II. Brief Overveiw
The Great Empire of Kewen, summerised in three words, they would be "Militant Space Librarians" with a overwhelming mental and physical compulsion to learn
they scour the galaxy in peaceful, and not so peaceful waves seeking to learn some say this is the Kewen way of trying to achive the Secrect of Life
even immortality, but few realise the Kewen already know the secrect of life, and have mostly eternal youth(still can be killed), The secrect of life is
knowldge they simply want more.
A peaceful race by nature, if not provoked or bored.The Kewen stretch across many starsystems which they call home, nine to be exact,
four of them are major Kewen presences three being large but not overwhelming one is a fledgling settlement and the last is a fortress system
the only system outside of the Kewens natural Nebula.
Most Kewen systems barr one, lie in a vast purple nebula which is very thick, it was a major hinderance to kewen exploration as it is FTLi but some
natural phenomenon, for many a million years have the kewen tried to get past it, all technological advances stalled in the pursiut or freedom
thus giving a race which is almost a few dozen millennia old, very very low techbase, it was only recently after a Kostemetsian expedition that the kewen began to
explore the stars, making up for lost time, 39% of Civillian starcraft of kewen origin, can be found across the galaxy scouting, along with military exploration
groups.
In religious terms, Kewen has no offical, or unoffical religion, just the single minded determination to explore seek and learn, which is enforced by the
strength of a whole race. One thing the kewen can be seen doing, if you are ever that lucky to actually find one of these planets is a Seed Planet
other racing dub them "spawning pools" which is in a way, kind of true, but if you dig deeper you would find a almost feveratical devotion to said planet
as, the pools that create the bodies of the Kewen are actually part of a much larger being, one that has only been glimpsed once by a Setulan and Xiscipian
force, only known as "Mother". Its intentions unknown and capabilities not recorded it is fundamentally the mother of the kewen race, birthing Kewen by the
millions it tunnels through a planets crust, where is slowly eats and devours the whole planet from the inside, using the core for warmth and magma as a
heater, it eventually becomes the planet. Only one full and complete "assimilation" of a planet has ever happened, and that is the Homeplanet of the Kewen
Affectionatlycalled by kewen Ssssesshliation, or to a non-kewen's tounge, which is the closest a translation can get "Home sweet home".
*possibly more to come*
III. Political / Social System and Governments
The Inner workings of the kewen empire, are pretty simple, the longer you have lived, the more positions open up for you to apply to, consequently, the more you have learnt and the more you know is basically a Kewens job application.
As you climb the ranks of the kewen Government, and Social groupings you progressivly find older, more intelligent and knowledgeful kewen, where as at the opposite end of the scale you find the younger, less experianced, and eager Kewen.
The Government of kewen, isnt a democracy its a dictatorship of sorts, a willing dictatorship if one looks, all Kewen follow the HighSeer, who has the largest amount of knowledge out of the whole kewen race, the government system follows.
HighSeer - Complete control over kewen, able to do anything.
Council of Twelve - Name suggests, a group of 12 advisiors to the Highseer, no power whatso ever, but they can overrule and overthrow the current leader if 75% of the population agrees to his removal. elected to position based on actions not knowledge, only kewen position to do so. Currently, under the orders of the current Highseer, the Co12 has minor powers, and is allowed to introduce consitutions and laws unless overruled by the Highseer.
SectorSeer's - Name suggests, bows only to the HighSeer, or a majority ruling from the Council of twelve, there are 5 Kewen sectors, and there are currently five sector leaders each second only to the Highseer in terms of power, and knowlede which to a kewen is the same thing.
Provincal Seer - Currently there are 25 provinces, five provinces to a sector, but only 22 Provincal seers, as three have perished over the course of four hundred years, and a applicant has yet to arrive. Bows down to both the SS and the HS along with majority ruling from the Council of twelve.
District and Planatary Seers - As the naem suggests, each planet oversee's itself following guidlines set by the positions above it, and each planet is divided into 54 Zones or Districts which a District Seer, is again in supreme control unless a majority vote by district inhabitants or interfearnce from position aboves countermands there order.
IV. Systems and Planets of note and not much note.
The Kewen lay claim, and occupy Nine systems, which they maintain mostly heaby presences it, along with a whole host of uninhabited or unimportant systems which number in the tens and twenties, which hold within Preindustrial worlds, barren worlds and asteriod belts.
Ssssesshliation : Translated into Galatic Basic: Home sweet Home.
The Home system of the kewen, and one of the most foritifed, with a ring of 36 Defense stations on the outskirts of the system, each holding its own fleet of around about 50-100 ships, they keep the system secuce, trade by no means its restricted and many thousands of civllians pass though the system each day.
There are Seven planets in the system, One of which is a spawling metropolisis, which is the Kewen Homeplanet, the most defended planet in all Kewen space with orbital batteries and ground to orbit weaponry, plantary sheild grids and much more secrect and devious weaponry, its nammed after the system Ssssesshliation Prime.
Ssssesshliation Secondus, is a gasgiant, with four floating cities around it, which lay home to refineries and a popular resort for kewen to relax.
Killamajero, Named after a mountain found on a pre-industrial world, it is a rouge planet trapped it the gravity well of the star Ssssesshliation, A fairly large planet, it is Kewens Biggest shipyard, capable of churing out whole crusies and battlefleets, also home to KHW Industries, producing civillian starships for the last fourty years.
the other four systems, are a mix of colonys of not much worth.
Sepsis: Home to four planets, An Artificial system by kewen standards, which was a huge feat of engineering as there are two suns in this system, orbiting the four planets, the system is home to a whole grid of solar collectors.
Salaris: A Nine planet system, most of the planets in this system are pocketmarked by the craters of the asteriod collisions, since kewen arrival there hasnt been a new crater in ages, and this is a heavyily industrial sector, churing out goods and materials.
Sasi: A Four planet System, there isnt much of note in this planatary system, although kewen planners are working to change this by building something that has not been build before, the largest hotel ever, stretching th whole system in a project that wil undertake a few dozen years, Kewen Designers are planning to turn the system and its wonderful natural parks into a galaxy resort.
Selusis: Seven systems ring this particular star, this system is odd in the fact it has no Kewen Colonys, defenses or settlements, what makes it odd is that fact its a weapons testing grounds, and nearly every single planet in this system is a scorched wasteland of radioactivity and cracked crusts. One planet has been reportandly shattered and qoute "Fixed with Trin-tape"
Septis: A recently aqquried system, currently undergoing colonisation and construction on two of its four planets, its remaining two planets are both gasgiants with many a moon, and cities are being planned.
Systis: A Heavily Guarded System, home to several pre-industrial races and planets, which the kewen use as a vacation of sorts, several trading bases are established in this system and various tours are avaible.
Sopmos: The only system of kewen origin to lie outside the nebula belt, second only to Ssssesshliation in terms of defenses, fully half of the kewen Fleet is station at this system at any given time in its massive docks and many space stations.
Sylis:
