FAR Universe, an FT world [sign-up, open]

[Imperialisium]

Well I have been RPing on a loose schedule with Zaineia, but looking to get more involved.

I was hoping to have my nation placed in the Galactic East if that'd work. I've RPed with G-Tech before and our RPs have always been good so I look forward to any interaction there.

Also, yes I do take some names from the 40k Universe but when it comes to Guardsmen thay have more than just Flashlights and much better tactics than,"Charge and drown them in our blood! *insert Zealous cry for the Emperor here*" lol

just wanted to clarify, my nation can be confusing sometimes haha.

so do you want to be in the FAR north west above Gtech and have an internal war with his flowmetal and show the imperial Guards men how to Win a war not just survive one?

or do you want to be placed somewhere else.

Galactic East would work. I have no doubt that'd I'd run into ol'G-tech somewhere along the way anyways. Anyways it can allow RPing to filter Galactic East too, might be getting involved with the nations their more and perhaps so far westwards as the Coalition.

Alidina, what's the chances of having an all-out civil war between the troops from both sides within the station? Then the commanders have to work together to mediate it or something.

[Stormdawn]

Meep. ._.

We're going to go run away now, 'kay?

As I said, it's very rare to see anti-matter being used. Mostly used in missile form by newer destroyers and dreadnoughts. But keep in mind that most ships use good old nuclear weapons as their staple weapon.

Fair enough... And I suppose I do have some plans for anti-matter stuff too, so there's that.

sent the TG with my idea in it.

Of course, Niteris ships are just as likely to toss a meteor at you.

Eh. That's great against big ships. Stuff that's basically just an engine and a cockpit wrapped around an antimatter launcher, on the other hand...

Strap some warp shields to the meteor.

Hm. Have to go look up what your warp shields are...

Though I'm pretty sure Prem and I have a different kind of Warp that might help.

[The Azoni]

You would need to find the flotilla first, and I don't think the Chosen would want to see naked bipedal anthropods

Would the flotilla be willing to sell some of their degenerates/criminals/sickly to the Niteris for credits, materials, fuel, and ships?

The Flotilla would be willing to work something out in return for ships and materials.

[The Nuclear Fist]

Idea I had. Thoughts?

Civilization: The Niteris
Civilization Name: The Uplifted of Niteris
Common Name: The Niteris.
Government type: Theocratic Illiberal Consensus Democracy
Dominant Cultures: Niteris
Home/Capital planet Niteris
Government Information: The government of Niteris is very malleable, it has very little formal structure. To be blunt, drones mentally link with their nearest Nexus Hub (which is an access point to the hyperspace in which the majority of Niteris live) and debate over a certain issue, generally under the guidance of one of the Great Ones, whom the Niteris worship as gods. This process can take anywhere from several picoseconds to nearly a minute, as time does not tangibly exist in hyperspace and depending on the amount of time for all the minds to reach the nearest Nexus Hub. What us unquestioned, however, is the role of the Great Ones as the uncontested political, cultural, social, and religious leaders of the Niteris. Each Great One represents a specific piece of Niteris space, and for important decisions that effect the whole of the Uplifted, the Great Ones mentally link themselves and debate until a consensus (or very large majority) has been reached. Otherwise, the sections of Niteris space operate someone independently.

Technology focus: Psychic control, exploitation of stars/the cosmos, androids, virtual space, warp and wormhole technology, kinetic weaponry, controlling gravity, repurposing matter into other forms of matter, genetic engineering.
Military Doctrine: Deep battle, defense in depth, strategic victory to overcome tactical shortcomings.
Foreign policy: Generally peaceful, yet also very interventionist and imperialist. It's hard to describe without getting into their morality.
Technological Age: Very ancient. But do to the Niteris' unique situation, there is relatively little expansion.
FTL Age: Also very ancient. 350+ years.
FTL type: The Niteris use the Warp, which was given to them by the Old Ones. The warp is an alternate universe the Niteris accidentally created early on in their experiments with FTL travel. Rather than actually moving FTL, Niteris ships encase themselves in protective energy fields that slingshot them through the Warp, which is an inherently unstable universe that failed to really form, in which the laws of physics don't really apply. The Warp is a negative repellent universe, in so far as that it repels itself. Basically, by encasing themselves in shields made of the Warp, they travel through the Warp at extreme FTL speeds. Of course, the Warp itself can exist for only brief amounts of time when exposed to outside forces.
Warp missiles are missiles that, when they explode, create a very small, but very powerful, wormhole. Anything nearby not protected by a Warp shield gets sucked into the wormhole. Seeing as the Warp is naturally repelled by itself, it is thus attracted to things that are not itself. So anything sucked into the Warp is immediately crushed into something beyond a subatomic singularity.
Of course, the wormhole only exists for dozen or so nanoseconds, and opening it is quite difficult and expensive. Still, it works.
Military information: Niteris military is highly dependent on the rings of Interplanetary Defense Networks, which are built throughout the many asteroid belts in Niteris space and often cloaked to nigh-invisibility by the turbulent Eldritch Veil which acts as a blanket between the bulk of Niteris space and the rest of the galaxy. Celestial Armada flotillas tend to make heavy use of meteors as weapons. On the ground, Niteris troops are heavily dependent on victory. As Niteris Personnel Factories are capable of 'repurposing' corpses for materials, planetary forces tend to get stronger with every exponentially larger and stronger with every battle, and just as weaker with every loss. However, the greatest gift to the Niteris military is communication, which they are experts at.

Population: 130 billion+
Founding species: This is difficult to say. The Great Ones and Niteris founded together in a symbiotic relationship.
Other Species: N/A. Some immigrant races, not many.
Sphere of Influence size: Large.
Major Civilian industries/services: Heavy industry, programming, cybernetics, computers, artificial intelligence, things like that in general.
Society and Cultural information: The Niteris is an ancient race of synthetic lifeforms. Their home planet is actually a very large moon in orbit around a massive gas giant. Their solar system as two small stars. Several thousand years previously, the Niteris were a race of biologicals they now call the Precursors. Their planet, which was routinely bombarded with radiation from stars, made them immune to radiation. But as a result, they had relatively weak immune systems and had sparse muscle growth. To augment their weak immune systems and feeble bodies, the Precursors gave themselves cybernetic implants and 'upgrades'. Using their mastery of such things, the Precursors grew into a massive and powerful empire, belligerent and imperialistic in every way. Unfortunately, their borders soon bumped up against a different belligerent race, which they now call the Dark Ones. A war that lasted three centuries followed. The Dark Ones, far older and far more powerful, pushed deep into the Precursor Empire, who could only stem the flow by throwing massive waves at them. But their enemies preyed upon their natural weakness to illness and disease with virus bombardments, and soon enough the Precursor Empire was in full collapse, dying in droves.

In order to save themselves, the Precursors turned to robotics, transferring the collective minds and souls of their people into Nexus Hubs, rendering them relatively immortal. They built armies of platforms that individual Precursors could control and brought the Dark One advance to a halt. Wracked with dreams of vengeance, they eventually made contact with the Great Ones, an ancient race of Eldritch abominations who the Precursors began to worship as gods. Eventually, the Dark Ones were overcome, the Precursors willingly servile to the Great Ones. And thus began the story of the Niteris.

Society is built around the Great Ones. More to come later.

NS activity: All the time.
Technological Bases: Warhammer 40,000, others, my own ideas.
Prior RP links: Eh?

Species name: The Niteris
Respiratory Gas: N/A, the Niteris do not breathe.
Base Form: Carbon.
life span: N/A, immortal. Machine bodies continue until they break down.
Natural defenses/abilities: The Niteris focus on planetary and interplanetary defence mechanisms, although the ability to rapidly replace losses and adjust augmentation to best fit a threat, combined with the ability of all troops to communicate allows for a decent level of defence.
Aggression: 2/10
Information(Paragraphs): Already done.

Species name: The Great Ones
Respiratory Gas: Great Ones are capable of breathing any gas.
Base Form: Carbon.
life span: Hard to describe.
Natural defenses/abilities: A significant regeneration ability, powerful psychic abilities.
Aggression: 2/10
Information(Paragraphs): Great Ones came from one of the wormholes created by the Niteris, attracted by the Warp. The Great Ones themselves appear to be a cross between an amoeba and a starfish, with no discernible features on its quivering, multicoloured flesh other than a perfectly circular, gaping hole that serves as its mouth, filled with dozens of needle-like teeth. Their body is covered in sensory spots which serve as eyes that can see in multiple spectrums and they communicate via bio-luminescence. The species themselves are aquatic in nature, populating in great gelatinous congregations that perfectly camouflage as oceans.

Of course, it is not an ocean itself, but rather a series of giant amoeba colonies that act as organisms in their own right. The species never stop generation stem cells and are masters of morphallaxis, meaning they can rapidly heal wounds (although are still susceptible to being killed). The species itself does not age (non-senesce). Its stem cells regenerate indefinitely, although it is common for Great Ones to have to occasionally 'reverse' back to their birth form as a polyp, which has done routinely.
