Cultaris Empire

The Flag of the Cultaris Empire

The Cultaris Empire was a smaller empire located in the centered south of the Milkyway Galaxy and were the closest neighbouring space empire to Earth until their extinction in the middle 2300's. The Cultaris are the reason the ISEOE could even exist, they helped save humanity from utter destruction and are believed to of been intertwined with humanity for longer then we could have known.

## Information

### The Aliens

The Cultaris were blue humanoid looking creatures with longer arms, longer legs and a bigger head. They also possessed six digit hands and feet, and they had a noticeable smile that seemed almost forced. These aliens were the most human-looking of any we've ever seen. They stood at an average of 5'8 - 6ft.

### Holdings

The Cultaris were not expansionist and only held around twenty star systems, but because of this they could focus on being a tight-knit group and they developed some of the most advanced technology, for peacetime anyway. They were located in the centered south of the Milkyway, being close to Sol and Earth.

### Currency

The Cultaris currency was the old Cosmos Empire's currency, the Cosur, which was worth 0.53 Qirsh back then but is know worth 57.32 Qirsh. Many mistakenly believe the Cultaris currency was Qirsh as Qirsh is a Cosmosian word, however, Cosur is the Cosmosian for profit, hence why it is used, meanwhile Qirsh is the word for glory.

## History

### Old History

The Cultaris Empire was formed from a peaceful revolt, they were a colony of the Cosmos Empire but as the influence fell, they broke off without a fight (under the protection of the Ciermsium Imperium) and took just twenty systems. They would finally get to develop in peace and make amazing new finds in technology.

### Humans and the Cultaris

There are many theories going around that the Cultaris Aliens were the source behind strange UAP's and UFOs spotted on Earth, including activities at Area 51 and even certain supernatural hotspots like Skinwalker Ranch. We will likely never know the truth but it seems almost certain this is the case, and if it is then we were intertwined long before the war that would take place.

### Human Assistance

After WWIII humanity was devastated, billions dead and the planet was in a nuclear fallout. When the Cultaris saw they were horrified and immediately rushed to communicate. We didn't know how to communicate so we used lights, morse code, anyway for them to know and lights worked. We then would finally learn each others languages a short-time after. Eventually using Cultaris technology we evolved, we were no longer a simple tier-1 civilisation as the Cultaris called us but a future empire that would dominate the stars, and they were right to that degree. We took the word Qirsh as our currency to thank them when the Unity Act came in.

Their technology was advanced, they had found a way to generate breathable atmospheres, atmospheres capable of heating up a planet or cooling them and overall advanced heavi

### The War

The Cultaris-Human War began when a Cultaris spaceship destroyed a spacecraft with 53 people onboard. People quickly rallied against the Cultaris and humanity declared its first interstellar war. The war would take six years. Both sides had no experience with interstellar warfare and the Cultaris had only developed peacetime technology as they assumed they would never be attacked because of trade, but humanity weren't a local space empire, they just wanted to grow. The final battle would take place in 2352 and the war would end with around 2 million deaths and humanity annexed all lands and the Cultaris fled to other areas of the galaxy.
