Can I get an opinion on this, I need to know what to add, and what to omit.




The original Siesatians were human; they were not proficiently advanced in anything, except the science of genetics. The president then decided to use that technology to recreate an intelligent creature that had died out long ago, and use them as slave labor. They acquired the necessary DNA from fossils and succeeded in reestablishing an extinct creature. However, they realized that the Utah raptor was too fierce and unintelligent to use as slave labor, and destroyed them.
However, a rouge group of scientists decided to try again, this time, tweaking the genes that controlled brain growth. This time they created creatures smarter than they were which presented an even greater problem. The lab scientists realized that they responded to speech, and could learn extremely advanced tasks very quickly, but they were too smart, and escaped to the nearby jungle. All 1000 of them made it.
Over the next 100 years they built a society, one that rivaled the Siesatians in technological prowess and intelligence, until war broke out, the Human Siesatians were destroyed, and the entire population of raptors took over the land, taking the name of their creators. However, nations saw the great threat of these new creatures, and drove them from the earth, and to the moon, where we have stayed.
No, Utah Raptors do not eat only meat; the creating scientists quickly discovered that they were omnivores by nature. Humans had a tendency to be scared of us, so we developed holographic systems to aid in diplomacy. A tendency towards being vain, they would have chosen what they believed to be a ‘good appearance’ for their holographic projection. They're ancestors existed in a time where physical prowess was the key to victory, and humans exist in a time where that doesn’t matter, raptors know that they are superior physically, but find humans to have a great deal of perseverance and patience.

The First war, was not really a war, but a slaughter, humans were killed to a point where they could no longer bring themselves to fight. Those who gave up were captured, and later, incorporated into the society. However, 10 years after the war ended, the populous of earth began to cower at the thought of such a powerful nation, however small, existing on earth, and drove them off, it was believed by the countries of earth, that they had died out. The raptors have yet to forgive themselves for this slaughter, even many, many years afterwards.
Making their home on the dark side of the moon, they built up a powerful civilization, and moved into the light once again. Earth had advanced much, and more tolerant nations had come into power. Siesatian Fighters soon became common sight in space, as did carriers. The Paradox at the time was the only carrier design.
This brought Siesatia to open diplomatic relations to the universe, and opened her up to the violation of rights many countries were committing, including a small, theocracy named Cherry Ridge.
Cherry Ridge was sufficiently less advanced than Siesatia, and ran off of ‘It is better to be feared than loved’ they killed all those who were not of their religion, and killed all those who didn’t believe in what they believed. So, Siesatia, along with their allies Democratic Colonies, succeeded in the takeover of Cherry Ridge, unfortunately, the former president, did not claim the land, but put Cardinal DeVito back into power, and was later stabbed in the back by the dictator.
Siesatia later joined ISEC, where she later became the Defense Chairman, and contributed greatly to it.
Siesatia also joined the UFP. And soon after discovered a planet, in a virtually uninhabited solar system, named the Gaia System, where the race of the Burmecians was added to Siesatia.
However, this was a time of great political change, and President Nicholas Crescent came to power, when Former President Drake Rille retired. He saw what the former president refused to see, the corruption of the UFP, and quit. Siesatia was later accepted into ESUS. Siesatia had grown much since her early years, and will continue for some time later.




Burmecians- Burmans are a rat like people who lived on the Mist Continent. They were there before the humans emigrated from the Forgotten Continent. They took to living in the westernmost corner of the continent, an area where rain was never-ending. During the next 400 years, they advanced much, and left their period of isolationism.
During the famed ‘Mist Wars’, the Burmans were almost wiped out by the fanatical forces of Queen Brahne, the queen of Alexandria. This act of genocide caused the mechanically inclined nation of Lindblum to attack Alexandria, and drew everybody into a massive, deadly, war. The war officially ended on the date of Queen Brahne’s death. Both Cities of Cleyra and Burmecia were destroyed. Cleyra was hit worst, with a 95% death rate, and complete obliteration of its buildings.
The population had declined from about 100 million, to about 4 million. Facing extinction, they entered another period of Isolationism, although this was frowned upon by Freya, the hero of the Burmecian Kingdom, until her death 35 years later.
Almost 200 years later, a great plague swept across the Mist Continent, and infected all the cities. Burmecia, because of its long period of Isolationism, was not hit very hard. However, Alexandria, and Lindblum’s had a catastrophically high death rate, less than 2 million humans survived. The Burmans pulled through, and cured the remaining population. However, 2 million humans was not a great genetic base, and the remaining population died off.
Many years later, a Siesatian scout craft was out exploring the area, its name just so happened to be the ‘Gaia’. They made it just in time to see the Burmans decelerate from FTL travel, and instantly sent out communiqués. Siesatia was in the process of looking for a new planet for their ever expanding population to relocate too, and the sparsely populated Gaia, was perfect. The first Colony ships set down less than a year later, and the Burmecian King signed over the entire empire, the United States of Siesatia began educating the local population, and building up cities. All the cities that had existed pre Mist War, were rebuilt.
Burmans are an incredibly agile race, and prefer to be lightly armored and have their speed, than heavily armored and encumbered. They posses an advanced ability to jump, some up to a mile high, and many use this advantage in battle to their fullest extent. Polite and reserved, they are normally a fountain of good advice, and will not hesitate to take charge of any situation.
