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

[G-Tech Corporation]

Knowing Kaosia/Zernin/EoL/Nore's history, I'm afraid ill have to abstain from voting on his/it's application.

I assume you got my TG.

Indeed. I sadly remain computer-less. I will, however, try to make an appropriate post soon.

[Mauretania Tingitana]

Civilization Name: Free Economic Zone of Mauretania Nova
Civilization Age: Several hundred years older than Earth today
Government type: Constitutional benevolent autocracy, laissez-faire economic policies and Libertarian social policies
Home/Capital planet: Mauretania Nova
Government Information: Mauretania Nova's government is for the most part non-interventionist. It patrols the streets and repairs them, but generally allows citizens to run their own lives. It is regulated as a complex but highly organized and efficient bureaucracy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Military Doctrine: Live and let live; defense is a priority
Foreign policy: Amicable, open to trade with all, doesn't enter alliances
Technological Age (Years beyond RL earth): 1000
FTL Age (Years civilization has had FTL): Since its founding
Military Information: Mauretania Nova's armed forces a incredibly organized and standard. It's comprised of star-ships, space-ships, ground, air and aquatic forces and a well-funded research and development sector.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Population: 30 billion
Founding Species: Human (Homo Novis Sapiens)
Other Species: N/A
Sphere of Influence Size: Switzerland
Major Civilian industries/Services: Entertainment, luxury goods, tourism, weapons development, terraforming, genetic research, medicine, administration/organizational planning, etc.
Society and Cultural information: A curious admixture of all past Earthling cultures, Mauretania Nova is a peaceful society dedicated to the improvement of oneself. While currency certainly does flow within Mauretanian space, it is not a prime factor of living. Exploration, trade and research define Mauretania Nova, and its citizens live the good life.

Summary of your nation (a Paragraph) [spoiler]Earth was becoming crowded and polluted. With options running out, a filthy rich trillionaire sent himself and 2,000 other carefully selected humans into cryo-stasis, intent on landing on a fertile planet light-years away. In an interview, the Founder was mocked, his dream project called a dim failure. He named his new civilization "Mauretania Nova", meaning the new land of the dim, the dark-skinned. Though many of his chosen travelers were of a lighter complexion, the name stuck, and as Earth tore itself apart, his ship went sailing into the stars. After some years in stasis, they landed on the ideal planet, and began anew.

Sum up your nation and government in a few sentences: Mauretania Nova is descended of Earth culture, but is quite distinct from it. Old World values and traditions and customs were sorted through, the undesirable ones discarded, the desirable embraced. Comparing Mauretania Nova to Earth is like comparing the United States to Rome.

Species name: Human (Homo Novis Sapiens)
Respiratory Gas: Variable
Base Form: Carbon
Life span: 100 Earth-years (average)
Intelligence (scale of 1-10 10 being like forerunner and 1 being cavemen): 7
Natural defenses/abilities: Intelligence
Aggression: Negligible
Information: It would be an error to call Mauretanians "human". While they descend from human stock, they have been rigorously stripped of any and all genetic defects/damage. They exist in prime form, free from the toxins and decay of their ancient homeworld. They have been inoculated to adapt to whichever planetary environment they come across, allowing them to spread rapidly without fear of inbreeding or environmental hazard. Though genetically very similar, they have taken on rapid differences from Earth-bound humans.[/spoiler]

There's no Earth in this.

MOTHERF-

Can we say there was and it was destroyed?

[Transoxthraxia]

There's no Earth in this.

MOTHERF-

Can we say there was and it was destroyed?

No. Lol.

That would alter the entire history of the galaxy. Of course, that doesn't mean Humans don't exist, they do. You can model your country like that.

Can we say it did exist but it was very insignificant? Where do humans come from otherwise?

No. Lol.

Can we say it did exist but it was very insignificant? Where do humans come from otherwise?

Iunno. Some other planet. But, if we developed on one planet with the circumstances given, it is statistically probable that life on another planet with similar conditions to Earth, would develop in similar ways.

Alright, I shall adjust my application.

[Abiraclya]

Knowing Kaosia/Zernin/EoL/Nore's history, I'm afraid ill have to abstain from voting on his/it's application.

So with only four Council members, Caecuser's nay and G-Tech's abstention makes Nore's application denied? Or shall we wait until a full Council is formed?

[FAR II Tantalus]

What are the prerequisites for council nomination? I am interested to know.

[Transoxthraxia]

What are the prerequisites for council nomination? I am interested to know.

Been in the previous FAR, a majority vote by the rest of the Council.

[The Rebel Alliances]

Actually, Trans in my nation's lore we have a Earth like origin planet that we had an exodus from. Me and Toishima had kinda cooperated on it a bit.

Have not named it yet...

[FAR II Tantalus]

Then I am disqualified for the first reason. Perhaps one of the co-ops might be interested?

Then our Founder is from there.

I could be on your council. ...

[Transoxthraxia]

I think we have decided that this galaxy is NOT the Milky Way. However, it can be the planet that Mauretania's people come from as well.

[Transoxthraxia]

Then I am disqualified for the first reason. Perhaps one of the co-ops might be interested?

Doranos is the only legitimate Co-Op that has the qualifacations, and he was asked to step down. But he may be pulled in. I will ask around.

[Mauretania Tingitana]

Am I accepted?

[FAR II Tantalus]

With Caecuser and I wrapping up our first contact thread, might anyone else be interested in meeting the Tantalan Construct?

[Transoxthraxia]

Am I accepted?

Well, there are four people who either say you're in or out. It looks fine to me, so that's a vote yes. There needs to be at least two more yesses before you're in. On that note, The Tarquinium's sign-up is in! (Finally...)

Civilization Name: The Tarquinium
Civilization Age: One of the first Civilizations.
Government type: A hereditary oligarchy.
Home/Capital planet: Tarquinii Prime
Government Information: The government is governed by a group of Oligarchs that were chosen prehibernation. These olgiarchs then choose a successor that must be approved by the rest of the oligarchs. These oligarchs have near absolute power, and each has the power to control at least a system, and three planets indirectly using a vassal system. From then on, the oligarchs share complete control of other vassal planets.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Military Doctrine: The Tarquinium's military doctrine relies on super heavy firepower, mechanization, and a strong defensive favor. Both their land and spatial units are heavily based in defense, sacrificing firepower for heavy shielding and thick and powerful hulls.
Foreign policy: The Taruquinium's foreign policy is fairly simple. If you are a friend, then you shlal be hearalded as one. However, any hostile action taken towards the Tarquinium and her peoples will result in not only hostile relations, but perhaps hostile actions as well.
Technological Age (Years beyond RL earth): ~5 Billion Years
FTL Age (Years civilization has had FTL): ~5 Billion Years
Military Information: The Tarquinium's Military is based around the defensive, and attrition warfare. Even in space, they have entire ships that are meant to draw away fire form their main ones. On the ground, they have a similar tactic, where slow-moving groups of infantry are placed under mobile shields generators, and advance, drawing away fire from the more vulnerable artillery and heavy hitter pieces that the extremely mechanized Tarquin Army is mostly made up of.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Population: 3,605,301, Down to the number. This is due to their recent awakening and lack of a quick method of reproduction.
Founding Species: The Tarquins.
Other Species: None, as of yet.
Sphere of Influence Size: Tarquinii Prime. Though there are Tarquin ruins on a plethora of other planets, indicating ancient suzeranity over them.
Major Civilian industries/Services: Right now, their entire industry is focused on reclamation. However, once going, the Tarquin Manufacturing is known to famously produce luxury gods and extremely complex Slave A.I.
Society and Cultural information: The Tarquin Social structure is very complex, and is based around the merits of one's self and conscious, as well as the merits of their actions, rather than things such as honor, which they see as a primitive feeling. Marriage is a sacred ritual between two Tarquins, and they are religiously apathetic. Numerous Cults and Sects of religions exist within the Tarquinium, holding beliefs as extreme as the belief that they inherited the world from their predecessors, and that all other life is inferior to the Tarquins. However, the majority of the Tarquins are very tolerant, accepting people.

NS activity:
Technological Bases: Pictures generally have a Forerunner feel, from Halo. The tech,as I've mentioned in the past sign up, is mostly mine.
Prior RP links: N/A
Summary of your nation: The Tarquinium is the remnant of the ancient Tarquin Empire, that fell during the great disaster, along with the other ancient nations. Unlike the others, however, The Tarquin Empire had a unique solution for their impending doom. They preserved three million, five hundred thousand, three hundred and one of their most important denizens in a state of cryo-stasis, to be reawakened when the Galaxy was determined clean. They were, however, recently awakened due to a mechanical error in the Custodian AI's circutry, that caused the absolute destruction of the Custodian's records, sense of time, and historical accuracy. For the past few years, they have been busy reclaiming, rebuilding, and forging ahead.
Sum up your nation and government in a few sentences: Recently awakened ancient civilization who is on the brink of extinction. They prefer friendly relations over hostile ones, and emphasize technology and defensive doctines in warfare.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Species name: The Tarquin. There is one Tarquin, there are many Tarquini.
Respiratory Gas: Oxygen.
Base Form: Carbon.
Life span: Their low metabolism means that their lifespan can range from one hundred and thirty years, to one hundred and seventy years. However, this is obvious not counted for those who have been in stasis for a couple hundred Millennia, as they have been in a stasis cell.
Intelligence: 9
Natural defenses/abilities: A Tarquin without his customary armor has the ability to use muscular movements to fire a group of needles from it's spine. They also have a sort of sixth sense - When they can't see, or if they are blind, they have a sort of silent echo location, much like bats.
Aggression: 2/10.
Information: I don't really know what to put here, as I have already included it in the rest of the application. A Tarquin is a bipedal, humanoid creature who breathes oxygen. They are rarely seen without their body-suits on, which hold a complete life support system of theirs. It monitors their heart, the amount of Oxygen coming and going from their lungs, and constantly analyzes their bodies for any traces of disease.

I think we have decided that this galaxy is NOT the Milky Way. However, it can be the planet that Mauretania's people come from as well.

I know it is not the milky way. But still it makes sense we started somewhere. Like I said as it stands the planet is only mentioned in our lore. I dont even think I named it yet. But, a species just does not appear on many worlds.

So, I think a origin planet if not earth is somewhat needed. It can be a alternate version like the world of Ace Combat. In both mine and Toishimas lore we have fled the world for unknown reasons.

The Tarquini look very interesting. I look forward to their involvement in the galaxy.
