Races and Goverments

There are five Main Races that inhabit the known universe, and they have been warring for many centuries. Constantly fighting for military might, and Universal Superiority, many have lost their lives.

= Coruscean Race =



The Corusceans. Self-righteous, meddling, pompous and tiresome, or virile liberalists and defenders of the free world. Every being has a different opinion on the Corusc Federation, it just all depends from which side you view them from. For many, it is the land of oppurtunity, and hope, where any dream can become a reality. The Corusceans have and aways will remain strong believers in free will and human rights, despite numerous setbacks in their long history.

It has been said that, once you have seen the Phrexian Avenue in Phrexia you've seen it all. True, the view is spectacular, but if there's one thing you can never see in its entirety, it is the Corusc Federation. You travel its length and breadth, but wherever you go, you will always see something new and exciting, even when you visit the same place again. Corusc society is in a constant state of flux, vigorous, vibrant and progressiveness.

Economy and Military
Economy consists is a liberal market-driven one.

Military is large in numbers, yet their technology only matches but does not surpass its enemies.

= The Xavians =



Always a deeply religious people, religion remains of great importance to every Xavians, a fervour which at various times has been responsible both for great good and great evil. Shortly after discovering the ability to travel space at great speeds and distances, they began to expand their realm at the expense of neighbouring states. The nations they conquered were enslaved, a practice justified by their religion. For awhile, the Xavians had enslaved every nation and race they encountered, and slavery became an essential part of society. This had, of course, tainted their relations with other races, especially the individualistic Corusceans.

Eventually after much warring the Xavians passed new laws allowing for their slaves to be free. They could only be free if they enlisted in the army or worked off their slavery. If they paid off their slavery they would still have to work for their former masters as the only job they could get.

Economy and Military
Economy based on strong slave exporting, and manual labor.

Military Involving strong and durable warships, with a balanced amount of escort ships orbiting border worlds.

= Orphasian Race =



For the Orphasians, the most important thing in life is to be able to take care of yourself on your own, and although kin and family play an important role in their society, they prefer identifying themselves by the clan or tribe to which they belong. A clan can have any number of people in it, and its size is largely dictated by the main activity of its members. Most specialize in one area of activity. While those who live on a planet can focus on agricultural or industrial activity, others who travel around the universe concentrate on trading, pirating, and suchlike.

The Actual Orphasian Republic is vast and thinly spread, its economy based on massive trading operations relating to agricultural goods. The military is somewhat small but strong and extremely mobile. They use their advanced warping technology, stolen from the Tyranes State, to advance their few fleets around their Republic.

Economy and Military
Economy consists of massive trading operations as well as subsistent farming

Military involving smaller, faster, stronger fleets capable of warping to scebes of battle instead of having one massive fleet orbiting a possible strike zone.

= Tyranes State =



The most elusive and mysterious of all the five races, the Tyrans number only a fraction of any of their neighbors, but their technological superiority makes them powerful beyond all proportion.

Although definitely human, the Tyrans often seem to the other races as though they are not, the reason being that they embraced genetic engineering as the way to solve any and all the problems whith the human race. Over the thousands of years since, the Tyrans have experimented with every kind of genetic modification their technology allowed. They have become a race of Cyborgs, and the only thing keeping them from lashing out at all who oppose them is their self-installed restraint chips, which keep the agressive levels inside them to a minimum.

Their superior technology has enabled them to infiltrate the other races with bugging devices and sensors, giving them unrivalled access to information, which they use to maintain their strong position among the races. The Tyrans sell a lot of their advanced technology equipment to the other races and it is this, more than anything else, which keeps the others at bay.

Economy and Military
Economy consists of Large Military manufacturing as well as Cybernetic implants and Robotics Engineering.

Military is Strong and dominating, using technology that surpasses every other race.

= Vyctorian Confederacy =



A Confederacy built on corporate capitalism, the Vyctorian Confederacy is run by a few mega-corporations which divide the space between them, controlling and ruling every aspect of society. Each corporation is made up of thousands of smaller companies, ranging from industrial companies to law firms. All land and real estate is owned by a company which leases it to the citizens, and government and policing are also handled by independent companies.

Confederate society is steeped in military tradition. As a people, its members had to fight a long and bloody war to gain their independence, and even had to surrender their home planet to their hated enemies, the Corusceans. It was at this time that the corporations established themselves as the driving force behind creating and maintaining the new Confederation. Even if the Vyctorians have not engaged in any dramatic battles for many decades, they still strive to be at the cutting edge of military technology and their vessels, weapons and fighting methods are inferior to none but the enigmatic Tyrans.

Economy and Military
Economy Based on various exporting and importing operations, as well as Military manufacturing

Military is large and strong, with cutting edge technology and ingenous tacticions.
