[The Empire of Tau]

My post is almost done.

[Turkducken]

alright so we filled out a bit, so now I have to inevitably chose between Hanar and Elcor

however, the Elcor have no mechanics, can I have mechanics for them before making the plunge into either?

Sure. Let me see what I can dig up.

[The Empire of Tau]

First post is up and running.

[Segmentia]

I'm not sure if Shep would be considered an unofficial Spectre at this time, but I suppose we can roll with it. We aren't exactly following the setting lore anyway.

I know that she's a candidate and she is still one. Anderson is just saying stuff, so don't take his word for it.

[The GAmeTopians]

Hmm. The year is 2182, so actually if I'm following canon my second leader should be Nihlus, I would think.

Indeed, and Nihlus is the most decorated Spectre agent as of now

Before you know, he got his ass capped in-game by Saren. Let's see if he lives through this timeline

That did make me sad

I've slapped together a basic template for a Codex post in the relevant link. Feel free to copy that for yourselves, or just put together something like it.

I'm not 100% on my bookkeeping so if anyone could double check for me I'd really appreciate it

Looks good to me, minus one thing: the Orbital Fuel Station requires He-3 Mining (a tech) to construct.

Ah damn ok

Edit: How long do they take to build, the mining stations, I don't see a time

All infrastructure is built within one month. So you'll be getting credits from your investment next month.

Hell yeah

Also I'm assuming credits are universal now? I know we started off with both military and economic credits but I don't see a way to gain military credits so I'll assume

Faction Name: The Courts of Dekuuna, common: Elcor Courts
Leader: Chancellor Caryn, Elder MP
Citadel Council Member: No - Associate (maintains an embassy on the Citadel)

Diplomatic Relations: The Elcor maintains neutral to good diplomatic relations with almost every other species of the Galaxy; their main interests being primarily economic cooperation. It could be said that the Elcors' most cordial diplomatic relation is with the Asari species, as it was due to their help the Elcor discovered the mass relay and was able to estabilish a space-faring civilization, estabilishing trade routes to the Citadel. Relations with the Quarians are less cordial than with the other races - primarily because the Quarians was denied a new homeworld in Ekuuna by the Citadel Council, despite them having settled in the high-gravity world. The subsequent eviction of Quarians from Ekuuna left a bitter distaste of the Elcors for them, and tensions would still emerge every time an Elcor and a Quarian meet.

History: The Elcors evolved in Dekuuna, a high-gravity world, from a primitive elephant-like species that gradually developed a grand, planet-spanning civilization. Elcors are characterized by their migratory habits and the tribal system that developed from the habit. Ancient Elcorian states on Dekuuna was governed by a council made up of respected and old Elcors, called Elders. Over time the tribal governing system gradually developed into a Westminster-like parliamentary system; Elders, or representatives of districts as allocated by the Courts (the Elcorian parliament) convened in a bicameral system of government (the House of Elders as the lower house; the House of Lords as the upper house). An Elder (member of the lower house) is gerally selected through general elections to become the Chancellor, the Elder tasked with running the executive branch of government. Power was derived from the consensus that all Elcor tribes united (through several centuries of wars and treaties before the Elcor reached Space Age) to form the Courts of Dekuuna, supreme assembly and representative of all Elcors in the galaxy.

Not long after the Elcors made their first forays into Space came the Asari, a highly-advanced galactic civilization. Within a single lifetime, the Courts of Dekuuna was able to made their presence known and even estabilished regular trade routes to the Citadel. The Elcor quickly became one of the more prominent species in Citadel space, though they still have not obtained membership (as a Citadel race) - the Courts of Dekuuna is an associate of the Citadel, and they have to share an embassy with the Volus.

Setting up my Codex page then I'll start work on a post for the IC

[The GAmeTopians]

Does the Galactic Bank take up a slot on the other Faction's planet?

[Ralnis]

Does the Galactic Bank take up a slot on the other Faction's planet?

No it doesn't.

[The GAmeTopians]

Does the Galactic Bank take up a slot on the other Faction's planet?

No it doesn't.

Hell yeah. Volus Bankers popping off.

[Nuxipal]

Does the Galactic Bank take up a slot on the other Faction's planet?

A slot? It counts as infrastructure, but there aren't slots as far as I know. I'd also make sure whoever's world you are building a bank on, first knows of it and then agrees to it. Last thing you need is to have your bank seized by the world you are building it on losing the income and credits spent to build it.

[Ralnis]

Great, now I have to bomb Illium.

[Revlona]

Seems like Illium is gonna be the britain to my france
