Offtopic Stellaris Invicta: The Return (AKA Empire Signups)
If you remember this from back in May, congrats! You remember more than I do. This is a refresher, a series where I take peoples suggestions for empires and post about them. This time, however, I will make individual posts about the specific empires instead of adding them to the list. Kinda like how people here do the Offtopic Memes or SCP's.
Without further ado, we shall begin.
[b]Welcome, to [i]Stellaris[/i][/b]. The game itself is a real-time strategy game created by Paradox Interactive (Available on steam and Consoles. Great game) but that is not the purpose of this post. I want to have Offtopic create their own Empires, and see which one would win in an intergalactic war.
The topics provided here are from the Empire Creation screen in Stellaris. Choose your topics, and create your alien race for Conquest!
[b][i]SPECIES:[/i][/b]
Appearance (Choose One):
-Humanoid (Like humans)
-Machine (Robots)
-Mammalian (like Cat People)
-Reptilian (Lizard like People)
-Avian (Bird People)
-Arthropod (Bug like People)
-Molluscoid (Squid like People)
-Fungoid (Mushroom People)
Name:
Physical traits:
-2 Advantages
-2 Disadvantages (Example: Cannot adapt to frozen environments)
-Lore Background: The Story of this race, and how they got involved in intergalactic affairs and shit.
[b][i]HOMEWORLD[/i][/b]
Name:
Type (Choose one):
-Continental
-Ocean
-Tropical
-Desert
-Arid
-Savanna
-Tundra
-Alpine
-Arctic World

Number of Planets in the system:
[i][b]GOVERNMENT/ETHICS [/b][/i]
(Note: Certain ethics will contradict the other. These will be listed in contradiction to each other. You have the option to choose a fanatical version (yellow) of an ethic, providing special bonuses but takes 2. The maximum amount of points is 3.)
Picture here: [url=https://stellaris.paradoxwikis.com/images/thumb/0/08/List_of_Ethos.png/330px-List_of_Ethos.png] Ethics[/url]
-Xenophobe/ Xenophile (Dislike or Like Alien Species)
-Militarist / Pacifist (Self-explanatory)
-Authoritarian / Egalitarian (Enslave/Castes or Equality for all)
-Materialist / Spiritualist (Technology or Faith)
-Gestalt Conscious (Hive mind, cannot choose other Specializations. Applies to Machine empires as well as Organic)
[i]Ruling[/i] (Pick one)
-Democratic Governments. All citizens have a say
-Oligarchy. The position is held by a few individuals with very little political movement
-Dictatorship: Power is held by one individual, another shall rule under an election from the previous one's death.
-Imperial. Same as a dictatorship, but no election is held.
[b][i]EMPIRE APPEARANCE[/i][/b]
-Name:
-Flag Appearance: (Can be whatever, just not any real life nations. Don’t make it into a joke.)
Example: [url=https://odingaming.files.wordpress.com/2017/07/teht-flag-pack.png] Flags[/url]
-Ruler: Must include title, gender, name, and so forth.
-Ship Appearance:
This is based on whatever species type you chose. Example: Mammailans get mammalian ships
All of these will dictate your empire, and I’m rather interested to see what Offtopic will come up with.
Will you be a copy of the Imperium of Man? Or will you be an army of Toasters that seek destruction for all? The choice is yours.

2 RepliesSpecies: Appearance: Humanoid Name: Frostwalkers Physical traits: incredibly strong, quick learners, cannot adapt to high heat, slow Lore: Originating on an alpine world with few predators, a thriving civilization began. After a few centuries, a ragged band of explorers landed on their planet. They were accepted into the civilization and taught the empire the secrets of space travel. Due to their ability to learn quickly, they soon mastered the limited technology and began to expand. Learning from every planet they conquered, they soon became an incredibly powerful intergalactic empire. Homeworld: Name: Origin Type: alpine Star system name: Arcturus Number of planets in the system: 7 Government/ethics: Xenophile, militarist, egalitarian, materialist, imperial Empire appearance: Name: The Dominion Flag appearance: black background, two crossed dark red swords behind a dark blue shield Ruler: Lord Mandel IV, male, 6'5", relatively skinny but muscled, incredibly smart Ship appearance: sleek but at the same time built to withstand major damage, pyramidal but with an isosceles triangle as the base

Edited by GiantSlayer: 9/9/2019 5:15:16 PM[b][i]SPECIES:[/i][/b] Appearance: -Machine (Android specifically) Name: D’valdior Appearance: Similar to that of an Exo from Density. Armor is a combination of Nordic, Crusader, and Roman influences, with fur for the cold weather of Vardon. Physical traits: Advantages: Possessing peak physical condition and Warrior instincts. Disadvantages: Strong-Willed, Require charging themselves via Starlight for energy. -Lore Background: Long ago, a warrior race of humanoids invaded an ancient planet. After driving the planet’s species to extinction, they raided the planet’s many temples and shrines. In one, they found an ancient tablet, with strangers tunes on it. They attempted to steal it too, but in doing so were cursed, stripping them of their humanity, their bodies, giving them ones of metal instead. For a while they wallowed in despair, regretting their sin, when one of them stood up and addressed the large mass and encouraged them, stating that this was not a curse but a blessing, allowing them to better themselves as warriors, and thus they should use their new abilities for good, rather than for personal gain. Thus, they created a thriving civilization on the planet, with their own system of law, where they valued Honor and Duty above all else. They soon expanded their efforts to other planets, offering help for the helpless, food for the hungry, and defense for the defenseless. [b][i]HOMEWORLD[/i][/b] Name: Vardon Type: Tundra Star System Name: Stav’rhan Number of Planets in the system: 5 [i][b]GOVERNMENT/ETHICS [/b][/i] Each system that the D’valdior rescue is faced with a choice: Become a part of the Contingency and enjoy many benefits while pledging their armies and resources for the benefit of the Contingency, or remain neutral. The Alien species are not allowed to take part in the tournaments that choose the next Emperor. -Xenophile -Militarist -Egalitarian [i]Ruling[/i] -Imperial. The ruler chooses his successor by holding a tournament to prove their worth. [b][i]EMPIRE APPEARANCE[/i][/b] -Name: The D’valdion Contingency. -Flag Appearance: a circle, with three external spikes potruding from the top, bottom right, and bottom left. -Ruler: Lord Thandion. Lord Thandion was the first to realize the benefits of the D’valdior’s new found abilities. He was elected unanimously to be the first Emperor of the D’valdion Contingency, and has successfully defended his position for over a decade. Spaceship Appearance: The D’valdior use specially designed gunships suitable for Air-to-Ground engagements or ship-to-ship combat. It closely resembles a VTOL Warship from Call of Duty, just for reference.

[b]Species[/b] Appearance: Machine (Bipedal) Name: Bionic Neutralization Juggernaut Advantages: -Mass Production -Durability Disadvantages -Weak to Electricity -Slow to Mobilize [b]Lore[/b] Created by a galaxy-spanning race to help defeat enemies without losing valuable species members, A flaw within their programming led them to kill all bionic lifeforms, no matter their affiliation. As time went on, another race of sentient machines found the machines, stuck in -blam!-, as they had completed their prime directive. The sentient race gave the BNJs Free will and intelligence, but didn't expect the BNJs to turn on them, declaring that the other race was inferior. the BNJs now roam the universe, assimilating all mechanical life forms, or terminating them, and fulfilling their primary goal of destroying all organic life. [b]Homeworld[/b] Originally an Arctic planet, Planet Alpha has become the central hub of the empire, where the central processors, which decide the best course of action, reside. All other planets in the system have been converted into factory worlds, where scrap and minerals from the planet are harvested and used to create more soldiers for the frontlines.

Disadvantage 1: Doesn't have sweat glands, so hot climates are a problem. Disadvantage 2: Cold-blooded and artic worlds are a problem. Lore/Backstory: They were once enslaved by a race on their home planet (Lesteria) that had pointed ears and dark skin, then one day the Reptile people sent a letter to the leader of the race that enslved them that simply said: "Frick you." and the Reptile people kicked them out of the galaxy. They then started taking over other planets to make sure that other races don't fall into slavery. Ethics: Fanatical Xenophile, Egalitarian, Materialist. Rule: Democratic Governments. Empire name: frick the dark elves. Flag: (I don't have any editing program to make one so I'll just describe it) A dark blue background with the following words in red, for the better of races our, for the better of all races, and under the words is a small picture of a lestra shaking hands with a human (The first race they took). Ruler: Lerra, male, tall (6'3") and muscular, two small horns on the top of his skull above his eyes, dark red scales with a flicker of blue when in the sun. Ship: usually long pointed ship with glass tops to let sunlight in, two mac guns (Large rail guns) at the front, on the top, is usually machine guns that can rotate in a 360, at the back are small rapid-fire machine guns, at the bottom is a large opening that will let their robotic fighter ships fly out. If i did anything wrong let me know.
