The New Den’ar Republic
aka former United Planetary Republic, rebranded
System & Worlds
SYSTEMS: 26
COLONIZED WORLDS: 21
Species
The Aldians are a species of humanoids, similar to the galactic definition of a “Human”, with the exception that the Aldians average 2.2 meters in height, males being taller than females, and their skin usually varies from a white-like colour to a slightly red-like colour.
Aldians usually live between 100-120 terran years, and they reach their maximum height around 20-21 terran years.
Languages
Although at first the Aldians spoke their own language and wrote with their own script, after contact with various other space-exploring civilizations, they learned the “galactic standard” language, and quickly replaced Aldian with it. Nowadays, very few people speak Aldian, and it is an endangered language.
Core Worlds
Aldee
Aldee is the fourth planet from Enovus, the star it orbits. It’s right in the spot to develop life, and so it did. It is a world where water predominates, although landmass is not to be ignored. The dirt is good and nutritious, allowing for a very rich ecosystem, which is preserved to this day. It’s covered in three major continents, all of which are densely habited and industrialized. Because of such a dense population, efforts have been made to make underground habitats. These habitats are still being developed, however.
Most transportation is done underground, so as not to disturb the rich ecosystem on the surface of the planet. There have been made inter-continental tunnels underwater that facilitate the transport of materials and people. The seafloor is filled with small yet expanding cities.
Gadda
Gadda is the fifth planet in the system of Enovus, relatively close to the planet of Aldee. It was the first planet to be colonized by the Aldian people. It’s similar in size to Aldee, with the exception that there is a smaller landmass area. Aldians adapted and, after constructing and colonizing the land, they set on for the water - first few attempts failed, but eventually a waterproof material was found. This allowed for the creation of vast underwater cities, on both Gadda Prime but also Aldee.
Lore
The Warring Tribes Era
The people of Aldee developed many societies, some smaller, weaker ones being subjugated by the bigger, stronger ones. This led to the formation of four major tribes, the Ali’ans, Dee’ans, the Kar’ans and the Ler’ans. The Ali’ans and Der’ans tribes were located in the same continent, and they often fought, eventually the Ali’and won and subjugated the Dee’ans. The Ali’ans and Dee’ans eventually merged together, and formed the Aldee’ans Tribe. On the other continent that was habited, the Ler’ans Kar’ans tribes fought, too, but their engagements were not as frequent.
The Empire Era and The Great Collapse
The slowly expanding Aldee’ans Tribe eventually managed to conquer almost all the nations on their continent, and, as they assimilated the people conquered, rebellions became less frequent. This made them stop focusing on their continent, and, after a few attempts, eventually found a New World, where they discovered still primitive civilizations - they conquered and assimilated them, too.
One great revolt happened, due to high taxes, which took the Great Aldee’ans Empire down, splitting it into multiple kingdoms over two continents. King after king attempted to claim back the title of Aldeean Emperor, yet they all failed.
The Era of Progress
Industrialization spread around Aldee like wildfire. This is about the time when multiple coalitions were at war, which quickly turned into a Great War, lasting for well over 50 years. Starting with steam-based technology and ending with one coalition discovering nuclear weaponry and bombarding the others, it is incredible how quick they were able to technologically advance.
Era of Unity
The thought of nuclear devastation struck every nation and individual on the planet, and soon after the nations formed a global coalition, agreeing to not conquer each other and unite under one banner. This allowed not only for periods of internal peace and stability, but also for an even faster technological advancement. One common identity existed - that of the Aldeean people.
Space Era
Realizing that they needed to expand, they set their eyes on the sky. Every nation contributed with what they could into projects that were going to lead to the greater future of the race. One of these projects is building several space stations around Aldee, for research mostly, but also to resupply ships going beyond Aldee.
Colonization Era
The first habitable celestial being in sight was Aldee’s second moon, Akkar, which was large enough and had a thick enough atmosphere, containing even oxygen, to sustain an Aldeean. The first manned missions were sent here, and the first few colonies, established. The colonization of Akkar allowed for interplanetary expansion, Gadda being the first planet to be colonized, being relatively close to Aldee.
Golden Era
This is around the time that the Aldeean people discovered [EXPUNGED], allowing them to travel even quicker than the speed of light. This allowed for such a rapid expansion never seen before, as you could arrive at other Star Systems in seemingly the blink of an eye. Eventually, the majority of the Den’ar Star Systems that had planets were under the Nation’s control. At one point, the Aldian Republic became the Den’ar Republic.
The Great Downfall
After making contact with multiple civilizations and signing treaties with them, at this time, the Republic’s Government collapsed due to the economy collapsing, stability issues and frequent revolts, and, answering our desperate call, the Galactic British Empire came in and took almost full control of the Republic’s territories. They saved it, but the Republic wasn’t independent anymore. All that was left was the national identity and the Council of Representatives.
The Rebirth (Present)
After great efforts, the Council of Representatives managed to send one Diplomat to the Galactic British Empire, managing to, at last, gain independence and make the British forces leave their territory, effectively establishing a new Government - the New Den’ar Republic. To this day, it is still economically recovering from The Great Downfall.
Government
The Den’ar Republic is a social democratic elective federation. Education and healthcare are paid by the Government.
The Republic is ruled by a Council, made up of members of different parties. The more votes a party has the more seats it has in the council. The Council is led by one Grand Minister, which earns his position through merit. Even though the Council makes decisions, the Grand Minister gives the final word and makes the final decision. The current Grand Minister is Drak’an.
Military
Navy - Superior Maneuverability
The bulk of the Den’ar Navy is in its small, sub-kilometer vessels. Strike craft are designed to have excellent maneuverability, while maintaining moderate weaponry and moderate shielding. Meanwhile, larger ships are built to have excellent weaponry and excellent shielding, while their maneuverability gets worse the bigger the vessel.
Land - Superior Firepower
Although there are not many Den’ar land forces currently active in the military, most of them being reserves, they have been indoctrinated to use superior firepower as much as they can. This includes, but is not limited to: heavy use of artillery; heavy use of orbital bombardment on enemy forces; heavy use of armoured combat vehicles, especially the ones that can launch highly explosive kinetic projectiles.
Technology
Warfare
Energy-Based Weaponry:
[EXPUNGED] is a Laser Cannon that launches [EXPUNGED] to effectively melt through armour. Unlike other weaponry, this Laser Cannon is very expensive, and used very rarely, even though very effective.
Kinetic-Based Weaponry:
The Revenger is a Cannon that launches kinetic projectiles. It usually has a long barrel and has a decent reload speed. Its shell, after penetrating a Ship’s hull, proceeds to explode after a few seconds.
The Eraser is a Railgun Cannon that launches kinetic projectiles at such a speed that it can easily take down shields, its shells exploding immediately on contact, therefore being able to work against strike-craft, too.
Defence Technology:
[EXPUNGED] is a shield type, working by [EXPUNGED].
The Bulwark is an armor type; being made out of [EXPUNGED], it can withstand quite a punch.
Miscellaneous
[EXPUNGED] is a material resistant to water, as it doesn’t rust or difform when put in water. Is used to build most underwater cities.
