@ Ovs: I've updated the January results to include your jumps to the nearby systems.

Ah fascinating, and most certainly a shock, that Digeris is in that state as I thought from the canon it had done fairly well in repelling the Reaper assault! Thank you for the quick update!

Is there anything it can be assumed is salvaged or would that happen next turn? I.e any discounted orbital mining facility constructions even if only by 5 or 10% due to the damage? Or is that all wider description not anything mechanical I need to include?

Once you have Pacified a system you'll get all remaining infrastructure as well as colonies, if you choose Pacification over Colonization.

Anyway, I'm wondering if I should make another frivolity post on my end just to spice things up. I'd love to, but I'm not sure what exactly to talk about! There's quite the few options for such an entity as the Duumvirate!

Well I've done more editing to the draft I made but I really don't think there's much else I can do without feedback.

Alright, so, here's the history and not really much else, I wanted to start with this first before editing in the rest and of course

Faction: The Raloi Accord

Leader: President Shingo Mrefu

Diplomatic Relations Summary: TBD

Military Summary: The Accord military can currently be best described as dual-tracked. On one hand, the Terrestrial Forces are a well maintained machine, despite decades of peace. While the Raloi haveoonly been familar with post-bronze age technologies for a few hundred years, they've had a mature culture of military theoryizing from the grand strategic to tactical levels far beyond their technological years due constant warfare between massive palace economies and their 'avian-like' capacity for flight forcing them to think of warfare in three dimensions well before most races ever do. However, having bound themselves to their planet until recently, their Space Fleet is still in its infancy, even though deliberate study and training aided by information gained from their contact with the citadel 20 years has helped made them significntly more familar with space-based warfare than a civlization so new to space otherwise would be.

History:

Turvess is a unique planet in a universe full of varied wonders, whose surface is covered in perpetual storms that makes it all but uninhabitable, but beneath its surface exists another world of massive caverns that connect to each other from one end of the planet to another. Sufficient light makes their way into the caverns due to a planetary surface covered in deep valleys, canyons and pock-marked craters, alongside cavern walls being covered in bioluminescent moss. Water also flows down into underground lakes and seas from kilometres long waterfalls and is sent back up to surface through dangerous moisture laden jet streams.. It is the offshoots of this water cycle that gives the caverns their own weather system, which allows it to teeming with all sorts of different flora and fauna.

Above all the creatures of Turvess are four subraces of avian-like sentients collectively known as the Raloi. There are the wise Mbuni, long-lived, medium sized and ostrich-like, the clever Kasuku, tall and bright coloured, the powerful Tai, large in both width and height and lastly the resilient Kuku, small and durable. The Raloi have neither been in absolute peace, nor in absolute division for their history. All Raloi societies tended to have Mbuni and Kuku in roughly comparable numbers across societies. However, most societies has broadly differing counts of Tai and Kasuku. The two have frequently been rivals due to their respective capacities to serve in the martial classes of their societies. While in some cases they could live in harmony, in most either the Tai or the Kasuku dominated.

Over 300 years ago, the "Sky Peoples", which Raloi would later learn to be the Elcor, arrived to see a society at a stage of development equivalent in technological development to Earth's own bronze age. However, while the technological development was of that era, the philosophical and social development of their society was far beyond that. The simple reality was, the Ralnoi civilization was one of such intense warfare and competition, combined with a unique planet whose basic resources of advanced development were too difficult to access, mean't the knowledge that could have allowed for rapid technological development could never be applied, lest said society was simple overrun by what already existed.

The Elcor's arrival would be one of the things that would change that calculation. Just before their time of arrival, a religious philosophy was spreading. It was purportedly founded by a seemingly mythic individual who was a hybrid of all four subraces of Raloi. Even a hybrid of two of the subraces was exceedingly rare. Few had the mutations to impregnate or be impregnated by another Subrace. Fewer of those survived birth, even fewer of those survived infancy and if they did, they would often be killed as abominations. These hybrids were said to contain the strengths of their parents in equal measure, making the prophet an entirely unique and superior in capacity to all other Raloi. The odds of a 'unified' Raloi were exceedingly low, but to produce one with a unique philosophy while the Elcor arrived, seemed infinitesimally small.

What was that philosophy? It was the notion that not only should the Raloi unite into a singular civilization, they had to. This prophet claimed to have been struck by a vision deep in the cave systems of Turvess. A vision that there existed a threat beyond the surface that the Raloi had to be prepared for, or face destruction. The 'arrival' of the Elcor at first seemed to fulfil this prophecy, driving many to abject terror, but when it came clear that the Elcor meant then no harm, it had a different effect. To some, it lead them to believe tine universe outside of their planet was friendly, to others, it reinforced the reality that there was a world outside of Turvess that could mean them harm, even if the Elcor didn't.

Over the next few decades, at the head of an army that used repurposed Elcor technology, the unified Raloi prophet waged the largest, most deadly war by far in Raloi history, but in the end, the planet was unified. This victory would mean the Establishment of 'The Accord', the Mbuni would lead with their wisdom, the Kasuku would be administrators and specialists across a variety of fields. The Tai would keep the peace and the Kuku would provide the backbone of labor in building this new society. Yet, this new order would not be led by the prophet. Her health would start to fade and rather than choosing an heir, she'd leave behind a democratic order of Synods that would govern the Raloi. As for the Prophet herself she would not stay around to allow herself to become a direct object of worship. She would head deep into the caves of Turvess alone, never to be seen again.

The initiative she had set forth, however, would continue to move forward. The improvement of living standards brought about by unification, which allowed the rapid deployment of Elcor technology and allowed for them to make their own original innovations, made anything but continued unification unthinkable, even if rivalries among the subraces continued. Over the next hundreds of years, The Raloi would put themselves toward a singular goal: maximise the economic strength and population of their civilization, within the confines of the interior of the planet of Turvess alone, without any expansion onto the surface, nevermind space.

In the last century or so, it became increasingly clear that Turvess was approaching the maximum carrying capacity of their planet given their technological know-how. Rather than slow and eventually freeze population growth, the leadership of Turvess, in alignment with a large minority of support in the planet, capable of overriding a majority divided on a proper alternative, carried out the deliberate degradation of living standards in the planet to bring it toward an absolute minimum. Around 20 years ago, while a majority was finally able to unite around one alternative, take a look into space, leading to the detection of an asari cruiser in their solar system and first contact. Kasuku representatives would get to spend the next 2 years studying at the citadel, sending knowledge back that would improve Raloi science and help standards increase. Furthermore, they learned more of the galaxy,specifically the variety of races within it and came to be infatuated with their diversity. So when they learned of the reaper threat, it was a painful shock. So soon after reaching out to the universe, the found that they had no choice but to reenter hiding. But before doing so, they'd have a valiant effort to acquire genetic samples of every sentient race they could get their hands on, determined to wait out the reapers and reseed the universe with what was lost, to reclaim the galaxy for the descendants of those that currently lived in it. Except, of course, with The Accord being the sole dominant force left.

While nearly all Raloi would return to Turvess, a few volunteers would stay behind in the seemingly doomed galaxy, the catalogue all they could before it all went dark and hide it in a predetermined location for retrieval of the passage of the culling. It would be this group, that would instead witness, to their surprise, the destruction of the reapers. This stay behind team would rush back to Ralnoi to tell them of the news. It was met first with relief, it was never a sure thing that they would successfully hide. But it wouldn't be too long before disappointment developed. They had expected to have the galaxy to themselves. An opportunity to claim what they could not, a chance to be like the citadel's founding members, but better. All that was gone, they'd be nothing but newcomers to a mature universe, nevermind the destruction of the mass relays making the ability to expand out into the galaxy even more cost prohibitive than it was for the mature races. They'd do their best to develop their locality as much as they could, but envy burned inside of them. When the news that the mass relays were repairing themselves, The Accord decided that it was now or never to work, and fight, even, to claim their position on the galactic stage and build themselves toward the dominance they believed was invisible well less than a lifetime ago.

Hmm. Very interesting. I'm not really sold on the idea of the Elcor handing off large tracts of technology, including weapons, to a race like the Raloi without revealing them to the Council - that seems pretty strong counter-indicative of the Elcor being slow to act and very rational, and also large believers in the consensus of the Council as a whole. But perhaps a crashed Elcor ship or the like could have given this Prophet a small amount of technology, aiding the conquest process, if not making nearly as large of a technological leap.

Unfortunately, no. Mainly for simplicity, but also because of bureaucratic inefficiencies, embezzling, a lack of transparency and oversight, difficulty administrative a location without physical presence, and so on and so forth.

But truthfully, simplicity. One economy per faction is much more straightforward for me to monitor, and you to work with.

However, most societies has broadly differing counts of Tai and Kasuku. The two have frequently been rivals due to their respective capacities to serve in the martial classes of their societies. While in some cases they could live in harmony, in most either the Tai or the Kasuku dominated.

Over 300 years ago, the "Sky Peoples", which Raloi would later learn to be the Elcor, crashed a spacecraft inside of Turvess in a society equivalent in technological development to Earth's own bronze age. However, while the technological development was of that era, the philosophical and social development of their society was far beyond that. The simple reality was, the Ralnoi civilization was one of such intense warfare and competition, combined with a unique planet whose basic resources of advanced development were too difficult to access, mean't the knowledge that could have allowed for rapid technological development could never be applied, lest said society was simple overrun by what already existed.

The arrival of this elcord ship would be one of the things that would change that calculation. Just before their time of arrival, a religious philosophy was spreading. It was purportedly founded by a seemingly mythic individual who was a hybrid of all four subraces of Raloi. Even a hybrid of two of the subraces was exceedingly rare. Few had the mutations to impregnate or be impregnated by another Subrace. Fewer of those survived birth, even fewer of those survived infancy and if they did, they would often be killed as abominations. These hybrids were said to contain the strengths of their parents in equal measure, making the prophet an entirely unique and superior in capacity to all other Raloi. The odds of a 'synthesis' Raloi were exceedingly low, but to produce one with a unique philosophy while another world changing event occured, seemed infinitesimally small.

What was that philosophy? It was the notion that not only should the Raloi unite into a singular civilization, they had to. This prophet claimed to have been struck by a vision deep in the cave systems of Turvess. A vision that there existed a threat beyond the surface that the Raloi had to be prepared for, or face destruction. The 'arrival' of the Elcor at first seemed to fulfil this prophecy, driving many to abject terror, but when it came clear that no aggressive raiding party followed, it had a different effect. To some, it lead them to believe the universe outside of their planet was friendly, to others, it reinforced the reality that there was a world outside of Turvess that could mean them harm, even if these Sky People's didn't.

Over the next few years, at the head of an army that used repurposed technology repurposed from the crashed ship, the synthesis Raloi prophet waged the largest, most deadly war by far in Raloi history, but in the end, the planet was unified. This victory would mean the Establishment of 'The Accord', the Mbuni would lead with their wisdom, the Kasuku would be administrators and specialists across a variety of fields. The Tai would keep the peace and the Kuku would provide the backbone of labor in building this new society. Yet, this new order would not be led by the prophet.
