Auxilia (HFY/FT/World Building phase)

[Ayvalon]

The year is 2230, after centuries of unheard or unanswered broadcasts, mankind has finally received proof that life exists outside our solar system. Known as the Haikur confederacy, this collection of alien species has been backed against the metaphorical wall, desperately holding the line against other alien species seeking to exterminate their individuality. Known as the "Unity of one", or Simply "The Union" among humanity, these opposing alien species have expunged all forms of culture and individuality in the name of prosperity for the 'greater good'. Stuck between a rock and a hard place, the countries of mankind were at a loss until the "Great London Massacre" of 2231.

Ironically named as such not by humanity's own armed forces but rather by the Union's own armed forces, after an invasion force touched down in London UK resulted in catastrophic failure. This failed invasion proved that while mankind's weapons and technology are seemingly primitive by other intergalactic species, our physiology and cultures have shaped the human race into apex warriors with few peers. Despite our capabilities, we are few in number in a conflict spanning entire galaxies. If you are reading this, you have been inducted to the HAC-H 1, The Haikur Auxilia Confederacy- Human, 1st Division. Welcome to a new breed of war trooper.

Congratulations citizen ###-##-####, your candidacy for the HAC-H 1st has been archived. Please continue reading if you are interested in knowing more. Your local Auxilia logistics officer will provide a brief overview of the details within otherwise at his nearest convenience.

Haikura CombineThe nameholder of the Haikur confederacy and it's founding species. Haikura were the predominant combatant species of the confederacy, comprising approximately 89% of it's land; air and space assets before the introduction of Humanity to the confederacy. These anthropomorphic canine sentient beings compose much of their culture around military bearing and small-unit cohesion, ensuring ease of cooperation in all matters military from infantry squads and armored crewmembers to even star-ship gunnery teams and other assets. Standing a full 2 meters (or 6.5 feet for imperial readers) on average, their lithe, agile bodies allow them to rapidly cross large battlefields with ease, enaging in close-quarters combat as is typical of their weapons and tactics. While fearsome in combat, Haikura were born on a low-gravity world, often impeding upon their capabilities in the denser gravity of Unity terraformed worlds.

Halkir collective While the Haikura are folk of action, the Halkir are beings of deep thought and introspection. Much of the confederacy's cutting edge technology can be attributed to Halkir think-tanks. These ammorphous beings often contain themselves within specialized suits or pods designed to withstand the abnormal atmosphere present in most Haikuran environments. The Halkir are telepathic, capable of instantaneously communicating with each other at distances of up to several light years, making them prime candidates for FTL communications networks where other means can cause vital seconds, minutes or even hours of latency before a message is received. It is because of the Halkir's telepathic phenomena that many improperly consider them a hivemind, yet while every being within the collective shares thoughts and emotions with it's peers in a wide distance, each is it's own unique entity.

Omnir Collective The Omnir are a gathering of independent artificial constructs. While few in number compared to the confederacy's other races, the Omnir are Engineering masters. Created by the Halkir as a labor force, the Omnir established their independence following a 5 day civil war approximately 250 years ago known as "The Great Divide". Since then, their insights into forms of renewable energy and architecture have resulted in a golden age of prosperity among the Confederacy despite the ever growing conflicts with the Unity of One. Many of the Confederacy's ships are either Omnir in design or share Omnir features. Most of the Confederacy's most powerful vessels even hold Omnir minds as ship-board which are effectively AI to assist the crew in determining navigation and tactical maneuvering patterns, ballistic weapons trajectory calculations and power distribution in times of battle.

Otherwise known as "The Holy Union"; "The Union" or simply "Yewnies" by human grunts. The Unity of One is a theocratic society where individuality is cleansed in the name of attaining a greater understanding of the universe and closer ties to the Pan-creator, they whom made all that is living. Only the highest tiers of the Unity are allowed individual thought as their ascendance brings them closest to the creator's will, which the masses are not ready to fully comprehend. Whilst the "Yewnies" represent a single goal, their ranks are comprised of dozens of species genetically modified to suit the Unity's needs and 'perfect' environments. Conquered worlds are terraformed to suit "The desires of the Pan-creator's vision".

In reality, humanity has quickly picked apart this "Perfect society" as a Theocratic totalitarian state. All dissident points of view are met with extreme violence with everyone striving towards unifying the galaxy under "The wisdom of our creator's vision", where the elite 5% at the top (referred to as "All-seers") rule with absolute impunity. To date, no confirmed sightings of an All-seer have been confirmed, no-one even knows what they look like.

The 1st Human Auxilia (Colloquially known as Hell's Heralds) are a combination light-infantry/heavy weapons support detachment within the Confederacy. Comprised of humans across earth's nations of different religious; cultural and economic spectrum. Whether you are a former Islamic insurgent; USMC Marine or Swiss Citizen soldier, you are an equal among Hell's Heralds.the HAC-H 1 are tasked with equal parts reconnaissance as well as offering fire support due to Human physiology making Humans capably both Skirmishers and heavy infantry with few peers even without the more advanced 'CRISP' suits (AKA Confederacy Risk: Immediate Support Protocol) available to the confederacy's elite. It is up to this rag-tag group of humans to prove that humanity is worth the chance to join the confederacy's ranks and to prove Humanity's worth to the galaxy as a whole.

HAC-H 1st is an unofficially sanctioned task force. While none of Earth's nations openly recognize the volunteer force in question, nearly 75% of it's nations can attest to arming or recruiting candidates for it's ranks. Weapons and equipment have seen few marked improvements since the early 21st century. Whilst standard small arms have seen minor improvements, laser and electro-magnetic based small arms are still a long ways off from becoming the standard issue due to difficulties in providing proper battery packs that could sufficiently sustain such weapons.

Input required for:

Worlds for our RP to take part on (Atmosphere and gravity ought to be close to Earth's to highlight our capabilities, although lower Gs might work as well)

Weapons ideas, both for small arms and vehicles. Don't need exact parameters, simply something to give players a ground-work for writing.

Other races within the Haikur Confederacy. Any ideas are always welcome, the 3 present were simply the first ones I came up with.

[Arvenia]

Tag!

[Ayvalon]

While I don't normally like to necro, I'll breathe some life back into this thread, give it one last shot.

[Ayvalon]

Application is up, rules are up, still looking for world-building ideas.

[Arvenia]

Would there be more factions?

[Utceforp]

Is this still active? I've got some ideas for other species.

Is this still active? I've got some ideas for other species.

This is indeed still active, just been waiting for other folk's input, I COULD flesh everything out to my personal tastes, but I typically try to let players have a bit of say in fleshing a setting out.

Would there be more factions?

There may be, should the RP progress, but I want to try and focus on these 2 groups for now.
