Mass Effect: Embers [Complete]

Indeed; that should largely be the case for most factions, actually, unless they have very good reasons they would have been able to maintain a multi-system government. Delays in reaching/having meaningful interactions with other systems tend to provoke political fragmentation.

In that case, it looks like Amaterasu will be my first target, since it is the closest human colony. Tiptree will be my second.

What infrastructure should I assume is on both worlds?

Ah, an excellent question.

Unfortunately, that would be telling. Without direct political control of a world, assessing how much infrastructure remains and could conceivably be integrated is… difficult.

Hey G-Tech, I'm trying to toss up whether to do a corporate-ruled Illium, or a Noveria that has been consumed by the pursuit of research at the expense of all else. Wondering if you've got any ideas on what kind of perks either might have or which might fit better with the current cast - could help me make up my mind!

Hmm. Well, offhand Noveria will probably give you more freedom if you want to play isolationist, while Illium will be making a mint but you’re going to have the Citadel breathing down your neck.

More interaction is always better. Trying to walk the tightrope between the Terminus and Citadel as Illium sounds fun, although I wonder if any of the major players would be hurting for cash? I remember in a past iteration that Noveria was able to sell research, which gave them a bit of a unique niche despite their small size.

I don’t have any mechanics for selling research at present, but I’m sure you could pull something together with a bit of use of your research facilities, hah.

Sidenote, it turns out there is a young Volus colony in the Pylos Nebula. I did not know this but it has gotten me thinking.

Of course, keep in mind that most* colonies will have had a pretty rough time, between the Reapers and economic isolation.

Faction: The Asari Republic
Leader: Teveseda D'natis, current head of the Matriarch Council
Diplomatic Relations Summary: The Republic is eager to fully establish the positive diplomatic relations with its previous allies and friends, though the Matriarch Council realizes that this new galaxy might not seek to return to the old order of things. They also seek to establish relations with several of the more emergent groups, such as the Quarians on Omega, and the Raloi.

Military Summary: Gutted. The Reaper invasion of Thessia decimated the relatively small standing forces of the various Republics, and the fleets suffered basically total annihilation before the end of the War, including the hyper-dreadnought Destiny Ascension. It has rebuilt what it could, but the isolation and the needs of securing the essentials for the citizens took priority. The Matriarchs do have plans for a much more well armed Asari state going into the future, as the Reaper War showed them that kind words and pretty faces need to be backed by a strong arm and a metal rod.

History: After the shut-down of the Mass Relay network, the Republics fared better than most might have thought, as the decentralized nature of Asari politics and states allowed them to rebound about as well as could be expected, especially in the Athena Nebula where commerce and industry had rebuilt steadily, and where the Matriarch Council was established, as a means of centralizing the reconstruction efforts. The future of the council is in question as the relays reactivate, though they have managed the Athena Nebula well.

Infrastructure and Claimed Worlds: The Asari Republic (Now singular) lays claims to all previously held Asari world, especially in the Nimbus and Silean Nebulas, and intends to integrate these worlds into the Republic, as well expand into the Syda Cluster.

Oh actually on that note, how do you think the Asari would've fared on Agessia, G-tec?

Sold. Toss me down for a reservation for Illium in that case.

Does anyone happen to have a handy-dandy list of worlds in the Crescent Nebula and what tier they are (garden, etc)? It's a lazy request, but it'd be a huge help.

Ooh? Are you referring to the Raloi who might be on Turvess, or are the republics already aware of the Tur'fiigt Band?
And G-tec? In purely OOC terms (the Tur'fiigt Band won't know one way or another yet), do you have any answers to the fate of Turvess? Did the planet's population actually survive in their gambit? Oooooor... Were the Reapers less than fooled?

This seems to all be in order; welcome, Seg, and happily accepted.

Of course, keep in mind that most* colonies will have had a pretty rough time, between the Reapers and economic isolation.

Oh actually on that note, how do you think the Asari would've fared on Agessia, G-tec?

Sure; from orbit, large bombardment craters are visible on the windswept world, and no radio or EM transmissions can be observed. At least, as I said, from orbit.

I was thinking something like a pact or something like that. Like trade or you help us, we help you sort of deal. If that can be a thing? Or maybe even joining the Commonwealth down the road, but that one is probably out of reach.

Purely speculatively, there’s no explicit reason anyone couldn’t have survived - though a dependent colony apparently militarily devastated and cut off from resupply for decades might simply be a tomb.
