Federation of Communes (TUE)

**Dev. Status** | Conceptual

The **Federation of Communes** or simply **Communes** is a major faction of the Concordiatverse within "The Universal Emergency" multiverse. An egalitarian democratic society that has reached the post-scarcity era and attained a level of development that the "father of communism" Karl Marx would label his dream coming true; every being no matter the gender, place of origin, race or place in the society is considered equal, with no need of hoarding wealth as everyone has everything he needs. Communes are considered the "good guys" in the universe, protecting other races that has yet to get to their level while they protect them against the Harbos monsters and Cannei tyrannic matriarchs, who are threatening this part of the universe, opening a new theatre of conflict on another planet with low-developed bipedal race. Communes have sended one of their task forces led by Alaranii-Meela (literally Fleet-Leader) Emiyra Reenya Aloros to protect the indigenous species of "humans", even if they themselves see all alien lifforms as hostiles.

## Member Races

* **Zeelich**
* **Mellvilans** - Large quadrupedal aquatic mammals who are reminiscent of whales, Mellvilans are one of the most important members of the Communes, bringing with them their genius-level intellect and intelligence with their huge brains. Despite their size they are fully capable of fast movement on the surface as much as they can swim underwater, and their star ships are some of the toughest to crack in this part of the universe. Their primary weapons of choice of their ground and naval forces are ion beam cannons and ionizing torpedoes.
* **Tarasians** - Peaceful race of explorers, Tarasians looked like to humans as a combination of a horse and dolphin when they first seen them. Tarasians explored the universe until they met the Harbos, soon after a war broke out that destroyed their homeworld and forced Tarasians to flee. For this reason they seeked help and found it with the Zeelich's Communes. Their principles for peace remained intact, but Tarasians now realize that despite their efforts some races simply cannot coeexist with others, so they must be fought. Their greatest contribution is large-scale holographic imaging, able to create illusionary starships.
* Razarim - Four-armed felines
* **Mawari & Rissi** - Two feline species originating from the same home world. Both are hunters and masters of this profession, but aside of that they are well-disciplined and trained warriors, serving in the space naval gunnery and marine positions, where they use their fast reflexes to catch their enemies off-guard and blow them up. Mawari and Rissi are both members of the Communes, but due to past relations aren't always fond of one another. Off-springs of both races are considered inferior and looked down, living hard lives which they see in the fold of other member races who are more acceptive and forgiving.
* Snapping turtle warriors
* Energy beings
* Floating jellyfish
* Cuszor - Plant-like aliens
* "Baphometians" - Goat-like, deer-antlered humanoid farmers
* Fire Crystal Golems -
* **Crozan** - Religious

### Allied Races

* **Ngirai Supreme Commander Nrommullo** - The sole survivor of the extermination attempt on his ancient and powerful race, Nrommullo is determined to bring the galaxy, and later the universe, into the state of peace and equality, stopping all threats posed by the violent empires. To that end he is in full control of the titan warship *the Inveterate Mroroummo*, the most powerful vessel in the present that can single-handedly take down a whole fleet without any serious damage. Nrommullo's look is enough to terrify his opponents, and his reputation makes even Canneo matriarchs and Harbos leaders cautious when Nrommullo is in the equation. While not a direct member of the Communes as he considers himself a more developed being, Nrommullo see Zeelich and the Communes as allies, and often assists them if they call for his aid.
* **Gelphyms** - A large insectoid race reminiscent of bumblebees, the Gelphyms are the economic experts, bankers and moneymakers with strongest economy that helps the Communes afloat. This is done thanks to the miraculous medicine they create by combining their own nectar with healing herbs and produce from other races into a viscous liquid that accelerates the healing procedure of any living matter exposed to it. Having acquired a un-breakable monopoly on the fluid's production, the Gelphyms act as the primary distributors in the universe. Despite this enormous contribution to the Communes's war effort, only a tiny few of Gelphyms ever get near the front lines, generally preferring to sit safely on their worlds and make the money.
* **Kmeolyghi** - Working ants
* "Lepidoterrans" - Sprightly hedonist butterfly humanoids
