My past..... it isn't that sordid....

Well you were pretty much the cause of me going from nine trillion people, three hundred sixty worlds, and five hundred forty worlds, to one planet, five billion people, and one system, it took me fifty thousand years to get back to where I am now.

*insert trollface here*

And I have faith in Vetega. He will rise again, only better and less wanky.

I plead the Interstellar Darwinian defense.

Also, that was due to the actions of an unchecked fanatic, not the Ascendancy itself. Technically, we were not responsible for the regrettable Miranda Incident.

Just a quick thought, and we repelled that thing, we don't know if he's still alive or not, so if you ever reveal a connection, expect a violent reaction, at least in part.

I'll be putting up my RP tomorrow. It's about eldritch planets, Escalan Marines, and temporal displacement. Should be fun. Also, 1000th post. Good night to you all.

Cool. And congratulations.

I do not own a laptop or a computer. Otherwise I would have jumped into IRC. I tried using irc on this phone (it's how I post on NS period cause me poor) but the phone has a severe problem with the irc. It tends to freeze. And then automatically shut off and I lose important data so I stopped trying.

I guess at this point the only reason I would fight a war would be to gain allies and resources. Maybe gain some territory for a few of the colonies.

[Adastri]

Application:

Nation Name: Adastri

Government Type: 'Democratic' republic - there's a clear hierarchy from the current leader and the Pope to the lower-class labourers. Votes are weighted according to class, so the labourers barely count despite there being millions of them and the ones in most need of change.

Technology Base: None, really, so take this as custom. If it helps, most of their technology has already been invented.

Number of Systems Claimed: 2

Number of Occupied Worlds: 4 (mostly just colonies)

Fleet Numbers: There are around 5 small military ships with about 20 missiles between them, 100 civilian transport ships, and one huge ship that holds most of the government (the military ships protect it)

Cultural or Species Specific Data:(as needed, if you're representative democracy humans, this really doesn't apply to you too much)
The original Adastri ship and population were constructed and left Earth as they felt they had been religiously persecuted (not really understandable; they were Roman Catholics) and Earth was getting too overcrowded anyway. It took them years to reach their first system because they were really, really bad at engineering. As soon as they reached it, however, they sent down an escape pod with a few unlucky people and an engineer to see if the planet was suitable for mining.
It wasn't and they all died.
So they tried again on the next planet. This one had no metal of note, but it turned out to be okay for farming. Eventually the labouring population grew and grew, due to the huge amount of money one could make, leaving the upper-class all in the original Adastri. There was a large shortage of metal, however, slowing down transport, so a group of scouts headed out to find a new system with mineable planets.
Soon, three more planets were 'colonized' and mined and became huge lower-class population centres - the upper-classes remaining on the Adastri.

Basically, they're kinda shit at everything.

I can haz reviews? :3

Nation Name: Ularn Interstellar Federation
Government Type: Representative Democracy
Technology Base: Custom
Number of Systems Claimed: 11. 12 if you count the system full of jingoist theocrats who reluctantly allied with us. 13 if you count the cluster of deep space stations near the galactic core.
Number of Occupied Worlds: Between all its systems, the UIF controls just under seventy worlds, all of which have some form of habitation on them. However, only nine worlds boast significant permanent populations.

Sorry, it got buried, and we went only from page twenty on as a quick overview said Essos had grabbed the rest, either he'll so something when he comes back, or when the App. approval hits zero and theres a lot of apps waiting we'll grab it.

No problem. I've TG'ed Essos with a link to the app as well so hopefully it won't be buried this time.

[Korvos]

Nation Name: The Assembled Gathan Republics

Government Type: Very decentralized representative democracy.
Basically, each planet is allowed reasonable authority to govern themselves, but there is a central authority, the Assembly, which has control of more important issues of internal and foreign affairs.

Technology Base: Custom, influenced by Traveller and Starcraft.

Number of Systems Claimed: 8

Number of Occupied Worlds: 6

Fleet Numbers: The AGR Navy is divided into 3 Fleets, each having 100 ships, which are further divided into 5 Battlegroups. A Battlegroup tends to have 1 Capital Ship, 8 Battleships, 3 Battlecruisers, 3 Cruisers, 3 Destroyers and 2 Frigates. These numbers can change, though, as long as there is 1 Capital Ship and at least 8 Battleships. The Fleets are also assisted by Support Groups, which take care of things like logistics, supply, repair and advanced maintenance. Support Groups are comprised of 10 ships.
Overall, the AGR Navy has 400 ships, 3 Fleets and 10 Support Groups.

Cultural or Species Specific Data: The Gathans are humans that were part of a somewhat failed colonization attempt of the planet Gathas. Whatever human civilization that started the colonization effort hasn't come forward yet, and it is believed by the Gathans that they either forgot, decided to wash their hands of it, or didn't have the resources to retrieve them.
Basically, Gathas is like Venus, it looks beautiful from orbit and seems Earthlike, but when you actually make planetfall, the similarities stop. Luckily, Gathas is not like Venus in that it is completely uninhabitable, but life on Gathas was not easy for the early colonists. Gathas has less water than Earth (around 62% to Earth's 71%), much more tectonic activity, and an denser atmosphere containing higher amounts of volcanic gasses. However, the Gathans survived and managed to create their own interstellar civilization.

Alright, I think this might finally be done!

Amusing nation concept. Normally I would point at the 2 systems and four occupied worlds, but I doubt your civ really cares about the worlds being in any way well-suited for habitation. You might want to expound on your governmental system further, and perhaps separate your history away from your species info. Also, a hundred civilian transportation vessels seems a bit like overkill, assuming you're talking about interstellar transports, as I don't see your serf population doing much in the way of interplanetary travel. Other than that, no thoughts.

G-Tech, I have an interesting piece of technology that we could possibly trade with potentially interesting affects. Well, if I get accepted that is.

Just reposting my app. I can't really use the IRC because I'm currently on my phone.

Fleet numbers are a point of a lot of variability in FT, so no number is a 'good' number. Without knowing more about your tech base, the degree of non-localized manufacturing, the distribution of military forces between your worlds, how much your civ uses space-based manufacturing, if you mine asteroids, if you canonically have had interplanetary conflicts, etc. its a touch difficult to give you a reasonable estimate of how many ships you should run with. My advice would be to look at other civilizations accepted in this group around your size and look at their fleet sizes. That failing, think of how many ships you think you need, then cut that number by anywhere between twenty and thirty percent; almost no one has enough vessels for their needs, and there will always be slightly undefended trade routes and colony worlds.

G-Tech, I have an interesting piece of technology that we could possibly trade with potentially interesting affects. Well, if I get accepted that is.

Hmm, I'm intrigued. I shall await developments with baited breath.

Government Type: 'Democratic' republic - there's a clear hierarchy from the current leader and the Pope to the lower-class labourers. Votes are weighted according to class, so the labourers barely count despite there being millions of them and the ones in most need of change. An elected president rules alongside the Pope, and any laws decided on by both are immediately implemented.

Number of Systems Claimed: 2

Number of Occupied Worlds: 4 (mostly just colonies)

The higher-class people live in the largest ship, along with the Pope and elected president. They have a pretty good quality of life, compared to the planetside laborers. The laborers live in sprawling colonies across planets, based around mines, with their oxygen imported from other colonized planets. They tend to spend all their lives mining, trying to cultivate plants and animals in wildly unsuitable areas, or training to fly the cargo ships.

Basically, they're kinda shit at everything.

It's a thing we put together to allow the various nations to establish contact if they don't want to do a first contact RP. It's also for older players to establish multinational treaties and alliances.
