[Openme-developers] Idea for race descriptions/background

[Stephen L <ste...@ho...>]

Zycklirg Hordes:-

A spiritual race, that has lived in peace with all races for a millennium. 
They have spent their time building up a strong social order and protecting 
their resources. They have researched many ways to save energy, whether it 
is construction or on travelling though the vast universe. Their peace was 
shattered over 500 years ago when their spiritual home of Gebela was invaded 
and the spiritual home was destroyed by the KEA. With reason and talks 
failing the Zycklirg where left with no choice but to fight. With no 
experience in war the Ritua Priests called on the Secretive and ancient 
order of the Spiritcon to protect their way of life. The Zycklirg Hordes are 
highly trained warrior monks who in a short period of time recruited and 
train large numbers of Zycklirgs. The Zycklirg Hordes massed the largest 
fleet of ships ever seen to drive the KEA out. The battle of Gebela was not 
won by either side and cost the lives of 250 million Zycklirg Hordes. 
Following the battle the Ritua Priests order that all Zycklirg shall serve 
in the Zycklirg Hordes and that research in warfare be the main focus until 
this KEA threat be removed for once and for all.
You have read about it in the history books, now you must answer the call 
and make history too and defend your races way of live. Are you up to it? If 
you are a ship awaits you!

Kallan Emporium Acquisitions:- (K.E.A).

The Kallan Emporium race has only lived above the surface of their planet 
for the last 200 years. Their advances however have been very fast. Their 
ships being able to hold vast amounts of much needed cargo. They have spent 
most of their resources and now search the universe in the search for worlds 
to mine and strip of all natural minerals. During their travels they have 
made many enemy, but now they are at peace with all but the Zycklirg. This 
war has raged now for 5 decades with neither side willing to talk peace. The 
war started over the mining of Gebela, a planet rich in minerals but also an 
ancient spiritual home to the Zycklirg. The first major battle taking place 
in the Gebela sector and resulting in the death of 200 million Kallan 
Emporium Doki and the lost of 900 billion oraim energy crystals.
The years of war and mining have taken their toll on their social. 
Everything is now focused towards the claiming of resources with young 
Kallan Emporium being forced to enlist in the Emporium Acquisitions . The 
Emporium Acquisitions are made up of traders and warriors, ready to fly to 
any part of the universe to claim a planet and remove resources that they 
find there.
Now you have reached the age of enlistment. The Emporium Acquisitions 
require your services to maintain the supply of goods and riches.

Paragon:-

The Paragon race was once a great and powerful race spanning many solar 
systems. They prided themselves on having knowledge. This quest for 
knowledge had compelled them to research and explore the galaxy.

During there many years of research they discover the technology for the 
creation of Xollians. This lead to many years of high productive and many 
advances in technology. But no one could imagine the cost on the Paragon 
society. Things started to go wrong, as the Xollians started think for 
themselves. The Xollians secretly plotted their escape and their numbers 
grew as did the concern of the council. Weeks before a planned reductions in 
the Xollian numbers they took over several key facilities. Many Xollian died 
as they tried to escape but a few of them did. Many years had past and many 
Xollian had been de-activated, the search for those that remained had been 
stopped. A new danger to our way of living had immerged.   A few scientists 
had notice the Veis star getting larger and larger. As its’ brightness grew 
so the planet’s environment began to shift from one extreme to the other. 
The Paragon decided they had no other choice but relocate their whole 
population to a distant galaxy. As they left the star imploded into a 
SuperNova destroying the whole galaxy and now nothing remains in that part 
of space but dead space.

Now you must help to rebuild the Paragon empire and to hunt down the 
remaining Xollians who still haunt the memories of your people. Help your 
race succeed in their new home and in their quest.

Xollian Mantis:-   (Xollian)

Having been engineered and breed only a few decades ago the Xollian have as 
yet not discovered much of the universe. What they have discovered they have 
had to fight for. The Xollian where engineered 72 years ago by Paragon 
scientists. They where breed for the sole purpose of hunting. Their creators 
frequently sent many thousand Xollian to their death on suicide missions in 
there search for knowledge.

After 47 years of this way of “life” the first Xollian (Talut) gained the 
ability of independent thought. This was kept secret for a further 5 years 
as Talut help many other Xollian’s to achieve the level of independent 
thinking. As time past the Xollian’s increased in number and in their desire 
for freedom. The secret council of the Xollian’s planned their escape even 
though they knew would cost many lives. They took over several key Paragon 
starbases, including the Nemimus Centre (Paragon starship research centre). 
They held these facilities for almost a week while they prepped their 
starships for their escape.

The time came to make their new ships (including some experiential cloaked 
ships)   out though the Paragon’s fleet that they new was waiting for them. 
Many Xollian where lost as they broke though the Paragon fleet including 
Talut. But escape they did. Now you the latest and most advanced Xollian 
have been engineered, you have been granted the  honour of being assigned to 
the Xollian Mantis. It is your duty to find a new area for your race to 
populate.


Mawlor Royal Guard :-

The Mawlors have been around for centuries. They are the charismatic holy 
warriors of Valok who fool many people into thinking they are being helped, 
when in fact the Mawlors are only helping themselves.

Overall, Mawlors seek glory and prestige. They do not care how it is 
obtained, but they wish to be recognized by large amounts of people for 
their skill and prowess. If they achieve this by helping the poor, so be it. 
But often times they will make deals on the side with the enemy in case 
things don't pan out, or to enhance the perceived glory they get for the 
"valiant rescue". In the end, it comes down to looking out for number One.

The home of the Mawlors originate from the planet Mertren, which lies on the 
edge of the delta quadrant. However Mawlors have for the last thousand years 
been a nomadic race who roamed the universe constantly looking for new 
challenges and excitement. Their one turning point was when they took part 
in a great race war. Siding with Paragon allies. Even though they were 
extremely skilled in combat, the Mawlor armies and their allies were greatly 
outnumbered at the Battle of Basheba Prime and were defeated. The remaining 
Mawlor factions gathered their families and fled for the very survival of 
their race, contrary to the very nature of their being.

The structure of Mawlor society is largely based on a warrior-like code of 
honor and relationships between families. Honour, pride, and trust are the 
foundations on which Mawlor society is based. Perhaps the most interesting 
aspect of the society is that there are very few written laws and no one has 
the sole position of enforcing them. When young Mawlors reach a certain age 
they are required to swear on their families honour that they will do their 
best to respect their own kind and protect that honor. Lying, stealing, 
cheating, and other such acts are simply considered to be beneath them. Any 
Mawlor who has proved him or herself to be dishonorable will be punished 
mercilessly by their peers.

Now you have come of age and as the eldest member of your house it is your 
honour to join the Royal Guard and seek to honour your house.



With this sort of history/background to each of the races it would be 
possible (if necessary) to start each race with different realtion levels.
