TNF, your sound wielding soldiers remind me of the fremen from dune. Any connection?

Why do they remind you of the Fremen?

Sound weapons of course! http://dune.wikia.com/wiki/Weirding_Module

Oh. . . oh god.

I just. . . I just had the best idea for the Hunzoi.

Once their planet is destroyed, the few actual survivors left will be in possession of digital 'copies' of those who died on Hunzoi Prime, uploaded moments just before destruction. The copies will be partially corrupted. New bodies of synthetic, rubbery flesh and robotics will be built for them, but they will not be the same. Combined with the corruption of the hasty transfer and the existential despair, all-consuming fatalism, and shock of losing their planet will render them quite insane. An entire race of scattered, insane doom cultists. Depraved, hedonistic, and vicious almost to a man and raiders of fame, the ever present threat of Hunzoi raids is one that grips the hearts of many post-civil war leaders.

Their cruelty and brutality are legendary, their depravity infamous. It will be common to see wealthier Hunzoi have their synthetic flesh replaced with flesh from captured slaves, ensuring some of them look like frankenstein monster cyborgs.

Now that sounds good, doesn't it?

You should mount some shollogian heads on your walls.

Very neat. That inspires me to have Hunzoi sonic weapons produce nonsensical screaming and demoralizing shouts at the enemy, as well as exploding sonic beams.

Out of curiosity, I want to RP the Empire in question, one not of the Federation. Let's just say that the Empress has no desire to deign with the 'Lesser' races of the galaxy. Can I use an alternate FTL device? I was thinking, to keep in line with the spirit of what you're trying to do, we could say that the Drive Name "X" is nearly as fast as the Federation's, but it is highly energy inefficient and is thus easily detectable from a great distance away. Thus, any armada of hostile ships would give themselves away long before they approached your system. Would something like that be acceptable?

Blast iPhone and it's infernally tiny keypad.

[Vortukia]

So with my new updated nation am I accepted?

[G-Tech Corporation]

So with my new updated nation am I accepted?

Looking at it, I'm doubtful. The information-sharing and infinitely-living species is a bit off; also, your civ will have industries.

[Vortukia]

Coming from a person who doesn't even have a nation description. And we're synthetics.

[G-Tech Corporation]

Oh yes, I'm completely finished with my application.

I'm aware. Even synthetics have industries, I assure you of that,

[Vortukia]

We manufacture more bodies...And materials what are we supposed to export honey to organics?

[Torrocca]

... Boy, did you just attempt to insult G-Tech?

Oh, you're in for it now!

[Vortukia]

Relax just a little playful joking. I'm sure his App will be great it's unique already.

[Segmentia]

Finally got my app up. Just in time for me to accidentally not save the Word file, yay.

No. You start off as a part of the Federation, no exceptions. You can still be an empire, but you're a member of the Federation. Considering it's effectively the Holy Roman Empire in space, that really means you're essentially de facto independent.

[The Nuclear Fist]

So, who wants to be the ones who destroy the Hunzoi homeworld?

[Segmentia]

So, who wants to be the ones who destroy the Hunzoi homeworld?

I volunteer. *nods*

[Vortukia]

I do.

Alright, let's talk about it via telegram. Go ahead and TG me.

I have no problems if the Federation claims that the Empire is a member, but the Empress owes them no allegiance and will turn on them faster than a starving dog in front of someone lathered in Bacon Grease!

Actually, it was more a question regarding the FTL idea, than the membership thing... You know, this little ditty?

Just keep in mind your empire is a part of the Federation and so still de jure ows its allegiance to the Federation, though it is free to secede in the upcoming civil war.

You can have a 'backup' FTL I think, but as long as you're a part of the Federation you have to use the same FTL as everyone else.

This changes my whole app. I thought I was already apart of the rebellion.
Oh wait.
It doesn't.
Because I'm human.

Stop complaining, no one is going to target you specifically because you're human. You need to learn how to differentiate between playful OOC banter and actual plans.

[Vortukia]

Beep Beep death to organics.

[Alidina]

first I would like to agree with TNF about understanding the difference between OOC banter.

Next I would like to point out Everyone starts apart of the federation the civil war is planned after the starting summit thread.

Oh. Alright. Time to change my app.
