In order tokeep the other discussion thread tidy, I wanted to post this one. So go ahead and post what race you will have in the next Sci-Fi themed map game.
This is mine:
Lore: The Lactonians rule over a planet called Exiguuswhich is quite small (About 75% of earth.). They have lived and ruled with a democratic council (this is a different kind of democratic council, in which the Council’s leader which is named The Princeps can make a final and different decision then what was voted for.) for millenia. They have an ancient god (Named Lazoria), in which has said, “Do not venture into the Depths of Wonder (Space) until you have been granted the passage. A sign will come, and you will be directed. You will rule great, far and wide, making many allies, and many enemies.” (So basically when the map game starts, there god will tell them its time to move it or loose it.) Now, even though they have not had any war themselves, Lazoria has warned them a day will come when you will have to defend you world. That is why they have prepared a military.
Name: The Lactonians
Race Name/Desc: Lactonian. A 7 foot tall green creature with 3 arms on both sides and only 2 legs. They have 5 eye balls.
Government: A type of democracy. They have 5 council leaders, all with equal power. (Except for The Princeps which can make any decision as explained above. He is the fifth member.) Considering no other race’s have ever ventured into the planet they all are lactonians, they all believe in the only god that is known to them, and they more or less live in a utopia. That will change when they explore though… However due to this cooperation between Lactonians, they have been able to make high tech weapons and ships.
Ships:
The Destromilon is a 2km long ship, which carries the other smaller ships, as well as being the HQ for that section of space. It’s role is to be a docking station as well as a battle station. It’s tech is as follows: two pulse beams. One mounted on top of ship, and one on bottom. Powerful kinetic weapons line the side and back of ship as well. It has a 2 tonne EM absorption field, as well as a strong meteorite shield, and electromagnetic absorption field. Also, I should note that no Lactonian ships have breathable air. Lactonians have special ways of staying alive explained in the biology section. This also makes it somewhat hard for people on the Lactonian home planet, because it consists of a lot of bad gases.
The Zaxoren is a smaller 750m ship whose role is transporting cargo across the galaxy. It has only small kinetic weapons, and has only a 1 tonne meteorite shield. It has a powerful hyperdrive, allowing it to zoom through space.
The Lakern is a 30 foot fighter ship, which is rigged with VERY powerful kinetic weapons, and a meteorite shield to go with them. It has a single powerful gamma laser on the front as well. It can carry 10 passengers plus the pilot and copilot.
They have hover tanks for land fighting. They consist of mostly kinetic weaponry as well as a pulse beam. They are also fitted with a meteorite shield and an EM absorption field.
So in other words, there tech is engineering. Very advanced engineering you might say. They also have made other special tech, like automated food growing, with a special gizmo called a time accelerator. Basically you put a room, with a garden in there, and a skylight, as well as water, and a special thing makes your foodgrow faster, so they have never really needed to have hectares full of farmland, there world is mostly cities, to asccompany there large population.
Pop: 19 billion. Which is spread out into more or less a giant city that sprawls over the planet.
Biology: An average Lactonian adult measures 7ft in height and way about 200ish pounds. They have 3 arms on each side. They have a dark blue complexion. They have 5 eyeballs on there face. They only take 2 years to reach full adulthood and have a life expectancy of about 100 years. That is why the population is so large. They also breed semi-fast. There internals are laid out like this. The have a mouth, which you put food in, and the food goes down the throat to the stomach where there food is used in two different ways. First, the protein and nutrients go to there body to be used in the production of energy and nutrients and such, but the excess food is used in a process called Larcramonation. During this process, the left over food particles are converted into oxygen. This oxygen is used to give energy throuout the body in the blood stream. That is why they do not need oxygen in the air. Therefore there mouths are used for eating and talking only. Talking is achieved not by air moving passed chords like humans, but instead from gases inside them releasing through there chords. Also, Lactonians do not go to the bathroom, because all materials they eat is used up during Larcramonation.
), and of course people want to know more & are getting impatient
