FAR II [FT Galaxy/Community][Open to Applications]

[The Nuclear Fist]

My AI space-cops have got a good way of punishing repeat-offenders.

I think that my little area is going to be a land of lawlessness, brigands, thieves, smugglers, slavers, and villainy. Generally avoided by all but the worst of souls, the area is lorded over by a series of tribes and warlords and death cults.

Now I just need a species. I was thinking of making them similar to Orks, though I may instead go for a race based on the Mongolian almas.

[The Nuclear Fist]

It's being rebooted - applications and OOC threads should be up today/tomorrow.

Alright, I guess I can go ahead and put up an app.

And I've read about this Galactic Republic thing you are planning to do. Can someone explain the details of it to me?

Think of the USSR in 1990 or the Holy Roman Empire in a bad state. Basically a nation in theory and on paper, but too weak and decentralized to be anything close in reality.

It's more of a Federation, practically everybody is going to be a member to a degree at the beginning of the RP so it gets out a lot of the useless first contact threads and prevents the useless flood-type mindless assimilation species.

The Capital is an Orbital where everybody gets a small section of it - it's kinda like a Halo and everybody meets there for diplomatic events and such. The Federation might also collapse or not in the first RP.

[The Orson Empire]

The app:

Civilization Name: The Order of the Jericho (Also called the Jericho Empire)
Civilization Age: 50,000 years
Government type: Empire
Home/Capital planet: Zion Prime
Government Information: The government of the Jericho is an empire, ruled by Emperor Montague Bakarus, who has been ruling the Jericho ever since the Jericho civilization was founded. No one knows how he has survived this long. In addition, the government is comprised of an Imperial Senate, which elects senators from all sectors of the Empire that represent their sector. All the Senators have a say in what happens, but Emperor Bakarus has the final say.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Military Doctrine: Pretty much, we are expansionist civilization that conquers other civilizations and star systems, but we do make alliances with other factions, so as long as it benefits us.
Foreign policy: As stated above, we do make alliances with other factions. Otherwise, we have a "you mess with us, we mess with you" policy to major factions.
Technological Age (Years beyond RL earth): circa 50,000 years
FTL Age (Years civilization has had FTL): circa 2000 years
Military Information: The Jericho army and space navy are not separate branches. The entire military is merged into one branch which is simply called the Jericho Military. Though FTL technology has existed for centuries, it is still not advanced enough to be able to cross the galaxy easily. Jericho soldiers are extremely tough, and come with a wide array of added cybernetics. A microchip is embedded into their brain, allowing them to better target an enemy easily by seeing how far away they are from them, the speed they are moving towards them, and the ability to be able to zoom in. The Jericho technology is divided into two parts: Kinetic and energy. Kinetic weapons include railguns, missiles, and some rifles. Energy weapons include laser, plasma, and radiation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Population: 8 billion Jericho
Founding Species: The Jericho
Other Species: N/A (that are sentient)
Sphere of Influence Size: 100%
Major Civilian industries/Services: Weapons, construction of spaceships, cloning and genetic modification of food, and dark energy research
Society and Cultural information: All of the Jericho live in an organized, stable society, with some independence but not much of it. They tend to be curious creatures, always wanting to conquer that next obstacle.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NS activity: Frequent
Technological Bases: My own imagination, and a bit of Star Wars

Summary of your nation (a Paragraph): The Order of the Jericho is an older civilization in Tenebris. Despite the Jericho civilization existing for thousands of years, they have virtually stayed out of all major galactic events until as recent as 2000 years ago, when FTL technology became available. The Jericho originated from their home planet of Zion Prime, a planet in the very top of the "northeastern" section of Tenebris. They have conquered several thousand star systems ever since the FTL drive was discovered. However, they have yet to discover the Gate System.

Desired Number of Hexes: 4
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Species name: The Jericho
Respiratory Gas: A mix of Nitrogen, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, and Xenon (basically, they breathe what there home planet's atmosphere is made of)
Base Form: Silicon-based Organism
Life span: 150 years
Intelligence (scale of 1-10 10 being like forerunner and 1 being cavemen): 7
Natural defenses/abilities: Extremely high intelligence and many hand and melee combat styles
Aggression: Medium-high
Information: N/A

Application thread isn't up yet.

Oh, alright.

[Oogium]

Oh, trust me, it will.

Also, that Halo capital thingy?

Yeah.... when the Federation collapses, it's going down hard.





I'm thinking of doing something dangerous and using a different (larger) version of my mainstream nation, who would (for this to work properly), be one of the larger member states and would also be very unhappy with the Republic/Federation/whatever you wish to call it.

[Toishima]

I want to ask a question- not calling for any more 'standardisation' here, but is anyone else using projectile weapons like assault rifles or should I replace them with laser weapons? The current concept is that both assault rifles and lasrifle-style weapons exist at roughly the same cost, but the lasrifles are very hard to clean and remain in service, so soldiers prefer the assault rifles.


Also: Are we using the old app or my revision?

I'd stick with both. I'll be mostly using plasma weaponry, but I think your nation is more interesting with both assault rifles and lasrifles.

Why have the Galactic Republic in the first place then, if it cannot do anything? It might as well not be there.

I will probably participate in its collapse then, as the Jericho would not like the idea of being forced into a galactic government.

And I'm using lasers and missiles.

Alright, I'll use both then. As you can probably tell, we're like a UNSC-style human nation in terms of armament.

I've got an extremely incomplete list of infantry weapons here. It's seriously incomplete, so don't think much of it at this point.

I understand.

[Escalan Corps-Star Island]

I don't think installing one will help my one ship very much.

You're going to have a single ship?

One at a time involved, but there are seven in total. Most won't make an appearance, though.

Sonic weapons.... hmmm...

We actually haven't really seen much in the way of sonic weaponry in FAR, mostly because it's useless in space, I think. Will it just be sonic artillery, or will you have progressed far enough to have sonic infantry weapons?

Spmething like George R. R. Martin's "screamer guns" could be rather cool.

Sonic infantry weapons similar to those employed in 40k.

Also, I think we need to just make a new wiki, since the old one is cluttered with old pages.

I'll have to move all of my pages over then. I think I've got the most number of pages, including quite a few useless, linkless pages that I'm trying to repurpose now. But I am in favour of making a new wiki. With brighter colours, too!
