[Libero Elysium]

The official name of your nation: The Kraterocratic Independent Realm of Libero Elysium.
Will your nation be allied with Octavia?: Neither friend nor foe, though that might change.
What is your nation's goal in dealing with Octavian expansion?: If we were to catch wind of this somehow, we'd first try to find out what is happening and then plan on how to deal with it before making any irrational decisions.
What is your tech level?: FanT
Additional information (put N/A if you have nothing): Sup, I'm Batavia . Posts made by this nation will probably be more character-focused.

[The Dominion of Mankind]

The official name of your nation: The Dominion of Mankind
Will your nation be allied with Octavia?: Neutral (The Dominion isn't very good at making friends, has basically zero diplomatic experience and the enemies here are a bit too small)
What is your nation's goal in dealing with Octavian expansion?: Primarily observation. The idea here is a single Frigate is crippled and pulled into this reality by some eldritch fuckery and now cut off from the rest of they are equal parts fascinated and horrified by the huge diversity of alien species at play.
What is your tech level?: FFT
Additional information (put N/A if you have nothing): This is my first RP but I'll try not to godmod or get involved with any serious fight involving a lesser. I also won't have the Frigate fuck off to some far corner and start replicating itself into a Von Neumann swarm because that's unfair and boring. I might possibly write in some uninvolved enemies that the Frigate can fight in the background (to the worry of some I'm sure) if this is acceptable.

[South Reinkalistan]

Following some developments orchestrated by Il Passione in this RP that I consider to be repulsive on an OOC level, I shall henceforth cease to take part.

Consider all SR involvement in this to be voided.

[TheMandate]

Sorry to see you go Rein, Passione has been booted for it. None of us are comfortable with what's been said.

This is an app for a group to help out the Octavians a bit though I will continue as the Mandate.

The official name of your nation: The Pandoran Remnant
Will your nation be allied with Octavia?: Only for so long as they are fighting the Mandate.
What is your nation's goal in dealing with Octavian expansion?: To refine their latest creations in the hopes of one day taking revenge against the Mandate.
What is your tech level?: FT
Additional information (put N/A if you have nothing):

[Imperial-Octavia]

First and foremost, due to some unsavory pervious comments the player behind Passione has been banned form this RP, now onto more cheerful matters

[The Dominion of Mankind]

The official name of your nation: The Domain of the Simulacra
Will your nation be allied with Octavia?: Yes, though involvement will be hamstrung for 'balance' reasons.
What is your tech level?: FFT
Additional information (put N/A if you have nothing): They are natural enemies of the Dominion and will probably have a big war with them in the background, icly limiting their involvement in the Octavian galaxy.

[Omegaopterix]

Will your nation be allied with Octavia?: No, at least at the beginning
What is your nation's goal in dealing with Octavian expansion?: To prevent Octavian expansion into Zixian space, but to also attack and loot Octavia for tech and information on absorbed biological species, and maybe even take parts of the Imperium. If allying with Octavia becomes a better alternative, then that is a possibility.
What is your tech level?: FFT, Biotech, Eldritch wargear
Additional information (put N/A if you have nothing): The Zixians are an alien race that shares a mixture of characteristics of arthropods, medusozoans, reptiles, and mammals. Often warring with each other, they often ally for protection against external threats and to enslave and/or assimilate other races. Much of their technology is based around gene-forged gear and interdimensional items gathered through strange rituals or excursions into other realities.

Sweet mother of god I've missed so many events during my hiatus in this acc... can someone please summarize the events that have happened in the last... 1.5 months?

Basically, Earth is still getting Ransacked, some new FFT boys have joined and their FFT enemy wants to join Octavia to help beat back the other FFT nation (same person doing all that), a memetics attack was launched on Bloodshade, a new space battle is happening over a planet named Paraoon, and the fight between The Paramount and everyone else is finally happening

What is your tech level?: FT

[Eriaroon Eugenic Republic]

The official name of your nation: Eriaroon Eugenic Republic
Will your nation be allied with Octavia?: No.
What is your nation's goal in dealing with Octavian expansion?: The EER seeks to preserve itself amidst a universe of demons and the condemned. The Octavians are machine-demons, unworthy of continuity. To purge them would be ideal, but in practical terms the EER simply wishes to neuter the threat they present to the fallen.
What is your tech level?: FT- though admittedly on the lower end of FT for the most part.
Additional information (put N/A if you have nothing): There isn’t all too much on EER equipment and the like at this stage, sadly. Hopefully what is known is enough. On biology and society I have more information. Eriaroons are weird. I’m mainly just here for the fun of it and cannot predict post quality at this stage

[Kasa Tkoth Sphere]

To hell with it. Let's get this up right now.

The official name of your nation: the Kasa Tkoth Sphere
Will your nation be allied with Octavia?: While it has a vested interest in averting Octavia's immediate destruction, it stands in favor of its eventual destruction, so "anti-Octavian" may fit best.
What is your nation's goal in dealing with Octavian expansion?: The K-Sphere is well-aware, as a very similar state, that Octavia contains an absolutely enormous population of minds plugged in for hedonism and restricted mostly by their budget. Holder of Dreams thinks it a very straightforward task — if massive-scale cyberwarfare and metatech warfare is "straightforward" — to convince as many of them as possible to join its own network instead with promises of hedonism without budget limitations. Doing this might sort of destroy their population as a secondary effect, but that would just so happen to be better for the rest of the universe too.
What is your tech level?: I wish I could give you something more specific than "future tech", but every more fine-grained scale is garbage and I still don't have a coherent understanding of how I would make my own. K-Sphere spacecraft are "radiators, micromissiles, and fusion drives", their infrastructure is "a matrioshka brain, but the kind made of statites with the thickness of paper", and their computing is "a superintelligence of the sort that Yudkowsky warns people about".
Additional information (put N/A if you have nothing): Will join after the timeskip and feature an intentional continuity error allowing for the Milky Way conflict (in its canon) to still be currently ongoing. The instigators of the conflict will serve only to attack K-Sphere ships and really ruin their plans until such time as they might be fun to introduce properly.

[Royal Frankia]

CODE: SELECT ALL
The official name of your nation:Dread Realm of Frankia
Will your nation be allied with Octavia?: Hostile, they are abominations unto the Mater Most High
What is your nation's goal in dealing with Octavian expansion?: Drive the Ocatvians and their back into their own citadels, set up friendly regimes in the liberated zones , and make peace upon the scrap of the void.
What is your tech level?: FFT, post-scarcity, and a focus on kinetic weaponry/formation tactics.
Additional information (put N/A if you have nothing): Frankia has been involved in Cosmic Clashes involving large numbers of craft in the past, though has since kept a low profile on the international stage. Her aims are simple and she desires a good fight, if there is one to be had.
Did you read the rules?:Yes, and am willing to lower my overall ship count in this rp by rping an expeditionary force/the defense of important colonies and outposts within this region of space.
OOB will be posted in discord, if accepted.. I'd like a brief rundown on events, numbers, and which faction at present is in the ascendancy.
