Spoiler: Vidathrian Interstellar Hegemony

Species name: Lathar

Species adjective: Lath

Empire name: Vidathrian Interstellar Hegemony

Empire adjective: Vidathrian

Phenotype: mammalian

Traits: Communal, Intelligent, Slow breeders

Ethos: Fanatic Materialist, Xenophile

Government: Despotic Hegemony

Homeworld: Vidathar

Planet type: Continental


Description of species: The lathar are about 3 meters high with very slim bodies. The species closely resembles that of a humanoid goat. They have 4 limbs, 2 on the upper body and 2 legs. These limbs are extremly long, ending in hands and feet with 8 fingers. They don’t have faces in the traditional sense, int he middle of it they have 1 giant eye which changes color depending on their mood. For example the eye is red when they are calm but turns to green if they are angered. Their entire body is covered in hair with the color ranging form dark grey to brown although not much of it is seen as they usually wear environmental suits as their planet has low gravity and thus low atmospheric pressure.


Empire history and description: The species wasn’t always as united as it is now. Different factions with their own agenda constantly waged war with each other for territory resources and manpower. This all changed when the Lathar faction gained a technological edge over the others and managed to subjugate them. Over time the identitiy of the other factions was eradicated so much that the entire species started to call themselves lathar. This unificaton caused them to be more and more accpeting towards other cultures. They regard every life in the universe precious and seek to understand how and why they developed the way they did.

I bid welcome to each and every one of the species of this great Galaxy in the name of the Vidathrian Interstellar Hegemony! We hope for peace and understanding between our peoples.

Transmission from the Waghoo Archon
We warn you of the Ur-Quan, that will probably quickly decide to enslave you with the support of lies.

 

[KingRolan]

"Elucidate."

The meek translator continues. "If we continue like this, passively opposing our enemies instead of outright attacking them, we could wage a different kind of war, known as 'cold war'. I suspect that they dare not attack us if we do not provoke them first. Their ways are far too weak to allow it. This would also allow you to focus more on the 'threat beyond our comprehension'. Sir."

"Well as, a trader for Alliance, I can tell you that came in the wrong time if you wanted peace. Several fleets from numerous Governments are busy trying not to start a war between each while also trying to smash into the other guys heads that we would win said war. Not a very good chance for peace right now."

 

[Joe Joerson]

The votes come in:
87% blank, 6% shield, 7% battle thralls

"Results are in, 53.85% of the Voting population has decided Battle Thrall Status. So it shall be. We will rebuild your world when resources can be allocated."
The Ur-Quan disable the Slave Shield and extract their Satellite.

The meek translator continues. "If we continue like this, passively opposing our enemies instead of outright attacking them, we could wage a different kind of war, known as 'cold war'. I suspect that they dare not attack us if we do not provoke them first. Their ways are far too weak to allow it. This would also allow you to focus more on the 'threat beyond our comprehension'. Sir."

"You make a fair point, we will stop here and build defenses. This world is enough of a gain for now."

Thank you for the warning honorable one! We shall prepare our fleets and face them on the field of battle if necessary.

I see... We shall wait carefully then, we do not wish to be part of a conflict we do not understand. But our fleets are shall be ready if the worst came to pass.

 

[Joe Joerson]

To Vidathrian Interstellar Hegemony,

"We offer to you our boon of slavery. We offer Battle Thrall status and fighting for the Hierarchy. Or Fallow Slave Status and Protection under a nigh impenetrable shield. If you accept Battle Thrall Status, you will be given Technology, Resources and Power necessary for you Interstellar Empire. We the Ur-Quan Kzer-Za will guarantee your Peace, Security and Prosperity. We are the Ur-Quan Kzer-Za and our Hierarchy of Battle Thralls. You have heard our words. Now submit to the Ur-Quan or face our Wrath!"

 

[zukodark]

Of the current 20 Waghoot planets:
2 (Khaaraf and Doghoo) are slave shields of the Ur-Quan Hierachy. The third and sixth most populated planets.
1 (Waghoot-2) is a battle thrall of the Ur-Quan Hierachy. The second most populated Waghoot planet.
17 are independent. Of these, New Waghoo stands as military capital as the least individualistic planet.
One of these, the original Waghoo, is still in utter chaos.
Also, one of these is in the vicinity of the Shadow Empire.

To the Ur-Quan Kzer-Za

Thank you for your generous offer great one, but Overseer Hlaag'kira informs you that our freedom is non-negotiable. We do not fear your empty threats of violance, our fleets are being prepared as we speak. However we would still like to reach a peacful solution. We can offer you technology and materials.

" As supreme commander of the Allies forces, we will send scout units to the third most populated planet. Maybe after incident we can bring down those slave shields."

Transmission from the Archon
You should be ready. We neither wished to be part of the conflict, and yet were forced to. If not the Ur-Quan, Khendros will start it. Also, we wish for forgiveness for our 17th planet, who is very close to your own systems. We had not discovered your existence yet. We will not expand any more in its vicinity.

Message to the Waghoo Archon

We already recieved a transmission from these... insects. We would like to propose an alliance between our empires so we can battle this threat! We can offer scientists, technology and reasources as well as our spaceports if need be.

 

[Joe Joerson]

To United Systems Alliance,

"We still offer to you Battle Thrall Status, with preferred trading with all Hierarchy constituents. As a measure of our "good faith" we will allow plebiscites on Khaaraf and Doghoo on whether they would like to remain as Ur-Quan Fallow Slaves or If they wish to handle the Horrors of the galaxy alone once more."

To all Waghoot Planets,

"You are recommend to Accept Ur-Quan Dominance, we will accept any offers of submission at this time. We will ensure you Peace, Prosperity and Security."

 

[zukodark]

To the Ur-Quan Hiearchy from Waghoot-2
We are honored to fight besides you as your battle thralls.

We could hardly do much for you ourselves, but if you joined the larger alliance it would truly benefit us all. We have been lucky with our worlds, and despite our lack of military power, we do have one of the largest supplies of minerals. In addition, we are quick and effective ship builders. They might be the highest quality, but we can create many of them quicker than most.

The Vulpes Archon gives a cheerful smile and a friendly wink. "As are we, to accept a new ally into our ranks! You would do well to get to know us; we're the main diplomats, enforcers, and translators of the Hierarchy -- kind of a big deal around these parts."

Excellent! The 6 planets of the Hegemony (Vidathar, Nova Vidathar, Ragoost, Halma, Fridler and Jalk) stands with you! We are ready to share our tactical AI constructs and optics based weapon designs (commonly referred to as "lasers") with you.

 

[Solicitius]

[I think the OP should probably edit his first post to include a list of all the races so far and their creator. It is becoming too easy to lose the flow of events. Something easy and palatable like:
Solicitius - Midion: Arthropoid. Spiritualist, Xenophile, Militarist.
And at most, a link where it's possibile to find the first description.
Keep coming the good stuff guys. The Midion will come back later this evening (unfortunately not before)]

If you two are willing, you are welcome to join the Independent League. In return you will be treated as allies and equals to the United System Alliance and Khendros empire. As that is ask are you have free trade treaties and immigration treaties with the other member states and don't partake in the genocide of a other species.

in return, we will be willing to use Waghoot shipyards to help build our fleets, and give you access to our advance Projectile, missile, and armor tech.
