Alright I give up. If I can be able to think stuff up, I'll post it all in different words. Until then, well, here's the Mechera(unincluding tech, which would be posted after this in the correct forum):
Empire Name:The Mechera
Primary Race:Mechera, of course. It is, by the way, both plural and singular.
Empire Description:
The Mechera are a new race to this dimension, not even owning a single planet as of yet. Though 'race' isn't the proper term...as they are non-biological organisms. The Mechera, as their name suggests, are mechanical. They are a incredibly advanced 'species'(so to speak), possibly rivaling the best in here. At some point in their biological stage of civilization, they gained the technology necessary to safely ditch their flesh bodies for mechanical ones, which are NOT like their original species in appearance. They have no ties to their flesh bodies, which by now have long been rotted to dust. Their current bodies are and look completely mechanical; they simply see no need to look organic when they know they aren't. Back on the subject of their tech, they have very high tech levels in everything from calculators to weapons of mass destruction. In fact, if they wanted, they could likely fit a city-obliterating bomb in a briefcase, though they dislike the use of such weapons so greatly that they have blatantly refused to use them even if it meant the loss of a war; they'd rather lose a war than devastate another society irreparably-so long as it didn't put theirs in jeopardy. They are not the most peaceful that you'll see, however, not by a long-shot. You see, the Mechera WILL fight for what they want, if they know the odds are in their favor.
History: The Mechera have long been machines; this much is known by factions who know them. At least 6000 years have passed since then; and their reason was basically to extend their lives. In fact, if they make regular repairs to themselves(which most do), they'll never die of age. In fact, the only way to really kill them is to destroy the entire body(easily done with common explosives, but bullets and the such will be harder). Else wise, they can be repaired. This is the reason for their moving on to mechanical bodies-as a few do remember. Much of the time was largely uneventful, as they mostly had conquered their entire homeworld when they had flesh bodies, and by the time they gained these mechanical bodies, they weren't very much in the way of spacecraft technology(they simply hadn't researched spaceship tech much; sure they knew about the solar systems and such, and had advanced telescopes but they just went on with robotics technologies first, and then to advanced ), and thus they didn't have any true wars for the next 1500 years, until they had first contact with a race alien to them: the Aralangs. At first, they tried to have a completely diplomatic relationship, but for reasons unknown to either side they simply couldn't agree on much, and they had many wars with the Aralangs, all of which resulted in peaceful solutions to them(and few resulting in wins for the Mechera, due to the Aralang's superiority with spacecraft). At another 1500 years, making it 3000 years after they gained their mechanical bodies, they had four additional planets under their control-two of which shared the same sun as their home planet. These three planets were doomed, as at this time, that sun went supernova, engulfing the three core planets. They pleaded the Aralangs to help them, but not even they remember the answer-they wished to forget the rebuilding of their civilization, rather than remember the mourning, and the chaos that resulted of their leaders being gone. This lapse was around 450 years-the next thing they have recorded was the claiming of four planets unsuitable for biological life-these had no air, which wasn't a problem for machines. They were not waging war with the Aralangs, and they focused on building their economy. Other than that, the time was uneventful. Their leader was one of the few of their kind who had been a biological one of them at one point-a first generation. Of course, he looked like any other of their kind, since he'd been keeping himself working, but he was well known. He is still their ruler today, but this is due to his vast popularity among the people; he always helped his people over himself. 1150 years later, and they began experimenting with newer technologies, at least for them, like beaming and warp drives. They weren't motivated by conquest or millitary reason, but by their thirst for knowledge and the desire to explore. They simply wanted it all, and mainly ignored the Aralangs during this period, not wishing for a war. They focused on weapons technologies after 500 years of exploration, and for the next 500 years they began to conquer four other planets(they simply were in no rush to get many planets...they had all the time they'd need). At one point, they got in a war with the Aralangs, in which they (obviously) lost, but it was the most devastating of them-they'd lost two planets in this war. This left them with only eight planets under their control, and they made a peace treaty with their foes to put the in a peaceful, if not disliking, state. In the last of the 500 years, they've been experimenting with teleportation technologies and interdimensional techs, in fact it was completely by accident they found this one, as it was a miscalculation on their part during their experiments to find new modes of travel:instead of a portal to another world of theirs, they found a portal to here.
Appearance:
They are very much like the Geth(Mass Effect) in design, except for a few changes, like their heads aren't ALWAYS a flashlight, and they look more like machines than synthetics. There are also actually two 'models' of them, representing genders. They can also further customize themselves to their own like, meaning that they can be as diverse as any other race. They also have built-in speakers in their heads, built so as not to disrupt the way they look(as in, having completely visible speakers on your head? Not exactly cool looking), and these are what allow them to both speak and hear.
Model M:These ones are the 'male' model, and are typically more bulkier and stronger. These ones are also generally bigger, though its not uncommon to find a small male. These ones can put more force behind blows, but they have the weakness that they are sometimes slow...and in some cases, this ISN'T referring to movement speed.
Model F:These one's are generally slimmer and flexible, being the 'female' model. While they cant put as much force behind blows as the males, they are often much more agile, able to outrun or maneuver many athletic sprinters, not to mention quietly, often making them deadly assassins, though there are very few in that line of work.
Additional Information:They have a different language than most empires in SP. As such, it wouldn't be very easy to communicate with them if you haven't made contact with them before.
Territories:They have a few, but these do not reside within this dimension, and so aren't as consequential to THIS RP. Unless it is the reason for a battle between them and another faction that wouldn't have been started in SP's main dimension, in which case it could just be done in the Other forum.
