Wow you're really quitting right now?
I'm going to be joining this pretty soon once I come up with my race. Kinda late but whatever.

CIVILIZATION BELIEFS: Consists of no religion, with an elected Emperor from a direct popular vote. The Humans of Phoenix Rising's history has given them their moniker as well as their most common colloquial metaphor and unofficial motto: "From the ashes." Social structure is based on wealth and merit. The government is mostly a plutocracy aside from the Emperor.

HISTORY:
The year was 2025, and it was a time of great innovation and technological advancement. The people of their homeworld enjoyed great luxury. Science was an all time priority for these people, finally able to reach out and touch the stars. They colonized nearby moons and planets within their own system, too obsessed with mining and toiling and building to ever leave the confines of their small nine planet system. Soon the many hundreds of asteroids, dozens of moons, and handful of planets were all fully developed. Everybody was happy and technology was advancing at a near alarming rate.
Fast forward nearly a century. The Humans of this system still had not left, and were still enjoying great technological advancement. Cybernetics and electronics within one's own body were commonplace, a sign of societal advancement. This race was attempting to reach perfection through technology, with implants that boosted physical and mental abilities. The area of genetics, however was left mostly untouched until several breakthroughs in gene sequencing were made. The people cheered for new races of beings, new organisms to populate these otherwise barren worlds in their system. Scientists did so, creating beings suited for individual worlds. Low gravity, high gravity, low temperatures and high. There were, like with most advancements, ulterior motives. On the most remote world on the far reaches of this system lied a small, cold, barren world. Here laboratories worked in secret around the clock, engineering a perfect race bred for war. The race could reproduce at alarming rates, survive in any environment, even the vacuum of space. This perfection came at a cost. This species was extremely aggressive, intelligent, and patient. As the species was bred, due to their extremely high reproduction rate they began to evolve all on their own. Soon they were able to think as a group - a collective consciousness. The more there were, the smarter they were.
Within a year, the race was created and bred to the low millions. The government issued a large colony ship to take the specimens and seed them into a neighboring system - to test their abilities. The ship , passing the middle planet of the system, suffered catastrophic engine failure and crash landed on a moon orbiting that world. Knowing the risk, the government dispatched scouts and surveyors to make sure the specimens had either been destroyed or stayed in containment. After an investigation, it was deemed that the species had been destroyed, and they were never meant to survive for long periods in extremely hostile environments anyway....
Contact with several small outer rim colonies and outposts began around 6 years after the crash. At first, it was believed that the colonists simply abandoned these harsh areas or had died. In addition, strange sightings by civilian merchants were reported by the many uncolonized moons, too hostile for even genetically-modified colonization. These were written off as nothing but normal celestial events. As the sightings increased, more and more colonies started dropping from the grid. Whole ships were disappearing without a trace. It was far too late that the government of this civilization acknowledged what had been happening. By then, this hostile species had already spread to dozens of moons. At their disposal was also an entire asteroid belt of possibly tens of thousands of asteroids, too far for colonization by the Humans. The species had been spreading like a cancer throughout the system, building into numbers in the high hundreds of billions.
It was another two years before the first outright attack occurred. One of the most prosperous colonies was overrun and converted for the dread species' use in only a matter of weeks. Mass panic struck, with billions of souls escaping to the inner-circle of only four worlds. Luckily for these people, the government had already recalled all military vessels and build a formidable defense at the innermost asteroid belt, defending the homeworld and the only terraformed world in the system. This gave them time, only about a year, but time to find a solution. Secret meetings were held to postulate the continuity of their species as a whole. Although there were tens of billions left, everyone knew all too well that number didn't mean anything. The final battle was about to begin.
It was mid-year when the full offensive began. Hundreds of billions of the hostile species threw themselves at the defense ring. Although the Humans fought well, there was nothing that could have fought those kinds of numbers. In a matter of weeks, many holes were punched through the defense, with billions upon billions of parasites pouring through and utilizing the asteroids as new colonies, ever strengthening their numbers. All ships were called to fall back to the home world, only a few hundred military and converted civilian ships were left to fight. The many stations and bases set up at the defense ring were left to their fates, and were overrun. Only four planets remained, but not for a few weeks. The creatures descended upon the mostly undefended colonies until the homeworld was left, the parasites had been saving it for last. Billions of creatures engaging in combat with the last of the fleet, a spectacular sight. Parasites landed on the planet and ground troops began to engage. The humans and their concentrated defense worked well. Near constant fighting for the better part of four months left the homeworld in ruins, but the Humans were still alive. But the survivors, now numbering only in just over a hundred million, knew that they could not last any longer. What was left of the fleet concentrated their efforts in distracting the parasite fleet, in order to create gaps in their blockade of the world. In this window, a dozen colony ships and a handful of small military ships were launched from the last remaining shipyard on the planet, making use of the distraction and plotted a course for deep space, their passengers and crews entering cryogenic sleep. Meanwhile, it was decided that the remaining few million survivors would make their last stand. The plan was simple, fight to the death. This was of course, another distraction. A series of tugging ships were sent into the nearby asteroid belt, their task was to make sure that if Humanity could not have their home world, nobody could. As the last few million on the homeworld were fighting, the arrogant parasites decided to send almost everything they had to the homeworld. Their entire population, tens of trillions were either on the ground or in space around the planet, waiting for their moment of victory. These tugging ships brought with them two large asteroids from the belt. Their civilization was over, the planet had all but fallen. The ships released their asteroids toward their homeplanet before being destroyed by the parasites surrounding the planet. The last surviving humans still fought as the asteroids plunged into the world. The resulting explosions turned the world to fire, killing everything on the ground as well as in space.
So started the journey of the flagship Phoenix, the leading ship of the last remnants of these Humans in the galaxy. After a hundred years, they found a new home and settled it anew, like a phoenix rising from the ashes. What lies ahead, well, that is yet to be written.
[sp] The story I just wrote actually happened in a hardcore 4x game called Aurora. I did everything, from building the race of parasites to told the asteroids to destroy the homeplanet.Also shameless Deus Ex quote for the first sentence[/sp]
Goody, neighbors, wanna trade?
What's the tl;dr on your race's political and social views?
The political and social views are only a sentence long, the history is the big part.
But politically: expansionist and diplomatic.
Social: Visible social structure based on merit and wealth. A plutocracy.
Alright, I woke up early when i read the turn and didn't really have enough energy to read positively. So I'll be staying in the game

I give you 3 turns until you stop being one of those. :v:
Well "expansionist" as in colonizing new worlds, but mainly peaceful.
Industrial and Mining is where it's at.
Wow what a completely fascinating page king.
It's all about the biotechnology. Gonna make giganto mecha-hornet swarms that inject acid and tranquilizer and you can't do shit about it.
It's really all about exploring the galaxy and find great planets and civilza-
OH SCREW IT, FUCKING THING INVASIONS
My race already knows how to deal with parasitic swarm aliens.
You commit suicide and try to take them with you.
Guys, guys, guys
You're all wrong.
CLEARLY it's all about cracking open planets to procure their delicious mineral tastyness.
You wetskins don't even understand all the culinary intricacies that come with mineral utilization, don't you.
Oh yeah? Technological Advancement is where it's at. Turning Minerals into powerful technology that man only dream't of before it went into the great ocean that is Space.

Your 'empire' is a wasteland you have no room to talk here.
Eh, it's recovering. Besides i've still got a buttload of tech to use.
[QUOTE=StarToad;35926667]Eh, it's recovering.[/QUOTE]
Not for long! Muahahahaha
This looks interesting. Who do I submit my stuff to?
[Seed Eater]
SUBMIT TO ME, MORTAL.
In return, you get cavorite.
How often do the turns come about?
[QUOTE=JgcxCub;35950536]How often do the turns come about?[/QUOTE]
Usually once every few days, but it depends on how fast everyone gets their turns in.
Thanks for reminding me though, I'll make mine when I get home in 5 hours.
This is inspiring, I spent two hours last night thinking up my species and biological justifications for how it fights. :D
Well, if we can get Sunny, Ven, Urban and Eternal's turns in, we can have a turn today or tomorrow.
What about me?
[QUOTE=Webby2020;35955135]What about me?[/QUOTE]
Yours is in already, isn't it?
