The basic foundation of this rp shall be the creation of civilizations in this galaxy of your own making and the building of your own history, species, future, and empires.
The core idea of this thread is the ability to fiddle around with your people to a great degree as this rp shall follow its own rules and designs in order to create a sense of freedom while rping in order to better allow for creativity and enjoyment while rping as this offers a free idea for this.
Also, people from other galaxies can hold colonies here provided they can make the jump between galaxies reasonably or have come to it on sleeper ships.
Their overall rules for this shall be that population shall be submitted and then agreed upon with me, tech I shall monitor, my statements are able to be contradicted, though can only be dismissed by me.
Background:
The background for this is that the galaxy long ago was ruled over by the nearly benevolent beings, my Eternals, whom are now often referred to as gods by many of the later peoples.
The story of the end of their reign came about one hundred sixty million years ago after a war against their dark kin in a distant place and they had decided the galaxy had come to the point where it should be left to its own devices.
After they had left two peoples, the near human, warlike, and powerful Ramio and the ancient and advanced Order, and the had remained in their wake to take over their old power centers, but this had occurred five million years after the Eternals left the galaxy entirely. They though were not able to successfully find many of the worlds of the Eternals, as they had been entirely hidden, though they were able to recover much of the ancient Eternal tech to found their technologically advanced empires.
The Ramio rule began the creation of a powerful empire on the north western quadrant of the galaxy in which they enslaved many of the lesser peoples of the galaxy where they used their military power to maintain their empire and to keep expanding consuming the resources of the galaxy.
The Order on the other created a vast confederation of peoples under the leadership of the Order’s Council order. The Order were much more advanced then the Ramio whom they waged a number of wars against unsuccessfully till they formed a neutral zone which stands to this day. Yet, the Order was a secretive group made up of hereditary lineages of powerful beings whom numbered less then ten million, but ruled a people of quadtrillions.
Currently the galaxy is in an easy peace as the two great power of the north of it have not gone to war and now more civilizations are staring to form.

Government Head: Council of the Order
Population: 2,786,489,216,000,000 citizens, 7,886,384 Order Members
Currency: Confederate Unit of Exchange
Languages: Confederate Standard
Bio: The Order on the other created a vast confederation of peoples under the leadership of the Order’s Council order. The Order were much more advanced then the Ramio whom they waged a number of wars against unsuccessfully till they formed a neutral zone which stands to this day. Yet, the Order was a secretive group made up of hereditary lineages of powerful beings whom numbered less then ten million, but ruled a people of quadtrillions.
The Order itself is more a priesthood for the Empire acting as the representatives of tradition and act as such maintain peace and order throughout the vastness of the Confederacy. The members of the Order are chosen due to the unique genetic code imprinted in their lines by the Eternals before they left the galaxy. In turn though this code cannot be replicated by any means due to the fact that it was done by some of the most advacned technologies of the Eternals and thus it is millions of years ahead of anything in this galaxy. As well, this gene grants them massively augmented mind powers, abilities which allow them to fight entire units on their own, telepathy with members of the Order, and the ability to intereface with the ships that the Order uses.
Further, the Order respects the Eternals as righteous, givers of all that they known, and powerful predecessors/parents to the people whom deserve their respect and to be honored as such. Due to this a basic religion has formed around their ideals which the Order embodies and the Confederacy seeks to maintian along with all that the Eternals left for their children in this galaxy. Such aspects which have nearly created an image of them being semi-divine beings whom are worshipped by many of the peoples of the Confederacy with the Order acting now as the ones whom uphold what remains of their ancient teaching and of their memory.

Bio: A powerful and technolligcally advanced race that maintains rule over their countless subject peoples whom rule by sheer force, religion, and fear. They pose as the direct link between the Eternal gods and to their slave subjects as such act as a proud and powerful people whom perform great acts amd demand their subjects serve them without question. As well, the Ramio are a very warlike race, as they have to be to preserve the Empire, and as such every Ramio child must be strong and if not they are delegated to mental augmentation in order to better serve the Empire as politicans, bureaucrats, and stragetists. Such pratices have turned them into a well organized people who are able to keep the Empire going to this day and all their people serve the Empire for a tenth of their lives, 120 years, either as soldiers or as bureaucrats.

Civilization Name: The Chosen
Number of Planets: 5,000 Pledged Worlds. 16 Temple Worlds. 27 Military Worlds. 50 Worlds of the Forge. 60 Fortress Worlds. 97 "Hunt Worlds." 150 Untamed Prospects. 50 worlds of the Infernal Lords.
Government Head: High Prophet Darius
Population: Somewhere in the region of hundreds of trillions, including but not limited to pilgrims and helots.
Currency: The Rune-coin
Languages: A number of bastardised and chaotic tongues.
Bio: He was on his knees, dust and wind against his bare knees, rain lashing against his skin. He felt it evaporate, the rain searing him in a single acid-flash of white hotness before it faded altogether. He did not look up, the scent of warpfire and rot alone told him that he was once again successful. He felt the touch of the abyssal against his skin, his breathing laboured.
He surrendered
Hailing to the Galactic South, the Chosen are a vast and bloated religious order which enforces a strict military and dictatorial rule on those worlds and systems subordinated beneath the will of Faith.
None know where Darius first pledged himself to the Ruinous Powers, but what they do know is that he scorns the notion of both Eternals and the Dark Kin as Gods. Instead he offers the idea of true Gods, beyond the ken of mere mortals. Beyond the understanding of the Faithless. He is the bringer of the Way and the Word. He is their Chosen instrument, and he turns the ancient gifts of the Eternals against their servants.
He let himself relax into the dark embrace, felt blades rending his scars, felt teasing fingers inscribe him with runic patterns. Needles incised his flesh and made him feel truly alive, surging with black pleasure. They were marking him as their own, tattooing his pestilant flesh with their touch...
Gods...He was unworthy of such honors!
The first recorded mention of the Chosen amongst modern texts is the saga of the Fall of Xhalax Primaris. A great prophet descended upon wings of fire, with an army of Slaves. He proclaimed to the people that he was a God-King, a Prophet sent from true Gods. And he delivered to them their salvation.
Even now, prophets and pilgrims inscribe the stars with their steps, spreading his will and his word to every sentient corner of the Galaxy.
And no one truly knows how far his means, evident and hidden, span.
He teased a finger along the edge of the ceremonial sword, a beautiful weapon forged in the fires and the blood of Xhalax. His entire armor and each weapon he wielded, each beautiful instrument of absolute torment, was inscribed with runes in the ancient Xhalaxian Hell-talk.
It was his capital, a shining gem in the midst of a sea of petulant ignorance. He thrust, testing the reach of his most holy and debased weapon.
He would educate the weak and the foolish. And bring the light to all who would bow to it...Bring the touch of his Ruinous Masters to all corners of this galaxy.
And beyond.

Civilization Name: The Imperial Republic of Pax Eternalius
Number of Planets: ~3,250 Total, ~500 Agricultural, ~1,000 Colony, 250 Dedicated Military Fortresses, 750 Mining, 750 Industrial.
Government Head: Darnalus Extanera
Population: 1.2 Trillion
Currency: Imperial Dollar
Languages: Basic, Pax War-Cant, Barbarius.
Bio: Ruled by a man claiming to be a Rogue Eternal, the government is run like an Empire, with Carnalus Extanera at its head. However, every other government position save military, can be elected by the people.
The civilians live in rather peaceful, and fruitful conditions. However, every citizen of the Empire must serve a minimum of 4 years on the military. After that, many choose to stay in the military because of its extroadinary benefits, but alot leave to to either supply the great military through civilian conglomerates, or to farm on the vast and many agriculutral world.
The people are treated fairly, and rebellion is at a minimal. Although they have very few creature comforts, their extreme dedication to their 'God'(Through use of many, and mostly true propoganda) lets them deal without such comforts.
Although they are ruled by an iron fist, the King is actually a decent ruler. Unlike the stereotypical Empires of evil and such, the King treats all of his people well, as long as they uphold the tennets of their military oriented society.

Civilization Name: The Cerberus Alliance
Number of Planets: 7 (1 solar system- heavily colonized, terraformed, and guarded)
Government Head: Great-Observer Irin Doran
Population: *don't really know what to think up for this one*
Currency: Cerberan Credit
Languages: Cerberan, Basic, and Binary (Cyborgs and Various Drones)
Bio:
Despite being fairly technologically advanced for a race of their relatively young age, the Cerberans are still a very isolationist society. So much so, that one of the first things attempted by them was a massive satelite network of cloaking field generators and FTLi systems as an attempt to stop people outside their nation from finding and/or entering their precious home.
Many centuries and a bloody "reunification" war later, possibly encouraged by individuals who found ways around the system's defenses, the Cerberus Alliance has emerged from hiding under the leadership of the Observer council and Great-Observer Irin Doran in order to finally enter the galactic stage. However, the Observers know that their small solar system is only a speck in the galaxy, and that their civilization will be in an uphill struggle if they ever become intent on becoming a major power.
Secrecy is still extremely important to the Cerberans, and a high percentage of the nation's population have personal stealth and cloaking field generators, and the knowledge of how to use them most effectively.

Civilization Name :The Alliance
Number of Planets :28 Planets 40 Terraformed moons
Government: Authoritatian Democracy
Population: 48 Billion
Currency: Cash on the Outerworlds, Credit on the Inner worlds
Languages: Chinese and English
Bio: (Blatent and unapologetic rip off from Firefly) The Alliance formed 200 years after the Exodus of Earth. They traveled for generations onboard packed transport ships without FTL drives. Many generations lived and died onboard these ships as they slowly moved through the galaxy, until they found their new home.
Oneday the ships came across a huge solar system. Two of the planets were uninhabited but met the conditions for human life. Most had to be terraformed, the process taking many decades.
Years after the inital Colonization, the two strongest planets osiris and Ra formed the Alliance, a political amd military alliance to place every world under one government, to help spread enlightenment and social advances. However the worlds of the outer planets did not want the Core planets to interfere with their devolpment. Civil war broke out.
After many bloody years, the Outer planets were conquered. Although the Alliance forgave the outer planets their economies are stifled, and most do not have technology above the 19th century.
Today the Alliance has begun to spread out to these outer planets, not only to gain more control over their fragile governorship, but to truly unify all of the planets, under the guise of social advancement.

Government Head: The council of Kenysthuggo
Population:50 billion (5 billion on each planet)
Currency:Cligua
Languages:A'narnyinai
Bio:The Gghuakrugo are a race of large reptilian-humanoids. Their society is very much like ancient Sparta, almost everything revolves around military and all males go through the military but they are lax to use their military unless they have to. That being said they smash and loot other races in their empire or just outside of it to show the might of their forces and to keep their economy running. Any non Gghuakrugo in the Gghuakrugo Empire is a slave that will be terrorized by the young male Gghuakrugo in their training and these slaves have to give everything they produce to their overlords to keep the Empire going.

Civilization Name: The Yeerks
Number of Planets: 1
Government Head: None
Population: 40 billion
Currency: None
Languages: None
Bio:
A Yeerk is a parasite that takes over the the body of another being by way of infestation through the skull or spine. They possess palps, which are antennae-like protrusions, as well as osmosis nodes, or small organs that process nutrients in the Yeerks' native pools. Although the presence of a circulatory system of some kind is debatable, apparently Yeerks have no hearts, as evidenced by the description of a human morphing into a Yeerk, in which the human heart stops and dissolves away completely. They communicate in their natural state using a language of ultrasonic squeaks, and use sonar to get a basic picture of the surroundings. The process of infestation by a Yeerk is painful, the skull being split open and the brain being sat open, or the jaw latching onto the spine.
The Yeerk parasites cannot stay within their host for more than 3 days. After this period of time, they need to bathe in a Yeerk pool and absorb Kandrona rays, the rays of the Yeerk home sun. Without these rays, a Yeerk eventually starves. However, there is a way for Yeerks to survive without Kandrona rays: to eat other Yeerks. Yeerks may also survive a lack of Kandrona rays by consuming sugar, although its effects are narcotic and cause the Yeerk to become insane, trapped within its host indeterminately, without the need to feed in a Yeerk pool. The host may regain some control of its body from time to time, while the Yeerk has lapsed into narcotic-induced lack of control. Usually the Yeerk is not intelligible after full addiction has occurred, since the chemicals in the sugar damage part of its brain stem.
Yeerks reproduce by fusion followed by fission. Three parent Yeerks merge into a single organism, which then breaks apart into hundreds of separate grubs, destroying the parents in the process. Yeerks do not have different genders; presumably any three random Yeerks can fuse in reproduction.
The Yeerk homeworld, Xlex, has various sattelites, one of the natural ones is a moon called Madra. Yeerks inhabit a homeworld with a dark green and yellow, lightning-torn sky. The ground is largely dark rich soil and roughly circular Yeerk pools dot the surface, presumably connected to each other somehow but this is not explained. Individual pools have names, Sulp Niar for example. Yeerk pool water is a sludgy grey, filled with nutrients Yeerks need besides Kandrona rays. There are no more than a hundred animal species on the Yeerk homeworld, among them the Kurdian species (who used to have the Yeerk homeworld as a colony), which became the Yeerks' natural host, nearly a symbiotic relationship.
The Kurindans are omnivorous aliens with saurian features, warm blood, and opposable thumbs. They consist of two species, one small and agile, the other large and powerful, who exist in a mutually beneficial partnership. They originally inhabited a small sector of space near the southern edge of the galaxy. Kurindans possess intelligence comparable to humans, though they are not known for brilliant creativity (Kurindans have no art) or inventiveness (most technology is copied from other races). Kurindans are naturally aggressive and xenophobic. They are a modestly psychic race, but the number of new Kurindan psykers dwindles every year.
In the 36th Millennium, Kurindan technology advanced to the point of allowing interplanetary travel, and they set out from their home world—Kurinda—to explore nearby worlds. Approximately fifty Terran years after the attainment of space flight, the Kurindans discovered warp travel. This permitted them to attack and subjugate planets—including a few inhabited by humans—in neighboring star systems.
In the middle of the 36th Millennium, Kurindan civilization reached its zenith with an empire of 13 worlds across four systems in close astrographic proximity. The Kurindan Empire, a democratic republic, endured for almost three centuries until the strain of maintaining centralized government and the near-constant rebellions of conquered races took their inevitable toll. The Empire fell, and the Kurindans fought each other for the fragments.
So drastic was their fall and so fierce their in-fighting that the Kurindans quickly slipped into barbarism, from which, it appears, they shall never recover. Now, scattered bands can be found throughout the galaxy, preying on rival Kurindans and other races. Kurdians are now kept as a slave race on Xlex.

Civilization Name: The Confederation of Dirikian Nomads
Number of Planets: 1 world (The Holy World of Dirik,) and thousands of spacecraft
Government Head: Representative Dictator Patrick Collin
Population: ~300 million
Currency: non-uniformed gold coins (or other precious metals)
Languages: English, Basic, Chinese, Korean, Dirikian, etc., etc.
Bio: The Nomadic people of Dirik are a people that value little more than their own safe neutrality and scientific progress. Though centered at Dirik, most of the "nation's" citizens dwell in well-armed spacecraft that roam around the political center in roughly a three to four light year radius. Nothing is uniform within the nation, not even language, although the Dirikian goverment is adopting measures to make Dirikian (an English-based language,) the official language of the realm.
Science, philosophy, and defence are the main concerns of the socialist Dirikian goverment. Its citizens are divided, de facto, into three classes: the Intellectual Elites, the Aristocratic Military and, the foundation of most societies, the Appreciated Workers. Of course, as an advance, though disorganized, society, one is not really born into their class and have mostly free reign over their destinies. A "mostly" is a necessary insert, because all healthy citizens serve four years of mandatory military service and after that service until the age of fifty, these citizens can be called back into military service in the event of a national emergency.

Civilization Name: Alliance of Vampad
Number of Planets: ~500 Core worlds, ~10,000 Colony worlds, ~3,000 Agriworlds, ~4,000 Industrial worlds, ~1,500 Mining worlds, ~400 Fortress worlds, ~100 Ordanance/Regional Depot worlds, ~1500 Unexplored/Uninhabited worlds. ~21,000 total
Government Head: Chief of State/President Ben Keeler
Population: Approximately 7 trillion sapients.
Currency: Vampad Credit
Languages: Vampad Basic, Chiss, Wookiee, Bothan and Selkath.
Bio: Originally consisting of the Core Worlds, the Alliance of Vampad was oficially formed into a Federal Republic of planets when a number of worlds agreed to accept common currency, trade laws and languages. The Core worlds consisted primarily of humans, chiss, bothans and wookiees. The capital world of the Alliance was chosen to be Vampad, the homeworld of the humans.
The Chiss and Humans, ever militaristic, officially formed the Alliance Defence Force and consisted of the bulk of the personnel. The Bothans were primarily the bureaucrats of the newly formed government and the wookiees served best as workers and builders. Even so, it was not a rarity to find either species in any other role. This was a time of relative peace and prosperity between planets and species.
The invention of faster than light speed allowed the Alliance to scout unknown areas of space and set up trade hyperpace routes to other planets and systems. The Alliance had gradually grown into an impressive 100 member worlds, when a race unknown to the Alliance began conquering small planets on the fringes of Alliance territory.
The race of aliens called the Selkath felt that their territories were being encroached upon, and called for an all-out war against the Alliance. This forced the Alliance to put all they had into building warships and improving existing technologies. After 5 years of war and billions of deaths later, the Selkath and the Alliance formed a peace treaty and found a way to co-exist. The war brought a great cost to the economies of many worlds.
The Selkath were slowly integrated into the Alliance and over the next 100 years, the Alliance expanded ever out into the galaxy, taking a foothold on a large number of colony worlds, forming impressive shipyards, mining worlds and industrial worlds. This boom greatly improved the economy of the Alliance, as countless jobs were created and new worlds were settled.
The Alliance has continued much like this ever since.

Seems interesting. But I do not understand the story what so ever. Yes I have read it. Do you have a paraphrased version?Here is the quick version of it:
Eternals left this galaxy after deciding it was time to leave it to its own devices, two races emerged and using Eternal tech they managed to find propelled themselves to a place of galactic power and both constructed Empires over time to their prepective places. The two current powers waged a numbers of bloody wars till they agree upon a neutral zone and have not since fought with each other.
A period of time paces and the ring is now open for everyone to come in and duke it out until someones wins.
Is that understandable as my English is not so good.;)

Hailing to the Galactic South, the Chosen are a vast and bloated religious order which enforces a strict military and dictatorial rule on those worlds and systems subordinated beneath the will of Faith.
None know where Darius first pledged himself to the Ruinous Powers, but what they do know is that he scorns the notion of both Eternals and the Dark Kin as Gods. Instead he offers the idea of true Gods, beyond the ken of mere mortals. Beyond the understanding of the Faithless. He is the bringer of the Way and the Word. He is their Chosen instrument, and he turns the ancient gifts of the Eternals against their servants.
He let himself relax into the dark embrace, felt blades rending his scars, felt teasing fingers inscribe him with runic patterns. Needles incised his flesh and made him feel truly alive, surging with black pleasure. They were marking him as their own, tattooing his pestilant flesh with their touch...
Gods...He was unworthy of such honors!
The first recorded mention of the Chosen amongst modern texts is the saga of the Fall of Xhalax Primaris. A great prophet descended upon wings of fire, with an army of Slaves. He proclaimed to the people that he was a God-King, a Prophet sent from true Gods. And he delivered to them their salvation.

It was his capital, a shining gem in the midst of a sea of petulant ignorance. He thrust, testing the reach of his most holy and debased weapon.
He would educate the weak and the foolish. And bring the light to all who would bow to it...Bring the touch of his Ruinous Masters to all corners of this galaxy.

Hailing to the Galactic South, the Chosen are a vast and bloated religious order which enforces a strict military and dictatorial rule on those worlds and systems subordinated beneath the will of Faith.
None know where Darius first pledged himself to the Ruinous Powers, but what they do know is that he scorns the notion of both Eternals and the Dark Kin as Gods. Instead he offers the idea of true Gods, beyond the ken of mere mortals. Beyond the understanding of the Faithless. He is the bringer of the Way and the Word. He is their Chosen instrument, and he turns the ancient gifts of the Eternals against their servants.
He let himself relax into the dark embrace, felt blades rending his scars, felt teasing fingers inscribe him with runic patterns. Needles incised his flesh and made him feel truly alive, surging with black pleasure. They were marking him as their own, tattooing his pestilant flesh with their touch...
Gods...He was unworthy of such honors!
The first recorded mention of the Chosen amongst modern texts is the saga of the Fall of Xhalax Primaris. A great prophet descended upon wings of fire, with an army of Slaves. He proclaimed to the people that he was a God-King, a Prophet sent from true Gods. And he delivered to them their salvation.
Even now, prophets and pilgrims inscribe the stars with their steps, spreading his will and his word to every sentient corner of the Galaxy.
And no one truly knows how far his means, evident and hidden, span.
He teased a finger along the edge of the ceremonial sword, a beautiful weapon forged in the fires and the blood of Xhalax. His entire armor and each weapon he wielded, each beautiful instrument of absolute torment, was inscribed with runes in the ancient Xhalaxian Hell-talk.
It was his capital, a shining gem in the midst of a sea of petulant ignorance. He thrust, testing the reach of his most holy and debased weapon.
He would educate the weak and the foolish. And bring the light to all who would bow to it...Bring the touch of his Ruinous Masters to all corners of this galaxy.
And beyond.Good to have you aboard my warlike friend.:D

Civilization Name: The Imperial Republic of Pax Eternalius
Number of Planets: ~3,250 Total, ~500 Agricultural, ~1,000 Colony, 250 Dedicated Military Fortresses, 750 Mining, 750 Industrial.
Government Head: Darnalus Extanera
Population: 1.2 Trillion
Currency: Imperial Dollar
Languages: Basic, Pax War-Cant, Barbarius.
Bio: Ruled by a man claiming to be a Rogue Eternal, the government is run like an Empire, with Carnalus Extanera at its head. However, every other government position save military, can be elected by the people.
The civilians live in rather peaceful, and fruitful conditions. However, every citizen of the Empire must serve a minimum of 4 years on the military. After that, many choose to stay in the military because of its extroadinary benefits, but alot leave to to either supply the great military through civilian conglomerates, or to farm on the vast and many agriculutral world.
The people are treated fairly, and rebellion is at a minimal. Although they have very few creature comforts, their extreme dedication to their 'God'(Through use of many, and mostly true propoganda) lets them deal without such comforts.
Although they are ruled by an iron fist, the King is actually a decent ruler. Unlike the stereotypical Empires of evil and such, the King treats all of his people well, as long as they uphold the tennets of their military oriented society.Realizing that I have to large of area for my Confederacy of Order would you mind if I give you a part of its northeastern region?

Civilization Name: The Cerberus Alliance
Number of Planets: 7 (1 solar system- heavily colonized, terraformed, and guarded)
Government Head: Great-Observer Irin Doran
Population: ~18 billion
Currency: Cerberan Credit
Languages: Cerberan, Basic, and Binary (Cyborgs and Various Drones)
Bio:
Despite being fairly technologically advanced for a race of their relatively young age, the Cerberans are still a very isolationist society. So much so, that one of the first things attempted by them was a massive satelite network of cloaking field generators and FTLi systems as an attempt to stop people outside their nation from finding and/or entering their precious home.
Many centuries and a bloody "reunification" war later, possibly encouraged by individuals who found ways around the system's defenses, the Cerberus Alliance has emerged from hiding under the leadership of the Observer council and Great-Observer Irin Doran in order to finally enter the galactic stage. However, the Observers know that their small solar system is only a speck in the galaxy, and that their civilization will be in an uphill struggle if they ever become intent on becoming a major power.
Secrecy is still extremely important to the Cerberans, and a high percentage of the nation's population have personal stealth and cloaking field generators, and the knowledge of how to use them most effectively.

Number of Planets :28 Planets 40 Terraformed moons
Government: Authoritatian Democracy
Population: 48 Billion
Currency: Cash on the Outerworlds, Credit on the Inner worlds
Languages: Chinese and English
Bio: (Blatent and unapologetic rip off from Firefly) The Alliance formed 200 years after the Exodus of Earth. They traveled for generations onboard packed transport ships without FTL drives. Many generations lived and died onboard these ships as they slowly moved through the galaxy, until they found their new home.
Oneday the ships came across a huge solar system. Two of the planets were uninhabited but met the conditions for human life. Most had to be terraformed, the process taking many decades.
Years after the inital Colonization, the two strongest planets osiris and Ra formed the Alliance, a political amd military alliance to place every world under one government, to help spread enlightenment and social advances. However the worlds of the outer planets did not want the Core planets to interfere with their devolpment. Civil war broke out.
After many bloody years, the Outer planets were conquered. Although the Alliance forgave the outer planets their economies are stifled, and most do not have technology above the 19th century.
Today the Alliance has begun to spread out to these outer planets, not only to gain more control over their fragile governorship, but to truly unify all of the planets, under the guise of social advancement.

Population: 10 Billion on Tetriach, 6 Billion on each of the Colonized

Bio: Biology and Psychic Powers Part of my Incomplete Wiki (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Tetriarchon)
Tetriarch Mythos
Eons ago, the Tetriarchons were mere hunter gatherers, constantly warring with rival tribes and killing all in their path. They were feral and vicious towards fellow Tetriarchons. There came a time where they were on the brink of extinction when they saw a fire in the sky crash into the ground. Many Tetriarchons came from all around the world to the crash site to reveal a spaceship containing a being from another planet. The Tetriarchs worshipped the being that was known to them as Tetria. He united the dying race as one country and taught them agriculture, architecture, wisdom and law, and military tactics. The Tetriarchs flourished under the rule of Tetria for many years, always remembering the way of Tetria.
However, Tetria's reign would not last. From the abyss of space that he came from arrived undead invaders, walking cadavers weapons never before seen by the Tetriarchons. Tetria told the Tetriarchs to stay and be safe as he would have to defend the planet from these invaders. Reluctantly, the Tetriarchs stayed hidden as Tetria unsheathed his sword and charged into battle.
The epic battle lasted for days as Tetria slew through entire legions of the undead, but they kept rising above. After forty days and forty nights, Tetria fell to the hammer of the undead invaders and all had seemed lost to the planet.
One Tetriarch had risen from his dwelling. His name was Namat. Unwilling to living on his knees as a servant to the dark ones, Namat ran and tried to pick up Tetria's sword to slay as many as he could. He was not strong enough and could not lift it. However, other Tetriarchs saw the courage and blind fury in his eyes and one by one, they too left and gathered to help Namat with the sword. It took every man and woman in the city to lift it but Namat had it in his hand now, ready to fight. Tetria saw the courage and undying loyalty they had for him and with his dying breath, he gave them the gift of Tetria.
Psychic energy surged through the sword and each and every soldier in the legion of the Tetriarchs was granted psychic powers beyond all comprehension. The battle ensued as countless Tetriarchs with Namat at the helm slaughtered the invaders and drove them back off of the planets after seven days and seven nights.
All wouldn't be the same, as Tetria lay dead on the blood covered battlefield. The Tetriarchs grew frightened as many gathered around his body. But he had one last gift for them. He promised them that every generation a ruler would arise that would have the incredible powers of Tetria and that he would reincarnate over and over again in an endless circuit of beings known as he Avatarch. Many of the people that were there would also be blessed as they would have some of his powers. These people were called Psykarchs and they would be the defenders of the Avatarch. Namat, having the strength and wisdom to rule, became the first Avatarch and the ruler of the Supremacy.
Tetriarchs are a very advanced race, dedicated to spreading peace across the galaxy. They are very knowledgable of the evils in the universe and leave their planet prepared with powerful weapons and their highly trained soldiers. They employ special armour for their soldiers made from special nano-bots that can self-repair the armour and heal the soldier. Each soldier also has a special fluid replacing their blood that takes care of infections and diseases contracted from visiting worlds.
Special walking battle armour called MAST (Mobile Assault Strike Tactical) suits are often employed by their experience pilots to decimate the enemy. The Tetriarchs are known for their incredible psychic powers (See Wiki)

Civilization Name: The Confederation of Dirikian Nomads
Number of Planets: 1 world (The Holy World of Dirik,) and thousands of spacecraft
Government Head: Representative Dictator Patrick Collin
Population: ~300 million
Currency: non-uniformed gold coins (or other precious metals)
Languages: English, Basic, Chinese, Korean, Dirikian, etc., etc.
Bio: The Nomadic people of Dirik are a people that value little more than their own safe neutrality and scientific progress. Though centered at Dirik, most of the "nation's" citizens dwell in well-armed spacecraft that roam around the political center in roughly a three to four light year radius. Nothing is uniform within the nation, not even language, although the Dirikian goverment is adopting measures to make Dirikian (an English-based language,) the official language of the realm.
Science, philosophy, and defence are the main concerns of the socialist Dirikian goverment. Its citizens are divided, de facto, into three classes: the Intellectual Elites, the Aristocratic Military and, the foundation of most societies, the Appreciated Workers. Of course, as an advance, though disorganized, society, one is not really born into their class and have mostly free reign over their destinies. A "mostly" is a necessary insert, because all healthy citizens serve four years of mandatory military service and after that service until the age of fifty, these citizens can be called back into military service in the event of a national emergency.

Civilization Name: The Yeerks
Number of Planets: 1
Government Head: None
Population: 40 billion
Currency: None
Languages: None
Bio:
A Yeerk is a parasite that takes over the the body of another being by way of infestation through the skull or spine. They possess palps, which are antennae-like protrusions, as well as osmosis nodes, or small organs that process nutrients in the Yeerks' native pools. Although the presence of a circulatory system of some kind is debatable, apparently Yeerks have no hearts, as evidenced by the description of a human morphing into a Yeerk, in which the human heart stops and dissolves away completely. They communicate in their natural state using a language of ultrasonic squeaks, and use sonar to get a basic picture of the surroundings. The process of infestation by a Yeerk is painful, the skull being split open and the brain being sat open, or the jaw latching onto the spine.
The Yeerk parasites cannot stay within their host for more than 3 days. After this period of time, they need to bathe in a Yeerk pool and absorb Kandrona rays, the rays of the Yeerk home sun. Without these rays, a Yeerk eventually starves. However, there is a way for Yeerks to survive without Kandrona rays: to eat other Yeerks. Yeerks may also survive a lack of Kandrona rays by consuming sugar, although its effects are narcotic and cause the Yeerk to become insane, trapped within its host indeterminately, without the need to feed in a Yeerk pool. The host may regain some control of its body from time to time, while the Yeerk has lapsed into narcotic-induced lack of control. Usually the Yeerk is not intelligible after full addiction has occurred, since the chemicals in the sugar damage part of its brain stem.
Yeerks reproduce by fusion followed by fission. Three parent Yeerks merge into a single organism, which then breaks apart into hundreds of separate grubs, destroying the parents in the process. Yeerks do not have different genders; presumably any three random Yeerks can fuse in reproduction.
The Yeerk homeworld, Xlex, has various sattelites, one of the natural ones is a moon called Madra. Yeerks inhabit a homeworld with a dark green and yellow, lightning-torn sky. The ground is largely dark rich soil and roughly circular Yeerk pools dot the surface, presumably connected to each other somehow but this is not explained. Individual pools have names, Sulp Niar for example. Yeerk pool water is a sludgy grey, filled with nutrients Yeerks need besides Kandrona rays. There are no more than a hundred animal species on the Yeerk homeworld, among them the Kurdian species (who used to have the Yeerk homeworld as a colony), which became the Yeerks' natural host, nearly a symbiotic relationship.
The Kurindans are omnivorous aliens with saurian features, warm blood, and opposable thumbs. They consist of two species, one small and agile, the other large and powerful, who exist in a mutually beneficial partnership. They originally inhabited a small sector of space near the southern edge of the galaxy. Kurindans possess intelligence comparable to humans, though they are not known for brilliant creativity (Kurindans have no art) or inventiveness (most technology is copied from other races). Kurindans are naturally aggressive and xenophobic. They are a modestly psychic race, but the number of new Kurindan psykers dwindles every year.
In the 36th Millennium, Kurindan technology advanced to the point of allowing interplanetary travel, and they set out from their home world—Kurinda—to explore nearby worlds. Approximately fifty Terran years after the attainment of space flight, the Kurindans discovered warp travel. This permitted them to attack and subjugate planets—including a few inhabited by humans—in neighboring star systems.
In the middle of the 36th Millennium, Kurindan civilization reached its zenith with an empire of 13 worlds across four systems in close astrographic proximity. The Kurindan Empire, a democratic republic, endured for almost three centuries until the strain of maintaining centralized government and the near-constant rebellions of conquered races took their inevitable toll. The Empire fell, and the Kurindans fought each other for the fragments.
So drastic was their fall and so fierce their in-fighting that the Kurindans quickly slipped into barbarism, from which, it appears, they shall never recover. Now, scattered bands can be found throughout the galaxy, preying on rival Kurindans and other races. Kurdians are now kept as a slave race on Xlex.

I'd like my area of control to be a small circle (about a third the size of the purple area,) around where that bright star in the southeast quadrant is. Oh, and preferably in a good color like green.Alright, submit a template amd I will be right on it, but you do realize that is a quasar or a supernova.

Civilization Name: The Confederation of Dirikian Nomads
Number of Planets: 1 world (The Holy World of Dirik,) and thousands of spacecraft
Government Head: Representative Dictator Patrick Collin
Population: ~300 million
Currency: non-uniformed gold coins (or other precious metals)
Languages: English, Basic, Chinese, Korean, Dirikian, etc., etc.
Bio:
The Nomadic people of Dirik are a people that value little more than their own safe neutrality and scientific progress. Though centered at Dirik, most of the "nation's" citizens dwell in well-armed spacecraft that roam around the political center in roughly a three to four light year radius. Nothing is uniform within the nation, not even language, although the Dirikian goverment is adopting measures to make Dirikian (an English-based language,) the official language of the realm.
Science, philosophy, and defence are the main concerns of the socialist Dirikian goverment. Its citizens are divided, de facto, into three classes: the Intellectual Elites, the Aristocratic Military and, the foundation of most societies, the Appreciated Workers. Of course, as an advance, though disorganized, society, one is not really born into their class and have mostly free reign over their destinies. A "mostly" is a necessary insert, because all healthy citizens serve four years of mandatory military service and after that service until the age of fifty, these citizens can be called back into military service in the event of a national emergency.

My territory
Civilization Name: Alliance of Vampad
Number of Planets: ~500 Core worlds, ~10,000 Colony worlds, ~3,000 Agriworlds, ~4,000 Industrial worlds, ~1,500 Mining worlds, ~400 Fortress worlds, ~100 Ordanance/Regional Depot worlds, ~1500 Unexplored/Uninhabited worlds. ~21,000 total
Government Head: Chief of State/President Ben Keeler
Population: Approximately 500 trillion sapients.
Currency: Vampad Credit
Languages: Vampad Basic, Chiss, Wookiee, Bothan and Selkath.
Bio: Originally consisting of the Core Worlds, the Alliance of Vampad was oficially formed into a Federal Republic of planets when a number of worlds agreed to accept common currency, trade laws and languages. The Core worlds consisted primarily of humans, chiss, bothans and wookiees. The capital world of the Alliance was chosen to be Vampad, the homeworld of the humans.
The Chiss and Humans, ever militaristic, officially formed the Alliance Defence Force and consisted of the bulk of the personnel. The Bothans were primarily the bureaucrats of the newly formed government and the wookiees served best as workers and builders. Even so, it was not a rarity to find either species in any other role. This was a time of relative peace and prosperity between planets and species.
The invention of faster than light speed allowed the Alliance to scout unknown areas of space and set up trade hyperpace routes to other planets and systems. The Alliance had gradually grown into an impressive 100 member worlds, when a race unknown to the Alliance began conquering small planets on the fringes of Alliance territory.
The race of aliens called the Selkath felt that their territories were being encroached upon, and called for an all-out war against the Alliance. This forced the Alliance to put all they had into building warships and improving existing technologies. After 5 years of war and billions of deaths later, the Selkath and the Alliance formed a peace treaty and found a way to co-exist. The war brought a great cost to the economies of many worlds.
The Selkath were slowly integrated into the Alliance and over the next 100 years, the Alliance expanded ever out into the galaxy, taking a foothold on a large number of colony worlds, forming impressive shipyards, mining worlds and industrial worlds. This boom greatly improved the economy of the Alliance, as countless jobs were created and new worlds were settled.
The Alliance has continued much like this ever since.

Normally when ever I make a name for a race, I use that as a template for future names of the race. They all follow a certain syntax or something. For example, the admiral I have has a name Hayao. His name structure has a heavy breathe in the first syllable and a stressed vowel sound. That is how I got the second name of his navigator, Yaocha. I reversed the order but kept the basic structure. Stressed vowel sound of the "ao", hard consanant sounds of the "ch". See with that I can make other names like the following:
Katarao
Bachaokai (adding an "ai" stressed vowel and the hard "k")
This language is somewhat based on a mixture of Japanese hard syllables and Chinese stressed vowels.
And Zambistan, thanx for the name generator. That should help with the Nahuatl side of the other RP, however, I also use Taino Native American language for most of the words used (All of those words are existing words in either the Taino [Puerto Rican] Language or the Nahuatl Language). This gen should help me.

The only other real way they could be beaten is if their vast numberas are faced with numerically superior forces, which is acutally quite likely as they are not known for sending out their entire fleets for conquest, save if they make a concentrated effort against another great power of the galaxy.
...Or I could hide in isolation. I think if I could convince this Order and a few other nations that Ramio is 'bad' and my cause is 'good' I might be able to ride out a Ramio-Dirik war by the skin of my teeth.
And as for technology, I think that, as a nation where engineers and scientists are celebirties, Dirik might be able to realize the weakness in said technology and exploit it before the planet Dirik is glassed. ...Maybe...though, realizing how quickly most powers react to change, it seems unlikely given Dirik's decentralization. Therefore, I'm probably screwed for technology without encountering Ethernal tech before said hypothetical conflict.

I kinda have to agree with Azaha here. This "Ethereal Tech > any and all others" thing is kinda getting annoying for those nations (ie mine) that have been quite devoted to science and military but at a drastic price (ie centralization, military strength, territory, etc.)
I can understand that ancients tend to have powerful technology, but it usually comes with a drawback like those listed above. I'd say over dependence on such technology as an example, but it doesn't seem quite equal still. It'd be like saying the britsh were far too dependent on gunpowder during the Zulu wars.

To I wanted to say Eternal tech is the best because it is was made by people who existed for billions of years, but as you proably remember the drawback to using Eternal tech for war is that tends to either cause the user to be literally consumed by the device, Zamb will face it, or an addiction to using it, think the healing device of the ancients from Stargate if you have watched as it was made for a people of an entirely different kind from people of another construction as they only assumed their appearnce and tech tends to rejects people after a few uses which is the real reason which has kept the older nations from already dominating the galaxy. They have acutally been quite limited in growth due to the Ramion being very conservative and the Order not having any real reason except in the field of fast ships and setting up a teleportation system across their space which took them many millions of years, think Stargates except with a few in built safety features which on the other hand make them not good for moving armies through for example, see as this hurts me more then any invading force.
By the way I do understand your point and let us discuss this as equals in saying as I personally think let us say that due to your encounter with more ancient and advanced cultures out their you are able to come into your own in rapid time due to your people's nack for tech and science. Or you could just trade with the people and do what the Japs did with Western tech and make improvements on it.
Well, if you think this is not good enough, which I personally think may need to still be more one sided towards myself as I wrote it and I personally think it is more favoring me still.
I addressed that addicted thing already in the Zulu example. Somehow I doubt any Brits were complaining that they were way too dependent on industrial technology while they mowed down thousands of leather clad warriors.
Having technology reject the user eventually is somewhat good for us non-eternals, but with nations that large against nations as small as most of us, I think it matters a bit less than it should. Though, it could lead to a nice turn-around as the Ramio are forced into a retreat because of defective weapons.
Though I could assimilate eternal technology into Dirikian, it would seem somewhat...demeaning to my nation. It would be like saying that the Dirikians weren't smart enough and were forced to use Order handouts and stolen artifacts. This may seem a bit whiny a complaint, but I guess I'm trying to say I want to keep my people's national identity in my military.

Yet, to state the Ramio basically reversed engineered Eternal tech, which resulted in them having good weapons, but no where near the orginal abilities of the design. As well, the Ramio are not really adaptable in tech terms, save when it comes to genetics as that is the only field that they have acutally advanced on their own in.
As for your tech it seems you have been isolated for a number of years and have not come to the level of the greater powers so I have to say you either have to advance due to what you observe, not stealing but analzying the menas and by it achieve the advance tech level or you can basically copy other peoples tech secretly and then redesign it for your own gain.
As long as we stand a chance and aren't instantly beaten back.
While I relize you're bigger in the RP, I don't accept that the technology alone will beat me.
I'd imagine that my "Rogue Eteneral" wouldn't just be pulling on my nation's leg and saying he was one, without knowing something about them or their technology. Which leads onto we might have anti eternal, immune weapons laying around in case we ever have to fight the most prominent force in the galaxy right now.

The plans though are quite good and are producded by the experinced Ramio augments whom make them, it is just up to the Ramio warriors to follow them to the letter which only happens around one percent of the time so you can get them by superior organization, but to say the rogue Eternal could just be an ex-Imperial Ramio who was exiled and which would then give a great deal of insight and a good footing if you ever battled the Ramio in terms of tech.
The only great tech difference that the Ramio will have is in genetics and otherwise you proabably will be able to beat them with either superior organization and stragtegy or just a slightly greater number of ships.
To say there is not anti-Eteneral tech specfically, but just as Eternal tech is energy it can be countered by an eqaul or greater amount of Energy in the form of a shield or even an beam which targets their lasers is quite plausible.
Well, my nation here isn't exactly the kind that spams ships. 81% of my budget goes to defense, so there is going to be highly specialized, highly powerful, and highly motivated soldiers and sailors.

Of course.
And I got the 81% off of NStracker. It's my real nations economy that I imported over here.

Yet, to note what will be the standard currency for the galaxy?
I'd imagine there isn't one, just like there isn't one in the real world. Just exchange rates.

Sure, but I won't use it.
Some nations might feel that a unified system will inpede on their soveriegnty. Again, just like the real world. And some currencies wouldn't be able to compare to a universal one.

Maybe people just like to rile against that self-serving sense of superiority, eh?
"Stronger currencies" indeed
