Lore Section:
This is one of many posts still in the works jotting down what ive done so far for lore.. they are incomplete and will be updated/edited as time progresses:
Tech race 1 (incorporating japanese/chinese naming)
Name: Nakama
General Description: A conglomeration of corporation states under the rule of the best corporation. IE auroran houses under the rule of the empire but still at war with one another to promote a survival of the fittest mentality. Also purposely done for population control and asset control. (they dont want any of the corporations to become to powerful as to replace the ruling Corporation. These guys are cold and detached business men not per say a warrior culture.
Original notebook writing:
A detached conglomerate of imperially controlled corporations.
On a world similar to earth in a rather stunning region of space what with the Ika Nebula (translated into basic as Radiant Fire for its crimson red and swirls of clementine orange) which is located only 74 au away from there homeworld.
A race of humanoids, imposing men standing at 6 to 7 feet tall with a heavy frame, had established a city state empire across their world. There governments where merely puppets controlled by the ruthless CEO's of the various weapons manufacturers scattered across the land each of which vied for higher sales and growth.
One fateful day a starship descended from the skies in the name of peace to make contact with this young race which had at the time recently begun colonization of there home system.
They envied this hyperspace technology and orchestrated the takeover of there ship by holding the members of her crew hostage forcing out its occupants. They then shlepped off these aliens to bio study facilities that inflicted them with immense pain tests and chemical experiments. Seizing the starship they dismantled it and reverse engineered her technology pushing them forward almost half a century worth of research development. Using this new found equipment they encroached across the stars. With the governments being dismantled in a final world war and a new world order established under the sovereignty of the Hoshiyo (Generation of the Star Ie The Board Members under the Ruler) and its current ruling families of which the Kyokusai Family have gained a significant leverage over all the others.
The Hoshiyo has decided that the only way to prune out the weak and promote strength is by way of pitting the imperial corporations against each other and by aggressive expansion outwards. Morality thrown aside high production high profits are the order of the day. Slavery is compeletly legal and in some instances used to pay off vast debts which happens often since the cost of living is high. Slavery is even seen as a form of entry level position to the major corporations since debts can be payed off and personal growth can be achieved. There cold and detached but not overlords.

Tech race 3 (incorporating middle eastern naming as its linguistical base with slight spelling modifications to avoid flak from religious people... not trying to piss anyone off lol)
Umma-ri pronounced ooh-maar-ee
Physical description:
Ancient Umma-ri
The Elders are shorter with stockier frames, lighter skins and generally
dress in royal robes. They have fallen much from there once humble origins.
They have become in bed with there masters the Nakama sacrificing the heaven in there books for the pleasures/wealth that the Nakama offer. They now twist and pervert the holy books to keep the masses subjugated.
A few have joined the revolt and have become truly powerful masters of there book enlightening and teaching the populace with the true doctrines.
Standard Umma-ri
Humanoid like with slightly pointed ears, taller slim frame, dark- tan skin
due to there preference for desert worlds. (there homeworld is desert like
with paradise oasis's) They rebelled against the Nakama and now must wage a war to convert those who are still influenced by the corrupt Elders and free there brethren from slavery.
Some are still loyal to the Nakama either by choice or manipulation (willingly or unwillingly)
Life span: long lived 240 years + natural they tend to avoid advanced life
expanding medicine citing the passage "... and be proud that the
preciousness of life has been bestowed upon you! Fear not the mortality of
man, for with acceptance of ones fate comes peace. Peace of mind with which
to be free from the shackles of oppression. Death is an inevitability so be
not afraid to stand against the demons who use destruction to enslave.."
On a desert world tucked away in the pocket system of Rabia, lies a desert
planet called Cemca. Around the Umma-ri's earliest recorded history...
(Editors Note: To be completed at a future date)
