Lightning War: Rise Of Nations (OOC, APP ONLY, TG) (REVIVED)

by **Independant Nations and Guilds** » Wed Dec 20, 2017 3:50 am

The original Lightning War thread was created by -The Imperial Federation-, who declared war on the Confederacy of Independant Nations and Guilds. More nations were drawn into this conflict, until a veritable inter-dimensional war would rage.

Unfortunately, -The Imperial Federation- decided to quit without warning, leaving the future of the war in question. The hostilities between nations still burned into the night however, leading to the creation of a new thread.

Those wishing to continue the war, please fill out a new application and state your continued interest. Those new who are wishing to join, please send a telegram to either Independant Nations and Guilds, Caligolus, or The Cult of War before filling out an application. Thank you.

Good.

Since you seek to destroy CING, CING would be an enemy. So I'll just go ahead and add that...

Poof... and by the time you finish reading this, you will have already been added to the accepted list.

Glad to see you are still interested. :3

Time controlling spiders? Those things control time? o.o

No, the telegram was for nations wanting to join that weren't already in.

How's this?

That's fine. I've been trying to keep allies to just specific entities and nations that actual alliances have been forged between, and enemies just to specific entities one is seeking to stop. As for allegiance, that was more for if large alliances between many nations had been formed. The original RP had two of those, but I also noted that they largely weren't all that tight knit, especially the CoSN, where a large number of people joined that, but very few seemed to actually be working together in any capacity. (Then again, there could have been TGs going on behind the scenes that I didn't know about, so this could be taken with a grain of salt.)

As long as we don't start a paradox... time travel's something I myself try to avoid most of the time because I, as a person, have difficulty comprehending it... and "stable time loops" generally feel like poorly written excuses to avoid paradox (not to mention they rather explicitly require "fate", something I really don't believe in). A total of ONE thing I have seen so far has done time travel in a way that made any damn sense, and that's because it explicitly used multiverse theory... and even then it wasn't necessarily easy to follow.

Not saying you can't use them (in fact, I'll go ahead an add them, I just wanted a bit more explanation behind them before I did.)... just... just be careful with that kind of thing. Let's not destroy the space-time continuum, please.

Yup, that's perfect.

Like with Higher Japan, I'll go ahead and add CING as an enemy on there: if you're trying to overthrow the Confederate government and eradicate all their citizens, they're probably someone you are actively trying to stop.

Alright; I'll add CING as an enemy on my application if you want.

Oh, and I think I might involve some of the other galactic powers in the Second Cybertronian Empire's universe if that's alright with you. I believe I typed up a list of the most important ones somewhere; if you want, I'll post it here. I can explain it as they discovered that there was some Decepticon soldiers being sent to another universe, and so they followed them for their own purposes.

Already added you above with the change, I just wanted to let you know I was doing that.

Go ahead and type more up and run the list here. Just know that I'll be scrutinizing the list sent. For the most part you should be good though. As long as you can keep track of everything and it doesn't bring the roleplay to a halt.

Old one if possible, new one if this necessary or if it becomes necessary to restart. I'd prefer not to restart, but if we bleed too many people who posted it may be necessary. From the looks of it it hopefully won't be necessary, but we should all reread the old IC thread to make sure nobody who isn't remaining a part of this has posted anything that seriously affects that much.

Alright, thanks. I think that it might be better to play as them through my main account instead of creating some puppets. The ones I think I'll include will be the Autobot Commonwealth and the Solstar Order, though I'll also mention some other alliances in dialogue and exposition.

As for the document, here it is:

The largest one by far is the Galactic Council: a vast coalition of the thousands of intelligent biological, cybernetic and mechanical species throughout the Milky Way. That, at least, is what they claim, but they do retain prominence through their mighty space navy, and the fact that they ensure that member-states honour treaties and defence pacts, through military force if the need arises. They have extremely frosty relations with the Solstar Order, which has led to wars in the past, and as such, there's quite a lot of anti-GC sentiment there, which is probably a contributing factor to the rise of anti-GC factions arising in the recent centuries. The fact that all Cybertronians, Nebulans, and Humans have been blacklisted from joining it has only increased anti-GC sentiments. They're also quite brutal in keeping planets from leaving, though they're generally mostly democratic.

There's also the Black Block Consortia (known as the Black Box Consortia in the Andromeda Galaxy): a powerful military force that are led by a coalition of CEOs and war generals. They seceded from the Galactic Council, greatly angering the Galactic Council, for they lost a great amount of their net share. As a result, the GC and the BBC have started a turf war, sometimes fighting over territory. The ulterior motives of their leaders vary, though one major goal is the fact that they want all mechanical races to be wiped from the face of the Milky Way.

Though the Solstar Order were located in the nearby Andromeda Galaxy, in recent centuries, they have begun to move into the Milky Way following a skirmish in the Grey Area that led to several Cybertronian dropships containing protoforms (the Cybertronian equivalent of newborns, or perhaps foetuses) being destroyed, and the planet Xeptos being rendered uninhabitable after Cybertronian Space Knight Stardrive's Energon Synthesiser was destroyed by Starscream. While they initially had somewhat xenophobic views for the Cybertronians because of their Great War, they have opened negotiations with the Cybertronian race in the 21st Century and soon became good allies with the Autobots, though not the Decepticons. In recent years, the Galactic Council and the Solstar Order have warred with each other as the intergalactic food chain begins to shift.

Then there's the Autobot Commonwealth: an organisation who, by the 30th Century, have flourished after a long recession following the end of the Great War. Like the Second Cybertronian Empire, they don't exactly have stellar relationships with the Galactic Council, though most of them are far more willing to align with them if needed. As expected, they have extremely dismal relations with the Decepticon-controlled Second Cybertronian Empire, and they've gone through several wars with one another; relations with the Galactic Council are also quite poor, though they haven't yet gone to war with them. Some of the more... unscrupulous Autobot leaders, such as the zealous Star Sabre and the manipulative Prowl have either engineered genocides against the GC, or have manipulated wars for the Commonwealth's benefit.

The Human Confederacy are a new galactic faction whom have arose, especially compared to the likes of the Galactic Council. After humanity reached the Terran Singularity, beating the Cybertronians in their technology for about two centuries before the Cybertronians caught up and escaped the Allowed Zone. Relations with the Confederacy were once positive for the Autobot Commonwealth, though as time went on, all Cybertronians were banned from colonies, and soon all of human space, and eventually, they were forced into the Allowed Zone. This had the result you'd expect it to, resulting in the rise of xenophobic attitudes towards most organics in not only the Decepticons, but even the Autobots. They've warred with the Autobot Commonwealth and the Second Cybertronian Empire many times, to the point where the Galactic Council had them try to sign

The Galactic Federation are another burgeoning galaxy-wide faction that separated from the Galactic Council. Unlike the Galactic Council, they are far more welcoming to mechanical races, but many of their members verge on xenophobic (not helped by the Human Confederacy and the Galactic Council) and their most radical and psychotic mechanical members are full-blown Technoists if not outright Megatronists. The Galactic Federation have tried to condemn them, but many anti-Federation members have used the anti-organic racism as evidence that they're racists. They've managed to maintain an alliance with the Autobot Commonwealth, eventually signing a defence pact with them, though they're wary of the Second Cybertronian Empire because of their genocidal attitude towards organics and even "lesser mechanical races". As expected, they don't have exactly amazing relations with the Galactic Council.

There's also some smaller empires and factions throughout the multiverse, such as the Tiresian Union.
