"Infinitus Dominium" Grand OOC

Ugh. Our average weight is 170 earth pounds, at least on Vaxon. We're extremely skinny and tall, as I said before, because we weigh lots less.

However, we're still capable of lifting lots of things.

@Sarth.

It's not bullcrap, it's science. The moon counteracts the sun and Earth's gravity.
Earth's gravity wants the water to crush in onto the planet, and the Sun's gravity wants the water to float to it because of how close we are to the sun. Therefor, the sun would outweigh the Earth's gravity and win, therefor bringing the Earth to an end. WE need our moon on Earth.

Also, if you REALLY think our planet is incapable of life, think again. They found a jupiter-sized rock planet that they believe supports life.
Satellite imaging also proves this, via greenish coloring being on the planet. Enough said.

So why doesn't Venus's atmosphere fly off to the Sun? Why not Mercury's crust? Why just water?

Especially Mercury's crust. Given that the extreme temperatures it exposes leaves it with relatively weak IMFs holding it together, it should be easy to remove by Vax's logic. Water, on the other hand, experiences hydrogen bonding, and at the stable temperature it maintains on Earth, should be far more difficult for solar gravity to manipulate than Mercury's crust.

This has absolutely no relation to what I said.

It says that it could hold life, but they're still investigating. I stopped reading after about a paragraph or so.

@Dask/Sarth.
Do I really have to dig in my archives for those articles?

1. Answer the question. When the Sun and the Moon are pulling the same direction, why doesn't the water fly away?

2. THE DAILY MAIL IS NOT A CREDIBLE SOURCE JESUS CHRIST

2. So? It's still possible.

Quite accurate. Also, if you read through the article, it becomes apparent that it was not written by a professional.

Alright, look through them then. Source aside, the Daily Mail article itself describes the MOONS of gas giants as potentially habitable, not the planets themselves. I strongly suspect you simply googled "jupiter habitable" and copy pasted the first link you came across.

No. I found that a while ago and kept it in my archives as I do many things.

[Caecuser]

I think that Vaxon went along the lines of how could I possibly have a home planet big enough to contain so many people and have as many resources to sustain them - I know, make the planet as big as one of the biggest known planets (never mind that it's a gas giant).

(Insert Nation Flag/Insignia here)
Civilization Name: Corpus Umbrae
Civilization Age: 4572 Of lost hope

Government Type: They have a caste based society that could be compared to the society described by Plato in his Republic. They have three castes that run different parts of their society and they leaders of the castes act as the three rulers of the Corpus. These castes are the workers, the soldiers, the explorers. However what is important to know is that ones caste isn't set in stone and one can shift between them at will, but their society focuses on that one should know their limits and focus on their strengths. As such their society is highly ordered and efficient and can quickly focus on objectives their leaders set for their society. For example if they were to declare war their entire society would quickly shift into a total war style of warfare.
Government Information: The most important people in their government are the three leaders. Leader of the soldiers are Dominus Miles Leto, their workers are Dominus Scolaris Caius and finally we have the leader of the explorers which is Dominus Inventore Quintus. They are a rather divided group as they all have different views on how to run their society, however they still try to compromise as much as possible.
Government Status: Stable but with some bickering among leaders.
Population: 1 billion.

Home World/Capitol: None their homeworld was destroyed by a meteor and since then most of their society lives on a spaceship/city called Asticus Magna
Capital Status: Has begun to be overcrowded and therefore they have begun a large expansion of their ship.
Notable locations and such: Their bazaar. Hydroponics and docks.
Founding Species: Arakh
Other Species: None
=========================================================
Society and Cultural information: As a society they view themselves as superior and don't have any problem with capturing other races as slaves to be used or sold. Yet they will often trade with other races to get resources they can't produce on their own. As such they can seem to be hypocritical, but for them it just about the profits they stand to gain. Besides their slaver ways they sometimes raid undefended colonies to steal resources that can be traded. What many governments hate about the Corpus Umbrae is that they will trade anything with anyone including harmful substances, weaponry and the like aslong as they make a large profit.
Society Status: A highly ordered society that will trade with everyone given they chance.
Languages: Corpurian
Economy: For their size a 7 but for other races 1-2
Industry: Large production of illegal substances that are sold to drug lords. Are mostly merchants with a low production base so they usually buy cheap in one place and sell it expensive in other places.
Production/Construction: Makes several drugs made from a plant called Vitae that is highly addictive, apart from that they are excellent shipwrights and salvagers.

Soopah Powah: Highly mobile due to their wormhole drives. Also they are very secretive and very few people have seen them directly and even fewer know that they are a race.

Specialties/Advanced Sciences: Wormhole drives. Master of ship, since they spend most of their lives on spaceships they are good at building, maintaining and salvaging ships.
Strengths: Nomadic. Will trade with everyone with anything.
Weaknesses: Unable to colonize efficiently. Centered population, if their capitol was to be destroyed then they would be practically extinct.
=========================================================
Map Claim Size: 1 (Scale 1-10 1 being small 10 being huge)
Grid Coordinates: none
Map Claim Color: Black, grey or red in that order if available

Holdings/Territory: Qan system, where their capitol is currently stationed.

Colonization/expansion: They problem with they Corpus Umbrae is that they can't colonize an entire planet regardless of atmosphere. All Arakh suffers from an inherited illness that makes it impossible to live in an atmosphere without Vitae plants. Vitae plants release a chemical into the air where they grow which most races from the Arakh homeworld have a symbiotic with. For example the Arakh don't need sleep and have a fast metabolism and have a rather large muscular density, but Arakh born without the Vitae present are all stillborn and very weak. And to make matter worse if an Arakh is deprived or Vitae they will gradually grow weaker until their hearts simply stop. As such they few colonies they have are isolated buildings where there is a constant flow of Vitae gas.
=========================================================
Foreign policy: As weaker races that are to be used and enslaved. But they know they are currently weak and therefore exercise caution. (How you view and treat other nations.)
Diplomacy: None yet.

Technological Age: Mass effect period except different ftl drives and weapons tech. (Rough estimate,  feel free to use terms if you like, but not to limit options, it can be based loosely on Earth years, or at least a relative benchmark or comparison)
FTL Capabilities: Their ships can generate a wormhole to any point in the galaxy and travel there, but depending on distance and energy spent the travel time will change. Therefore most ships dock with their Capitol before making a long distance jump.
Inter Planetary Travel: Often used for trading and raiding.
=========================================================
Military Information: The Corpus Umbrae military strategy relies mostly on it's advanced spaceships and infantry when conducting military campaigns, but this is just when the war commences. Before a war will begin they will start to support dissidents and terrorist inside the target nation, giving them weapons and supplies in exchange for doing what the Corpus want from time to time. This allows them to eliminate enemy leaders, infrastructure before the war begins. When the battle begins the Corpus will utilize all means possible to end the war quickly and lower their own causalities, since they have an extremely small population.
Doctrine: At first they will a orbital superiority and start orbital bombardments on all strategic objectives. Then their infantry will be dropped onto key locations with their dropship acting as gunships and providing aerial superiority.

Army: All army groups are grouped in squads of then and then assigned a dropship with minor FTL capabilities. All squads are trained to the level of most special forces and often has greater experience as they quite often serve as mercenaries for other species.

Navy: The Corpus navy is based on high speed and high damage style of combat with them dropping out of their wormhole making a swift attack then leaving again. As such many find them highly annoying to fight as engagements with them can last for quite some time before.

Strengths: Very strong individual soldiers. Top class space ships. Total War.
Weaknesses: Need re-breathers to survive of their ships. Low population.
=========================================================
NS activity: Has been missing for some time but have begun to comeback again.
Technological Bases: None really, maybe mass effect quarians but most from my head.
Prior RP links: None that still exists, but have played Rp on roleplaygateway.

Interesting... I don't really see any problems with it. Your low population might be a problem if you make the wrong person angry and they decide to institute a policy of curb stompage upon you.

Also, where's your species app? Or did you do one separately?
