The conflict ended years ago, but the war was still alive and well. Your alien neighbors, a people your kind have shared the solar system with since you first discovered one another, sits ready to end everything your people have strived for since the dawn of civilization. It hadn’t always been like this, your races once had such great hope for one another. You were both born of your system’s star, and had both looked longingly to the other’s world, hoping for an answer on whether or not you were alone. When you discovered each other, there had been happiness, and a mad dash to discover and learn everything about each other. It was a golden age that accelerated both your people’s beyond the bounds of your worlds gravity well.
That had been so long ago, and no one knows just what one thing lead to the current state of things. Some believe it was many small things, differences that could never be reconciled between your peoples/ Other say there had been one great factor that had tipped things past the breaking point. Whatever it was, it has lead to this long war.
A shaky ceasefire has come, the fear of mutual annihilation steadying ships and calming minds. In the first time in a hundred years, your fleets stood still, glaring at each other and waiting for the war to begin again.
The Age of Expansion begins, while an Age of War decides whether to finally end or to continue once more with greater fury.
And during all this, at the edge of your sensors, The warden stands guard, blocking any hopes of escaping your system. Whatever comes of the future, you will be forced to face it, as there is nowhere to run to.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You will be playing a space faring civilization, one that shares their system with another species who you have been at war with for most of your modern history. A cold war has begun, and both sides try to expand their control and heal from the conflict.
Despite possessing FTL technology, both you and your rivals are trapped in your system by The Warden, an alien space station that prevents all attempts at escaping your star’s light.
You will have three resrouces to balance: HR (Human resources or population), Materials (Ore, gases, anything used in the construction of anything else), and research (Your civilization’s scientific power). Hr is used for your actions, as they represent the workforce you can dedicate to certain tasks, while materials are spent to produce ships, improve the infrastructure of your planet, basically to fund your actions. Research is used to fuel your advancement in technology, weather that be for military or domestic purposes.
All resources cannot be stored, and each turn whatever isn’t used is not carried over to the next turn.
More things will come into play as the game progresses, but for now we must create your species.

>Bonus to HR, bonus to diplomacy with other biological races, access almost all tech trees
>Synthetic Species: Weather created by a biological race or other synthetic life, synthetics are machines of various design that mimic life almost perfectly. They are however much harder to create, due to the resources necessary compared to biological life.
>Bonus to research, Does not require food, Unaffected by planet habitability
>Exotic species: Species that do not follow the norm. Made of gas, made of energy, or star fire, these species are a massive rarity in the galaxy.

From great and beautiful trees that once consumed your homeworld, your people hold a beauty that is almost unchallenged. Weather it be by flowers, or simply colorful bark, sentients can't help but feel week in the knees around you. However, beneath that beauty lies plant like sinew and a trunk built to carry your massive frame. Standing around 7 to 9 feet on average, your people are identical to your ancestral trees in more ways than mere beauty.
The fluff for the specifics of your looks are free for you guys to determine, or you can let me find or draw some pics for it for you to choose.
In any case, your species is now complete.
Now, how does their civilization work?
>Democracy: Whether through representation or direct, your people all (supposedly) have a say in the matters of government. Unlocks ability to purchase and replace Leaders (Heroic people effectivly). Leaders have abilities that can benefit or hinder your society. Unrest effects are weakened
>Oligarcy: Either by clans, money, military power or merit, your civilization is ruled by a select few who hold all the power. Have a set of 5 (One general, one merchant, one diplomat, one public figure, and one scientist) Leaders available to you that you can switch between. Only one leader can be active at a time, and you cannot change leaders until 5 years have passed. Normal Unrest effects
>Autocracy: Weather by Divine blood or military seizure, your people are lead by a single person and their descendants. Create an elite leader whose descendants will inherit his abilities and possibly obtain their own. Leader lives longer than any other leader other than the hive mind. Increased unrest effects.
>Hivemind: Your people are one, either sharing one unified personality or being connected with some measure of individuality. Obtain one immortal leader, who gives bonus's to HR, Research, and Materials. Massive diplomacy debuff. No unrest effects.

Your people long ago three of the shackles of oppression, and embraced the enlightened path of democracy. The governed are the governing, and all hold sway in the process of law making.
At least in paper. However all government are unique even if they function similarly. Choose a civic trait from below.
>Theocratic Republic: The word of the people is divine law! Gain the following actions.
>>Public Sermon: Hold a sermon to calm the people's hearts. Reduces Unrest on a planet.

>Technocracy: Science and technology are at the focus of this society, and logic is valued above emotion. Gain a bonus to research and get two free techs at the start of the game
>Slaver Republic: Some are more equal than others. Your society is built on a foundation of slavery, and the idea of inherent rights only apply to a few. There may be way to escape it, but regardless slavery is a main part of your society. You possess a second HR resource (Slave HR) that grows naturally, but can be increased by capturing more slaves. SHR can be used only on construction actions. Can sacrifice SHR (Working slaves to death) to have them count for double their worth and to speed up construction they're used on. Doing so massivly increases Unrest, and can lead to slave revolts. Gain a new action as well.
>>Slave raid: Raid a target group, attacking them to steal their HR and convert them to SHR. Massivly harm relations with target.
>Meritocracy: You society is based on being the best and rewarding the best. Leaders are more powerful, and you gain a new action.

>Corporate collective: Economics is the true life blood of a modern society. Gain a bonus to Diplomacy when trade deals are involved, and gain the following action.
>>Bidding War: Use this action before performing a none bidding war action. Material costs are reduced for the following action.
>False republic: The sheep belive they have power, but they don't. Your society is controlled by a group of powerful people who control things in the shadows. Leaders are cheaper, and you gain a new action
>>Swiss bank account: Store materials away to be used another turn. Limit can be increased by acquiring planets. Maximum is 100 materials.

Those who lead and succeed in life are those with the talent, skill, and drive to do so. Working hard, and being skilled will always get a person places in this society.
Thanks for putting up with this for so long, we're almost done.
What kind of world was your homeworld? (this is mostly fluff except for affecting the habitability of worlds. basically, the further a world is from your homeworld's climate, the harder it is to live on it.)
>Write in
After that, we must decide what started the war.
>Unprovoked attack: Someone shot first, and didn't shoot to kill. Begin the game with a small Fleet and a standing army. Your rival receives the same.
>Fanatics: fanatics of some religious order started the war with some terrorist act. A hostile third party exists within the system, putting both you and your rival on edge.
>Without a home: Your homeworld was taken from you by your rival, leaving your people stranded on what ships you could gather. Gain a large fleet of military and domestic ships, but do not start with a planet.
>Resource war: There is a rare resource in your system that is necessary for some of your most advanced weapons and technology, anbd both you and your rival came to blow over its possession. Adds a special resource to your system that if you possess it, gives a bonus to research and materials. If you rival comes into possession of it, they will get this buff.
>Ideological differences: Your two species are just too different to get along. Your rival becomes an Slave Empire, and holds a portion of your population as slaves.

Your people cling to what remains of your civilizations physical might, military ships guarding a flotilla of civilian vessels that house your entire population. The Verel Emperium, those damned insects, had thrown your people from the floating islands and landmasses that were your homeworld. what portions of the father tree that weren't burnt away in the battle now houses poisonous refineries and manufacturing plants that converted your gas giant home into a producer of fuel and materials for the Verel.
Your people could only watch from view points and video screens as you fled from your world, and now after centuries of war, things have settled out of fear. Your people though still want their home back, want to escape the confines of your ships and feel the warm winds of your homeworld again.
Your ships were many, their frames grown and than built over with material and technolgy. The oldest ships were built with Chrysanthium, a resource unique to your world that would be collected by the roots of the vast trees and islands that allowed you to construct the technology to leave your world despite very little land mass to mine in comparison.
Now however, your ships were build with materials you could gather from asteroids and other celestial bodies gathered by your civilian ships.
Your people call for guidance, and fear what lies in their future, prisoners as they are in their ships.

After preparing your comm officers and aligning the transmitters, your ship sent out the communication signal towards the Verel homeworld, The Holy Bastion of Kleeda.
The Verel were a highly religious people, who viewed their royal family as divine descendants of their creator goddess. They were average height, though could be rather dull at times. However, one things that had always interested your people. was the fact that they possessed some unknown ability to affect their surroundings with their minds. It was small, but with training they could move heavy objects or send smaller ones flying at high speeds. They also seemed able to easily pick up on what people were feeling, though weather this was n empathetic part to their telekinetic powers or something else entirely has never been fully understood.
After some time, a Verellian appeared on your screen, the furry sensory limbs twitching every few seconds as it stared at your with black reflective eyes.
"What is it weed? What makes you think the Verelian Empire wishes to talk to you?" he said, the antennae on his head slowly adjusting themselves as he waited for an answer.

MAJOR SUCCESS!
The Verel seems to squirm under your gaze, you words like honey and your eyes like endless seas. Your people always held the advantage when it came to Diplomacy, and it had served you well for a long while against your rivals.
Seeming unable to raise an argument to the deal, the Verel let out a sigh as his shoulders relaxed. "I suppose our future generations will appreciate any attempts we make now to bridge this gap that has formed between our people." He said, standing tall once more and looking at you seriously.
>"What is your proposal?"
(Due to your degrees of success, you can more easily create a deal that benefits you more than the other. Trade is usually handled by exchanging minerals (Either a large sum taken away from your next turn or a small sum taken every turn for a set time) Creating a research agreement (getting a discount on techs the other has while you do the same for them) exchange of ships. Anything can be traded, the above are just some examples. The other person will want somehing in return, so be prepared when you ask for somehing big and they request something similar)

Alrighty then. As per the rules, since there is a critical success and no critical failure to oppose it, we will go with this roll.DC was 85
With a small quirk of your brow, a subtle adjustment of your body language, and the ever so light lilt added to your voice, your words crash through the stubbornness of the Verel, who is left defenseless against your words.
"Fine, we will allow you to choose. Your points on differing needs and civilian contentment more than make up for any hesitation on our part. Just never make the mistake of claiming the Verel are less than generous." He said, sending you the available areas to be settled.
Choose one:
>An asteroid mining colony, built into the very core of the asteroid. Comes with industrial and mining structures. Will receives +50 to materials. Can be upgraded further. Unable to support an HR higher than 30. Asteroid is surrounded by smaller bodies that are mineral rich, and scans indicate there may be rare resources within one of them.
>A desert moon. No infrastructure set up, but holds a decent mineral potential and can support up to 50 HR. All over the moon, there are ruins from a long gone civilization. Not much study had gone into it, due to the war between your people's.
>A space station near the eye of the system. Originally meant to be a joint project by your two peoples, it was left abandoned when the war broke out. Designed to be able to hold up to 40 HR. No mineral production is possible, however it is near enough to "The Warden" to allow study of not only it but the odd field it is projecting across the entire system that is preventing both your races forms escaping.

Y do no one want to go looting?
And could also hold the reasions to the warden

You would need to develop a means to effectivly do that. As is, all you are is a punch of tree people on some life rafts with boats
Though since they are an autocracy, they are more affected by unrest. However they are also a theocracy, so they have means of dealing with it some what

>Also We should cut off Supply Lines, They just recently got our planet, I am sure they will be getting supplies and other things from planets that are already established.

Starting revolution is pretty unlikely as it is right now.
And taking hostile action right away after they give us something and got majority of our population in barely defended space station?
I'll say we study warden, build fleet and get out of here...maybe bringing part of our home world with us.
Burden say, how big father tree is? would cruisers hull be big enought to carry it and part of island it is growing on?
>>
>>1848635
The Idea is to do it without implicating ourselves. Some of the ideas were not well thought out, but I know a revolution, with us pulling the strings could get us some favor, maybe we could also build public sympathy, so we could get even further with our diplomatic machinations.

Also we should get a source of minerals too.

Are there any other species in this system or are we the only ones? That would make it easier to eventually ennact >>1848633 's plan.

I know you guys wants to do a revolution but there's a reason why our race lost in the first place. We don't know the range of their technology and the extent of their psychic abilities, especially for the king.
I suggest using our time right now to grow first before we start with any shenanigans

this should be 13-8 HR, depending on the Scouting. The Propaganda Artist, doesn't have a known Value, and must be set by DM, I'd assume it would be scouting, then diplomacy (and intrigue?). So it may have to wait if we go for it.
>>
Alrighty, I'm back. Looks like the consensus is to study the warden. I forgot to include a cost at the time, and honestly to avoid things getting complicated, I'm change it so ever 10 HR equals one action. So you guys can do one more action before this turn ends.
Sorry, I'm still trying to get this system to have a good balance of thing

It takes some time, but your people soon begin to try and settle into their new home. Your people however do not all agree with the situation, talks of weakness and throwing away their races pride spreading through the populous.

As you send some ships to scout out the Verel for any intelligence you could muster against your enemy, your scientist turn to using the specialized instruments of the station to begin the study of the Warden.

>>Your scientists knew that the station was of alien design, but deeper scans reveal the materials used to construct it are of materials your people have never seen before, elements that do not exist to your knowledge within the system. In addition, the Warden is watching. It is sending out signals to almost completely undetectable sensors across the system, invisible to anyone that doesn't know what they are looking for.
