Brief overview of the three major powers:

The Earth Federation - The second largest of the three major galactic powers. Militarily powerful, their fleet is the second largest but is the most advanced in galaxy.

Founded after the war of 2070, much of the galaxy have standardized their time keeping ways to Federation standards. Federation Basic is also know by almost every species in the galaxy, even though native languages are still accepted.The Federation is also the largest source of trade and technological advancements.

Earth, Felar, and Cruuman are the three major planets of the Federation. They share responsibilities for running the Federation with a council composed of six Council members for each planet, and a head Chancellor to break a tie. Because of the way that the systems are, there are also two representatives for each system during council sessions.

The Procan Dominion - Territorial wise, the Dominion is the most vast of the three powers. Like the Federation, the Dominion has a long and proud military history. Their fleets are vast, their military mighty.

After the Galactic War of 2138, the Dominion was on the verge of collapse. The two major planets, Balina and Edjharra, started to fight for supremacy. It was during this civil war that the Federation allowed its fleets to grow lax.

The Dominion is wracked by economic troubles, as well as recent outbreaks of an Influenza-type disease. Despite this, the common soul of the Dominion respects, even loves, their leaders.

The Dominion hierarchy is very monarchial. A mated pair, one Edjharran and the other Balinan, make the many decisions. They are often advised by a group of Admirals, Generals, and Cri'gail.

The Romani Altare Union - Nominally, this territory was neutral during the many wars. Because of the way that the Union is set up, politically, the many territories can strike up treaties of their own. There is a central power, but the many systems are almost entirely independent.

This means that although all four of the major powers come under one leadership, each of the powers has their own governments. This also means that each keeps their own military, trade agreements, and alliances, separate from the Union.

A good example of this are the Tilki and Tasef systems. These are amongst the largest powers in the the Union, but are independent of it, having chosen to support the Federation in times of war.

The other two powers in the Union, the Elkar and Uthan systems, are more neutral. The Uthan truly support their pact of non-aggression and neutrality. Anyone is allowed within their boarders, and will be protected by the Uthan military (Think Switzerland during World War II).

Whereas the Elkar often act as mercenaries, fighting for the highest bidder. There are some that have sworn loyalty to the Federation, or the Dominion, or even to the Union.

The Wehrmact Empire - The fourth, and most isolated of the four civilizations. They serve themselves first, and are heavily based in racial superiority. Even they control a fairly small area, their military strength is unknown to the other three nations.

They speak a language very similar to Earth-German, and they're very similar in governing and military style's to the Nazi party. Almost all of their soldiers and citizens are fanatically loyal to the leadership. With a mandatory military service between the ages of 15-25, their entire civilization is based on military precision and loyalty.

There are two major systems in the Empire, Wehrmact and Yahuar. There is a 'Senate,' whose members are composed up of officials from the various start systems under their command, but they have no real power in the government.

_One thing that is generally accepted within the first three of these powers is that A.I.'s, artificial intelligence, are dangerous. Many ships have an inbuilt computer, but are always dialed back so that they cannot operate without a flesh-and-blood operator. _

_This was after a series of "Cyber Rebellions" where three A.I.'s, one from each major power, almost brought the galaxy to a complete stop. After their destruction, precautions were put into place to prevent such a thing from happening again. _

Brief history of the Galactic War:

After an unprovoked attack against Allto Marne, a peaceful Federation colony, the Federation declared war on the Procan Dominion in 2138.

What followed was six months of savage fighting, where almost thirty boarder planets and two entire star-systems were annihilated. Estaminets range that anywhere from 10-40 million civilians on both sides were killed. Almost 12 million soldiers were killed in those few months of fighting.

After the destruction of the majority of the Dominion fleet at Krashdren, peace talks were opened. Terms were struck in 2139, after which an uneasy truce existed for seven years.

For the last three years, the Dominion has been ravaged by a vicious civil war. This is why the Federation Fleet was scattered, and how the Dominion was able to strike hard and deep into Federation territory.

Now fighting has resumed, but the Federation fleet is scattered. Starbase's Silver, Gold, and Diamond are amongst the few military holdout's left of the Federation boarder fleet. The few Admirals that were posted on the boarder are divided on what to do, leaving the Federation Fleets in a state of disarray.

Species list:

The galaxy is filled with creatures of all kinds. Strangly enough, only the more bi-pedal species have grown into a state of higer intelligence.

Earth Federation Species - Because of the way that the Federation is founded, there are many species from all over the galaxy within their boarders. Including members from the Union and Dominion and Empire.

Susuv - Wolf anthropomorphic. One of the most common races within the Earth Federation. They can come in a variety of colors with the most common being grey, white, or black. They are not the best at any one thing, rather being a master of all.

Washai - Eagle anthropomorphic. While not as common as other species, they are not an uncommon sight within the military. They are often renowned for their piloting skills. They are covered in feathers, often gold, brown, or golden-brown in color.

Neko - A broad term, covering all feline anthropomorphic beings. Because it is such a blanket term, a Neko could be anything from a bobcat-esque being to a lion looking one. In general, they are well know for their physical skills, as well as their computer abilities. This excludes black-jaguars that serve the Empire though, as they consider themselves an entirely diffrent race.

Romani Altare Union Species - The nature of the Union means that many of the species are also part of the Federation. Although the Union would never declare themselves an open ally of the Federation or Dominion.

Ekifir - Lizard anthropomorphic creatures. Covered in scales, they are almost universally brown scaled. The largest difference between them are the highlights in their scales, usually brown, green, and light-blue tints. They often get nicknames, as their native names are almost impossible to pronounce outside of the Ekifir language. Well renowned for their natural affinity for ranged weapons.

Uthio - Bear looking beings. They have brown or white fur. They are usually a peaceful species, but do have the capability to wage war. Well know for their natural affinity for engineering expertise as well as medical technology.

Tasef - Deer anthropomorphic beings. They look a lot like white-tailed deer, even having horns on the bucks. Those bucks that join the military often shave down their horns so that they don't get in the way. This race values respect and honor, which is why they often get political positions within the military.

Tilki - Fox anthropomorphic beings. They are often identified by their long, bushy tails. They are usually red or white in coloration. Known for being highly intelligent, yet slightly eccentric.

Procan Dominion Species - They are strict about who can be a member of the Dominion. They are willing to accept the mercenary help of the Ekifir, but look down on the other races.

Balina - An orca looking species. With their blue-tinted skin, they are easily identified by the dorsal ridge on the top of their heads and their tri-fingered hands. Most of their species also have tri-toed feet, but many also have four. They value honor, strength in battle, and the chain-of-command above almost all else. The current Kris of the Dominion is Savelia Tristarka Drugandera.

Edjharra - A very draconic looking species. Their scales come in almost any color imaginable, with the most common being a crimson-red. They are also know for their ability to produce small amounts of flame from special glands within their throats. Tough warriors, they prefer more traditional ways of combat, including melee combat. Currently the Kral of the Dominion is Cristan Quraktan Drugandera.

The Wehrmact Empire Species - With a code of racial superiority, only three species are allowed to even become citizens of the Empire.

Eckzahn - A German Shepherd style species. Sharp, intelligent, and calculating, they form the majority of the Empire's fighting force. Well known for their mechanical skills, they are also fiercly loyal to whomever has gained their loyalty.

Kisik - Husky's, almost always with white fur and blue eyes. Similar to the Shepherd in most all regards.

Yahuar - Black jaguars, seperate from the Neko race. Spoken of within the contex of the Empire, this is what they are known as. Fast, inteligent, and brutal, they serve the Empire to the best of their ability.

So here's a general overview of this galaxy. Some brief history, the names and such of the species, and certain cultural aspects. Now please note, that like reality there will always be those that fall outside the norm. This is why certain events will happen in the furture that don't fit with the cultural aspects I have here....
