Ghuv Empire
|
|
Description:
|
The Ghuv Empire is the largest in the Central System, built upon millenia of agressive conquest and ruthless government. Rivals always with the Alikan Empire and Ka Republic, the Ghuvs are contained for now. Democracy is an unknown word to this race, for they have always been lead by one being known only as Ghuv. Thousands of wars have shaped the Empire's miltary into a fearsome force, with millions of ships patrolling the stars. Since the Ghuv's are mainly on the offensive, their ships rely on vast firepower to overwhelm any opposition before great amounts of damage is done, for their shields are lacking. Economically, the Ghuv Empire is solid since they own such a large area of the Central System - almost a full fifth. The population of Ghuv's though is not proportional to the amount of planets since they are an extremely slow breeding race. Aliens are not common in Ghuv settlements, but their trade ports tend to buzz with offworlders. It is rumoured that they wish to expand the Empire into the very core of the system so as to sieze control of a large swathe of trade lanes. Since this is neutral territory, other races resist any movement there ferociously. Their arrogant stance has made many enemies, and more recently a new threat has emerged from within the Ghuv Empire itself. A terrorist organisation known as the Red Leaf have carried out attacks on the homeworld of Ghuv Planetia itself, the first attacks there in millenia. For the most part though, peace reigns throughout their region for now, and there have been no major wars for over a decade. |

Alikan Empire
|
|
Description:
|
The Alikan Empire strives for scientific knowledge above all else, and is therefore not usually an aggressor. However, its military ships are far from inferior, having the heaviest hulls and shielding in the system. Excellent defenders, their plasma weapon technology is fully capable of punching through enemy ships, though they are inferior to some of the other races' weapons. Ruled since their beginning by a being known as Alie, they have been the traditional adversary of the Ghuv Empire. Recent conflicts with surrounding neighbours such as the KA Republic threaten to bring new enemies knocking at their doors, and the security of the Alie Empire looks uncertain. Perhaps the best defence is offence for them... |

KA Republic
|
|
Description:
|
The KA Republic is rumoured to have been founded by The Maker himself during his first invasion of the Central System. After his defeat, the KA Republic managed to create a solid foundation while the remaining races rebuilt. Now, they seem to be continuing The Maker's work by stirring up trouble and unrest. KA tactics tend to be very simple - swarm the enemy. Cheap, small and agile ships take fire while their larger ships pummel away at the opposition. Effective, but can be costly. |

Kalaan Imperium
|
|
Description:
|
The Kalaan Imperium was a lesser empire for over a millennium, barely keeping from being snuffed out by the warlike Ghuvs, or forcefully integrated into the KA Republic. However, recent events have allowed to sudden economic and military growth for the Kalaans, and has spurred them into the limelight of the Central System. Now they face dangers from two fronts. The KAs are demanding they join the coalition against Ghuv and Alie, yet they have always feared the two eldest races. And with the emergence of another power, who knows which direction they will take. |

Porfolonian Empire
|
|
Description:
|
Following the collapse of the government of the Old Empire, the centuries of turmoil in their space has finally been stopped. The re-emergence of the Old Empire has brought attention back to them, yet they are no longer the power they once were. A powerful new faction also emerged from the anarchy, and has established itself in a large portion of Old Empire space. Now, civil war is on the horizon again, as both sides vie for territory. How will this new power stand against the troubles ahead? |

Draconian Empire
|
|
Description:
|
The Draconian empire was formed in a distant galaxy long ago. The birth of the empire gave rise to several wars over territory and resources, which forced the rapid development of the advanced ships and technology that lead the empire to victory. Several centuries later, 'something' caused the empire to begin a large scales evacuation of their home galaxy. The exact reason for this is as of yet, unknown. What is known is that most of the Draconian population simply uprooted their colonies and began heading for our galaxy. For now only the fastest ships have arrived but it is expected that many more will arrive soon and try to claim territory for themselves. Their main advantage is the speed of their ships, which can often get in and out of a system, before any defence has arrived. |

Soularian Sept
|
|
Description:
|
The Soularian are a small race of psychics from the rim worlds of the galaxy, they only ventured into the central galaxy after the collapse of the Old Empire. The lack of resources in the rim worlds means that all there ships designs are fighters. After coming into the central galaxy they discovered due to their psychic powers they can easily coordinate very large fleets of fighters to their advantage. The abundance of resources in the central galaxies just means larger fleets to them. |
