved.
Number Of Species: Countless. Setari are the ones in command.
Economic Strengths: Insulation from Galaxy at large, pure production capacity, and center of Galactic Black Market.
Economic Weaknesses: Slave labor ultimately inferior to automation.
=========================================================
-Other-

Technological Bases:Mass Effect
Activity on NS: Can reply daily
RP Example: Will create one after this post.
Supporting Factions within your Nation: N/A

Species Name: Setari
Appearance: http://orig03.deviantart.net/40ce/f/200 ... psonkh.jpg
Biology/Anatomy: The Setari are a sleek, reptilian species of great height and speed. In their homeworld, much of the land was an entire grassland, devoid of features, but encompassing thousands of miles of similar territory. As a result, they evolved to be incredibly responsive to stimuli - growing small appendages across their body that were receptive to wind, temperature, touch, and a myriad of indescribable feelings. Over time, as they gained sentience, the longer they lived the more hedonistic they became; eating, drinking, and reproducing without caution. As societies grew, they came to their first encounters of cruelty and sadism; in such a boring world, the horrors and pleasures they could inflict one each other became their sole focus. As such, they are cruel, fast, and easily addicted creature of complicated desire, constantly seeking thrill in whatever way they can.
Natural Abilities: The Setari are capable of piercing screams that they are iconic for, screams that can affect other living creatures on a psionic level and send them spiraling into madness for a short period of time.
Unnatural abilities: Some Setari are psionically gifted, and given enough time, can entirely meld minds with another living creature. Often times, this is used for torture, either to extract information, or for pure pleasure, as they can cause the victim to suffer nightmares of an unbelievable scale.
Breathable Gas: Oxygen
=========================================================
Life Span: Average life span of 50-80 years, depending on habits.
Reproduction: Sexually
Intelligence Level: Sentient
Species Type: Reptilian
=========================================================
Population Percentage: 16 percent.
Notable Individuals: The Archons of each Clan.
=========================================================
Brief Description of Species: The Setari are the dominating species of the Setari Clans; all others are slaves of their pleasure. Driven man by desires to stimulate themselves, they often resort to the pleasure of drugs, food, or flesh as they reach out into the stars. Their desiccated homeworld is now in shambles, a victim of their pollution and carelessness. The few disciplined enough to become leaders and scientists are glorified and live in unimaginable hedonistic excess, with the rests serving as footsoldiers and pirates.

I have gotten permission from Jedi to accept this, so this app has now been accepted.

[Zeon Refounded]

Everyone probably thinks that "I wub you too much for that" means "I want to force your nation into subjugation as I eliminate all threats to me" in Ordei Speech ;-;

Not right now, it doesn't. Maybe.

Anyways, I plan on contacting the Z-people, and the UNS after speaking to the Tagali.

Right now, I have a question. What are some possibilities with computerized neural implants? I know the basics (enhancing psionic abilities, defending against psionics, memory and information storage, brain-to-computer interfaces, auxiliary computing, data translation, and similar things), but what else can they be used for?

Am I the "Z-people"?

And I guess the implants could also be used for consciousness transferal.

[The Greater Gambia]

Alright guys, I'll post tomorrow. Also, I offer my services as CO-OP since I'm usually online during the day.

[The Fallen Jedi]

I didn't intend to do QSAR until a couple more pages in. I'm a bit busy with 4chan and work.

Maybe another OP would be willing to run it right now.

Work is very important. 4chan just has me doing something with 40k that I enjoy.

So how does the QSAR feel about other self aware AI that coexist with Organics?

[The Empire of Pretantia]

So how does the QSAR feel about other self aware AI that coexist with Organics?

The same way it feels about organics. It's fun destroying them.

QSAR isn't a bigot, it's a psychopath. It would spend hours watching how a mining robot cuts and tears apart a corpse into progressively tinier pieces, gleefully watching as the blood coagulates and the organs get shredded.

[Maljaratas]

What page was the original post for that on?

[Ava Ire]

Interactions anyone?

I can interact.

2341 AD.

Except that nowadays we call it Common Era 2341. Religion, for Earth humans, at least, isn't that big of a thing anymore.

The no more humans one? I'm aware. I was hoping my genetically engineered human hive mind would be different enough.

Also, what's the giant purple blob on the map in the galactic north?

Ordei. He has an "Empire of the Sun", which for whatever reason was allowed to have vassals covering a few times more territory than the actual empire does.
