The galaxy is war-torn, four major "empires" vie for control over the people, wether through peaceful negotiation, forcing steel and arms, or rightful conversion. Entire fleets arise prepared for battle, and those that live outside the law raid colonies and trader ships with no regard for life.

THE FACTIONS

The slavan empire are the ultimate fascists. All matters of life are valued only on the terms of their leader, Volih Serevem; they are galatic tyrants, the interstellar hand of steel, the ones who are almost unstoppable in space warfare. In terms of rulership the Slava are ruthless, enslaving all on a subjugated planet that doesn't match their species. In fact, to own a slave is a rite of passage in Slavan society, so that the generation learns their “superiority”.



To be a trooper in Slavan society is an utmost pleasure, concepts such as honor, melee combat, and equal footing are the main three words in the dictionary of the slavan navy, so they usually board an enemy ship to see just how strong they are in arms, not ships. But those who fail in melee combat are considered worthless, a wounded slavan soldier will soon find himself a slave after recovery.



Species wize, the Slavans resemble the succubi/incubi of fantasy lore, closely resembling humans despite large red bat wings and curled horns. They also include any other species they dominate in their quest for world domination.





The kaikamtepherkore alliance

The kaitiaki race rules over the most protective, brave civilization in the galaxy. They appear primitive at first but are actually just as advanced as the others. They rule the Kaikamtepherkore alliance, an honorable warrior empire made up of many tribal races from multiple planets under one banner. It was by their hand that the Slavans have been kept at bay for so long. And they indirectly stopped the slavans from taking over earth back in the year 2012. Without the humans ever knowing.



<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The Kaikamtepherkore alliance isnt evil, but they arent good either. They take pride in honorable combat and trials of strength just as much as the Slavans do, making them decent matches on the battlefield. They’re also the most numerous being at least 12 planets aligned together. Most of them want to keep to themselves, but less than half of the tribes making up the alliance call for a spree of conquering, which some of them decide to do anyways… Leading to most of the troubles the alliance has to protect itself from. They usually fight the slavan empire more than others. But they’ve had disputes with the syndicate over colonist planets many times before.

The next to join was the Kamotokia, a 3 eyed amphibian species that had first encounters with the Kaitiaki the Kamotokia saw similarities between themselves and the Kaitiaki that prevented a race war and shaped the nature of the Kaikamtepherkore alliance to what it aspires to be today. The third were Tepouri, a race of shadowy aliens that live on a sunless planet. They were at first afraid of the alliance, thinking they would decimate their clans and enslave them. But were soon enough welcomed with open arms. The fourth species makes up the 9 other tribes the Kaikamtepherkore have accepted, a large spree of exploration that happened on an isolated galaxy of 9 planets, each inhabited by primitive species calling themselves the Herekore. They resemble humanoid animals, such as foxes and sharks. There are some human communities as well as other species who migrate to the Kaikamtepherkore planets seeking personal freedom or other means, and not to mention the colonies that fail to protect themselves from vindictive natives usually falls under their rule too.

If there is a alliance, its temporary and the Kralica demand only a outcome to their benefit.

The humans have kept a mostly peaceful lifestyle, even if the Commercisto syndicate has a very… Specific way of doing things their way and coming out on top in the end, ruling over all the way from mars to alder 6 about 1000 lightyears away, the commercisto has found a value in humanity due to their recklessness… But also their natural discipline and outsider-reputation making them good diplomats with the kaikatepherkore.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Over time the humans have become an integral part of the Commercisto, with some having high leadership roles, most wish to live lives outside of the eye of the Commercisto, either striking out on their own in Commercisto cities, or joining up with neutral colonies on the edge of Kaikatepherkore territory. This is known as the “westward memories rush” by the humans, since they do it out of nostalgia for an important part of history to one of their older nations back home. They, along with the Commercisto, despise the Slavans for their slaving, fascist nature, the humans hate them even more for they remind them of a darker time in their own history.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">While some of the lower, more local governments on commercisto planets are democratic (a governmental concept introduced by the humans that struck the other Commercisto races with much interest.), this led to a large cultural exchange over 20 years, with human concepts such as video games, movies, pop culture, and music spiking interest in the other species.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Besides humans, there are also the Tiagire, a race of serpentine humanoids that introduced the concept of the syndicate and went with it all the way. The syndicate is ruled by a Tiagire mob boss known as “Papa’ssshan”, a cyclopic species named the “Unu”, who ruled over the empire that came before the Tiagire’s economic control and the empire’s corruption into a solely trader society.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The senmorta were also a major species in the syndicate, they are immortal aliens resembling pale, vampiric humans. Many of them enjoy careers as bounty hunters and top assassins. The large, strong crustacean aliens named the “selo” came soon after, as they were accustomed to nomadic lives as merchants and mercenaries. Finally is the “Teroro”, also known as “onis” due to their resemblance to the large, ugly creatures of Earth’s Japanese mythology. They take on most walks of life just as much as humans do, but many come under the assumption they are thugs because of a all Teroro gang the “boogymen” who secretly work for Papa’ssshan.

He’s also deserving of the title “the most bored man in the universe.”
