Teller's Note: This Article is under Construction, and I can only do so much. Our Ships will be posted elsewhere, And once added, I will directly notify you. I, Leverian, Promise that to you.
Introduction
The Ekere Remna, or the Ekeren Remnant, is a relatively large empire built from the merging of a broken Empire and the Remnants of what once were.
Teller's Note: If the Ten allowed me to have the information, I would place the reaches of our territory. I can say I do remember that at the beginning of the Merge there were at least 22 Star Systems under our control. I have noticed ads for Merut I recently, so it's clear we're still expanding. Note that the Majority of our territory is gained from the Merging of the Darkest Night ages back and is only partially colonized.
The Remna See themselves as peace keepers despite their tendencies to start and end wars for their allies rather than negotiate. The Remna put focus into military more than anything else, this is to prevent attacks on civilians.
Remna are mostly known for their technology and usage of "The Mirum." The Mirum is a dimension or existence which seems to be a well of unlimited Void energy, although this technology is incredibly Volatile.
"The Mirum" is not the only discovery, but also "The Absence" which is the polar opposite of the Mirum, with an unending ravenous hunger for energy it will destroy matter itself. The Absence has proven incredibly difficult to weaponize, as it, unlike the Mirum, cannot be channeled through a device.
Then there's the Indifferent. It seems to be just a product of the Mirum and the Absence, it acts as a giant battery of sorts, capable of storing unknown amounts of energy. The Indifferent has strange properties which allow it to be useful for material transfer and space travel.
Teller's Note: It appears Void energy is used to describe other energy types used by Out-Worlders, the Mirum does not output These types of Void Energy.
Teller's Note: It seems unreal.. But it isn't. It really isn't. The Mirum Exists.. I've Been there. I've Been Everywhere. yet Nowhere. All at once. Imagine a color you've never seen before. That is where you are.
Technology
Remna technology is unique for its use of the Mirum and Absence. Remna ships make use of Absence Shielding, Which Inverts the flow of a Voidcore to allow a sheathe of Absence with a Void Lining to prevent self-damage. Absence Shielding is incredibly powerful and unaffected by standard Anti-Shield weapons. It remains weak to cannonfire and other physical damage, forcing the Remna to install standard Adaptive Shielding to their ships as well, powered by Voidcores.
Voidcores channel the Mirum through the core itself, acting as a "Gateway" for the energy to escape. Voidcores come in multiple sizes, ranging from small cores weighing less than a kilogram to the size of small ships. Voidcores use smaller Voidgates to wirelessly move energy, but often rely on heavy duty cords to directly transfer energy.
For thrust and movement, the Ekere Remna use "Mirings" as called by some and "Void Rings" called by others. they are circular gateways which can allow void energy to escape from any and all angles, allowing thrust in all directions, Although they can minimally self power, they require a Core to have maximum output. Capable of creating a Void Rail. Void Rails set the ship or ships directly through the Indifferent, Using its energy properties to accelerate the ship up to FTL speeds in minimal time, all while having no affect on crew.
Teller's Note: I've been through a VoidRail before.. It seems faster than FTL, but It isn't? Or perhaps it is, and nobody ever says anything about it. It's amazing.. The Colors!
Remna Weaponry is specially crafted for its purpose. Each and every weapon uses either the Mirum or Absence to work. Physical weaponry, such as Remna cannons, Actually use a "Rail-Winder" Which takes stored ammunition from a base, perhaps even light years away, and Accelerates it through the Indifferent and is decelerated until it exits the Indifferent, and into the ship. Rounds are then loaded into the cannons and accelerated once again with , Electromagnets powered by the Mirum. This allows cannons to be more space-efficient.
Energy weapons either directly use Void Energy to deal damage or use of the Absence Loop to drain energy from enemy ships while boosting the power output of the Remna, or allied, Ship. Until recently, this required a tether to be launched.
The Ekere Remna also use Fabricators, which convert Energy from the Mirum into matter, while smaller ones are less efficient and are useful for civilians, Larger ones can produce matter at an alarming rate, with Newer fabricators even capable of making alloys and functioning segments of ships.
The Remna use special Space Stations, called Towers, and Relays, groups of Towers connected through the Mirum, as defense systems for their territory, capable of dissolving entire fleets by oneself, a Tower powered with a Relay is capable of incinerating entire Systems, either by direct annihilation of the host star or the Anomalies created by the massive Rift to the Mirum created by the blasts. For this reason, Other factions are recommended to keep territory a safe distance away from Remna borders, to prevent accidental damage when firing. Although Towers have incredible range, they are rarely built outside of Remna Territory, the few that are outside, are likely nonfunctional or relics of the past.
Teller's Note: There is nothing quite like watching one of these fire, but the risk is often great, due to the anomalies created. They require a cool down, or else the Lens which gives the energy more focus will overheat and be rendered useless, creating even more danger when firing due to the spread of the energy.
Species
The Remna are made up of multiple species, most of which gathered in the last 500 years
Ekero/Remna: The Native species of the Ekere Remna, they are gelatinous creatures capable of intense regeneration and self-reproduction. They are capable of surviving in nearly any environment and consuming nearly everything as a source of nutrition. Capable of Intentional Mutation. Height and appearance varies greatly.
Sicut: Creatures that stand at 5-7 Feet tall, they are known for their similarities with Old-Earth "Cats" including ears, paws, tails, and fur. The most notable difference between Sicuts and "Cats" is that Sicuts are Bipedal and much, much larger. They are agile and capable of falling from great heights without injury.
Supul: Standing at 6-7 Feet tall, These furred creatures have skull shapes similar to Old Earth "Dogs" or "Wolves" but share different features, including two sets of eyes and a smooth nose, with slits on either side for scent. They're known for their resilience in taking multiple shots from high-powered ballistic weapons.
Avocts: Standing at roughly 4-5 feet, with five being rare, Avocts are small bird-like creatures covered in feathers. Bodies come in many shapes and sizes, many of which seem to be comparable to Old-Earth species of birds, albeit much more humanoid. Avocts have notably weak bodies but are incredibly intelligent.
Avocts are often used as voluntary unpaid task-workers, such as maids and butlers. Unlike slaves, they have access to Food, Clothing, Bedding and other luxuries of equal or greater quality as their employer, they are allowed to own property and drive (specially designed) vehicles. Avocts may also choose paid jobs, so long as the job has limited physical strain, they receive a 1.25x pay rate as compared to other species.
Teller's Note: They can also turn their heads roughly 190 degrees in both directions. I was unaware of this and nearly dropped dead when Lias turned her head completely backwards while cleaning to see what I was writing. I now require minor medical assistance.
The Great Ten
Remna Leaders comprise of "The Great Ten." Ten Biological leaders and one "Sentinel" AI, to act as a final vote only if necessary.
The Great Ten control every aspect of the Remna Civilization, especially when it comes to military.
A Seat on the Great Ten is voted on by both the Rest of the Ten and the Remna People. With Every Ten Million votes counting as an equal to a vote of the Great Ten. Remna population Exceeds 30 Billion, as of the last, and only, information as of 500 years ago.

Each of the Great Ten controls a chunk of the territory, with Planetary Leaders directly underneath them, Each Planetary leader has one or more Nation Leaders, one for each continent.
Ships:
Teller's Note: With this currently outdated software, I will not provide images at this time due to the clutter it will cause. Please fetch a Medical worker as my heart is still in pain from the previous interaction.
All Remna Classes and Ships, Excluding the Lux, are named after Soldiers or Leaders who showed Exemplary performance or sacrifice.
https://forum.cosmoteer.net/d/11202-ekere-remna-ships
Ako: The Primary Military branch. Named after Oras Ako III for his military performance and winning a battle that was destined to be lost. With Ships outnumbered 5 to 1, he commanded his ships with excellent capability. Taking full advantage of the ships powers and weaknesses.
Asyu: Civilian and Territory Patrols. Named after Eran "Aeleye" Asyu for her irreplaceable capability as a courier, Taking cargo and civilian trade ships from point A to B faster than you can pronounce Her nickname!
Teller's Note: How do you pronounce that anyways? I asked Lias to assist but even she was unable to decipher it.
Ketu: Law enforcement and Low-End Military. Named after Lio Ketu for his amazing piloting skills. With a Killstreak of exactly 2,735, He met his demise to a Human-Designed Pistol while shopping for his family. The murderer was found and voted to the fate of "Mira," A type of execution in which Remna use their superior technology to clone the deceased with all memory, and pain. The murderer went through 265 rounds of Mira, to make up for Lio's "3 Thousand" goal and motto, "I won't slow until I've beat 3,000"
Teller's Note: This one made me particularly sad, and that's all I'm going to say as to not embarrass myself.
Orius: Exploratory and Colonization. Named after Eret "Orius" Tekko, he is most known for discovering and scouting over 200 planets now colonized by the Ekere.
Lux: The Elite Military of the Remna. Known for performing illegal experiments and their ability to enjoy having limbs ripped off in battle.

Covenant (Allied)
Galactic Emergency Coalition (Allied)
Blue Triamiurran Empire (Military Access Treaty)
IMG (Trade Partners)
Venata (Enemies.) The Venata are a biological infestation and parasites, they take over anything from crew, to ships, to entire planets when possible.
Teller's Note: It appears the Archives have been lost or damaged.. probably since we last receded, or maybe as far back as Merging with the Darkest Night?
The Venata
"Those.. Things. Biological Parasites! Infestations! They Want nothing more than to destroy us and our Allies. They Work to steal our ships and technology.. Turning them into.. Disgusting biological junk.."
"They want to Take the Galactic core.. and use Our technology to spread themselves faster than ever before.. They want destruction for their own pleasure.. For Revenge after the Old Ekerens destroyed them."
The Venata are almost cult-like. The following is stated by Venata of higher standing.
///
"The.. Old Ekeren Punished Us.. for Our.. Failure.. They Punished us, so that We May.. Come.. Back.. They.. Knew.. We Would. They.. Brought us.. To the Edge of... Extinction.."
"I believe.. This.. Was.. to Show us.. How.. We can.. Grow.. We can take the spot they once held.. And.. Grow it.. Further.."
"All.. All We have to do.. Is remove those.. Pseudo-Ekerens.. the ones.. Poisoning.. the True.. Ekeren Name."
"This has Proved.. Difficult."
