Oh dear. I should clarify for him. The old system was pretty unbalanced in moon creation.

Argentumurbem wrote:Faction: Mundane
Leader: Father Eloste
History: Before they knew of the Mass Effect, the beings of Pelica they knew of the grid. Before the grid, they were divided, individuals without the direction of Eloste or the power of the Hive. When they first stepped into the light of sentience the Ulth were a harmonic people, preferring a simple life in equilibrium with their surroundings. This brought great bounty to them over the centuries, as the race evolved ever-slowly to become a true member of the life cycle. However, with such humble designs there was no innovation beyond that which could preserve the natural order, the status quo made not by sentience or will but the random chance of the universe.

And even then, the Ulth took to science as if there were no greater pursuit. The power to create life, to create that which is not real and yet it alive. First it were machines, slaves as clumsy as they were stupid. They turned then to the natural world, to the smallest of beings. They created insects, identical to their natural counterparts except for their gods. From these the Ulth turned to greater designs, to greater horizons.

That is, until the Awakening. For a day and a night the sky turned bronze and the seas soured, earth turned to stone and mountains fell into dust. As the climates changed forever the Ulth began to die in their droves. The rivers began to dam with the corpses, bone welding like iron to leather and sinew as entire cultures were slain. For all their want of peace and harmony, for all their pursuits in keeping the world alive and pure, the Ulth were destined to be extinguished. The survivors began to adapt to their new world, to a land ever changing. For many, the process was too slow.

Fear drove them to drastic measures. Such measures had only ever seemed a dream, a promise that their descendants a thousand times removed would make good on. The Ulth cried out their promises like dogma, paranoia bringing forth such wonder from within the race. Scientific and technical knowledge long thought useless proved itself on the day of Revelation. On that day, the first centers of the Hive were activated.

Revelation has changed the Ulth beyond recognition. They are phantoms now, wraiths driving machines the same way a brain drives the body of a natural creation. The Hives are their homes now. To the eyes of an outsider they are nothing more than industrial complexes, vast factories consuming raw resources and vomiting forth such machines that appear to be clones of the observer themselves. And yet inside, in the world of the data core, each Hive stretching to the limits of imagination. Here the millennium old Ulth continue their ageless existence, designing newer machines, more intricate beings to carry their presence into the world of matter.

RP Example: Previous ME:F RPs
Questions and Suggestions: Probably a nitpick but can the buildings list be divided to better show requirements? As it stands I do not know what is counted as a "Major structure" and if the spaceports are mutually exclusive or if I can have upto 3 spaceports (of the various sizes) on a planet. Carrying on from that, I would also suggest/request that dreadnoughts require a military shipyard to be constructed, to better represent the nature of the warships.

Accepted.

I look forward to the other apps when I get home.

Yes, it's just the moons. The table is 1-10: No Moon, 11-13: One Moon, 14: Two Moons+, with no doubling for gas Giants since they became more useful.

Oh... yeah.. that could have made life a bit less painful. Oh well, I'll use the old table for starting areas and the new one for the explorations.

Race Builder Form - The Arahaelben
Racial Physical Attributes
STRENGTH: 11
DEXTERITY: 10
CONSTITUTION: 11
Racial Mental Attributes:
INTELLIGENCE: 18
WISDOM: 14
CHARISMA: 7

Special characteristics: 1)Technological Prowess- Innovation has always been important to your people. Research comes easy to your people. Add half (Rounded up) of your racial Intelligence Store to Research Points per planet with 5 Urban Areas.

2)The Value of a Good Education- The Arahaelben devotion to logic and science has resulted in a top notch STEM education for all its citizens, which is useful both in everyday life and on the battlefield. Ground units receive the Electronic Warfare Training upgrade for free.

Homeworld History: Ruins of the last cycle

Faction: The Arahaelben Interplanetary Republic
Leader: Consul Sarok
History: The Arahaelben are a species devoted to logic and science with an almost religious fervor. As a result of this devotion the individuals of this species are typically well-educated, and the species as a whole is quite scientifically and technologically advanced; this advancement did come at a cost however, as the arts are an almost lost...well, art among the Arahaelben. Individuals such as painters, poets, and musicians are treated by the majority of Arahaelben as second class citizens; the pursuit of their arts having been deemed "illogical" by most members of the species.

For all their logic, the Arahaelben were unfortunately unable to avoid war, as their leaders have often tended to apply logic in a Machiavellian manner most favorable to themselves. For much of the species' history, the political machinations of their leaders resulted in war after war after war, and as their technology became more advanced the wars became bloodier and bloodier. Indeed, the final war fought between the Arahaelben was so massive and destructive in scale, it nearly threatened to leave their entire species extinct. Fortunately, logic won the day before that could happen, as the leaders of the various Arahaelben nations came to the conclusion that any war that could lead to the extinction of their species (and more specifically, lead to their own deaths) was obviously illogical. A peace accord was signed between all nations of the Arahaelben, and an International Senate was established to ensure that the signatories adhered to the treaty.

The peace accord also resulted in unprecedented scientific and technological advancement, as scientists who had previously been devising ways to kill each other could now work together to advance their species. This advancement received a major boon when ancient ruins describing incredible technologies were uncovered and deciphered, leading to the discovery of Element Zero and development of, among other things, the first Arahaelben FTL drive. With this new technology the Arahaelben began colonizing other worlds in their system and took their first steps towards developing an interplanetary Empire.

Galactic Location: Between the Omega Nebula and Sigurd's Cradle

Questions and Suggestions: None that I can think of

What is the system for accessing "canon" Relays? Is it just an activation "roll" with a pre-determined new location or is there a chance of the relays changing their destination?

Secondly, the Physical Allure trait doesn't really fit, I would like to change it to:
- Simulated Existence: The Ulth inhabit vast cities within computer cores. As a result, they are akin to programs, running through millions of simulations within the space of a heartbeat. As a result, these cities become something resembling great think tanks. Urban Areas produce 2 research points each.

Race Name: The Qunix
Racial Physical Attributes
STRENGTH: 5+ 12=17
DEXTERITY: 5-2=3
CONSTITUTION: 5 +10=15
Racial Mental Attributes:
INTELLIGENCE: 5+10=15
WISDOM: 5-3=2
CHARISMA: 5 +13=18

Traits: Innate Biotics: The Qunix developed Biotics at an early age and built their entire way of life off the development of it.( All Ground Forces receive free Biotic Training)
Funtavo ex Guisa(Fang and Gilder) : The basic motto of the Qunix, they are an aggressive, yet charismatic and social race. Have a history of cutthroat deals and violent passion that has been common throughout their history. In the new age of spacefaring, the Qunix are known to be cutthroat economists that squeeze profit out of every infrastructure but at the expanse of going against regulations and red tape. Infrastructure generate 5% more credits at the expanse of them being 10% more expensive

Homeworld Trait: Eezoe Core: The homeworld of the Qunix was formed around an element zero core. Because of this, they have built their entire technology and way of life based around eezoe and the study of Biotics for the benefit of their hides. +10 research points directed to Biotics.

Faction: Vossos Nostri( Commonly known as the Apox Clans)
Leader: The Baazar
History: Even since the first Quinox walked on the world-plains of Tob, the Clan was always there. They formed during the end of the Reaper War where the sight of a major battle that drove them underground where they where in contact with deep veins of eezoe. Their contact with the radiation was early and brutal as 60% of their civilization was killed off by infertility, mutation, and cancer. Those that came out of the caves were those that had been bestowed with biotics. When they came up they saw that there was nothing but they made paintings of what they saw and told stories of the great " Angels" fighting the Demons for their sake.

Despite the discovery of eezoe and biotics, none of its properties were discovered until the Shorinsta Experiment that happened during the discovery of electricity that traveled a wire to the blue mineral and discovered mass effect. This made the advancement of using mass effect to power airships, weapons, and factories. This also brought in New ideas of warfare as biotics became commonplace on the battlefield as gauntlets and new armies came in style.

After decades of warfare, a matriarchy was set up under the frame of natural laws since they stronger and more imposing than the males. It was peaceful for five years until a male Qunix named Ossosa Rimbolt found the Mais to try and overthrow the matriarchal rule. The first attack happen when Rimbolt launched a SanSan missile at the Matriarch of Zarnar.

Soon the world was engulfed by war again and was quickly a stalemate until the world's leaders and rebels threaten to launch fission weapons at each other, however the unexpected had happened. The merchant clans and industrial leaders were fed up with the constant war so they gave an ultimatum, seek peace or they'll crash the world's economy. This forced both sides to sit down and have peace. It was then that an agreement was reached to promote equality of the sexes if there was a way to make a labor substitute for the men.

That's when the combined companies started to research into automation and robotic servants to do manual labor and help ease the transition. This is when the press called this organization of economic minds and professionals the Bazaar, which was hailed as the saviors of the world and bringers of a new golden age for trading.

Within this new golden age , old countries and clans fell and new ones rise as many looked to space as a way to expand individual power and curiosity. Clockwork scouts of explorers and adventurers went on month long journey to find new things out there but found what was believed to be something amazing, a mass relay that took some time tto understand but they were amazed that the information on how to activate the relay. Having unlocked the Relay, the representatives from the Bazaar and the respective nations and Clans were ready to set their paws on alien ground and into the galaxy unknown.
