>Implying that was the WMD
My WMDs usually consist of nightmare fuel abominations... A few of which we'll be discovering in the system we just found.

The Sun Maker is likely not gonna make an appearance unless it'll be really, really cool and totally worth the price of tearing a chunk out of a metal planet and destroying a solar system.

This just in: Anowa is Hidetaka Miyazaki.

Xenomorphs + Starship Troopers Bugs = Super agile space crocodile.

Also Not!Krogan. Should be fun.

Maybe throw in some Dancer of The Boreal Valley type stuff.

You're making 682 in space. Good job.

Yup.

Except it won't really be contained.

It never really is, is it?

You could almost say, that there was a Containment Breach^TM.

[Anowa]

Yup.

Except it won't really be contained.

It never really is, is it?

I mean, SCP hasn't let it escape, while fully intend on dropping mine from orbit... and letting it reproduce.

Well, in this case, Ithalian, may I ICly declare that my low-powered Death Star is under construction? As stated previously my main desire for such a weapon is to RP the political consequences of having such a thing, internally and externally.

I suppose so.

I will say this however. If anyone starts to flaunt these things as their primary means of achieving victory, so help me, things will get very rough for you very quick.

[Turmenista]

In order to stay relevant and in this, post is to come soon.

[The Empire of Pretantia]

Okay, I decided after long days of idleness and soliloquys I decided the Orso Empire despises the Tagali because fuck smurfs and GOTTAGOFAST Tagali versus power armor is fun. Ave Orso!

But why?

Because you get a -500 penalty from border friction.

Have you already gone to war?

No, stay out of my business.

I didn't think border friction gave you such a large penalty.

I assume the reference is to Stellaris.

It does when your neighbor is blue.

No, it's a Call of Duty reference.

Look, at the moment, I have no interest in Sol controlled space. Go away.

News of what the UGC is doing is probably gonna take 100000000 years to reach the rest of the Galaxy, if it even does.

Would you like for there to be a first contact situation at some point?

Soon. What's about to happen in my post is very likely going to alert criminal groups and some nations of the UGC, given the unfortunate soul in question is a very large criminal syndicate, likely with lots of connections to other organizations that aren't in the UGC's general area.

Fiiine.

I still hate you though.

[Turmenista]

I'm getting real Starship Troopers vibes while writing this post...

[Zjaum]

All right, I'm back. I can post tomorrow.

Nation App

NS Name: Beiarusia
Nation Name: Ten Tribes
Government Type: Aristocratic Democracy
Description of Government:

Public voting is used to determine most everything that concerns the community. When this cannot be done for whatever reason(s) the Descendants or Elders (the aristocracy) will act accordingly as impromptu leaders, afterwards a vote can be held if so needed. There exists no elected government. The Syomir could be considered a true democracy of sorts.

Capital(System, Planet, City): Cistern, Mirra, Skiá

Do note that the Syomir have not unified under a single banner and that Skiá is merely the largest city.

History:

The Syomir are a relatively young civilization whose modern history begins with the establishment of the Ten Tribes almost 800 years before the current date. Before this point the Syomir were divided and often fought amongst themselves for territory and resources, although most conflicts were local or, at worse, regional affairs. The ten largest and most influential tribes ended this period of unrest through peaceful means with the founding of Skiá, a unity that has remained relatively unbroken ever since, and although some tensions remain they rarely escalate into violence. This was the start of a progressive age of cooperation that brought with it social, cultural, and technological change. Villages became cities; hunting lost way to farming; and technological advances have made life better for all. Things have not been without problems. Land is scarce, a problem made all the worse as the population continues to grow at a steady rate. Natural catastrophes have also presented challenges, but in all the future looks bright for the Syomir.

Nation Type: Fragmented
Tech Level: 3
Number of Systems: 1
Population: 23,000,000
Species: Syomir

---

Economic Theory: Socialist
Economic Strength: Minor
Manufacturing Strength: Minor
Agricultural Strength: Minor

---

Military Population: None

The Syomir have no standing army and rely solely on local militia to defend against threats, typically hostile wildlife.

Branches: None
Average Infantry: Militia
Standard weapons:

• Tsuribara - A spearlike weapon that is commonly used as a fishing tool. Shaft is made from a natural blue-green metal alloy (a derivative of copper) and is generally three to four feet long; the blade is 1/4 this length and fashioned from iron, sharp on one side and flat on the other. Suited for stabbing but can slash reasonably well. Longer variants can be thrown.
  
  
• Short Bow - A modestly sized bow that is useful for hunting and not much else.

Common Ground Fighting Vehicles: None
Ship Classes: None
Weapons Type: Primative

---

Type: Blue Main Sequence

A bright and energetic star, young, and more than double the mass of Earth's sun.

Artox

Type: Terrestrial
Size: Tiny
Rotation: 110 days
Orbit: 110 days
Population: 0
Moon(s): 0

The closest planet to the sun, Artox is little more than a scorched rock. Tidally locked. High iron content but otherwise unassuming.

Mirra

Type: Terrestrial
Size: Small
Rotation: 30 hours
Orbit: 325 days
Population: 23,000,000
Moon(s): 1 (Koza)

The Syomir homeworld. Mirra is a small planet, dominated by a massive freshwater ocean with most land existing as volcanic islands. Larger landmasses are primarily swampland and marsh. Tropical with temperate poles. A dense magnetosphere protects the planet from Cistern's high level of solar activity. Atmosphere is primarily a nitrogen/oxygen mixture. Low mass; lower than average gravity. The moon, Koza, is lightly cratered and somewhat blue-grey in colour.

Osira

Type: Terrestrial
Size: Average
Rotation: 24 hours
Orbit: 6 years
Population: 0
Moon(s): 3

A planet that is comparable to Earth in terms of size, Osira has a thick atmosphere of nitrogen and large deposits of Selenium.

Voxa

Type: Gas Giant
Size: Massive
Rotation: 12 hours
Orbit: 29 years
Population: 0
Moon(s): 42

A mostly yellow gas giant with white clouds. Voxa is plentiful with Helium-3 and Hydrogen. It's largest moon has an atmosphere and is potentially habitable.

Haydra

Type: Gas Giant
Size: Large
Rotation: 8 hours
Orbit: 84 years
Population: 0
Moon(s): 26

Somewhat smaller than Voxa, Haydra is a striped planet with clouds of ammonia.

Accepted.

[Zjaum]

So, I just want to confirm before I make a post:

-The banquet has already begun, and we are about a quarter of the way through it, and
-The big intergalactic race has not begun yet?

Also, are there any interactions (save those I previously mentioned) that need attending to?

[Tagali Federation]

No, the race hasn't started yet. I'm going to write for it tomorrow. Everyone will already be there in the opening post.
