StarNES Part I: Rise of Galactic Empires

[Xen]

perhaps- "the Roman Mafia" has an interesting ring to it

 

[Toteone]

because they don't feel real -most of the time 'least
I know what you mean - I think

 

[Insane_Panda]

Perhaps an Italian mafia is in order to harass my shipping industries?

Or Xen, Perhaps you could be a colonial governor if you want, mostly free from the trappings of the Earth Government. An Autonomous state perhaps?

 

[Xen]

nope dont worry, if I can find a way to fit in nicelly, I will

the Italian Mafia is more or less dead- religated to lasting glory in assorted games involving vehiculer theft, and assorted telivision shows- in other words, while the italian mafia still has a rather large hand in many underhanded acticites, thier beginning to cash off on thier name, as thier running outof illigel options

the main mafia nowadays is the red, or Russian Mafia- they can even kicks the triads asses- though once the world is unfied, both of them will be dead, because they wonthave any international loop holes to run through

 

[North King]

GN, which would you like better in your NES, a race of otters/moles, or human colonists from a long abandoned and hushed up project that crash land in another solar system?

All mafias have their own turfs. You don't see Russian Mafia invading Chinese markets do you?

 

[alex994]

always wanted such a nes.... i always wanted to write a story about insects.... *wanders off in thought*

well, yes actually; IIRC, the ruskies have limited triad "growth" in the US significantlly, and in arms dealing, they (the reds) have effectivlly pushed everyone else out entirelly.

When you talk about arms dealing, are you talking about the Russian gov or what?

Either one is fine. The latter is practical, knowing our species, and it would be interesting seeing the reunion with Earth. The former would be interesting to see grow, and see how such kinds of beings could become intelligent.

 

[Global Nexus]

I'm sure the aliens say similar things.

 

[Insane_Panda]

Ah, Xen, the italian mafia may be dead in OUR time, but my Fredrican earth is a society of decadenc (the fact that there are no real conflicts anymore, have brought this decadence into fruition), a rehash of the jazz and late victorian era.

There are still certain less than perfect government officials, namely those from the now defunct United States.

This is a world where crime had and still can prosper, unless Berlin does something about it....

Eh, the only problem with the otter-moles is that it's hard to get into character since they have a (naturally) copletely different worldview than us...

But I'm going to write and see if the bacground sounds good.

[North King]

Civilization Name: Dwarji Union
Name [Player]: Eliji Sorn (North King)
Trait: Industrious
Government: Republic
Credits: 5
Background: The People, as they call themselves, are composed of two main ethnic bodies with distinct differences, but the basic body type is the same; a sleek, streamlined furry creature resembling that of a mole or an otter. They find themselves at home in either a tunnel system or in the water, and as such they took a long time to discover plant domestication, but they quickly discovered metalworking after that. Social life is prized for the most part, and most of their wars (and they had quite a few in their long, disunited history) involved quick, highly coordinated strikes meant to bring the enemy to their knees. Despite this militaristic side, they are much more docile in real life than this description might let on, and typically prefer a communal festival to a bloody war. Note that more will be added through stories and such, this is the very basic overview.
Starting Location: Anywhere you please, preferably in a group of stars that are close to one another but far away from other star groups. Blue color is definately preferred.



Yah, like I said, that's a VERY basic overview, these guys have a lot more background then that.

 

[Xen]

Civilization Name: Terran Republic of New Rome
Name [Player]: Consul Atticus Regulus/Xen
Trait:Militaristic
Government:Republic
Credits: 5
Background: One of the first waves of attempted Terran colonization, htese, along with many other (primarilly failed) colonies that dot the region of space relitivlly close to earth was founded by a group of people who took fate into the own hands, and launched thier own colonization expidition; finding a verdent and frutiful plantet, and setteling on it, the group of people soon looked to create a paradise of classical nature upon thier new Homeworld; however, whithin half a century, a resident aliane race came into contact with the "New Romans", and a full scale war thus ensued- the colonists, being constantlly resupplued, if quitelly by populations in North America and europe, both chaffeing under the Untied Earth rule out of Berlin, wantign to start a new life, or just lovers of the classical ideal beign created upon th eplanet, son came in droves, while the earth-government attempted to hush the situation up.

It was as such, that the alien race, the "Aelik-bajir", a raceof reptilliods, was soon wiped out fpr the most part, though what populations do remain are extreamlly isolatated, similer to amazonian tribes of the 20th, and 21st centuries on earth, thus relations are amacable, and populations low, but self sustianing-but the effec to mobilizing the population was extrem, and now the New Roman republic stands ready, as the planet has been industrilized, urbanzied, santized and populized, to expand into thier neighboring star systems in thier own right.
Starting Location: anwhere on th emap, but the star system shall be Alpha Centauri (the planet Centauri Prime)
