Ship Classification

Much like naval vessels from centuries past, modern earth starships are categorized based on their size and capabilities for tactical planning purposes.

## Classification Styles

### Size-Class

Size classes are single-letter codes, with E representing anything shorter than 50 meters, D for the 50 - 100 meter range, C for the 100 - 200 meter range, B for the 200 - 300 meter range, A for the 300 - 500 meter range, S for vessels up to 750 meters, and X for vessels any larger.

### Type-Class

A type-class refers to a vessel's capabilities and tactical purpose.

#### Starfighter

The smallest of these is a starfighter. A small craft, usually less than twenty meters, carried by the dozens by larger vessels and capable of flight in both air and space. They are most often used in planetary invasions, are most often relatively lightly armed, controlled by either one or two pilots, and are not capable of FTL transit.

## Old

Mainly used in the HSG to classify ships, this system came about in the years following the colonization of Kyandor.

Single or two person fighter craft are not considered as part of this classification system.

## Military Classes

### Size Class

The size of a ship is the first part of a designation.

 C
 B
 A
 S
 X
 Z

### Loadout

The capabilities of a ship is the middle part of a designation. Each has an initial that makes up the total name of the class.

### Overall Length

The last part of a vessel's name is its length in meters rounded to the nearest whole meter.

For example:

1. DL - 82 (Size: D / Loadout: Light Armor / Length: 82 Meters)
2. BLGI - 286 (Size: B / Loadout Light Armor, Gunship, Infiltrator / Length: 286 Meters)
3. DLT - 34 (Size: D / Loadout: Light Armor, Transport / Length: 34 Meters)
4. XCGHP - 825 (Size: X / Loadout: Carrier, Gunship, Heavy Armor, Pioneer / Length: 825 Meters)

## Non-Military Classes

Many non-military classifications exist, for example, the GPCv - 28 (which stands for "General Purpose Civilian - 28 Meters") is a civilian model of the DLT-34 (Size D Light Transport - 34 Meters). For non-standardized, privately manufactured vessels, the classification depends on the producer.

### *Liveship* Class

The Liveship classification was reserved exclusively for extremely large or high-capacity vessels intended for the colonization of new worlds intended to be full colonies. Where a normal colony ship could be sent with tens of thousands of people to a small moon with little water in order to mine it, a liveship would be sent to large, lush planets with hundreds of thousands of colonists.
The Cataclysm: Amazon Jungle

**The Cataclysm: Amazon Jungle** is the ninteenth season of the fictional reality competition series *The Cataclysm*. Taking place in the Peruvian region of the Amazon, nine men and nine women will compete in the ultimate test of strength, endurance, and intelligence in order to be the "last one standing" and claim the $2,000,000 prize.

Contestant Dominic Moss would later return to compete on *The Cataclysm: Vietnam*, where he finished in 8th place. Moss returned again to compete on *The Ultimate Cataclysm*.

## Format

* **Exemption Challenge:**The Cataclysm's immunity challenge. The winners of this challenge are exempt from elimination.
* **Commander:** Prior to an exemption challenge during the faction stage, each team must select a member to be the team captain. This player becomes the Commander for that challenge. The Commander of the winning faction gets to nominate three players from the opposite team to face the voting ballot.
* **Ballot:**The Cataclysm's elimination round. Those nominated to face the ballot risk being eliminated.
* **Medallions:**Two medallions are eligible to use in the game: the **Resurrection Medallion** and the **Chaos Medallion**. Contestants must solve clues to be able to find these medallions.

## New Features and Twists

* **Fire Medallion:** This medallion is removed from the game and is not eligible to be used starting this season.
* **Additional Faction:** For the first time since *Maluku Islands*, the contestants are drafted between three factions instead of the initial two. This change occurs on Episode 4.
* **Double Elimination:** Following the Exemption Challenge of Episode 4, the winning faction is guaranteed safety from a double elimination. Both losing factions face the ballot and each will eliminate a player.

Callia

10% Silicates

Trace Others

Callia is the second planet in the Lambda system, a hot ocean world composed of two-thirds water. Observations from Demet originally led the planet's inhabitants to the conclusion that it was an ice giant like Icari, though much denser. The discovery of the planet's two small moons, likely captured from the system's inner Morning Belt, changed their hypothesis, leading them to the true nature of Callia.

## Old

Callia is, by mass, 64% water with a density that keeps the water from evaporating in its relatively close third position orbit from its sun. Often called a gas dwarf due to its appearance, having bands of water vapor clouds circling it at all times, appearig blue due to the ocean and atmosphere scattering blue light into them

Days are 21.3 earth days long, years are 277 days. Its atmosphere is 5.8 times as dense.

Orbital eccentricity is .02 with an incline of 1.4 degrees.

## Moons

Several small temporary moons in eccentric orbits.

Two have become stable enough to tidally lock themselves.

### Callia 1

Very small, only 2% of the earth's moon in size, it orbits Callia in 1.46 days, or 102k kilomiters. It is 96% rock, but cobalt is prevalent in its brown-blue surface regolith.

### Callia 2

The mass of this asteroid is one eight hundred thousandth of the moon. It orbits in 2.7 days and is 100 percent iron.

## Seasons and Climate

The circulation of water keeps the surface temperature relatively stable at around 90 degrees C.
The Cataclysm: Costa Rica

**The Cataclysm: Costa Rica** is the fifteenth season of the fictional reality competition series *The Cataclysm*. Ten men and ten women compete in the ultimate test of strength, endurance, and intelligence in order to be the "last one standing" and claim the $2,000,000 prize.

This season takes place in the Manuel Antonio National Park of Costa Rica.

Contestant Shanna Miller received a second chance on the following season, *The Cataclysm: Visayas*. Miller would return for the third time along with winner Michael O'Connor to appear on *The Cataclysm: Immortals - Champions Vs. Avengers*. Ayumi Chigusa would also return for *The Cataclysm: Vietnam*, where she was crowned the winner in a unanimous vote. Derek Lara later returned to compete on both *The Cataclysm XXV* and *The Ultimate Cataclysm*.

## Format

* **Exemption Challenge:**The Cataclysm's immunity challenge. The winner(s) of this challenge is exempt from elimination.
* **Commander:** Prior to an exemption challenge during the faction stage, each team must select a member to be the team captain. This player becomes the Commander for that challenge.

Unferia System

Please note, this page contains outdated information, and requires rewriting.

Very little is currently known about the Unferia system. The name literally translates to "Killer Sphere" in the native language of its one species.

It is known that the star (On the X and Y axis) exists in the "dark" areas of the Titan Arm of the Milky Way galaxy.

The star is about three solar masses, but is many times larger due to its age.

It has 5 planets. And 1 known dwarf planet.

## Planets

As previously stated, five planets are known to be in orbit around it.

### Manun and Femun

The original homes of the now tribal race living in the system. They were a binary pair of planets only 0.54 AU from the star until being separated by the gravity of Unferia. When the star burst into its evolved red giant state, both desert worlds became massive orbs of silicate glass in a matter of days. Most never made it away.

### UF II

A gas giant with 5 moons. 4 of the 5 are small asteroids or tiny moons barely able to achieve hydrostatic equilibrium. The last is where most of the indigenous race migrated to after their star evolved. It is unique in that it has a very large moon of its own, sometimes called a sub-moon.

### UF III

A second gas giant. Its orbit is highly inclined and it has no known moons.

### UF IV

If the natives weren't obsessed with war, and didn't think anything nearby belonged to them, this world would be suitable for humans. It only has surface water in shallow lakes and clouds. However, its only moon has a dense breathable atmosphere and surface water, both of which could be brought back to the planet and used there.

### UF dI

A dwarf planet known for extreme inclination and a retrograde orbit.

## Climate

Most places deemed "Habitable" by the natives would kill humans with temperatures north of 150 degrees fahrenheit, or around 75 celsius.

UF IV could support earth life, but the spacefaring portion of the natives defend the system fiercely.

## Life

A race who call themselves Bomure, undocumented by the rest of the galaxy as A: The star is too hot for anyone to want to look there. And B: Any race I follow currently (Humans and Near-Humans) Have not progressed to that point.

Depending on their home they have varying levels of advancement.

The ones that stayed have regressed into the stone ages, often resorting to cannibalism for food and using sharpened sticks as weapons.

The ones that left for the moons of the next planet over are roughly on their 1800s again.

The ones that left entirely are in their planetary colonization, finding new homes by the nearby stars.
RingStation 1

The RingStation 1, more commonly known as RS1, was a prototype for artificial gravity created by V-Res in the orbit of Demet. The first step in a project to create a Ringworld, a similar concept with a massive ring with an atmosphere and livable habitats on its inner surface with gravity simulated through rotation.

The station was composed of a hollow square section approximately 20 wide by 10 feet tall. This was where the crew stayed to observe the effects of long term exposure in artificial gravity. This section was approximately 600 feet across. The stations power came from a 30 foot wide solar panel and backup generators stored at the bases of the 8 rods securing the panel to the station, known as spokes.

It also served as a dock for the *USV Brina* and *USV Akiven* during their construction. If necessary, their drives could be activated to move the station. This happened during the apex of the Mortu-Unem wars as it was moved to Altus with the help of the Elania, keeping the two prototype vessels safe.
Species Classification

As planets have different classifications to describe their characteristics, species' throughout the galaxy have been categorized as well.

## Biological Types

Typically, species are categorized according to similarities to earth life. In the rare case that they are not analogous to any earth life, they are given their own biotype.

 Avian
 Arthropods
 Piscine
 Plantoid
 Gelatinous
Yemun (Hybrid Mammal/Piscine)

## Technological Age

Named for their own of technological ages, both historical and theoretical, the technological development of the species can be described in broad terms. Please note that these ages apply best to a species that communicates and moves through "traditional" means.

### Classical Group

 Iron Age
 Medieval Age
 Renaissance Age

### Modern Group

###
Faries

While not actually Faries in the literal sense, that was the name assigned to them by the Ald.

The one to two inch tall, four winged, eight limbed insectoid beings tend to run things like a monarchy.

The color of their thin exoskeletons ranges from purple to yellow, with purple being considered "Royal" blue is "Noble" and greens to yellows are "Peasants."

Caution is required when dealing with them. Stories have been told of wanderers stumbling onto their nests and being devoured alive, bones and all. The survivors come back sometimes missing arms or pieces of flesh.

They are native to the eastern peninsula of Aldmis, the northwestern continent of Demet, specifically the True Holy Province and some parts of the New Ald Republic.
Normaa System

Normaa is a star to galactic spinward and coreward from Sol. it is a bright white star with seven planets, one of which is home to the Yemun.

## Planets

### Onae

Onae is a rocky world over two times as massive as earth, and over 90% metal. This, combined with a thick atmosphere and its proximity to the star gives it a very uncomfortable environment, with temperatures nearing 400 Celsius and a surface gravity of over 2 Gs.

### Averi

Averi is a water world with a thin atmosphere. it's surface is entirely composed of liquid water that extends down for miles.

### Enatu

Another ocean world, similar to Averi. Enatu's atmosphere is thicker than Averi's, causing it to reach temperatures averaging 110 Celsius. This causes seasonal vapor bands in its summer hemisphere.

### Onate

Onate is a small rocky planet that has a surface so dark, it actually prevented its discovery for a long time. It has a high axis of rotation, nearly 45 degrees.

It's surface temperature and low gravity have marked it as a site for possible habitation by the yemun.

### Yaart

Yaart is an earthlike habitable world that orbits Normaa. Read more about Yaart on the Yaart page.

### Ternas

Ternas is a massive ringed desert world with a thick nitrogen atmosphere. It is cold and dry, like Mars before it was terraformed. It has a handful of small moons orbiting both inside and outside its rings.

Ternas is a dark, cold world orbiting in 6th place. High gravity and temperatures averaging -110 degrees celsius are features of the planet.

### Pisita

A pale green gas giant at the edge of the system.
Genetic Control Center

Genetic Control Centers are cybernetic implants used by Humans in both interstellar states and independent colonies that are primarily used to adjust glandular activity, internal body pressures, and oxygen absorption rates to increase comfort levels of individuals no matter their immediate environment. In addition, they provide a number of services, such as passive genetic therapy to remove harmful mutations and genetic conditions, active antibiotic activity to remove malignant bacteria, and ease common maladies such as poor vision, colorblindness, menstrual cramps and bleeding, and poorly aligned teeth.

A secondary functionality is to allow a number of modifications to be made to the body, most often for aesthetic purposes such as a change to an individuals natural hair or eye color, but can be as extreme as a total physical change to resemble another being, including alien species, other humans of both the same and opposite sex, or simply whatever an individual wishes to look like. This is done in a medically induced coma in a microgravity environment to prevent gravity-based complications such as skeletal deformation that is too severe to be gently repaired by the GCC itself.

The final function, one added much later, was to take a snapshot of an individual's mental state for a later upload to an emulator platform or flash clone in a vegetative state upon death. A number of offers of this kind have been placed in the contracts for independent elements hired by the Orion Confederation who undertake hazardous missions. A notable example was the team sent by the Orion Confederation and Apsic Empire to deactivate the Demetian ATLAS v1.3, who were killed by a nuclear detonation and woke up in plain emulators.

### Other Equipment

B-Class Micrometeorite Deflector Array and Gravity Well Sensor

The Patsayev Class was designed on Joya for their royal navy in the role of infiltration and observation of hostile worlds, and to have the ability to defend themselves should their cover be blown. The vessel saw use in other roles as well, most often in ambushes and the defense of allied systems within the HSG.

The "rollbar" or "wing spoiler" on the ship's rear serves to maintain structural rigidity when using the experimental model of the Slipspace Drive.
The Andromeda Galaxy

Around the year 6435, the descendants of the original mappers of The Milky Way living in the New Sol system decided to restore their family's names by mapping another galaxy. Triangulum and Andromeda were chosen as candidates, but Andromeda made it through the decision making process due to its relative closeness and greater size. They preferred the challenge of a larger galaxy.

Retrieving the designs of the probe used on the milky way and producing nearly 20 times the amount almost bankrupted the twins, and were only barely able to afford the fuel for them to be sent to Andromeda.

When revealing their plans, they were met with ridicule from the government of the Solar Alliance and the HSG, but smaller independent systems like Shinkyo supported their project, and funded it as long as it took.

The probes were returned within 5 years, as opposed to 500 during the original Atlas Project. This was due in part to vastly improved JumpDrive technology and a larger amount of probes. In early 6445, the above map was compiled, confirming ancient suspicions of its width of nearly 220,000 light years and containing nearly 1,000,000,000,000 stars.

It was found to be far messier (pun intended) than the Milky Way was, like another galaxy had passed through it, destroying its spiral structure. Its southern arm still maintains some of it, but the core and north arm have been devastated.

## Important Locations

The map displayed a resolution nearly half that of the Milky Way, only 12,600 light years per sector as opposed to 5,900.

After the mapping, it was realized that the galaxy had not one supermassive black hole, but two.

* Andromeda A\* in J8, the primary black hole of the galaxy.
* Andromeda B\* in K8, the secondary black hole, nearly one-third the mass of the primary.
SKIN

A SKIN, or Stealth Kinetic and Induction Neutralizer, is a thin film applied to a nude body to be worn under clothes, armor or DCA.

Complex systems inside the film absorb and redirect energy downwards to the feet. Energies it deflects are heat, electrical and kinetic. Two variants exist.

1. Gloss black single use film that is applied and meant to be thrown away after one use.
2. A transparent permanent film. The only way to see it is to examine the users skin and notice the contact lines, small coppery stripes that blend in with the users skin tone. Usually reserved for military.
Bomure Occupied Stars

"Bomure Occupied Stars" is a blanket term that describes most of the star systems to Galactic Spinward from the HSG territories. The only thing the majority of them have in common is that they are occupied by the Bomure species.

Their iconography most often features a circle with two holes in it used to represent their home system and home planets, Manun and Femun.

## Subgroups

### "Civil" Worlds

The first major subgroup are the bomure that made first contact with the humans, controlling their home system, the Neyun system, and the Revun system. They identify themselves as the Civil Bomure Worlds.

Their leadership is elected for the most part, with only the world of Nefemun in the Unferia system using a dual system of a patriarchal military and matriarchal royal governance.

They were the source of the technology that was used to reverse engineer the amazingly advanced Blink Drive FTL System, however they had not yet discovered FTL communication as humans had through the use of entangled particles or tachyons.

Their method of communication over interstellar distances included thousands upon thousands of FTL probes with powerful emitter arrays that would make trips back and forth between inhabited systems, shortening the time delay between signals sent and received to mere months instead of thousands of years.

Their race's natural predisposition towards aggressiveness over territory led to a brief cold war upon their discovery that humans had colonized the planet that would become Clesti in the Rangel 3 system in the time it took them to plan the colonization. Their colony ship was downed by orbital defenses when it fired upon the planet's starport, and it crashed within range of a research black site on the planet run by Range-L Corp leading to the reverse engineering of their advanced drive technology.

### "Savage" Worlds

The savage worlds, as called by the "Civil" worlds, are worlds that do not submit to the authority of the bomure queen and admiralty of Nefemun.

Most often they are seen fighting amongst each other and striking out at other surrounding planets including the "Civil" worlds and the spinward HSG/Rangel colonies.

Human Synthetic Intelligence

The synth (Synthetic Intelligences) are not truly a race, but instead a sentient computer system. The original files are kept locked down, as once copied, the personality and identity changes.

Advanced synth are human in every right but their inorganic bodies. This allows them choice in their appearance and are the only ones that enjoy the same rights as an organic being would.

They are currently only found on richer worlds where they can be produced, as there is no system in place for issuing travel licenses to artificial beings. The same reason exists for why they are not allowed to fight in the military.
Main Timeline

This section begins when the humans arrive in the Kyandor system, maintaining their year count.

## 2925: New expansion age.

In 2925, the Earth humans arrived in the Kyandor system and set up cities on Kyandor II, also called Revant, New Terra, or New Earth. Soon after, ships were built and volunteers were gathered to explore nearby star systems. Half of the population regretted abandoning the rest of their kind, but they couldn't argue with the peace.

Most stars around Kyandor, itself being a red dwarf about 1136 light-years from Sol, were white-blue stars over 50 light-years away, or other dwarf stars. All but one. An unnamed L9 star system only 1.45 lightyears away, and nearly the exact mass of the sun.

Other ships were also sent, but the most interesting was the unnamed yellow dwarf star.

(See Lambda Timeline)
Magnetic Coil Weaponry

Magnetic Coil Weaponry (MCR) is a term used almost interchangeably with Rail gun. It was first used as a much less powerful model for personal arms, using coils instead of rails to create weaker magnetic fields.

## Development

One of the first was a commemorative 200th anniversary M1911 replica called the Model 2111. It was originally created by the US territories on Mars. It received so many pre-orders the company responsible for its production, Marauder Firearms, devoted an entire factory to its production during the first several months of its life.

The immense power created by a 9mm sized slug, the ammo that was used, moving at near mach 1 was too great for many to handle. This led to the addition of power settings being added later on.

The design was later replaced by the Model 2311 on the 500th annivesary which was an early Optic Beam Weapon.
Demetian Factions

The countries of Demet are mostly uniform. Unlike Earths nearly 200 countries, the people of Demet get along better with their own race than interracial interaction. This is not the cause of violence however, as the Unem seem to protect the other two races, The Prifeli and the Ald, against the other technological giant. The Saraph.

Demetian conflict is mainly fought between two factions. The Eastern Dominion and the Unem Territories, called the Mortu-Unem wars.

## Unem Territories

 Government

The Unem Territories are home to the most technologically advanced species in their solar system, the Unem.

The country is divided into 7 states, each with one major city. The elected leaders of each state form a council to decide laws and actions taken by the country as a whole.

The military (Or UTDN) is recognized even by Ald in the neighboring NAR to be the most lethal force on the planet. Though this reputation has faltered.

## True Holy Province

 Location
 Tech
 Demeanor
 Government

The True Holy Province is unique in that only the highest leader, the High Priest or Priestess, and their family know about the outside world and any land outside is seen as evil, or tainted. The Ald make their home here, and are the ones who named the continent "Aldmis" which means "Home of Ald" to them, as they were there first.

Nearly the entire population is extremely religious, believing in a set of 5 gods.

Their government is Theocratic, that is to accept a God or multiple Gods as the leader of the country. The High Priest/Priestess relays information to the people "Directly from the Gods themselves." In reality, they are advised by the Unem Territories and the Priest(ess) presents it as directions from the Gods.

## South True Holy Province

 Government

The South THP is a section of the THP that broke away after a short civil war over the economic classes system that existed in the old THP.

They established a system where every citizen was allowed to vote, leaving only small leadership position, and everyone was supplied with shelter and water by the state, and was employed and paid based on skill.

## New Ald Republic

 Government

Originally beginning as small colonies of Ald heretics outcast in separate directions but with assistance from the Unem, the small camps in the irradiated wastes east of the Holy Province formed into the New Ald Republic.

They keep a political neutral stance, attempting to keep away from the Mortu-Unem wars. This hasn't stopped a few people from venturing north or east to defend the Demetian Trade Province or enlisting in the UTDN.
Rukha

Rukha, a mining colony in Apsic space.

Trace Others

Nemesis (ARHS 152 IVc)

(+13 Minor Moons)

ARHS 152 IV, better known as Rukha, is the fourth planet in the Apsic Resourse Harvesting System No. 152. It is between the sizes of Earth and Mars, and is a target for terraformation and colonization by the Apsic Empire. Currently, it is used for mining heavy metals and ethylene and acetylene harvesting. Its name translates to Prosperity.

## Description

Rukha is a dry planet with just over 5% surface water coverage and very low cloud cover. Its incredibly dense atmosphere is primarily composed of carbon dioxide and methane, with sulfur dioxide, ethylene and acetylene each making up greater than 1% of the remainder. Its blue coloration comes from methane absorbing what little red light comes from its blue-white A-type sun.

Its moons are tiny, ranging from 0.5% and 0.7% of Rukha's mass, with each getting more massive as they get further from their host. They are composed of very similar materials to Rukha, and Nemesis features a tenuous atmosphere of sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide.

Its extreme axial tilt of over 65 degrees leads to vast differences in temperature from season to season, with the polar extremes either receiving no sunlight or constant sunlight for over eight Earth months at a time in their respective winters and summers.

A permanent settlements exist on the surface that serves to extract and purify the useful gasses in the planet's atmosphere for export, and to serve as hubs for various smaller temporary settlements that search for mineral markers left behind by survey drones. When the planet's surface has been relieved of its easily accessible resources, the planet will be terraformed.

## Terraformation

The terraformation of Rukha will require many things, including the siphoning or transformation of its atmosphere and lowering of its surface temperature, the addition of liquid water, and the seeding of planet and animal life. The end result would be a planet more Earth-like than any the Apsic Empire currently has any access to, leading to a likely population boom as individuals move families to start families on Rukha.

Phobos Supertether

The attatchment points of the Phobos Supertether.

The Phobos Supertether is a human megastructure built in the 2180s from high-strength, low-weight materials like titanium and poly(p-phenylene-2,6-benzobisoxazole), better known under the trademarked name of Zylon. Using Phobos as its anchor, the Phobos Supertether extends downwards into the Martian mesosphere and out the other side of Phobos, coming in at a total length of over 5.8 thousand kilometers.

Due to its anchor being one of Mars' moons, it shares its orbital period, making a full trip across Mars' equator once every 11.1 hours at a speed of over 1900 km/h.

The counterweight and base station at the far end was used to launch vessels and cargo throughout the Sol system without the use of expensive warp fuels in the earlier days of human interplanetary travel.

It was capable of reaching the outer solar system as well as the inner solar system far more easily than any Earthbound effort would have been, especially since an Earth space elevator was not technologically feasible at the time. This was also the best alternative available to Mars at the time due to the fact that Phobos's subsynchronous orbit would have interfered with efforts to create a Martian space elevator.

The destruction of Deimos led to the weakening of the upper cable, as pieces of the moon that had fallen into a lower orbit collided with the tether and its base station. This ultimately made it easier for the Earth military to sever the upper tether and cripple the Martian war effort early in the Interplanetary Civil War. The base station and its cable were launched into a higher orbit, where it remained for decades before it was salvaged for parts to be used in building its replacement.

While no longer as relevant with the advent of much cheaper FTL technologies, it is still the hub for sublight travel in the Sol system, and is vital for in-system commerce and vessels arriving and departing the Sol system. It is now used as the spaceport for the Deimos Transit Gate, which was placed in Deimos' former orbit and remains the most prominent entrance into the system as a whole.
Garrida

The **garrida** were found by human explorers in the Perseus arm of the Milky Way. In the midst of an industrial revolution, electrical power was just becoming widespread and "technology" was the word on their minds, with massive advancements in both civilian and military technology including early magazine-fed firearms, the internal combustion engine, early air travel, and growing urbanization gave much of the young a wide-eyed fascination for the future while older generations became stubborn and unwilling to accept these advances.

The arrival of humans at their homeworld Galla, the moon of a gas giant, was seen as a great boon to their civilization by most. Many of their people wanted to visit their territory and bring back ideas to continue their own advancement. This was not encouraged or dismissed, but they would not be given any blueprints or designs directly, only being allowed to consult with humans for correction of their scientific theories.

The division between human-obsessed progressives and hardline traditionalists caused tensions on their world to rise until a world war was started. A war that would not have occurred when it did had humans not made contact with them. The war was fought for a total of seven years during which the majority of their population was killed due to the rapid advancement of their technology via human intervention. After the war, surviving governments begged humans for help. It was provided in the form of reconstruction of destroyed cities and surgical reconstruction of severely wounded individuals.

The planet was annexed and modernized following the reconstruction efforts, becoming a member of the Orion Confederation as a vassal under Revant in an effort to prevent their extinction. This scenario caused a change in GSF first-contact protocol when interacting with species that have not yet established themselves in the galaxy.

Changes made stated that unless intervention would be required to prevent an otherwise unavoidable cataclysm leading to extinction, any species who...

* Is undergoing widespread social or political instability.
* Possesses a majority devoting themselves to indigenous religion with radical and/or violent tendencies.
* Has not yet established at least one sustainable colony.

...is to be monitored until such a time as those conditions no longer apply. These restrictions are intended to...

* Avoid a collapse of civilization.
* Avoid the escalation or creation of violent conflicts.
* Avoid the creation of religions based upon the worship of humans as deities.
Authiik Remnant

The insignia of the Authiik Remnant Government

Temno: 80 Thousand

Udyana: 24 Thousand

The Authiik Remnant is a loose collection of related cultural groups of authiik that directly descend from the Old Authiik Domain, but are also not associated with the authiik state of Alyavaloka. It currently consists of the planet Mabatshar's population, those living on Temno, and those taking part in the recolonization of the authiik homeworld of Udyana.

It was centralized in the year 3010, when Mabatshar and Temno's authiik populations reconnected and began sharing information with the assistance of the Orion Confederation.
HMS Dauntless

The Galaxy-Class *HMS Dauntless* (or *Her Majesty's Ship* *Dauntless* is a massive vessel commissioned by the Royal Navy of Joya, a branch of the HSGDS. The ship stands, from bow to stern, at just over 0.82 kilometers long. The main gun stretches past the front of the hull, and the opening has a diameter of just over 6 meters.

Its construction was ordered due to an attack on the previous Joyan flagship, the *HMS Purpose* by a recently discovered group of Bomure radicals and pirates during a scheduled maintenance check. This resulted in the ship being reduced to mere slag. At least thats the answer given to the public.

The *Dauntless'* most famous (or in some cases infamous) battle was the Battle of Yaart.

## Construction

The *Dauntless*  was designed to be the largest human ship ever built. It lives up to the name. From the floor of the lowest deck to the ceiling of the highest, it measures 24.3 meters. It consists of 10 stories, each with 3 meter ceilings and with 1.52 meters of crawl space in between. The total length of the vessel is 823 meters.

It employs no windows, instead using holographic displays and sensors to display realistic views of what is outside that point to a viewer.

Its outer hull is constructed of seamless titanium plates that run the length of the ship, the first of its kind to do so. A unibody starship was a goal of many planetary navies and had never been done on anything larger than a fighter before this project.

### History

Early in the year 6942, the *Purpose* was destroyed by, what was told to the public, Bomure pirates. In a public statement they said that it was stationed in a close orbit of Rangel 2b, now reduced to a dense field of shards of steel and clouds of dust. The Bomure leaders apologised for the behavior of their species and nearly nobody brought it up again.

The real story involved a joint mission between the Bomure and Humankind to investigate a disturbance in the area around that star. The ship never came back, however.

The following year, after talk of *Purpose* died down, the *Dauntless* was commissioned. It was constructed in orbit of Joya's moon and took 50 years on top of two decades of research.

In 7012 the vessel was completed and immediately called to action into the battle of Yaart. It also spearheaded the fight against the previously unknown race that destroyed *Purpose.*

Amunet System

The Rangel 2 system is, as its name suggests, the second star system colonized by Range-L Colonization.

It actually consists of 2 stars, but one is so small, it doesn't affect the primary of the system any more than Jupiter affects Sol.

## Planets

5 planets orbit the star, a blue giant, but only one has been officially named.

### Rangel 2 I, II, and III

All partially molten, due to their closeness of <30 AU, and all more than twice the mass of earth. The third has a dense atmosphere of nitrogen, but it is unlivable to to temperatures upwards of 300 degrees.

### Rangel IV

A barren desert planet. The atmosphere is breathable, but the temperature is deadly.

### Rangel 2B

An M6 star like Kyandor, its low mass of 0.12 sols keep it from being a true binary partner to Rangel 2, barely affecting the nearly 20 solar mass star. It is also outshone by the primary, only casting small amounts of light on the night side of Rangel IV, and being dimly visible after sunset for Joya.

### Joya

The final planet and the center of civilization in the system. It is nearly 73 AU from the star, putting it in the habitable zone. Its gravity is a light 0.9 Gs, and its days are a short 20 hours.

Very developed with plenty of money, the planet is covered in sprawling cities around its tropics, leaving its life rich equatorial regions intact. It specializes in exporting large amounts of exotic fruit.

It is also the main source of the stigma of the Rangel systems, of them being haughty and stuck up. This isn't entirely false, as the systems permanent inhabitants do tend to treat outside visitors with disdain.

It has one small unnamed moon, barely big enough to have a spherical shape. It currently goes by "Joya's Moon."

## Seasons and Climate

Despite having an inclination similar to that of earth, Joya's seasons last slightly longer than 100 years. This is due to its long, 417 year orbit. People wishing for vacations during a particular season longer than Kyandor's 11 days, or Old Earth's 3 months, usually go here. Though, the fees are high.

## Life

Joya seems to be the only place capable of supporting life as we know it, with 50% ocean coverage and sprawling jungles covering its equator.
Fallen Empires Timeline

This timeline details the early history of the authiik species, as well as their interactions with the early bomure and neyanta. It takes place over fifty thousand years ago and is counted in human calendar years.

To see how this relates to the main timeline, see Galactic Timeline.

## Negative Years

### 60000s BCE

Authiik civilizations begin forming out of necessity to care for the sick.

### 53011 BCE

Excessive amounts of genetic engineering for aesthetic purposes led to the complete feminization of the male sex to fit the authiik ideal of attractiveness. Colors of clothing become the only identifiers of sex in social situations.

### 51661 BCE

A global nuclear catastrophe drives the authiik into space to escape the fallout.

### 51618 BCE

The first authiik colony is founded in another solar system.

Une

The Une (Plural Unem) were created third overall, designed by a scientist named Dr. Landon Pierce. The goal was to continue the human race as long as possible on new worlds. The pure human genome data was destroyed in a crash that resulted from a stronger than expected magnetic field interfering with navigation.

The planet that would come to be known as Demet in the future was teeming with early life. Small monkey-like creatures appeared to be the safest to use to fill the broken DNA data, which they were.

the resulting species that came out were failures. One for low mental capacity, and the other for being for unprofessional reasons. The third batch of ten however came from the Gestation tubes and the four survivors of the crash looked upon them with confusion.

Their ears were swept back and pointed, their eyes large, and their faces elongated into slight snouts with small noses and mouths. Aside from their obvious physical traits inherited from the Demetian Primate DNA, they functioned perfectly as humans. As if they were humans needing to be taught about the modern age.

Dr. Pierce named them Une "The Ones" as they were nearly perfect, aside from the physical traits that all of the races had.

Eventually as years went by (A little more than 3400) The unem eventually forgot about the humans altogether, getting an evolutionary kickstart from the humans technology. They currently reside in a country known as the Unem Territories.
