2. Planets


Harak
A large rocky planet, orbiting the sun at 88 million Km and does not spin on its axis, the planet is rich in metals(both radioactive and not), both on its surface, beneath is surface and in the several rings of astroids orbiting the planet, making it an important minning operation. The planet has no atmosphere and due to the heavy rocks in orbit makes it impossible to build ships at this location, weapons construction however ws started on the surface some 4 years ago as well as several foundries. It is named for the god of Hope. home to second half of 4th fleet.
Transgard
The site of the Haku wars almost 300 years ago, orbiting 105 million Km from the sun. The planet itself is has been used for Ship building in its orbit and has many foundries on its surface, it is the main ship producer in all of the Onosian system, the planet atmosphere is highly toxic, even before all the foundries. The native species, the insectoid Haku were all thought to be destroyed during the Haku wars, though their are some military comanders that do not believe this. It is named after the first ship to set surface on the planets U.O.S. Transgard . Parts of the planet are off limits as either holy sites and memorials or as part of a archeologist effort to piece together the history of the Haku. Home of the 1/2 of the 4th fleet or 1st/4th fleet
Raboras
Orbiting the sun at 130 million km out, is the so called "Green Jewel" of the Onosian Union. The northern and southern Hemisphere are completely covered with forest, minus some small clearings, while the equater is mainly desert,with two oceans located in the northern, southern and equater. The clearings contain military and training bases, its moon serves as the home of 2nd fleet. It is named after the Onosian god of wilderness and hunt, due to its diversity of animal and plant life....mostly all willing to eat anything that they might get. This makes this a great place for those willing to prove themselfs and a training base for the military.
Onosis
At 157 million Km, Onosis is the symbole of all the the Onosian system, this is where the choices are made and where the power is. Onosis' climate is almost that of modern day earth, although a bit more humid. The planet is covered by 58% water (including icecaps). It is also a major stop for ships all over the system, making also the economical center of Onosis. Its 2 moons face the planet with only one side of its faces. It is the home of the 1st fleet and the Quick Response and Strike Fleet (3rd fleet or 3rd/QRSF). Its name is translated from anciant Tarkand and means "those who lived."
Samora
At 205 million Km out, the thick Atmosphere of the Samora has allowed sufficiant heat in to keep the planet hot enough to keeps its vast oceans (which cover 83% of its surface). But what makes this planet so special is the minning of the ocian floor of the substance known as Yani. Yani has mysterious healing properties which make it worth the trouble to get to. Artificial Islands have been made to both expand the minning operations and for tourists to enjoy the planet's beautiful climate. On it moon, is a Military academy and biological science centers, it is also home to the 5th fleet. It is named after the god of Life. It also has regular people who live on the artificial island cities. It is known as the center of Knowleadge in the system.
Wytic
At 278 million Km out, the gas giant only purpose is as a waystation between the inner and outer solar system. In orbit around the planet are hundreds of space stations, trade posts, military bases, combat instillations, dry docks for repair and construction. It is named after the the god of wrath and fury, because of the many storms that can be seen in its upper atmosphere.
It is the last planet before entering the outer solar system, seperated by the large Eillis Astroid field.
Stogo
302 million Km out Stogo is a advanced military outpost/scanner station, this dead planet of dark red and no atmosphere is home to the 6th, 7th and 8th fleets in it many space stations and ground instillations.Named for the god of War.
Untoo
324 million Km out, large scale metal minning and some foundries, but nothing special, named for the god of light due to its highly reflective surface.
Keptang
413 million Km out officialy a military base, unofficialy a military research center, with huge military defensive bases in orbit and around the surface, home to the 9th fleet the largest of all fleets, and of instillation 413, a deep scanner station.The planet is named after the fortune-teller of the gods.

I. Moons


Transgard

Natava- A world much like Onosis in terms of climate, has many large cities and is mainly a Comercial and Residential Utopia. Named after the first colony of the planet.

Transgard Iotio- Considered a sister moon to Natava, and i pretty much the same, scientists look greatly at the both and still cant answer how both moons turned out to have the same climate, while its parent planet does not. Iotio means opposite in Tarkand

Raboras

Quert- A small brownish moon, it is rich in metal deposits and thusly minning. It is the only moon in the Onosian system to have volcanic activity. In its orbit, it has many trading posts and mlitary installations both on its surface and in its orbit. It is named after the god of fire.

Onosis

Both moons are dead astroides captured in the gravity of the capital planet, but both are holled out. One, named graker (named for the god of dance) is for the public while Stratiya (the god of song) is for military usage only.

Samora

Yupla- named after the godess of beauty, it is a tropical type climate world. 50% of the planet is covered in cities, but no industry is allowed on the planet. This is so no polution will ruin the climate.

Wytic

43 moons, all are pretty dead astroids captured in the gravity of Wytic. All converted to gun platforms
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
All planets have atleast one military space station and/or public space station.

3. Important people of the Union

As more (important) characters are RPed they will be added to the list


Varko'Na the Greater (http://img226.imageshack.us/img226/9292/naea6.jpg)- Var'Ko'Na is not his true name, it is the name given to the Tarkand spiritual leader, giving up ones identity to take a higher purpose is considered a sort of...reincarnation by the Tarkand people. He was voted on to the chosen seat by the senate and other seat brothers by a unanimous vote. That was 310 years ago, as Varko'Na he took control of the 1st fleet during the Haku wars and even though outnumbered won the second battle of Samora, a defeat that turned the tide of the war and leading to the ultimate defeat of the Haku and the restoration of peace in the system. He also aided greatly through politics and sheer will (along with other council members) to repair the damage to the system. And 132 years after the war, took control of the high seat where he still is. Var'Ko'Na is said to be some 1200 years old (about 45-55).He was in the military and was given the title of Varko'Na after defeating the reigning one before him in a match(The title of Varko'Na can only be won by a Tarkand). He also posses a special power known as "the sight", a ability to feel and view other through the essance of thought and feeling, this is rare for his species as well as is the level of control and focus he has with it. He has become a sort of legend to the people of Onosis.

Chief of Staff High Marshel Wade Ulov- With a backround in the starfighter corps for nearly 49 years, Ulov was a briliant tactician during the year long war games 23 years ago. His greatess accomplishment has to be designs for new fighters such as the J-65 Tico Interceptor (http://img483.imageshack.us/img483/7118/j65ticofighter2kn5.jpg). He is considered a very tough commander, but willing to listen to others opinion, Ulov is a Randar but was adopted by Tarkand familliy, some believe this is why is such a briliant military mind.

4.Political Structure

please excuess any confusion is this part, it will become much clearer when i can get some RP experiance in FT and flush out more of this nation.


Tobes Iqui, translated to "Think Together" is the form of goverment Onosis has had since the beginning. The idea behind this goverment is to let the people, planetary/lunar governors and the military to get together and solve large scale disputes (example: minning disputes), Tobes Iqui "courts" follow in order:

High Council: The main council for all the union, the senate(people) is made up of people who run for a seat, if two seperate people want the seat, the Council would vote for who would get it. The largest group is made up of the people comming up from everywhere in the union, they have 200 seats and are called the senate. The second largest group is the planetary and lunar governors taking 14 seats. After that come the military leaders in the Great seats, this include the chief of staff and his fellow military commanders from the military branches making for 8 chairs. The final group is the 5 on the high chairs. They, like the people, are voted in by the high council, all are military men and before getting a chance to be voted on must be agreed upon by the great and high seats.

This high council acts like both a court and a parliament, in both function and purpose. The current high seats are held by:
Sister Janice Qutar- Randar.
Brother Janau Bask- Tarkand Rand.
High Brother Varko'Na- Tarkand Bos.
Brother Weston Trigaf- Randar.
Brother Baco Qui- Tarkand Bos.

All groups above the senate can not be challenged, they can only step-down, vote of no confidance or for the military, be replaced due to them leaving the army to begin with.

Also if a certain policy is not passed in due manner, the council can temporeraly take away voteing from all other groups and vote for it themselfs.


Military Council: Led by men picked from the great and high seats in the high council, although powerful has no real say in most politics other than military politics, tribunals (Traitors) and courts of military justice, it is led by 3 picked senior officers chosen from the qualified personnel in the military for a term of 3-5 years, one from the United Starfighter Corps, the United Onosian Fleets and the Grand Union Armies. While not falling into Tobas way of goverment, each level of goverment has a Military Council of sorts as well as fleets (though they are usually small). They are also incharge(to a certain degree) of all military outposts and military planets (Wytic, Keptang, Stogo and any moons that are like this.)


Planetary System Council: This next form of goverment is where most of the "action" occurs, meetings on industry, defence and other, so called, hot topics. This is only for systems in the Onosian union with a moon(s). In this goverment you have the governor of the planet, the governor of its moon with their respective cabinets, the senate of 67 seats and a representative of the Onosian High Council meeting to disscus terms that represent their own peoples wants. The Rep. is usually just a mediator for these proceedings. Also acts as court like all others.

The Planetary Council: Basicly the same thing just for planets without moons. So only the senate, governor of planet and Rep. are attending.


The Civil Council: Deals with cities on the planets surface, basic mayor type goverment with a senate house of 121 seats.

TBC.....maybe.....

5. Religion

Almost 12 Millenia ago in the Old home, peace was proclaimed between the Tarkand Empire and the Peoples of Randar, effectively ending almost 600 years of constant war and resulting in the formation of the Tarmink Union (named after the old home planet the treaty was signed.) Also the formation of the political system of Tobes Iqui, giving a new sense of togetherness....or that was the plan.

You cannot simply remove the hate caused by the 600 years and the untold billions of lives wasted in the Great Wars, fights and riots were a common companion. The leader of the day Esix Mei, a randar female and veteran of the Great wars (as a part of a resistance group on one planet.) along with the Great and High seats looked for a way to show that the Tarkand and Randar were ment to be together. This plan was brought together by then Var'Kona, Var'kona the Lame (this due to his malformed arm), and met with council members in secret to propose his plan for unification.

Take both the Tarkand and Randar bibles, mix them and say it was found in a archological dig. The Bible of Sek told the story of the god changing a race known as the Sek, a very spoiled and arrogent race, into Randar and Tarkand, the early ansestors of the tarkand were pure warmongers while the Randar were careing, and as time went on, the Tarkand became more and more logical while the Randar became more hostile until balance was made. This balance caused the wars, it is said, by the Demon Deaobek, who tricked the Randar and Tarkand into thinking they were superior to each other, inorder to ruin the king god's (Leaobek) plan for a "peaceful balance" (which would show the races why they needed each other)

When the book was "found", unification started. A new sence of brotherhood sweept through the union. the Var'kona and the high seats at the time took a vow of secrecy, and the true nature of Sek was never reveled.

The Onosians never believed in heaven (as it is more a book of guidence rather than a way to the afterlife.) , they thought the idea bothersome, they thought it took away from the here and now of things. Why work or do anything for anyone if you will have an other life after that? The Onosians instead pray for guidence and wisdom and the deeper understanding of nature around them, if you behave and look after your fellow brother the gods will grant you guidence and luck, and help you in your time of need.

But there is a after life, merely a life on a higher plain, not a place of infinite pleasure like heaven. To get to this life, you must be found worthy, or to have lived a good life. If your life is full of shame and wickedness you come back, reincarnated into a new form without previous memory.

8.Military

The Onosian military has a long tradition, though most of it is of the ancient battles of the old home or of the Haku wars, the men of the Onosian military take this home. The very religious fabric of Onosis tells of the honor you gain in battle. Woman do not serve. They are not fanatical and warmongering by any means, but see combat as a way to enlightenment of ones own weakness and strengths and thusly oneself. To show you your place in life.

OOC: i am rushing because i got to go soon so military will be continued

The military has 3 large groups and non-combat/security forces with their own command structures:
