Ethikk

The Ethikks are a race of humanoid-esque creatues inhabiting Ethicropolis. Violent zealots dedicated to purging "biocrime" and "ethiccrime", and will stop at nothing to wipe anything out in the way of their "ethical" crusade. Responsible for the invasions of Crakli, Genocius, Imperia, Fleet, Unmadnei, and Aartis.
== Race Origin ==
Originating from the planet Ethicropolis (a planetwide city in a state of Dystopia) the Ethikk race concerns itself with the eradication of ethics criminals, aiming to subjugate the galaxy through its dominion system. A long and cataclysmic war saw their society form into a violent regime revolving around a fanatical devotion to ending "biocrime" and "ethiccrime" by any means necessary. They hold suzerainty over a variety of races who act as slave labour. They exclusively use WWI equipment with modern enhancements, and utilise an advanced form of phosgene for planetary eradication, although their methods have advanced during their quest for dominance.
== Race Attributes ==
They are entirely comprised of antimatter, being contained within a humanoid carapace, which if pierced causes the antimatter to dissipate and the being held in a state of eternal torture. They are extremely gifted sociologists, creating a self-perpetuating system of patriotic subservience to a great crusade across the stars and their leader, Cicero Imperare.
==System of Government==
The Ethics Department has three subsections within it. These factions within the Department constantly vie for dominance in the polycratic systems of the Department, with plots and political intrigue hindering the Ethikk in pursuing their common goal.
Name 	Function 	
Department General 	The Department General is responsible for the smooth running of the Ethics Department in everyday matters, being the main body of the Ethics Department. It is concerned with military operations, governance of Ethikk territories, and foreign policy. 	
Science Department 	The Science Department ensures scientific progression in the military and domestic sphere. Responsible for designing planet killing superweapons, the Purificacionem Class Flagship, and indomitable planetary shields, the Science department ensures the Ethikk have a technological edge. 	
Bureaucratic Department	The Bureaucratic Department is responsible for the allocation of war materials, rations, and fuel across Department space. In absence of a free market economy, the need for armies of bureaucrats plan and legislate for the needs of the Department, and ratify and record the actions of the Department General.	
Ethica Inquisitoria 	The Ethica Inquisitoria is the shadowy fifth column of the Ethics Department. With its tendrils stemming from District 8 on the Ethicropolis, the Inquistoria has eyes across Department space and beyond. Torture and information extraction is their modus operandi. 	
==Society and Culture==
Ethikk society is based around three key tenets: Fanaticism, militarism, and hierarchy. Their societal order reflects this. The Ethikk do not believe in anything other than their own allegedly superior beliefs, denying any other system of political order than the Ethicist system. It espouses polycratic government united under a strong leader, fanatically adhering to their interpretation of ethics and how best to imprint them on the wider galaxy.
There is no civilian class; all live under a harsh military stratocracy from their inception in the great forge pits which churn out Ethikk by the millions. Troopers exist under captains, captains under commanders, and commanders under the lord commander, though between these ranks lie various distinctions and sub-hierarchies.
Militarily, the Ethikk focus on a strong navy and professional planetary force in order to achieve effective power projection. Ethikk dreadnoughts are imposing and large, bastions housing specialised battalions with their own traditions and tactics loom over the landscape, their capital complexes are as deep as they are tall, and torture blocks are the stuff of nightmares.
