Alright, so basically in the future there are two factions, the High Federation of Heirosoloa, and the Grand Heirosoloan Empire.
The High Federation (the HF) has taken over most of the Grand Empire's (the GE) worlds by superior numbers. The Grand Empire, which is more tech. advanced, has thrown off the Federation's occupation of their home world and is trying to reclaim most of their planets back. Both sides are relying on other galactic powers to help their side win the war. In the end, the GE will indeed win back most of it's planet's, and the factions will be deadlocked.
That will be the end of it.
Sooo, feel free to sign up. I'll get the sheet up soon.

A little bit of information on the factions;

[The High Federation of Heirosoloa]
-Originally based on colonizing more planets
-Current # of controlled planets; 18
-Military is focused on superior armor and strength, but less technologically advanced
-Larger army
-Focused on solely improving projectiles, allowing for limited strategies
-Elite military unit is the 'Paladins'

[The Grand Heirosoloan Empie]
-Originally based on being more tech advanced to defend their current planets
-Current # of controlled planets; 3
-Military is focused on high speed and with larger range of weaponry, more technologically advanced
-Strong orbital defenses
-Wide variety of different types of weaponry allowing flexibility
-Elite military unit is the 'Valkyries'

[Signing Up]

-The nation part isn't really required, but helps with RPing. Keep it generally vague as to not restrict you-

Name of Nation/Galactic Power;
Supported Faction;
Militaristic Focus; -see above-
Size of Empire; -Large/Medium/Small will do-
-Estimated # of controlled planets; -Just make up a number-

I'd like to stamp my interest in this on here thank you :D

Alright, no problem :]

I'll join too, but my faction is a little odd since its empire is based in another galaxy. The support they would send would be smaller then most and resupplying will be tougher for them. They will be supporting The High Federation of Heirosoloa.

Well, since the HF already has the upper hand the size wouldn't matter much. But don't you have FTL travel?

Yup, in fact like most of my factions tech it is and based off of Mass Effect tech. In the game you use something called a Mass Relay to get around. There are two kinds; the first one can connect to any Mass Relay, but has less range then the other kind of Mass Relay. The second kind can only get you from point A to point B. I am using the second kind since the distance between galaxies are so great it is the only kind that could cross the distance.

Due to how the Mass Relays work the distance does not really matter when it comes to speed. It takes the same amount of time to get from points A to B as it takes to get from points A to D, but the number of ships that can use it safely at once is complicated. Plus my faction, while interested in the conflict, is not entirely committed to the idea of fighting (that can change though).

I'm slightly confused, but I get the general idea.
And I believe it's factions, not fractions.

Please excuse me while I hit myself with a frying pan for making such a stupid mistake. I can't believe I missed that. Thanks.

(Haha, either way you did it twice in two seperate posts Cephei :L)

Name of Nation/Galactic Power; Metropolitan-Regional Association Of The Phale A'Theins
Supported Faction; Oppertunistically Neutral
Militaristic Focus; Espionage, Surprise Attack Runs,
Size of Empire; -Large/Medium/Small will do- Single World
-Estimated # of controlled planets; -Just make up a number- None (?)

Just a small OOC, the GE that you're using could give some confusion on the forums, that you may be speaking for the Galactic Empire alliance, or myself. Not that I have a problem with you using the terminology, but I would request that in posts you make it clear you are not the Galactic Empire.

You know, branding and all that :-P

Your going to send jedi lawyers after him aren't you?

To A Utopian Soviet Union, stop pointing legitimately and justly at my mistakes! :p Also, I have been thinking about what you said in the profile conversation thingy(?) and I have made changes so that the Reapers are more similar to their game counterparts. Now there is just more of them like in the game.

Name of Nation/Galactic Power: Citadel Council (Puppet government)
Supported Faction: The High Federation of Heirosoloa
Militaristic Focus: At first reconnaissance and then moving onto standard long range engagements with hostile forces, might send a dreadnought or two
Size of Empire; -Large, but in a different galaxy
-Estimated # of controlled planets: About 100, but this counts all planets and only a handful (like 5-12) are habitable not counting homeworlds <-- Just want to make clear not one of these planets are in the galaxy this RP takes place in.

No, I did not go on the game and count each planet on the galaxy map. I am not that obsessed... Stop looking at me like that.

Jedi lawyers, haha, how amusing.

Not being able to use Galactic Alliance? Hmm, how unreasonable,after all, galactic and alliance are common words when considering governmental organisations.

And to point out the obvious, it's already been used so Mr Lucas is going to be sending his Sith lawyers after you and Heirosoloa! :P As well as probably a quarter of the other players on here who lift concepts convieniently from other places :L For that matter the originators of the English language are going t sue me just for this post!

@ Unified Sith; Oh shucks.
Well then, I'll generally refrain from using the acronyms.
@Utopian; Well then. My Cone paralegals will deal with them :]
@Mu Cephei; -Continues to look at you like that-


I'll be happy with one more person joining.

Could you provide more information on the political ideology of each faction?

EDIT: I may join, if one of the factions suitably matches Verniian political outlook. Though it wouldn't be the Imperium as a whole deciding to toss in support (its rather insular) but rather smaller political factions within the Imperium (real-life analogy would be if Blackwater operated for a 527 group).


Name of Nation/Galactic Power; Ministry of Frontier Security
Supported Faction; Grand Empire
Militaristic Focus; Surprise attacks, small unit engagements, supply of weapons and technology.
Size of Empire; 5 systems
-Estimated # of controlled planets; 6 planets, several hundred habitats with a population of 1 million+

Well, the High Federation is a theocracy ruled by an elite unit of priests who claim to be messengers from God. There is a council of high religious figures instead of a pope.
That faction is pretty controlling. There is a secret police to stop people from spreading dissent, an inquisition is always going on to stop one heretical religion or another, and any declaration of war against the Grand Empire is referred to as a 'crusade.'

The Grand Empire is fairly liberal, except in the fact that it has one supreme ruler, the High Lord Minister.

Thanks. The Grand Empire fits much better with Verniian politics, plus has higher profit potential in this campaign most likely.

Just a bit of advice if you haven't done it yet:

You should create a list of systems that each side controls, and then write up at least basic details for all of them (though more important systems should get more details). Things like number of planets + moons, asteroid belts, major stations or defenses, fleet units, etc.

Thanks :]
But for the war, or for my factbook, which is after the war?

Both. You can just modify it for later when needed (since most likely all you'd need to do is change who owns what, or remove things that were destroyed).

It'll be helpful for your players in this as well, though start out with only revealing the very basics about each system (things that would be public knowledge or really easy to find out IC), and then reveal things like defenses and fleet units as they're scouted out by us (unless one of your factions chooses to reveal what it knows about the enemy to us).

A fleet list for yourself would also be useful to have, like number of units per class and where they are assigned, with who commands each group.

I'll muster a fleet list tomorrow, just in case anyone needs to know what I am bringing for whatever reason.

Name of Nation/Galactic Power;
Supported Faction; Neutral
Militaristic Focus; small skrimishes
Size of Empire; Small
-Estimated # of controlled planets; 2

First planet is named Vatari
2nd is a colony named Joseph 2, after President Joseph

Military:
52 outdated cruisers
5 outdated battleships
67 outdated scouts

Goverment:
President Joseph
Vice President Stalon

Technology: Outdated

Alright then...

I'll go and make the IC thread ^.^
And a fleet list.
Aaand a list of systems.

What is a "Cone paralegals"?

I'm not sure if a fleet or planet list really applies to me, seeing as no one here has encountered me and thus that knowledge is off the records; also im not intending to send fleets in, if they do it will be the result of diplomatic talks; and that will occour later on. I'll probably end up having talks with both factions since my people aren't naive enough to be taken in by one side of the story.

I might be interested in participating on the political side of things, probably leaning towards GE. If this is still open.

The Holy Jingoistic Federation of Vojvodina-Nihon would be the nation used; its military is small and primarily defensive, preferring electronic warfare over missiles. It is small, controlling one star system with most of the population concentrated on a single planet -- which is also split between V-N and another nation, although the other nation has no space travel and is economically dependent on V-N. Six planets in the system are inhabited, along with one or two failed experiments at offsystem colonization.

If I limit myself to character RPs the character may be an ethnic Vojvodina-Nihonian hailing from an independent world elsewhere in the galaxy rather than from V-N itself. Any military forces I do bring in will be pretty small.

Utopian, I think he means as OoC information.
And Vojvodina, it is still open [More people, all though more cluttered, means a better chance of the survival of the thread. And my threads rarely survive >.>], and I guess you can only use Character RP. Might be complicated, but I have trust in someone with as good as grammar as you have. :]
Now I actually will go and post the IC thread ^.^

the NERV conglomerate supports the Grand Heirosoloan Empire
we will supply them with a space gate so our forces can enter into the solar system instantly.
we do have FTL capability.
we are located outside the galaxy of civil war.
thus the need for the space gate

IC thread is indeed up, check it out here. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=14523429#post14523429) or on the front page.

Edit;
I'm sorry NERV, but the thread is closed. Vojvodina was the last one.
And you should have FTL, because not having it in a FT RP is a bit troublesome. You won't be able to do much.

Got it. I'm going out now, but I'll tag the IC thread, and make the decision once the whole post is up.

we DO have FTL please read!

also we plead you to reconsider!
OOC:please let me join!

I'm sorry, but the thread is closed.
And I know this may sound rude, but the exclamation points, accidental smiley, various grammar issues, and lack of knowledge that you don't need to use 'OoC' tags in an 'OoC' thread are not helping your chances of being accepted.
This may indeed sound elitist, and it is, but people are more likely to make exceptions for literate, experienced looking RPers than people who make the above errors.
Maybe if you were more experienced, and weren't begging.
Begging is not a good way to go.
If you were more experienced and understood RPing and II better, I would let you join.

Currently posting for another thread, but will post for this one soon.

Could you give me a name of a planet of the high federation so i can jump in with a kind of plot?

*flinches* ouch...

thanks for the constructive criticism
i do not take offense to your words in the case of the accidental smile i saw it and couldn't be bothered to sort it out! :).
i normally sort out such mistakes

Sure. I'm going to conjure up a basic list of names, then add climates and stuff to them later.

In order of relation to homeworld;

Imperial Planets;
-italics means still under Federation rule-
-homeworlds in bold-

-Danewha
-Tanwha
-Shalswha
-Balego
-Concuritine
-Salidar 3
-Salidar 5
-Salidar 1
-Talibo
-Retrebo
-Comquat
-Halis
-Toto
-Tota
-Totee


Federation planets;
-italics means under attack, or targeted for next attack-
-homeworlds in bold-
-captured Imperial planets are underlined-

-Roma
-Inquisitor 4
-Inquisitor 6
-Holiness
-Holia
-Petersburg
-Saint
-Heaven
-Tanwha
-Shalswha

-Talibo
-Retrebo
-Comquat
-Halis
-Toto
-Tota
-Totee

Sounds interesting, if this is still going I could see the SCF getting evolved to support the Grand Empire, not so much for any reason other than two dead locked nations are more unstable than one giant nation controlling both terratories.

Name of Nation/Galactic Power: The Sertian Empire/Sertian Colonial Forces
Supported Faction: Grand Empire
Militaristic Focus: Strong armor and staying power, powerful but short range plasma canons. Slow FTL but virtually undetectable so has limited first strike capabilities.
Size of Empire: Large but extragalactic, the SCF is an independent military force which operates in the galaxy to destabilize the galactic politics and to lay the ground works for a later invasion.
-Estimated Number of Controlled Planets: None.


Edit: Nevermind, saw it closed. Still looks like a good idea and best of luck on it. :3

I've arranged my entry by way of a Vojvodina-Nihonian freighter, responding to a request by pro-Imperial rebels on Tanwha for weapons. If that seems contrived, I can think of something else.

Thanks Sertian :]

And Vojvodina, it's perfectly fine.
Although, when you said savages, here:

She could just see the lights come on in their eyes when she said "violence". Savages.

You were referring to the crew, right?
-waits for more posts-

I'll be responding in the thread later today in a few hours or so. I'll be similar to Vojvodina, good old corporate capitalists taking advantage of blood shed and tears for a few credits.

Is the thread up then?

Yep, I posted it on the front page of this thread, as well as a page back :]

Could you write up more information here about the Grand Empire? Culture, politics, economy, etc.

So I'm guessing this is dead then.
