The Zaedrax Tetrabune
"Our integrity will never yield, and the desire to explore the cosmos is the catalyst by which we will expand" - Supreme Ambassador Verunas Nossa
Quote :
Overview: The Zaedrax are a technologically adept race that have faced multiple hardships in their past. Natural, political, and economic issues have led to their current state, but the experience of their past has allowed them to mold their own unique government, military, and lifestyle, their violent past being something that most Zaedrax citizens would prefer to disregard. After working on multiple technological developments and establishing their galactic directives, the Zaedrax have now begun to sprout out from their home planet with the intent of learning more of the known universe.

Zaedrax Anatomy
Spoiler:
Little is known of Zaedrax anatomy, but it is known that their habitats and homeworld require a set of unique survival needs. Besides that, it can be said that they are humanoid, if slightly slender, and can be very tall. Sub-divisions of the Zaedrax race are rumored, but no evidence of such claims exist. Zaedrax are Psychic capable, but the extent of this is unknown.

Key Individuals:
Spoiler:
Supreme Ambassador Verunas Nossa
Seeing the rise of the Zaedrax's new government, and also coordinating its construction, Verunas was chosen for the position of Supreme Ambassador as soon as that position was created, and as soon as the Zaedrax were ready for extra-terrestrial contact. The role of Ambassador makes him the face of the Zaedrax Tetrabune, and being in the royal family, his broad knowledge of multiple fields, and his diplomatic zeal made him the obvious choice for the ambassadorial position. As ambassador, he is the owner of the Zaedrax Capital Ship Infinity, in charge of leading it on exploratory, scientific, colonization, and diplomatic missions.
Admiral of the Navy Kedoma Svir
Kedoma Svir had studied at the Tetrabune Naval Academy, growing to be its most promising student. His leadership and tactical prowess is rivaled only by the Military Tetrabune's cabinet representative of the Navy. As the Zaedrax have begun to lift their galactic embargo, he has been selected to be in charge of the Naval division during his assignment to the Infinity.
Tetrabune Security Commander Ihlanna Nossa
Sister of Verunas Nossa, Ihlanna has served in the Security forces of the Zaedrax since its official designation as such. She has served on multiple Buhbluba fronts, being the Commander to lead her forces to decimate the final members of the oligarchy that used to rule the Zaedrax people. Her actions earned her position, and she has recently been assigned to lead the Security division of the Zaedrax Military, now one of the leaders aboard of the Zaedrax Capital Ship, the Infinity. One unique feature that has made Ihlanna stand out is her ability to grow hair. Born during the terraforming process of Bihbulba, Ihlanna never lost the hair that most Zaedrax do, and she sports it during formal events as an indication of her high ranking position.
Tetrabunal Naval Intelligence Lieutenant and Head of Infinity Research and Science, Adabo Fuusa
Much of her past is shrouded in mystery, but what is available to the public states that her mind is always hundreds of steps beyond that of other Zaedrax. Her mind is always active, formulating the outcome of every scenario. This has led her to excel in Intelligence based divisions, as she can predict the movements and actions of sentients much before they happen to quite an accurate degree. Beyond that, Abado is a well known researcher on multiple scientific fields, currently being assigned to the ZTN Infinity. Her assignments on the Infinity cover both the scientific and research based aspects of its functions, and also cover the Intelligence gathering aspects, being the Head of Intelligence aboard the vessel.
Zielmot Bodir, The Supreme Ambassador's Escort
Little is known about the man besides that Verunas Nossa is never seen without him. Zielmot's words are also known to carry great value, as one whisper to the Supreme Ambassador can immediately change his mood or decision. Besides these facts, the only other known facts about him is that his is never seen without his energy blade, and he is one of the largest Zaedrax in recorded history.
Tetrabune Navy
Spoiler:
Part of the Infinity fleet, Infinity center with her two sister ships, Azure and Discovery, accompanied by two Destroyers.
The Zaedrax Navy is ever -growing, currently in two separate groups: The Infinity Fleet and The Offensive Fleet.
The ZTN Infinity
Quote :
The ZTN Infinity is the accumulation of Zaedrax technology, spanning 5.6 kilometers or 3.5 miles, the ZTN Infinity is the Capital Ship of the Zaedrax Tetrabune Navy. The Infinity is within a class of its own, a mix between cruiser and battleship. Only it, and its two sister ships fall under the Infinity-Class starship designation. The Infinity is a large vessel equipped heavily with scientific, military, and luxury applications. As the flagship of the Supreme Ambassador, it is known for its roomy and luxurious interiors, a parallel to its sister-ships' extremely efficient designs. Despite the luxuries, The Infinity is still capable of being a formidable and versatile vessel. It runs on a advanced Zaedrax Opulsion reactor, using Viridial to power its many devices, as well as running on Amundi based fusion reactors. The vessel trades heavy armaments for the ability to use advanced transportation methods, using the Zaedrax specific "Slipspace". This form of travel allows for extremely quick movement, pinpoint jumps, and can be readied at a moment's notice. The Infinity's main gun is a massive MAC, running the length of the ship. This primary gun fires five ton ferrous tungsten slugs at 12,000 kilometers per second. Along with the primary gun, The Infinity is armed with a multitude of railgun arrays, and a bottom-mounted and full-hull energy projection system. The hull of the Infinity is composed of multiple layers of Tridyntium armor, adapted for anti-ballistics. The vessel has multi-core shielding, both in particle and kinetic variants. .

Would the radiation of their planet have been a slow, progressive thing, or a very sudden change? If it was a sudden change, I'm going to feel slightly uncomfortable.
If it's sudden, they could easily weaponize it.

Their original planet had been radiated by its unstable sun, over countless years. As for Bihbulba, the process would have taken a good amount of time, fully radiating the planet and all. They would have prioritized on making it lush before radioactive.

As an element of science fiction, a constant level of radiation has been allowed.
For future reference, radiation kills.

1, You will start with 1 main battleship (your flagship), 2 cruisers, and 4 destroyers. I really do hate restricting people this much, so I'll say this. There can be SOME exceptions to this. Not only that, but your fleet may differ greatly from another nation's, their cruisers might be better than yours simply because of their specifications or their technology. You acquire ships purely by using money. You don't just magically get them.

So you completely disregarded my entire post before criticizing it? It should have been detected earlier if it was going to be a big deal. Still, who said they are advanced vessels? All tech level 1. Plus, they did have space travel earlier than other races, was rushed in order to escape their planet. All of it is in here, and it should have been pointed out to me. Plus, I rp'd with the fleet with you Gambit, and you managed to disregard it?

I see have the races with things that i've never seen them acquire through any of the events here. Also, admin races are well beyond tech 1, along with the fact that the League of Stars is how you get money, yet it gets abandoned. Unless we are intended to have no money, that'd be a different situation.

Gambit's race is the big bad in this game and will likely be going up against all of the other races at once.
Besides that, I think we're all at tech 1. If any of the races have advancements it's because they've been around longer.

Of course. Should be noted, none of my ships have shields, and their weapons are poor. Only advancements with them would be slipspace, numbers, and scientific equipment. I'm happy as hell that Gambit opened up events. Fun tiems.

You're wanting to break the rules and powergame is a good way to get your RP voided and your empire denied.

Im handling things behind the scenes. You can't just tell someone to blatantly change it when they say that exceptions can be made. I've been asking gambit what to do with it I'm still awaiting a response. Until then I'm still going with the fact that their shields are weak and the weapons are bad but don't be worried because I will be changing the numbers of the fleets. still I'm hoping to find out what exceptions can be made to have this work out.

1, as I said, I'm inactive, and Gambit is the co-GM, who is doing just fine. I did not abandon the forum RP as you will try to claim, I left it in good hands. Give me attitude for it and you'll find me less than sympathetic for your RP endeavors. While it may seem I don't care about Dominion, I'm going to step in when I see something I don't like.
2, that being said, I'm the Co-GM. I'm forcing you to lessen your fleet size or your empire will be nulled. You have 3 days to edit appropriately.

I have presented my questions to Gambit, as all stated above. Will lessen the size, but it does specify exceptions, hence me wishing to negotiate said exceptions. I have jumped the gun, anf all of these fleets besides Scouting are engaged in events. I'm hoping to find a way to preserve said events, while making the ZTN a acceptable size.

You don't make the exceptions, I do. (and blitz.) Steam mobile sucks by the way, which I was trying to use at work. Here's what you can do to fix this, I am going to follow through with Blitz' three day time period to change but here's what's up.
Weak shields and weapons is bogus if your race can mobilize power armored soldiers and automatons. Little bit contradictory for a race to master hydraulics and mobile suits armed with gauss and beam weaponry while being unable to properly arm a vessel and protect it shields or not.
I'm just pointing you've got some holes that need to be patched. You're a logical person I'll give you that and I trust you can make a compromise in that amount of time. Present a fixed version to the people and have them okay it, I can't call whether or not it's okay seeing as I am biased with the most powerful species in the galaxy.
