First post is going to basically be launching a small FTL transport, and making first contact with someone. Anyone interested to interact with me?
Hellooooooooooooo... would you like to meet the Xathoi Hives?
Only anywhere between 300-500 of them at any given time are actually sentient/sapient (Hive Queens), plus the Matriarch / Empress. And they communicate purely by telepathic means because physical communication is alien to them.

However, when it is a 'volunteer' being meatpuppeted; they can speak more clearly and such because the Matriarch/Hive Queens simply tell them what to say and semi-control them.
This is because the Xathoi rely entirely on psionics for communication with each other. Not to mention that only the Hive Queens and Matriarch are really sentient/sapient and independent of each other, making physical communication an alien concept to them for the most part. I dunno, an Infiltrator works, too; but they probably end up communicating via psionic telepathy.

Weight: 46kg to 90kg
Tech Tier: 2.5
Description:
A race of nomadic scientists who formed a scientific empire within their cluster, the Jupiterrans were identified as such due to their Homeworld bearing similarities to Terra for their life supporting capabilities, and the rich bank of gases surrounding the planet, giving it a clouded appearance from space with the size of the gas giant Jupiter back in the solar system. These Jupiterrans possessed a culture of loving music and the way sound was carried from point to point. In the past, disputes were settled by battle cries and drumbeats, while the judges were chosen from a group of composers of the same genre. This way, the side with the best and strongest music wins, and the only way for a corrupted result would be for a majority of the judges to betray their own conscience.
The Jupiterrans stand at around five to six feet, males more to the taller end while females to the shorter. Physically they aren't exactly strong, but their body possesses a resilience against most diseases, bacteria and dirt resisted by a sheen of natural oxide, and lungs which filter out most intrusive particles. Still vulnerable to toxins like anthrax, they are an agricultural based race, often fitting their ships with self-sustaining farms although animal pens were beyond their capabilities.
Jupiterrans do not have organised religion, only the trust in song and music. Each year of 365 days include twelve days of holiday where the civil service would devote twelve hours to music, festivals where budding composers could market their creativity for sale and trade. Aesthetic Art is a form of life for the Jupiterrans, and music is the most basic form of such for the people.
There are no Caste system for the Jupiterrans, but those in the Spacer Guilds are treated with a form of increased respect. The Spacer Guilds take care of all things related to space, including starships and the Jupiterran Star Fleet, and is often exploring the depths of space and finding new planets to colonize. Other Guilds exist in the Administration Guild, which takes care of almost all things civil, the Guild of Agriculture, the Guild of Advancement which represents the scientists, and the Guild of Engineers, who maintain the Star Fleet as Jupiterra constantly seeks out new worlds.

History:
The Jupiterrans started off as a collection of tribes and nomads, travelling across the plains of their planet while celebrating with song and dance every night. The skies above was clouded in an ever swirling fog, the depths of space unreachable and often unimaginable by those who see with the naked eye. Led by several clans men, a splinter of the Jupiterran community began to dig into the soil, creating the first known farming community in the records of Jupiterran history. With the advent of materials which could withstand the elements, more of such communities sprang up around the planet, the Caravan, as the roaming population came to be known as, became the symbol of Jupiterran resilience and their exploratory nature.
The many communities which grew over the years became key supply points for the Caravan, where granaries and water holes were organised for easier access. In return, the Caravan traded goods for the continued access, becoming the main market for the different communities, some of which were in their infancy and unable to create caravans of their own. The Caravan continued to bolster and populate the planet, and different nations of Jupiterrans connected with each other through well made roads, thanks to the abundant materials of the planet.
War was common in Jupiterra, but as stated, disputes were resolved through the use of music and peaceful means. That was limited to just Jupiterrans however, for aliens who treated them with hostilities and were unable to be pacified with music were fought with ballistics and conventional armaments. The stronger creatures, including the Jullipede, massive 100 meter predatory worms whose carapace shedding and excretions fertilize the land, needed to be subdued with something stronger than just arrows and cannons. As Jupiterran society developed through the years, a creative physicist came up with the idea of using the essence of music, Sound, as a weapon. Since the Worms were blind but used vibrations to navigate themselves, Sound particles and vibrated along the soil, keeping the beasts away from Jupiterran communities and scoring a decisive outcome in the constant conflict.
As technology advances, so did the methods of war and conflict. While the Jupiterrans still resolve their own disputes through diplomacy and communication, the elders often keeping in contact throughout their years of guidance, the same could not be said of the other species of the world. The first contact with hostile aliens resulted in a crippling defeat for the Jupiterrans, and their homeworld invaded and people enslaved. Therefore, actual military development around Sonic Energy picked up, starting from the usage of 'Bang Grenades', with the sound rupturing the insides of a person as the particles traveled through their bodies and shearing muscle and organs. However, even this technology has its limits, and sonic bullets were not as effective as conventional rounds unless used against a large organic masses.
The first attempt at spacefaring came when a group of Jupiterrans decided to break through the swirling mineral gases of Jupiterra to see what lies beyond. The first rocket was a success, and the findings spurred the interests of multiple communities of Jupiterrans, as the ability to reach space and navigate through them became a mutual lust. Dreams to dominate the atmosphere and the local space was a goal shared by the Jupiterrans, and the Star Fleet, a bold initiative launched by the Leader of the people, was born.
Using the old histories of the Jupiterran Caravan, Jupiterra launched the first of their own self-sustaining ships, the Constructor-Class Mk1 to serve as a ship where food could be produced, and factories sustaining the population inside and beyond. The dream to replicate the Caravan was reached as the Core-Class came into existence, huge city ships dedicated to civilian families of military men, complete with their theme parks and leisure. Still, each vessel served as the heartbeat of Jupiterra, combining the Caravan and Community into one.
With Space reached, planets colonised and Starbases built, the Star Fleet became a symbol of the Jupiterran Dream. With their futures depending on the Fleet and the superweapon of Z.U.R.O.K.I Sonic-Resonance Missiles, Jupiterra continued to look outwards, awaiting results of the men and women serving in the ships of the Fleet.
Population: 14 Billion
Number of Systems: 1 - Juroxis Delta
Species: Jupiterrans
ECONOMIC-
Ideology: Socialist-Capitalist.The government takes care of those working without a full-time job, providing basic amneties and a small allowance to support a basic living.
Economy: Good. The Jupiterran Star Fleet is a fluid economy which acts as an interstellar caravan, trading with different star systems and among the planets where different exotic goods could be found. Large economies in military manufacturing, secondary and teriatry goods and services. Tourism forms a large part of the economy, a Jupiterran Core Ship acts like a city of its own, and the Constructor-class is a technological platform for the sharing and trading of military plans. Mining Jupiterran Mineral Gases and Asteroids boost the economy in hard materials, providing a boost to the Manufacturing Industry.
Manufacturing: Strong. While the largest of ships were built and assembled in the orbital rings around Jupiterra, the planet itself boasts a strong industrial complex for consumer goods and processing fuel. The other planets under the Star Fleet possess their own Industrial Complexes, and each has the ability to produce warships up to Light Cruisers. Constructor-class Factory ships produce both consumer goods and warships for trading and use by the Star Fleet.
Agriculture: Good. Hydroponic and Aeroponic technology allows for plants and crops to be grown in almost any secured room in Jupiterra and the Star Fleet. Each warship from the Heavy Cruiser class and above possess the independent ability to provide their crew with hardy staple food and vegetables, as well as excess to supply a smaller ship or two. Dedicated Starbases which possesses multiple defensive platforms serve as orbital farms for visiting fleets, and while meat is a scare commodity due to the space required to maintain the animals, the Jupiterran Express ensures that quality meat would always be found in the warships of the Star Fleet. Ships from the Carrier-Class to the Core Ships and Constructor-Class possess the ability to feed squadrons of other ships due to the space they committed to compact farming.
MILITARY -
Population: 500 Million
Branches: Jupiterran Army, Jupiterran Marine Division, Jupiterran Space Corp, Jupiterran Star Fleet.
The Army watches over the planets and garrisons surface forts and camps. Given a modest budget, they consist of the smallest branch in the Jupiterran Star Fleet.
The Marines take care of anything within the dark recesses of space, as well as provide dedicated security for the Star Fleet. The third largest of the Jupiterran Military, the Marines were given more specialised weapons and training than the Army.
The Space Corp consists of volunteer and regular pilots, providing local security to the Starbases and Space Stations of Jupiterra. The Second Largest due to their nature as a security force, most members who excel in their role are transferred to the Star Fleet where they would serve as ranking officers and senior ranks.
The real deal, the pinnacle of Jupiterran culture lies in the armada of several thousand ships of varying sizes, the Star Fleet holds nearly 420 million people in its ships, a huge concentrated mass of civilians, soldiers and pilots all gathered into a spherical formation surrounding the Core Ships, the huge Constructor-Class factory ships providing sustenance for the entire fleet. While the Jupiterrans acknowldge themselves as inferior to the other races in terms of infantry and other aspects of ground combat, a different story was to be told in their air and space.
The Jupiterran Star Fleet
Jupiterran Naval Doctrine relies heavily on defence around the Core Ships and Constructors, as well as long range ballistic and missile technology. Laser weaponry is deployed on smaller fighters, while larger ships use Plasma-based weaponry sparingly. They are grouped according to Squadrons of four, eight and sixteen ships per battlegroup,
Spacer Guild Uniform
Naval Fatigues
Ships
Space Weapon Types: As evidenced, high dependence on ballistic weaponry while integrating laser and plasma technology into the fleet. Torpedoes and missiles provide an added dimension of attacks, and the Z.U.R.O.K.I Sonic Resonance missiles allow sound particles to pass through the solid mass of a warship's armour before discharging particles which slice into soft matter and components beyond the hull. These particles bounce off indefinitely until they lose their speed, during which a droning sound could be heard until the last of them dissipate with the loss of energy.
Strengths: The Jupiterran Star Fleet takes pride in the quality of their ships and ballistic weaponry, and their famed shield projectors which provides protection for other ships. Their starships often punch far above their weight, and unique technologies allow them to surprise their enemies with careful usage of their superweapons. The Star Fleet could abandon Jupiterra and continue growing thanks to the Constructors, and feed themselves with the meticulous planning of the Core Ships. Self-maintenance and upkeep is highly encouraged and practiced, allowing a huge fleet to be maintained while keeping the Jupiterran budget stable.
Weaknesses: Their infantry could be the worst of all other infantry belonging to similar tiers. The Star Fleet is highly dependent on the protection of the Core Ships, and each vessel is highly expensive to build. Capital ship construction is slow due to orbital factories being the only ones capable of building them.
