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

[The Orson Empire]

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

We should get a new galaxy map too.

We have one.

[Caecuser]

I've got your revised app loaded up, I'm just typing out the rest of the thread, and the OOC thread.

And I'm using lasers and missiles.

Orson - It's not exactly powerless.

What can it do then?

Well it has international laws which are for the most part enforced in the civilized areas and it could call together a joint-military effort against any intrastellar threats.

How can it have international laws when it rules the whole galaxy?

[The Orson Empire]

We have one.

We are still going to use the old one? I think we should get a new one, and then just transfer the old information over, because I have an idea of how the map could be structured better.

What would happen if a nation refused to obey those laws?

[Toishima]

You get to meet Denger Deathanddoom.

We have a new new map.

And if they didn't... well, then bad diplomatic stuff will happen.

[The Nuclear Fist]

You get to meet Denger Deathanddoom.

And my Hunzoi auxiliaries.

[Oogium]

We have one.

The map is fine, Orson.


As for the Republic, I'd expect it has a sizeable army of its own. It is far from powerless, and could be used as a tool by member states to aid in destroying another one, or at least attacking.

You get to meet Denger Deathanddoom.

And my Hunzoi auxiliaries.

Oh no.....

[Toishima]

If you ask me, the fact that it is there is enough for all intents and purposes. What it actually does has melted off in the years to become little more than "Make everyone a member and make sure they don't leave". When it was created, it was a great alliance, seeking to create a utopian, intergalactic society where all species lived in harmony. Of course, in today's day and age, it has atrophied into a bunch of guys meeting to discuss things nobody really feels or cares about with little actual purpose. The last meaningful legislation would have taken place decades ago, and the department responsible for maintaining the law would bend it as far as it can go to allow the cash to flow into their private bank accounts. And then, when someone is unhappy with another nation, a few well-placed bribes and the Federation Security Council would suddenly and mysteriously have a unanimous vote for an invasion of that nation.

So, the nation that disobeyed the laws would get attacked?

Oh no.....

Member states can have their own armies, right?

10 000 years and a lot of membership shuffling tends to diminish things.

Orson - I expect every single member-state to have their own army and navy and such, members are mostly autonomous.

Exactly. And, if one power bloc bribed them more frequently, the Republic could essentially become their puppet, and they could essentially requisition its fleet whenever they wanted.


And Orson: of course you can have your own military. You'd be screwed if you relied on the Republic to protect you.

Alright.

And I am probably going to be one of the first nations to try to declare independence from the Republic.

I see. So it is corrupt.

Deeply. To absolutely mind-boggling levels. It'd be a bit frightening if there were a country that powerful and that corrupt in Real Life.

[Escalan Corps-Star Island]

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?

Sonic infantry weapons similar to those employed in 40k.

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

Screamer guns?

Emits high-frequency beams of concentrated soundwaves to rupture cell walls and liquefy one's opponent.

[The Orson Empire]

I see. So it is corrupt.

Deeply. To absolutely mind-boggling levels. It'd be a bit frightening if there were a country that powerful and that corrupt in Real Life.

I guess that will be one of the main reasons why I would be one of the first factions to declare independence.

I'm glad I stand aside and do not interfere in such corruption.

Ah. Exactly what 40k's sonic weapons do, except they have a similar effect on most forms of matter.

Membranes or walls? Last I checked walls were only in plant cells... Even so, you've now got one heck of a defoliator! =P

What do you mean?

[The Nuclear Fist]

I'm glad I stand aside and do not interfere in such corruption.

The Hunzoi will participate in and enjoy said corruption. Hell, the Hunzoi representative will likely host the senate's orgies at his own residence on the capital.

Indeed.
