StarNES Part I: Rise of Galactic Empires

[das]

YAY! NK started with the otter-moles (I do hope that they're bigger then their prototypes)!

Social life is prized for the most part

For some reason, social life in my mind is associated with grand Victorian balls. If you can imagine otter-moles in dancing Victorian suits and dresses, let me know.

Story:

Arus sat down on the elaborately-designed golden chair and closed his eyes. His mind quickly drifted from the physical world, and entered the Collective Mind.

He no longer was as overtaken by emotions and thoughts - emotions and thoughts of OTHER people - as he was in the first time.

He isolated himself, crudely, from all others, and begun searching for somebody very similar. He looked at somewhat-erased, relatively old traces of thoughts... and minds of people now dead. He read about how to do it, and he did. He noticed a dead mind very, very similar to his own.

He concentrated on it. He was denied the truth about his parents for too long. While families were not as valued by blue-skins as they were by purple-skins, being denied that was frustrating.

The young Alean accessed his father's mind...

To be continued at a later date...

LOL, no, that generally is NOT what happens. Espeically since my species as a rule does not wear clothing.

well, thiers your problem #1- germany during that period was little more then a giant whore house- or at least thats how all the german artists of the time portrayed germany in that era

Yes, Germany during the wiemar republic was deeply corrupted, but the Fredrick Wilhelm is something of a reincarnated Bismark, he knows something must be done to prevent the corruption from spreading in too far, and Space provides limitless possiblities to focus the world on something other than grand parties and jubilees.

North America now is riddled with crime, corrupt southern officials HATE the berlin rule, eversince the US market crashed coupled with the EU's market ascendenscy, and thus the weak willed president of the time accepted unification. Southern governors and officials had other things in mind, however, and have found the business of drug trafficing profitable. Recently these have been shut down though, with the burning of all the cocaine and herion crops.

Now these officials want to directly take the lead of government, and have taken over the Konservative Partei of The United Federation, a party which abhors space funding and basically anything which the Chancellor approves of.

Update later tomorrow or Monday, das. As according to my time, of course. Today's far too hectic and tomorrow may be, as well.

 

[Insane_Panda]

Story soon. (ten)

 

[Toteone]

Global Nexux, could you make me my militaristic empire? =<_>=
Thanks anyway.

 

[Insane_Panda]

god damnit. I accidentally deleted my whole story, forgetting to save it when I turned off my computer.

Tommorrow, GN, tomorrow I promise a story.

Rrright. Nudist otter-mole Victorian balls. This is getting better and better...

Great Emperor Vortis opened his eyes and he studied the four hand-picked crews. He knew for some time now of the sudden telepathic sygnal that revealed the key to Faster Then Light travel to the scientists (OOC: this is the reason because of which FTL drive was discovered across the galaxy in the same time). It was strange, and some calimed it was mere inspiration, but Vortis was pretty confident it was another race of sentient beings... but why share their advancement? Were they very sentimental, as purple-skins, or altruistic, as the purple-skin "Spirit-Heroes", or was there a reason? Was it some part of a far-fetched plan?

That was yet to be known. For some time now, Vortis knew that there were other races out there. He felt their minds, though they were far-away and distant - both physically and psychologically, preventing even a slightest probe to establish their location. He realized that it was a new era beginning. With the FTL drive, the Dominion will expand across the galaxy, trade with the other races, and ensure that the Dominion was strong and that the biological survival was assured. The main threat to it, as seen ever since the first indications of sentient life in space, was an attack from the space before there was anywhere to flee and anywhere to hide, while the Alean Dominion still lay vulnerable to an attack from space.

It was time to find out the truth, and establish buffer zones, and find allies and learn of what is out there.

It was a new era. Era of Faster-Then-Light Travel.

[foolish icarus]

Civilization Name: Vurilur
Name [Player]: foolish
Trait: diplomatic
Government: republic
Credits: 5
Background: The Vurilur are a culturally and idealogically diverse race. They are naturally excitable, individualistic, and value a balance of voluntary community and personal independence. Their curiosity and history of factionalism gives them the natural and cultural tools necessary to understand and communicate alien concepts and facilitate both progressive interspecies progress and hatch devious schemes.
Starting Location: upper right corner at the edge of the dense/sparse star line

 

[Contempt]

Name: Illidi Empire
Ruler [Player]: []
Color: Orange
Capital System: Puir
Fleet: 5 Fighter-Scouts [Basic Railgun/No Defenses]
Happiness: Average
Racial Identity: High
National Identity: High
Loyalty: Above-average
Efficiency: Average
Currently Researching [Credits Spent]:
Dominant Race: Illidi
Secondary Races: Ulrini
Trait: Militaristic
Government: Empire
Economy: Stabilized
Credits: 5
Basic Resources: 5
Special Resources: N/A
Background: The planet that the Illid race evolved on was home to another race, the Ulrin. The Illid, standing 6 meters in height on average, are intimidating and carnivorous whilst the Ulrin were shorter and herbivorous. Amazingly, the two managed to share the planet for several millennia in civilized form before coming into contact. This contact led unfortunately to a two hundred year long war that ended in the enslavement of the Ulrini race and the domination of the reptilian Illidi over their planet. Since then, they have developed to a point that they intend to expand beyond and become a mighty interstellar empire. Recently, Ulrin – treated like slaves for centuries – have been given limited rights due to their potential usefulness in the new galactic environment.

I'll take these guys.

 

[Toteone]

Ok, updated my race (so now it includes more relevent info. I put very high racial identity because it's only one race + some ancients. I'll write about racial characterics later)

Fighter-scouts are a default design, may I modify it for my own basic design?

 

[Global Nexus]

Certainly, so long as they remain "scouts with exploratory equipment traded for added weaponry". Errr, don't edit the default stats, please. oo

Intro Update coming soon today! ^^

Contempt: Leader name? ^^

 

[Insane_Panda]

Yay! Update!

Ok, I'm doing a story right now.

"Fly me to the moon, let me play among the stars. Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars." - Frank Sinatra

Ein Planet, Ein Volk, Ein Mission!​

On December 27th, 2300 AD or SD 001, in the Riechstag, the parliamentry body of the UEF, the Bundesrat, announced its policy for the stars, the Vereinigung-Raum-Flotte, or VRF, the Federation Space Fleet. Chancellor Fredrick Wilhelm, lead of the Riechstag and the UEF, proclaimed a 'space mandate' in his historical speech:

"Today will be remembered as a great day in history. For years we have froliced among the inner reaches of our solar system, playfully. Accomplishing little in the big scheme of things. Too long have we been distracted by events on earth, and too long have we been limited by rocket and fusion flight to fly anywhere far. But now, thanks to the discovery of faster than light travel by our brilliant scientists and physicists, the exploration and eventual colonization of the stars is possible! Nevermore will we be restricted by the resources of one planet, instead we will have at our fingertips the vast resources of millions of planets! Already we are mapping the stars, searching for viable planets to settle, so that we can pass on whole worlds to our next generation, not just a sad, depleted planet.

Today with great honor I proclaim the formation of the Vereinigung-Raum-Flotte, the great fleet in which we will spread out destiny, our manifest destiny. Already the factories in orbit have produced 5 vessels, but this is not enough, no, it is only the beginning. Together, I ask you, citizens of Earth, together we shall make a fleet larger than ever concieved. A fleet spanning thousands of ships, crossing thousands of light years, spreading the glory of humanity across the stars! Never before in history has something as large or spectacular as this been undertaken. Now, let us write the books and colonize the farthest reaches of the universe, so that atop every planet, will fly our great flag."​

This message was transmitted accross the planet, and even transmitted accross the stars, through FTL radio technology, onto any unwitting race out there so that they would know - The Terrans are coming.
