The Aroxion

United as one people, the Aroxion are a strong sentient race native to Aroxios. Loss is not a common word used in their affairs. Strength, Technology, and Honor guide them.
 
== Philosophy ==
=== Warfare ===
Aroxion are a proud warrior society. They do not solve most of their conflicts by waging war, but their army is very powerful and can get a job done when words cannot. Most of the technological advancements go into making better war technology. The best accomplishment made from the Aroxion war technology has to be the Imperial Capital Ship.
=== Religion ===
The majority of Aroxion do not follow a religion. Their old enemy, the Thu'zin are religious zealots who just wanted to steal the Aroxion resources and say "SPODE WILLS IT" as their excuse. Why would the Aroxion want to worship a god that wills strife and hardships upon them?
== Origin ==
=== Star System ===
Aroxion hail from Aroxios, third planet from the star Brotes. The order of planets, from closest to farthest from Brotes, are as followed: Melax, Audesin, Aroxios, moon Kadonale, and Oentistid.
=== Aroxios ===
==== Life ====
The race is named after their great planet of Aroxios. It is a lush oasis with green land, crimson water and sky. The temperature is usually a comfortable 70 degrees F. Traveling to the planet will yield quite a safari of animals, from pearly skinned to shaggy haired, razor sharp jaws to long, soft tails. The plant life consists of a mix of small to large sized fungi and green trees.
==== Xaxolite ====
A unique crystalline mineral to planet Aroxios, it has been the center of many wars. It is a red color and incredibly powerful. In large, concentrated amounts, visible particles of energy can be seen and a soft, harmonious buzz can be heard. The Aroxion government regulates the planets' stockpile of it through trade and mining it themselves.
"When we found out how to utilize the power this substance held, we were astonished. Five ounces of the stuff can power half of our world's cities for a year. It can also power a spaceship for ten years." -Aroxioth, leader of the Aroxion people
== Description ==
The Aroxion life span is around 170 years. Male Aroxion are black and tinted red (eyes and head), and they are naturally muscular. Female Aroxion are black also but tinted cyan instead. Females have bigger eyes than the males and have fleshy eyelash-like appendages growing out above their eyes. They are petite and agile. Unlike many creatures, Aroxion have 3 sections of their brains, made obvious by the three separate sections of their heads. Their skin is similar to human skin except it is tougher, shinier, and completely hairless. The Aroxion diet consists of only meat since they are carnivores. Since they don't actually have mouths they must ingest food by absorbing it through many pores on the bottom half of their head. These pores both secrete an acidic substance to break down the structure of the meat and let material pass back through into the body, where the liquid meat then travels into their stomach. Aroxion communicate with each other telepathically, but they are able to make sounds other races can understand. They reproduce by having the male mate with the female, fertilizing an egg. The mother only lays one egg, which takes a mere 3 months to develop from a fetus to a baby. The baby is ready to hatch when their heads poke through the eggshell. The change in temperature and pressure on the head indicates to the baby that it is time break out of the egg. Babies who can't get out of the egg in a timely fashion are assisted.
== History ==
The Aroxion have developed very fast and have achieved deep space travel within 100,000 years of their birth.
=== Symbol ===
Their symbol is a circle with three triangles, and a larger white silhouette on the outside. The circle represents planet Aroxios. The 3 triangles represent their guiding principles of Strength, Technology, and Honor.
 
=== The Old Enemy ===
When the Aroxion had evolved into the space stage, they were not quick to make allies. The reason for this was because of their first encounter with an alien race. This race was the Thu'zin. They are a race of white, squid-like beings who entered Aroxios' atmosphere so they could loot and and destroy the rich Xaxolite caverns within. Xaxolite is the incredibly powerful source of energy unique to Aroxios that the Thu'zin and Aroxion had waged war over. The spark that lit the Aroxion-Thu'zin War happened when the Thu'zin struck a major mine called Crimso. This was the main mine the Aroxion extracted Xaxolite from. They looted all of the Xaxolite from within and tried to escape with it. The Aroxion were not going to take this laying down, so they stormed the cave, attempting to destroy every last one of the Thu'zin inside. Some got away with some Xaxolite, but most were brutally killed. The ones that got away learned the secrets of the Xaxolite and attempted to get more from the planet, but the Aroxion were in defensive mode, ready for another attack. They thwarted the next effort on their second mine, Coxax'loq. After the attempted invasion of the second major mine, the Aroxion went on to wage war with the Thu'zin, storming their home planet. The war lasted around 4 years until the Thu'zin finally surrendered, wanting a peace treaty with the Aroxion. The Aroxion complied to the treaty. They are at peace, but the Aroxion has stated they will never ally with the Thu'zin.
=== Meeting the Miir ===
While on an expedition to colonize a purple spice planet, a captain of the Aroxion people flew into the Arinan star system. There was a purple spice planet in this system that the Aroxion named Kharek. The captain flew down to the planet only to discover it was already inhabited. The captain was upset about this, but he did not want to blow the race out of existence, and he couldn't once the captain realized who this race was. The race the Aroxion captain found referred to itself as the Miir. Both races were wary in making contact with each other, but when they did they started talking. The spark of potential friendship emerged when the two representatives saw each others advanced weapons.The Miir believed that only the strongest should be allowed to live in the universe. The Aroxion don't exactly believe that, and what they learned about the Peacekeepers from the Miir was not something they agreed with either, so the Aroxion proposed an alliance with just the Miir, not their faction of 'the Warlords' or the Peacekeepers. The Miir accepted and now the two races are in a help-me/help-you alliance. The Aroxion have learned many war tactics from The Miir and vice versa, so they have a solid alliance. With their new allies, the Aroxion people felt safe for a while, in a period without war. 
=== Margan: First Contact ===
The time of peace was short lived, as about a year later an alien ship entered Aroxios' atmosphere. Contact was attempted with the mysterious race, but they would not speak to the Aroxion. They sought the same thing as the Thu'zin; the Aroxios resources. There was already a force ready to defend the spot the aliens picked for extraction; Coxax'loq mine. The force had been put in place after the fall of Crimso mine. Soldiers came down from the alien ship, wielding fierce weapons that shot out napalm. They stated that they were part of the Red Rose Dynasty of the Margan Empire and that they saught all of the Xaxolite mineral for their spaceships. They then open fired on the force. The current conflict within the Aroxion Empire is the Margan empire trying to extract all of the Xaxolite from Aroxios.
== Culture ==
The people vote in leaders and on social issues. Don't get them wrong though, the Aroxion leaders are not pushovers. After the time of breastfeeding, children are put on rigorous exercise programs so they will stay healthy and strong. The government usually kills off mutants (either being a physical or mental mutant) since they are seen as an inconvenience to the peoples' funds. Towns on the planet of Aroxios usually have sentinels patrolling them and always have city gates in between each section of town. Their security is phenomenal. Glory is earned on the battlefield. Soldiers are equal to the officials in Aroxion society. There are really only four social classes: Leaders, officials, soldiers, and regulars. The Leaders are obviously the leaders of the people. Officials are the people that carry out the leader's orders. The soldiers are the ones who give their lives for the people's safety. The regulars are just the average Aroxion living an average life, but are not treated with disrespect just because they are the lowest in social rank.
== Military ==
=== Units ===
==== Starblazer ====
The basic foot soldier of the army. They stray from the government issued exercise program to the even more military version. They train in 1.5x planet Aroxios' gravity to promote greater muscle growth, development, and endurance. They are clad in lightweight armor. Their weapons consists of a medium powered pulse rifle and a small energy knife for CQC. Always male.
==== Starchaser ====
Basic melee unit. Their armor is light but reinforced to protect them against gunfire. They wear special masks that enhance their hearing and vision. Always male.
==== Astral ====
These units are used as assassins. The armor they wear consists of light weight metal and cloth. They have goggles that when put on can let the Astral see through walls and pick up locations of targets around them. Every Astral has a long cloak on. Always female.
==== Lightyear ====
These units carry a rifle that can be either a sniper rifle or a plain rifle. They have jet packs to propel them out of hectic situations and are used in long range combat situations. Always female.
==== Galactic Destructor ====
Heavy infantry. They wield energy claws and missile launchers. The missile launchers are attached to the energy claws so the Destructor won't have to swing around clunky weapons.
==== Comet ====
These units are a new soldier of the Aroxion army. They were issued into combat shortly after the invasion of the Margan. They wield dual liquid nitrogen cannons used to combat the Margan's fire based weapons. The armor they wear is lightweight but is designed specifically to fully protect against fire. Against a Margan, Aroxion Comets are tough to take down.
==== Elite Warrior ====
The best of the best Starblazers, Starchasers, and Galactic Destructors can become Elite Warriors. The requirement to achieve this rank used to be that the soldier must have personally slain 250 Thu'zin soldiers, but with the involvement of the Margan and other lethal races, the rank was loosened to include the personal slaying of any 250 members of races who are enemies to the Aroxion. They wield only two lightning swords to honor the Aroxion people.
=== Miscellaneous Units ===
==== Sentinel ====
The police force of the Aroxion.
==== Scientists ====
Responsible for thinking up ideas for technology and usually give orders for non-military space missions.
==== Engineer ====
The builders of Aroxion technology.
== Warfare ==
In space battles, members of the Aroxion army are usually in gunships or waiting to be deployed from a capital ship. The worst weakness the Aroxion have is their headstrong nature. Aroxion are incredibly intelligent in regards to creating advanced technology, but they love to jump into the battle with guns blazing as opposed to thinking out the situation and striking effectively, which was the cause of one of their biggest losses: The destruction of Crimso Mine.
== Vehicles ==
=== Land ===
==== Conqueror ====
The Aroxion tank. It is a powerful, light weight tank that hovers above the ground for faster travel. It has three cannons, one main and two secondary. The main cannon shoots a powerful laser round that is used to destroy buildings and other vehicles. The two secondary cannons are more like machine guns, they are two laser turrets that shoot at rapid speeds.
==== Wrath ====
These vehicles are basically hover bikes, but are pretty large. They are the vehicles used by infantry to get across distances fast in a heated situation, where ships cannot land to pick them up. They are armed with laser turrets and a single laser cannon on the front. 
=== Water ===
(to be added)
=== Air ===
(to be added)
=== Space ===
All space vehicles of the Aroxion are equipped with weapons and three red Xaxolite-powered cores.
==== Imperial Capital Ship ====
The most powerful space vehicle in the Aroxion Fleet; The Imperial Capital Ship. It is a massive ship that is capable of traveling to star systems in the blink of an eye using warping technology. They are the most heavily armed and armored ships the Aroxion possess. It is equipped with a planetary surface destruction laser and nuclear arms that are deployed from the same opening in the ship.
==== Honor ====
These ships are the second largest in the Aroxion fleet. They are commonly seen in close proximity to Imperial Capital Ships since the Imperials always have 3 Honors escorting them, but are also used to destroy large targets. The most common targets for these ships are other Capital Ships and Orbiting Cities of enemies. They posses both laser and ballistic ammunition. The massive laser cannon is located in the center of the front of the ship. Laser ammo is used when a target has a shield that repels ballistics (usually energy shields which cannot be seen). Ballistic ammo is used when the ship is vulnerable to physical ammo. The large shells fired from ballistic cannons tear through the hull of whatever they are targeting. Pilots usually aim for the cockpit of a ship, since even if the shells don't take out the pilots, it will cause the inside of the ship to be vulnerable to the vacuum of space, sucking out all who are inside the open space and leaving them to die.
==== Victory ====
A further developed model of the old starship Journey, Victory is a starship used for personal travel which can fit a pilot and 3 passengers. They are armed with medium powered weaponry and very fast engines, capable of traveling to different planets in a short amount of time.
