Short Backstory: The dominates hail from a distant galaxy hounded by the chaotic forces of manipulistic capitalism. Left no quarter in a territory surrounded by their greatest fear on all sides, the comrade leader initiated a mass migration to another system coordinated from the massive flagship Star's End, a world in its own right. As the Dominion settles into this new realm, they cannot help but feel uneasy and turn to their glorious leader Arceus Negata for his unparalleled wisdom, who has prophesied that any attempt to colonize planets in the sector will result in ruination. Consequently, the dominates quietly strip mine worlds on the edge of known space, reproducing aboard the massive worldcraft brought on their journey and building mighty warships on their venerable forgecraft until the time may come that comrade leader Negata finds it wise to lash out at the scum currently inhabiting the galaxy.

The dominates are pale humanoids in appearance with long, flowing black hair and slightly pointed ears, and have nothing but the utmost devotion to their fearless leader despite the fact that their standards of living are exceptionally poor by contemporary standards.

The Orion Confederation was formed when the globalization of its home planet occurred. When space travel was made practical, a colonization spree followed. Now, the Confederation is a slightly xenophobic nation that wants to remedy its lack of planets with more annexations. The Confederation is also highly concerned about security, so border incursions, terrorists, smuggling, and the like are taken seriously. A recent election has also taken place, ending the former Chancellor Hans Bauer's 20 year term as leader of the Confederation. Chancellor George Anderson now leads. Time will tell if he will go down in history as a great leader, or a despot.

I just edited my app in compliance with the limit, so now I have 15 systems and something-5 politics.

"Short" backstory:

Spoiler:

The Pan-Galactic war took a heavy toll on many systems in the galaxy. Delta Serpentis wasn't an exception. The population who once believed in peaceful co-existence were disappointed in the way they took. The population became harsh as the conditions in the system and desperate. They needed a powerful leadership and one man rose to give them hope - Ian Velenberg. He managed to collect the men of Serpentis Prime around him with his inborn gift of speech and his vision of utopian society. He wasn't only a good speaker but also a good leader. Under his rule the system was quickly rebuilt. Velenberg established a complicated regime where the people elected 121 councillors who in turn gave power to the government lead by the president. the president had great power in his hands and remained in control until dismissed by the council .

Velenberg created a powerful and terrifically addictive worldview that quite appealed to the residents of Delta Serpentis - In this hostile universe the UTA needs to face many threats and needs great power to resist them. The power of the UTA comes from the people - they entrust the council with the power and their loyalty is what keeps the UTA intact. As long as they are loyal to the UTA the UTA has power to protect and help the people. The council promised equality and rights to it's citizens. The UTA attracting not only with the ideology but also by offering rights and security in this troubled time. Velenberg created a powerful propaganda machine and educated the population in his new way. Because of the success of his regime and the ideology the people were ready to obey Velenberg. They became highly disciplined and ready to serve their homeland, to protect their families and land. Under this definition was not only the service in the army but also in many aspects of their life.

From a ruined wasteland Serpentis Prime was rebuilt within two decades with people ready to work almost for free for the great cause. Velenberg made sure they got food and slowly from the infrastructure built by the people the economy was ready to boom again. As the propaganda said "By the people - for the people !" The success of Delta Serpentis attracted neighbouring systems who were ready to join the great cause - to rebuild and protect their systems as one well fuelled machine. The army, the workers and the rulers became one under Velenberg's rule and this unity and discipline is the key for the Terran UTA's success.

As the achievements of the UTA grow more and more people join the cause. Although the UTA is yet small it is ready to grow and spread it's ideology in terrifying speed.

Military: A well oiled war machine. The power of the UTN comes from the courage and dedication of the soldiers. While the fleet is held back a bit by the limited technology it more than makes it up by the people. The UTN marines are a terrifying force to fight against.
Economy: Slowly improving as the result of the dedication of the people who are ready to work hard with little reward when needed.
Social: The dedication and education of values created a powerful society which is ready to back their leaders.
Political: When it comes to bureaucratic the UTA traditionally lacks in efficiency, maybe the only thing the citizens are complaining about.
Size: Currently includes a limited amount of systems but the UTA has already set up it's eyes on other systems.

Size: 40


Short Backstory:
(longer one will be available when I feel like redoing the TSRFM page)
The separate nations of the Feles grew as they explored the stars. Typically, each nation was controlled by a single clan, one family and those directly subservient, with a few variations in government type. When they ventured out of the dark bubble of the Bata Viel, into the galactic community, the individual nations grew closer, eventually melding into one conglomerate, the Batiss Combine. The Clans retained some of their their power, some in the form of official representation, and some with unofficial Duchies. Karesh'Ni was the visionary behind this melding just under 100 years ago, people have wanted him in a position of greater power since the Combine was formed. Now, since the old head of government has died, 'Ni has taken the position.

Empire Name: Darkstar Corporation.

New Leader: =censored=

Military: 40

Size: 30


Short Backstory: The Darkstar Co. is a company initially versed in in-system defense and information broking. Now its a powerhouse,technologically and Economically,capable of funding colonys on his own.

The Darkstar military is centered around the concepts of stealth and speed, preferring outmaneuvering their enemies, hit-and-run attacks, guerrilla tactics and subterfuge.

The armoury of the corporation consists primarily of lightly armoured, fast vehicles with average firepower, which can outmaneuver and flank the opponent. Long-range weaponry is also prevalent, including the surface-to-space missile launchers or long range artillery designed to deliver immense amounts of punishment to the opponent without exposing themselves.

In various ways, the corporation has always been technologically superioor in terms of civilian tech, an organization backed by and effectively operated on behalf of the traders and companys, and, more specifically, economically and technologically developed nations. It is not fully known how the corporation achieved such a state of unique technological superiority, though it is often linked to their access to and study of allegedly alien technology, and their monopoly on certain resources, which provided them with vast amounts of wealth, both financially and scientifically. The corporation has constructed, owned, and operated many state-of-the-art research institutes, and hired out research teams globally. Oftentimes, these institutes and related facilities were kept highly secret, and hidden from academia and especially from the galactic scientific comitee.

[Ivan2006]

Ls, you don´t have a sector.

[Iv121]

Aaand I still got no answer abut my idea.

I actually thought that because of that system everyone will begin to spoiler everything they do, so I suggest to improve in the system, I will bring it all here edited:

Each participant spoilers a tactic he wants to adopt for his fleet (obv the others are not supposed to read the spoilers), and you play the battle out. On critical moments you can stop the battle and allow the others to pick tactics again and so it will be a game of predicting the other's tactics like real strategy. You can also spoiler any other action you don't want the other players to know about. Be warned though that the amount of spoilers you can use is limited by the number of SpecOps points you have.The SpecOps points will regen over pages added to the thread (Which can be a good relative way to measure time in this RP).

On the other hand players can also open the contents of the spoiler and what is inside using an intel point. Their number is also limited and it regenerates as well.

In order to make sure people won't be tempted to open the spoilers regardless I made an encrypting algorithm and a program with it. You can download and try it out here: <Link temporarley removed>
I will also PM Fen the decoder to use. It will be actually much appreciated if that system is added as a plugin into the forum because I find it uncomfortable to jump between multiple programs all the time even though I tried to make it user friendly. basically all there is a need for is to add an API because I already got the encryption figured out. It is also possible to automate the points stuff quite easily too.

[Ivan2006]

So, Iv, you´re saying you got something that can allow for encryption on the forum?
I don´t think fenway can do much with that, so it might be more effective if you posted it somewhere else, like in the suggestions forum.

[Iv121]

Well that is a side effect but it was mostly designed for the use in the RP. See I built it counting on that only one person has the decryptor, if you just have a button for encryption and decryption someone can simply click on that button and see exactly what you wrote - want it or not. I will probably need to add an encryption key for that. Annd I already found a bug: Copying a text with some sort of a format (aka different font or size) for some reason messes the translation. Copying from the forum works BUT copying from other places like word DOESN'T , keep it in mind.


EDIT: Also found a weird bug in the system. I will remove the downlaod link until I can sit and fix it.

[Iv121]

Alright latest version is out, release summery:

- fixed the font data corrupting encryption process.
- fixed the encryption method and improved it, added an encryption key, possibility of using the method for encrypting forum messages by popular demand.
- Added lines at the beginning and the end of the encrypted message to make sure the whole message is copied and encrypted/decrypted correctly. If you use the decrypt function make sure you copied the whole text from one end to the other including the lines, it will now complain if copied an invalid text. If for some reason the encrypted text has no lines like that the data is corrupt, please report me with the input you used.
- fixed help accordingly.

That encoder's pretty useless without a DEcoder, and you haven't posted the linky to that here, IV.
