Azaeria
26-09-2007, 04:45
The year is 2024, various men from collective countries have come together, through rebellion and other means, to form their own collective nation, this nation, the Empire of Azaeria, is founded on the principles of strict government, high technological achievement, and high morale standards.
As time progressed this nation's technology equally paralleled, and the leaders came to realize that why should they squabble over petty land or resource disputes, a whole frontier awaits them in the skies, amongst the starts.
So the project began and in 2060 HOPE was completed, HOPE was the first Orbital Colony constructed by the Azaerians, it was set into orbit on September 17th, 2041. Through the following few years people have been lifted onto HOPE using a space elevator, it is hoped by 2050, that all of Azaeria's 1.008 Billion people, would be living on HOPE and the remaining terran land could be used for weapons testing or given to neighboring allies.
Upon HOPE projects began on a massive scale, the large colony divided up into 5 wings (Technological, Agricultural, Industrial/Military, Religious, and Imperial) stands upon the ring of the world in a glorious light, the large craft contains all the needs to support a peoples (except water, still has to be shipped in through various means) for eternity. Nearby asteroids provide the metals needed for research and development, and through this Azaerians have prospered.
The Nation of Azaeria's current leader, Emperor Alexander IV (also known as Duke Alexander), was chosen through a strict trial of process, every time the former Emperor passes on, the leader of each wing (minus Imperial) attempt to vie for the throne, and in the end the people choose one, and only one, to rule them until death, as is the luck it has not happened yet, but its time is nearing, and many fear that Azaeria's turmoil may be too much.
The current ruling Dukes of each wing are as follows.
-Duke Rallion Forthright, of the Industrial Sector, a large man in stature, he is known for his oversized prosthetic arm capable of tearing a man in two.
-Duke Kalendros Origai, of the Agricultural Sector, a seemingly stealthy man, he is rarely seen, but his acts and good will make him loved amongst his people.
-The Techlord, never been seen by anyone outside his personal circle, but has been in power since HOPE's first initiation, rumors are that he is slowly combining himself with machinery to become immortal.
-The Arbiter, religious leader of Azaeria, many believe this divine warrior to be sent from god to rule them one day, he guides his students and pupils to the glory of God and teaches them all that is just and holy.
-Emperor Alexander IV, aged well beyond his years, he sits on his throne brooding dark thoughts at times, but many believe his intentions are righteous, he fears that upon his death, Azaeria will fall apart, and it has progressed him even further towards this inevitability.
Azaeria's technology is paramount to its survival, its solar panels are known for their amazing ability to absorb 99% of sunlight and its various forms as raw energy and using prisms and other stones able to amplify the light to be even more powerful, their water supply is 60% recycled, providing fresh water, at a cost, as much of it needs imported from the planet itself.
The Military is the most advanced portion of Azaeria, as the first orbital colony, it feels it is the nation's right to help oversee its Terran allies, and provide them with top of the line research, weaponry, and tactical information, ranging from experimental railguns, to the ultimate in armor piercing bullets.
As is such, it is easy for Alexander to get wrapped up in foreign affairs, and he lavishly graces his allies with many gifts.
[This story is open ended from your nations point of view, feel free to establish trade, alliances, declarations of war, terrorist attacks on Azaeria at will, the story will continue as such, just try to avoid blowing the whole thing up ;) Note: the year is 2064, allowing you to have slightly PMT, but nothing insane, basic experimental weaponry is fine but battlecruisers and the like are a bit unlikely ;)]
General Concept (Unfinished):

Heres the laid out restrictions
-Spacecraft must be under under 250 ft long, as building such an object would require either advanced construction techniques or building in space (The modern spaceshuttle is 150 ft long counting launcher)
-Weaponry on the spacecraft must avoid lasers at all cost, mass ejectors (guns and the like modified) are fine, Railguns using magnets are fine, rockets are fine (if you can find a way to propel them)
-Space Fleets really don't exist, control systems are still not advanced enough to allow spacecraft to move like modern fighters, meaning space dogfighting is nearly impossible and building an entire warfleet without anyone noticing is kind of hard.
-Aliens are not allowed, try to avoid bringing them into this, trying to form a Terran RP here =p
-If you wish you may RP a citizen in the city itself, become something important (besides Duke or Emperor, maybe a terrorist? That'd be amusing to read)
-The planet is not named, in order to cause a large amount of diversity, the people on the planet will be referred to as Terrans
-Don't blow up the whole colony, it took a lot of work to build, small destruction by terrorists or attacks by other countries are fine, if we go back and forth with a war story, I might be fine with a whole wing being taken over.
-Trade is fine, weapon requests are fine, the colony needs lots of water and someone has to sell it =p
-Have fun
