[blackheart]

[Sheep]

[Toteone]

Our origins can be traced back to two species, the Limanids and the Opuminds, the former inhabited the southern, tropical areas of the continent now called Erasure, the latter inhabiting the cold mountains above the plains. It is thought, that some time about the year -2000 according to the Indilian Calendar, approximated as 2400 T.C., a period of interglaciation ended and the mountains became to cold to support the Opuminds who had to move dwon into the warmer plains, there they found the Limanids and it appears that the two species interbred - to various degrees depending upon location. This means that in different areas, our racial characteristics depends largely upon the degree of Limanid or opumind ancestry.

The Indilians were one of the first people who could truly be called civilised, and they built a massive Empire which encompassed a whole continent, however, after 400 years of Empire, the Dverin people revolted, and, with the Indilian enemies smelling blood, the Empire collapsed from internal and external pressures. This led to a period of unceasing wars over most of the world, but a small colony founded by Indilia on the isolated southern continent grew quickly, and eventually sent a fleet back to their original homelands. There they found people living in conditions which would not have been tolerated even 300 years in the past and they decided that they had to help these people, for truly they were all of one race and so began an era of enlightenment, as the people who called themselves Atha'an built a massive city, the barbaric tribes saw the wonders and quickly were pulled into Atha'an influence, granted full rights of citizenship, they adopted the ways of the Atha'an and today, we enjoy all the wonders that these different cultures created as they merged.

- Excerpts from Atha'an

NB. Three calendars are used by the Atha'an, the Indilian calendar created by scholars in the anceient city of Indilia, this was based upon the time of creation according to Indilian mythology, however, after the Dverin revolt, a new calendar, the Calen Ayende (Measureing of Freedom), was used, and was only comparatively recently discarded in favor of the Tai Calen (True Measure) which measures time according to the cycles of the planets of our system.

We too are descendent from the original creatures of the world, and, as some dveloped their speed, camoflague or eyesight, our ancestors developed their brain power. Nowadays, our wings could not carry us and are simply useless apendages, and the hair which once covered our bodies is now restricted to our spine. The claws our ancestors had have become soft and nimble, whereas our heads have grown larger and our skulls stronger. Were we, like our ancestors to eat meat, if we were not sick from the taste, it would be indigestible by our stomachs, and although we are undoubtedly the superior species on our planet - for with our minds we can accomplish any task - we must remember that we are of our planet and must give back what we take.

Orders:

- Send 5 scouts to each of the five ringed planets to search for intelligent life. If there is intelligent life, make contact using our Diplomacy skills. If uninhabited, then claim then for a VCC next turn.

- 2 credits should go into subsidizing key industries, especially those concerned with luxury products to give our people a better quality of life. (Hopefully this will either make them happier or increase the economy or both )

- 3 credits should go towards upgrading our homeworld to (Ultraindustrialised?)

OOC:
When will next update for this be GN?

Orders were edited 3.1.05

Tegory Wumas
Btw. the Tegory Wumas are large ovale creatures with long slithery fangs and claws that are nevertheless sharper then the most vicious kitchen knife.

- Send 5 scouts to each of the closest planets to search for habitable planets. If there are any good planets then pay for volountary colonization campaign. If there is any very good planet then pay for an organized one and another volountary one on a second planet if there are two habitable planets.

- Spend any potential leftover money on building industry and supporting commercial enterprises into space.

When will next update for this be GN?

I second that question.

 

[Sheep]

Sending in Orders this turn.

To Atha’an Ayende
From the Tau Federation.

Greetings.

We the Tau people of the five castes wish for a greater relationship with our neighbouring brothers of Atha’an Ayende. Therefore in the intrests of the Greater Good, which we are sure you worship as well, we propose the following future Galactic border. This will ensure that the peoples of our two great governments shall live in peace side by side.

[Sheep]

Tau Orders.

Build 20 fighter-Scouts for 1 credit.
Build 30 Artillery Frigates for 2 credits.
Save the other 2 credits.

Have 1 of the orignal scouts with 4 fighter scouts and 4 atillery frigates to form a Exploration Fleet each. The other 10 Artillery frigates are to stay in orbit of the homeoworld and be on alert status. Any attack on the Exploration fleets and the Artillery Frigate Fleet will go to help out their comrades.

Send them to the five planets with green arrows. One each. Each of them is to make planetfall. It is expected that one of these planets may be innhabitated by intellgient life already. Make contact with them show them our strength and offer them equal status in the Federation.

I Have Returned

YAYY! Seems I returned in time for an update, sort of... No NPC civs placed? Strange.

Awww, crap. Sorry Erik. ;_; I'll try to keep a spot open for you.

Huh? "A spot"?

<writes a long background into template, phew, that was time-consuming.>
Civilization Name: The Arkatus
Name [Player]: Overmind Kreatel [Erik Mesoy]
Trait: Merchantile
Government: Federation
Credits: 5
Background: The Arkatus are a race of genderless, genetically unstable "stickmen", appearing almost as skeletons compared to some of the other creatures inhabiting their home planet. They have lived an unstable life - being a race prone to certain directions of mutation, which has forced the development of an economy where any and all things that may induce the cure of a detrimental mutation, or preserve a beneficial one.
The Arkatus are ruled by an "Overmind" who holds the title of The Kreatel. This position is fluid and may shift once a week or stay for several years. When a normal Arkatus assumes the mantle of the Kreatel, it becomes motionless, appears self-sustained, and is almost a terrain feature - except that it provides the mental control that keeps Arkatan society from degenerating into anarchy. This happened eight hundred years ago, when a freak meteor strike killed the new Kreatel, and the result was that small "sub-Overminds" formed all across the planet, and it took fifty years before they were reunited.

Starting Location: <UNKNOWN>
