Eshirian Sovereignty

(Current sensor grid report: )

-General location is near the galactic core

-9,000+ systems now controlled by the Sovereignty, current sensor readings indicate nearly half of them contain habitable worlds, although many will require extensive terraforming.

-Unexplored Territory towards the south and far eastern sectors.

-Outer regions on the galactic rim are relatively lightly defended.

-Various Worm Holes serve as only connection with Huntarian Territory. More are sure to be discovered.

-Contrary to previous reports, Huntaer and I share a border. ES space is East of Huntaerian controlled territory.

-Neutral zone between our space is 10 Lightyears across.

-Expeditions being organized to establish a greater presence in the area.

-More to be added when ever our respective governments agree to it. (Or whenever I think of it...)

The vast databanks of the Discovery were collated, and several facts were discerned from the existing observations and fresh data from research vessels.

Name (Official): Tethys
Name (Native): Mr'Hao Ceph'ka
Location: 273:382:193
Description: Large system with white star. Located approx. 2000 Light years from Galactic Core. Near unexplored regions. Ringed by four seperate asteroid belts.

Planets:
Icarus - Tiny planet, not unlike Mercury, that actually skims the sun approximately once every three years.

Daedalus - Slightly larger planet that also orbits near the sun, though it is blasted regularly with radiation.

Tethys Belt 01 - High concentrations of heavy metals, potential mining opportunity.

Yr'Ano - Hydrogen Gas Giant. Subject to high-intensity winds.

Mu'Chao - Nitrogen Planet, appears to have the beginnings of life. Reasonably mild.

Hr'Wao - Inhabited by the Phr-Chun, a squat quadrapedal race. Observed to utilise plant material.
Leonardo - The sole moon of Hr'Wao, and occupied by the Hakurabi Colonists.

Tethys Belt 02 - Thick clumps of rock, High in radioactives.

Shiva - Huge radioactive displays, strangely concentrated in a certain point. High radioactives concentration throughout, however.

Posideon - Large Nitrogen Gas-Giant, Strong Bio-readings. Possible signs of life.

Num'Pho - Inexplicably spotted by the Phr-Chun, Large Gas-Giant rich in iron oxides.

Tethys Belt 03 - The Third in a series of four belts in the Tethys System. Mostly common elements.

Darwin - A strange inert planet with an atmosphere of Argon and large quantities of normally highly volatile elements.

Ifrit - A small, red planet with a thick crust of Iron Oxide. Electromagnetic interference prevents further scanning.

Clarke - A near-absolute-zero 'water world' with vast oceans of liquid helium.

Rama - A Huge, but hollow planet of little value, but great speculation. Gases at high temperatures detected within. Nicknamed 'Politics' by colonists.

Tethys Belt 04 - A thin asteroid belt with considerable quantities of ice, gas, and rock. It is located on the outer extremes of the system, just outside the orbit of Rama.

(OOC: It's obvious Rama is going to turn out to be an alien artifact, so don't complain about the fact that this would be impossible naturally.)

So far, I don't have a problem with anyone's positons... except one person, EWT.

I don't mind that you colonise near the unknown regons, but watch out. There is a ancient and mysterious aliens known as the Phantoms. I plan to post up a thread containing our second war with the Phantoms tonight. They may want to attack everyone... Speak to either me or Kyanges for more detail about the phantoms.

I shall be setting up sensors along the borders, and access is denied to all.

(OOC: I've got a little bit on these "Phantom" baddies in my fact book that's still very much in the early stages of its development. Part of the mysteriousness is because there's quite a bit of stuff on them that Huntaer and I still have to work out. Like how they can be ancient and all powerful, yet stupid enough for us relatively new space fairers to out smart them.

Just because I'd like some feed back on how its going before I post the final thing up, here's what my fact book is so far:

This is a straight cut and paste, so there's none of the formatting, like bold font where nessasary, and the like yet. The final should be far more polished:

Worlds of Interest: (Under Development)
Of the many worlds of the Sovereignty, there are some that manage to make a distinct impact unlike any other. From the Home Worlds, to the “Vegas” of space, there is a planet for nearly every quality under the Universe’s ambient radioactive glow.

-Sapherion Prime, Sapherion Major, and Sapherion Minor: serve as the three main home worlds of the Sovereignty. Typically Sapherion is shortened to “Saph”, as saying “Sapherion” all the time is a mouthful, Saph Prime is the primary seat of government, and the original system colonized by the refugees of Sac’tec.

-Sac’tec: the original home world of the Kyang people. Rediscovered in the late 7000’s of the Eshirian Calender. Now serves as a museum planet, and a major archeological site for research into the earliest days of Kyang Civilization.

-Maru: a small planet in the Syran System seat of economic power for the Sovereignty. Although, it typically serves the role of pleasure planet, the name has become synonymous with entertainment, or a good time. On occasion, one will say that they’ve been “marued.” , or, “pleasured…” Not exactly the most decent of phrases…

-Tar’en: A major center of military development, and located in the outer most fringes of the galaxy’s edge. The edge of the galaxy serves as the perfect test site for any weapon, and the Tar’en system it self is barren and expansive. Location of the highly secretive Latebra Scientia Advanced Research and Development Department, this world has been home to some of the most amazing technologies in the galaxy and continues to be the site of feverish development.


General Information:
As it stands today, the Eshirian Sovereignty is at the height of its development. Founded in the equivalent of roughly 7,000 BC through the union of nations from a shattered world, the Sovereignty has endured countless wars throughout its history, with the Sovereignty itself, forged in war. Its people are highly educated and from birth, are instilled with a strong will, sense of morals, and desire to serve for the greater good of the people. Through simple genetic manipulation, and advanced medical technology, the average citizen has an average expected lifespan upwards of 3,000 years. Also through these technologies, each citizen of the ES also has limited psionic ability along with unparalleled physical and mental fitness which brings an added level of sophistication, work ethic, and discipline to the culture of the Sovereignty that is truly unique.
Much of the credit for establishing many of the seemingly utopian aspects of the ES, such as zero crime, a desire for peace, advanced technology, an incorrupt leadership, and a love of knowledge and enlightenment can be given to the first Emperor in the Imperial Age.
While the ES truly is in a golden age, internal rumblings in the Parliament point towards rough times ahead…

History:

Creation: The beginning of the “Ascendant Race”
Nearly 4 million years ago, the primitive people evolved on a planet now known as Sac’tec. Believing that they were a race descended from the stars and were destined the return to them in a glorious ascent; they named them-selves the “Kiant”, or Ascendants. The Kiant quickly advanced from nomadic tribes into a stable agrarian society which would persist for hundreds of years. From the start, it was apparent that they had horribly violent tendencies, yet had a keen interest in their surroundings, nature, and a great puzzlement about why they couldn’t adequately explain their own environment. It is believed that it was this interest that planted the first seeds of Kiant science, and certain major religions that survive up till this day. Their violent nature however, would be the overriding aspect of their nature for hundreds of years, and would seriously hamper Kiant development. Until the Great Awakening, the height of Kiant civilization would remain at a primitive feudal level. This strange mix of violence, interest in technology and science, and extreme belief in religion would result in much bloodshed, but would serve as the Kiant’s greatest strength in the later years.
Nearly 1,000 years into development, the many tribes of the Kiant were already embroiled in war. Although the fighting involved only the most primitive of weapons ranging from rocks, spears, arrows and clubs, the sheer ferocity, they were fought in meant for a huge loss of life. The largest tribe, known as the “Undai” or the Vengeful, held a dominant position over the other tribes for the majority of these early years, and would later develop into the powerful Hun’yen Empire of the Imperial Age.

please do not post yet. It’s not ready! XD (This will be repeated intermittently throughout this fact book.)

History of War: The Imperial Age
About 3,000 years into Kiant development, 8 major feudal empires had grown out of the tribes along with 20 minor kingdoms. These empires, which were located in the Eastern Hemisphere of Sac’tec, were essentially the only civilizations that existed on the planet. Had any alien race decided to invade the planet, their job would have been quite easy, since all the major population centers were only clustered in two continents. But for the now, the aliens wouldn’t come until much later… As the wars continued, the Hun’yen Empire (named after is ruler) of the northeast quickly established it self as the dominant kingdom. Idealistic, and unyielding, Hun’yen’s primary drive was to unite all kingdoms under his rule, to form history’s first Dynasty. After 27 years of unrelenting violence, and endless bloodshed, he had succeeded. The Hun’yen, Empire became the Hun’yen Dynasty, and Hun’yen himself, a self proclaimed deity.
Those who consider Hun’yen to have been a fanatical leader with a lust for power, and a slightly unstable mind are partially correct; however, his intentions were not entirely malignant. As a man tightly bound to his own ideals, and a belief that the Kiant people were truly destined to serve a meaningful purpose, Hun’yen had, like many other leaders of the time, found the overriding violence in each person to be the most severe difficulty to overcome if the Kiant people were to develop out of the feudal eras, and into their self prophesized return to the heavens.

please do not post yet. It’s not ready! XD (This will be repeated intermittently throughout this fact book.)

The Great Awakening: The Rise of Rationality, Science, and the End to 3,000 Years of War.
As Hun’yen would have it, there was no way to overcome the violent and passionate nature of the Kiants without taking drastic measures. Among these, was the path to logic, or overt and wide scale brain washing. Which path was taken is not clear, as he seemed to have merged the two, into one major ideal that would later form the basis for the “Yen Ran”, roughly translated into the Yen Ideals, or more correctly, the Yen Faith. The main aspects of the Yen Faith were quite obviously, complete, and unyielding loyalty and devotion to the state, its people, and of course, Hun’yen himself. However, the Yen Faith also espoused such ideals as gender equality, respect of life, and even the love of peace. The people of the lands he had conquered, who still clung to their old leaders, and the old ways, obviously did not take well to such an obvious attempt to steal their free will, culture and in a sense, their very souls. There were mass rebellions, however, they would not last, as this was the time of rational, and logical thinking. Rather than rely solely on brute force and martial law to put down the rebellions, Hun’yen devised intelligent ways to slowly eliminate resistance. In addition to the early use of force to hold of the insurgent attacks, large inquisitions were implemented to weed out the dissidents. This, coupled with largely publicized “Education Initiatives”, which were quite obviously propaganda programs aimed at children, and cleverly performed publicity campaign, Hun’yen was able to portray himself as not only a stable and effective ruler who had brought peace to the land, but also a demigod, who would lead the Kiant people to the heavens as they had long dreamed to do. Through the long run brain washing programs, the Hun’yen Government had also slowly subdued the Kiant’s deep violent tendencies, and established a stable rule where the equally deep-rooted love of science was able to flourish.
By the time, Hun’yen finally died he had lived an unnaturally long 300 years, and his government, however oppressive, had finally overcome the greatest hurdle that Kiant civilization had faced up till that time, its own people. For the next few thousand years, an industrial revolution came and went, and Kiant Civilization developed at a dizzying rate.
The Yen Faith slowly became the very fabric of Kiant culture, integrating itself so deeply, that it ceased to be a religion, and simply became the Kiant way of life. For better or worse, Hun’yen had secured a spot in history for himself as one of the greatest leaders to have ever lived. Although, remaining pockets of fanatical resistance had somehow stole his body and through ways that should even be told, convinced even die hard believers in the Yen Faith, that he at least was not a god.

The Black Death: When what came from space, was far deadlier than any mere virus…
Roughly 10,000 years into the Kiant Development, the language of the Kiant had been refined and slightly altered. “Kiant” was now pronounced “Kyang”. The fourth generations of FTL vehicles were just coming online and a relatively new space republic known as Sovereign Interstellar had replaced the Hun’yen Nation, which had stood for nearly 6,000 years. Sovereign Interstellar controlled a fledgling interstellar empire, and was well on it’s way to becoming a galactic power, when the first reports from deep space outpost came flooding in about some mysterious force that was ripping its way through the best of the SI defenses. Thus began the 1,000-year struggle against this force. Few records survive of this enemy, although it is known that they were called the “Phantoms”, due to the fact no one was ever able to see one and live to tell about it. They were also dubbed the “Phantoms” for their dark and mysterious nature, and their uncanny and unnerving ability to strike quickly and effectively out of the shadows. It is also known that they far out stripped SI in technology, and military power. The battle was a losing one, and soon, the people of the Sac’tec would need to flee to find a new home world, one hopefully safely hidden from these “Phantoms”. At the end of the last great battle, many of the Kyang people had already fled in massive colony vessels to seek out a new home. Sovereign Interstellar would be remembered as the last great civilization on Sac’tec.
Unbeknownst to those who had fled, Sovereign Interstellar scientists had found ways to penetrate the cloak that the “Phantoms” used. Deprived of their greatest strength, the”Phantoms” found it increasingly more difficult to defeat the SI forces, though they still had innumerable forces in reserve, ready to serve at a moments notice. In the final days of the war, the two factions were locked in a bloody stalemate, with SI forces holding the enemy off with superior technology, and the “Phantom” forces slamming the SI with endless numbers. It is not known exactly what prompted the “Phantom” withdrawal, however, it is known that just when it seemed that the SI would emerge victorious, the “Phantoms” employed one final, insidious device that proved to be the finishing blow in the war. The remaining Home Guard and straggling civilians quickly fled, while the front line forces covering their retreat were left to suffer their fate at the cruel hands of the “Phantoms”. Had those who fled first instead stayed to fight, they SI might have been able to press the brief advantage they gained when they first neutralized the “Phantom” cloaking technology.

Exodus: A new hope, and a new home.
10,001 years into Kyang development, the small fleet of ships that had escaped their ravaged home world of Sac’tec and its colonies were still searching for a new home. Escaping through a series of dangerous jumps that… (Finishing up still.)

Give me an area that's good.

Honestly without a map, I can't tell 'where' to put my nation properly. And if you need to replace EWT, just put it near mine since were both allies and were still helping them understand life in space.

And yes, we need a 'map'... =^^=

I second this. My original reasoning behind my requested location was that because I wouldn't have the means to explore my sector for a while, I should be located on the unexplored fringes, but it would also make sense for me to be near GA.

My thinking is because cardinal points on a galactic map don't work for my mind, plus a galaxy is three dimensional in nature in the case of mapping. I.e. Spinward vs. Anti-spinward, Coreward vs. Rimward, and Zenith Axis vrses Nadir Axis. (or top and bottom of a Galaxy respectively.)

North and south doesn't sound right to me.

Oh and EWT, I created an alliance with three resident races (internal rp nations) so you can work off of that as you explore.

I think what you need to do is get a top down picture of a galaxy and just mark which areas are taken. Then we would easily be able to pick where we go.

Something similar to this (but bigger) would be best:

Or this would be great if it was split into quadrants:
http://www.bay13.de/pics/desktop/morepictures/JLM_HST-Galaxy.jpg

Just take that and start marking off which sections are controlled by each nation as they claim them.

Much of the credit for establishing many of the seemingly utopian aspects of the ES, such as zero crime, a desire for peace, advanced technology, an incorrupt leadership, and a love of knowledge and enlightenment can be given to the first Emperor in the Imperial Age.
While the ES truly is in a golden age, internal rumblings in the Parliament point towards rough times ahead…

History:

Creation: The beginning of the “Ascendant Race”
Nearly 4 million years ago, the primitive people evolved on a planet now known as Sac’tec. Believing that they were a race descended from the stars and were destined the return to them in a glorious ascent; they named them-selves the “Kiant”, or Ascendants. The Kiant quickly advanced from nomadic tribes into a stable agrarian society which would persist for hundreds of years. From the start, it was apparent that they had horribly violent tendencies, yet had a keen interest in their surroundings, nature, and a great puzzlement about why they couldn’t adequately explain their own environment. It is believed that it was this interest that planted the first seeds of Kiant science, and certain major religions that survive up till this day. Their violent nature however, would be the overriding aspect of their nature for hundreds of years, and would seriously hamper Kiant development. Until the Great Awakening, the height of Kiant civilization would remain at a primitive feudal level. This strange mix of violence, interest in technology and science, and extreme belief in religion would result in much bloodshed, but would serve as the Kiant’s greatest strength in the later years.
Nearly 1,000 years into development, the many tribes of the Kiant were already embroiled in war. Although the fighting involved only the most primitive of weapons ranging from rocks, spears, arrows and clubs, the sheer ferocity, they were fought in meant for a huge loss of life. The largest tribe, known as the “Undai” or the Vengeful, held a dominant position over the other tribes for the majority of these early years, and would later develop into the powerful Hun’yen Empire of the Imperial Age.

History of War: The Imperial Age
About 3,000 years into Kiant development, 8 major feudal empires had grown out of the tribes along with 20 minor kingdoms. These empires, which were located in the Eastern Hemisphere of Sac’tec, were essentially the only civilizations that existed on the planet. Had any alien race decided to invade the planet, their job would have been quite easy, since all the major population centers were only clustered in two continents. But for the now, the aliens wouldn’t come until much later… As the wars continued, the Hun’yen Empire (named after is ruler) of the northeast quickly established it self as the dominant kingdom. Idealistic, and unyielding, Hun’yen’s primary drive was to unite all kingdoms under his rule, to form history’s first Dynasty. After 27 years of unrelenting violence, and endless bloodshed, he had succeeded. The Hun’yen, Empire became the Hun’yen Dynasty, and Hun’yen himself, a self proclaimed deity.
Those who consider Hun’yen to have been a fanatical leader with a lust for power, and a slightly unstable mind are partially correct; however, his intentions were not entirely malignant. As a man tightly bound to his own ideals, and a belief that the Kiant people were truly destined to serve a meaningful purpose, Hun’yen had, like many other leaders of the time, found the overriding violence in each person to be the most severe difficulty to overcome if the Kiant people were to develop out of the feudal eras, and into their self prophesized return to the heavens.

The Great Awakening: The Rise of Rationality, Science, and the End to 3,000 Years of War.
As Hun’yen would have it, there was no way to overcome the violent and passionate nature of the Kiants without taking drastic measures. Among these, was the path to logic, or overt and wide scale brain washing. Which path was taken is not clear, as he seemed to have merged the two, into one major ideal that would later form the basis for the “Yen Ran”, roughly translated into the Yen Ideals, or more correctly, the Yen Faith. The main aspects of the Yen Faith were quite obviously, complete, and unyielding loyalty and devotion to the state, its people, and of course, Hun’yen himself. However, the Yen Faith also espoused such ideals as gender equality, respect of life, and even the love of peace. The people of the lands he had conquered, who still clung to their old leaders, and the old ways, obviously did not take well to such an obvious attempt to steal their free will, culture and in a sense, their very souls. There were mass rebellions, however, they would not last, as this was the time of rational, and logical thinking. Rather than rely solely on brute force and martial law to put down the rebellions, Hun’yen devised intelligent ways to slowly eliminate resistance. In addition to the early use of force to hold of the insurgent attacks, large inquisitions were implemented to weed out the dissidents. This, coupled with largely publicized “Education Initiatives”, which were quite obviously propaganda programs aimed at children, and cleverly performed publicity campaign, Hun’yen was able to portray himself as not only a stable and effective ruler who had brought peace to the land, but also a demigod, who would lead the Kiant people to the heavens as they had long dreamed to do. Through the long run brain washing programs, the Hun’yen Government had also slowly subdued the Kiant’s deep violent tendencies, and established a stable rule where the equally deep-rooted love of science was able to flourish.
By the time, Hun’yen finally died he had lived an unnaturally long 300 years, and his government, however oppressive, had finally overcome the greatest hurdle that Kiant civilization had faced up till that time, its own people. For the next few thousand years, an industrial revolution came and went, and Kiant Civilization developed at a dizzying rate.
The Yen Faith slowly became the very fabric of Kiant culture, integrating itself so deeply, that it ceased to be a religion, and simply became the Kiant way of life. For better or worse, Hun’yen had secured a spot in history for himself as one of the greatest leaders to have ever lived. Although, remaining pockets of fanatical resistance had somehow stole his body and through ways that should even be told, convinced even die hard believers in the Yen Faith, that he at least was not a god.

The Black Death: When what came from space, was far deadlier than any mere virus…
Roughly 10,000 years into the Kiant Development, the language of the Kiant had been refined and slightly altered. “Kiant” was now pronounced “Kyang”. The fourth generations of FTL vehicles were just coming online and a relatively new space republic known as Sovereign Interstellar had replaced the Hun’yen Nation, which had stood for nearly 6,000 years. Sovereign Interstellar controlled a fledgling interstellar empire, and was well on it’s way to becoming a galactic power, when the first reports from deep space outpost came flooding in about some mysterious force that was ripping its way through the best of the SI defenses. Thus began the 1,000-year struggle against this force. Few records survive of this enemy, although it is known that they were called the “Phantoms”, due to the fact no one was ever able to see one and live to tell about it. They were also dubbed the “Phantoms” for their dark and mysterious nature, and their uncanny and unnerving ability to strike quickly and effectively out of the shadows. It is also known that they far out stripped SI in technology, and military power. The battle was a losing one, and soon, the people of the Sac’tec would need to flee to find a new home world, one hopefully safely hidden from these “Phantoms”. At the end of the last great battle, many of the Kyang people had already fled in massive colony vessels to seek out a new home. Sovereign Interstellar would be remembered as the last great civilization on Sac’tec.
Unbeknownst to those who had fled, Sovereign Interstellar scientists had found ways to penetrate the cloak that the “Phantoms” used. Deprived of their greatest strength, the”Phantoms” found it increasingly more difficult to defeat the SI forces, though they still had innumerable forces in reserve, ready to serve at a moments notice. In the final days of the war, the two factions were locked in a bloody stalemate, with SI forces holding the enemy off with superior technology, and the “Phantom” forces slamming the SI with endless numbers. It is not known exactly what prompted the “Phantom” withdrawal, however, it is known that just when it seemed that the SI would emerge victorious, the “Phantoms” employed one final, insidious device that proved to be the finishing blow in the war. The remaining Home Guard and straggling civilians quickly fled, while the front line forces covering their retreat were left to suffer their fate at the cruel hands of the “Phantoms”. Had those who fled first instead stayed to fight, they SI might have been able to press the brief advantage they gained when they first neutralized the “Phantom” cloaking technology.

Exodus: A new hope, and a new home.
10,001 years into Kyang development, the small fleet of ships that had escaped their ravaged home world of Sac’tec and its colonies were still searching for a new home. Escaping through a series of dangerous jumps that… (Finishing up still.)

As it is that you've aleady shown me this, why not actually make a "Fact Book" thread, and then post up : Kyanges's fact book and have a link going to it?

Are we allowed to buy sectors (from those who already have sectors) or exchange sectors for things?

no, the sectors you have are the sectors you got. You can conquer though...

Our races can have a life that they do not die of age or illness but can be slain by unnatural ways?

Yup. It's like the elf's in "lord of the rings". They die in battle, but not from old age or dissease.

So we go by the first come first serve policy when dividing the galaxy into the parts that we want right like I claimed the corworlds so I have them or as many of the sectors I own can control right (if you have a few important core worlds Huntaer you can keep them)?

I'm on the north east part of the galaxy, the upper north east. So, I don't have any core worlds. The only part I have conserns about people taking is the unknown reagons. If people would read emperor Trilkan's history, they will somewhat understand why.
