Twilight of the Galaxy (OOC, Open) [Reupload in Progress]

[The Empire of Pretantia]

Ooooh, my puppets!

Yeah, I'm stopping here until I can get a better picture of an Atlas II. Maybe not even then, else I'd have four nations having a conversation at once.

Yeah, it would get pretty silly at that point. On a side note, I'll be taking over Chromesthesia from Pret.

I never agreed to this!

And I'm taking the Confederacy!

STAHP

[The Orson Empire]

Dear God, an aggressive hivemind...

In the history of the Cho'Dosans, a hivemind insectoid species known as the Zorgon nearly exterminated the Cho'Dosans until the could be defeated. If you invade, it could cause chaos throughout Covenant space, with many people believing that the Zorgon have returned with vengeance.

Simple, just use Psionic ambassadors. Convince the aggressive hivemind you, too, are a hivemind. It only dislikes singleminded species. Hivemind species are easy to get along with.

The only issue comes forward if they somehow discover you're lying.

Alright.

[The Republic of Atria]

There we go. We are now present at the meeting!

[Free Empire of the Low Isles]

Jelaras, would you like to respond first to the probe and Carrier 39, or should I?

[The Orson Empire]

Pret, do you already know that the Federation and Covenant exists?

We do not know that the Orso Empire exists.

[The Empire of Pretantia]

Pret, do you already know that the Federation and Covenant exists?

We do not know that the Orso Empire exists.

I thought the massive empire that spanned the galaxy would know of each other.

[The Orson Empire]

Pret, do you already know that the Federation and Covenant exists?

We do not know that the Orso Empire exists.

I thought the massive empire that spanned the galaxy would know of each other.

The point of discovering this artifact was for us to make first contact.

But yeah, I do find it a little weird that we do not know each other.

The only issue comes forward if they somehow discover you're lying.

Alright.

Looking forward to it.

[The Orson Empire]

Alright.

Looking forward to it.

Though I think we will end up going to war. Hopefully my new allies would be willing to lend assistance.

And where are you going to make contact with us at?

[The V O I D]

Looking forward to it.

Though I think we will end up going to war. Hopefully my new allies would be willing to lend assistance.

And where are you going to make contact with us at?

I was hoping you'd give me a fringe backwater colony world that no one pays much attention to, and suddenly with the arrival of a bioship that seems to be doing nothing, it's the center of attention, especially after an Ambassador form lands.

They can enter the Cho System, located at the northwestern end of Covenant space in the Sagittarius arm, some 35,000 light-years northwest of Klandulor (the Covenant capital). The only habitable planet in the system is Cho, a frozen, rocky world completely covered in ice; the rest of the system has two barren worlds, one gas giant, and an asteroid belt. The only major city on the planet is its capital, Chosoa, which as a population of 1,000,000 people.

Nation Name: The Eldenian Commonwealth
Government Type: Autocratic Republic - It is a series of checks and balances between the five races of the Commonwealth. The first layer of the government is the Immortal Council, whom represent the collective will of the Eldenian race via psionic link. Though they are not a hive mind able to control Eldenians from afar, they are aware of and process the thoughts of all Eldenians subconsciously linked to them. Thus they are the judges of the government, capable of overruling even the Grand Chancellor on matters. The Grand Chancellor, speaking of which, is commander-in-chief of NavCom, TerraCom, and DefCom. He is viewed as the guardian of the Commonwealth, and as such wields political clout through his ability to shape the opinions of the populace. Thus he makes sure that the Systems Council is held in check, as if they do something that he disapproves of it is quite easy to get politicians replaced with a few well-placed denouncements. Finally there is the Systems Council, a body consisting of proportional representation based upon population from every planet in the Commonwealth. For every billion people a planet is awarded a delegate, excluding many newer colonies from any representation at all. The Systems Council creates laws, though they must be reviewed by the Immortal Council for evidence of riders and corruption before being released throughout the Commonwealth.

History Of Your Nation: The Eldenian Commonwealth began as an Eldenian-Norgan alliance against Kovaki aggression. The Kovaki had begun increasing their military capacity, which had been in shambles since the Twelfth Menneske/Kovaki war. What followed was the finally-deciding Thirteenth Famreal Conflict, in which the Norgan Dominion navy, supported by Eldenian Federation mobile battlestations, once and for all crushed the Kovaki Space Corps and captured the planet Kovak in a bloody and extended ground conflict. Instead of yet another humiliating treaty, the Eldenians forced the Norgans to instead work with them to draft a treaty ensuring future peace within the system. Thus the Fringe Conflicts ended, and the Eldenian Commonwealth was formed. Over the next two centuries the Ruuk-Hon and Garoth were discovered and integrated into the pact, and the peoples of the Commonwealth spread throughout the Famreal system's 30 stars.

However, soon after the last planets were colonized it was discovered that the Famreal systems were not the end of the expanse. Development of the Tachyon FTL system and discovery of gravetic eddies in which they could be used led to the first extra-nebular exploration missions, opening up the true scope of the universe to the Commonwealth. That was three decades ago. Now, with 4 flourishing colonies and a new class of Transition drive the Commonwealth is ready to stretch its wings in the greater galaxy.

RP Example:

[Southeastern Galactic Arm
ECN Terminus]

The hull of the survey vessel ECN Terminus gleamed in the light of the violet alien pulsar, tachyon scanners pulsing FTL particles into the planet every few seconds. Set to best deflection, the reflective plates of the survey ship gleaned brilliant white against the black void of darkness that surrounded them. The planet of interest below them, in contrast, was dark as the great space around it. An awe-inspiring ammonia sea roared upon the surface, black waves almost touching the ship as they rose in tidal waves topping 3 kilometres above the obsidian continents. It was amazing that anything lived upon the world.

Then again, perhaps the inhabitants of the Terminus should not wonder quite so much. Many of them were little more than energy held together by personal gravity fields, after all, miniature stars in their own right. However, they had not been born upon a planet, leaving the title of most impossible planet-dwelling life form to the amoeba beneath them. Several specimens were already located within the storage bays of the survey vessel, bound for the intensive-study labs orbiting the stellar forge of Modesia.

The survey vessel- well, maybe that was not the correct term. The ECN Terminus was a Skirmisher-class corvette, based out of the Commonwealth-class fleet carrier Luminary, and the only reason they were able to collect this data was the fact the Luminary was currently drawing matter from the pulsar to refill it's depleted planetary mass reactor. The massive ship had been tasked with a long-haul voyage in the Inner Rim for a reason known only to the Council, and even they were sceptical of it.

Find the Imperical Remnant.

Two days ago, proximity alerts had pierced every starbase guarding the Famréal system, something which should never, ever happen. When a civilization was this far from the Galactic Core, visits should be accidental, if not nonexistent. This, however, was certainly not an accident.

[Two days previously
Outer Famréal Nebula
Task Force 7]

Gleaming bows cut through the blue gases of Famréal as the 26-ship TF7 rocketed towards the proximity alert, already in standard Rebbelion battle formation. Defence Station 153 had gone dark ahead of them, no longer transmitting signals not seen in decades. Signals that were not even remotely welcome here, of all places.

Fleet Admiral Veris Eldenian stood behind the captain's chair of the ECN Heart of Modesia, glowing eyes scrolling over the feed transmitted from DS153 moments before it was destroyed. In all honesty, there was not much for it to work with. The Nebula blocked most signals as effectively as any cloaking device, made worse by the gravetic anomalies known to spontaneously impact the clouds of gas and energy. All it could make out were the thrice-damned particle beams of the former Empire slicing through the main sensors, killing the feed and isolating the incredibly powerful station from the main command in Modesia.

What do you make of it, Captain? Veris echoed, the psionic communication piercing directly into the mind of the individual targeted. In front of him, not quite lounging in the command chair of the most powerful vessel in the Commonwealth, Captain Cole Ferguson winced as the worming sensation twisted his neurons in ways they should not be twisted, an incredibly uncomfortable sensation to say the least. I was certainly not meant to talk to Eldenians, he thought, closing the feed that he had been watching in favour of focusing on the conversation.

Indeed you were not, Cole, but that does not change the need to speak with your commanding officer, Veris mused, its tone shifting in an attempt at amused.

Cole scowled at the energy being behind him, though his eyes did not lose their inner warmth. Can't you just pluck what I think from my mind, Eldy? Or did you suddenly grow a conscience?

Veris rolled his eyes, no easy feat for an Eldenian, before replying. You know that I can only hear specific words, Norgan, cease your games and report. Time is of the essence, after all. We close with the defence station in 2 minutes.

Cole hesitated for just a moment before replying, but not to Veris. "Navigation, give us a tachyon ping, wide burst. Time to see what we're dealing with here."

"Aye, sir!" Ensign Tiamura exclaimed, hands deftly navigating the holographic controls. The woman may have just graduated from the Stella Academy on Norga, but she knew her way around the advanced interface, and within moments a piercing ding swept through the ship, signalling the ping. Everywhere crew members made last-minute preparations, anticipating an order for general quarters. They were not disappointed.

On the bridge, the holographic projector in the center suddenly lit up, the ping highlighting the real-time positions of everything within 100AU of TF7. Everybody froze, and Cole was even sure that he heard somebody drop their holopad in shock. He was too busy gaping at the projection to glare at them.

The threat board was now lit up with what was left of DS153, the scattered remains of the great station interspersed with distress beacons screaming lightspeed signals back towards Famréal. "What in the Stars..." Tiamura whispered, while simultaneously running calculations on her tablet. Her face fell and she handed the device to Cole. "Material analysis shows 5 Empire ships hiding within the wreckage, sir. They were planning an ambush." Cole nodded. It made sense, after all. The old Modesia-class frigates wouldn't have been able to detect those ships, and the Empire didn't know about the Commonwealth-class, it seemed.

All ships, this is Fleet Admiral Eldenian, Veris interjected, it's echoing voice piercing into the communication systems of the entire flotilla. It appears the fears of NavCom were correct. There are Empire ships in the debris ahead. Ping and engage with energy weapons, 2 volleys. Link battle net to the Modesia.

The fleet hurried to respond, targeting systems linking and ships staggering into a firing line even as the vessels burned delta V and engaged basic defensive maneuvers. When in position the fleet flipped as one, engines stopping their burn long enough to fire a wall of blue energy into the void before the spinning ceased and they were once again accelerating away from the station, rapidly bleeding velocity in order to engage the enemy ships at non-relativistic speeds.

On the bridge of the Modesia the command staff waited with baited breath, watching the projected courses of the lasers and mentally calculating how long it would take the lasers to reach the station and for light to return to the visual sensors and let them know the result of the strike. After seventy seconds the fleet was rewarded, cheers roaring through the ships as three of the enemy vessels were sliced to pieces before they could activate their shields, the 1c attack hitting them before they knew it was coming.

The celebration was short-lived, however. The two remaining enemy vessels, both dreadnaughts, rose in a cold fury at the atrocity befalling their brothers, shields establishing a red glare over the black metal of their hulls. Fire streamed from their weapons ports as they returned fire, but the fleet remained secure; evasive action had caused the enemy vessels to miss by multiple thousands of kilometres. Opening shots consumed, the opposing fleets closed to knife range, and the real battle began.

Present Day
ECN Terminus
Unidentified System

Captain Josephine Lewis snapped back from her daydreaming as the soft ping from her control panel signalled the end of the survey, the shuddering of the Tokamak reactor deep within the ship seeming to quiet. That was certainly her imagination, however; there was no way to hear the Tokamak from the bridge, no matter how small a vessel it was. As a Skirmisher corvette the Terminus measured at 250 metres in length, and was 100 metres at its widest point. Still not small enough to hear antimatter/matter reactions from the engine, at any rate.

Signalling for the rest of the 24-man (or machine) crew that they were moving out and seeing nothing but green acknowledgement lights, Josephine fired up the VASIMR/Gravetic sublight drive and pulled away from the ocean world, accelerating back towards the Luminary at a tame 100g acceleration. It was high time to move to the next system. Surveying didn't have quite the same thrill as the most recent Battle of Famréal, but at least she didn't have particle weapons attempting to cook her crew to shrivelled husks and drifting energy patches. It would do.

Next stop, the Galactic Core.

It was high time to move to the next system. Surveying didn't have quite the same thrill as the most recent Battle of Famréal, but at least she didn't have particle weapons attempting to cook her crew to shrivelled husks and drifting energy patches. It would do.

Next stop, the Galactic Core.

[The Fallen Jedi]

Hmm, right now I'm in the mood for a First Contact gone hostile, hey Orson, want to be the very first person to battle against my Dynasty?

[The V O I D]

I mean, the Orso Empire knows bunches about the Chromesthesians.

They are already apart of your history, though.

I was hoping you'd give me a fringe backwater colony world that no one pays much attention to, and suddenly with the arrival of a bioship that seems to be doing nothing, it's the center of attention, especially after an Ambassador form lands.

They can enter the Cho System, located at the northwestern end of Covenant space in the Sagittarius arm, some 35,000 light-years northwest of Klandulor (the Covenant capital). The only habitable planet in the system is Cho, a frozen, rocky world completely covered in ice; the rest of the system has two barren worlds, one gas giant, and an asteroid belt. The only major city on the planet is its capital, Chosoa, which as a population of 1,000,000 people.

Any eastern colonies? I feel like considering the Thonir Collective is in the far east of the galaxy, if one of their exploration bioships entered your system, it'd be in the east.

Nation Name: The Eldenian Commonwealth
Government Type: Autocratic Republic - It is a series of checks and balances between the five races of the Commonwealth. The first layer of the government is the Immortal Council, whom represent the collective will of the Eldenian race via psionic link. Though they are not a hive mind able to control Eldenians from afar, they are aware of and process the thoughts of all Eldenians subconsciously linked to them. Thus they are the judges of the government, capable of overruling even the Grand Chancellor on matters. The Grand Chancellor, speaking of which, is commander-in-chief of NavCom, TerraCom, and DefCom. He is viewed as the guardian of the Commonwealth, and as such wields political clout through his ability to shape the opinions of the populace. Thus he makes sure that the Systems Council is held in check, as if they do something that he disapproves of it is quite easy to get politicians replaced with a few well-placed denouncements. Finally there is the Systems Council, a body consisting of proportional representation based upon population from every planet in the Commonwealth. For every billion people a planet is awarded a delegate, excluding many newer colonies from any representation at all. The Systems Council creates laws, though they must be reviewed by the Immortal Council for evidence of riders and corruption before being released throughout the Commonwealth.
National Leader(s): Grand Chancellor Case Everson, Immortal Dignitary Veris Eldenian, Systems Council Speaker Tirianal Veriax
Population: 300 Billion
Star Systems: 5 systems
History Of Your Nation: The Eldenian Commonwealth began as an Eldenian-Norgan alliance against Kovaki aggression. The Kovaki had begun increasing their military capacity, which had been in shambles since the Twelfth Menneske/Kovaki war. What followed was the finally-deciding Thirteenth Famreal Conflict, in which the Norgan Dominion navy, supported by Eldenian Federation mobile battlestations, once and for all crushed the Kovaki Space Corps and captured the planet Kovak in a bloody and extended ground conflict. Instead of yet another humiliating treaty, the Eldenians forced the Norgans to instead work with them to draft a treaty ensuring future peace within the system. Thus the Fringe Conflicts ended, and the Eldenian Commonwealth was formed. Over the next two centuries the Ruuk-Hon and Garoth were discovered and integrated into the pact, and the peoples of the Commonwealth spread throughout the Famreal system's 240 stars.

However, soon after the last planets were colonized it was discovered that the Famreal systems were not the end of the expanse. Development of the Tachyon FTL system and discovery of gravetic eddies in which they could be used led to the first extra-nebular exploration missions, opening up the true scope of the universe to the Commonwealth. That was three decades ago. Now, with 4 flourishing colonies and a new class of Transition drive the Commonwealth is ready to stretch its wings in the greater galaxy.
